The City of Terror
chapter-280

Chapter 280 – Condition of Injury, Return!

Luckily, Wei Xiao Bei’s health was at 60 points, making his recovery faster than normal people. With just two steps, the blood from his injuries would stop flowing. Afterwards, his flesh would close up the wound and heal his injuries for the greater part.

Even if his bones fractured, Wei Xiao Bei could feel the pain decrease fast. As long as he did not apply a lot of force on his hands, the pain would not be too significant.

After escaping and slowing down, Wei Xiao Bei took out food from the Small Holding Bag. He continued moving while eating.

The return trip might not be safe, so he decided to fill his stomach and decrease the aftereffects of using [Intermediate Power Burst]!

Luckily, whether it was because the farmer’s market had used up a lot of energy to defend or something else entirely, it did not send out monsters to pursue Wei Xiao Bei.

Wei Xiao Bei’s bad luck had disappeared, and good luck had returned. On his way back, he had not even encountered a single Zombie.

When he crossed the wall and saw Zhou Xing Yuan who was leaning on the car door, his fractures had already healed up  alot. As for injuries on the surface, they had mostly healed up, leaving scars behind.

In truth, Zhou Xing Yuan had been startled when Wei Xiao Bei crossed the wall. He immediately placed his hand on his pocket to pull out his gun, but after seeing that it was Wei Xiao Bei, he stopped this thought.

At this moment, Wei Xiao Bei was simply battered and exhausted. His entire body was covered in dust with scars on his hands and face, while his clothes were tattered.

What happened to him?

Zhou Xing Yuan was slightly stunned and thought for a long time.

When did these scars appear in this boy’s body? But it seems that they are about to be healed.

Wei Xiao Bei would naturally not explain his high vitality or similar stuff to Zhou Xin Yuan. When he approached the car, he only asked one thing to Zhou Xing Yuan that almost gave him a heart attack, “Do you want to return to reality?”

His [Intermediate Power Burst] was about to time out, and his body was about to weaken, so he naturally would not stay in the Dust World anymore.

“Want! I want to even in my dreams!”

Zhou Xing Yuan did not know why he would say these kinds of words. For a sole executive of one of the Da Hao Group’s companies, speaking in this kind of incoherent yet exciting tone was a bit shameful.

However, Zhou Xing Yuan was letting out his true thoughts. As long as he could return, then he would pay any price!

Wei Xiao Bei did not strike up a conversation and just taught him how to return. However, before Zhou Xing Yuna left, Wei Xiao Bei asked him for a way to get in touch.

As Zhou Xing Yuan quietly lied down and his body gradually become transparent, Wei Xiao Bei frowned as he saw that the car was also turning transparent.

In his mind, he guessed that the car was something special that could be brought in and out of the Dust World.

It could be said that Zhou Xing Yuan’s luck was not bad. Compared to when Wei Xiao Bei and other people who entered the Dust World for the first time, he was simply more equipped.

He had a car, a gun, and other items inside the car. His chances of survival had completely exceeded Wei Xiao Bei when he first entered.

However, this might not necessarily be a good thing.

Wei Xiao Bei pondered for a while before lying down and closing his eyes as he thought of leaving the Dust World.

……

When Wei Xiao Bei opened his eyes, what entered his vision was an empty room.

After hesitating, he thought back as he remembered that he was in the apartment street.

At this moment, the sky was slowly lighting up. Some of the workers had already woken up as their voices resounded.

When he looked at the time, it was already 6am.

After Wei Xiao Bei left the demolition site and returned back to the street, a lot of street vendors had already opened up their stalls.

Although he was not that hungry, the rich fragrance of soymilk and the sound of cooking youtiao had made him sit in a clean stall.

Wei Xiao Bei happily ate the boiled soymilk with youtiao.

This is the taste of the past.

Following the development of the city, food like soy milk and youtiao had become scarce for a period of time.

The reason was simple. Soy milk and youtiao were cheap and did not provide much profit. Stall owners instead turned to noodles and rice-noodles.

However, the demand had once again increased causing these food to reappear.

When he was small, Wei Xiao Bei loved to eat soy milk and youtiao in the mornings back in the county.

Although it could not satisfy his stomach anymore, eating it from time to time to remember his youth was a pleasurable thing for him.

After eating breakfast, he started the minivan and returned to the dojo.

At this moment, Zhu Xin Yi and Huang Kun were sparing hand-to-hand in the outer practice grounds.

The gap in their strength, agility, and vitality had quickly widened. Thus, when they were fighting, Huang Kun had to suppress his strength.

Seeing Wei Xiao Bei return, they stopped what they were doing and greeted him.

Wei Xiao Bei asked them questions as he wished.

It could be clearly seen that after this time, their confidence had grown after entering the Dust World alone.

Independence was the only way for them to gain confidence.

Children who grew continuously under their parents would be greatly different from those that were able to grow independently, especially in terms of self-confidence.

Previously, when they entered the Dust World together, Zhu Xin Yi and Huang Kun were protected by Wei Xiao Bei so they did not need to ponder things too much.

But now, they were going into the Dust World independently, so they had to think things through.

Where will they go? How they should deal with enemies they encountered? Even things like where they should rest must be taken in consideration.

It could be said that this time the both of them had been tempered a lot.

“Ok, not bad, both of you.”

Wei Xiao Bei praised them. Afterwards, the both of them continued their spar, but the way they did it changed.

Zhu Xin Yi had summoned a Licker.

When Zhu Xin Yi had taken control of this Licker, it had taken her a lot of effort to do so.

Just the fact that Huang Kun had two holes in his body was enough to testify this. Luckily, he was not vitally hit. As for the Zombie Dogs, there was almost none of them left. Even the few seedlings had been torn to shreds.

However, being able to control this Licker was her greatest harvest.

In truth, Wei Xiao Bei had considered the Licker as one of the top monsters in the level of 2-Star Creatures.

Although it was only a 2-Star Elite Creature, it was very fast, and it could treat any terrain, even ceilings, as level ground.

If its brain was not exposed, then it would not be weaker than a 2-Star Terror Creature.

If it was the 2-Star Terror Creature Dang Kang, then it could only take on the role of a meat shield.

It was strong, and it could move fast in a straight line.

However, when against a Licker, it would simply not be able to hit it.

Additionally, after being charmed by Zhu Xin Yi, the Licker’s weakness of having an exposed head had almost disappeared. With other monsters to protect it, the Licker’s killing power had increased to its peak.

What’s more, Zhu Xin Yi still had five saplings left, and each of them possessed a powerful binding ability. If they worked together, then the Licker would be able to easily kill its enemies.

Naturally, in terms of being a meat shield, the Wooden Training Dummy was the best.

However, it seemed that Zhu Xin Yi and Huang Kun both could not enter the area where the Wooden Training Dummies resided. Thus, it would be hard to obtain them.

In short, if Zhu Xin Yi continued to grow steadily like this and controlled a few more Lickers, then her power would soar easily.

However, even if that was so, Zhu Xin Yi was still diligently training in Bajiquan. This made Wei Xiao Bei somewhat gratified.

If Zhu Xin Yi continued like this, then her future potential was unimaginable.

As for Huang Kun, he was a bit inferior to Zhu Xin Yi.

He was only a 13 year old after all. His nature had not yet stabilized so reaching this point was already not bad.

Afterwards, Wei Xiao Bei went into the kitchen, cooked food, and placed them in the refrigerator. Then he called out to the both of them and made a phone call to Zhou Xing Yuan while he was in the outer practice ground.

Zhou Xing Yuan became unhappy that his phone was ringing.

After leaving the Dust World, Zhou Xing Yuan’s excitement was not able to settle down, resulting in him going to his mistress.

To celebrate that he had escaped from such a terrifying place, he did it three times.

At this moment, he had just finished taking back, and his excitement had subsided. When he yawned and was able to go to sleep, his phone suddenly rang.

What appeared was a stranger’s number.

“Who?” He spoke with dissatisfaction.

He originally did not want to answer, but he was worried that something might happen so he could not help but answer it. Naturally, he was secretly letting out his hate that if it was not an important matter he would beat up the bastard that was calling him!

However, he never imagined that a familiar male voice came from the other side of the phone, “Zhou Xing Yuan? It’s me Wei Xiao Bei.”

In an instant, his experience of the Dust World that he had thrown to the back of his head had once again resurfaced.

“Oh, its brother Wei. What’s the matter?”

Zhou Xing Yuan was stunned. He was afraid that he might have carelessly offended Wei Xiao bei and immediately softened his tone. Even his way of addressing had changed to ‘brother’.

This way of adapting was something that he had cultivated. If not, how could he reach such a position in society.

“There are some things that I need to tell you.”

Wei Xiao Bei downplayed his words.

“Okay, where do you think would be a suitable location?”

Wei Xiao Bei had downplayed his words, but Zhou Xing Yuan did not dare become half-hearted.

Afterwards, they had agreed to meet in a coffee shop.
