Mingyue, amidst the attacks of the ability users, discovered that three of them possessed the same power as the one left within He Si.
She then used her mental powers to restrain the three ability users in mid-air, intending to avenge He Si.
The three were so terrified by Mingyue's methods that they were beyond coherent thought, let alone answering her questions.
"It's these three. I recognize them. It was them. Outside the supply station, they beat Uncle He."
Seeing the three remain silent, Bu Zhi, who had followed them out, pointed at the ability users and identified them.
With a witness, Mingyue no longer cared if they admitted it or not. Three soft pops echoed in the air.
A rain of blood fell as the three individuals exploded one after another, leaving no intact flesh behind.
"Ah!"
This scene was witnessed by He Shi, who stumbled out at that moment. She screamed in terror and ran towards the villa's gate.
The remaining ability users were also stunned by the bloody spectacle and scrambled to escape, desperate to leave this horrifying place.
"Trying to leave? Too late. Weren't you looking for an explanation from me? And now you want to leave?"
Mingyue clasped her hands, and all the ability users, along with He Shi who had reached the door, were all immobilized by her. They stood stiffly in the courtyard.
"You want my father to kowtow and apologize, right? You want my space, right? Fine!
My father only slapped Ren Youbei because she pushed him too far, yet she wanted his life.
Those three ability users injured his internal organs while beating him. If I hadn't discovered it early, he would have died.
How do we settle this? According to your logic, a slap warrants my space.
Then, for the injuries my father sustained, should the entire Yuncheng Base be compensation? Do you think that's acceptable?"
Mingyue walked up to He Shi and spoke word by word, her smile still on her face.
But to He Shi, Mingyue now appeared like a devil ready to devour her. Helpless, her body was restrained, and she couldn't even dodge.
Although Mingyue hadn't restrained her mouth, her lips trembled, and she was so frightened that her teeth chattered, unable to utter a coherent sentence.
"Not talking, are we? Then you'll pay some interest first. Your suggestion was excellent, having my father kowtow and apologize to Ren Youbei.
Then you'll go first, representing your mother, and kowtow to my father to apologize."
As Mingyue's words fell, He Shi felt her body sink, and she involuntarily knelt down.
She let out a wail, for Mingyue would not allow her to kneel gently.
The immense pressure caused her knees to slam violently against the bluestone slabs of the ground, shattering them.
"Mingyue, it's all a misunderstanding. Please show mercy."
The villa's courtyard gate burst open, and a figure flashed out, rushing to He Shi's side. It was Bu Ying, who had rushed over upon hearing the news.
"Bu Ying, you've arrived just in time. My father was injured by your people within the base. Both publicly and privately, you owe me an explanation."
Having learned about the operational methods of Yuncheng Base, Mingyue harbored no good feelings towards Bu Ying.
Seeing him appear, Mingyue's face was frosty, her eyes sharp, and she spoke sternly.
"A misunderstanding, all a misunderstanding. Mingyue, please calm down first.
There are ways to resolve everything. Why resort to violence? Release them first, and we can discuss matters.
We are all family. Can't we sit down and talk calmly?"
Bu Ying regained the demeanor he had on the way to the base. He squatted on the ground, cradling He Shi in his arms, and looked up at Mingyue as he spoke.
"No, we can't. If you want me to release them, if you want to talk, then Ren Youbei must come first and kowtow to my father to apologize.
And bring that supply station staff member along, then we can talk about how to resolve it. Otherwise, everything is off the table."
Knowing who Bu Ying was, Mingyue paid no attention to these petty tricks and stated her demands directly.
Seeing that Mingyue was unmoved by any means, Bu Ying had no choice but to stand up and wave to the subordinates who had followed him.
Soon, several people returned, bringing Ren Youbei and the staff member to the villa.
"Xiao Shi, what's wrong with you? You bitch, did you do this? I'll fight you to the death!"
Seeing He Shi's pathetic state, Ren Youbei lunged at her. He Shi seemed stunned and said nothing, so Ren Youbei lunged at Mingyue.
Since the apocalypse, Mingyue had never attacked an ordinary person, as she did not bully the weak.
But seeing Ren Youbei's wild and flailing demeanor, and thinking of He Si, if she hadn't discovered it early and happened to have the Water of Life on hand, he would have become a corpse because of this malicious woman.
Mingyue could no longer hold back. The scenes of her tormenting the original host over the years flashed through her mind. Mingyue clenched her fists tightly.
Before Ren Youbei could get close, her body exploded with a bang, turning into a rain of blood. The scent of blood in the courtyard thickened.
"Ah!"
He Shi, who had been in a daze, was splattered with her mother's blood and flesh all over her head and face. She screamed again and fainted.
Ren Youbei's death caught Bu Ying off guard and made him realize that today's events had touched Mingyue's bottom line, and it wouldn't be easily resolved.
Seeing He Shi faint, he ignored her and walked directly to the administrator.
"Lord City Lord, I was wrong. I..."
Seeing Ren Youbei's body explode, the man was utterly terrified. Seeing Bu Ying approach, he quickly knelt and begged for mercy.
However, before he could finish his words, his head was severed by the water blade that materialized in Bu Ying's hand. His body thudded to the side.
"Captain Mingyue, can we release them now and talk?"
Bu Ying smiled charmingly, regaining his composure. The water blade in his hand disappeared.
He conjured a water sphere from thin air, elegantly washing his hands as he spoke.
Mingyue knew his relationship with He Shi. The fact that he had killed Ren Youbei directly in front of her indicated that Mingyue no longer cared about him.
Or rather, she didn't even want to pretend anymore, so there was no need for him to act like a sycophant.
However, his plan had not yet concluded, and he could not openly confront Mingyue. They still needed to leave Yuncheng.
Therefore, after Mingyue killed Ren Youbei, he decisively killed the staff member to show his sincerity.
Now, he regarded Mingyue as a negotiating opponent, and his goal was simple: one.
That was to quell Mingyue's rage and make her stay in Yuncheng Base, at least for a short period.
Mingyue remained silent. With a wave of her hand, she released the restraint and led the members of the Mingyue team into the villa.
Bu Ying arranged for his subordinates to carry He Shi back, then followed them into the villa.
"Mingyue, look, the involved personnel who caused Uncle's injury are all dead. So, this matter ends here.
If we say this was all a misunderstanding, then at its root, it was a mix-up caused by collecting supplies.
In that case, I had already promised to hand over the work of distributing supplies to your team.
I'll arrange for people to hand over the work tomorrow, and you can officially take over. What do you think?"
Bu Ying followed them in. No one paid him any attention. He made himself at home, elegantly sitting opposite Mingyue and speaking.
"City Lord Bu, is this your sincerity in sitting down to talk? To be honest, I'm not satisfied.
Managing and distributing supplies was originally your responsibility, something you had long promised, and it cannot be considered compensation.
The ability users from the supply station who injured my father are all your people.
Can I assume that all of this was arranged by the base, and you were the mastermind?
If you want me to drop this matter, further compensation is required. Otherwise, this matter will not pass."
Mingyue smiled and presented a new condition, causing Bu Ying's expression to change drastically.
