Void Jigsaw Puzzle

Chapter 133 Confrontation

After tying up Pierce, Zhong Chenmu was finally free.

He no longer needed to follow Pierce closely, hold him at knifepoint, and monitor him at all times. He could focus on solving the final problem with the main leaders of the Jigsaw Team: the Grape Moon Team.

The team arrived at the entrance of Cuiyun Corridor in a mighty manner. Zhong Chenmu persuaded some of them to leave and came to support voluntarily, but they were not ordinary people from the Jigsaw Team.

"Thank you for your support, but we are incredibly close to victory, and there may still be danger. Everyone, go home and wait for our good news. We will definitely keep Wuming City going and complete our civilization!"

So, another group of people who listened to the advice left, and the puzzle team, which had lined up again, was led by Old Man Liu, Fan Ting, Huo Zhenqiang, Guo Yue and others, and surrounded the entrance of Cuiyun Corridor tightly.

Opposite them was a small team from the Pu Yue team.

Pu Yue had received intelligence from the sentry post, so he ordered everyone to prepare for battle at Nitou Mountain, and sent a small team through the Cuiyun Corridor trail to the entrance.

"You don't need to fight them properly. Just lure them in. Once they reach the Nitou Mountain area, it will be our territory!" Pu Yue instructed.

At this time, the Pu Yue team no longer had any other members of the Twelve Apostles available. Wu Yue had been killed by her in the auditorium at the entrance of Cuiyun Corridor. Shuang Yue had always been dissatisfied with this, so although she had surrendered earlier, she also resigned from the position of leader.

She could only use coercion and inducement, and with her own beauty, she cultivated a few reckless men who were willing to lick their loyalty for the sake of beauty to serve as the leaders of her subordinate teams. The one who was ordered to lead the team to the entrance of Cuiyun Corridor to block the Jigsaw Team was one of them, named Reckless.

Reckless' mind was filled with Pu Yue's alluring voice and figure, and he kept muttering to himself, "No need for a proper battle, just lure them in..."

Seeing that Team Pu Yue had only sent out a few dozen people, Zhong Chenmu, who was standing opposite, guessed in his heart: "She is trying to lure the enemy deeper..."

However, the leader of these dozens of people looked burly, stupid, and not very smart, so he suddenly wanted to test his strength.

"I am Zhong Chenmu, the captain of the puzzle team. I want your captain Pu Yue to come out and speak." Zhong Chenmu shouted.

Reckless replied in a muffled voice: "Our captain is at Nitou Mountain and has no time to deal with you."

"You don't think you can stop us with just a few dozen of you, do you? Let me tell you, your team, Team Pu Yue, has long been a hollow carrot. The main force attacking our base before was your team, and hundreds of people died in that series of attacks..."

"...And in the pine and cypress forests of Cuiyun Corridor, conservatively estimated, there are about a hundred people buried. They are all members of your Puyue team..."

Before Zhong Chenmu finished speaking, he heard someone say this from nowhere.

He looked in the direction of the sound and saw a ragged, disheveled man swaggering out from the thick fog of Cuiyun Corridor.

It was Guo Ling, whom he had just separated from a few days ago!

Zhong Chenmu was surprised and delighted: "Brother Guo? Are you... okay? How did you get out of here?"

Guo Ling waved his hand. "What a poorly written line! Of course I have something to do! I'm almost fainting from hunger!"

Having said that, he walked to the Jigsaw Team's camp under everyone's gaze, nodding and greeting a group of acquaintances.

Among these people, Fan Ting was the most excited.

At the beginning, after the two separated in the Ciqikou factory, she always felt that she owed Guo Ling. If Guo Ling had not held back the people from the Yayue team, she would not have been able to escape from death.

Since then, Guo Ling's fate has been uncertain, and she has been worried about him all the time. But then the battle broke out and Dong Xingwen was shot and killed. Fan Ting temporarily focused all her attention on revenge. Now seeing Guo Ling alive again, how could she not be excited?!

Fan Ting was trembling all over, with crystal beads rolling in her eyes. She tried hard to control her emotions. Although she wanted to rush up and hug the man, she knew she couldn't.

Guo Ling also saw Fan Ting and caught every subtle movement and expression of hers. His heart trembled, but thousands of words finally turned into a smile full of warmth.

After reaching Zhong Chenmu, Guo Ling quickly and quietly relayed his findings to the young man: "In the area I just left, there aren't any pine or cypress trees left. In other words, all the trees in that area have been cut down. The people who cut the trees were all young men sent by Team Pu Yue. Perhaps to maintain secrecy, they were all killed in the forest. This is all shrouded in thick fog. Once the fog clears, the truth will be revealed."

Zhong Chenmu asked in a low voice: "If this is true, what do you think is the reason?"

"After the large weapons emerge from the underground factory, they'll enter the Cuiyun Corridor. If the Cuiyun Corridor remains covered in pine and cypress trees as usual, even if they reach the surface, they won't be able to leave the Cuiyun Corridor and exert their true effectiveness. Therefore, the trees were cut down to create a relatively flat area to welcome the arrival of the large weapons. I had limited time and abilities, so I could only explore that area. At least that area is now flat, perfect for the movement of large weapons."

Zhong Chenmu nodded: "I agree with your judgment. It seems that we need to speed up the pace."

"Yes, time waits for no one!"

After that, Guo Ling pointed at Lu Mang and asked, "Are you the leader of this team?"

Seeing this madman not only emerge from the dense fog of Cuiyun Corridor but also look extremely unkempt, Rumang replied unhappily, "Grandpa won't argue with you."

"Your squad is truly full of talented individuals. Every time they go out on a mission, they've got men and women sneaking off into the thick fog to practice field artillery. The key is that you, the captain, haven't noticed yet. Haha, how funny! But it's also thanks to their guidance, otherwise I wouldn't have found a way out so quickly."

Ruman's face flushed and his neck became thick: "Watch your words, kid!"

However, he did not continue speaking, but glanced at his own camp with the corner of his eye and understood everything.

"Damn it, it's that pretty boy again... I don't know how many women he's ruined. When will it be my turn to be so popular?"

Zhong Chenmu didn't let the conversation escalate any further, and continued, "Well, did you hear that? Your Pu Yue team has already lost nearly 40% of its personnel. Instead of concentrating your superior forces to fight us properly, you're splitting up into small groups of a few dozen people and fighting in rotation? I'll give you one more chance. Call Pu Yue out for a conversation. If she's willing to give us a chance, we'll give her, and you, a chance too."
