Aromatic Flesh

Chapter 82.3: Cannon Fodder In The Post-Apocalyptic World (11)

Su Shaoyuan shielded Gu Mingyue behind him, while An Yize and Gao Jing stood on either side of her in a protective stance. Gu MingYue, on the other hand, tilted her head slightly to the side to peek out from behind the men to observe the situation and analyse the dynamics.

The occupying survivors at the rest station were all men, and they appeared to be in their prime, with well-built and muscular bodies, indicating good physical health. The known number of individuals was twenty-one, with the remaining unknown. The surroundings of the rest station have been fortified with abandoned vehicles forming the shape of a metal barrier, suggesting the presence of metal-based ability users among the opposing group. Their strength was likely formidable.

While Gu Ming Yue was still contemplating, Jing Yao, being the last one to disembark the bus, casted a barrier spell to conceal the entire bus. This was because, even if the opposing group knew the bus’s location, once it was protected by the barrier spell, nobody could approach or enter the area bound by the enchantment unless they killed the barrier caster or if the barrier caster willingly lift the barrier.

Jing Yao stood behind Gu MingYue, and the four men surrounded her in a protective stance, simultaneously asserting their ownership. However, Jing Yao’s intention was not to protect Gu Mingyue, instead, he had other matters he wanted her cooperation with. Using his hand, he gently wrote a few words on the woman’s back, pausing for a few seconds after each word to give her time to contemplate. Once all the words were written, Gu Mingyue nodded nonchalantly in agreement without facing him.

Her gaze shifted to the concealed bus protected by the barrier spell. She should be able to remotely access the space at such a close distance.

Unnoticed by the others, Gu MingYue and Jing Yao cooperated to protect the bus by placing it within her pocket dimension, while the barrier spell continued to serve as a deception to confuse the opposing group.

The leader of the opposing group, a middle-aged man with a friendly smile and a slightly yellowed row of teeth, stepped forward and greeted the members of the survivor team led by Bai JunFei. The man appeared warm and amiable.

“Hello,” Liu RuiCheng said, crushing his cigarette under his foot after tossing it to the ground. He greeted the leader of the opposing group and continued, “We would like to pass through here. Could you please move the roadblock?”

“Hey, we haven’t seen other people in a very long time. Why don’t you stay for a couple of days? We have plenty of rooms here, and it’s safe,” the leader said, making their intentions clear. Liu Ruicheng, unsure of their motives, took out another cigarette from his pocket, lit it, and took a deep drag. He exhaled a thick, swirling cloud of smoke and remained silent.

The members of the survivor group did not want to stay in this place for long. The motives of the opposing group were unclear, and the presence of the roadblock indicated their intention to intercept passing survivors. The team didn’t want to engage in unnecessary conflicts. If they could resolve the situation through communication, they would prefer not to resort to violence. Furthermore, their numbers were small, and they had Xi Wei, whose combat ability was equivalent to being useless, along with a seemingly delicate and helpless woman.

The leader understood the need to give them some time to consider and remained unperturbed by their silence. His eyes narrowed into a smile as Liu RuiCheng finished smoking and he asked again, “What do you say?”

“Respectfully accepting is better than resisting. It’s been a while since we’ve had the chance to relax comfortably,” Liu RuiCheng extended his right hand towards the leader. “We’ll be troubling you for two nights or so.”

Liu RuiCheng’s decision aligned with the thoughts of the rest of the survivor team. They had been through thick and thin together, maintaining a high level of unity in handling situations. Of course, the situation with Gu MingYue was an exception.

When Bai JunFei parked the vehicle, he already anticipated that the opposing group must have a significant number of people to set up roadblocks and makeshift barriers. However, since the opposing group had taken such actions, there must be a good reason behind it. He was confident that they currently had no malicious intent. So, why were they intercepting survivors?

Therefore, regardless of whether they forcefully broke through the roadblocks or left with a stern attitude, it would inevitably lead to armed conflict. While combat was not a big issue, it still required effort and resources. Bai JunFei wanted to know what the opposing group’s true intentions were.

The only member of the survivor team who did not have an opinion on the situation was Jiang Lei. He usually followed whatever others said, avoiding using his brain whenever possible. At the moment, he was regretting his slow reaction in not quickly positioning himself beside Gu MingYue as her protector, missing a great opportunity to get close to her. Most of the men around her had already had some kind of relationship with her, and since Jiang Lei knew about her unique ability, he had been eager to experience intimate moments with her that would bring joy to both of them.

Yup, with his ‘ample assets’, he would surely be able to fulfil the beauty’s desires. He yearned for an opportunity to roll over and offer himself as a tribute!

Jiang Lei is SO CUTE REEEEEE ??
