Chapter 891: Tang Xue Arrives
Bam!
Yuan Yi's side face was hit for the third time.
"Yuan Yi! Stop! We lost."
Zhang Tingen shouted. At the moment Lu Hao caught his punch without even turning his head, he already realized the gap between the two.
It's not just a difference in level.
Yet Yuan Yi kept getting up, repeatedly throwing himself at Lu Hao...
"Why is this kid still going on? Didn't they say it was a friendly fight? Admit defeat and it's over."
"Yeah, even his teammates know when to surrender. What is he insisting on?"
"Tsk tsk, still not giving up."
Crack~
With a scream of pain, Lu Hao directly dislocated one of Yuan Yi's shoulders, and the pain finally made Yuan Yi lie down on the ground.
"Hiss~ Is Lu Hao angry? Why hit so hard?"
"No way, didn't you see him keep charging at Lu Hao? Should he wait to be bitten?"
"Captain Lu, show mercy!"
Zhang Tingen shouted as he stood in front of Yuan Yi.
"I did."
Lu Hao replied seriously.
Everyone around could see it. If Lu Hao wanted to, he wouldn't be playing such a simple attack game with someone who couldn't even stand properly.
"...Thank you. We from Extreme Flame lost and will fulfill the agreed requirements."
Zhang Tingen helped up the badly beaten Yuan Yi and said.
"Hmm, take him to the hospital for treatment first. Come find me when he's better."
Lu Hao nodded and said.
"Captain, captain, I haven't conceded yet."
As the crowd gradually dispersed, even after turning around, Lu Hao could still hear the defiant voice of the young man behind him, though his teammates beside him kept chastising him, he didn't seem to realize his mistake.
"As expected."
Kou Ning jumped down from the windowsill, planning to go downstairs and get another meat leg to chew.
"Brother-in-law, why did you let them go?"
Lin Xiuyuan came running downstairs while asking, he had just heard something about a bet.
"They'll come back."
Lu Hao smiled.
"So, what do you plan to make them pay? Crystal cores?"
Su Jin also came down from the third floor. She had been watching the competition from the window while coaxing Xiao Lu Xi, now both little guys were taking an afternoon nap.
Lu Hao shook his head and said, "Just let them pay with their time."
...
After staying at the S City base for half a month, Qiao and David's group from Y Country were finally going to return.
Although Qiao couldn't guarantee that every survivor in Y Country would have a set of S City base's battle clothes, this large-scale purchase could at least improve the safety of some Y Country citizens.
Su Jin and her family especially went to the city gate to see them off.
Qiao looked surprised at the several large boxes Su Jin loaded onto the car, not knowing what was inside.
"The journey will be hard. Take these to eat on the road, most of it we made ourselves."
Su Jin smiled.
"Ah Su Jin, you're all so kind. Here we've felt the friendliness of the Huaxia people more than once."
Avril said, because of their skin color, people could easily see they were not Huaxia people, but no one here looked at them with prejudice. Despite the material shortages during the apocalypse, they had worried about being rejected here, but it seemed their concerns were unnecessary.
Su Jin even sent them so much food.
"Safe journey, you're welcome to come back next time."
Lin Xiuyuan said in Y Country's language.
"Thank you all."
David waved and started the car.
After sending Qiao and the others off, Su Jin and her folks also intended to head back, just then a somewhat familiar voice called out to her.
"Captain Su."
Tang Xue jumped out of the car, her all-dark tight outfit making her look more agile.
"Miss Tang, when did you arrive?"
Su Jin was slightly surprised. What were Tang Xue and her group doing here, could it be?
"Haha, as you can see, we just arrived at the S City base."
Tang Xue seemed to be in a great mood, no longer the Tang Xue who used to frown all the time.
And Lu Hao noticed that Tang Xue seemed to have brought many people with her this time, with more than a dozen identical cars following behind her.
Including Chang Xuan and the group from last time with Mu Deyun, all came down and greeted Su Jin's group.
"Su Jin, you guys do your thing first. This time we've come specifically to find your Heart Talk Team. After settling everyone today, I'll come find you."
Tang Xue said. She knew it wasn't the time to talk since she brought such a big group, and everyone had been on the road for days. It was good to rest and heal at S City base first.
"Okay, I'll be waiting for you."
Su Jin replied.
It has to be said that Tang Xue's arrival was very timely, as they were planning to go to F City base soon.
"So many people came this time, it doesn't look simple."
Nie Qing said, noting there seemed to be about a hundred people.
"And they said they came specifically for the Heart Talk Team."
Lu Guanhai speculated, could it be they had another big task?
"I guess it's about the Y Autonomous Region."
Su Jin said, between them and Tang Xue, the only connection was what Tang Xue and Chang Xuan had mentioned before about M Peak in Y Autonomous Region at Heart Talk Store.
"Is someone finally going to join us in clearing zombies over there?"
Lin Xiuyuan was a bit excited. They planned to visit Y Autonomous Region eventually. With so many cities and regions, and mostly barren lands, he had worried about how long it would take them.
"Don't worry, it shouldn't be just us next time."
Lu Hao smiled.
"Yes, right, Kou Ning insists on coming too."
Su Jin recalled they originally planned to take Guo Yang and others to Y Autonomous Region. They could also let Yin Chengtian and Shi Jin meet Guan Shouzhong along the way in H Province.
But Kou Ning said he could no longer tolerate reheated food and insisted on tagging along with the Heart Talk Team, as long as they provided his meals.
...
In the evening, when there was a knock on the villa door, and after Mao Qiqi told everyone outside were 12 Special Ability Users, Lu Hao got up and opened the door, only to see Zhang Tingen outside, with Yuan Yi, still covered in bruises.
"Captain Lu, we're here to fulfill the bet."
Zhang Tingen said.
"Come in."
Lu Hao smiled.
The people outside were a bit surprised, should they be here to accept punishment today? Previously, they always imagined Heart Talk Team members to be lofty, but not only did the legendary Lu Hao seem to lack arrogance, but he also invited them inside?
"Could there be a trap?"
Yuan Yi whispered.
"Shut up."
Zhang Tingen gave Yuan Yi another kick, evidently, he hadn't been beaten enough these past few days.
