Killing Into It

This era makes it really hard to go out without a vehicle, especially since Lu Li is crippled.

Fortunately, Xiao Cha is at the Great Perfection stage of Bone Forging, possessing the strength of a weightlifter and the explosive power of a sprinter. Her physical condition has reached the limit for mortals.

She pulled the flatbed cart with surprising speed, her rounded hips swaying left and right as she happily ran at 30 kilometers per hour.

This made Lu Li feel a bit bumpy, and he had to hold onto the edge of the cart tightly.

One hour later, the two arrived at Guo Zhuang outside the city.

It was a courtyard house, about half the size of a football field.

It was surrounded by a brick courtyard wall over ten feet high, with barbed wire on top, resembling a prison.

Xiao Cha was fretting about how to get over the wall, while Lu Li's eyes narrowed. He activated his Heavenly Eye and saw countless human silhouettes through the wall—

"20 adults and several children... and that Organ Refining martial artist is in the largest central hall!"

In Lu Li's vision, one silhouette was particularly dense and bright, likely the greatest threat—Yi Qingchuan.

Xiao Cha looked astonished, "How did you know? Did you open your Heavenly Eye?"

The girl's unintentional words revealed the secret. Lu Li avoided the question and handed her a shotgun.

"Since Yi Qingchuan is here, it means we came to the right place. If we can't sneak in, let's break in."

"But they have so many people, and there's an Organ Refining martial artist..."

Although Xiao Cha took the gun, she hesitated.

Just then, a small door next to the manor's main gate opened, and two burly men came out carrying a straw mat.

Lu Li shuffled over.

Seeing him approach, the two men in green clothes cautiously dropped the mat, pulled out sharp knives from their chests, and shouted from a distance:

"Who are you!"

"State your names!"

Lu Li looked at the straw mat they had discarded and saw several small corpses rolled inside.

Without a word, Lu Li pulled out his shotgun and fired.

With a deafening BOOM, 12 steel balls whistled through the air, tearing a fist-sized bloody hole in one of the men's chests!

The man fell backward, dying without a sound.

They were nearly 30 meters apart. The real range of a shotgun was much farther than in games, and no precise aiming was needed.

With a crisp "click-clack," Lu Li worked the pump to reload. Without looking, he fired again, and the other man also collapsed, spewing blood.

It was only then that Xiao Cha caught up. She and Lu Li went to check the bodies wrapped in the straw mat.

Tong Shao was not among them. Lu Li gently closed the corpses' eyes and covered them again with the mat.

At this moment, chaotic shouts could already be heard from inside the courtyard.

Lu Li held his gun and quickly walked towards the small door. His steps were unsteady, but his back was resolute.

A shotgun is nicknamed the "universal key"; one shot can blast a large hole in a door, making it perfect for breaking in.

Especially wooden doors in this era, which still used wooden bolts. Lu Li raised his gun and blasted the door open, entering directly.

"Who dares trespass! Die!"

A group of men in green, armed with sharp knives, spears, and one holding a door panel, charged forward, shouting.

Most of these human traffickers were at the Bone Forging stage, and their explosive speed was incredible!

Lu Li entered the Concentrating Spirit state, slowing down the enemies, then raised his shotgun and aimed.

Once upon a time, shotguns were considered inhumane weapons, even leading to international lawsuits demanding their prohibition.

These things were meant for wild boars, bears, and other large beasts. Using them on people was indeed too cruel.

But Lu Li found them very effective!

He pulled the trigger repeatedly. Amidst the roars, rows of steel balls whistled through the air, tearing the charging human traffickers into bloody chunks of flesh!

Only the one carrying the door panel was lucky. After the steel balls shattered the panel, they only broke his arm.

The man howled on the ground, clutching his severed limb. His remaining companions turned pale and dodged frantically.

"This firearm is troublesome!"

"Where are our guns! Hurry and get them!"

Lu Li calmly took bullets from his pocket and loaded them into the chamber. After finishing, he casually shot and killed the howling enemy.

Just then, a Type 38 Rifle quietly appeared from a window, attempting a sniper shot.

This was the main weapon of the Izumo Army, with excellent performance.

But the moment it poked out, before it could do anything, Lu Li had already turned his gun and fired!

A row of steel balls shattered the window lattice, then turned the assailant's head into a bloody honeycomb.

The entire sequence was fluid, like flowing water. Xiao Cha, following behind, was stunned and didn't even find an opportunity to fire her gun.

At this moment, no one dared to stop them anymore.

Lu Li entered the west wing room with Xiao Cha.

There were several particularly small humanoid silhouettes here, suspected to be Tong Shao.

But upon entering, Xiao Cha's face turned deathly pale.

On the floor of the room lay several… contorted, unrecognizable children.

Most were no longer moving, only one still had a breath left.

He opened his eyes and whispered, "Sister Xiao Cha…"

"You're… Big Head!" Xiao Cha leaned over, trembling as she reached out to touch his large head.

Big Head mumbled, "I'm in so much pain, Sister Xiao Cha. Please put me out of my misery…"

"This… I, I…" Xiao Cha couldn't bring herself to do it.

Lu Li, having experienced a broken leg himself, saw that the child had multiple comminuted fractures all over his body. The best time for treatment had passed, and there was nothing that could be done.

He sighed and drew his pistol from his waist…

But just then, the child's head lolled to the side, and he died. Fortunately, Xiao Cha was with him, and her small face remained relatively calm.

Lu Li picked up his gun and walked out of the room.

At this moment, his eyes once again blazed with starlight-like brilliance.

The remaining enemies were hiding behind the walls, afraid to show themselves. Someone shouted:

"Where is Manager Yi? Has anyone gone to notify him?"

"His old self is in the main hall. He must have heard the commotion here!"

~~~~~~~~~~~

Meanwhile, in the main hall of "Guo Zhuang."

This largest and best room was, of course, Yi Qingchuan's residence.

And there was even a hidden cellar dug here!

It not only stored money but also a black hand-cranked telephone.

Yi Qingchuan was enthusiastically chatting on the phone: "Thanks to you, I've found another spiritually gifted young girl."

……

"Oh, and I also found a 'Watery Charm.' Her appearance and temperament are exceptionally good. Young Master might want to take her into his private chambers and relax."

……

After a few humble reports, Yi Qingchuan bowed and hung up the phone.

Then his expression turned cold, and he reverted to his usual gloomy demeanor, pacing to the prison at the other end of the cellar.

This prison had a bed and pillows; the conditions were decent. Tong Shao was locked up here.

Seeing Yi Qingchuan approach, the little girl flinched back into the farthest corner, her small face turned towards the wall, whispering:

"You will face retribution."

"Ha~ Retribution?"

Hearing the word, Yi Qingchuan couldn't help but want to laugh… but just then, his ear twitched, and he vaguely heard the roar of firearms!

His eyes turned cold, and with a whoosh, he vanished from his spot.
