Chapter 227: Chapter 224: How Dare They Blow Up Her RV

The two were badly beaten, but neither revealed where the others had gone.

They knew that if they spoke, everyone in the factory district would die.

How much had they suffered over the past few months, how many dangers had they faced, only to finally find a place that treated them like human beings?

They couldn’t let a place like this be destroyed because of them.

”Let’s see how long you can act tough,” said the leader, Secretary Qi.

His mission this time was to seize all the supplies in the factory district.

They had roughly estimated the factory district’s income.

The profits from trading Crystal Cores were far greater than what they could get from raiding, and the goods were all valuable and scarce.

Raiding them just once would be enough to keep the Migratory Clan fed and clothed for months.

They had failed yesterday; they couldn’t afford to make another mistake today.

He simply didn’t believe these two weren’t afraid of death.

In the shelter, Brother Xiao watched the monitor, his fists clenched in anger, but he was powerless to do anything.

If he went out, the shelter would be exposed, and even more people would die.

Secretary Qi hauled the woman up and gripped her neck with one hand. ”Speak! Where is everyone hidden? Or I’ll kill her right now!”

’So you value loyalty, do you?’

’I’ll threaten the woman’s life and see how loyal he is then.’

Sure enough, the young man, Xiao Lu, started to panic.

Her face flushed from the pressure, the woman still shook her head resolutely.

Xiao Lu’s eyes went red. ”You son of a bitch, if you have the guts, kill me instead!”

He struggled furiously, but was held down.

He didn’t care about some grand principle; all he knew was that he had found a home.

It was a warm home where everyone cared for each other like family.

”Kill you?” Secretary Qi’s expression turned vicious as he tightened his grip, choking the woman to the point of suffocation. ”If you don’t talk, you’ll just have to watch her die!”

”Who said he can only watch her die?” A woman’s voice suddenly called out from outside the factory district.

Secretary Qi and his men all whipped around to look.

A figure emerged from the darkness, approaching with a leisurely stride.

Clad in a long black down jacket that couldn’t hide her slender figure, she stepped into the light.

And behind her, a tiger standing a meter and a half tall followed closely, padding silently.

Secretary Qi was speechless. He panicked.

The woman he was holding dropped to the ground.

Meanwhile, in the shelter, upon seeing Chen Xing, Brother Xiao finally let out a long sigh of relief. ”I can finally rest easy!”

That was how much faith he had in Chen Xing.

Secretary Qi pointed at Chen Xing, stammering, ”You... you...”

’Isn’t this the woman who destroyed their stronghold?’

He’d been brutally beaten by his boss over it and hadn’t been able to get out of bed for days.

’To think she’d dare to just walk right up to them!’

’So what if she has a tiger?’

’Our superpowers are no longer at the basic level they once were.’

”You’ve got some nerve, daring to deliver yourself to our doorstep,” Secretary Qi said, not rushing to attack.

’The boss said to capture this woman alive if possible.’

Chen Xing walked through the main gate. Under the watchful eyes of the Migratory Clan’s grunts, she coolly approached Secretary Qi. ”You were lucky last time. You plan on leaving your life here this time, don’t you?”

’Last night, when this bunch couldn’t find anyone, they destroyed several parts of the factory district.’

’I’ll have to settle that score with them.’

”You know perfectly well this place is under the protection of the Song Family Army, yet you still dare to raid it. That’s picking a fight with the Song Family Army. And let me tell you, on my way here, Song Yiguo himself told me that from now on, any member of the Migratory Clan who shows their face is to be killed on sight!” Chen Xing was, of course, making it all up.

’After all, the Song Family Army’s name was quite useful.’

’Once word gets out, no one will dare to mess with the factory district again.’

Secretary Qi was speechless.

He hadn’t really believed the Song Family Army would bother with the factory district.

Now, he was starting to believe it.

However, their leader had told them not to worry too much about the Song Family Army.

The factory district was just a fox posturing with a tiger’s authority!

”Like Song Yiguo has time for this bullshit?”

”He does! Song Yiguo sent me here to wipe out your Migratory Clan!” With that, Chen Xing thrust out her hand.

Arcs of electricity shot from her palm, blasting everything around her.

Of course, the first to be hit was Secretary Qi, who was standing closest.

Meng Hu instantly pounced forward as well.

At the same time, Captain Lu and his men charged in from the perimeter.

With no suspense, the Migratory Clan was defeated.

A few of them were deliberately allowed to escape.

They were meant to go out and spread the word: the factory district was not to be trifled with.

Chen Xing was surprised; she hadn’t realized Brother Xiao was such a good judge of character. To be beaten so badly and still not reveal the shelter’s entrance...

Brother Xiao only emerged from the shelter after all the enemies were wiped out. He excitedly gripped Chen Xing’s hand. ”It’s been too long!”

He was responsible for the factory district; he couldn’t act on impulse and endanger everyone.

Many of Chen Xing’s old friends in the factory district came over to hug her enthusiastically.

Chen Xing: ”...” ’Fine, fine.’

’She really couldn’t stand this sort of thing.’

It was getting late, so after discussing how to strengthen their defenses, Chen Xing left.

No. 00002 and No. 00003 were still in the RV outside.

She didn’t plan on letting the two of them have any contact with the factory district.

It wasn’t that she didn’t trust them; she was just worried that if the Research Institute ever managed to control them, they could pose a threat to the factory district.

When Chen Xing came out, the two were still in the travel trailer, worried about her.

In the truck towing the trailer, there was a single driver assigned by Captain Lu, who was also tasked with protecting the two.

After following Chen Xing’s lead and driving to a residential area a few kilometers away, Captain Lu’s man departed.

After parking the RV, Chen Xing told the two inside the travel trailer to get some sleep, then drove away in the truck.

She didn’t go far. Once she was out of sight, she stored both the airplane and the truck in her dimensional space.

Just as she was about to head back, Meng Hu, who was by the RV, sent out a warning signal.

Immediately after, she saw a streak of fire fly toward the RV, followed by the sound of an explosion.

Chen Xing felt a pang of agony.

’Fuck!’

’How dare they blow up my RV!’

She whipped a rocket launcher out of her space and fired a round toward the spot where the flash of fire had come from.

Fearing one wouldn’t be enough, she fired several more in the same direction.

Then she charged in that direction herself.

’If the RV was already destroyed, there was no point in going back to it.’

’But Meng Hu hadn’t sent another signal, which meant the RV was probably fine.’

’Catch them first!’

Chen Xing sprinted over at top speed, the rocket launcher still slung over her back.

The ground was littered with bodies. There were no survivors, and even their heavy weapons had been destroyed.

It was a good thing she had attacked first. Otherwise, judging by the size of their heavy weaponry, they could have easily destroyed her RV.

Just then, several more vehicles appeared in the distance, speeding in her direction.

Chen Xing raised the rocket launcher and fired.

With the sound of an explosion, the lead vehicle was blasted into the air, where it spun twice before crashing to the ground and shattering into pieces.

The vehicles behind it, thinking they had driven into an ambush, slammed on their brakes, turned around, and fled.

’The Migratory Clan...’

Chen Xing noticed the unique symbol of the Migratory Clan on the hoods of the vehicles.

The vehicles from the factory district attack earlier had the same mark.

’Very good. Migratory Clan... you have successfully captured my attention.’
