Chapter 267: The Silent Arrival of Danger
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
As the first person initiated their actions, everyone began to coordinate with each other!
The entire west camp, in that instant, plunged into complete chaos!
Even though they were prepared, they had never expected the east camp to
take it this far!
Could it be that they were now completely determined to go to extremes?
Yun City had four camps, along with a central camp. The central camp, of course, was comprised of people from the four camps, or in some cases, no one at all. Meetings were only held in the central camp when there were significant matters that required everyone to gather.
For instance, like the situation before.
The people in the central camp were few, belonging to truly neutral individuals and some of Yun City’s most authoritative figures.
They rarely interfered with each other and paid little attention to the conflicts between the four camps.
Only when the entire Yun City was on the verge of death, they would take action!
Otherwise, everything would then be calm.
And now, the reason only the east and west camps remained was that the populations of the north and south camps were smaller!
In the great battle many years ago, almost all the powerful individuals were exhausted.
Without protection, they gradually merged into the east and west camps.
Now, the north and south camps only had some elderly people remaining.
It was merely a reminiscence.
“Never expected them to be so insane!”
“Forget about other places for now! If they want to cause trouble, let them! After all, they are all people of Yun City, and they shouldn’t go so far as to crazily harm the lives of their own brethren.”
“You must ensure the safety of Elder Fu! Elder Fu is currently in a coma, and it’s the most vulnerable time for him.
“You all know, without Elder Fu, we wouldn’t have Yun City as it is now. In the future, we will still need Elder Fu’s protection.”
“So… even if it means sacrificing our lives, we must ensure the safety of Elder
Fu and the others.”
Inside a meeting hall in the west camp, the leading elder spoke with a hint of coldness in his tone!
They now naturally felt the looming crisis.
So, what they could do now, or rather, what they needed to do, was naturally to ensure their absolute safety!
As for Li Yidao at this moment, upon receiving Sister Zhou’s notification, he had already maintained a very vigilant state.
No one knew from which direction the enemy might come, and no one knew what issues might arise.
In this situation, the battle could erupt at any moment. According to their previous analysis, the enemy wouldn’t just single out the old man.
They were destined to first deal with those surrounding the old man, for example, Li Yidao!
His presence absolutely terrified everyone.
As long as there was even a bit of understanding, the situation would be completely different.
Facing Li Yidao’s unpredictable attacks and his defenseless battle style, who wouldn’t be afraid?
Like this, time passed second by second.
The issues in the entire west camp grew more and more.
The enemy’s ten squads of a hundred people began to craft various crises cleverly, making the already scarce combat personnel in the west camp even more so.
There was no choice!
During the previous battles, the people of the west camp had been at the forefront.
Now, many of them, even if they could preserve their lives, had basically exhausted their strength.
Even besides their main insects, all their other insects were gone.
In such a situation, how could they easily engage in battle with the enemy?
“Bang!” And just as Li Yidao contemplated and waited, suddenly, he heard a loud noise outside the door, as if something heavy had fallen.
“Huh?” Li Yidao furrowed his brow, but then he suddenly realized what was happening—there was a battle.
Without a second thought, he rushed out, considering who could be outside.
Other than the old man, there were only Sister Zhou and Yang Qingyue.
They must have come under attack, otherwise, there wouldn’t be such a reaction.
However, just as Li Yidao was about to charge out, suddenly, he felt a chill run through his entire body, and a massive danger loomed. Then, he sensed a somewhat hollow feeling in himself.
“Lifespan… Decreased by 356 years!”
It directly consumed his lifespan. The Grim Reaper’s Protection had been activated.
This left Li Yidao momentarily stunned. Surprisingly, the original protective function of the God’s Bracelet did not activate.
Not only that, but his talismans had no effect—there was a direct counterattack from the Grim Reaper’s Protection!
Li Yidao was honestly taken aback. “Is the system making selective judgments?”
With this thought, he felt a profound sense of incredibility.
It made sense.
After a brief contemplation, Li Yidao hesitated no more and pushed the door open, walking out directly!
Sure enough!
He saw Yang Qingyue panting in the corridor.
In front of him, about three meters away from Li Yidao, two people had passed out, covered in numerous small holes.
Blood was slowly trickling down. It seemed they were breathing in less and exhaling more.
“How is it?” Li Yidao looked at Yang Qingyue, furrowing his brow inquiringly.
Yang Qingyue nodded lightly. “It’s okay, fortunately.”
Seeing that she was not injured, Li Yidao also nodded lightly.
“Let’s go then. Since the enemy has found us, continuing to hide doesn’t make sense. Let’s go to the old man’s place together. I think they must have some preparations; it can’t be that simple,” Yang Qingyue nodded lightly.
Sister Zhou also came out of the room, holding a needle bag, and nodded at the same time.
Five minutes later, inside the old man’s room, the old man remained in a deep sleep, while the three of them sat by his bed, silently waiting.
The enemy was sure to strike again. It was just a matter of seeing the outcome of this final move.
As time passed second by second, watching the old man’s tranquility, Li Yidao honestly admired.
If it were Li Yidao himself, maintaining such a posture without sleep, without speaking, completely motionless, that would be a joke!
But the old man managed to maintain it.
To make it even more realistic, the old man hadn’t eaten anything for a day!
Not only that, but he had maintained the same posture and expression the entire time!
That was truly admirable!
However, just as Li Yidao and the others waited, at some unknown time, an old man silently appeared in the room.
His footsteps were light, so much so that no one noticed!
Moreover, that old man did not show any hostility, and Grim Reaper’s Protection also did not react!
