This was an attack that seemed destined to have a certain outcome, but in fact, the ending was not guaranteed.
An ordinary two-star evolver faced with the joint assault of ten one-star evolvers found it extremely challenging. Especially when among these one-star evolvers were two professionals, the initiative of the battle would largely be grasped by the one-star side.
Moreover, Xia Bai had gone through two evolutions in one night and was still in the adaptation phase with her current body.
If Jennings and his group were not afraid, if they had the courage to fight to the death, and if they were not shocked by Xia Bai's madness, then with professionals, guns, and a numerical advantage, they would ultimately become the victors.
But the ones who died were them.
This could not be blamed on others; it only indicated that their psychological quality was poor, that they lacked courage, and that even though they had become evolvers, they still could not adapt to this apocalypse.
Thus, death became inevitable.
Of course, from Lu Yi's perspective, these foreigners were also not very clear-headed.
When someone tells you to leave, do you really just walk away? What did they come here for? Clearly, they wanted to occupy this place. Since they treated it as a base, establishing a base requires people. If you leave yourself, fine, but wanting to take others with you? Isn't that seeking death?
When Lu Yi saw the bloodied Xia Bai return to the villa, all his suspicions were confirmed. The elder stood with his hands behind his back, watching this murderous-looking woman pass right by him and walk into the villa, leaving behind a trail of blood footprints.
The blood of others had long dried on the way back from the meeting area to the villa area, and now the footprints were made by this woman's own blood.
Both Lu Yi and Xiang Tao, who followed behind, showed expressions of shock.
They had seen ruthless people before; the leaders of Cloud Summit Villa had all been ruthless since the beginning of the apocalypse, otherwise, they couldn't suppress others. But this woman... Lu Yi and the others felt a deep sense of fear in addition to being moved.
Especially when they caught a glimpse of her as she passed by, it sent a chill down Lu Yi's spine.
In that fleeting moment... the elder even saw a hint of disappointment.
Why would this disfigured woman feel disappointed?
Lu Yi began to lose his understanding, but suddenly awakened after taking a few steps.
It should be that this woman dealt with Jennings and his group, but disappointment... could it be that she felt disappointed for coming here instead of leaving?
Was she... disappointed for not being able to kill herself?!
Lu Yi took a deep breath, feeling more convinced that his decision was correct.
Xia Bai's tragic state caused Park Soo-young and others to cover their mouths in shock.
She had two severe gunshot wounds, at least four or five broken bones, and her head had two bleeding wounds that were still oozing blood, not to mention several other wounds of varying severity.
How had this woman held on? Why was there not a hint of pain on her face?
"I... this..." Park Soo-young wanted to use the sweet dew technique, but it had to be done after resetting the bones and removing the bullets; otherwise, even if the wounds healed, her body wouldn't recover. And Park Soo-young really didn't know how to do that. Mo Ye and Xia Lei were also out, what to do?
After glancing at Lu Yi and the others who followed in, Ye Zhongming nodded, signaling Sister Rong to entertain them, before saying, "I'll do it."
Having survived the apocalypse for ten years, Ye Zhongming had learned these skills. He took Xia Bai and Park Soo-young into a nearby room, retrieving some medical gauze and tools he had collected along the way from the space crystal, preparing to remove the bullet lodged in Xia Bai’s shoulder.
Her upper garment was already soaked in blood. Ye Zhongming frowned slightly as he held the scissors, having trouble finding a suitable place to cut, when suddenly, Xia Bai stood up and swiftly removed her top.
