Chapter 22 Devastating Victory
boom--
The moment he was truly hit, the raider leader felt as if he had been struck by a giant battering ram.
An irresistible force sent his two-meter-tall body flying like a cannonball, shattering the throne that was usually held high above him, and crashing heavily against the wall.
"Cough cough... Ugh—"
Large spurts of blood gushed from his mouth; countless bones throughout his body were broken; the strength he was once so proud of was now completely gone.
The leader of the Bloodhand clan, a powerful raider known as "Bear," stared wide-eyed, looking down incredulously at his chest.
There, a completely sunken footprint had utterly shattered the surrounding bones and internal organs.
"This...is it human?"
Seeing the young man in the blue coat walking towards him as if no one else was there, Xiong struggled to stand up.
His eyes were bloodshot, and he roared silently with his mouth wide open, as if every cell in his body was straining.
Suddenly—
When his emotions reached their peak, Xiong suddenly froze, feeling a surge of heat flowing from his chest throughout his body, coursing through every blood vessel, every bone, every muscle, and every inch of skin.
His broken bones seemed to be put back together in an instant, his damaged internal organs seemed to be repaired in an instant, and his blood was flowing rapidly throughout his body. He felt his strength return and be greatly enhanced!
At the same time, thick and coarse hair suddenly grew wildly on his body, covering his entire body in a short time, as if he had turned into a real brown bear!
Awaken!
Recalling the rumors he had heard, Xiong instantly understood what had happened to him. He was overjoyed and a hideous, twisted laugh appeared on his face.
"Hahaha, you just wait—"
However, before he could even utter the word "death," a whistling fist had already slammed into his head.
boom!
His head exploded like a watermelon, spraying a large puddle of red and white matter onto the wall behind him.
"What are you muttering about? Maybe you're having a hallucination."
Li Yuan flicked the blood off his fist, turned around, and coldly swept his gaze across the surviving raiders.
Thump! Thump! Thump...
Sweeping across them with his cold, emotionless gaze, these terrified raiders dropped their weapons and knelt on the ground with their hands raised.
"I surrender! Don't kill me!"
"My lord! Spare me!"
"Spare me! I'll do anything!"
Although he couldn't understand what these people were saying, Li Yuan could guess the general meaning.
After thinking for a moment, Li Yuan lowered his fist and abandoned the idea of physically annihilating them all.
After all, he wasn't some bloodthirsty madman.
It has been proven that when people want to understand each other, even if they don't speak the same language, a glance or a gesture is enough for them to understand each other.
For example, right now, when Li Yuan threw a bundle of rope he found in the corner at these plunderers, they didn't even need Li Yuan to say anything; they hurriedly tied themselves up.
Finally, they even tied themselves and everyone else together with ropes, clearly demonstrating their deep understanding of the survival rules for losers in this wasteland.
Seeing this, Li Yuan nodded slightly, completely abandoning his original plan to make an example of the troublemakers and then physically eliminate a few disobedient individuals.
Then he went to the raiders and helped them dislocate the joints of their arms and legs.
This makes it much more difficult to untie the ropes or escape, and even if they manage to do so, they will be easily caught again.
After doing all this, Li Yuan opened the tire factory gate, stretched out a hand, snapped his fingers, and then shook his arm.
Old Bai, Fang Chang, Ye Shi, and Kuang Feng, who had been hiding not far from the tire factory and keeping a close eye on the gate, shouted in unison and clapped their hands in celebration.
Fang Chang, an agile player, was sent ahead to run back to the shelter to report the news, while the other three, beaming with pride, strode confidently into the abandoned tire factory.
Upon seeing it, they couldn't help but gasp in astonishment.
There were more than twenty corpses lying on the ground with their eyes wide open, blood and excrement everywhere, and bullet holes and craters all over the walls and the floor.
Li Yuan, who caused all of this, stood with his hands behind his back on the steps in the center of the hall, looking expressionlessly at the dozens of raiders who were tied up like dumplings in the flickering flames of the braziers on both sides.
In an instant, Lao Bai and the other two suddenly felt their breath catch in their throats, as if they were being pressed down by a heavy pressure from the sky, making their knees weak and their legs tremble uncontrollably.
It was as if Li Yuan in front of them was no longer their teammate, no longer a player like them, or even a person like them!
Fortunately, this feeling came and went quickly. As Li Yuan's lips curled up slightly, the heavy pressure finally disappeared.
"Brother Yuan is awesome! Did you find anything good?" Ye Shi was so excited he almost jumped up.
Li Yuan smiled faintly, looking indifferent: "I haven't looked yet. You can go if you want, and let me know if you find anything good."
"Yay!"
Ye Shi let out a strange cry and rushed into the deep room as if he couldn't wait any longer.
Gale glanced thoughtfully at the bound raiders in the hall and asked, "Should we spare their lives?"
"Hmm." Li Yuan nodded. "Living is more valuable than dying, so the management should find them a good home."
"I see." Old Bai seemed to have figured something out, his lips curled into a grin, and his expression gradually became less like that of a good person.
Kuangfeng also looked on with agreement: "Given what they've done, killing them ten times wouldn't be too much. It's fine this way; let them spend the rest of their lives paying for it."
Old Bai patted Kuangfeng on the shoulder: "Let's go! Let's go see what good stuff is here. That brat Ye Shi is so loud and boisterous, we can't let him miss anything."
As they spoke, the two followed Ye Shi with light steps and went rummaging through the drawers and cabinets together.
Li Yuan remained standing still, quietly experiencing the changes in his body.
……
In the sanatorium.
Fang Chang ran back without stopping, still breathless, and rushed to the dawn, shouting excitedly, albeit haltingly:
"Manager... sir... hehe... the raider camp... we... have taken it down..."
Upon hearing this, Shuguang's face immediately lit up with a smile: "Really? That's wonderful!"
Fang Chang took two deep breaths to calm himself, then nodded vigorously: "It's true, Manager, I promise!"
"Great, you take a rest first. I'll gather the men, and you take them to bring the spoils back!" Patting Fang Chang on the shoulder, Shuguang began to call on the other players and issue the mission.
He watched as the dozens of people, pulling carts and carrying various tools, left the sanatorium through the north gate in a grand procession led by Fang Chang, before heading back to the south gate.
At this time, Liszt and his group were still lingering outside the south gate because of what Dawn had said earlier.
Because of the previous two transactions, Lister had developed good confidence in Dawn, so he was willing to wait here for a day.
He was very curious about what kind of "big business" this rather mysterious man, Shuguang, was talking about.
As dawn broke again, Lister's face lit up with anticipation: "My friend, can we now discuss that 'big deal'?"
