101: Chapter 101 The Shameful Fire Wolf

Before her voice had even faded, a very thin, tall figure—looking to be about two meters tall—sprang out from behind Fire Wolf.

"Oh, an Ability User after all." Qi Yin remarked dryly.

That speed-type Ability User, thinking she was scared, was eager to show off and kept clamoring.

"What's the point of talking nonsense with them? If they won't open the door, just smash it open."

Saying this, he grabbed two other shifty-looking guys and charged toward the main gate.

Lu Jinwen was pulling Lei Jun, followed by a group of onlookers who were there to watch the show.

"Sister Jun, tell me, why are these people rushing to their deaths?"

Was living not good enough for them?

Lei Jun tossed a piece of yellow peach into her mouth, her hand not stopping its peeling motion.

"Maybe they're just tired of living."

Of all people to provoke, they just had to provoke Qi Yin. The rock the boss threw earlier was already going easy on them.

Seeing them about to step into her territory, Qi Yin felt a chill in her heart.

"Annoying!"

When she was annoyed, her hands tended to be heavy.

Qi Yin tapped a button on her device.

"Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!"

Several sharp piercing sounds rang out. From several cleverly camouflaged shooting ports on the villa's outer wall, over a dozen poisoned steel crossbow bolts shot out instantly.

The speed was incredibly fast, and the angles were even more vicious.

"Ah!"

"My leg..."

"Save, save me..."

The screams came to an abrupt end.

The three Ability Users charging at the front never imagined the villa would have such traps installed.

Before they could even react, they were riddled with holes by Qi Yin. They stumbled a few steps, collapsed right in front of Fire Wolf, twitched a couple of times, and then stopped moving with foam at their mouths.

The scene fell into dead silence.

The group led by Fire Wolf instantly lost their greed and arrogance, replaced by terror.

They hadn't expected that this seemingly beautiful young girl would be so ruthless, killing three Ability Users without saying a word.

The flesh on Fire Wolf's face twitched as he looked at his subordinates who had died instantly—especially the speed-type Ability User, who was one of his capable lieutenants. The rage and humiliation caused him to completely lose his mind.

He glared viciously at Qi Yin, his eyes bloodshot, and roared: "Damn it, you refuse a toast only to drink a forfeit!"

"I'm going to burn this broken house and everyone in it to ashes, let's see if you come out then."

He thrust his hands forward violently, and scorching flames spewed out, heading straight for Qi Yin's face and the nearby trees.

His subordinates behind him, emboldened by this display of power, began to clamor again.

Qi Yin and Xiao Sinian's eyes turned cold, and they were about to move.

Before the Ice Thorn and lightning in their hands could be released, the sky, which had been snowing, suddenly began to pour with heavy rain.

What was strange was that this rain only appeared where Fire Wolf's flames were.

"Sizzle!"

When the flames met the rain, a large cloud of white smoke erupted instantly, then rapidly shrank until they were completely extinguished.

Fire Wolf was drenched to the bone. The flames that had been raging just moments ago were now reduced to a wisp of black smoke in his palm.

In areas that couldn't be covered, burning dead wood was pulled away to open ground by vines, completely isolated from other flammable materials.

"What the hell! Who is it! Who is working against me!"

Fire Wolf shouted in exasperation.

He tried to summon flames again, but as soon as a wisp condensed, it was extinguished by a basin of water.

Qi Yin seemed to sense something and cast her gaze toward two figures behind a tree not far away.

One of them was Xiao Lang, who had once asked her for help. That mysterious rain must have been her doing.

The other was Yu Wenyu, a Wood-type Ability User she had met once at the entrance of the hillside villa area. Those vines were his weapon.

The two were hiding behind the tree, their white clothes as white as snow; if one didn't look closely, they wouldn't be able to find them at all.

Turning her gaze back to Fire Wolf, Qi Yin's tone was quite indifferent.

"Get out!"

Fire Wolf looked at Qi Yin, who was ruthless and possessed strange methods, and then at the three corpses on the ground and his own essentially useless ability. He finally understood that the hilltop villa was a hard nut to crack.

If he stayed here any longer, dying wasn't out of the question.

"Retreat... we're retreating!"

Fire Wolf gritted his teeth, his voice hoarse and filled with unwillingness, as he ran toward the ladder in a sorry state.

His subordinates, who had been aggressive just a moment ago, could only scramble out of Qi Yin's sight.

With the trouble resolved, Qi Yin put away her Tang sword.

"Come out!"

The two figures behind the tree looked at each other, and after a while, they slowly emerged.

"Miss Qi, sorry to disturb you." Xiao Lang smiled apologetically.

Yu Wenyu remained the same as before, only nodding at Qi Yin and Xiao Sinian without speaking.

There was no expression on Qi Yin's face, as if she were looking at two strangers irrelevant to her.

"You two, were you also eyeing the supplies in my villa?"

If that were really the case, these two would also be trouble, and it would be better to just kill them.

Xiao Lang, given her special profession, didn't miss the murderous intent that flashed in her eyes and waved her hands repeatedly.

"No, Miss Qi, you've misunderstood. Because of your help, my mother is still alive. Seeing Fire Wolf's group come up, I was afraid you weren't prepared and would be bullied, so I followed."

Qi Yin relaxed her hand. So that was it?

She turned to look at Xiao Sinian, who just nodded while sipping his tea.

Xiao Lang didn't seem to be lying, and she wasn't an unreasonable person.

Her gaze shifted to the refined man, Yu Wenyu.

"What about you? What are you doing up the mountain?"

Yu Wenyu adjusted his glasses: "A coincidence. The natural resources on the mountainside have been mostly dug up. Someone set up a ladder, so I wanted to come to the top of the mountain to see if there was anything to eat."

As he spoke, his stomach rumbled in cooperation, making him cover his lower abdomen in embarrassment as he laughed self-deprecatingly.

A physiological reaction couldn't be faked.

However, what Qi Yin found strange was that Fire Wolf's group didn't look like they were starving.

Logically speaking, Yu Wenyu's strength wasn't bad; he could easily take a villa and find some food.

How did he end up like this?

"You guys aren't still living in that cave on the mountainside, are you?" Qi Yin frowned and guessed.

Yu Wenyu scratched his head in embarrassment, "There are more and more zombies at the bottom of the mountain. Our team is full of elderly Old Professors. Counting me, there are only two Ability Users, so it's really hard to move."

"You could learn from Fire Wolf and his group!" Qi Yin said indifferently.

In this world, it had always been the survival of the fittest.

However, Yu Wenyu didn't seem to agree with this approach.

"Forget it. If we live well, wouldn't the family we robbed end up just like we were before?"

Qi Yin looked at his unbearable expression and sneered.

"You actually have quite the bottom line! But, if you can't even fill your stomach, what's the point of keeping that bottom line?"

As she spoke, Qi Yin waved her small hand to shoo them away.

"As long as you don't step near the villa, you're safe. Go look elsewhere!"

Just as she was about to walk back, Lu Yanxiu's loud laughter came from the villa.

"Haha, Uncle Chen, these little vegetable seedlings, they're so tiny, can they really be eaten?"

Qi Yin and Xiao Sinian paused, discovering that several people were gathered around the two pots of soil where Chen Quan had been planting vegetables, discussing something.

Could it be that the seeds Uncle Chen had asked her for had sprouted? Qi Yin wondered.

Chen Quan was lost in thought as he looked at the fingernail-sized vegetable seedlings in front of him.

Heaven knows, he had been planting these things for two months!

It was too difficult.

Qi Yin glanced at Xiao Sinian and couldn't help but laugh: "Uncle Chen, if it really doesn't work, just memorize all the planting books I gave you. If that still doesn't work, let's try again when conditions are better later."

Perhaps the Apocalypse just wasn't suitable for growing vegetables, and she had enough vegetables in her space anyway.

Maybe, in a few years, when the climate and soil conditions were suitable, they could try again, and maybe they would succeed then.

A trace of frustration flashed across Chen Quan's wrinkled face!

At this moment, as if having heard their conversation, Yu Wenyu, who hadn't gone very far yet, suddenly called out.

"Um, are you guys growing vegetables? Perhaps, I can help..."
