278: Neighbors are worried about him

“I'm going on a mission.”

Lu Yu said to Jiang Fei, “The Rescue Team received orders tonight. We are to go with the army to Fengquan City to eliminate Pei Wenlong's base. Captain Lei will be here to pick me up soon.”

Pei Wenlong kidnapped You Yuxi and then reneged on providing supplies, completely crossing Kyoto's bottom line.

If Fengquan City wasn't dealt with, other bases would bully Kyoto in the future.

Cheng Pingwei's move was a warning to others.

Jiang Fei: “Can I go with you?”

Last time I went, there were still many places I hadn't searched.

Lu Yu: “No, this mission only involves members of the Rescue Team and the base's army.”

“Then I'll get you some good things.” Jiang Fei led Lu Yu into the villa.

She took out one bomb, one flashbang, one tear gas grenade, and one smoke grenade from the Supermarket warehouse.

One box each of nutrient solution, external medicine, and the enhanced version of the new special effects medicine.

Plus three 500ml bottles of spring water.

“Take these weapons for self-defense. The medicine was given to me by Chu Xia before, and there are instructions in each box.”

“As for the spring water in the bottles, just drink it like water. It can strengthen your body and eliminate fatigue.”

“Fengquan City is far from Kyoto. A round trip takes about 15 days. Please be careful.”

Listening to Jiang Fei's instructions, Lu Yu's lips unconsciously curled up.

His neighbor was worried about him.

After Jiang Fei finished speaking, Lu Yu responded, “I've remembered everything.”

“Don't worry, I'll be fine.”

“I believe you.” Jiang Fei put the items into his bag:

“Come back safely, and I'll make you a feast.”

“Okay.” Lu Yu took the backpack and was about to leave when Big Yellow suddenly rushed over and hugged his leg.

“Meow, meow, meow!”

Master, take me with you!

The two-legged beast, she's changed!

She doesn't give me crunchy freeze-dried food anymore!

Big Yellow kept meowing, but he forgot that Lu Yu didn't understand cat language.

“What's wrong with it?”

Jiang Fei probably guessed what Big Yellow meant: “It's probably complaining to you that I've cut its food.”

“Not long ago, I took Big Yellow for a check-up, and the doctor said it was overweight and needed to control its diet, so I confiscated its snacks.”

Hearing this, Lu Yu bent down and picked up Big Yellow, weighing it: “It's indeed much fatter than before.”

“Maybe one meal a day won't hurt.”

Big Yellow: “...”

Go away! Hurry up and go!

Big Yellow jumped out of Lu Yu's arms and ran to Jiang Fei's feet, fawning.

The two-legged beast is still better.

At least she feeds it two meals a day!

—

In a flash, three days later.

Pei Wenlong drove a commercial van into Fengquan City, his eyes dull with exhaustion.

After days of sleepless travel, he had finally returned.

The strange stench on his body had mostly dissipated.

But after six or seven days without a bath or washing, and being cooped up in the car, he had developed a new smell of sweat.

He had to take a hot shower as soon as he got home!

Nearing the base's entrance and exit, Pei Wenlong was stopped by a guarding subordinate.

“What are you doing?!”

Rolling down the window, Pei Wenlong poked his head out and cursed, “Are you blind? You don't even recognize my car?”

“Boss!” The subordinate excitedly ran forward to report:

“While you were away, something big happened at our base!”

“Those women locked in the factory as food, for some reason, escaped and even opened the warehouse door, stealing a lot of supplies and weapons.”

“One-third of our brothers were killed by them, and several houses were blown up.”

“We still haven't found anyone...”

“A bunch of useless trash!” Pei Wenlong angrily interrupted the subordinate:

“You can't even guard a few women. What good are you?!”

“Keep searching!”

“If you don't find those missing supplies, I'm not done with you!”

With that, Pei Wenlong started the car and drove into the base, returning to his three-story villa.

He was already in a bad mood because of what the subordinate said, and when he opened the door, he smelled a foul odor.

“Damn it, the house's sewer is broken. Don't these guys know to come fix it?!”

Thinking it was a sewer problem, Pei Wenlong grumbled as he walked into the first-floor bathroom.

But he found the smell wasn't coming from there.

Not only that, his unopened toilet paper, toothpaste, shower gel, and hand soap were all gone!

Pei Wenlong quickly ran out and then noticed that the living room's throw pillows, vases, decorative paintings, rugs, storage boxes, and some other miscellaneous small items were also gone.

Only he had the villa's key.

It was even less likely that the brothers at the base would commit theft.

Who sneaked in and ransacked his house?!!!

Suspecting the person was still hiding in the house, Pei Wenlong immediately pulled out his gun and searched each room.

He eventually arrived at the master bedroom.

Opening the door and entering, a blast of hot air hit him.

The room was empty, but there were two heaters on the floor beside the bed.

“Is this thief sick? After stealing things, they even turned on the heaters, wasting so much of my electricity!”

Pei Wenlong, pained, went to turn off the heaters, when he suddenly smelled a strong, sour odor coming from under the covers.

He pulled back the quilt to look.

Two corpses lay on his bed.

The flesh on their faces and arms had already rotted, and yellow corpse fluid, like pus from an infected wound, seeped out.

“Ugh—!” Pei Wenlong was so disgusted he vomited.

Suddenly, his peripheral vision caught sight of a string of beads on one of the corpses' arms.

That was something he had once bestowed upon Ge Zhicai... And looking at the clothes the corpses wore.

The day before Ge Zhicai and Xu Dafa disappeared, he had seen them, and they were wearing these exact outfits.

These two corpses were Ge Zhicai and Xu Dafa?!

How were they on his bed at home?

Pei Wenlong subconsciously thought Jiang Fei did it, after all, she had hidden corpses in a hotel room before.

He quickly dismissed his own idea.

Jiang Fei had always stayed in Kyoto.

Fengquan City was so far from Kyoto; unless she could teleport, it would be impossible for her to get there in such a short time!

Unable to figure out who did it, Pei Wenlong irritably called his subordinates to clean up and ordered them to investigate the matter.

The villa was uninhabitable, so Pei Wenlong went to another empty house.

The more he thought about it, the angrier he got.

The women he had captured ran away, he lost supplies and weapons, and his house was emptied!

Now he could only place his hopes on his brothers in Kyoto, hoping they could successfully extort supplies from the You Family.

If the plan failed, he would truly be finished!

Pei Wenlong waited anxiously for a week.

He didn't wait for his brothers to return, but he did wait for people from Kyoto.

They drove straight in, opening fire on anyone they saw.

Kyoto's forces drove armored vehicles, and each person was equipped with machine guns, bulletproof vests, and grenades. Not only were they well-equipped, but they also outnumbered them.

Fengquan City was no match for Kyoto at all.

Like fish on a chopping block, they were slaughtered by Kyoto.

Ignoring his self-pity, Pei Wenlong hurriedly packed his luggage.

As he ran out, preparing to drive away alone, an armored vehicle charged towards him.

“Ah!”

Pei Wenlong was violently knocked flying and fell to the ground.
