Thirty minutes ago, after I left the hotel, Hou Libang immediately went to knock on the doors of the new students.
Since they had all gotten drunk earlier in the afternoon, they were sprawled out sleeping in their hotel rooms. By the time Hou Libang ran over to knock on the doors, each of them was still inside.
It took almost ten minutes for Hou Libang to gather everyone together. They then grabbed their gear and set off to meet me.
Although we new students were left at the hotel by the military, they did not restrict our freedom. In fact, they didn’t even assign anyone to guard us; they simply monitored us through the watches on our wrists.
As for the military forces, after escorting us near the county town, they headed into the deep mountains behind Baishan Village to track down Elder Cai and his group. Aside from three or four logistics soldiers responsible for communications, there were no other military personnel in the county town.
After Hou Libang and his group exited the hotel, they initially planned to flag down a few taxis on the roadside to reach me as quickly as possible. However, after standing by the road for seven or eight minutes without seeing a single taxi pass by, it felt a bit unusual compared to normal.
Hou Libang turned to the new students beside him and gave them a knowing glance before saying, “Brothers, have you noticed that there are a few thugs over there at eleven o'clock who keep sneaking glances at us?”
Xie Weiwei subtly glanced in Hou Libang's direction, a cold glint flashing in his eyes. He placed his right hand on the sabre at his waist and spoke in a chilling tone, “What’s up with those thugs? Do they want to pull something on us? Should we just take them out?”
Ever since Xie Weiwei personally killed Zhang Guanghua, he had been exuding a strong Killing Intent. His character had subtly changed as well, becoming more Insidious and Vicious.
However, Xie Weiwei's self-control was still quite strong; he managed to restrain his impulsive feelings. If this situation continued to develop, it wouldn’t be long before Xie Weiwei's emotions stabilized.
Upon hearing Xie Weiwei's suggestion, Hou Libang and the others shared similar thoughts. After taking down that large group of Corpses, they were filled with a restless rage. The only way to alleviate their feelings was through fighting.
Hou Libang nodded lightly, looking seriously at Xie Weiwei as he said, “Xie Weiwei, there's no need to be so extreme. Let’s go check out the situation first. If it comes down to it and we have no choice but to act, then we will.”
After they made their plan, they no longer waited for a ride by the roadside. They turned in unison and quickly surrounded the group of thugs.
"Not good, we've been spotted! Let's get out of here!" The thugs, already outnumbered, saw the determined approach of Hou Libang and his companions and immediately turned to flee, not daring to stay any longer.
"We still need to extract information from them; don't let them get away!" As Hou Libang assessed the situation, a sense of foreboding washed over him. If the thugs weren't guilty, they wouldn't be running away. The key now was to find out who was targeting them.
The physical fitness of the thugs was average. At first, it wasn't obvious that there was a gap between the two sides as they began to escape. However, within just five minutes, the thugs were already sweating profusely and panting heavily, their speed gradually slowing down.
In contrast, for Hou Libang and his group, this level of exertion was merely a warm-up. A thin layer of sweat appeared on their foreheads, and their eyes sparkled with determination as their pursuit instinctively quickened.
Feeling the pressure behind them, the thugs exchanged glances and one of them said, "Let's split up! Whoever can get away will rely on their own skills."
In an instant, the thugs scattered in different directions. Some darted into a dark alley nearby, while others rushed into shops along the roadside, hoping to escape through the back doors. The scene became chaotic.
Hou Libang and his companions exchanged glances and quickly formulated a plan. Hou Libang pointed at one thug with green-dyed hair who had fled into the left alley and said, "I'll take care of that one. You guys go after the others. Let's meet back where we were waiting for a ride once I'm done."
The others nodded in agreement without objections. They quickly confirmed their targets; since they had more people, at least two would pursue each thug, while Hou Libang acted alone.
Before they split up, Xie Weiwei looked at Hou Libang with a grin and joked, "Hou Libang, you’re quick on your feet alone; don’t keep us waiting too long. If you’re not back in twenty minutes, we’ll assume that thug took you down. Haha, you better work hard!"
"Hmph! With this kind of trash, I can take him down in three minutes. You should worry about yourselves!" Hou Libang shot Xie Weiwei a confident glance before turning to chase after the thug with green hair.
About five minutes later, Hou Libang finally caught up with the thug. He leaped forward and delivered a powerful kick that sent the thug crashing to the ground.
"Run again, huh? Aren't you the fast one? Why aren't you running now?" Hou Libang panted heavily after kicking the thug away, slowly approaching him step by step.
The thug quickly scrambled to his feet, pulling out a switchblade and brandishing it threateningly at Hou Libang's chest. "Don't come any closer, Fatty! Why are you chasing me? I don't even know you."
In that instant when the thug revealed his weapon, Hou Libang lunged forward, grabbing the thug's wrist with one hand and the knife's handle with the other. With a powerful twist, he broke the thug's wrist, snatching the switchblade away in the process.
"Ah! Fatty, what are you doing? I have connections! If you touch me, my boss won't let you off!" The thug screamed in pain, fear evident in his eyes as he desperately tried to pull his right hand back.
A glint of determination flashed in Hou Libang's eyes. He seized the thug's arm and thrust his body forward, executing a shoulder throw that slammed the thug hard onto the ground. Hou Libang then sat on top of him, catching his breath as he patted the thug's head. "Why are you in such a hurry to leave? I still have some questions for you. Let's have a good chat."
