Chapter 177 Wind Chimes Made of Corpses

After leaving the farm, Li Tianran didn't forget that Lu Chi was still waiting for him. He first sent the others to a relatively hidden abandoned warehouse, and then went alone to the place he had agreed with Lu Chi.

Just as Li Tianran arrived, he saw Lu Chi faint.

Although Lu Chi had passed out, his right hand was still tightly clutching the strap of a canvas bag, which seemed to contain something very important to him.

Li Tianran walked over, unzipped the canvas bag, and a strong smell of blood rushed towards him.

Inside was a human head.

Ma Xiao's head.

Li Tianran raised his eyebrows.

Lu Chi wasn't bragging; he really did take down the Ma Xiao gang alone, but his injuries were also extremely severe.

His left palm was swollen and charred, and the knife wound he had suffered in his ribs was also inflamed, with a body temperature as high as 40 degrees Celsius. The white blood cell count in his body soared, almost reaching its peak!

Li Tianran licked his lips, becoming even more interested in Lu Chi.

What kind of past did he have to forge such a fierce and tenacious heart?

*Pa!*

Li Tianran directly pried open Lu Chi's mouth, crushed an LV3 Ancient Medicine grade fruit, and stuffed it into his mouth. Then, he carried him on his shoulder and strode away.

Everything in Nancheng had been dealt with; it was time to leave.

…

When Lu Chi woke up again, he felt as if a strong wind was constantly roaring in his ears, with whistling sounds coming.

He barely opened his eyes, his vision slowly focusing, and then he saw several unfamiliar figures in front of him.

"He's awake," a little girl's voice said crisply.

Lu Chi widened his eyes and stared at the front for a full ten seconds before he could see Li Tianran's face in the darkness.

"You really have a big life…" Tang Su said softly.

Lu Chi tried to move his body, and found that the intense pain he had imagined did not appear. He raised his hand and looked at his palm, and found that the charred wound had disappeared long ago, replaced by a piece of soft, new skin.

"I… I survived," Lu Chi gasped softly, his voice filled with a sense of relief. Then, as if thinking of something, he groped around with both hands: "My bag, where's my bag?"

"I saw what was in the bag," Li Tianran said softly. "You did it, I saw it."

Lu Chi finally relaxed completely, and then laughed.

It was a kind of joy of surviving a desperate situation.

Lu Chi, no matter how fierce he was before, was just an ordinary person. Even if he could become king among the wasteland gangs of Nancheng, he wouldn't live much longer than others. But at this moment, his fate had completely changed.

He no longer had to struggle and fight between the ruins and bandits, just to win a little resource for survival. He could embrace a more exciting life.

And all of this had nothing to do with luck; everything he had was earned by his own hands!

"After reaching the destination, I will fulfill my promise," Li Tianran said softly.

He would make Lu Chi an evolver, but not now.

"Destination? Where are we now?" Lu Chi was stunned. Since he woke up, he had found himself in a dark, confined space, and this space seemed to be moving at high speed, with a sense of bumps coming.

Li Tianran glanced at Lu Chi, a slight smile on his lips: "Our current location is… the Nanyang airspace!"

Lu Chi's pupils shrank, and then he blurted out, "Have we left the Yanhuang territory?"

"That's right! Our home in Nancheng was discovered, it's called a strategic transfer…" Hanhan blinked her eyes, and then held up a finger and said, "Big Brother isn't being cowardly or scared!"

Li Tianran raised his eyebrows, picked up a plum and stuffed it into Hanhan's mouth, saying "caringly": "Are you hungry? Eat more!"

Hanhan's little mouth was stuffed with a plum, and her face immediately turned red, making a woozy protest.

Li Tianran was too lazy to argue with Hanhan, he took a deep breath and asked the adult-level combat warrior who was piloting the helicopter: "How long will it take us to reach Kuangxi Island?"

"According to the flight route, it is still two thousand four hundred kilometers away from Kuangxi Island, and it is expected to reach the destination within nine hours!" The adult-level combat warrior's mechanical voice resounded throughout the cabin.

It was only then that Lu Chi realized he was sitting in a helicopter.

He squinted and looked out the small window behind him, and saw two more helicopters hovering in the dark night sky, with the dark earth below.

Lu Chi's coma lasted a full dozen hours.

When he woke up again, Li Tianran had already left the border with the help of Tianxing-1 satellite and arrived in the territory of the former Cape Kingdom.

Li Tianran looked at the Yanhuang border in the distance through the window, his mood also somewhat complicated.

This was the place that had raised him, but now he had to leave.

He had also thought about sheltering his compatriots and saving his homeland, but everything was too far away for Li Tianran at this time.

All he could do now was develop his own strength and protect the people who were related to him.

He admired those warriors and patriots who sacrificed themselves and gave everything to protect their country, but he could not become such a person.

He was just an ordinary person, unable to be great, unable to be selfless.

"When I come back again, what kind of scene will this be?" Li Tianran looked at the distance, silent for a moment, and silently said in his heart: "Goodbye, Yanhuang!"

…

Overnight, the next day, the sky gradually brightened again.

After a night of galloping, the helicopter had already seen the looming outline of the island ahead.

Li Tianran was energetic.

Some ruins of buildings could be vaguely seen on the island. Soon, the helicopter reached the sky above the island and chose to land on a relatively flat area.

Li Tianran, Hanhan, Tang Su, and Lu Chi jumped out of the helicopter, and Professor Nan, Ding Lu, and others also walked out of the other two helicopters.

Everyone gathered together, looking at this completely unfamiliar environment. This would be everyone's new home in the future.

"Kuangxi Island is divided into the North District and the South District, covering a total area of 578 square kilometers. The North District is a relatively prosperous tourist area, while the South District is the undeveloped mining area…" Qin Yiming took out an electronic map, called up the map of Kuangxi Island on the screen, and marked some important locations with icons. Then, he said: "I suggest that our garrison location should still be in the South District, because it is close to the mining area, and it has natural dangers as a barrier behind the mountains! Secondly, the North District has been destroyed, and the former tourist attraction is no longer as beautiful as it used to be. There are also a large number of ruins that need to be cleaned up, which is very troublesome to organize!"

Li Tianran was silent for a moment. He did not intend to treat Kuangxi Island as a temporary foothold, but planned to build it carefully, so the ruins of the North District would definitely have to be cleaned up, but given the time constraints, choosing the South District as a foothold for the time being was the most appropriate.

"Just do as you said." Li Tianran nodded and said calmly: "Adult-level combat warriors and patrol radars, immediately conduct a comprehensive inspection of Kuangxi Island. If you find any special circumstances, report immediately!"

Adult-level warriors and patrol radars quickly dispersed to the surrounding area. Li Tianran stood here, looking at this magnificent island in front of him.

His grand plan was about to begin here!

"Didi di!" Not long after, the patrol guard sent back a photo, and Li Tianran opened it directly.

When he saw the picture, Li Tianran froze for a full ten seconds.

It was a construction area in the North District of Kuangxi Island. On the outer craft window sills of each floor and each room of the tallest twenty-eight-story Blue Sea Hotel in the city center, there were several human corpses hanging. From a distance, the outside of the building was covered with densely packed human corpses. The four walls added up to nearly ten thousand!

Most importantly, each of these human corpses had several steel pipes tied to their ankles.

The sea breeze in the distance blew, and a large number of corpses swayed gently with the wind. The steel pipes on their ankles collided gently, making a crisp and pleasant sound, like… a strange wind chime made of corpses.

Li Tianran heard the ticking collision sound coming with the wind.

This was an artwork full of blood and perversion.

It was not difficult to judge from the messy claw marks on the wall that this was the work of the Beast King.

Li Tianran closed his eyes. He suddenly felt that this island was not as calm as it seemed on the surface. It seemed that it would not be as simple as he imagined to take over this island smoothly.
