Chapter 70: Chapter 70 Who Doesn't Want to Kill Someone?
The group moved the objects blocking the entrance of Bucks Gym aside and then cautiously walked out, using a Lamp Tree crystal encased in a cover as a lantern.
There were quite a few vehicles parked in front of the entrance to Bucks Gym, about six or seven, all of which were large-capacity vehicles, parked on either side, perfectly shielding the main entrance of Bucks Gym.
The monsters on this street had been cleared early on by Nie Rilong and his people, but for safety's sake, he still chose to park this way, using the vehicles as a cover, which showed that he was a very cautious man.
Everyone was holding machetes and steel pipes, including Nie Rilong, who held a crowbar. The Blood Bone Lizard did not get in the car but stood next to his.
"Zhao Jun leads the way; everyone else, follow closely..."
Humming sound
However, before Nie Rilong and his men had a chance to get into their cars, a sound came through the fog, and a faint yellow glow pierced the mist to illuminate their figures.
Nie Rilong's face changed slightly, then they saw a large red truck slowly emerging from the fog, followed by two jeeps and another truck.
In an instant, he knew this must be the truck convoy Zhao Jun had mentioned, and the fact that the convoy could track them here meant trouble was afoot, and the newcomers did not come with good intentions.
He sneered, thinking to himself, "Good that they've come, saves me the effort."
"Click"
The truck door opened, and Su Han and Zhu Xiong came out from the front, while the people from the jeeps got down to size up Nie Rilong and his group.

Zhu Xiong glanced at the number of people on the other side and then at the fierce lizard monster behind Nie Rilong, his heart suddenly lightened: this was a sure win.
The Blood Bone Lizard, over three meters in length, stood as tall as a man when it held its head high, its blood-red skin as vivid as blood, and its body adorned with grey-white bones interwoven with red patterns on its spine, cheeks, shoulders, and claws, resembling a hellish demon.
Zhu Xiong had to admit the Blood Bone Lizard looked ferocious, even more menacing than the Giant Claw Zombie.
But as fierce as it was, it mattered who it was compared to.
"Brother, you think a few guys like this are enough to pick a fight? You're really underestimating us," said Zhu Xiong.
Seeing the people who had just disembarked from the truck, Nie Rilong approached them with a fake smile accompanied by his own men.
On Su Han's side, counting all of them, there were only about twenty combatants, and not everyone had fully gotten off the trucks yet. On the other side, Nie Rilong's twenty or so strong men stood there, indeed making a more imposing presence.
"You must have captured my people, right? Release them and leave half of the supplies, and I'll let you go. Otherwise, don't blame me for not being polite," Nie Rilong said with an increasingly fierce look in his eyes, staring at Su Han like a vicious wolf.
Being able to own such a large gym and gather a group of followers, he was never a pushover, and having gained power in this post-apocalyptic world, he had become even more brazen.
As Nie Rilong finished speaking, his followers summoned their Angel Envoys, and the monstrous roars echoed one after another.
The majority were flesh corpses, robust in stature, with twisted spines, opening their bloody maws and sharp claws, which sent shivers down the spine.
Suddenly having twenty more monsters, Nie Rilong's side seemed to have the numbers of a few dozen men, truly an intimidating sight.
However, Su Han just sneered, not at all intimidated by Nie Rilong's little antics.
His people had not only cleared the villa of monsters but had recently fought the Human-faced Tree. They might not claim to be battle-hardened, but they were certainly no ordinary people.
Without needing Su Han to say more, everyone immediately summoned their Angel Envoys, with Giant Macrophage Dogs splitting to both sides, opening their fierce mouths and growling threateningly.
One by one, the Angel Envoy flesh corpses were summoned, clad in armor and wielding machetes, not looking like monsters but more like a heavily armored army.
Nie Rilong's pupils shrank suddenly, his expression as if he had seen a ghost, and then he immediately changed his tune, "Wait, brother, I think there might be a misunderstanding."
He stepped forward a few paces and suddenly started to soften his tone—there was no choice, he was well aware of the difference between monsters clad in iron armor and ordinary monsters.
"Do you think it's a misunderstanding just because you say so?" Zhu Xiong replied with a cold sneer, making Nie Rilong's expression even uglier as he said in a deep voice, "Brother, two injured parties is no good in this post-apocalyptic world. You have your iron armor, and I have my Blood Bone Lizard."
Although it seemed like a threat, the Blood Bone Lizard, like Nie Rilong, moved a few steps forward, stopping just over twenty meters away from Su Han and his group, close enough for them to see clearly the grotesque visage of the Blood Bone Lizard.
Zhu Xiong was about to snap back with a retort, "I have one, too," when he suddenly caught a glimpse of a triumphant gleam in Nie Rilong's gloomy eyes.
His heart skipped a beat, a bad feeling that there was trickery afoot.
He instinctively pushed Su Han away, but he found Su Han unmoved. The Blood Bone Lizard opposite them suddenly attacked, opening its bloody maw, and a crimson tongue bristling with sharp barbs shot out at an incredible speed, almost too fast to see.
The crimson tongue stretched across more than twenty meters, charging straight at Su Han, with Nie Rilong never having considered any form of compromise from the start.
Even after seeing that the Angel Envoy by Su Han's side was clad in iron armor, he simply shifted from a head-on crushing assault to a stealthy ambush.
Nie Rilong's goal had always been crystal clear, to kill Su Han and his group.
At this moment, his smile finally became utterly unrestrained, confident that with his Blood Bone Lizard's involvement, success was guaranteed.
However, the situation suddenly changed.
"Clang"
Vines shot out fiercely, entangling the crimson tongue. The sharp barbs scraped against the dark vines, emitting a metallic sound.
"What is that?!"
Nie Rilong was startled to see that the ground had, unbeknownst to him, become covered with vine-like tendrils, snaking everywhere, filling both sides of the street, and guarding Su Han so tightly that not even air could pass through.
The Blood Bone Lizard tried to withdraw its tongue, but more vines bound it, and no matter how much the Blood Bone Lizard struggled, it couldn't pull its tongue back.
The pain of pulling caused the Blood Bone Lizard to howl, its appearance growing more ferocious.
And at this time, as the vines slowly writhed, Su Han's figure emerged, sneering at Nie Rilong, "You didn't really think you were the only one wanting to kill someone, did you?"
Su Han's words caused a sudden change in the expressions of Nie Rilong and his men, but before they could react, Su Han had already ordered, "Old Zhu, make your move. I'll handle the lizard; you guys deal with the rest."
"Got it. I'll take care of the rest; this is my forte."
Zhang Dahai grinned, "Not bragging, but I had some experience back in the day. Everyone grab your weapon and go at them, the zombies in front, the dogs to the sides, hit them hard, and keep the formation tight."
Zhu Xiong pulled out a machete, and Zhang Dahai had somehow switched to a club, the two scoundrel leaders leading their men into the fray head-on.
Seeing the tide turning against him, Nie Rilong immediately rushed toward his Blood Bone Lizard, hoping to use its power to gain control of the situation.
'You backstabbing son of a bitch, I'll fight you to the death.'
A fierce look flashed in his eyes as he controlled the Blood Bone Lizard to bite off its tongue and break free, blood splattering all over, its agonized roars echoing down the entire street.
Nie Rilong vaulted onto the back of the Blood Bone Lizard, shouting at the top of his lungs, "Fight them, or we all die!"
His loud beration had an effect, and the people from Bucks Gym came to their senses, immediately sending the zombies charging at the front lines.
With everyone already at the doorway, where could they run if they didn't fight?
Seeing morale boosted, Nie Rilong felt slightly relieved but his gaze became even more viciously fixed on Su Han. Only by killing him and the mysterious Vine Angel Envoy could today's issues be resolved.
The Blood Bone Lizard leaped high into the air, heading straight for Su Han—a distance of over twenty meters closed in an instant.
'You asked for it; don't think you can stop me with mere vines.'
As the distance narrowed, Nie Rilong could already envision himself breaking through the vines and tearing Su Han to shreds on the ground.
However, just as he was feeling triumphant, suddenly a dark figure leaped out and landed right in front of him.
Giant hands grasped the head of the Blood Bone Lizard, the ferocious bone spurs scraping against the Black Armor, producing a grating noise.
"Boom"
A thunderous crash resounded as the massive Blood Bone Lizard, along with its rider, was slammed to the ground.
