chapter 433: only strong enemies deserve my attention
translator: liu_kaixuan editor: valvrave
hearing this name, everyoneâs face changed. all paranormals were arrogant and unyielding, but there was an exception. undoubtedly, li yinqiang was that exception. he was the top level-2 paranormal in xiayuan safety island, and he had accomplished heroic feats.
when the first beast tide had launched an attack against them, he had led his team, making a big circle behind the beast tide, buried a large number of landmines and other traps, killing lots of mutant beasts. the second time, when a zombie tide had rushed through an underground passage, li yinqiang had stepped in bravely in the event of a shortage of troops. and then he led a team to adhere to the entrance of the underground tunnel for three hours. he had given valuable breathing time to the whole xiayuan safety island. his deeds were spread all over xiayuan. he was the militaryâs key propaganda hero, and as a result, he had become a captain of the militaryâs special force. almost every indigenous inhabitant in the xiayuan safety island held li yinqiang in high respect.
since li yinqiang had stopped lu changfei, the latter would not play any tricks.
âclean up the battlefield. after that, weâll go to dongmo town for our next mission! keep an eye on buck!â shi can ordered loudly with an indifferent expression. he only blinked when his eyes fell on jiang liushi. but he didnât ask any questions. after all, jiang liushiâs shi ying squad was still an independent team.
although they had all experienced a thrilling battle, doom walkerâs members quickly calmed down. those paranormals in this terrible post-apocalyptic world had experienced lots of life and death fight, so they generally had a quite good psychological diathesis. and anyway, buck had also been caught, so the level-3 mission was basically completed. as a result, the overall morale was still there.
the doom walkerâs team set off again and moved forward in the direction of next destination. dongmo town was in the hilly area in the northeastern direction of the stone forest.
however, in black water organizationâs side, even a pin drop could be heard. the atmosphere of the team was very repressed. originally, all the members had been under the impression that they would annihilate doom walker totally because of their boss, lu changfei. unfortunately, nobody had expected that the military would intervene and that they would be forced to leave. everyone felt annoyed because of that reason, especially lu changyang.
sitting in the heavy truck, lu changyang finally couldnât help but ask his brother, âbrother, why did you play with that boy? why did you not take him back and kill him directly?â
âdid you think i was playing with him?â lu changfei looked up and stared at his little brother angrily.
lu changyang was totally scared by his glare. âbrother, your strengthâ¦â
âsh*t up, i know what you want to sayâ¦â lu changfei waved his hand violently, interrupting lu changyang. âdonât look down on him. the man named jiang liushi is stronger than you think. just the fact that his speed could keep up with me proves that he is not simple.â
âwhat?â lu changyang was totally confused. however, he knew that his brother would never lie to him. he pondered over it and then asked again, âbrother, how about doom walker? we must not let them off like that. currently, morale is quite lowâ¦â but then he sneered and said, âthe upcoming level-5 mission will be a quite good chance. many squads will join, so in chaos, we could kill all members of doom walker easily. what do you think brother?â
lu changfei didnât answer at all. in his mind, jiang liushiâs figure would occur from time to time. actually, for lu changfei, only strong opponents deserved him to take action personally. he made up his mind to strengthen himself.
â¦
more than three hours later, doom walkerâs team finally arrived in dongmo town. it was a small town developed along an abandoned national road. on both sides of the street were dumping buildings full of dense plants. many buildings had been broken and disintegrated by plantsâ huge root system, exposing rust-stained steel bars. before the relatively complete town government office building, some dull gunfire sounded suddenly. several zombies had been shot by rifles before rushing there.
presently, the sky was gloomy, and it was almost evening. the snowstorm had stopped, and doom walkerâs members were all hungry after such a day.
shi can pulled a broken plaque and sat on a clean spot. a pile of bonfires had already been ignited in front of him. some people were cooking foods, and others were baking mutant meat. the mutant meat had been marinated for a long time, and it contained a lot less energy, and it did not have a fresh taste. however, no one complained.
âashes team reporting: there are no zombies or mutant beasts in the northeastâ¦â
âfive lanes squad reporting: the west is clear and itâs a safe area within 500 meters. our only blind spot is toward the schoolâs direction. weâve installed barbed wireâ¦â
all the teams came back from the outside one after the other and reported their findings to shi can. âgood. letâs all eat now. we will head out tomorrow to search for the bodies of the dead scientists. within a one kilometer radius is a safe area. three squads will be sent to guard respectively.â shi chan nodded assuredly.
finding the corpses of scientists seemed to be simpler than it seemed. although it was a difficult task to find the scientistsâ complete bodies, this mission was not dangerous. as a result, all members felt happy and had a good appetite.
shi can took a bite of mutant meat while observing shi ying squad. the minibus was sparked under the roof of an abandoned shop.
âlittle seven, deliver those pieces of barbecued meat to shi ying squad,â shi can said to little seven.
little seven had no objection, and he delivered the food to shi yin squad happily. he knew that shi can was trying to befriend shi ying squad. some of doom walkerâs members were also looking at shi ying squadâs minibus. to be frank, they felt that shi ying squad was quite fierce because they had killed xing bupo. however, they were all afraid of this powerful team.
shi can also looked toward them and saw jiang liushi saying something to little seven. and then little seven returned with a shocked expression.
when little seven returned, shi can stared at the pieces of meat on the plates with an envious look.
âfresh mutant meat covered with delicious sauce?â
everyone was dumbfounded after seeing the food, and they all thought that shi ying squad was filthy rich.
â¦
at night, jiang liushiâs minibus became quiet as some members had fallen asleep. currently, jiang liushi was holding seven shining level-1 mutant nuclei, which he had collected from buck, and threw them into the energy lab without hesitation. he remembered every detail about todayâs battle against lu changfei. it was a scary one. therefore, jiang liushi realized that he had to further enhance his own ability.
in the other hand of jiang liushi, two mutant thorn seeds were lying on it. seeing those seeds, jiang liushi felt gratified. although his plant lab was still in lack of many materials, he had already achieved the cultivation of mother-thornâs seeds. jiang liushi was temporarily satisfied with this speed. after all, he hadnât paid much attention to it. the power of the thorn seeds had been tested on buckâs team. one more attack meant more security.
âbrother jiang, zhuyingâs physical signs are all normal. her bodyâs cells are full of energy and her heart and lung function well,â li yuxin walked over from the bed and said to jiang liushi gently.
at present, only ling still called jiang liushi âcaptain jiangâ. everyone else called him âbrother jiang.â
âexcellent, yuxin, you did a good job. here you are,â jiang liushi answered and then passed an evolutionary crystal to li yuxin. during these days, jiang liushi had noticed that li yuxin had been focusing all of her energy on zhuying, and he was moved. naturally, he would reward her.
âevolution crystal?â li yuxin said, âbrother jiang, i donât need it, please give it to someone else.â
âdonât worry. they will all get one. i want you to consume it not only for your contribution to the team but also because the more a paranormal consumes, the faster the speed of evolution. our team can afford them,â jiang liushi explained slowly.
in this post-apocalyptic world threatened by growing crises, jiang liushi didnât dare to let his guard down in the slightest.
