Chapter 627: Expel?
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
It was a formidable feat for five of them to kill almost 160 opponents all by themselves. The people they killed were not normal commoners. They were a.s.sa.s.sins that had been specially trained by the Soul Society. There were even some a.s.sa.s.sins from the Black Rank and even the Red Rank.
Qi Long smiled. “I can finally do some workout.” The moment he finished speaking, he disappeared.
Li Lanfeng and Zhao Jun smiled at each other. They disappeared too.
Li Yingjie looked at the empty balcony. He turned and asked Lin Zhong-qing, “Where did they go?”
Lin Zhong-qing pointed below them. “They went out to kill people.”
Li Yingjie was furious. He exclaimed, “Why didn’t they ask me?”
Lin Zhong-qing glanced at him with contempt. “Do you need to be asked? Don’t you know how to a.n.a.lyze the situation yourself? Since 33 people had entered this building, we will be surrounded if we remained on the roof. The best way is to be proactive and sneak down to kill those people.”
Li Yingjie’s expression changed when he heard what Lin Zhong-qing said. He knew that sneaking downstairs to ambush and kill their opponents was the best course of action. However, shouldn’t they gather together and discuss first before acting? Why did they move without even informing each other? How could Boss Lan allow such actions?
In his team, none of his team members were allowed to act on their own.
Lin Zhong-qing noticed Li Yingjie’s puzzled expression. He calmly explained, “Our leader taught us to have our own judgment. He would only correct us if we were wrong.” He suddenly stared at Li Yingjie intently. Li Yingjie shrunk under his gaze. “If you are not able to get use to our team structure, you might be kicked out of the group after the three year protection period for recruits has ended. All the best to you.”
Kicked out? Him? That is impossible! Li Yingjie was furious.
Li Yingjie was a proud person. He never acknowledged anyone. Ling Lan was too powerful so he had no choice but to bow down to her. This was why he was willing to joining the Lingtian Battle Team. However, he never expected himself to be so unwelcomed. He thought that his addition to the team would give glory to the Lingtian Battle Team and Boss Lan would accept him readily.
However, from what Lin Zhong-qing had said, Ling Lan seemed hesitant in accepting him. Li Yingjie felt depressed. Was he worse that Chang Xinyuan who just managed to achieve refinement?
Li Yingjie kicked that thought out of his mind. He was a genius in physical skills and mecha operations. A genius! d.a.m.n it!
Li Yingjie was unconvinced. He thought about the abilities of the other members in the Lingtian Battle Team.
His second brother… likes to experiment with all kinds of agents and medicines. He was someone who liked to torture people using unscrupulous means. He should not compare himself with his second brother. Of course, Li Yingjie would never admit that he was afraid of his second brother and his torture methods.
Qi Long… erm, he was better than him. Let’s ignore him.
Luo Lang… was also as strong as him. But, he would not compare himself to a ladylike man.
Zhao Jun was three years older than him so it was reasonable that he had gained some fame within these three years. There was nothing for him to compare with.
Li Lanfeng… had a weak body. What was his physical skills’ level? Wait, he seemed to be at the late-stage of Qi-Jin? Wasn’t that the same stage as him? He was an ace mecha operator too, right? d.a.m.n, how could he become an ace mecha operator with that body? Li Yingjie suddenly felt that the world was unfair to him.
He couldn’t beat any of these people. He looked at Lin Zhong-qing. At least he was stronger that Lin Zhong-qing who just managed to attain Qi-Jin and was a special-cla.s.s operator… Li Yingjie felt better about himself.
“Even Lin Zhong-qing was not kicked out of the team. So why would I be kicked out. I am not convinced.”
Li Yingjie’s feelings were deeply hurt so he didn’t realize that he spoke his thoughts out loud.
Lin Zhong-qing smiled when he heard this sentence. He took out his backpack and pa.s.sed it to Li Yingjie. “You are stronger than me but I was never a fighter in the first place. I am the logistics leader.” He signaled Li Yingjie to open the backpack.
Li Yingjie looked inside. There were some emergency agents, a bag of compressed biscuit, a few nutrition packs, binoculars, as well as other small tools. Everything was placed neatly in the backpack. In the side pocket, a transparent box was stuffed inside. There were two sticks that looked like cigarette inside the box.
Li Yingjie was stunned. He thought about something and his face changed. “Why do you have this?”
Li Yingjie felt weak in his legs. If one of these sticks exploded, everything within a hundred meters would be turned into ruins… he had never seen the real thing before but in the military academy, they were taught about this. This was the most frightening and most primitive kind of bomb, the TNT bomb.
Lin Zhong-qing took his backpack back and looked at the surroundings with his binoculars. After confirming that there was no one around them, he continued, “Did you think that the opponent only placed one bomb on the cruise?”
Li Yingjie was not stupid. He instantly understood what Lin Zhong-qing was trying to say. “How did you find it?” The search crew from Feiyang s.h.i.+p didn’t find anything on the s.h.i.+p. How did Lin Zhong-qing find them?
Lin Zhong-qing smiled. Just as Li Yingjie thought that he was going to explain, Lin Zhong-qing retracted his smile and said coldly, “Why are you still talking to me? Shouldn’t you be killing opponents with Qi Long and the rest of them? Our team don’t keep useless people.”
Li Yingjie wanted to vomit out blood. Why did you talk so much then? He refuted angrily. “You didn’t go down too.”
Lin Zhong-qing waved the binoculars that was in his hand. “Don’t you know my position in the team?” He was already doing what he was supposed to do.
Li Yingjie’s expression changed again. He didn’t think much of it just now. After Lin Zhong-qing’s reminder, he realized that everyone else had started doing what they were supposed to do. Only he didn’t understand the situation.
Li Yingjie felt depressed. He was too stupid.
“I will not lose to you all!” Li Yingjie shouted angrily before disappearing from the balcony.
“Not lose to us?” Lin Zhong-qing smiled. He felt that he was bullying a little child. That little child didn’t know what to say so he threw this sentence at him and then ran away.
Li Yingjie was not so irritating after all.
Lin Zhong-qing smiled as he raised his binoculars and observed the surroundings again. He didn’t notice anything but his hand was holding a powerful handgun hidden in his bag.
The a.s.sa.s.sins that managed to sneak in gave each other a hand sign when they met. After that, they formed different sized groups and went up.
Everyone had a beam handgun in their hands. A beam handgun was powerful enough and with light recoil. It was accurate and the sound of bullets was light. It was the best handgun for middle-range attacks.
One of the groups consisted of two a.s.sa.s.sins from the Soul Society. They carefully entered the third floor.
One of them walked in the front while the other walked behind him. The one in front checked the path with the other one defended their tracks. They didn’t know if their opponent would come down from the balcony and ambush them. This was like a hide-and-seek game. The one who spotted the other party first would win.
A gentle wind blew pa.s.sed them. The person at the back immediately shot at the direction of the wind. The beam hit the wall and a huge hole was formed.
The person heaved a sigh of relief. He wanted to ask the person in front of the current situation. However, he heard the person in front falling down to the cold hard ground. He wanted to grab the side of his throat but he didn’t manage to do it. He moaned and fell to the ground.
The person felt his hairs standing. He didn’t see their opponent but his comrade was already killed.
As he was panicking, he fired his gun all around him but there was no movement. The person that killed his comrade seemed to have left. He stopped shooting. He wanted to look at his comrade. At this moment, a muscular hand grabbed his neck. He felt a p.r.i.c.k on his neck and his body lost its energy. He fell to the ground as well.
A murderous intent flashed past Qi Long’s eyes. He grabbed his opponent’s jaw and twisted his head. His opponent died.
Qi Long gently placed the corpse at the side. He moved quickly and went to the person who was in the front. He took out the miniature dart from his neck and with a twist, this person died too. Qi Long kept these equipments because he knew that they couldn’t expose their ident.i.ty. The miniature anaesthesia needle was the secret weapon of their battle team.
In another part of the building, similar events happened. However, the a.s.sa.s.sins that were still alive didn’t know what had happened to their comrades. They continued moving upwards towards the balcony.
Lin Zhong-qing was carefully observing his surroundings. Suddenly, something flashed pa.s.sed his eyes. He rushed over and came to a corner of the building. He raised his handgun that had a silencer on it and aimed it down.
An a.s.sa.s.sin was attempting to climb up through a window. The a.s.sa.s.sin sensed something and looked up and saw a black barrel was pointing at him. He instantly jumped at Lin Zhong-qing.
Lin Zhong-qing pulled the trigger calmly. The a.s.sa.s.sin got rebounded off the roof. He clutched his chest in pain as he glared at Lin Zhong-qing with bloodshot eyes.
“Boom!” The a.s.sa.s.sin fell from the fifth floor and slammed into the ground. The area around his body were all stained with blood.
People who were a.s.sa.s.sins must reach manifestation level for their physical skills. Hence, even though this a.s.sa.s.sin was. .h.i.t once by a gun and fell 5 floors down, he still didn’t die. He was just on the brink of death. The only thing that seemed alive were his eyes. They were filled with hatred.
Lin Zhong-qing looked at him nonchalantly. He went back to his position and continued his work.
No one wanted to die. Lin Zhong-qing didn’t want to die too. Thus, the a.s.sa.s.sin had to die,
The death of this a.s.sa.s.sin stopped other people who had similar thoughts. Climbing up from the window was a shortcut to them. But, to the person on the roof, they were easy targets. He could just snipe them without any difficulty.
However, this shot also proved that people were still on the roof. Many a.s.sa.s.sins got bolder. They stopped hiding themselves and quickly rushed up the stairs.
“Boom, boom, boom.” The moment they entered the staircase, bullets rained down on them. Although they were prepared, the first two people who entered still got hit and died on the spot.
The other a.s.sa.s.sins reacted quickly and dodged their bullets. Some hid themselves in their blindspots.
Li Lanfeng and Zhao Jun had already hid themselves behind the walls. Li Lanfeng looked at Zhao Jun as Zhao Jun as entering the room behind him. He climbed down the window and entered the floor below them.
The people from Soul Society didn’t dare to move outside the building but the people from Lingtian had no qualms about it. They trusted Lin Zhong-qing.
Zhao Jun entered the floor below them. Li Lanfeng occasionally fired some shots down so the a.s.sa.s.sins were all focused on him.
In the commanding center of the Soul Society, the young man kept a lookout for the news from the frontline. He was relieved when he knew that 33 people managed to enter the building.
He regretted choosing this point to attack. He thought that it was the weakest but instead, it was the strongest. Almost 200 a.s.sa.s.sins got killed there.
“Is there still no reply from number 37?” The middle-aged man paced around the young man agitatedly and asked him.
