Chapter 274 Killer
This instantaneous exchange was ignored by Mrs. Xu, who was immersed in anger and surprise, but it did not escape Murong Ling'er's sharp eyes. She couldn't help but feel a little confused.
Manager Chen cleared his throat and continued, "Although there are rules and regulations, we can't treat the prisoners as if they were human. This shed is well built, but not everyone can just cut down trees on the mountain. When we need to build sheds in the future, we can't cut down too many trees. So, let's leave this matter to Miss Murong. From today on, Miss Murong will no longer have to make salt, but will focus on helping everyone build the sheds."
"No...no, Manager Chen, how can you not punish her? She is..." When Mrs. Xu heard this, she became so anxious that she jumped up and down, completely disregarding Manager Chen's authority, and retorted loudly.
"Shut up! Do I need you to tell me what to do?" Manager Chen turned his head suddenly, his eyes wide open, and shouted at Mrs. Xu.
Mrs. Xu was so frightened by the sudden scolding that her face turned pale and her body began to tremble involuntarily. She couldn't understand how things turned out like this.
The girl she wanted to discipline was not only not punished, but also got an easy job. This made her extremely unbalanced, but she dared not say anything.
Not only Mrs. Xu, but the other convicts on the beach were also shocked. They had endured year after year on this island, exposed to the scorching sun every day, and endured inhuman torture. All the previous stewards were extremely harsh to them, and they never thought that there would be a steward who would consider them.
Now, the newly appointed Manager Chen actually made such a decision, which made them both surprised and unbelievable.
For a moment, the beach erupted in whispers and suppressed cheers.
Hope was rekindled in everyone's eyes, and excitement appeared on their originally tired and numb faces.
They gathered around Murong Ling'er, asking about the details of building the shed. The originally dull and depressing beach became lively and vibrant because of this unexpected turn of events.
Among the cheering and excited crowd, Mrs. Xu's face looked particularly gloomy, as if water could drip out of it.
When Murong Ling'er's calm yet meaningful gaze inadvertently swept over her, Mrs. Xu felt her face burning hot and she was so ashamed that she lowered her head subconsciously, wishing she could find a crack in the ground to crawl into.
"Thank you, Manager Chen, for your magnanimity and consideration for everyone. We are truly grateful!" Murong Linger stood up first and respectfully bowed to Manager Chen in a clear and loud voice.
Seeing this, everyone put down their work, gathered around like a tide, and expressed their gratitude in unison.
The passionate and enthusiastic cheers that came one after another were like sharp blades piercing Xu Pozi's heart, and like loud slaps in the face.
She was filled with shame and indignation, and while everyone's attention was on Manager Chen and no one was paying attention to herself, she slipped away quietly from the edge of the crowd like a frightened mouse.
Murong Ling'er looked at her departing back coldly, a hint of disdain flashed in her eyes, but she had no intention of chasing after her to embarrass her.
Since they had to go deep into the mountains to cut down trees, Murong Ling'er took into consideration the dangers in the mountains and did not bring Murong Chen with her. Instead, she left him in the shed and entrusted him to Huo Jianjie and Chu Lingfeng for care. She did not call for other helpers and resolutely headed into the mountains alone.
The mountain on Donghai Island is extremely vast, occupying almost a quarter of the entire island. Deep in the mountains, it has always been a forbidden area that all fugitives are afraid to set foot in.
Building the shed requires a large number of trees. If we only cut down trees on the periphery, it will probably not take long before all the trees on the periphery are cut down.
For long-term considerations, Murong Ling'er decided to go deep into the mysterious and dangerous mountains.
Murong Ling'er was agile and ran through the mountains and forests like a black lightning, easily avoiding the thick and towering trees.
She was moving so fast that the wind whistled in her ears. Soon, she reached the other side of the mountain.
Standing on the cliff, Murong Ling'er looked at the endless and turbulent sea in front of her, and the sea breeze blew her hair and clothes wantonly.
She stood there quietly, as if she was deeply attracted and fascinated by the magnificent sea view.
Suddenly, a sharp sound of breaking through the air came from behind. Murong Ling'er's eyes suddenly became cold, and her figure flashed like a ghost and disappeared from the spot in an instant.
Almost at the same time, a large number of well-trained killers emerged from all directions. They were dressed in black and their faces were covered with black cloth, revealing only a pair of cold and vigilant eyes.
Seeing Murong Ling'er disappear in an instant, the killers all showed astonishment on their faces and quickly dispersed, forming a fan-shaped encirclement. Each of them held a sharp blade, highly alert, and the muscles all over their bodies were tense, like a cheetah ready to pounce.
Relying on her extraordinary lightness skills, Murong Ling'er hid in mid-air, looking down at the killers from above, with a sneer on her lips. Her voice was cold and sarcastic as she said slowly, "Young Master He is really enthusiastic. He sent so many people to welcome me!" Her voice echoed in the valley like a whisper from hell.
As soon as he finished speaking, one of the killers let out a short and painful groan, and a stream of blood suddenly spurted out from his throat, splashing into the air like a fountain. The whole person fell straight back and fell heavily to the ground, raising a cloud of dust, and died instantly.
When the leader of the assassins saw this, his heart suddenly tightened. He originally thought that the young master He Jinyan had only exaggerated Murong Ling'er's strength, but now that he saw it with his own eyes, he was shocked to find that this woman was far more terrifying than the young master described.
"Be careful, she's in the dark!" the killer leader shouted loudly, trying to keep his footing.
However, Murong Ling'er's attacks were as swift and deadly as a storm, making it impossible to defend against them.
She was as fast as lightning, moving back and forth among the group of killers. Wherever she went, swords and knives flashed and blood splattered.
Every attack was accompanied by a scream and the loss of a life. Her movements were clean and neat, without any delay. She would punch out, directly piercing the killer's chest, and the heart would be shattered by the powerful force, or kick, and the killer's neck would be broken in an instant like a fragile straw, and the head would be twisted at a strange angle.
As figures fell one after another like wheat being cut, blood quickly gathered into pools on the ground, and the pungent smell of blood filled the entire forest.
Seeing this, the leader of the killers was immediately panicked. He hurriedly gathered all the scattered killers together. They stood back to back, forming a tight defensive circle, trying to resist Murong Linger's all-pervasive attack.
However, in the face of Murong Ling'er's absolute strength, the resistance of these killers seemed so powerless.
Her attacks were as elusive as ghosts, constantly coming from unexpected angles.
Suddenly, she swooped down, her palms dancing rapidly, the wind from her palms whistling, and wherever she touched, the killers' bodies were blown away like rags, their internal organs shattered by the powerful force of her palms, they vomited blood, and died on the spot.
In just a moment, the ground was littered with the killers' bodies, and the entire forest seemed to have turned into a Shura field.
The battle lasted only a cup of tea from start to finish.
