Transcending Worlds: I Have an Invincible Shelter
Chapter 9: The Liar
A good mood fueled Su Yuyang's interest, and he turned around to pick up the camera that had been charging for a while.
After connecting to his phone, Su Yuyang lay lazily on the sofa and carefully reviewed the surveillance footage.
What he was most concerned about was the time difference between the real world and the wasteland world, and whether his body in the real world would remain in the same place when he traveled between them.
In the video footage, he was hiding under the tree canopy. The moment the light came on and his figure suddenly disappeared, Su Yuyang finally breathed a sigh of relief.
The surveillance footage clearly shows that his body has disappeared.
Having confirmed this, Su Yuyang's worries completely vanished, and a relieved smile appeared on his face.
As long as his body can travel completely, he won't have to worry about his safety in the real world and can confidently go to the wasteland. As for the real world, he should make some plans for it.
Su Yuyang lay on the sofa, looking at the cramped rented room, becoming more and more dissatisfied.
......
The moment Su Yuyang was engulfed by the multicolored light, the dozen or so survivors of the Night Watch camp remained frozen in place, their faces still showing shock, their eyes fixed on the empty space where the light had dissipated.
The lingering heat of the explosion still filled the air, carrying a faint smell of gunpowder, but the figure who had just stood in front of them, braving the RPG with his bare hands, seemed to have never been there.
On the empty stone-paved road, only large areas of scattered gravel remained.
Where are they? Where are they?
A clear yet furious voice suddenly rang out, breaking the deathly silence.
In the crowd, a tall, slender young woman stepped forward, her watery eyes fixed on Song Ruhai, her anger rising steadily.
"Song Ruhai, he took our Blood Energy Crystals! Those were something my father risked his life for. How could he just disappear into thin air and abandon us?"
The girl's name is Lin Yizhi. She escaped with Song Ruhai and others when the Night Watch camp was attacked by the Ash Earth camp.
Stared at intently by Lin Yizhi, Song Ruhai looked embarrassed and bewildered. He staggered forward two steps, his voice stammering.
"This, this, I, I don't know either... I really don't know why he suddenly disappeared. He was right in front of us, and then he vanished in the next second..."
He was more anxious than anyone else. Su Yuyang was their only lifeline, and now that he was missing, the people from the Jintu Camp could come after them at any time. They had no power to resist.
But he really couldn't explain Su Yuyang's sudden disappearance. The bizarre scene was beyond anything he had ever known in his more than ten years of living in the wasteland.
Shen Changge slowly stood up, leaning against the wall. His face was still pale, but he was more composed than the others. He tugged at Lin Yizhi's arm and said in a deep voice.
"Lin Yizhi, now is not the time to be angry. Since he can withstand an RPG, he must be a high-level talent from outside the ruins."
Song Ruhai also snapped out of his daze and quickly nodded in agreement, urgently saying to everyone, "Yes! Don't panic, everyone. Our most important thing now is to get out of here as soon as possible!"
The people from the Ash Earth camp have only been scared away temporarily; they might be coming back soon. If we stay here, they'll catch us sooner or later!
The words "Ember Camp" struck everyone's hearts like a boulder.
The anger on everyone's faces vanished instantly, replaced by deep fear. The roar of the RPG explosion still echoed in their ears; they knew all too well the brutality of the Ash Earth camp.
Lin Yizhi gritted her teeth, finally suppressing her anger. She glared at the spot where Su Yuyang had disappeared, muttered "liar" under her breath, and then turned to follow the others.
Before long, more than a dozen ragged figures, like startled birds, hurriedly ran away into the distance and quickly disappeared into the depths of the gray-yellow smog.
Meanwhile, deep in the gray-yellow haze to the east, the group from the Ash Earth Camp were slumped down on a pile of rubble in a sorry state.
They were all panting heavily, their clothes soaked with sweat and dust, their faces filled with exhaustion and fear, and many of them had cuts from the rubble, oozing dark red blood.
The leader was a middle-aged man with a scar on his face, a hideous scar extending from his brow bone to his nose. He glanced at his disheveled subordinates with a sinister look.
"Go to hell!" The scarred middle-aged man was furious and kicked a blond-haired youth next to him hard in the back.
"You idiot! How could I have such a stupid subordinate as you!"
Scarface's voice was hoarse and violent as he kicked again, "Who told you to fire the RPG? How many times have I told you to capture those night watchmen and enslave them, to squeeze every last drop of value out of them! And what did you do? One RPG almost wiped us out!"
The blond-haired man was kicked and rolled around repeatedly, blood spilling from the corner of his mouth, but he dared not resist in the slightest. He could only curl up on the ground, trembling and covering his head.
"Are you deaf to my words, or do you just want to be in charge?"
Scarface was still not satisfied. He took a step forward and kicked the blond-haired man again, more than thirty times, until he caught his breath. Then he sat down on the ground cursing.
"You've really ruined my life!"
Scarface exhaled a thick smoke ring, his eyes filled with heartache. "An RPG, that's incredibly valuable! I saved up supplies for half a month to exchange for it, and you, you idiot, just wasted it!"
He knew very well that the camp had strict rules, and if the captain found out that he had wasted such a precious weapon, he would be severely punished.
He would never take the blame for a blond-haired henchman.
Scarface slowly raised his head, his gaze sweeping over the group of men who had fled back before him. His eyes instantly turned vicious, and he warned them in an icy tone.
"Remember this! This whole thing was this kid's idea! He fired the cannon without permission, wasting the camp's rockets!"
"When we get back, if the captain punishes you, you all know what to say. Anyone who dares to utter a word, I'll be the first to kill them!"
The subordinates all shrank back and nodded in agreement, none of them daring to object.
At the Ash Earth camp, Scarface was ruthless; offending him was more dangerous than offending the captain.
Yellow Hair slumped to the ground, looking at Scarface's sinister eyes and then at his silent companions, and instantly understood what was going on.
Scarface is trying to make him a scapegoat.
Yellow Hair trembled all over, then knelt down with a thud, pleading, "Brother Shi, please forgive me! I know I was wrong, I'll never do it again!"
If you promise me, I can take all the blame myself!
Scarface glanced at him, a mocking smile playing on his lips. He took a drag of his cigarette, slowly exhaled, gently patted the blond-haired man's shoulder, and then slapped him across the face.
"Snap!" The sound was crisp and loud!
Immediately following was the scarred man's furious voice, "Fine, you dare threaten me! You really want to die? If you want to die, that's easy, I'll grant your wish."
Huang Mao realized he had misspoke and hurriedly corrected himself, saying, "It was my fault for being tactless. Please forgive me this time, Brother Shi."
As he spoke, he kept slapping his mouth, the sound unusually crisp in the gray-yellow smog, which quickly attracted many mutated zombies.
