Zhang Mingze gritted his teeth so hard that they almost broke. He didn’t expect that Jiang Lius.h.i.+ had made a full preparation. In that way, he was doomed to be killed by Jiang Lius.h.i.+!
“Nonsense!” Zhang Mingze jumped and shouted to Jiang Lius.h.i.+, “You want to steal Qionghai City’s resources! Everyone! I have never mistreated you! Did you forget that many ordinary people here need your help? The one standing in front of you is a wanted man. He wants to plunder the city and become its new leader. If you fall for his schemes, you will all be undeserving of wearing our national emblem!”
Before his voice died away, two gunshots sounded. Zhang Mingze stared at Jiang Lius.h.i.+ agape. Zhang Mingze could not believe that Jiang Lius.h.i.+ had just shot him. Then, his body fell down to the ground heavily.
Luo Jiafeng was terrified, and his back was drenched in cold sweat. He found that not only was Jiang Lius.h.i.+ powerful but also very decisive. Upon realizing that, he knew it impossible to run away or kill Jiang Lius.h.i.+. Thus, he gave on resisting and racked his brain on how to preserve his life.
Luo Jiafeng could not have ascended to his current position if he were an idiot. He knew that Jiang Lius.h.i.+ had yet to kill him as he was still useful.
Jiang Lius.h.i.+ threw a cold glance at Zhang Mingze’s corpse, and then he turned to look at the soldiers. “You can rest a.s.sured that I’m not coveting Qionghai City’s riches or have any interest in it,” shouted Jiang Lius.h.i.+,
In the case that Jiang Lius.h.i.+ wanted to act like an overlord one day, he would not limit himself with that city. What’s more, given the complexity of the situation, Jiang Lius.h.i.+ just wanted to go as soon as possible.
“No matter what you decide, it all depends on you! You can stay here or leave at once.”
Upon hearing Jiang Lius.h.i.+’s words, some soldiers began to hesitate. They didn’t want to be controlled by others like a gun, but they also didn’t want to leave Qionghai City. After all, they had been living there for a long time. If Jiang Lius.h.i.+ wanted to live there, they wouldn’t stop him. However, Jiang Lius.h.i.+ had shown his intention. Most of them wanted to leave in search for the real army. Originally, they had been under the impression that Qinghai City was a military region. But they were mistaken. Even a seemingly ordinary survivor knew more than them. Moreover, even the Storm Squad had abandoned the city, so how could they keep rendering their services to treacherous individuals?
“We’d like to leave Qionghai City, but we don’t know where we should go!” said an officer.
“Jiangning Safety Zone and Star City Base are okay. You can also consider Xiayuan Safety Island, but since Li Yinqiang also joined that mysterious organization, you should gather intel first. It all depends on you!” said Jiang Lius.h.i.+.
Since those soldiers wanted to leave, they naturally had to consider their next steps carefully. Thus, Jiang Lius.h.i.+ told them everything he knew.
After that, Jiang Lius.h.i.+ walked in front Luo Jiafeng and said, “Didn’t you say that you had some savings? Feel free and tell us about your savings.”
In Luo Jiafeng’s mind, Jiang Lius.h.i.+’s smile was just like a devil’s smile.
Sun Kun held Luo Jiafeng up directly like one would pick up a stray dog.
“Oh, the tank should be given back to me!” Zhang Hai ran quickly to that tank, touching it carefully like it was his lover.
Several soldiers discussed it, and then they gave it to Zhang Hai. n.o.body would like to get in conflict with Jiang Lius.h.i.+ anymore.
Then, Zhang Hai drove his tank, following Jiang Lius.h.i.+’s tour bus. They were driving to Luo Jiafeng’s private warehouse. The warehouse was actually located in the headquarters’ underground parking lot. After entering, Jiang Lius.h.i.+ felt surprised by the piled sacks of grain and dried mutant meat, as well as the amount of ammunition and weapons.
Jiang Lius.h.i.+ waved his hands and said to Zhang Hai and Sun Kun, “As long as you like something, take it.”
“Good idea!” Zhang Hai and Sun Kun got to work immediately and grabbed everything they like an experienced pair of robbers.
Jiang Zhuying also partook in the fun and found a safe. After opening the safe, she found it was full of mutant nuclei and evolution crystals.
“Wow! This Luo fellow has quite the collection,” said Jiang Zhuying excitedly. There were about 20 mutant nuclei and 20 evolution crystals.
“Where did you get so many things?” asked Jiang Lius.h.i.+.
Even the formal military couldn’t have gathered that many nuclei and crystals. Moreover, people would consume the crystals after getting. How could so many crystals be stored there?
“The organization provided them. Some of them to reward me, while the others to be used as gifts to newcomers,” answered Luo Jiafeng.
“Oh, no wonder.” Jiang Lius.h.i.+ nodded. He finally knew why those people were eager to join the mysterious organization.
Jiang Lius.h.i.+ smiled and said, “That’s good. I will collect them all.” He never expected that he could gain so many this time. Amongst them, three were level-2 mutant nuclei. Jiang Lius.h.i.+ needed more and more of them to upgrade his MCV.
Luo Jiafeng felt like vomiting blood while Jiang Lius.h.i.+ and his team were stealing the fruits of his hard work.
Luo Jiafeng said, “Captain Jiang, as you can see my intentions are sincere. I don’t want to be your enemy-”
“If you don’t want to die, you should…” Jiang Lius.h.i.+ interrupted Luo Jiafeng, “…help me.”
Luo Jiafeng controlled his anger and asked, “Captain Jiang, I have given you everything I have. You even dismissed the entire military region. What else do you want to from me?”
“The organization!” replied Jiang Lius.h.i.+ directly.
Suddenly, Luo Jiafeng’s expression changed, not expecting that Jiang Lius.h.i.+ would be such a bodacious man. He not only dared to kill him inside Qionghai City, but also wanted to fight against that organization. For Jiang Lius.h.i.+, Luo Jiafeng was just an appetizer. The mysterious organization behind him was his real target. That’s why Jiang Lius.h.i.+ hadn’t killed Luo Jiafeng.
“Do you want to fight against the whole organization?” asked Luo Jiafeng.
“Yes, what’s the matter?” asked Jiang Lius.h.i.+.
Luo Jiafeng lowered his head, showing a strange expression. It was clear to him that Jiang Lius.h.i.+ was unaware of the organization’s scary power. Even he, who was the top leader of Qionghai City, couldn’t get close to the core power of the organization. Actually, he had been cultivated by that organization step by step. No ordinary survivors could imagine the whole process. Therefore, Luo Jiafeng believed Jiang Lius.h.i.+ was looking for death.
“The organization has been in contact with me through the radio. But now that Li Yinqiang and I stumbled on you, I’m afraid that the news will soon be sent to the organization. They will adjust their strategy, so whatever you learn from me about the organization will be useless,” replied Luo Jiafeng.
“But…our organization just informed me of an important piece of news. Li Yinqiang came here to find me just because of it. He wanted us to go together to the place that our leader will be and give us more details. If you are quick enough, you can get to that place in advance before they announce…”
“Brother Jiang, he’s egging us to go,” said Ling coldly.
Jiang Lius.h.i.+ nodded. Of course, he knew what they were about to do would be extremely dangerous. Moreover, except for Li Yinqiang and Luo Jiafeng, Jiang Lius.h.i.+ guessed that many others would to go to that place.
“Let me give you a bit of advice,” said Luo Jiafeng. “Do you think our organization will do nothing after knowing you killed us? I’m afraid that you will suffer a lot when you meet our organization.”
“It’s none of your business. But if you keep speaking to me in that way, a great calamity is at hand,” said Jiang Lius.h.i.+.
Upon hearing Jiang Lius.h.i.+’s warning, Luo Jiafeng immediately sh*t up.
“Weapon!” said Ran Xiyu suddenly.
Luo Jiafeng was shocked, and he stared at Ran Xiyu, whose grey eyes were also looking at him.
“That thing is quite important to you. That’s why the word always appears in your mind,” said Ran Xiyu.
“What’s that?” asked Jiang Lius.h.i.+.
Luo Jiafeng felt desperate, while a chill ran down his spine. He never thought that his enemy could even know what he was thinking. How terrible was that!? Jiang Lius.h.i.+’s question made him feel nervous. The longer he kept silence, the more he could sense Jiang Lius.h.i.+’s killing intention.
“You win, I will tell you everything. The so-called ‘weapon’ is a new discovery. As what it is, even we don’t know. We were only told that as long as we could get it, we would become more and more powerful. Then, be it mutant zombies or beasts, they would not be our opponents anymore. We call it ‘weapon’ because as long as we got it, we could turn into an ent.i.ty with many modern heavy weapons in our disposal.”
