Chapter 559: Hunting Together
Translator: Liu_Kaixuan Editor: Valvrave
‘Everything is going according to the plan!’ thought Jiang Lius.h.i.+ happily.
If they headed into Qionghai City directly, he would worry about some dangers. But now, he just needed to stand by a tree stump waiting for the hare to come on his own.
“Xiyu, pay more attention to them. We are waiting for our guests.”
…
In the next day, Chen Ting was still very amiable and led them to Qionghai City with a smile. When they pa.s.sed by a small town, Chen Ting drove to a hotel’s parking lot and stopped there. The hotel was surrounded by walls with only one entrance. It had a parking lot, a gazebo, a rockery, and a small building. The environment was quite simple without any obstruction.
“Captain Jiang, would you like to have a rest here?” asked Chen Ting.
Jiang Lius.h.i.+ glanced at him and answered, “Okay.”
Chen Ting felt nervous when Jiang Lius.h.i.+ glanced at him. ‘Did he notice something? Well, it is too late,’ thought Chen Ting, comforting himself. Then, a glint of happiness flashed through his eyes, and he gestured at his driver.
Suddenly, two cars rushed out of the hotel gate at an extremely high speed. Their speed was so fast that Xie Shasha didn’t react at all. After realizing what was happening, Xie Shasha was almost scared to death. ‘Jiang Lius.h.i.+!’ she shouted in her heart.
Unexpectedly, Jiang Lius.h.i.+ was still calm. Upon seeing the rus.h.i.+ng cars, he asked, “Did you choose this place?”
Chen Ting laughed loudly. “Jiang Lius.h.i.+, this is the burial ground I’ve chosen for you. Are you satisfied with it? Enjoy it to your heart’s content!”
“Jiang Lius.h.i.+, run quickly.” Xie Shasha turned to look at that direction urgently. However, Jiang Lius.h.i.+’s tour bus was still parked there without any movements. Then, some fierce engine roars suddenly came from all directions. Xie Shasha saw countless vehicles rus.h.i.+ng out the gate of the hotel, surrounded the tour bus. They were just like numerous zombies.
At the other end of the street, tanks and armored vehicles also appeared, stopping not far from the hotel. Song Lingfeng couldn’t see the battle that was about to escalate as countless survivors’ teams were rapidly surrounding the tour bus.
‘Today, the s.h.i.+ Ying Squad will know what real power feels like. I don’t know why they’re here, but even if I don’t act, they will be crushed under the mice and hyenas’ might. Commander Luo’s power is unfathomable!’ thought Song Lingchen.
As the commander of the troops, he was uninterested in hunting with a group of survivors’ teams. He only needed for the mice and hyenas to weaken and bring the prey to him.
Xiang Xuehai looked forward so intensely as if her gaze was trying to penetrate the long street and dozens of buildings to see Jiang Lius.h.i.+ in the tour bus. ‘Jiang Lius.h.i.+, are you in there?’ Xiang Xuehai felt as if someone was clenching her heart tightly.
As Xiang Xuehai was about to leave with her members, Song Lingchen stopped her. Soon, several tanks and armored vehicles surrounded them. “Xiang Xuehai, you should keep me company here.”
“Commander Song, what do you mean?” asked Xiang Xuehai angrily.
Song Lingchen’s eyes were fixed on Xiang Xuehai. “s.h.i.+ Ying Squad is like a poor worm that’s about to trampled to death. Are you interested in partic.i.p.ating to such a minor event?” Xiang Xuehai didn’t reply, so he looked back.
“It’s unnecessary for you to partic.i.p.ate and witness that scene. Stay here with me,” added Song Lingchen.
Xiang Xuehai looked into the distance worriedly. She was clenching her hands unconsciously while praying that nothing bad would happen. Then, she glanced at Song Lingchen, her eyes suffusing undetectable killing intent.
…
Xie Shasha looked at those vehicles gathering around with a pale countenance.
“It’s too late!” Chen Ting sneered, looking at Xie Shasha, “You’d better sit here like a good girl and watch how they die.”
Xie Shasha’s body trembled when she heard that, but gradually, her eyes tuned firm. “You can’t kill Jiang Lius.h.i.+!” said Xie Shasha bravely. Although she was afraid, she looked at Chen Ting straight in the eyes.
Chen Ting glanced at Xie Shasha and revealed a strange smile. “Well, just you wait for the outcome.”
…
Song Linchen was wondering what tricks Jiang Lius.h.i.+ could employ before so many people. All the teams were looking at Jiang Lius.h.i.+’s tour bus like a predator was looking at its prey.
“s.h.i.+ Ying Squad, you should surrender quickly.”
“If you surrender, we won’t make things hard for you!” shouted the captain of a survivors’ team.
They had all come to get and share the reward. Everyone felt that it was quite easy to deal with s.h.i.+ Ying Squad since they were cooperating to hunt it down. They were only worried about was the fact that there was too little meat for so many starving wolves to share.
Most of them could see through their winds.h.i.+elds, Jiang Lius.h.i.+’s face behind the tour bus’ winds.h.i.+eld. What astonished them was that despite the unfavorable situation Jiang Lius.h.i.+ was currently in, he was abnormally calm.
“Did he p.i.s.s his pants?”
“Have his legs turned soft? Is he afraid to die?”
“It’s quite normal. If you were in his shoes, wouldn’t you be afraid?”
“Of course, I’d be afraid. Maybe I would commit suicide on the spot…”
They were all talking with each other loudly, disregarding that everyone in the tour bus could hear them. Apparently, they regarded hunting the s.h.i.+ Ying Squad as a joke.
Suddenly, Jiang Lius.h.i.+ revealed a bright smile, shocking many people. Even Chen Ting frowned upon seeing his smile.
“Was he driven mad from shock?”
“Was he so scared that he became a r.e.t.a.r.d?”
Only Chen Ting had an uncomfortable feeling. After all, he had witnessed a part of Jiang Lius.h.i.+’s real power. Among all the people, only his members knew how terrifying the tour bus really was. But no matter how powerful it was, how could it face so many teams and vehicles?
In the end, Chen Ting decided to watch the tigers fighting against each other before making a move. Even if Jiang Lius.h.i.+ had a few more tricks up his sleeves, Chen Ting would use the other teams to force Jiang Lius.h.i.+ to reveal them. Then, Chen Ting would sneak attack when there was a chance.
Upon seeing that they were encircled by such a big group, Jiang Lius.h.i.+ couldn’t help but laugh. It had never crossed his mind that his team would attract so many teams.
All the present teams had come due to Chen Ting’s arrangements. They wanted to drive the s.h.i.+ Ying Squad in a corner. Unfortunately, none of them knew about Ran Xiyu’s existence or the extents of her power. Jiang Lius.h.i.+ had long been aware of the people hiding in the vicinity. Therefore, he had made his preparations in advance. Fortunately, the organization had underestimated Jiang Lius.h.i.+’s power, or else the situation would be different.
“Ying, drive!” shouted Jiang Lius.h.i.+ suddenly.
In the face of so many teams, Jiang Lius.h.i.+ not only didn’t retreat but also, on the contrary, he chose to take the initiative to attack them!
Upon noticing the tour bus charging at the vehicles encircling it, everyone was flabbergasted! They all thought that it was the s.h.i.+ Ying Squad’s desperate attempt to struggle. Thus, they calmed down again and pointed their guns at the das.h.i.+ng tur bus.
In the blink of an eye, more than 100 guns were aimed at the tour bus. At the same time, dozens of off-road vehicles in the forefront, which were like a pack of hyenas, rushed forward quickly.
“It’s the Hyena Squad!”
The Hyena Squad could be regarded as the most powerful team amongst them. The reputation of the hyenas, in general, was very poor. After they caught the prey, they would first bite its throat and then devour it, not even leaving its bones behind. As the name suggested, one could imagine how brutal and frightening the Hyena Squad was.
“In front of every car of the Hyena Squad hangs a steel net full of spikes. I’ve heard that they’ve hunted down countless preys with them. They will eject the nets before colliding with the tour bus and avoid it at the last second. After that, they will attack it from different directions,” explained someone who had heard about their methods.
Suddenly, sharp sounds came from the Hyena Squad’s vehicles as several chains with sharp cone-shaped tips were simultaneously shot.
“This is the Hyena Squad’s secret weapon. They’ve never failed after using it,” added that man. “After the tips penetrate the tour bus, the chains will lock it from different directions. After that, the tour bus will lose its momentum and gradually its mobility. All the pa.s.sengers can do is await for death now.”
Although the tour bus was large, it couldn’t fend off such an attack, or so they thought.
The Hyena Squad’s captain was a middle-aged woman, who was always wearing bold dresses. However, n.o.body dared to underestimate her because of her gender and beauty. When it came to killing, she would never hesitate to do so.
At that moment, she smiled. “The s.h.i.+ Ying Squad’s captain looks pretty good. I like his type. It’s a pity that this is an urgent and important task. If not for it, I’d love to catch and play with him all night long. Unfortunately, he doesn’t seem like a paranormal, so his ‘little brother’s’ performance can’t be good…” said the woman while licking her lips.
Everyone around her was stunned and scared. As her subordinates, they all knew about her unique taste. Plenty of men wanted to make love with the beautiful woman, but in the end, she killed every single one of her lovers. The reason? She was very moody. She may smile now, but in the next moment, she could twist a man’s head directly.
“Actually, it doesn’t matter. As long as I kill him, n.o.body will care how I did it,” said the woman and laughed.
At that moment, the fast-moving chains’ cone-shaped tips struck the tour bus. However, in the next moment, everyone was dumbfounded, the Hyena Squad’s Captain included.
“What? How could this be possible?”
The cone-shaped tips had been reflected and sent flying backward, leaving only faint traces on the tour bus’ surface. One had to know that special alloys had been used to craft the tips, which made them tougher than iron. What was used to coat the bus? Was it tougher than special alloys?
After witnessing that scene, everyone stopped talking. They had never expected for something like that to happen.
‘The MCV’s sh.e.l.l has received 5% damage,’ transmitted Sta.r.s.eed.
Jiang Lius.h.i.+ was annoyed as it was the first time the MCV had been damaged after its upgrade.
‘It seems that I’ve underestimated the survivors’ teams and their means,’ thought Jiang Lius.h.i.+.
“Since you can’t catch me, it’s my turn to hunt you,” said Jiang Lius.h.i.+ coldly.
“Get close to them!” shouted the Hyena Squad’s captain. The Hyena Squad reacted swiftly after the failed attempt, getting as close to the tour bus as possible. Then, they threw many pointy objects at the tour bus’ tires.
At that moment, the tour bus’ engine let out a deafening sound, which made the bus look as if it was a roaring beast. Following that, the tour bus accelerated, das.h.i.+ng toward one of the Hyena Squad’s off-road vehicles instead of avoiding it.
The off-road vehicle’s driver hurriedly changed direction, but it was too late. The vehicles collided, generating a loud sound. After the collision, the off-road vehicle sent flying, cras.h.i.+ng heavily on the ground and rolling like a tin can for a few meters. When it stopped rolling, the off-road vehicle was so deformed that it resembled a big ball of sc.r.a.p metal. In no time, its engine exploded, evoking raging fire and thick billowing smoke.
At the same time, several off-road vehicles tried to encircle the tour bus yet again, but the bus was quite flexible and fast, breaking free in no time. Such a feat was a piece of cake for Jiang Lius.h.i.+!
