Lord of End of World

Chapter 94

Not having walked too far, Gong Lixin suddenly turned back. His eyes filled with killing intent fell to the last member in the back of the team and, without waiting, he pulled out a knife from his waist and threw it towards them.

The ability user was stunned. He didn't know why Young Master Gong, who had been just fine, would attack him. However, the knife came very fast and he wasn't able to avoid it. He could only stand in the place and die. Tan Mingyuan and others looked equally stunned and thought that Young Master Gong wanted to go back on his words and kill people.

But when they turned around, the person stood still in the same place and the knife had grazed his cheek, cutting off silver-white spider silk extending from the branches behind him.

"It's a mutant spider!" Wang Tao shouted. The people immediately returned to reality, took out their weapons and got into their defensive positions as they stared up at the dense canopy, trying to find the mutant spider hiding between the branches and leaves. However, because the sky had already gotten dark, they searched for a long time without any results.

The ability user suddenly realized what happened and was grateful towards Young Master Gong. If the spider silk had stuck to him, he would have been dragged into the tree by the mutant spider and would have been eaten.

"Ling Yin, Da Liu, be careful it's behind you!" Gong Lixin turned his head and shouted.

"Got it." Ling Yin and Da Liu answered and quickly stood back to back, placing their knives in their hands across their chest. After a moment, spider silk fell from the canopy and rushed towards the two. The spider's silk was so sticky that if it won't come off unless you took off the clothes it stuck too or cut off the skin.

The two swung their knives and cut off the rushing spider silk before jumping away. Song Haoran threw a fireball towards the place where the spider silk came from. The fire slammed into the canopy, blasting between the branches and leaves, making for a big firework. A sharp screech rang out and a spider the size of an ox fell from the canopy. It rolled on the ground and struggled, trying to extinguish the flames on his abdomen and furry joints.

Ling Yin and Da Liu seized the opportunity and rushed to the front, swinging their knives a few times and cut off its eight legs. In the blink of an eye, they cut off its head, chest and abdomen too and the spider ceased moving. Wang Tao quickly rushed up to the front of the spider's body and punched its head to stop its screeching. The four people cooperated fluidly. It took only a few minutes for them to handle the spider yet they normally struggled with mutated spiders. The eighteen people from the prison base felt ashamed after the shock left them.

In particular, Tan Mingyuan who had his head down, not being able to show his face from the shame. Because Da Liu and Ling Yun were ordinary people, he had intentionally and unintentionally ridiculed them and wanted to pressure the two to leave the team.

Thinking of this now, Tan Mingyuan's skin that was thicker than a city's wall, turned slightly red. He looked up and looked at Da Liu and Ling Yin and inexplicably let out a laugh at the sight of the two.

When Li Dongsheng saw that the mutant spider had died, he went forward and took out a huge glass bottle from his space to collect the venom dripping from the spider's fangs. After the venom was collected, he changed the glass bottle for a larger plastic bucket and placed it under the spider's butt before signalling Wang Tao.

Wang Tao nodded and jumped up to the spider's abdomen, putting one foot on each side of it. He then squeezed his legs together and the spider behind began to spray silver-white spider silk, falling into the prepared plastic bucket. The spider silk of a mutant spider would then be soaked in ice water for three days and then dried under the sun. The viscosity would be removed that way, but the toughness would be multiplied. It could then be used to weave nets to kill zombies. If a third-level zombie fell under this kind of hunting net, then they couldn't break free no matter how hard they struggled. It was a very practical tool.

Li Dongsheng filled six buckets before spider ran out of silk and the originally rounded spider had also been squeezed into a thin piece of paper by Wang Tao, making for a deplorable figure.

Looking at their skilled collection work, Tan Mingyuan's and his teammates' eyes convulsed. Obviously, these people weren't doing this for the first time. They were making the best of the spider! Falling into their hands, this spider was also unlucky!

When Li Dongsheng was all done, Gong Lixin raised his hand and signaled everyone to get on the car. The car slowly started. The corner of Tan Mingyuan's eyes twitched up again, only because Da Liu and Ling Yin had taken the large bottle of venom from Li Dongsheng and immersed their five-inch long knives with delicate craftsmanship into the bottle before closing the bottle and returning it to Li Dongsheng. Li Dongsheng, on the other hand, was familiar with this and would take it out from its space tomorrow morning as the toxicity would be completely absorbed by the blade by then.

Looking at the abnormal, neon blue emitting from the knife, Tan Mingyuan trembled, trying to recall if he hadn't done anything else than just using words to bully those two. Fortunately, he was very cautious and loved to stay within the line for everything he did. He didn't offend the two and he felt fortunate enough to wipe the cold sweat from his forehead.

Sh*t! I will not pick on these people again in the future! He told himself.

While riding together in the car, Young Master Gong and his entourage and Tan Mingyuan and his party arrived at Long Snake Island Prison. Long Snake Island under the cover of the dark appeared black and lacquered with nothing to light the long way in. Even though Gong family had brought more than a dozen generators, aside from connecting them to the protective grid and for operating machines, people didn't dare use it for lighting, fearing that the light would lead zombies to attack.

However, human beings were like moths and desired light. How difficult was it to create a bright night? So they naturally ignited a raging bonfire and people piled around them in twos and threes., dispelling the loneliness and fear in their hearts. Some people talked loudly, some people meditated on their knees, others quietly humble laughed at female prisoners; the air was filled with a carefree atmosphere which made people feel good. One had to say that after being held captive for a long time, these prisoners knew what it meant to have fun.

Gong Lixin stood at the entrance, his dark eyes were lit up by the lively scene before him and the corner of his mouth slightly rose. Song Haoran and Lin Wenbo stood by his side and felt his vitality. For the first time, they felt that these prisoners from Long Snake Island seemed to be not too bad. They didn't say anything for the time being though, but they would strive to live.

Tan Mingyuan felt proud seeing that Young Master Gong liked the scene before him. If he doesn't want to leave, he would not force him and whispered, "Young Master Gong, go ahead and play with them. I will go and report to Bao Long about the situation."

"Nine people died, can you really report him that?" Song Haoran asked without much confidence.

"As long as we offer him a wind nucleus as a tribute, Bao Long won't care if a few people died. At most, he says a sentence or two, but that's all." Tan Mingyuan waved his hand. He had long disdained Bao Long's attitude. He had long been dissatisfied with Bao Long's dictatorial leadership but didn't dare resist because of Bao Long's level. Young Master Gong's strength and tolerance made him convinced of that and he was willing to join the Gong family's side.

"Huh, such a person can actually become the leader of the base, that's incredible." Lin Wenbo raised his brows and laughed.

Tan Mingyuan nodded and lowered his head in front of these few people. One doesn't need to think that far, this was the biggest prison in C country. The prisoners were all extremely violent and whoever had the strongest fist was the leader, not whoever was the smartest.

After Tan Mingyuan left, Gong Lixin looked at Song Haoran with bright eyes before looking forward. "Big Brother Song, let's also set up a bunch of bonfires so that everyone is surrounded by bonfires."

"Alright." Song Haoran agreed with him and started to walk, signalling Wang Tao and others that they were going to collect firewood. Wang Tao and Gu Nan promised to join them without a word. After the two walked away, they wiped their sweat: Young Master Gong couldn't want to play cards, right? No one better not open their mouth and mention it!

The bonfires were soon ignited and sixteen people sat in groups of twos and threes, playing poker or just chatting, making for a very pleasant atmosphere. But not long after, a sudden fight and yelling were coming from the distance and ruined their rare relaxing time.

Gong Lixin stood up and walked towards the crowd. He saw that everyone automatically had surrounded a vacant space in the middle. In the centre of the open space, a fire ability user and a wind ability user were releasing their skills and attacking a tall man. A gust of wind blade and fireball ruthless bombarded the man and, not long after that, the ragged form was covered in blood and made for an embarrassing sight.

But the man refused to admit defeat, swinging his fist and attacking the two ability users, again and again, his eyes emitting a fierce light like that of a beast. It could be seen that his skill was quite powerful. If the two men were fighting against him along, they may not be able to win. But it was a pity that the two seemed to have no sense of fairness and unscrupulously used their abilities to abuse an ordinary person and, from time to time, yell out curses and insults.

With his extraordinary eyesight, Gong Lixin recognized that the man was the one he had saved the other day. He twisted his brows and anger faintly rose in his heart. Da Liu and Ling Yin stood behind him and had already become pale with anger. "What are they doing to the ordinary person? Was it not enough to enslave ordinary people with their abilities and abuse them and make them live at the bottom? This is too much!" They said that, but if Young Master Gong didn't give out the command, they wouldn't take any actions.

Right then, Gong Xiangyi appeared out of nowhere and pulled Lin Wenbo's sleeve and said, "Wenbo, that man is named Dou Heng and used to be the leader of North District of the prison. His skills are very powerful. You go save him and pull him to outside. Later, he will definitely be useful to you."

After breaking up, Gong Xiangyi was immersed in remorse every day. She hated herself so much that she wanted to scream out her lungs and go and made up with Lin Wenbo. She was now thinking about Lin Wenbo wholeheartedly and, if he saved Dou Heng from being a killer, in the future, Lin Wenbo's road will be a lot smoother.

Lin Wenbo's lip didn't move and Gong Xiangyi's words were not heard. He knew that Gong Xiangyi could see the fate of some people, but he didn't believe in fate. His path, he will travel it by himself, not follow this so-called fate. Song Haoran also glanced at him then at Gong Xiangyi, but he didn't move.

Gong Xiangyi felt anxious and pleaded Lin Wenbo by tugging his sleeve. She said, "You have to believe me. Believe me this time! Dou Heng will have great use to you later!" Because Gong Lixin was next to her, she deliberately lowered her voice. Keeping her voice lowered, she didn't dare explain too much, for fear of being heard and once again, experience defeat.

But she didn't understand Gong Lixin's strength that well. Unless she could pass the secret without making any sound, her voice, no matter how it's lowered, could not escape Gong Lixin's ears. Frowning, Gong Lixin pulled Lin Wenbo's sleeves away and slowly said, "Gong Xiangyi, don't look down on the man in the field, he's strong and doesn't need others to save him."

The voice of the young man was soft and clear, but it held unquestionable confidence. Gong Xiangyi was shocked by the power infused in his voice. Her eyes trembled and she pretended to be calm. "How do you know that he's strong? He's just an ordinary person with no ability!" She had tried many times to check if Gong Lixin was reborn, but it was impossible to know. And the future was constantly changing.

Gong Lixin pointed at his own eyes and said, "He has a pair of eyes that belongs to the strong." His words fell and he faintly sneered at Gong Xiangyi and no longer spoke to her.

Song Haoran nodded and agreed. Lin Wenbo looked at his sleeve and remembered what the young man had stopped Gong Xiangyi's extremely possessive movement. His lips couldn't be restrained as they curled up.
