Chapter 344 I will return all your building materials

Hearing this from the Ponytail Woman.

Ma Kui was stunned.

The three team members behind him looked at each other, exchanging glances.

Everyone had the same expression.

"What reinforcements?"

Ma Kui frowned and looked back at Liang Jing.

Liang Jing shook his head slightly.

Hao Ling's smile froze for a moment, and she turned her head to look at the Ponytail Woman.

The Ponytail Woman narrowed her eyes: "Stop pretending!"

She paused and lifted her chin toward the alley entrance: "Those ten people have been standing at the alley entrance for at least five minutes, following your footsteps. Do you really think my S-rank Perception Talent is just for show?"

Ma Kui was even more confused.

His teammates behind him were the same.

This old residential area is very remote, and even the Eye of Peace cannot cover it, so naturally, few people come here.

During the latter half of the journey, they didn't even see a shadow of a person, so where would reinforcements come from???

Unless... it was stalking?!

"We have no reinforcements."

Ma Kui said coldly: "What kind of trick are you playing?"

Hao Ling laughed in anger and pointed at Ma Kui: "We are playing tricks? Or are you playing tricks! Do you think that if you don't admit it, you can spare their lives?"

She smiled: "But it's a pity, they won't be able to escape. My people have already flanked them from the side, and soon, you will be reunited!"

Immediately after,

Hao Ling leaned against the door frame, holding that cup of water, and looked to the side: "Little Xu, where are the people?"

The person called Little Xu was that Perception-type Awakened.

Little Xu replied: "They have already arrived. Trust Brother Yang; he alone..."

"Bang!!"

Before he could finish his sentence,

A dull, earth-shaking thud rang out. A figure flew in from the distance like a cannonball, flying over a dozen meters before slamming back-first into the side wall of the courtyard!!!

"Rumble!!!"

Spiderweb-like cracks exploded from the point of impact, and broken bricks and cement debris fell down with a rustle!!!

Everyone was stunned!!!

Ma Kui and the others originally wanted to see which faction was following them...

But they only saw Hao Ling, Little Xu, the Masked Man, and the Windbreaker Man even more shocked!!!

"Brother Yang???"

Hao Ling's eyes widened: "You... didn't you take people to..."

The burly man called "Brother Yang" was leaning face-up against the base of the wall, blood foaming from his mouth. He tried to prop up his body, but his arms had no strength!

His fingers moved, pointing toward the alley entrance, intermittent and slurred: "Ghost... ghost..."

Hao Ling took a step forward and threw the cup of water aside: "Ghost? What ghost? Speak clearly!"

Brother Yang's eyes had already begun to lose focus, his finger still pointing in the direction of the alley entrance, until it finally slid down, and there was no more movement!

"Yang Ming has an S-rank combat Talent. If he really fights, he can contend with SS-rank Awakened. How could it be like this?"

Green energy swirled around the Windbreaker Man, and he seemed somewhat shocked.

The Masked Man also licked his lips: "Even if I used my full strength to swing my chain blade, I couldn't shatter his knuckle bones. But look... he didn't even use his Talent."

On the ground, Yang Ming's corpse lay face-up, his right hand's five fingers slightly spread. The skin at his knuckles was unbroken, without any traces of a fight.

Hao Ling whispered: "In other words, the guy who made the move... before Brother Yang could react, didn't give his Talent time to trigger... and completed a one-hit kill?"

The four people were silent for a while.

In the distance, there was a sound of footsteps.

"Rustle, rustle."

A large group of beautiful women walked out from the alley entrance,

The ones in front had long legs and slim waists, their skin dazzlingly white under their shorts;

In the middle was one with a round face and bright eyes, her cheeks puffed out;

The one at the very back had a figure that was charming from her neckline to her waistline, standing out the most against the backdrop of the young group.

White T-shirts, knitwear, denim shorts, short skirts—these people were dressed like... a group of college students brought out by their counselor from the dormitory to stroll through the night market.

"?"

Ma Kui, Liang Jing, and the others felt very familiar seeing this scene, but for a moment they really couldn't recall it.

The Windbreaker Man and the Masked Man looked at the women, their eyes lighting up, and they were almost drooling.

Too beautiful,

Incompatible with the apocalypse,

And each had their own unique charm.

But their eyes immediately dimmed because they remembered Brother Yang's tragic state just now.

After seeing so many girls, Little Xu felt terrible,

If these girls all joined the organization... a sense of inferiority grew within him.

Hao Ling's expression changed the most, because she recognized these people. Just this morning, she had sold them photos...

"...It's you."

Hao Ling frowned.

In front, the women scattered, revealing the black figure behind them.

Chen Yu slowly walked to the front and smiled slightly: "We meet again."

This sentence seemed to be spoken to both Hao Ling and Ma Kui.

Ma Kui frowned: "...It's you..."

Liang Jing whispered: "The tracking card he gave, is he stalking us again?"

Little Xu narrowed his eyes and activated his Perception again. A blue-gray luster slowly rotated in the depths of his pupils. In his field of vision, the energy fluctuations on Chen Yu were exactly the same as before.

Stable, restrained, clear...

It should clearly be S-rank, right?

He whispered: "S-rank, it really is just S-rank, absolutely no mistake, I have never been wrong..."

The Windbreaker Man was stunned: "S-rank? How could an S-rank kill Yang Ming? And it was without any... wait!"

The Windbreaker Man seemed to have thought of something.

The Masked Man also realized: "Surprise attack? Among these girls, there is a Perception-type who predicted Yang Ming's movements in advance!"

All of a sudden, everything made sense!

Hao Ling also breathed a sigh of relief: "As long as it's not SSS-rank, it's fine..."

She was really panicked just now.

Especially seeing Yang Ming's dead appearance, an ominous premonition rushed straight to her scalp.

But since Little Xu said it was A, then there couldn't be a mistake.

Think about it carefully...

Although Yang Ming was an extremely powerful combat-type among S-ranks, it didn't rule out the possibility of being one-shot by another counter-type S-rank.

Everyone understood this point.

Hao Ling also regained her smile: "Haicheng, Chen Yu, I remember correctly, right?"

Chen Yu nodded: "Of course you do."

Hao Ling tapped a few times in the void.

"Let's do this."

"You really have some skills to be able to follow us here."

"I will return all your building materials."

Chen Yu's void interface flashed twice.

[Ding!]

[Received trade request]

[Vehicle: Jiangzhou_Mingying Convoy (car owner: Hao Ling) initiates a trade with you]

[Trade items: 800 units of Wood, 800 units of Iron Blocks, 10 units of Low-grade Energy Core]

[Requested items: None]

[Message: I am returning the building materials. Let's pretend we never met, okay?]

[Confirm?]

Chen Yu nodded and chose to agree.

Hao Ling breathed a sigh of relief. Although she had an S-rank corrosion Awakened and an SS-rank weapon Awakened on her side, she didn't want to add any more variables.

After all, there was another convoy nearby watching them like a tiger watching its prey.

But under everyone's gaze, Chen Yu remained motionless, still staring at her.
