Chapter 301: Only the Red Gate
Outside the inn, hundreds of people in flowery shirts eagerly awaited.
A moment later.
They saw Mountain Falcon walk out, followed by a bewildered Yang Hao, missing an arm.
Standing on the second floor.
Mountain Falcon looked down at the followers below, his face filled with bitterness.
Finally clearing his throat, he declared.
“Starting from tonight, no more ‘flowery shirts,’ only ‘the red gate.'”
The members of the flowery shirts gang were stunned, then many showed a hint of sadness in their eyes.
They probably guessed what happened.
An era has come to an end.
Next, under the orders of Mountain Falcon and Yang Hao, the original ‘Floral Shirt’ gang, now renamed ‘Red Gate,’ left cleanly.
Following the previous agreement, Mountain Falcon took away Lei Qi’s body for a discreet burial.
Initially, Luo Yan wanted to dismiss the two women with Lei Qi, but the two beautiful women begged Luo Yan to let them stay with tears in their eyes.
They claimed that they had been with Lei Qi for a long time, and now that Lei Qi was gone, they had no one to rely on. They feared retaliation or being forced into illegal activities.
Wen Zou also suggested having two women by Captain Red Ghost’s side was necessary to maintain a certain image. He mentioned that every boss had to have one or two women by their side.
Ultimately, Luo Yan let the fake Taoist figure out his own living arrangements and left.
Upon returning to the academy, Luo Yan took out the ‘Heiwu’ phone and updated the content of two tasks.
Soon, Team 7 received notice of a recruitment task. ‘Heiwu’ mentioned that soon someone would come to inspect the team’s quality. If they pass, Team 7 can move on to the next mission.
Finally, the exciting night came to an end.
In West Wind Pavilion, a dog meat shop, two figures entered. A man with yellow teeth said, “Give us a pot, we just finished watching a big show and our stomachs are growling.”
After the two sat down, the man with yellow teeth shook his head and said, “Unbelievable, truly unbelievable.”
“You know, the Captain of Team 7 is just a kid. He arrived in Guangling a few days ago and already defeated a local gang, absorbing their power.”
“At this speed, even the woman from Team 1 would be impressed.”
The other man, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, took out a cigarette, put it on his lips, and smiled, “Should we get involved in this Team 7 matter?”
The man with yellow teeth chuckled, “You’ve been around the block, you should know how to handle this, right?”
“No need to get involved, almost got dragged into trouble by that guy with the surname Liu.”
“Did you see that just now? The kid at the inn swung a knife. Could you block it? I couldn’t.”
“We can just make up an excuse for Mr. Liu and let him handle it himself.”
The burly man with thick eyebrows blew out smoke and said, “I think he’s in trouble now. Mr. Liu has invested all his assets in that base.”
“Now that the base is gone, he’ll have to sell even his underwear to make up for it. We can’t worry about him for now.”
The man with big yellow teeth chuckled, “Well, let’s finish this dog meat quickly and then leave.”
Before long, the dog meat was served, along with two bottles of wine. The two of them enjoyed their meal.

Forbidden Area No 3, Misty Canyon.
Safe zone.
A group of gold prospectors hurried along, wearing all sorts of clothes and equipment. One of them even wore a damaged helmet with a visible electronic screen.
The composition of the gold prospector team was very complex, but a guide was essential.
A good guide can increase the team’s survival rate by 30%.
Chen Ran considered himself a good guide and had been leading people in the forbidden area for over a year.
Don’t underestimate this year. To walk in the forbidden area for a year without dying can be considered a top guide, a seasoned guide.
So, Chen Ran has a unique feature. He is expensive. In addition to a high commission, if he successfully leads the team back to the base, he gets 5% of the team’s earnings.
But there is a reason for his high price. In this year, Chen Ran has not made any mistakes.
“Let’s stop here for a moment.”
Chen Ran raised his hand and looked around. This was an abandoned observation post.
Despite being in ruins and overgrown with vines, this was one of the few safe spots. Chen Ran often rested here with the team to regain strength before continuing the journey. The remaining path would be much safer.
Captain Zhuo Long of the Gold Rush Team, relying on his experience, pointed out two or three vantage points and then deployed the firepower members of the team.
A little girl was about to make a fire to cook when Chen Ran kicked away her things and said, “Are you not afraid of giant beasts or parasites lurking around here?”
“Also, don’t forget, besides giant beasts and parasites, mutated animals or plants can also be troublesome in forbidden areas. Be careful.”
The girl pouted, didn’t dare to argue, and took out some compressed biscuits to eat with water.
Captain Zhuo Long chuckled, “Guide, how long until we can return to base?”
Chen Ran looked at the sky and said, “We should be able to return before evening, as long as nothing unexpected happens.”
He looked around and saw twisted trees like ghosts, the ground dried up, and branches filled the air.
It looked the same as usual, but Chen Ran felt nervous, so he said, “In 10 minutes, we will start our journey.”
“Only 10 minutes?”
“We have been walking all morning, my legs feel like they’re going to give out. Can’t we rest a bit more?”
The team members started to complain.
Zhuo Long wiped his sweat and said, “Yes, everyone is tired. Let’s rest for 20 minutes. No, 15 minutes should be fine.”
“Today we haven’t seen a single ghost.”
Chen Ran frowned, seeing everyone exhausted, and nodded, “15 minutes, no more.”
After speaking, he found a clean spot to sit down, took a sip of water, and moistened his mouth.
At that moment, a man with a sniper rifle on a high point shouted, “Captain, there’s something happening at 3 o’clock.”
Chen Ran shivered, quickly jumped up, and was about to climb the high point when he saw something white floating down in front of him.
He paused, looked up, and saw snowflakes falling from the sky above the forbidden area.
“Is it snowing?” The girl eating a ration biscuit raised her head and reached out to catch a snowflake.
“Quick…”
Chen Ran seemed to realize something and shouted, “Hurry, it’s White Rain! An upper-rank giant beast, White Rain!”
Without packing up, he dashed out of the camp, before the others could react, there was a loud ‘croak.’
Then the sky darkened, people looked up, and saw a huge shadow passing overhead.
The shadow was too large to see clearly, all that could be seen were lumps with faces embedded on them.
Human faces.
Men, women, young, and old, hundreds and thousands!
