100: Chapter 100 Trouble Comes Knocking
Hearing this obviously softening tone, Xiao Sinian knew this matter had potential.
The corners of his mouth curled up almost imperceptibly, "Then, beautiful Miss Qi, I'll wait for your good news."
Before going to sleep, Qi Yin went to check on the sisters, Li Shi and Li Yun. They were still in a deep slumber, but the warm Supernatural Ability aura surrounding them was even richer than before.
She estimated that they would be able to wake up in about two or three days.
By then, she would have two more human tranquilizers.
Late at night, Qi Yin curled up in the warm white quilt, taking a deep breath of the fresh lemon scent emanating from it.
"Should I go, or should I not go to Xiyin Base?"
Go or not? It felt like two little people were fighting inside her heart.
Go? Then she would have to leave this nest she had finally gotten used to living in. Not go? Xiao Sinian's materials wouldn't be able to arrive, and too many survivors would be left with nowhere to go.
In her mind, Xiao Sinian's sharp-featured face appeared once again.
Qi Yin shook her head violently. How about she just go? Consider it for the sake of the survivors?
"Stop thinking about it, sleep, just sleep, talk about it tomorrow."
Patting the quilt, she fell asleep in three seconds.
The next morning, Qi Yin and Xiao Sinian had just finished a satisfying, life-and-death struggle.
She gulped down a bottle of water and glanced at Xiao Sinian, who didn't even look flushed or out of breath.
"We fought for so long, and you aren't even panting. Your physical fitness is truly impeccable."
You have to know, without using Supernatural Ability, even if Chen Quan and the other seven combined, they couldn't beat her now.
Yet, she could only fight to a draw with Xiao Sinian.
Xiao Sinian's long-fingered hand picked up a light blue towel, naturally wiping the sweat from her, his throat bobbing involuntarily.
"To be able to fight me to a draw, you're not bad yourself."
The two of them were busy flattering each other and only noticed Jiang Yao at the doorway after a long while.
"What are you standing there for?" Qi Yin asked.
Xiao Sinian consciously stepped aside.
"I was afraid of disturbing you two, wasn't I?" Jiang Yao rubbed his head and muttered softly.
Qi Yin didn't hear clearly: "What did you say?"
Jiang Yao hurriedly waved his hands to brush it off, "Nothing, nothing. Sister Yin, the situation at the hillside villas seems a bit bad."
Qi Yin frowned slightly, and her movements of drinking water slowed down a bit.
"The hillside villas? What happened?"
Jiang Yao projected the footage captured by the drone onto the big screen.
"In the hillside villa area, except for Li Shi and Li Yun's Villa No. 18 and that Xiao Lang's Villa No. 19, all the others have been occupied by survivor gangs that came up the mountain later. A huge crowd of people, just swarming everywhere."
Qi Yin frowned. This Xiao Lang was an active-duty special forces soldier, so it was understandable that he hadn't suffered any losses yet, but Li Shi and Li Yun's parents were just ordinary people; how were they okay too?
Xiao Sinian seemed to see her confusion and rewound the video playing on the screen.
"If I'm not mistaken, Xiao Lang has awakened a Water Element Ability, and his Water Element Ability might have mutated for some reason. Like Qian Hao, it has offensive capabilities."
In the footage, several Ability Users were leading survivors to surround the entrance of Villa No. 18, scaring Boss Li and his wife so much they didn't dare open the door. It was only after Xiao Lang from next door activated his ability that he barely managed to scare that group of survivors away.
Qi Yin remained silent, only giving him a faint glance.
Could this man read her mind?
Otherwise, why could he know exactly what she was thinking every time?
"Yeah, that's exactly it." Jiang Yao nodded.
"Speaking of which, this kid Xiao Lang is really lucky. When he came a couple of days ago, I didn't sense any Supernatural Ability from him. Truly, one must look at him with new eyes after three days of separation."
Jiang Yao was right. Even Qi Yin felt it was incredible. Judging from the video, Xiao Lang's Supernatural Ability would reach Second-level before long.
He was a rare talent.
Moreover, Xiao Lang and Boss Li's couple were smart enough. The Li family had plenty of food reserves, Jiang Yao had the Water Element Ability, and with the two families sticking together, those Ability Users who wanted to rob them by force wouldn't be able to take advantage, and they might even suffer losses.
However, with more survivors, a series of problems would arise.
For example, how long could the supplies they plundered from the hillside villa area last?
Presumably, in a few days, these people would set their sights on her hilltop villa.
Sure enough, as Qi Yin turned the mouse, an infuriating scene appeared before her eyes.
The survivors on the hillside didn't know where they got several very long ladders, and they had forced a temporary path along the position that had been blown up previously, and were currently climbing up.
Xiao Sinian's voice rang in her ear.
"We've encountered this leader before. He seems to be called Fire Wolf. Just like his name, he is a Fire Element Ability User, not yet Second-level, but close. His reputation is quite high among that group, and his subordinates are all desperate thugs."
Qi Yin remained silent and walked to a corner of the second-floor terrace.
Looking down, sure enough, dozens of figures were climbing up along the ladders.
The one leading them had faint firelight flickering from his palms; it should be the Fire Wolf that Xiao Sinian mentioned.
Suddenly, a surge of anger flared up in Qi Yin.
Trouble had come knocking!
Heh, she was just feeling annoyed, and this group of people rushed over to court disaster.
"Let me have a go at you all."
Qi Yin's voice turned cold. Daring to run wild on her territory, very well, you have successfully kicked an iron plate.
She stormed downstairs, while Xiao Sinian remained silent, following quietly behind.
Jiang Yao and the others who were drinking hot coffee exchanged glances, shook their heads, and observed a moment of silence for those people.
Provoking these two devils, it was their misfortune.
Soon, that group of people climbed onto the hilltop platform, cursing and panting heavily.
Two exceptionally luxurious and sturdy hilltop villas appeared before Fire Wolf's eyes.
"Damn, Boss, these two villas look like they belong to rich people. The supplies will definitely be enough for us to live it up for a while." The little yellow-haired guy was so excited he almost jumped up.
The others joined in the clamor; they all looked as if they were malnourished.
Fire Wolf spat, "Bah, they'd better be sensible and hand over the stuff themselves, so I don't have to do it myself."
Walking forward with great momentum, two figures appeared before them.
These two people were Qi Yin and Xiao Sinian, who had moved chairs and were sitting at the door waiting for them, looking composed.
Seeing them, the group was not afraid but instead became even more excited, as if they had been injected with chicken blood.
Fire Wolf had a face full of flabby flesh. He pushed aside the people blocking his way, walked forward, looked at the villa, automatically ignored Xiao Sinian, and landed his gaze on Qi Yin, who was in front of him.
He grinned, revealing his yellowish teeth.
"Yo, didn't expect such a pretty little lady hidden on the mountaintop. If you're sensible, open the door, hand over all the food and weapons to me, and follow me, Brother Fire Wolf, from now on, I guarantee you'll eat and drink well."
As soon as he finished speaking, something flew out and shot straight at Fire Wolf's forehead.
"F*ck, what the hell is that?" Fire Wolf clutched his head in pain.
The little yellow-haired guy stammered, "B...Boss, your forehead, it's swollen."
Fire Wolf hurriedly touched it with his hand, and sure enough, a big bump had risen in the center of his forehead.
Xiao Sinian, behind Qi Yin, took a sip of tea, the coldness in his eyes dissipating slightly.
Qi Yin toyed with the Tang sword in her hand and coldly warned, "I'll count to three. Get lost back to where you came from."
