Chapter 224: Chapter 217: Ghost Fire Boy

To be honest, seeing how serious Jiang Haibing was, Mengde thought something had happened to Gao Lan.

It even made Zhao Lina, who was standing to the side, nervous.

"What happened to Xiaolan?"

"Hurry up and tell us!"

Seeing this, Jiang Haibing looked completely baffled.

"Nothing happened to her!"

Mengde: ...

"Then why were you being so serious? You got us all worked up."

At this, Jiang Haibing finally realized his expression had been inappropriate.

"I was trying to say that a couple of days ago, she left with a group of people."

"It looked like they were here to rescue her."

"And she knew them, so we didn’t stop them."

When he mentioned Doctor Gao Lan, Jiang Haibing’s mood clearly improved.

Because she was the only resident in the Yunxuan Villa District who had never criticized him.

And sometimes, when his colleagues were injured in battle, she was the one who saved them.

So when Jiang Haibing mentioned Gao Lan, his attitude was noticeably different.

"Sigh... When Doctor Gao Lan was here, we didn’t have to worry about getting injured."

"We had Doctor Gao Lan to treat us."

"Who would have thought that right after she left, we’d be attacked by zombies."

At this point, Jiang Haibing scratched his head in embarrassment.

"Now that she’s gone, we’re still not used to it."

It wasn’t just him; the other colleagues behind him felt the same way.

They had always been grateful to Doctor Gao Lan!

As he spoke, Mengde’s brow twitched.

He seemed to have caught some key information.

’Treatment?’

’It seems my guess was right. Gao Lan really did awaken a Healing Superpower.’

’Otherwise, it would be impossible for her to treat Superpower Users.’

This strengthened his resolve to find her.

"Oh, in that case, Brother Bing, did Doctor Gao Lan say where she was going before she left?"

Zhao Lina asked from the side.

Even though she and Gao Lan were good friends, practically sisters,

she had no idea who would come to rescue her best friend at a time like this.

"About that!"

"I think I heard her say she was going home."

Jiang Haibing said after a moment of thought.

’Home???’

Mengde glanced at Zhao Lina beside him, confused.

He remembered her saying that Gao Lan was an orphan.

’Where would she get a home from???’

But he found that Zhao Lina looked just as puzzled.

It seemed she didn’t know the situation either.

But when facing Jiang Haibing, Mengde naturally didn’t show his confusion.

"Oh, I see. Thanks, Brother Bing."

Mengde said his thanks,

but he had already given up hope.

After all, the world was huge. It would be incredibly difficult to find one woman without any clues.

Besides, with that time, he might as well go raid a few hospitals.

He might even find some stray doctors in there.

If he explored enough hospitals, he might actually be able to build a medical team for the base.

Just as this thought crossed his mind, a burst of arrogant laughter suddenly rang out from not far away.

The sound was even more grating than the voices of those bosses who had just died at Zhao Yu’s hands.

"HAHAHA!"

"You’re looking for that bitch Gao Lan? Why don’t you ask me?"

"I know where she is!"

Mengde frowned and looked toward the sound.

He saw a group of young men with wild, spiky hairstyles heading their way.

Each of them was riding an electric scooter.

There were two people per scooter, and they were swinging baseball bats.

From where Mengde stood, their brightly colored hair was exceptionally eye-catching.

It wouldn’t be an exaggeration to call them a bunch of delinquent bikers.

Oh, no, to be precise, that’s exactly what they were—a bunch of delinquent bikers.

What surprised Mengde, however, was that this group was making quite a commotion,

yet they hadn’t attracted any zombie attacks.

They were riding through the streets as if they were in a completely deserted land.

He had never seen anyone so brazen.

’They’re completely disrespecting our zombie brothers!’

"Wang Lie!"

Jiang Haibing said, standing beside Mengde.

Mengde raised an eyebrow and asked in return,

"You know him?"

At first, Mengde found it a bit strange.

But then he remembered that Jiang Haibing used to be with the public security bureau.

He might have actually busted some of these delinquent bikers for street racing in the middle of the night.

Unexpectedly, what Jiang Haibing said next wasn’t what Mengde had imagined.

"Yeah. Before, this guy used to bring people over on their scooters to harass us."

"He said he’d taken a liking to this place and wanted us to leave the Yunxuan Villa District."

"Boss Zhang and the others refused, so it became a standoff."

Before the apocalypse, the Yunxuan Villa District was a famous villa complex in East Sea City.

The villas here were highly sought-after!

The infrastructure, geographical environment, and transportation links were all excellent.

Even now in the apocalypse, it was still an exceptional place to live.

’After all, I couldn’t afford a villa before the apocalypse.’

’You’re not going to let me live in one after the apocalypse?’

’Besides, if you could live in a villa, who would want to sleep on the streets!’

So, at this moment, Mengde wasn’t surprised to hear about the delinquent bikers’ intentions.

"Plus, with us here before, they had no way of taking this place."

"But from the way they’re talking, it sounds like they know where Doctor Gao Lan went!"

This guy Jiang Haibing really wasn’t a simpleton like Tiezhu.

He knew how to think.

He had spotted the crux of the matter right away.

Mengde, of course, also understood the issue.

However, he just smiled faintly without a change in expression.

"We’ll see in a moment."

And while they were talking, the group of delinquent bikers had already sped up to Mengde.

Information about this group had already appeared before Mengde.

Their awakened Superpowers, Superpower Levels, and other details automatically materialized in his vision.

There were about thirty or so of these delinquent bikers.

All of them were Superpower Users who had awakened Superpowers.

The leader was a Tier Six Superpower User, the same yellow-haired guy Jiang Haibing had just mentioned, named Wang Lie.

"Jiang Haibing, didn’t expect this, did you!"

"I’m back again!"

"This time, I’m here to take over the Yunxuan Villa District for sure!"

Wang Lie’s tone was exceptionally arrogant.

He looked as if victory was already in his grasp!

In reality, Mengde had already killed all of those bosses from the villa district.

The Yunxuan Villa District was now ownerless.

He didn’t care for it at all.

So he didn’t care who it belonged to.

As for Jiang Haibing, he probably didn’t care about these things either.

From what he’d said earlier, the main reason for the previous conflict with Wang Lie and his delinquent bikers

was that the big bosses of the villa district didn’t agree.

Now that those bosses were all lined up for the underworld, how could they possibly care about the affairs of the living!

So, before Mengde could speak, Jiang Haibing spoke up himself.

"Wang Lie, the Yunxuan Villa District is yours."

"Take it if you want it. I’m leaving anyway."

Jiang Haibing was the first to state his position.

Unexpectedly, Wang Lie, hearing this, paid no attention to his words at all.

Instead, his gaze shifted to the women beside Mengde.

"Huh? There are some real beauties here!"

"Hey beauties, want to hop on my ride for some fun?"

Mengde’s face instantly darkened...
