Chapter 1688: Everyone Will Come Together

Xia Yi seemed a bit anxious, raising her hands and making a gesture.

Meng Yunzheng couldn't quite understand, but Shu Yu whispered in surprise, "Xia Yi found Uncle Meng. He's with her."

Meng Pei, who was standing behind, found it odd, "You understood that? Just by waving her hands randomly?"

Shu Yu twitched at the corner of her mouth, this was probably... the unspoken understanding between girls.

While Meng Yunzheng and Meng Pei were puzzled, they still believed her. However, Xia Yi was far away from them, on the other side, with Jiang Kuanyu and the two hyenas in between.

Meng Yunzheng frowned, but fortunately, as Jiang Kuanyu's group dodged the hyenas, they were getting farther away from the storage room.

When they were forced to run to the other side, Meng Yunzheng immediately led his group toward Xia Yi's direction.

As soon as Xia Yi opened the door, they quickly slipped inside.

The room seemed to be a storage space for discarded items, with several tables and chairs that were all broken, making the already small room feel even more cramped.

Now that a few more people had entered, the already small room felt even more crowded.

Meng Yunzheng immediately spotted Meng Xiaoshu lying in the corner, covered in blood. The expressions of everyone changed, and they hurriedly approached him, asking, "How is Xiaoshu?"

Xia Yi said, "He was subjected to torture, covered in wounds, and he has serious internal injuries. I don't have any medicine, and his wounds are worsening, causing a high fever."

Medicine, Meng Yunzheng had some. He quickly found medicine for treating both external and internal injuries and fed one to Meng Xiaoshu.

Meng Xiaoshu was already in a semi-conscious state, mumbling and asking for water.

However, this abandoned room obviously wouldn't have any water, and the area outside was chaotic. It would be quite a challenge to find clean water at this moment.

Meng Yunzheng furrowed his brows; they not only needed water to drink but also clean water to tend to Meng Xiaoshu's injuries properly.

Xia Yi understood this well. She said to everyone, "I'll go find water. I'm familiar with the black market's layout and know where the nearest water source is."

"But it's chaotic and dangerous outside," Meng Pei interjected. He knew there was water in the beast camp, and he was considering how to navigate the chaos outside and reach that location as quickly as possible.

However, Xia Yi had already stood up. "Don't worry, a little chaos won't deter me. I'll be back soon. You all be careful."

Just earlier, she had gone out to find water and coincidentally came across Shu Yu's group.

Meng Yunzheng nodded at Meng Pei. "Xia Yi is quite capable."

Since his son said so, Meng Pei didn't object further, but he whispered, "Be careful then."

The bandit, who were listening from the side, were utterly confused. Yi'er was going to find water on her own? Was she trying to get herself killed? Also, did Young Master Meng just say she's capable? Was he joking?

But they didn't care about these matters now. Seeing Xia Yi really going out, after closing the door, Bandit said to Meng Yunzheng, "Young Master, now that everyone is here, it's chaotic outside. Seize this opportunity to take your uncle and leave immediately. Also, my antidote, give it to me quickly."

He had already taken the antidote once before, but Meng Yunzheng had said that it was just a temporary relief.

Though infuriated, the bandit had no choice. At this moment, he only wanted to send this group of troublesome individuals away from the black market as swiftly as possible.

Meng Yunzheng wiped the sweat from Meng Xiaoshu's forehead and said without lifting his head, "No rush. Let's tend to Uncle first."
