Chapter 224: Captured Alive
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
“The defense at the main gate is too strong. We’ll look for another place to break through.”
The territory covered by the Tiger Base was not small. He did not believe that he could not enter from other places.
“Yes, Guardian.”
Xiao Jin watched as the indigo-robed men retreated orderly. There was no joy of victory on his face at all. He knew they would never give up easily.
In order to prevent them from breaking through the defensive wall and infiltrating the Tiger Base, they could only go out to kill them.
When he thought of this, Xiao Jin turned around and descended from the gate wall. He led a team and dashed out when the gate was opened.
The Indigo Guardian gave a scornful sneer when he saw Xiao Jin charging out with his men. He did not have any intention of evading them. The Sky Alpha Cult members were not afraid of death. Without the gate wall acting as a barrier, the people of the Tiger Base were no match for them.
“Kill them!”
The golden rays of light broke through the clouds and dispelled all the chilly darkness, illuminating the whole city that was now covered in bloodshed and ruins.
Su Ying pressed the electric baton in her hand against Wei Ji’s chest. The weakened electric current wouldn’t immediately kill her, but it could gradually paralyze her limbs until she couldn’t move.
Her gorgeous dress was totally stained with blood, her neatly combed hair was disheveled and unsightly, and the corners of her eyes were swollen. The most surprising thing was that her originally young and beautiful face seemed to have been drained of its essence at this moment, and she instantly aged by more than 30 years.
Compared to Wei Ji, Su Ying’s condition wasn’t much better. There was a gash on her forehead, and bright red blood flowed all over her face, making it difficult for her to open her right eye. The protective clothing she was wearing was also torn in many places, and her arms were covered in tiny wounds.
There was no trace of anger at her defeat on Wei Ji’s face. Instead, she laughed maniacally as she looked at Su Ying. “You possessed the bearing I had in my younger days. Hahaha!”
Su Ying withdrew the electric baton in her hand. Wei Ji’s body lost its support and fell heavily to the ground.
“I’m very curious to know who you are.” And how she managed to build such a magnificent place.
This sentence seemed to have triggered Wei Ji’s long-buried memories. She narrowed her eyes and did not say anything else.
Su Ying didn’t kill Wei Ji immediately because there were still many things she hadn’t figured out yet. She took out electronic locks and locked her hands, feet, and mouth. Then, she took a black helmet and put it on Wei Ji’s head before throwing her into her interspatial store.
She wasn’t worried that Wei Ji would break free from the electronic locks.
Those electronic locks would release an electric current that could make people’s limbs go numb if they struggled even a little. Even if she was at her peak state, she would find it difficult to break free, let alone now when she was injured.
Su Ying tore off a corner of her clothes and quickly bandaged the wound on her forehead.
After a night of fierce fighting, the ground was littered with the corpses of birds and wild beasts, but there was no sign of human corpses. This was because when those people’s hearts stopped beating, they would immediately turn into bloody fluid.
With Wei Ji’s defeat, the remaining people lost their pillar of support all of a sudden. They didn’t know if they should continue to attack Su Ying or surrender.
When Su Ying took a step forward, those people took a step back.
Su Ying looked icily at these creatures that had been trained until they were neither human nor demons. “Those who don’t want to die, proceed to the training ground.”
Those people exchanged looks with one another, not knowing whether to obey or resist.
Su Ying didn’t give them too much time to hesitate. She raised the laser gun in her hand. “Move!”
They were probably intimidated by her murderous aura. Those people subconsciously began to walk in the direction of the training ground.
Based on her past practice, she would never let any of these people live. However, when she saw the vacant looks in their eyes, she decided to let them live first.
Su Ying stood on a high vantage point and gazed down at them. After placing the amplifier on her throat, she spoke casually.
“Your Empress has already died in my hands. If you want to be buried with her, just bite the poison pill hidden in your mouths. If you don’t want to die, listen to me obediently.”
Those people looked at Su Ying with bafflement in their eyes, as if they were trying hard to understand what she meant.
“We won’t die if we listen to you?” A maroon-robed man asked cautiously.
Su Ying’s gaze fell on him. “Of course. But if any of you attempt to seek revenge for your Empress, 1’11 make sure everyone dies with him!”
Revenge…
Those people exchanged looks with one another as if they could not understand what kind of emotion this was.
If they could continue to live like before as long as they listened to her, then they would listen to her.
Su Ying also found it difficult to understand what these people were thinking. She was all alone here now, so she couldn’t keep an eye on all of them. She also didn’t know how the situation at the Tiger Base was.
“Go. Get everyone here to come out.” Su Ying said to a black-robed man.
When he saw that Su Ying really had no intention of killing them, the black-robed man obediently turned around and summoned the children on the training ground.
These children had personally witnessed the battle between Su Ying and Wei Ji last night. They were already so frightened by Su Ying’s lethal viciousness that they were shaking all over. Now that they were all led out, all of them thought that Su Ying wanted to take their lives.
“Do any of you know where the Tiger Base is?” Su Ying asked as she looked at the children.
The children were so scared that they didn’t even dare to look her in the eye.
At this moment, a boy, who was slightly over ten years of age and had a stubborn look in his eyes, stepped forward.
“I know. I know where it is.”
“Where are you from?”
The little boy said, “My… my parents are… are from the Azure Dragon Base. I… I know where the Tiger Base is.”
“You were captured by them from the Azure Dragon Base?”
“Yes.”
“Alright. You will go out of this place in a while and go to the Tiger Base to check on the situation there. If you can enter, tell the people in the Tiger Base that 1 have already settled things here. Tell them to bring people over immediately. If you can complete this task, 1 will reward you.”
The boy looked at her doubtfully. “You… you won’t kill me?”
Su Ying raised an eyebrow. “Why would I want to kill you?”
“I… 1 will definitely complete the task!”
Su Ying pointed at a black-robed man and told him to take the little boy out.
The black-robed man obediently brought the little boy to the tunnel.
Not long after that, the black-robed man walked back and returned to stand at his previous position. His obedient behavior surprised Su Ying.
“What color-robed people are serving that woman in person?”
The red-robed men and the green-robed men in the crowd stepped out one after another.
Su Ying looked at the two distinct colors of their robes, and the corners of her eyes twitched. Red complementing green. She had quite a unique taste.
“You guys know everything about the palace?”
Some of the red-robed men and the green-robed men nodded while others shook their heads.
“Only the Guardian knows,” a green-robed man said.
“Which Guardian?”
The green-robed people all looked in a certain direction.
The Green Guardian met everyone’s gaze, and a hint of panic flashed across his eyes swiftly.
Su Ying looked at him and gestured to him. “Come here..”
