zhang mingze gritted his teeth so hard that they almost broke. he didnât expect that jiang liushi had made a full preparation. in that way, he was doomed to be killed by jiang liushi!
ânonsense!â zhang mingze jumped and shouted to jiang liushi, âyou want to steal qionghai cityâs 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!â
before his voice died away, two gunshots sounded. zhang mingze stared at jiang liushi agape. zhang mingze could not believe that jiang liushi 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 liushi powerful but also very decisive. upon realizing that, he knew it impossible to run away or kill jiang liushi. 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 liushi had yet to kill him as he was still useful.
jiang liushi threw a cold glance at zhang mingzeâs corpse, and then he turned to look at the soldiers. âyou can rest assured that iâm not coveting qionghai cityâs riches or have any interest in it,â shouted jiang liushi,
in the case that jiang liushi wanted to act like an overlord one day, he would not limit himself with that city. whatâs more, given the complexity of the situation, jiang liushi just wanted to go as soon as possible.
âno matter what you decide, it all depends on you! you can stay here or leave at once.â
upon hearing jiang liushiâs words, some soldiers began to hesitate. they didnât want to be controlled by others like a gun, but they also didnât want to leave qionghai city. after all, they had been living there for a long time. if jiang liushi wanted to live there, they wouldnât stop him. however, jiang liushi 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?
âweâd like to leave qionghai city, but we donât know where we should go!â said an officer.
âjiangning 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!â said jiang liushi.
since those soldiers wanted to leave, they naturally had to consider their next steps carefully. thus, jiang liushi told them everything he knew.
after that, jiang liushi walked in front luo jiafeng and said, âdidnât you say that you had some savings? feel free and tell us about your savings.â
in luo jiafengâs mind, jiang liushiâs smile was just like a devilâs smile.
sun kun held luo jiafeng up directly like one would pick up a stray dog.
âoh, the tank should be given back to me!â 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. nobody would like to get in conflict with jiang liushi anymore.
then, zhang hai drove his tank, following jiang liushiâs tour bus. they were driving to luo jiafengâs private warehouse. the warehouse was actually located in the headquartersâ underground parking lot. after entering, jiang liushi felt surprised by the piled sacks of grain and dried mutant meat, as well as the amount of ammunition and weapons.
jiang liushi waved his hands and said to zhang hai and sun kun, âas long as you like something, take it.â
âgood idea!â 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.
âwow! this luo fellow has quite the collection,â said jiang zhuying excitedly. there were about 20 mutant nuclei and 20 evolution crystals.
âwhere did you get so many things?â asked jiang liushi.
even the formal military couldnât have gathered that many nuclei and crystals. moreover, people would consume the crystals after getting. how could so many crystals be stored there?
âthe organization provided them. some of them to reward me, while the others to be used as gifts to newcomers,â answered luo jiafeng.
âoh, no wonder.â jiang liushi nodded. he finally knew why those people were eager to join the mysterious organization.
jiang liushi smiled and said, âthatâs good. i will collect them all.â he never expected that he could gain so many this time. amongst them, three were level-2 mutant nuclei. jiang liushi needed more and more of them to upgrade his mcv.
luo jiafeng felt like vomiting blood while jiang liushi and his team were stealing the fruits of his hard work.
luo jiafeng said, âcaptain jiang, as you can see my intentions are sincere. i donât want to be your enemy-â
âif you donât want to die, you shouldâ¦â jiang liushi interrupted luo jiafeng, ââ¦help me.â
luo jiafeng controlled his anger and asked, âcaptain jiang, i have given you everything i have. you even dismissed the entire military region. what else do you want to from me?â
âthe organization!â replied jiang liushi directly.
suddenly, luo jiafengâs expression changed, not expecting that jiang liushi 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 liushi, luo jiafeng was just an appetizer. the mysterious organization behind him was his real target. thatâs why jiang liushi hadnât killed luo jiafeng.
âdo you want to fight against the whole organization?â asked luo jiafeng.
âyes, whatâs the matter?â asked jiang liushi.
luo jiafeng lowered his head, showing a strange expression. it was clear to him that jiang liushi was unaware of the organizationâs scary power. even he, who was the top leader of qionghai city, couldnât 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 liushi was looking for death.
âthe organization has been in contact with me through the radio. but now that li yinqiang and i stumbled on you, iâm 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,â replied luo jiafeng.
âbutâ¦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 announceâ¦â
âbrother jiang, heâs egging us to go,â said ling coldly.
jiang liushi nodded. of course, he knew what they were about to do would be extremely dangerous. moreover, except for li yinqiang and luo jiafeng, jiang liushi guessed that many others would to go to that place.
âlet me give you a bit of advice,â said luo jiafeng. âdo you think our organization will do nothing after knowing you killed us? iâm afraid that you will suffer a lot when you meet our organization.â
âitâs none of your business. but if you keep speaking to me in that way, a great calamity is at hand,â said jiang liushi.
upon hearing jiang liushiâs warning, luo jiafeng immediately sh*t up.
âweapon!â said ran xiyu suddenly.
luo jiafeng was shocked, and he stared at ran xiyu, whose grey eyes were also looking at him.
âthat thing is quite important to you. thatâs why the word always appears in your mind,â said ran xiyu.
âwhatâs that?â asked jiang liushi.
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 liushiâs question made him feel nervous. the longer he kept silence, the more he could sense jiang liushiâs killing intention.
âyou win, i will tell you everything. the so-called âweaponâ is a new discovery. as what it is, even we donât 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 âweaponâ because as long as we got it, we could turn into an entity with many modern heavy weapons in our disposal.â
