When Li Yi arrived at the villa where he fought alongside Xue Wu and the others, he found that the place was already deserted, with only an old man who looked almost toothless standing at the door, drowsy.
After asking, I found out that this villa had been auctioned for sale earlier. As for the original owner, Xue Wu and the others, they had no idea where they had moved.
Li Yi was right. The number of awakened mutants caused by the current wave is becoming increasingly stable, and the number is not increasing but declining due to the chaos and fighting of order. Logically speaking, people like Xue Wu and others have already awakened in the early stage. Mutants are very powerful.
Having strength means being able to continuously evolve and become stronger in various battles, and as time goes by, it is not impossible to have a second advancement.
In today's world where big fists are the last word, Xue Wu's status must be higher than before. Using such a small villa as a base camp is really not in line with their status.
"Uncle, do you know where they went in the end? I am their friend. If you need anything, come to him."
"What did you say?"
Looking at the old man who stretched his long body and tried his best to hear what Li Yi said clearly, Li Yi was helpless.
"Oh, it's okay."
"Louder, I can't hear you!"
Listening to the uncle's angry voice, Li Yi rubbed his ears that were itchy from the shock.
"I'm leaving! Master."
At least I heard the last sentence clearly, and the uncle immediately showed an unhappy look.
"Just leave. Why are you shouting so loudly? It disturbs my sleep."
Li Yi:......
What he didn't expect was that after he left, the old man with cloudy and sleepy eyes suddenly opened his eyes, a ray of light burst out, and he murmured to himself.
"Such an ordinary person comes to see a person named Xue. Is it because he is impatient with life? Hum..."
After a pause, as if he thought of something, the old man took out his communicator and dialed a number.
"Hello? It's me. Well, someone came looking for Xue just now. He's probably heading south now."
"I don't know! My identity has not been exposed. What I mean is that you can use this kid to create some trouble for Xue. If he continues to resist like this, it will not be worth the loss, right?"
"Ah? Of course he is an ordinary person, otherwise would I say that?"
"Okay, just keep in touch, hang up now."
After hanging up the phone and looking at the ordinary people who had disappeared, the old man was just about to close his eyes and take a nap when he saw a face reaching over and looking at him curiously.
It was the young man just now!
This scared away most of his sleepiness, and he suddenly woke up and sat up straight in a hurry.
Li Yi asked with a smile.
"Uncle, who were you talking to on the phone just now?"
"Ah? What did you say? I can't hear you if you speak louder!"
Seeing that he was still pretending to be deaf and dumb, Li Yi couldn't help but smile, with a hint of coldness in his smile.
"I advise you to tell the truth, otherwise I don't mind letting you stretch your muscles."
As he spoke, Li Yi pinched his finger bones and made bursts of noise, which was an obvious threat.
"What do you mean? Are you bullying my old man?"
In this situation, even a fool could see that the young man opposite him had already doubted himself. The old man had already decided to give up, but there was one thing that made him doubtful.
This kid obviously doesn't have any mutant aura about him, and he looks like an ordinary person. How can he be so confident to threaten him?
Thinking of this, he seemed to have regained some confidence.
The old man awakened a very special animal power. His power did not have much practical ability, but it was still very practical if used for other purposes.
After trying hard to sniff the other person's breath, he couldn't smell anything that matched the scent of a mutant. The old man couldn't help but feel reassured and spoke louder.
"What? Do you think I'm an old man and easy to bully? Do you know that respecting the elderly and caring for the young is a virtue? Ah!"
Before he finished speaking, the old man suddenly leaned over and lay on the ground in a curled up position. He let out an inhuman howling sound, which sounded like a vicious dog. Then he jumped towards Li Yi. It went straight to Li Yi's throat.
It turns out that he awakened the power of a vicious dog, possessing a strong sense of smell and certain animal instincts.
But he obviously chose the wrong person, especially when Li Yi had been on guard for a long time.
As a gust of wind passed, the old man who had just tried to bite Li Yi's neck was grabbed by Li Yi and lifted up like a chicken. No matter how hard he struggled, he could only feel a wave of pain. His strength was so strong that he couldn't move even a little bit.
Li Yi stared at the old man, threw him to the ground, wiped the other man's saliva with a slight disgust, and asked without fear of him escaping.
"Tell me, I heard the content of your phone call just now, and I won't argue with you. You just need to tell me where Xue Wu and the others went."
At this time, in the eyes of the old man, the thin and unprepossessing young man stood in front of him like an unfathomable master. He had easily defused his bite just now, and the strange strength that was completely unable to move caused Li Yi to be in front of the old man. The image is infinitely enlarged.
Facing him, it was like being overwhelmed by a mountain.
Except for the gang leader, he had never felt this kind of pressure from anyone he knew.
Of course, this also made him instantly understand his situation and the other party's attitude.
Without any hesitation, he poured out everything he knew like beans from a bamboo tube.
"Xue Wu didn't move, he was forced to move. You probably don't know that these gangs in the West District have become a mess recently. Several big gangs above have disappeared collectively. The pressure that was originally on us has disappeared. In order to re-divide the sphere of influence, they quickly fought together, and Xue Wu's Huashan Gang was the largest force in this area. Our gang leader wanted to gain the right to rule this area, so he attacked the people of the Huashan Gang. .”
"Did you drive away Lao Xue and the others?"
Li Yi looked at the old dog that had shrunk into a ball, and somewhat doubted the authenticity of his statement.
In just these two moments, he is no different from an ordinary gangster. Can he beat Lao Xue and the others?
As far as he knew, the Huashan Gang were the first batch of awakened mutants, so they couldn't be that bad!
"Of course I can't do it. I'm just a small role responsible for detecting intelligence. And the Huashan Gang and the others are not moved away, but..."
"Just what?"
Seeing that he was hesitant and didn't want to say anything, Li Yi decided to deepen his memory in order not to waste time.
"You don't want to say it, do you? It doesn't matter, I'll help you remember it."
"ah!"
A scream sounded out, and Li Yi easily moved one of the old dog's fingers to a different position.
Looking at his twisted and disfigured middle finger, the old dog was so painful that he was breaking out in cold sweat. He kept howling and making timid screams, which indeed sounded no different from a scared dog.
"How's it going? Did you remember anything? Do you want me to work harder for you?"
"Don't, don't, don't, this boss is just fine, I said it, that's all I said."
With big beads of sweat on his forehead, the old dog said a place name with trembling hands.
"You didn't lie to me, did you?"
Li Yi stared into the other person's eyes with suspicion on his face.
This old guy is very good at disguise. If he hadn't observed some abnormalities just now, he would have almost concealed them. To deal with such a person, you have to confirm again and again.
"No! How dare I? Besides, I was planning to tell the boss your address just now. Didn't I find a chance..."
Li Yi was stunned when he heard this.
"So you mean to tell me and then have someone ambush you, right?"
The old dog nodded like a fool.
"Yeah."
"Yes, yes, your size! Tell me! Is there anything missing? Otherwise, I wouldn't mind changing the positions of your hands and feet."
Li Yi threatened fiercely. For such a cunning guy who is good at disguising, it would be more effective to pretend to be a villain.
The old dog was crying and almost dying of pain.
"Boss, I really didn't lie to you. That's really what I planned. To say omissions... Oh, by the way! I also heard that the gang leader was planning to take action himself. He said that the person named Xue was too stubborn. He originally planned to recruit people, but now it seems that If you don’t care anymore, just kill them all and let the Huashan Gang be eliminated directly!”
"Is that gang leader of yours very powerful? What is his ability?"
"Ah!, I really don't know. The gang leader never shows his abilities in front of anyone, and no one can survive against him. That's all I know!"
Hearing this, Li Yi let go of the old dog's hand. Seeing that the other party was still screaming, in order to make himself clearer, he knocked him unconscious with a knife.
"Hmm... Banjiao Street?"
