Doomsday group favorite: I will win with my three brothers

Chapter 282 Immediately Change Target

She quietly gathered her supernatural power, and two needle-like streaks of wind flew out silently, piercing their pressure points where they were unconscious.

After doing all this, she looked at Gao Jue, and when he looked back at her, she smiled sweetly, thinking to herself, "The threats have all been dealt with."

Gao Jue returned the smile.

He turned to the middle-aged man and said, "We only need energy crystals, one hundred level-five energy crystals."

The middle-aged man's eyes widened: "Are you crazy?"

"Or we can take him with us, since he's been quite rude to our companions," Gao Jue said nonchalantly.

The middle-aged man was stunned for a long time before saying with difficulty, "Level 5 energy crystals are rare, and I can't gather so many in a short time."

"We'll take whatever level-five energy crystals we have. If we're short, we can use level-four energy crystals to make up for it. One hundred level-four crystals are equivalent to one level-five crystal." Gao Jue looked up at the sky. "I'm short on time. How about half an hour? After all, this is Young Master Meng's territory. He shouldn't make us wait too long, right?"

"Alright." The middle-aged man, Meng Hao, gritted his teeth and gave the order to his subordinates, and then everyone remained in a stalemate.

Soon, a thin man rushed over: "Young master, you were looking for me."

"How many level-five energy crystals do I have left?" Meng Hao asked in a low voice.

"Twenty-three."

"What about Level 4?"

"Probably a few thousand."

"Give them all to me first."

The thin man was probably an evolved human with spatial abilities. He took out two cloth bags, one large and one small, from his pocket and handed them to Meng Hao.

Meng Hao gripped it tightly, then handed it to Zhao Shikang: "These are all I have. I can't gather any more in a short time. Can you count them?"

Zhao Lexi was somewhat excited because she sensed another surge of supernatural energy approaching, and this time it was even stronger than before. She took a big gulp of spring water and eagerly looked in the direction of the energy fluctuations.

The level-five evolved human lying in ambush noticed Zhao Lexi's gaze, but he didn't care. He had only one goal: to save the base chief's grandson. Other things would be taken care of by others.

Meng Hao, like a father who lost his composure in his attempt to save his son, handed over the "ransom" to the "kidnappers" without any precautions. At the same time, the speed-enhanced human who had been lying in ambush rushed out with lightning speed and grabbed Meng Haitao, who was on Zhao Shikang's shoulder.

At the same moment, Zhao Lexi lunged at the speed-powered evolved human, standing between him and Meng Haitao, and punched him in the chest.

Everything happened in an instant. By the time Meng Hao reacted, he only saw his son still on the enemy's shoulder, the energy crystal in the enemy's hands, and the evolved human he had borrowed from the base commander's mother lying on the ground groaning in pain. Clearly, the operation had failed.

Meng Hao had a bad feeling: the newcomer was his mother's most capable assistant, one of the strongest in the base. His mother's position as base chief was largely due to his contributions. But now, he was clearly seriously injured. If something happened to him, the Xue and Li families would definitely not let such a good opportunity pass by. They would definitely make their move and divide up their resources. At that time, not only would his son be gone, but he and his mother would also be dead.

He immediately realized he had made a huge mistake, knowing he had offended someone he couldn't afford to mess with, and his knees buckled as he knelt on the ground.

Meng Hao was terrified. He crawled to the side of the Level 5 evolved human and, after confirming that his injuries were not incurable, felt somewhat relieved. However, he dared not be as arrogant as before and smiled obsequiously at Gao Jue, saying, "It was my fault for not recognizing you, my ancestor. Please forgive me, please don't hold it against me. I've disliked this rebellious son for a long time. If you want him, take him away and discipline him however you like. I won't say a word! Consider the energy crystals as a tribute..."

"You must be Haifeng's daughter!"

Before Meng Hao could finish speaking, Xue Zheng, supporting an elderly man, staggered over, his face streaked with tears, looking as if he had risked his life to get there.

Gao Jue smiled but remained silent: This family's timing was perfect. "It's all Grandpa's fault, good child, I've wronged you."

When Xue Hua saw Xue Zheng, she guessed who it was, but she had already decided to keep her distance from this family, so she asked indifferently, "I am Xue Haifeng's daughter. Who are you?"

“I am Haifeng’s uncle, you can call me great-grandfather. It’s so good that you’re back, it’s a pity Haifeng is gone…”

"My dad?" Xue Hua asked, puzzled.

The old man sighed, “After we settled down, we started searching for our relatives everywhere. Your father was also within the search area, but it was too late when we arrived. Haifeng had already turned into a zombie. And your mother, just like your father. We couldn’t bear to kill them, so we locked them in a room so they would have company. As for you, you are too far away, and we were willing but unable to help you.”

Xue Hua looked at Xue Zheng. If her father was within the search area, why did he, as a member of the Xue family, know nothing about it?
The old man looked at Xue Hua and explained, "The younger generation was just following the plan we set out to rescue people. At that time, the rescue team that A-Zheng was in was responsible for the area north of the base, and he didn't know what was going on in the west."

Meng Hao glared at the Xue family, his heart filled with resentment. He had wanted to establish his authority, but he was unlucky enough to run into a powerful figure and be caught by the Xue family. He was truly down on his luck.

Meng Hao slowly pulled the Level 5 evolved human along, trying to leave quietly.

But Zhao Lexi stopped him, smiling and asking, "Don't be in such a hurry to leave."

Zhao Lexi stepped on the two people and looked at Gao Jue, while Gao Jue looked at the old man.

After a while, he turned his head and looked over. Zhao Lexi hurriedly wondered: Is what he said true? Are Sister Xue's parents really dead?

Gao Jue nodded slightly.

On the other side, Xue Hua asked with skepticism, "Did my dad and mom really turn into zombies? Right in our house?"

The old man nodded and sighed, "Child, you can't go back there. Just stay here. The Xue family will always be your roots."

"Thank you, but I won't stay. I need to go home and check on things first." Xue Hua didn't trust the Xue family.

"That's the city center, it's teeming with zombies, you can't go there."

"Even if I can't go, I still..."

Gao Jue suddenly interrupted Xue Hua: "Even if we don't go, we have other things to do, so we can only decline the Xue family head's invitation."

Xue Hua seemed to realize something and looked at Zhao Lexi, who slowly nodded. Her expression was gloomy, and she didn't ask any more questions, knowing that she had no need to go home.

"you are……"

"We are from the Twin Mercenary Group of T City. He is our vice-captain and also Master Yuan Tong's last disciple. We came here this time..."

The old man's eyes lit up: "You've come about Jingshan Temple!"

Gao Jue smiled: "Exactly."

"I've heard so much about you!" The head of the Xue family immediately changed the target of the conversation to Zhao Shikang.

Any base would be envious of the power and resources of Jingshan Temple. Now that it has been able to get involved with a disciple of Master Yuantong, he certainly cannot let it go.
