Chapter 576: Peng Yu
Unexpectedly, Luo Feifan, Zhan Lian, An Ran, and Doll were just passing by the open space when they saw a girl, her face filled with anxiety, asking around: "Excuse me, where does An Ran live? Excuse me..."
Someone pointed An Ran out to her, and the girl looked over. Seeing An Ran, her eyes widened, and she pointed at her, saying: "You... your leg isn’t broken. You didn’t jump from the fifth floor to avoid the zombies..."
An Ran’s face was filled with rage. Seeing the puzzled looks from Zhan Lian and Luo Feifan, she wished she could find a hole to crawl into. She could only smile awkwardly and explain, "Ask Fatty about that!!! What do you want from me?"
"Oh, yes, there’s a guy named Zhang Boxun who wants to see you."
Liu Shasha’s eyes were still fixed on An Ran’s legs. Had she been tricked by An Ran? Was Zhang Boxun a con man like An Ran? Instantly, Liu Shasha’s impression of Zhang Boxun and An Ran soured. She gave An Ran a perfunctory smile, determined not to associate with these scammers. After relaying Zhang Boxun’s message, she turned and left.
An Ran didn’t care in the slightest about what Liu Shasha thought of her. Ever since siding with Fatty, she knew her image wasn’t going to be favorable to others anyway. That was fine by her—why stick out? When you drew too much attention, you might get snatched off to a lab for dissection without even knowing it.
She listened as Zhan Lian and Luo Feifan exchanged a few words, then the two of them went off to fetch Zhang Boxun.
An Ran, meanwhile, carried Doll back toward her villa. She hadn’t even reached the door when a commotion broke out in the square.
An Ran, clutching Doll, retreated curiously, only to see a group of men, seemingly quite hostile, harassing several members of Fatty’s group and demanding the leader come out.
"An Ran, An Ran." Liu Zhi trotted over, Liu Shasha leading the way. She quickly walked to An Ran’s side and whispered, "Don’t join the fun with your child. These are people from Peng Yu’s team. Hurry and call your husband and the others over."
"Peng Yu?"
An Ran didn’t move, standing there with her child. She didn’t recognize this Peng Yu. Was he that powerful?
Perhaps the curiosity on her face was enough for Liu Zhi to frown. He then said, "They’re here for wood and water type ability users."
In the Yaoyang Base, any wood and water type ability user who awakened would be captured upon discovery. Whether it was a survivor team or the base itself, the principle of not sparing a single one was adhered to.
Fatty’s recent arrogance, selling firewood and charcoal to anyone who wanted to buy them, and doing so openly, had indeed attracted considerable attention.
In fact, most people thought Peng Yu had already been slow to show up.
In the open space, several tall, burly men in thick down jackets clutched long weapons. As the rule of the underworld dictates, courtesy comes before force, so their weapons were wrapped in newspaper.
The most burly of the group was probably the man named Peng Yu. He wore a large furry hat and clothes that gave him a rather shabby, street-savvy vibe. Before the apocalypse, he had probably been a streetwise thug.
What stood out even more was the way his men arrived. In this freezing weather, instead of cars, they rode flashy motorcycles—the kind whose wheels lit up when they spun. Now several of those flashy bikes were lined up at the villa gate, while the men dragged a few old people and women carrying children in front of Peng Yu.
