Chapter 100

Cheng Yang looked at Liu Xiyue, then turned to look at the middle-aged woman, and finally sighed, saying, "Alright, I'll go once. ... Find someone who is fast to lead me."

The middle-aged man leading the group immediately said, "I'll go. My boots increase my speed by one point, making me twice as fast as others."

Cheng Yang nodded, then looked at Liu Xiyue and said, "You should come with me."

"But my speed..." Liu Xiyue wanted to go, but she knew her speed was no match for these people. If Cheng Yang was in a hurry, wouldn't she just slow him down?

"I'll carry you," Cheng Yang said decisively. "It's not safe for you to stay here."

Liu Xiyue was originally going to refuse, but after hearing Cheng Yang's words, she nodded lightly in agreement.

Cheng Yang squatted down, and Liu Xiyue hesitated for a moment before lying on his back. The darkness was the best cover, and no one noticed the blush on her face.

In fact, Cheng Yang's heart was also filled with ripples. Although he had lived two lives, this was the first time he had been so close to a girl, especially a beauty like Liu Xiyue. After all, he was just a ten-year-old boy, and the attraction between the sexes was a natural human emotion.

However, he was a person who had experienced great hardships, and he quickly suppressed the flutter in his heart, then quickly followed the middle-aged man leading the way.

As they started to move, Liu Xiyue began to bounce on his back, and he could even feel the astonishing elasticity behind him. The flutter in his heart became even stronger.

"Damn! Am I just making things harder for myself?" Cheng Yang thought with a bitter smile, but he had to admit that subconsciously, he found it enjoyable. Cheng Yang had thought about finding a woman, both in his previous life and this one.

But before the apocalypse, he was just an ordinary student, and after the apocalypse, his desire was suppressed by reason. He knew that a grand love story in the apocalypse would be a tragedy, as no one knew how long they would live, or how long their partner would live.

Even now, Cheng Yang couldn't guarantee that he would live for more than a year, as he didn't know if there would be other variables in this world, and some things were unpredictable. Therefore, reason told him that the apocalypse was no longer suitable for love. Perhaps one day in the future, he could find one or even several women to have many children, to ensure he wouldn't die without an heir.

But these things were far away. Cheng Yang felt that he should cherish his hard-earned year of rebirth and make himself stronger, so he could live a more stable and longer life.

"Hey, what's your name?" Cheng Yang had to talk to distract himself.

There were only three people here, and the middle-aged man naturally knew Cheng Yang was asking him. He immediately answered, "I'm Xiao Zheng, a combatant in Xiangcheng City's main city. The people earlier were all part of our mercenary team, which originally had fifty-six members, but eleven of them were killed in that battle."

Xiao Zheng was a very talkative person. Cheng Yang only asked for his name, but he spilled out a lot of information. However, at the end, he suddenly became a bit sad.

"Are there many mercenary teams like yours in Xiangcheng City's main city?" Cheng Yang asked, knowing the answer.

Xiao Zheng's heart stirred. He heard the hidden meaning in Cheng Yang's words and said, "Not many, but not few either. There are about twenty teams, with a total of nearly two thousand people. Our team is considered small. ... Sir, are you not a combatant in Xiangcheng City's main city?"

Cheng Yang wasn't curious about Xiao Zheng's question and said calmly, "You can say that."

Xiao Zheng heard that Cheng Yang didn't want to talk more about this topic and immediately said, "Actually, the strongest in Xiangcheng City's main city are not the mercenaries, but the military and the four civilian groups. The military has reached ten thousand people, all combatants, and each civilian group has over two thousand combatants. Compared to these forces, we mercenaries are like ants."

Cheng Yang asked casually, "Why don't you join the military or the civilian groups?"

Xiao Zheng said, "The rules in the military and civilian groups are very strict, leaving no room for personal freedom. So many people don't want to join. However, in the apocalypse, individuals have no future, so people with common goals come together to form mercenary teams. Of course, there are also bad apples in the mercenary teams, like the scar-faced man you killed. They are also a mercenary team in Xiangcheng City's main city, but they set up a base outside and did despicable things."

As Cheng Yang and Xiao Zheng talked, Liu Xiyue learned a lot about the current situation in Xiangcheng City's main city. As for Cheng Yang, he already knew most of it, but he continued talking to distract himself. This also indirectly confirmed many things for him, which was a small gain.

A few minutes later, they arrived at a ruin. Xiao Zheng pointed to a cave a few meters ahead and said, "Sir, that's the basement we mentioned."

Just as Xiao Zheng was speaking, a figure rushed over from a distance. But when the person saw Cheng Yang standing at the entrance, his face changed dramatically.

This person was also one of the scar-faced man's subordinates, who had escaped in the chaos and survived. But he didn't expect to run into Cheng Yang again.

For such a persistent person, Cheng Yang didn't waste words and directly launched an ice ball, ending the person's life.

Seeing Cheng Yang kill so cleanly, Liu Xiyue's eyes flashed with unease. After all, it was a life. But looking at the back of Cheng Yang's head, she didn't say anything.

"Let's go in!" Cheng Yang said calmly, showing no signs of having just killed someone.

Xiao Zheng was taken aback for a moment and then said, "Alright, let's go in."

Xiao Zheng took the lead and entered the cave, and Cheng Yang put Liu Xiyue down and followed closely behind.

"Scum!" Xiao Zheng shouted angrily as he entered, then said, "Sir, please... don't let your companion come in, it's not suitable inside."

Although Xiao Zheng didn't say more, Cheng Yang could imagine the scene. He immediately turned to look at Liu Xiyue.

Liu Xiyue looked at Cheng Yang and said stubbornly, "I want to go in."

After a moment of hesitation, Cheng Yang nodded and turned to enter, followed closely by Liu Xiyue.

"Ahh..." Liu Xiyue couldn't help but scream when she saw the scene. To her, it was too shocking. If Cheng Yang's killing of those people earlier seemed cruel, now she felt that he had been too lenient.

What was the scene? Dozens of naked women were in the basement, some tied up, some lying on the ground, and some men were continuously abusing them. Without exception, all the women had vacant eyes and were covered in bruises.

The men, who were in the midst of their excitement, didn't notice the arrival of Cheng Yang and the others. As for the women, even if they noticed, they didn't react at all.

Suddenly, one of the men collapsed and didn't move.

The man next to him laughed, "Old Huang, did you get too excited?"

After laughing, he realized something was wrong. No matter how excited someone was, they shouldn't die like this. Was it a sudden death? The man was startled and immediately jumped off the woman, crouching down to check Old Huang's nose.

"Dead?" The man couldn't help but exclaim, his voice filled with fear.

The man looked around in panic, guessing that a powerful mutated beast might have entered. But he didn't see any mutated beasts, only the figures of Cheng Yang and the others. He didn't think they were there to watch.

"Stop, there's an enemy!" The man shouted, finally waking the other ten or so people from their excitement. They gathered together in a panic, not even bothering to put on clothes.

Cheng Yang knew that the man who died wasn't because of sudden death, but because he had provoked Liu Xiyue's anger, making him the first human to die under her Holy Word skill.

"Don't act yet, leave it to me," Cheng Yang said in a low voice.

Liu Xiyue remembered what Cheng Yang had said earlier, that she couldn't use her Holy Word skill in front of others. Although the hatred in her eyes hadn't subsided, she nodded obediently and turned away. The sight of those people was an insult to her.

"Kill them!" Cheng Yang sighed, making the final judgment on their fate.

An ice spike shot out, instantly covering the group of men. After the ice spikes fell, only four of the ten or so men were still standing, but they were completely shocked.

Not only them, but Xiao Zheng was also shocked. He had thought Cheng Yang was very powerful, capable of instantly killing low-level combatants. But now, Cheng Yang was even more powerful, with a group attack skill that could instantly kill over ten combatants. How powerful was that?

Even with the nearly twenty thousand combatants in Xiangcheng City's main city, they would probably just be cannon fodder in front of someone like Cheng Yang. Cheng Yang's defensive ability was also evident; with only six to seven points of attack, they couldn't break through his defense.

Actually, Cheng Yang hadn't planned to use the ice spike skill, especially in front of Xiao Zheng, a combatant from the main city. In a way, it was his trump card, and the shock effect of suddenly using it was much stronger than if the other party knew in advance. But now, to save the people, Cheng Yang had to eliminate those scoundrels as quickly as possible.
