Chapter 29: The Righteous Character's Whereabouts (Part 1) Seeking Red Tickets and Favorites

  Under the night sky, the starlight shines down; making the entire night sky bright and radiant, surprisingly even brighter than the Mid-Autumn Festival full moon night on August 15th. It's as if everything has changed now, only the earth underfoot remains, yet it too is undergoing strange changes everywhere.

  Tie Zhu and five others supported the heavily injured Jia Yuqin, struggling to escape from the attack of the mutated bats. They were dodging and running away, but the speed of the mutated bats was too fast for them, making their attempts at evasion and escape seem laughable. Moreover, they had to constantly protect the severely injured and semi-conscious Jia Yuqin by their side.

  "This won't do, old mouse!" Liu Kui said loudly on the side, with several scratch marks on his shoulder from the mutated bat's claws, fresh blood flowing out, just a little bit away from being grabbed at the neck, but he himself didn't care or fear at all.

  "It's either being killed by monsters or dying from exhaustion." A medium-built man on the side frantically swung his knife at the mutated bats flying towards him, but unfortunately, he rarely hit them. Moreover, although the mutated bats had poor defensive capabilities among the mutated creatures, they still suffered little fatal damage under their slashing knives.

  "We can't retreat, let's fight these beasts to the end! Are we still afraid of them?!" One of them, a rather short but sturdy man with thick limbs and neck, his face red with indignation.

  "Everyone relies on the team to resist these bat monsters' attacks, let's see the situation first." The mouse is relatively short and thin, with shiny eyes, but unfortunately, in this bad environment, facing the wolf in front and the tiger behind, it looks very confused, with confusion about the future, can only choose to delay time by instinct.

  "Good!"

  "Everyone listen to Old Mouse, among us only Golden Grandpa and Old Mouse have a bit of brains, listening to him is definitely better than thinking for ourselves." The last tall and sturdy man loudly echoed in agreement.

  Only six people surrounded Jia Yuqin, who was severely injured and half unconscious, with their hands holding machetes to continuously resist the aerial bombing of the mutated bats in mid-air. However, under the extremely fast mutated bats, the resistance and counterattack of the few people seemed so powerless, and from time to time, they were scratched by the mutated bats on their bodies, bleeding, and sometimes being knocked down by the flying mutated bats. Fortunately, there were two people who responded separately, and the mutated bats were not very intelligent, did not seize the opportunity to launch a collective charge, otherwise, it would have been possible to kill several people including Tiezhu in one or two times. As a result, although Tiezhu and others were in a precarious situation, they persisted with gritted teeth, despite being injured from time to time, as time slowly passed by...

  "Boss, are we going up there to help kill those monsters?" said a younger brother next to Hei She, seemingly not having a good impression of the monsters.

  "Kill what kill! Are you going to kill? It's best if the monsters don't come to provoke us, let's just watch the show and see how long they can last." This time, facing such a fast monster, it seems like we can't play anymore.

  "Yes, boss is wise and powerful. These monsters are not easy to mess with. Don't stir up trouble if there's no need to."

  "It's free and there's a real-life show to watch, why aren't you watching? This is much more exciting than any Hollywood blockbuster."

  The younger brothers on the side flattered and refuted the younger brother who had just spoken wrongly.

  Among the various flattering faces, Hei She's face also looked extremely excited, his triangular eyes gleaming with a sharp light, yet appearing exceptionally clear-headed. As he gazed at the several people not far away, whose injuries were becoming increasingly severe, their fresh blood dripping and flowing, his triangular eyes flashed with an excited and ruthless color, his mood growing better and better. Some of the more astute younger brothers beside him immediately had new ideas upon seeing his expression.

  "Hey, Iron Rodent Brothers, you guys try harder, don't make us humans lose face, let these monsters look down on us. Do you know that you're representing us humans? Hurry up and chase them to death!" He couldn't help but bitterly mock as he watched the mice desperately resisting.

  "Alright, let's go all out and fight! How come it's always you guys who get hurt? The monsters are still fine. Be more forceful!"

  "We're watching too, don't let us free spectators get bored, bring on some excitement."

  "A few big fools, hurry up and fight, let's see how long you can last, in the end you still won't be able to escape Hei She Lao Da's Wuzhi Mountain."

  “……”

  On this side, the old mice were desperately injured and resisting the attack of the mutant bats, but it looked very stupid. If they continued like this, even if the mutant bats couldn't kill them, when they faced the black snake later, they might not even be able to run away; At this time, the faces of several people didn't look good either, but they could only hum a sound, pretending not to hear, and stubbornly resist. In their hearts, they were thinking that if they could die a little later, it would be better, and if all else failed, they would also pull someone to be a scapegoat.

  The black snake's triangular eyes flickered, looking quite pleased. The three mutated bat corpses that had been poisoned by the toxic fog had already begun to rot, and he knew they were now useless. At this moment, it seemed as if a wispy smoke-like substance was emanating from the corpses. Suddenly, the black snake's mouth opened wide, and with an eerie sucking force, it inhaled the smoke-like substance into its body.

  The little brothers who were still making noise, clapping and teasing the old mouse a moment ago, suddenly saw this situation, didn't care about speaking, and quickly distanced themselves from the black snake, clearly terrified of that smoky object.

  The black snake didn't care about the little brother next to it, and after all the smoky substances were absorbed into its body, its face was filled with a satisfied color, because the pale blue color that had been blowing all night suddenly turned rosy; as for the original green mist that blocked the mutated bat, he didn't even look at it, and with the passage of time and the blowing of the night wind, the green toxic mist also began to slowly disperse in mid-air, finally disappearing.

  Since his release from prison, Hei She (Black Snake) has been seeking an opportunity to avenge himself against "Jin Ye" (Golden Grandfather), aka Jia Yu Jin. In prison, Jia Yu Jin was respected for being loyal and ruthless, earning him many followers; Hei She was also in prison at the time, where he clashed with Jia Yu Jin due to conflicting interests, resulting in injuries on both sides. However, after another defeat, Hei She was severely injured and left for dead, but a younger inmate who had been saved by Hei She previously intervened and begged for his life, eventually forcing the other party to back down. Although Hei She survived, he felt humiliated and lost face; he hated Jia Yu Jin more than ever, but also resented the younger inmate who had saved him, as this act made the younger inmate a hero in others' eyes. Feeling uneasy about being overshadowed by his own subordinate, Hei She killed the younger inmate. After his release from prison, Hei She joined forces with someone in Province G and expanded his personal influence, but never forgot Jia Yu Jin's "generosity". When news of Hei She killing the younger inmate who had saved him spread, it ruined his reputation both inside and outside the prison walls.

  If it weren't for relying on connections to lean on a powerful backer, he would have been completely hopeless by now. This made him hate all the more, constantly thinking of revenge, but in prison there really wasn't much opportunity. Ordinary weapons couldn't be brought in at all, and Old Jin had a large group of desperate thugs who were also quite skilled fighters themselves - no one dared to fight them to the death.

  As the years went by, the two words "Jin Ye" continued to torment him in his heart, and although he now had some power, he was unable to reach into the prison and was powerless. The suffocating feeling of resentment made his hatred even more intense, and he became increasingly gloomy, cruel, and terrifying. Black Snake himself didn't realize that he had already been controlled by his vengeful heart.

  Later, Jia Yujin "Golden Grandfather" finally came out, he received the news in advance and made preparations and backhands; as a result, his own backing unexpectedly gave himself an order saying not to let "Golden Grandfather" have a good ending, this time he was overjoyed, originally going to "Golden Grandfather"'s side would definitely have many people, don't know how big the situation will be in the end, and now this grandfather has spoken, what happens next is none of his business.

  Moreover, from this he also knew that his own backer had a feud with the other party in their early years. It was only when they saw the news of the other party being released from prison these few days that they noticed them, otherwise they would have called for someone to take action long ago. However, during this period of time, Huaxia Country has just changed its leadership and all aspects are currently cracking down severely, so it's not convenient for him to be too direct, which is why he came to find him.

  Haha, Jin Ye is indeed "Heavenly sins can be forgiven, but self-inflicted ones cannot be survived". I didn't expect you to be so hated by others, and now you've fulfilled my wishes.
