Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
“I said, we’re going to the west camp,” Li Yidao declared firmly.
He came to a direct halt, standing still in his tracks.
His expression had turned grave, and his gaze was fixed on the leader guiding the way.
His demeanor was icy cold.
At the same time, his right hand held a talisman.
Meanwhile, Yang Qingyue was the first to react by gathering energy in her hands. Sister Zhou hesitated for a moment but then positioned herself directly beside Li Yidao and Yang Qingyue.
This position allowed her to provide limited support to the two and, at the same time, offered effective protection against potential threats. It wasn’t that Sister Zhou was afraid of death at this moment.
The main point was that she couldn’t become a burden.
She had to ensure that, during the course of the battle, she wouldn’t be considered a hostage to threaten Li Yidao and the others.
Simultaneously, she needed to make sure she wouldn’t interfere with everyone’s combat.
Hence, at this moment, Sister Zhou found herself in this strategic position.
At this moment, almost everyone came to a halt.
The atmosphere became somewhat eerie.
Some people from Yun City subconsciously moved closer to Li Yidao, while others, arriving later, instinctively confronted Li Yidao’s group.
Seeing this scene, Li Yidao breathed a sigh of relief.
It seemed that the entire Yun City wasn’t the issue; this was likely just a case of internal conflict.
From the current situation, it was probable that only a part of the group was causing trouble.
Taking a deep breath, Li Yidao silently observed the other side, maintaining a calm and unyielding gaze.
There was no sign of backing down, and both sides entered a standoff. As the peculiar and silent atmosphere lingered for about a minute, the other side finally smiled slightly.
“Well, let’s go to the west camp. However, the medical personnel are all in the east camp. I’ll notify them to prepare in the west camp,” he explained, seeming to make a final attempt or negotiation.
If Li Yidao hadn’t insisted on going to the west camp, he might have considered following them to the east camp to avoid causing more trouble. However, Li Yidao had his reasons.
Sorry, but Li Yidao would definitely only go to the west camp, not the east camp!
As for the reasons… It wasn’t necessary to say them now, and there was no need to care about them. The other party understood.
Such crude tactics were truly meaningless.
Li Yidao remained silent. When they reached the fork in the road, the other party hesitated for a moment, but in the end…
They didn’t make any move, just turned and headed toward the west camp.
Li Yidao continued holding the talisman in his hand without any intention of putting it down.
For him, if the other party made any suspicious moves, he would choose to act immediately! There would be no hesitation!
However, perhaps the other party had second thoughts or hesitations. There were no unusual movements.
In this way, a relatively harmonious situation emerged.
Not bad.
At least, they could safely reach the west camp.
When Li Yidao and the others arrived, it was already the closing moments of the day.
When he saw the so-called “west camp,” he couldn’t help but be stunned.
Was this a camp?
What kind of joke was this?
How could this be a camp?
This was clearly a city!
Although many buildings around seemed to be concealed with branches, the actual situation was different.
The structures used reinforced concrete.
The central building, a structure at least thirty stories high, was entirely decorated with wooden finishes on the outside.
The surrounding trees were used as embellishments, giving the entire building a profoundly ancient feeling.
All these details transitioned in a very calm and friendly manner.
“How is Elder Fu’s condition?”
As they just entered the west camp, a group of people approached.
Leading them were five or six elderly individuals, their expressions notably solemn.
Especially when they saw the old man lying on the stretcher, a trace of concern flashed in their eyes.
Observing their expressions, Li Yidao understood why the old man had come to the west camp.
Here, it seemed quite decent.
These people genuinely showed reverence towards the old man.
They wouldn’t resort to any tricks against him.
so…
Currently, there should be no issue with the old man coming to the west camp. Li Yidao sighed in relief.
The person who had accompanied them inside, the one who initially received them, did not follow them into the west camp after Li Yidao’s group entered.
Instead, he turned and left.
Watching the departing figure, Li Yidao scrutinized him deeply.
Judging by his demeanor, there probably was an issue between them and the west camp!
If they had followed to the east camp earlier, the situation might not have unfolded as it did.
“Fortunately, there’s nothing major; he just needs some rest.”
The Yun City individual who had been initially with Li Yidao’s group spoke up, explaining.
Those on the opposite side let out a sigh of relief.
“That’s good. Hurry and take Elder Fu to rest. These individuals are…”
The leading elderly man directed his gaze toward Li Yidao.
“He came with Elder Fu. They are all Elder Fu’s juniors.”
Hearing the explanation, the other elderly individuals on the opposite side were momentarily stunned before nodding in understanding.
“Come with us then. Rest first. Any matters can be discussed after Elder Fu wakes up.”
Saying this, the elderly man turned and walked towards the inside, signaling everyone to follow.
Li Yidao’s group didn’t hesitate and quickly followed suit.
In the end, they directly arrived at the top floor of the tallest building.
Not only that, but they went straight to the penthouse!
The space on the top floor wasn’t very large, but it was well-equipped.
There were a few guest rooms and some recreational and leisure areas.
“Arrange for Elder Fu to rest first. You can each find a room to rest as well. Feel free to use all the facilities, food, and other items inside.’
The other party didn’t say much to Li Yidao and his group.
Everything seemed to be waiting for Elder Fu to wake up before discussing any further.
Li Yidao and the others didn’t dwell on the matter.
Currently, they were in the dark about everything.
It would be a prudent choice to wait until Elder Fu woke up before seeking more information.
One notable point was that the three individuals who had fought alongside Elder Fu were not brought to the top floor.
After entering the building, they were carried away.
The one still able to move and the one severely injured were also treated similarly, placed in different areas.
As for the specific locations, Li Yidao wasn’t entirely sure. However, he knew that there wouldn’t be any danger.
But…
Li Yidao was truly feeling a bit confused at the moment. From top to bottom, from start to finish, everything was making it hard for him to keep track.
Who was a friend, and who was an enemy?
He could only wait until the old man woke up and then carefully inquired about everything..
