Chapter 822 An Interesting Opponent

"Hmmm" Liam silently frowned as he continued to observe everything from above. It was not just one truck. People were being moved out in chains from both of the trucks.

In total, there were some fifty men and women and ten children. All of them were in chains, bound by strong metallic threads.

"You get over there." One of the men loudly shouted in his raspy voice. He then began segregating the group into men, women and children separately.

The more Liam watched, the more unsettling things were devolving into. The group of suspicious-looking armed men led the male prisoners to one wing of the hospital.

They once again returned to the female population, only this time, they started handling them in an entirely different manner.

The thugs went around groping and hara.s.sing the women for a few minutes before shoving them all forcefully into another wing.

Lastly, the children were taken to another area.

Liam did not intervene just yet and continued to watch the group for some more time.

Seeing the number of prisoners, at first, he had a.s.sumed that this was a big operation, but surprisingly, there were only a few armed men guarding the perimeter at all times.

They shouldn't exceed twenty. Logically it did not make sense. How are just these twenty people handling all the prisoners? Even if they had guns and even if they were stronger, it was still impossible to run an operation like this.

However, just as Liam was contemplating this, two more trucks arrived. People exited the two trucks once more, but this time they were not chained. Also, they were all men.

No one was even supervising these guys as they stepped out of the truck one after the other. They were carrying dry rations, mangled corpses of beasts, drinks and all sorts of food items and other supplies inside the hospital.

All the prisoners looked soulless and did not exhibit any sort of emotion. They were simply mechanically carrying the goods inside, almost as obedient as his soul minions.

Seeing this, Liam became even more suspicious.

The apocalypse had only barely begun, with everything starting to collapse just ten days ago. So how was it possible that these many people were already so obedient? They shouldn't have broken down so soon.

He continued waiting for some more time when finally, another vehicle arrived. This time it was a jeep, and from within it, a man seemingly in his twenties stepped out.

He was accompanied by six women, all of whom looked very beautiful and were dressed in very skimpy clothes, revealing almost everything.

With three women on one side and three women on the other side, the young man then swaggered forward, entering the hospital building in a drunken stupor. His steps were also unsteady.

"Could this be the leader?" Liam wondered. Judging from the manner he was treating the women and enjoying himself, he wanted to conclude this, but at the same time, this person did not look as strong or st.u.r.dy.

He was so wobbly and heavily drunk as if he was about to collapse any second. Compared to the horned and armed men who were standing on the side, he was completely different.

It was impossible for him to be any kind of leader! Even if he were, he would be overthrown in a second and replaced by someone else.

Liam silently observed the area, thinking that some more people might arrive, perhaps the real leader of the group, but no such thing happened.

The day gradually darkened, and no more trucks or any other vehicles were going in or out of the compound.

All of this pointed to only one thing. The guy he saw earlier was most definitely the leader of this whole group.

pA(nd)A no ve1 Liam coldly gazed at the set-up for some more time before coming to the only possible conclusion. His opponent had to be capable of mind control in some way.

Otherwise, all of this was simply impossible.

Mental attacks were very unique and dangerous attacks. Liam only knew about Shen Yue's mental attack, which was extremely fearsome.

However, now it seemed like this person was also probably capable of something like this.

This kind of opponent could be very unpredictable, and it was good that the others did not engage with this enemy. Liam, on the other hand, did not have any such restrictions.

He had quite a bit of mental defence built up. So he was not hesitant, and he also had no intention of allowing this to continue. It was time to go inside and take a closer look at what was going on.

"Luna. Land there." He patted the fox, and she elegantly glided down to land at the back of the hospital.

Two armed men saw him come in right away, but before they could do anything, their dead bodies silently fell to the ground.

Liam stood next to the corpses dusting his hand. He did not forget to forge the two into soul minions. "I was correct. Their level is not too high. They just have brute strength, maybe burst power." He concluded.

He was just about to examine their horns and their peculiar features when unexpectedly, the next second, he watched the two bodies shrivel and wither away right in front of his eyes.

Liam's eyes widened in shock before narrowing again as he looked at the two corpses. This was definitely new. "Well, I guess more new materials for me." He grinned and decided to move on to the next targets.

Because the dead bodies were too disgusting to examine, he decided to check out two live ones instead.

He turned around to see another couple of armed men a few feet away from him. They were standing facing the opposite direction and had not noticed him in the darkness of the night.

Liam took a step toward them when once again, something unexpected happened. The two armed and horned men in the distance also dropped dead, but this time he did not do anything!
