Chapter Thirty-Four: Are You Blind? Someone’s Being Bullied? Throw Them Out!
Page (1/3)
After hearing them, Li Yan spat disdainfully, then pointed at their noses and began to curse them out.
“Are you blind? They were the ones who came looking for trouble with me first. Can’t you see that? And you’re talking about unity? Is there any need to unite with people like them?”
Unexpectedly, when Lin Yanbai and Zhou Mo heard this, they burst into unrestrained laughter.
Lin Yanbai then said to him, “Let us tell you. These people are all on our side, so naturally they’ll speak in our favor. We came here today to settle an old score with you.
“When we heard that you had been chosen for the Doomsday Game, we figured that if you died there, we would let the matter go. But we never expected you to be so tough. You actually made it back alive. Now this debt must be settled.”
Li Yan frowned and surveyed the scene. There were roughly twenty people, most of them tall and powerfully built. He had no idea how strong they were in combat.
Still, they were only ordinary people. It should be worth a try.
Without replying, he immediately launched an attack using his energy.
At first, these people could not withstand Li Yan’s attacks at all.
As time passed, only the stronger fighters remained. Energy also coursed through their bodies, allowing them to contend with Li Yan.
The battle between Li Yan and the others reached a stalemate.
The weaker ones simply collapsed to the ground.
Cold sweat streamed down Li Yan’s face, and his entire body felt limp and powerless. Even so, he stubbornly held on. He refused to surrender just like this.
Secretly, Li Yan summoned the power of the uncanny. With it, he easily defeated the remaining opponents.
They were sent flying and crashed to the ground.
After sensing Li Yan’s energy and seeing his condition, the others retreated as far from him as possible.
They kept muttering, “This is bad. That guy is actually half-infected.”
They continued backing away, hoping to escape.
Yet Lin Yanbai and Zhou Mo, who were standing beside Li Yan, showed no fear at all.
The two of them coordinated their attacks and charged at Li Yan.
When they saw that Li Yan’s eyes had turned red, they even began teasing him.
But in the space of a single second, Li Yan had already teleported in front of them. He seized them by the backs of their necks and hurled them toward each other.
They collided face-first.
Then they covered themselves in pain.

They were stunned. Was this really the strength a human being should possess?
They wanted to run, but Li Yan felt that if he did not vent this anger, they would come after him again sooner or later.
He immediately erected barriers all around them.
Not a single one of them could escape.
Li Yan smiled at them. “Come on. Keep hitting me.”
At that moment, Li Yan looked like a madman, laughing with terrifying abandon. Yet no one dared to lay a finger on him.
They all watched him timidly from a distance.
Li Yan laughed. These bullies who preyed on the weak and feared the strong—if he had not possessed some strength of his own, they would have ruined him today.
He rolled his wrists and ankles, then began sizing them up.
Li Yan’s face was dark, and murderous intent shone in his eyes.
The people around him felt a chill run down their spines just from looking at him. They dropped to their knees and repeatedly bowed their heads against the ground, begging him to spare them.
Li Yan could not understand it. With so many zombies outside, how did they have the leisure to come looking for trouble with him?
Even he had to remain constantly vigilant whenever he went outside, lest he be bitten again.
He quickly reached Lin Yanbai, grabbed him by the collar, and asked viciously, “Tell me. Who sent you to cause trouble for me? Otherwise, I’ll kill you.”
Lin Yanbai struggled desperately, trembling with fear. No matter what, he refused to speak.
Seeing that Lin Yanbai would not say a word, Li Yan grew even angrier. He threw Lin Yanbai away.
Lin Yanbai landed face-first and sprawled in the dirt like a dog.
After tossing him aside, Li Yan strode straight toward Zhou Mo.
He then hauled Zhou Mo up from where he had been kneeling and bowing.
Clamping a hand tightly around Zhou Mo’s neck, Li Yan asked again, “Who exactly sent you to cause trouble for me?”
Zhou Mo had originally intended to keep his mouth shut as well, but he was terrified that Li Yan would really strangle him to death if he refused to answer.
He could only stammer, “Let go of me. I’ll talk. I’ll tell you everything.”
Upon hearing this, Li Yan released him.
Then he waited expectantly for Zhou Mo’s answer.
Zhou Mo hesitated for a while, glancing at the others. In the end, he decided to speak.
With a helpless sigh, he said to Li Yan, “It was our leader, Lin Hang. He had known for some time that a powerful figure had appeared here—you.
“At first, he wanted to summon you over and have you join his alliance. But you refused the first time, and that was when you made an enemy of him.
“After learning that you had returned from the Doomsday Game, he sent us to cause trouble for you and seize your supplies.”

Li Yan grew even angrier after hearing Zhou Mo’s explanation.
He thought carefully and realized that something like this had indeed happened.
It was just that the alliance’s name had been unimpressive and its level low, so he had never taken it seriously. He had rejected it outright. He had never expected that such an unintentional act would bring an enemy down upon him.
Li Yan found the whole thing utterly ridiculous.
He thought for a while, but could not decide how to retaliate against them.
Then a dull pain suddenly stirred in his chest. The voice of the boss from earlier echoed in his mind:
“Bring people back within an hour, or you die.”
Li Yan pretended to remain calm and endured the pain, making sure Lin Yanbai and the others noticed nothing unusual.
Yet the warning gave him a better idea.
He smiled at Lin Yanbai and the others. “Take me to see Lin Hang.”
The group found Li Yan’s words unbelievable.
They had never expected him to be willing to return with them and meet Lin Hang.
When Li Yan saw that they did not respond, he assumed they were unwilling to take him to Lin Hang.
He frowned and deliberately said, “If you don’t take me to see Lin Hang, then you can all die here.”
The others immediately grew frightened again, trembling uncontrollably.
Lin Yanbai ingratiatingly walked over to Li Yan and said with a beaming smile, “We’ll take you there right away. Please don’t kill us.”
Li Yan nodded. He studied Lin Yanbai for a moment. Although the man appeared frightened on the surface, the corners of his mouth seemed unable to keep from rising.
Li Yan had no idea what that meant.
He removed the barriers.
The group led Li Yan toward the alliance’s base.
Unfortunately, they encountered many zombies along the way, but the group joined forces and dealt with them all.
They arrived safely at the alliance base.
There, Li Yan met Lin Hang.
Lin Hang greeted him with a broad smile and shook his hand. Then he said, “Mr. Li, I have long awaited the pleasure of meeting you. Now that I have finally seen you, I can say that your reputation is truly well deserved.”
Li Yan had no interest in exchanging pleasantries. He smiled and said directly to Lin Hang, “Mr. Lin, you flatter me. Since this is our first meeting, why don’t you do me the honor of joining me for a meal?”
