Don't provoke mentally ill people in the infinite flow genre!

It was raining heavily throughout Leyton late at night.

Yi Zanglan and Yin Canglang, Jiang Yao, Jiang Ling and Liang Tianci, along with the other two groups of team members who went out to scout the terrain, all returned to the cannery in the sixth block one after another.

Only Ling Ye and Sheng Xiao had not returned yet. The group waited for a while longer until they could vaguely hear the roar of an engine outside. Only then did they brave the rain to go out and check.

It was Sheng Xiao who drove the black SUV back. He opened the car door and his first reaction was to look at Yi Zanglan, but he hesitated to speak.

"...All the weapons are in the trunk."

Yi Zanglan frowned and sized him up, then asked in a deep voice, "Where is Ling Ye?"

"He..." Sheng Xiao rarely showed such hesitation and difficulty. He raised his hand and pointed behind him, "He's injured."

The next second, Yi Zanglan suddenly pushed him away and forcefully pulled open the back door.

Ling Ye was leaning there, his face pale, blood staining the seat, and he had lost consciousness.

"Xiaoying, Lao Qin!" she shouted sharply, "Carry him inside!"

Wu Ying and Qin Shaoyu, who had been following behind, immediately stepped forward upon hearing this. Together with Jiang Ling and Jiang Yao, who were a step behind, they lifted Ling Ye and hurriedly returned to the factory.

Yin Canglang quickly came forward and, upon witnessing the scene, roughly understood what had happened.

She glared sternly at Sheng Xiao, then took out a healing potion and tossed it to Yi Zanglan.

"You save people, I'll go get the weapons."

Yi Zanglan caught the medicine, nodded without saying a word, and walked straight into the depths of the factory with a cold expression.

The team members found a relatively clean open space, quickly laid Ling Ye down, and tacitly stepped back a few paces to make room for Yi Zanglan.

Yi Canglan crouched down and ripped open Ling Ye's coat, revealing a deep knife wound on his shoulder, a gunshot wound in his abdomen, and another gunshot wound very close to his heart, seemingly also damaging his lungs.

"Lingye, look at me, don't fall asleep."

She called out softly as she helped him up and, choosing the fastest method of emergency injection, pushed the medication into his jugular vein.

Ling Ye suddenly coughed, and more blood gushed from his wound with his rapid breathing, while blood began to spill uncontrollably from the corner of his lips.

He heard her voice, opened his eyes slightly, as if he wanted to say something, but could only hear her hoarse, bellows-like breathing.

The medicine was potent; his forehead was burning hot, and his wound was clearly in great pain, causing him to tremble uncontrollably.

"Lan...Lanlan..."

"I'm here," Yi Zanglan replied patiently, putting her arm around him so he could lean on her shoulder. "You did a great job. The weapons have been brought back. You can get some sleep. I'll handle the rest."

"Hmm... okay..."

Ling Ye seemed to finally relax, his tense body gradually loosening, and he buried his tired face in her neck.

After the treatment was completed, Yi Zanglan threw away the syringe and waited in the same position for a long time until he noticed that Yi Zanglan's breathing was gradually becoming steady and his wound was beginning to heal slowly.

She bent down to help him lie down, then took off her coat and used it as a pillow before getting up.

She walked out expressionlessly, and the other four team members roughly understood what she was going to do.

Wu Ying looked equally furious and asked coldly, "Do you want me to come along?"

"You and Lingling come with me. Jiang Yao and Lao Qin will stay and guard Lingye."

"OK."

The three quickly arrived at the other side of the factory, where they saw Liang Tianci and the Mu sisters sorting out the firearms and weapons that had just been moved in. Xun Zhou stood beside Yin Canglang, looking down and playing with a tactical military knife.

Sheng Xiao sat alone on the other side with his head drooping. He seemed to have a few more new injuries on his body, which meant he had just been taught a lesson by Yin Canglang.

"I know his character very well." Seeing Yi Canglan approach, Yin Canglang looked up at her, his tone gloomy, "Ling Ye's injury is inextricably linked to him. I'm too lazy to ask any more questions. You can handle it however you like."

Yi Zanglan gave a vague "hmm" in response, then turned and walked towards Sheng Xiao.

She looked down at Sheng Xiao with a calm expression and her tone remained as composed as ever as she asked him in a soft voice.

"Was that shot near Ling Ye's heart fired by you?"

Sheng Xiao looked up: "...What did he say to you?"

"He almost died, how could he have had a chance to say anything to me?" Yi Zanglan sighed, lowered her eyes and smiled, "But I'm not a fool, I only need to look at you once to know what you're thinking."

"..."

"I'll ask you one more time, did you fire that shot?"

She was asking a normal question, but for some reason, Sheng Xiao felt an invisible pressure descending on him, making his heart pound and causing him to panic inexplicably.

He was inherently unwilling to back down, so he maintained his composure and met her gaze with righteous indignation.

"What could I do? The rain was so heavy, I couldn't see who he was going to shoot at at all. What if he was trying to kill me?"

"Why does Ling Ye want to kill you?" Yi Zanglan asked softly. "Is this a cooperative match or an elimination match?"

"..."

"Ling Ye never easily attacks his allies. Are you so afraid he'll kill you because you've already provoked him many times?"

"..."

"But the truth is he didn't kill you, yet you shot him, right?"

Recalling what had just happened, Sheng Xiao felt a strange sense of guilt. He remained silent for a while before trying to explain in a low voice.

"At the time, I never expected Ling Ye to be trying to save me. I thought..."

Before he could finish speaking, Yi Zanglan suddenly kicked him in the chest.

The kick was heavy and vicious, sending Sheng Xiao flying more than ten meters before he crashed into the abandoned machine behind him in mid-air.

Sheng Xiao broke two ribs and coughed up blood when he landed, unable to stand up for a while.

He struggled to get up, but Yi Zanglan, who had come over, kicked him again, sending him rolling twice on the ground.

Liang Tianci and the Mu sisters rushed over upon hearing the commotion, and were stunned by what they saw.

Although Mu Qiuzhu usually disliked Sheng Xiao, this was a matter of pride for the Langtaosha team, so she couldn't help but step forward to stop him.

Wu Ying had been watching this side, and at this moment, she coldly raised her hand to stop her.

"Miss Mu, our captain is only disciplining those who deserve it, and it won't involve others—but if you insist on getting involved, then it's hard to say."

"..."

Mu Qiuxue silently walked behind her and quietly pulled her older sister away.

Even the captain said that they should let Yi Zanglan deal with it as she sees fit, so there was no need for the two of them to offend him for something like Sheng Xiao.

On the other side, Yi Zanglan was bending down and grabbing Sheng Xiao's hair, slamming his head against the machine again and again.

"I've said it before, my team members never betray others, and I don't believe Captain Yin taught you that." She lifted his head, forcing him to look her in the eye. "So, that proves you're a complete scoundrel with absolutely no sense of teamwork, right?"

"..."

His vision was blurred with blood. Sheng Xiao barely opened his eyes and saw her gentle yet cold face.

Like a god who judges all things, without any emotion involved.

He heard her ask softly, "Mr. Sheng, tell me, which hand did you use to pull the trigger?"

"..."

"It should be the right hand, right?"

The next second, Yi Zanglan used the dagger he had taken from Ling Ye, and with a swift motion, the blade pierced through the bone, instantly pinning his right hand to the gap in the machine.

"ah--!!!"

Sheng Xiao immediately let out a beast-like howl, frantically trying to pull his hand back.

But Yi Zanglan held the dagger firmly, letting him struggle until he was completely exhausted and fell down again.

She lifted his chin with her toes to make sure he was still breathing before turning to face the others.

She was covered in Ling Ye's blood, and now her hands were stained with Sheng Xiao's blood. Blood dripped from her fingertips and seeped into the cement ground at her feet.

"This collaborative match was initiated by Captain Yin, and with my consent, it was a decision we both made together." She looked around and spoke calmly, "I understand that neither side's members really approve of it."

Upon hearing this, everyone present, including Yin Canglang, fell silent.

"But since cooperation is a done deal, both sides should show the most basic sincerity. Even if they can't get along, they should at least not point their guns at their allies."

She said slowly, "What happened tonight was ultimately due to my decision, which caused my team members to risk their lives because they kept their promise."

"Therefore, if something similar happens again in the next seven days... it will be considered that Lang Taosha has directly declared war on Black Wind Village."

"At that time, the alliance between the two parties will be null and void, and I will disregard the rules of the cooperative competition and eliminate you all first."
