Chapter 220: Chapter 183: Drink This Bowl of Wine (Part 3)

「More than half an hour later.」

Xie Shaokun woke up, his injuries ninety percent healed.

Little Nannan woke up. She still hadn’t broken through to the First Grade Spiritual Ability Realm, but she was extremely close—on the verge of a breakthrough at any moment.

Hong She’s injuries were fully healed, and his strength had even seen a slight improvement.

Second Sister-in-law’s injuries were fully healed, and her strength had also improved slightly.

The burly man’s injuries were fully healed, and his progress was more pronounced. He, too, was on the verge of a breakthrough at any moment. As a former international mercenary, his body was already exceptionally strong, and his talent was in the Upper Middle tier.

The bald man’s injuries were fully healed, and his progress was even more significant. In terms of physical prowess alone, he was a little weaker than the burly man, about on par with Hong She.

Because Xia Yu had suffered severe bone injuries, she hadn’t fully recovered yet. However, she could now move her arms with some effort and handle light tasks.

Her other wounds had already healed, and her strength had even increased.

As of now, she had progressed 33% of the way through the First Grade Spiritual Ability Realm.

’Getting injured is such a waste of time.’

Xia Yu frowned slightly. The result wasn’t surprising. If she hadn’t been injured and had focused solely on cultivating for the past two-plus hours, she could have reached 34% of the way through the First Grade Spiritual Ability Realm!

Maybe even 35%!

But there were no "if"s in reality.

She shook the distracting thoughts from her mind and gave an order. "Use the ropes to tie up the Spiritual Ape corpses. Tie up as many as you can. The stronger they were in life, the better."

"Understood."

Xie Shaokun, Hong She, and Little Nannan understood immediately. They turned, pulled long ropes from their backpacks, and began handing them out to Second Sister-in-law and the others as they started tying up the Spiritual Ape corpses.

"Just tie their wrists. That way, we can take more Spiritual Ape corpses with us when we leave."

"The stronger the Spiritual Ape, the more its flesh and blood will help improve our strength."

"I remember this one! It was at the Peak of the First Grade Spiritual Ability Realm. We have to take it!"

...

As they worked, the group continuously exchanged tips and experiences.

The atmosphere was congenial.

Only Little Flower remained silent, as always.

Xia Yu glanced at Second Sister-in-law and the others but said nothing, returning her focus to improving her strength and healing her injuries.

About ten minutes later, seeing the surrounding fog begin to thin, everyone hastily tightened their grip on the ropes.

Xia Yu, for her part, grabbed her backpack.

Soon...

HUMMM.

Their vision blurred.

The group reappeared in the sales office.

Also appearing were Manager Wang, the peeper, and the others’...

Bodies.

"!!!"

Second Sister-in-law, the burly man, and the bald man were all completely stupefied.

If it weren’t for the ropes in their hands, laden with the corpses of countless Spiritual Apes, they would have thought they were dreaming.

For a moment, they were in a daze.

Unable to process what was happening.

In stark contrast, Xia Yu and her group, already accustomed to such sights, sprang into action, quickly tossing the Spiritual Ape corpses into the vehicles.

One van.

Two vans.

...

They filled more than a dozen vans in total.

"We don’t have enough people."

Xie Shaokun’s brows furrowed.

There were eight of them in total. Even if each person drove one, they could only move eight vans.

And what’s more, Little Nannan didn’t even know how to drive.

Little Nannan said, "Isn’t this place surrounded by police? Why don’t we ask the officers for help?"

Second Sister-in-law: "..."

The burly man: "..."

The bald man: "..."

’Sure enough.’

’This group’s background is anything but simple.’

This completely extinguished any thoughts they had of calling the police or trying to escape.

They would just have to be obedient laborers for now.

"Don’t we have ropes?"

Hong She, showing his experience, spoke up. "We can tie them to the tow hooks. If we lash two vans close together and drive slowly, it’ll be fine. The only issue is it will cause a lot of wear and tear."

"These are just beat-up old vans. Who cares about wear and tear?"

Xie Shaokun shook his head. "We’ll do it your way."

Little Nannan asked, "What if the traffic police stop us?"

Xie Shaokun replied, "I’ll give Zhao Guohui a call."

Hong She reminded him, "We can’t expose our base."

Seizing the opportunity, Second Sister-in-law said, "Why not come to my place? It’s an abandoned factory. Totally safe, and it’s close by."

Xia Yu nodded.

With that, the group sprang into action.

Little Flower drove Xia Yu’s van with Little Nannan in the passenger seat. Theirs was the only van not towing another.

Everyone else drove one van, each towing another behind it.

That made for a total of thirteen vans.

All of them were loaded with the bodies of Spiritual Apes.

「About half an hour later.」

The group arrived at an abandoned chemical plant.

While the others unloaded the Spiritual Ape corpses, Xia Yu scouted the area.

When she was finished, she announced,

"We’ll stay here for the next three days."

Xia Yu was quite satisfied with the location. Her gaze fell upon Second Sister-in-law and the others...
