The Coming Storm

Yun Ye woke up feeling refreshed, his condition restored to its peak.

After getting out of bed and quickly washing up, Yun Ye pushed open the main door and stepped outside.

The moment he walked out the door, Yun Ye's brow furrowed. His sharp senses detected something unusual on the island...

Noisy sounds could be heard from a distance.

Yun Ye followed the sounds for a while, arriving at a small village in the back mountains.

Calling it a village was generous; it was home to only a few dozen families. The houses were simple wooden structures, quite rudimentary.

Despite its small size, the village had all the essentials and was considered part of the security zone...

However, it was separate from the town, and the townsfolk referred to it as a "backwater village."

Yun Ye had been living in this village since he was rescued.

In the beginning, Yun Ye hadn't figured out how to use the system and was completely helpless.

Back then, even getting enough to eat was a major problem for Yun Ye. He only managed to get through that difficult period thanks to the villagers' help...

Yun Ye saw a group of people gathered ahead, discussing something anxiously.

Having become quite familiar with the residents here, Yun Ye walked up to a middle-aged man and asked, "Uncle Ahan, what happened? Why is everyone gathered here?"

"Oh, it's young Yun. It's like this..."

This middle-aged man, named Ahan, recounted the events to Yun Ye, sighing heavily at the end, "We want the village chief to leave with us, but he absolutely refuses."

Yun Ye understood what Ahan was saying.

The islanders had somehow learned that Germa 66 was planning to attack the island, and everyone was panicking.

The news of Germa 66's conquest of four kingdoms had been published in newspapers and spread throughout the North Blue. Faced with such a terrifying power, anyone would feel fear.

Let alone ordinary civilians.

Some people had already decided to leave the island by boat to seek refuge.

However, there were stubborn old folks in the village who refused to leave. They believed that they were born here and wished to be buried in their homeland, fearing that their souls would have nowhere to go otherwise.

Moreover, they were too old to endure any hardship and just wanted to stay peacefully on the island, not wanting to go anywhere.

It was precisely because of the stubbornness of these elders that the adults in the village were trying to persuade them.

Seeing this, Yun Ye smiled and said, "Uncle Ahan, aren't there Navy soldiers stationed on the island? Why do we need to worry about this sort of thing? Besides, I'm here too! You all know my strength, I'll protect you!"

Upon hearing Yun Ye's words, Ahan shook his head and gave a wry smile. "I know you're strong, young Yun, but the situation is different now. This isn't some wild beast; it's an evil organization that once annihilated four kingdoms. How could you possibly be their match?"

Although they had all witnessed Yun Ye's strength, even the wild beasts on the mountain were no match for him.

But now, they were facing an evil organization like Germa 66. How could Yun Ye possibly deal with them?

In Ahan's mind, perhaps even the Navy couldn't contend with such a force!

Ahan had once ventured out with a merchant group for a period, experiencing many powerful forces and formidable individuals.

It was precisely because of this that he knew the terrifying nature of Germa 66!

Staying on the island was simply too dangerous!

Yun Ye didn't argue, merely shrugging with a smile.

The strength he had displayed in front of them was only a fraction of his true power. It was natural for Ahan to have such thoughts.

However, at this moment, a young girl with bandages wrapped around her face and a missing sleeve stepped forward, defending Yun Ye. "Uncle Ahan, how can you speak about Big Brother Yun Ye like that? You... you, you're..."

The young girl wanted to retort to Ahan but couldn't find the right words, so she pouted and said indignantly, "If you're like this, I won't talk to you anymore!"

"You little rascal!" Ahan could only smile wryly at the girl's words, but when he looked at her, his eyes revealed a hint of pity.

"Xiaoya, Uncle Ahan wasn't talking about me. He's just worried about our safety." Yun Ye walked up to the little girl, smiling as he patted her head. "How are you now? Does your arm still hurt?"

This young girl named Xiaoya was the one who had been injured by members of the Evil Wolf Gang when she went to sell goods in town.

Hearing this, Xiaoya's eyes dimmed slightly, but perhaps not wanting to worry anyone, she quickly regained her spirits and flashed a bright smile. "I'm fine now! Thanks to the village chief's treatment, it doesn't hurt anymore!"

At the young girl's words, everyone present fell silent.

The atmosphere became somewhat heavy.

Some even muttered curses under their breath, "Those thugs from the Chaos Zone deserve to die!"

"I heard this morning that those guys got what they deserved. They were all killed, which is really satisfying!"

"It's just a shame about Xiaoya..."

"If that person had acted sooner, Xiaoya wouldn't have suffered like this."

Hearing the words of these uncles and aunties, Xiaoya couldn't help but wave her hands. "Don't worry about me, I don't hurt anymore!"

After speaking, Xiaoya turned her gaze to Yun Ye.

Yesterday, after Big Brother Yun Ye asked who did it, he had gone out with a grim expression, saying, "I'll go get revenge for Xiaoya."

Then, today, the news came that those people had been eliminated.

'Could it be that Big Brother Yun Ye did it?'

Xiaoya cautiously looked toward Yun Ye, only to see him looking back. He then brought an index finger to his lips, making a shushing gesture.

It really is Big Brother Yun Ye...

Xiaoya's eyes began to well up, and she was deeply moved, though she forcefully suppressed the urge to cry.

I can't let anyone notice anything unusual. Brother Yun Ye doesn't want anyone to know about this!

Seeing Xiaoya's reddened eyes, Yun Ye assumed she was sad about his arm. He walked over, patted Xiaoya's head, crouched down, looked directly into her eyes, and smiled, "Don't worry, Big Brother will find a way to heal your arm. I'll definitely restore it to how it was!"

The others heard this and smiled faintly. Although they didn't believe such a method existed, they didn't speak up to refute him.

They would just treat it as a beautiful wish!

"Mhm! I believe in you, Big Brother Yun Ye!" Xiaoya pursed her lips and nodded heavily.

Others might not believe Yun Ye's words, but Xiaoya truly believed he had the ability, because Yun Ye had never lied to her!
