Endless Winter: My Camp Upgrades Infinitely

Chapter 523: Chapter 232: Saving Lives, Acting, Xia City in Uproar [8,000-Word Chapter, More to Come]

”Hahaha, Master Hou is truly considerate, Wu is very grateful!”

Wu Xiong clasped his hands with a loud laugh, then exchanged glances with Han Jiuli beside him, a flicker of apprehension passing through both their eyes.

Zhaoyang’s attack on the Beehive and their own assault on Yang Lu had been prearranged to occur simultaneously, so they were already aware of it.

However, for Hou Ming to send reinforcements to assist them afterward was beyond their expectations.

They were unaware that Wu Tianxing had secretly pledged allegiance to Zhaoyang.

From their perspective, with two Cold Resistance Level guards, over seven hundred Earth-digging Realm warriors, and the advantage of a home base, the Beehive could not easily be overtaken, even with Hou Ming’s one thousand five hundred troops.

Capturing an entire Camp is not the same as killing two Cold Resistance Levels.

But Zhaoyang achieved it with apparent ease.

The amazement turned to wariness in their hearts.

Of course, their current anxiety paled in comparison to the joy brought by ’Lin Ye’ as he arrived with Chen and Wu.

”Brother Lin, leave no survivors. Li Xuantiang, Peng Bo, He Tu, and this Cold Resistance Level of Long Mountain, all are threats that must be eliminated...”

Before Wu Xiong could finish his sentence, Peng Bo had already charged at Chen Yingyuan.

”Brother Chen, I do not care about the issues with Long Mountain and Zhaoyang, but please, those three children must be entrusted to me. Peng Bo owes you a tremendous favor, which will definitely be repaid in the future!”

As it turned out, during their escape, Li Xuantiang and He Tu led the way while Peng Zu, Liu Ming, and Qin Feng, the three children, were left in the care of Chen Yingyuan.

Chen Yingyuan looked at the baby in his arms and the two children held by his left arm. He raised his head to see the desperate pleading in Peng Bo’s eyes, causing him to hesitate.

He had good relations with Peng Bo, and there had never been any discord between the Beehive and Yang Lu, so he should have handed the three children over to Peng Bo.

But his situation now was different from before.

Chen Yingba had just stated that with Zhaoyang capturing the Beehive, his entire family, along with over thirty thousand people at the Camp, had inevitably fallen under Zhaoyang’s control. Like Chen Yingba and Wu Tianxing, he could only act on ’Lin Ye’s command.

Returning the children would please Peng Bo.

But what about his own family?

Understanding the stakes, Chen Yingyuan eventually could only express an apologetic look to Peng Bo, and then turned to ’Lin Ye’, handing over the baby and two children without uttering a word.

”Leader Chen, truly a wise man!”

Yuwen Dao took the baby and two children, noticing their exceptionally high body temperatures. An initial look of surprise quickly turned into a smile as he turned to Peng Bo, quietly saying, ”Don’t worry, Leader Peng, as long as you follow my orders...”

Whoosh......

Suddenly, a gust of wind swept past Yuwen Dao.

A man in black had snatched all three children.

The masked person was none other than Yuan Cheng, who had just saved Peng Bo.

”Who goes there!”

Yuwen Dao looked at the masked Yuan Cheng with an expression of ’anger’, unable to react in time and showing his frustration.

Wu Ying and Han Jiuli were furious. What was within their grasp had flown away. Crucially, Yuan Cheng was believed to be someone from Long Mountain. If he took these three children, then Peng Bo would surely align with Long Mountain too, posing endless trouble.

Chen Yingyuan did not expect ’Lin Ye’ to be so careless. He was both caught off guard and secretly delighted to see the children rescued.

”Leader Peng, let’s go!”

From his first appearance till now, Yuan Cheng finally said a single sentence.

With a face full of joy, Peng Bo turned toward Li Xuantiang, showing a moment of surprise, then quickly followed Yuan Cheng in retreat.

Wu Ying and Han Jiuli would certainly not allow their easy escape, charging forward to stop them. But before they could act, ’Lin Ye’ had already moved ahead, charging toward Li Xuantiang.

”Leader Wu, Li Xuantiang is more important, kill him first!”

With that said, as ’Lin Ye’ rushed toward Li Xuantiang, he also instructed the others beside him: ”Chen Yingyuan, Chen Yingba, Wu Tianxing, you three pursue Peng Bo. No need to capture alive, kill directly!”

On their side, they had four Cold Resistance Levels, plus ’Lin Ye’ making five.

Killing Li Xuantiang was undoubtedly feasible!

If they could eliminate this second young master, it would be a major blow to Long Mountain.

Wu Ying and Han Jiuli exchanged glances, seeing that Chen Yingyuan and the others were truly going after Peng Bo, and joined ’Lin Ye’ in rushing toward Li Xuantiang.

Surrounded by five people outside a building, Li Xuantiang’s face was already extremely somber. Initially, four of them had come to scout Yang Lu. Now Peng Bo had fled, Chen Yingyuan had defected, leaving only himself and He Tu.

Moreover, being besieged by five, escape was uncertain.

The situation deteriorated this quickly!

”Second Young Master, it’s not wise to resist. All the Earth-digging Realm from Wushuang and Hanqiong are in the surrounding buildings. It’s getting dark; we must find a way to escape...”

Hearing He Tu’s words, Li Xuantiang looked up at the sky, realizing the sun was almost set, his expression growing even darker.

”Don’t worry, Second Young Master, even if it costs my life...”

Li Xuantiang sensed something amiss in He Tu’s words, instinctively wanting to interrupt, but there was no need as ’Lin Ye’ and his five allies had already charged forward.
