The prison zone ability users, seeing their pleas for mercy were useless, immediately fought back.
However, their resistance was like a moth to a flame in front of Shang Qi, Su Ling, and the others, a sheer overestimation of their own strength.
Once the ability blockers on Su Ling's side were deployed, the prison zone ability users were reduced to lambs awaiting slaughter, utterly incapable of fighting back.
Soon, under the coordinated leadership of Chu Jin and Wen Shang Sheng, not a single prison zone ability user survived, the air thick with the smell of blood. The piles of corpses were gathered and formed into a small hill, which Shang Qi then set ablaze with a burst of fire.
While the bodies of the prison zone ability users were being consumed by the flames, Shang Qi and Su Ling were already heading towards the prison zone.
Upon entering the prison zone, the first sight that greeted them was rows of jerky and smoked meat hanging from wooden racks.
In the vast courtyard, besides the dried and smoked meats, there were also piles of white bones and numerous spoils of war.
Among them were the advanced weapons brought by Wen Shang Yin and his group.
Shang Qi unceremoniously collected all the spoils of war, while Chu Jin, Wen Shang Sheng, and the others led their people to clean up the aftermath.
Su Ling stood with Shang Qi in the courtyard, her voice cold, "Shang Qi, your elder brother, should we save him?"
Based on Su Ling's temperament, she felt there was no need to save him, allowing Wen Shang Yin to fend for himself.
A person so disloyal, unrighteous, and uncaring would only cause future trouble if kept alive.
Shang Qi held Su Ling's hand and looked at her, "Let's go take a look."
Su Ling hummed and followed Shang Qi to the place where Wen Shang Yin and Song Lian were held captive.
When Su Ling and Shang Qi arrived, Chu Jin and his people were already releasing the survivors and ability users who had been imprisoned by Xu Du and his group.
Seeing Shang Qi and Su Ling, Chu Jin understood their intentions and led the released individuals away, leaving them space.
Shang Qi pulled Su Ling to the iron door where Wen Shang Yin and Song Lian were confined. Feeling tired from standing, Shang Qi brought over a chair for Su Ling to sit, then sat beside her, crossing his legs and observing Wen Shang Yin and Song Lian, now reduced to prisoners.
Wen Shang Yin and Song Lian had never expected to find themselves in this situation, facing Shang Qi and Su Ling.
They were prisoners, while Shang Qi and Su Ling were high above, observing them as if they were pets in a cage.
The situation was extremely awkward. Wen Shang Yin was too ashamed to face Shang Qi and turned his face away from them.
Only Song Lian faced Shang Qi and Su Ling.
He had already anticipated this fate on the way there. Now that he was imprisoned and Shang Qi and Su Ling were watching them, everything was within his expectations.
What could he do? His followers wouldn't listen to his advice, so he could only put himself in danger.
Fortunately, his gamble had paid off. Even though they had failed, Shang Qi and Su Ling were there to clean up and ensure their safety.
Shang Qi sat on the chair, legs crossed, with an innate regal air. He glanced at Wen Shang Yin, who refused to look at him, and said in a cool, indifferent tone, "What is Elder Brother doing? Afraid we couldn't handle these people and came to scout for us in advance?"
Wen Shang Yin was infuriated by Shang Qi's sarcastic words, but he dared not speak his anger, for he had lost.
Shang Qi continued to prod, seemingly intent on provoking Wen Shang Yin, "But Elder Brother, you're no good. You failed before you even started. You didn't scout for information, and instead became a prisoner, making a spectacle of yourself."
It was indeed a spectacle. With skilled individuals and advanced weapons, they held no advantage whatsoever.
Wen Shang Yin's capabilities were rather useless in this cannibalistic doomsday world. He seemed powerful, but was merely a paper tiger, easily torn apart.
