Chapter 21: Chapter 21 Poisonous SchemeWang Shan, Wu Yue. These are the other two combatants of the Ninth Squad. Although their strength is not comparable to Zhang Wu and Li Mao, in the situation where these two core combatants are injured, Wang Shan and Wu Yue have become essential fighting forces of the Ninth Squad. But now, just as the Ninth Squad is preparing to head into the wilderness on the eve of the hunt. These two have been detained just like this? "What's the reason?" Even though Su Yu had already vaguely guessed the mastermind behind this, he couldn't help but want to ask for confirmation. Yang Lie gritted his teeth and said nothing. Beside him, Li Mao slammed his fist onto the table heavily, with unconcealed anger and coldness in his eyes. "The management said it was for fighting, but damn it, Brother Wang only has his wife and child at home, one is frail and sickly, and the other is only six or seven years old this year!" "As for Brother Wu, there's no need to say more, he's got only his nearly blind mother at home!" "How could they sit still when they're being bullied?" Hearing Li Mao's words. Su Yu also understood the cause of the incident. The Sanctuary rarely accepts refugees from outside, but it is not a closed settlement. From time to time, there will be a trading market specifically opened for residents of the Sanctuary to trade goods with the outside world. Wang Shan, Wu Yue, and other hunting team members with families often use this opportunity to trade the valuable goods their family breadwinners previously acquired but cannot use to supplement their household income. But this time, at the trading market, the goods prepared by the Ninth Squad's families not only went unnoticed by the Sanctuary's own residents. Even if there were refugees from outside who didn't know the situation and wanted to buy them, they would be stopped by others. And just yesterday, a stubborn outsider merchant wanted to take advantage and buy the goods from the Ninth Squad's families that were forced to be sold at lower prices. As a result, he was beaten up by those obstructing Sanctuary residents. Even the families of Wang Shan and Wu Yue, who said a few words for the traveling merchant nearby, were affected! How could Wang Shan and Wu Yue bear that? "What about those Sanctuary members who acted?" "They're equally miserable, if not worse than Brother Wang and Brother Wu; Brother Wang and Brother Wu are sentenced to two months of solitary confinement, while those members are detained for six months. But as soon as they stepped into confinement, Li Yao went to the management office and used contribution points to bail them out." Li Mao said through gritted teeth. Su Yu also remained silent. "The Night Slayer Team is really ruthless!" The Ninth Squad had only a few combatants to begin with. Now, after such a commotion, there are only four combatants left, including Yang Lie. Even if Su Yu is added, a hunting squad of five combatants, how much prey can they hunt? Let alone seeking revenge. There's no certainty even if they could meet the hunting target for next month, or gather enough contribution points to bail out Wang Shan and Wu Yue! "Brother Su, maybe you should go back first..." Beside him, the always silent Yang Lie looked up at Su Yu and said softly. But before he finished his words, Su Yu interrupted him. "Uncle Yang, the Night Slayer Team can use such methods, do you still think it'll be useful if I go back now?" Listening to Su Yu's words. Yang Lie also let out a bitter smile, feeling utterly desolate in his heart. But Su Yu remained calm. He looked around at the people present and said word by word, "I don't know what everyone is thinking." "But by now, we have no retreat; there are but two paths to take. One is to kneel and be tortured to death by the Night Slayer Team. I've heard from Uncle Yang, over the past years, those who offended the Night Slayer Team, ten out of ten ended up like that." "The other is to stand, even if we die, at least we fought till the end." Listening to Su Yu's calm yet resolute words. In the small silent room, one member of the Ninth Squad after another, after a brief silence, stood up silently. Even Zhang Wu and Li Mao stood up, gritting their teeth. And Yang Lie also let out a bitter smile, rubbing his face hard with both hands, heavily exhaling a breath of foul air, "Really, I didn't expect to be taught a lesson by a youngster in the end!" Yang Lie said. But on his face, there bloomed a bright yet resolute smile, slapping Su Yu hard on the shoulder, laughing heartily, "Kid said it well! There's death anyway; before that, we at least have to stand tall!" ... "Captain, I'm sorry..." Management, Detention Center. Wang Shan and Wu Yue, faces marked with bruises, eyes full of deep regret. Yang Lie patted them on the shoulder, "Why apologize? It's not your fault! Hang in there inside, and if you're bored, pray for us. Maybe this time, with your prayers, we'll be lucky and manage to gather enough contribution points during one hunt for your bail!" Listening to Yang Lie's artificially cheerful comforting words. The eyes of Wang Shan and Wu Yue were slightly red, but they also knew now wasn't the time for pretensions, forcing a nod with tears held back, watching Yang Lie and the others walk towards the Sanctuary's exit. "The Ninth Squad really is stubborn. At this point, they're still going out to hunt?" Sanctuary exit, numerous hunting team members were gathering there at the moment. Seeing Yang Lie and the others walking out, their expressions were quite peculiar. The Ninth Squad's recent ordeals were well known to them, and while they sympathized with Yang Lie and the others, they weren't optimistic about their outcome. And yesterday's brawl only confirmed their thoughts. Yet unexpectedly, with only four combatants left, the Ninth Squad still dared to head into the wilderness? "Wait..." Just then, a hunting team member froze, noticing a young man added to the end of Yang Lie's group, eyes showing a different gleam. "Is this the fifth combatant?" "At this time, is there even a newcomer joining the Ninth Squad?" Looking at the sniper rifle slung on the young man's back. The onlookers were somewhat taken aback. But just then, a voice full of unapologetic sarcasm came from afar. "Tsk tsk tsk, Yang Lie, you guys really have no fear of death! Down to this few misfits, and you still dare to go out?" "Or is it that with just one repair worker added, you've gotten so arrogant you're disoriented?" A fierce and burly man with a black bat team emblem of the Night Slayer Team hanging on his chest walked over, looking at Yang Lie with eyes full of mockery! "Mad Wolf Lei Wu..." Seeing the burly man. seaʀᴄh thё Novelƒire(.)ne*t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. The other hunting team members present showed obvious signs of fear. And Yang Lie, his eyes went cold. This burly man nicknamed "Mad Wolf" had formidable strength, already reaching the level of a two-star Extraordinary Physical Body Transcendent. During wilderness hunts, there were often rumors of him using his strength and the backing of the Night Slayer Team to rob other hunting teams of their prey. The truth of the rumors was unknown, as no hunting team members dared to stand up and confirm the matter. But this didn't mean Yang Lie hadn't had conflicts with him. In fact, it was just yesterday that this Mad Wolf Lei Wu led a team to the management office to pay the bail for those Sanctuary members who brawled with Wang Shan and Wu Yue!
