Corpse Recovery Diver-Chapter 1224 - 221_3

Tan Wenbin made his way back to his camp, the bonfire still blazing, the sentry outposts still manned, and was welcomed warmly:

"Brother Bin, you're back."

Tan Wenbin nodded at him and sat down by the fire.

His camp was still safe, not yet attacked. He didn't know if it was because everyone here was a "rule-abiding delivery person," or because they were too weak and scattered, left to be dealt with last.

"Brother Bin, here, have some to warm yourself up." Xin Jiyue handed over a small pot filled with steaming fish soup.

Back when she first met him on the island, Xin Jiyue had developed a vague affection for Tan Wenbin. She enjoyed fishing and chatting with him.

After he saved her, her feelings became more intense and clear.

The reason this camp could gather so many people was partly due to her actively recruiting. She believed Tan Wenbin would enjoy the feeling of being in charge.

Tan Wenbin had no desire to drink the soup, pushing it aside and saying, "Go and call everyone together, all of them."

"Okay, Brother Bin."

Soon, everyone gathered, including those on watch.

Tan Wenbin didn't mince words: "Listen, the island is very dangerous now, many people have already died. I value my life and I don't want to gamble anymore. I'm quitting.

I advise you to throw away any objects imbued with Karmic Energy, hide, and then find a way to leave the island. No matter what, your life is most important.

That's all I have to say, I'm leaving, take care everyone!"

Tan Wenbin stood up, waved his hand, and left without hesitation.

Normally, he could have gathered a group of people here, established a base, which wasn't impossible. At the very least, he could facilitate Brother Xiao Yuan and others when they landed on the island.

But now, he dared not risk his life here, believing Brother Xiao Yuan would never allow him to do something foolish.

The group was perplexed, not understanding why "Brother Bin" suddenly went mad and gave up, how was that possible?

Tan Wenbin knew he couldn't disband the gang. People's greed, especially for power, is hard to give up; even if he left, they would soon elect another leader.

But what Tan Wenbin didn't expect was that two people followed him.

One was Xin Jiyue, the other was Wu Qinhai.

"Brother Bin, I'm listening to you." Xin Jiyue caught up, grabbing Tan Wenbin's arm with one hand, and opened her chest with the other, "Look, I threw away the bodice, there's nothing inside!"

Both her words and actions had obvious implications, but Tan Wenbin could not afford to avoid suspicion, so he leaned in to look carefully, indeed it was empty.

Wu Qinhai: "Brother Bin, you saved my life, whatever you say goes. I threw away my tea bag along with Jiyue's bodice, leaving all the Karmic Energy inside to them. They're already selecting a new leader."

Tan Wenbin reached out to feel Wu Qinhai, then called his two godsons to help him smell it out. When his godsons responded saying they sensed no source of Karmic Energy, Tan Wenbin believed they had thrown the goods away.

Xin Jiyue: "Brother Bin, after leaving the island, where do you plan to go? I have no home anyway, I'll just go with you."

Tan Wenbin: "Let's not talk about that for now, come here, hide well."

The location was not far from the camp, a perfect observation point.

Although Xin Jiyue and Wu Qinhai didn't understand why they needed to do this, they followed orders, concealing themselves.

The rain kept pouring down, unlike the camp with tents and bonfires, getting soaked in a ditch outside was not pleasant at all.

After hiding for a while, Wu Qinhai wanted to ask, but Tan Wenbin covered his mouth.

"Shh..."

A tingling sensation from the shoulder to the tailbone struck again.

"Who are you?"

"Who are you!"

"Ah!"

"Ah!"

Screams kept echoing, Tan Wenbin saw the supply store grandma and the Lighthouse Elder. 𝕗𝕣𝐞𝐞𝘄𝐞𝚋𝚗𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗹.𝚌𝕠𝚖

Two elders approached the camp from opposite directions, despite the rain washing over them, the bloody sticky feeling on them remained, obviously having killed elsewhere before coming here.

The camp wasn't filled with ordinary powerless people; seeing the two start killing as soon as they appeared, they immediately began Divination to summon power.

However, regardless of whether they did Divination or not, there was no difference in outcome.

Each time the grandma's long spear pierced out, it would penetrate someone's chest; each time the Lighthouse Elder's Lock Chain swung, it would crush someone's head.

This wasn't a fight, but a unilateral massacre.

Soon, apart from the two of them, there was no one standing in the entire camp.

The two elders began collecting objects containing Karmic Energy from the corpses, which might be more exhausting for them than killing.

Wu Qinhai and Xin Jiyue widened their eyes, not daring to make a sound.

Tan Wenbin frowned deeply, it really was a slaughter, everyone holding objects with Karmic Energy were their targets for killing.

Is life really impossible here? Or was it just coincidental, that this batch had enough gathered Karmic Energy?

At this moment, the two elders looked up, their purple eyes fixed at the sky, making sounds from their throats.

In the thunderstorm, a flock of monstrous birds emerged, landing to ravenously feast on the corpses below.

Once a corpse was devoured, even the clothes were stolen by the giant birds.

As for the blood stains, as long as the rain didn't stop tonight, all would be washed away.

The supply store grandma and the Lighthouse Elder lowered their heads, starting to face each other.

They seemed to be talking, but Tan Wenbin was too far away, with the rain, thunder, and bird calls mixed together, he couldn't hear what they were saying.

If Brother Xiao Yuan were here, it would be great; with his hearing, he could probably understand their conversation.

"The Karmic Energy has not been collected sufficiently."

"This is the directive of the elder, we must swiftly clear the field, erase all Karmic Energy here, cleanse the island thoroughly."

"You are closer to the elder, do you know why we have to do this?"

"The elder said: 'A formidable presence, not to be trifled with, is about to land on the island.'"
