CHAPTER 1862: CHAPTER 1855: UNDERGROUND CASINO

With a loud bang, as Tang Ye’s punch landed, the ground exploded, sending up a cloud of dust!

Dense cracks spread out wildly on the ground, and after the deafening noise, yet another explosion followed. Looking at the ground beneath Tang Ye’s feet now, a depression had already appeared.

"No choice, you made it this troublesome." Tang Ye chuckled softly, bent down, and began pulling out the stones from the depression one by one. In no time, a portion of the steel plate below surfaced before him, crisscrossed with ventilation ducts.

But that single punch of his had left the steel plate and everything on it sunken!

With such a commotion, it was hard not to attract the attention of those in the basement. At this moment, Tang Ye could no longer hear any sound from below, and the shouting had abruptly ceased!

After clearing most of the stones, Tang Ye let out a cold laugh, then jumped down, stomping heavily onto the steel plate below!

Crack~

Under such terrifying force, the seemingly robust and hard steel was pierced by Tang Ye in the next moment! Then, under countless eyes filled with shock, he made a brazen entrance below!

The innocent poker table was also crushed to bits under Tang Ye’s feet!

Tang Ye glanced at the faces around him, which were still in a state of shock, then at the gambling tables nearby, and quickly understood the situation.

This was an underground casino!

Sweeping his senses around casually, he noticed the Level 8 zombie had sensed something was amiss with the commotion and had already fled, but Tang Ye’s senses locked onto its direction, ensuring it couldn’t escape.

Even if it escaped the basement, it would never escape Tang Ye’s grasp in this vast world!

Ignoring the people around him still in shock, he promptly stepped forward to chase the zombie, while the dazed people, upon seeing Tang Ye approach, didn’t know what to do.

"Move." Tang Ye pushed the crowd before him, just as someone shouted, "Someone’s intruded!"

In an instant, the crowd became noisy, with dozens of guards rushing in from other entrances, each wielding a weapon, pushing through the crowd towards Tang Ye.

"So brave, huh?" Tang Ye licked his lips at the sight, feeling amused, and then strode towards the guards, directly slapping the first one who approached!

Slap!

After a crisp sound, the first guard was instantly sent spinning through the air, crashing into the wall behind!

The others followed, brandishing their weapons towards Tang Ye without a word!

But how could these people be a match for Tang Ye?

You could hear the slaps echoing crisp and clear!

In less than half a minute, the guards lay scattered among the crowd, with people looking on at the scene with strange expressions.

Luckily, Tang Ye wasn’t planning to take their lives, only knocking them unconscious.

Otherwise, the scene would have been extremely bloody.

After taking care of the guards, Tang Ye looked at the gamblers in front of him and reminded them in a deep voice, "Move, if you don’t want to die."

Exchanging glances, the gamblers ultimately cleared a path for Tang Ye, prioritizing their own lives. But suddenly, an abrupt gunshot made Tang Ye pause.

Bang!

Slowly lowering his head, he looked at his coat, which now had a conspicuous hole. Tang Ye seemed momentarily dazed, looking towards the direction the gunshot came from, spotting a guard hidden among the gamblers responsible for the shot.

Using his finger, Tang Ye dug the deformed bullet out from the hole in his clothes, fell silent for a moment, then suddenly laughed.

"Hehe... hahaha..." Tang Ye once again turned his gaze to the guard: "Hey, this stuff’s outdated! What made you think of using it?"

The guard’s expression was bitter, but before he could respond, Tang Ye was suddenly in front of him, inducing immediate terror. But before he could react, he felt a tightness around his neck, with Tang Ye lifting him up with one hand!

Death’s fear pushed his survival instincts, as he struggled and pleaded with Tang Ye: "Please... spare me!"

Tang Ye was unmoved by his pleas, exerting a bit of force, and with the sound of bones cracking, the guard died instantly!

"I’m out of patience. You have three seconds to leave here, or I won’t hold back. Anyone in my way will end up like him." Tang Ye’s cold, murderous voice filled the room, making the gamblers realize that the young man before them was a powerful new human!

Who would dare linger?

As soon as Tang Ye’s words fell, people started fleeing the area in panic.

Ignoring them, Tang Ye followed the zombie he sensed, arriving at a wall a few seconds later, and with a "bang," he kicked a hole in the wall!

He walked in and immediately smelled a strong stench of blood.

This was a room next to the casino, unlit and in darkness. When the wall was broken, the light from the casino poured in, scattering the darkness.

Before him lay a messy pile of dried corpses, reduced to skin and bones, seemingly freshly turned, likely drained of all nutrients by something.

There were over thirty such corpses, and nearby lay several individuals.

No, to be precise, several zombies disguised as humans, wearing human clothing.

All these zombies were in a dormant state, showing no signs of movement or breath; an uninformed person would think these were just ordinary corpses.

It seemed these zombies worked at the dried leaves sanctuary’s construction base by day and rested here at night, while the dried-up corpses must have been provided by the Level 8 zombie or others here.

If Tang Ye hadn’t noticed intentionally, he might never have discovered such a secret underground casino in Cloud Gorge Base; a place so hidden, killing a few people here wouldn’t easily come to light.

Without staying longer, Tang Ye moved to the opposite wall, mimicking his previous actions, easily breaking through, and entered the next room. Strangely, no matter how much noise was made, those zombies seemed genuinely dead, showing no reaction.

Just as Tang Ye breached the wall, he saw several people packing things inside. When his figure was revealed through the broken wall, the startled individuals exchanged glances, said nothing, dropped their packed items, and fled towards the door. Tang Ye didn’t bother with them, instead entering the adjacent compartment where books and Chinese textbooks covered the table, and the small blackboard corner was filled with pinyin.

"Stop running, it’s no use."
