Chapter 302: Copper City
Everyone, having witnessed Gu Fan’s methods, was now united beyond measure, and Liao Tie had become much more obedient after several of his loyal subordinates died sudden violent deaths.
He held an even more humble attitude toward Xia Yan and the others.
Now he understood that if Gu Fan wanted to kill him, whether in the past or now, it would only take the twitch of a finger.
Especially after seeing Gu Fan this time, his fear deepened; compared to last time when Gu Fan made a move and at least some motion could be seen, now just a single glance could take a life with ease.
The most terrifying thing was that with a mere wave of his hand, Gu Fan could sever and then restore limbs — a method known only from mythological tales, and this was his first time witnessing it.
Even the life-type Evolvers he had encountered before could not reach such a level.
It could only be described as utterly terrifying!
And now, with Gu Fan back to sit in command, Xia Yan and the others no longer needed to worry.
They decided that it was better to act early rather than late, gathering part of their combat power and setting off for Copper City!
Xia Yan told Gu Fan the plan, and seeing he had no objections, she began the execution.
Soon, Xia Yan, the Chi sisters, and Liao Tie — four in total — left Chi City and headed east; the two cities were only seventy to eighty kilometers apart, and with their speed, it would take less than an hour to arrive.
The zombies they met along the way were mostly just lowly level seven or eight, and were easily dealt with.
An hour later, Xia Yan stood on a street in Copper City, and said to those behind her:
“Let’s go, just ahead is the City Lord’s base in Copper City.”
Chi Youyou asked:
“Sis Yan, do we have any strategy?”
Xia Yan gave a cold sneer.
“Strategies are only needed when facing an opponent of equal strength; now that the Boss has returned, what strategy is needed?”
At this, Liao Tie obediently nodded in agreement and said:
“That’s right, I’ll take the lead later, and we’ll fight head-on! As long as we force the Copper City City Lord out, the Boss will surely take him down.”
Chi Youyou shot him a disdainful glance.
“Heh, Brother Tie, you’re quite proactive today? Usually Sis Yan can hardly get you to move!”
Liao Tie’s face went pale, and he glanced around in fear.
He knew Gu Fan must be somewhere nearby, and if Gu Fan heard Chi Youyou’s words, he might end up getting tormented again.
At this moment, Xia Yan cut in.
“Enough, focus on the task at hand; the Boss rarely comes back, so don’t waste time.”
Seeing that Xia Yan didn’t want to argue, Chi Youyou just gave a cold snort.
Liao Tie kept his head down, sweating profusely, not daring to say another word.
They continued forward and soon arrived at a place surrounded by tall walls.
“This used to be Copper City Academy; now it’s their base. The area inside is big enough to support most of their needs for self-sufficiency.”
Chi Manman explained, as she had been here before and knew the way.
At this moment, Chi Youyou looked at Liao Tie and said:
“Go on, Brother Tie?”
Liao Tie showed no displeasure and stepped forward, then in the next instant, threw a heavy punch!
The loud crash alerted the survivors inside, and when they came out, they saw that a massive gap had been blasted into the wall by sheer brute force!
“Who’s courting death!”
Liao Tie gave a cold laugh.
“The survivors’ base from Chi City is here to demand an explanation!”
The one who came out from Copper City was clearly a small leader from management. Hearing Liao Tie declare his affiliation, he immediately sneered.
“Survivors from Chi City? And you dare come knocking? You’re courting death!”
Liao Tie spat viciously, then sneered in contempt.
“I say the ones courting death are you lot! To dare to cruelly kill the envoy from Chi City is to provoke the dignity of our Boss!”
At this moment, Xia Yan and the others entered through the gap.
Her gaze chilled slightly at the people in front of them.
“Call your City Lord out to speak.”
“Heh heh, who’s this little lady? You think you’re worthy of our City Lord coming out to meet you? What? Want to serve in his bed?”
The man mocked with a sneer, not taking them seriously at all.
In his eyes, just these four people coming to cause trouble was suicide.
But in the next instant, Xia Yan flashed past everyone at lightning speed, seizing the insolent man by the throat and lifting him up.
“You—”
Before he could finish his words—
Crack! A crisp snap rang out as Xia Yan, bolstered by spiritual energy, twisted his neck clean off!
The whole thing happened within seconds; the other subordinates at his side didn’t even have time to react before seeing their small leader die on the spot!
“Damn! She killed Fifth Brother!”
“Quickly report to the Boss, someone’s here killing!”
Xia Yan didn’t stop them — this was exactly the effect she wanted.
She casually tossed the corpse aside and stood there coldly, waiting for the others to arrive.
Liao Tie, seeing this from behind, sucked in a cold breath.
This Xia Yan was strong!
At least stronger than him!
He just hadn’t known before why she was always reluctant to make a move — otherwise he wouldn’t have dared act up even with ten times the courage.
The Chi sisters, however, knew the reason — Xia Yan’s cultivation path came from the Boss’s teachings.
She had long abandoned the path of Evolver advancement, and her strength was far more terrifying than theirs.
But ever since the Boss hadn’t visited much this past year, Xia Yan had refrained from acting casually.
Because she lacked spiritual energy.
Now, with the many spirit stones the Boss had given, Xia Yan had no scruples in making a move.
If it had been last month, Xia Yan could have single-handedly killed the Copper City City Lord — but without spirit stone supplies, she didn’t dare act recklessly.
Now, though spirit stones were abundant, the other party had recently comprehended a space-type ability, making him unrivaled in escape.
Even if Xia Yan went all out, she could not keep him, so they needed Gu Fan to act.
The commotion quickly drew other strong figures from within the Copper City base.
A tall, muscular man emerged at the front, his aura completely unrestrained, and the oppressive pressure of a level fifteen Evolver instantly made Liao Tie and the Chi sisters feel immense strain.
Behind him were three level eleven Evolvers, likely the actual managers here.
“Who’s killing people in my Copper City base?”
Xia Yan coldly laughed in reply.
“It’s me. I heard you killed the envoy from Chi City, so I’ve come to take your dog life!”
Before the man could retort, his three subordinates had already burst out laughing.
“Just you lot? Our Boss is a level fifteen dual-ability Evolver, with unfathomable space powers — are you sure you’re not here to die?”
“I think these three women look pretty good; in this apocalypse, to meet such fine goods, we must treat them well.”
“Ahaha, once Big Brother’s done, we can all have a turn.”
Their filthy words instantly enraged Chi Youyou, who stepped forward at once.
“Courting death!”
The next moment, Chi Youyou’s figure shot forward, her fire-type ability unleashing countless flames toward the foul-mouthed men.
“Hahaha, the little lady’s got quite the temper — Big Daddy likes your type, it’ll be a blast to pin you on the bed!”
The man laughed obscenely as his abilities erupted to clash with Chi Youyou.
“All together!”
Chi Manman, worried her sister might be hurt, immediately called for Liao Tie to join in.
And so, aside from the leaders, both sides launched into battle!
