72 Chapter - Can’T Hurt The Tree Man?

"Li Haiwen, what the hell are you still standing there for? Are you out of money?!"

The man shouted again, and Bai Cheng was slightly startled.

Immediately after, she heard a dull thud from the treehouse not far behind her, and four more people emerged from it one after another.

The scar-faced man leading them, riding an ox, also had a sinister expression. "Damn it, do you know how expensive these Tree Soldiers are?!"

No sooner had he finished speaking than six Tree Soldiers, clad in hard wooden armor, slowly approached from not far away, stopping in front of the four.

At the same time, two more groups of Survivors appeared to Bai Cheng's ★ 𝐍𝐨𝐯𝐞𝐥𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭 ★ right-rear and right-front.

The leaders of each group rode mounts, and behind the others followed various Employees, and without exception, all these people brought already hired Tree People.

They stopped not far away, each person's face bearing either a smile or excitement.

"This little chick is even prettier than in the photos, she's got it."

"Look at you, so uncultured. Anyone seeing you would think we've never touched a woman. One time each, later one time each!"

"This Pioneer is just a little girl. What's the difference between her and us? To have nearly twenty people against her alone?"

"Hmph, why are you thinking so much? You can't harm each other inside the station. She's still too naive!"

The leader also sneered, his eyes full of unconcealed disdain: "All the surrounding Tree People have been hired by us. What if she's powerful? What if she has talent?"

"Today, she can't escape even if she had wings!"

These people's conversations were completely unreserved. In their eyes, Bai Cheng was already fish on a chopping block, ready to be slaughtered.

So they did not act immediately, but instead let their aggressive gazes fall wantonly on Bai Cheng, seemingly waiting for her to beg for mercy.

At this moment, Bai Cheng merely frowned, her gaze sweeping across everything within sight.

A total of 19 Survivors, 13 men and 6 women. Everyone on the entire platform was here.

They stared at her, each with a smug expression.

And those hired Tree People formed a circle, subtly surrounding her in the center of this not-so-spacious street.

It was clear that these Survivors had recognized Bai Cheng's identity as the Pioneer from the very beginning.

"So these people didn't immediately appear in the town because they were hiring Tree People to deal with me?" Bai Cheng's face instantly darkened.

But how did they gather together? And how did they recognize her?

Although Bai Cheng had some questions, she didn't care.

The confidence revealed on the faces of Scarlet Flame and Zi Yuan made Bai Cheng firmly believe that this was not a crisis at all.

Wait, where's Zi Yuan?

Bai Cheng looked back, only to find that Zi Yuan was still at the entrance of the treehouse behind her, poking her head out, looking at something inside the house.

She certainly knew the priorities and wouldn't act with a cynical attitude, so this meant...

"Zi Yuan, what's in the house?" Bai Cheng ignored the Tree People surrounding her and asked.

"Miss, there's a message on the screen from the Lieche Zhang (Train Conductor) named Leng Ningxue," Zi Yuan explained without turning her head.

But she seemed worried that the two Tree People in the treehouse would discover her looking at the screen and expose her, so she only took a quick glance before retracting her head, playing a game of peek-a-boo with the Tree People.

Bai Cheng's mouth twitched. "It's clearly weirder this way!"

However, Leng Ningxue should also be in the station at this time, right? How would she have time to send her a message?

Bai Cheng raised an eyebrow slightly, a little puzzled.

Then, she directly ignored the surrounding Tree People and returned to the wooden house behind her.

This action immediately caused all the Survivors to be stunned.

"Wen Ge, what's this chick doing running into the treehouse?" One of them said with a smirk and an evil smile, "Could it be that she's scared and wants to beg for mercy, and went into the room to take off her clothes? Hahahaha!"

These words immediately made everyone laugh out loud, and at the same time made some people even more excited.

"There's no way out of this station. She can't run. Surround her!"

There were four Survivor teams in total, and they all gave orders to the Tree People they had hired.

And these Tree People were almost all the Tree People visible nearby, so everyone had even less to worry about Bai Cheng temporarily recruiting help.

In short, she was finished!

However, at this moment, Bai Cheng was still standing inside the wooden house, looking at the message Leng Ningxue had sent her, her brows slightly furrowed.

Leng: "Bai Cheng, I found out an important piece of information: all the Survivors' trains are parked together!"

Leng: "Also, before you find the pass, absolutely do not harm those Tree People, otherwise, once the town riots, the pass will disappear!"

"No wonder these Survivors could unite so quickly," Bai Cheng suddenly realized, "It turns out their trains are all docked together."

And Leng Ningxue also told her a very important piece of information: she couldn't harm the Tree People!

Fortunately, this information came in time, otherwise Bai Cheng was about to make a move.

At the same time, she guessed that after the town rioted, it might be related to her spoils mission.

"She really helped me a lot." A hint of gratitude appeared on Bai Cheng's face, and she was already thinking about what to give her as a gift after setting off.

But now she had no time, and the situation didn't allow her to do so.

Bai Cheng immediately replied to thank her, but after a moment of stunned, she didn't receive a reply.

Of course, along the way, she didn't forget to inform Yu Nian of this important information.

"I suppose Leng Ningxue's situation must also be very difficult."

But even so, she still took the time to tell her these things.

Perhaps Leng Ningxue knew Bai Cheng's strength and understood that Bai Cheng's first reaction after being surrounded by many Survivors would never be to compromise.

But in any case, the other party truly regarded Bai Cheng as a friend, after all, the collected intelligence would certainly not be free.

"Okay, this Miss has decided to make this friend!"

Bai Cheng retracted her gaze and looked out the door again. At this moment, the Tree People on the street had gathered, almost completely surrounding the treehouse.

She frowned tightly. If she couldn't harm these Tree People, how was she going to escape the current situation?

At this moment, a Survivor behind this group of Tree People, who seemed to be their leader, spoke up.

"Bai Cheng, give up resisting. There are no rules restricting hiring Tree People!"

"Young master, I'll give you a chance. If you strip off your clothes, stick out your butt, and hand over all your supplies right now... we guarantee to make you feel like you're in heaven, hahahaha!"

Hearing this, Bai Cheng's face darkened, clearly angered.

Zi Yuan and Scarlet Flame were equally furious and wanted to act, but she stopped them.

"This guy knows me?" Bai Cheng was surprised to hear the other party call her name. "Did these guys already know about the Pioneer when they landed at the station?"

But this possibility was very low. Bai Cheng was more inclined to believe it was information they had gathered beforehand.

She frowned and looked back, suddenly thinking of a way to escape. "Only the Tree People can't be harmed..."

"Zi Yuan."

"Yes, Miss."
