Chapter 81: Chapter 81: He’s Been Reduced to Being Pitied by a Little Girl?

Liang Yuncheng looked at Yang Ruibin as if he were an idiot. ”Do you know how hard it was to plot Captain Lu’s assassination last time? This time, the Military Brigade Commander wants it to be foolproof! Not only does Captain Lu have to die, but you, you shit-stirrer, have to die too. I’m only telling you this so you can die knowing why. After you’re dead, you can turn into a vengeful ghost and get your revenge on the Military Brigade Commander. Haha...” His laugh was filled with utter contempt.

In Liang Yuncheng’s eyes, Yang Ruibin wasn’t just completely incompetent; he was constantly messing things up.

Just now on the boat, Yang Ruibin had almost ruined everything. If he hadn’t adamantly insisted that the person they had was 00007, that old fox Rick would have found them out long ago.

Yang Ruibin was shaken. He looked at Liang Yuncheng in terror. ”I’ve followed the Military Brigade Commander wholeheartedly, with complete loyalty, and he wants to kill me?” He couldn’t accept it!

To curry favor with the Military Brigade Commander, what hadn’t he done? Murder, arson—he’d done it all.

Liang Yuncheng sneered. ”No matter how loyal you are, could you be more loyal than Captain Lu? If Captain Lu weren’t so damn principled, refusing to commit crimes with him, would there even be a place for you? Give up! And don’t look to these brothers for help. They all belong to the Military Brigade Commander!” With that, he gave a signal with his eyes.

The soldier behind Yang Ruibin pressed a blade to his neck and slit it.

Yang Ruibin clutched his neck, staring at Liang Yuncheng in disbelief. Even as he died, he couldn’t bring himself to believe that the Military Brigade Commander, who he thought had cared for him, would want him dead.

”You three, get to the shore immediately and move the boat away. Don’t come back to shore without my order! You two, take the bombs and blow up Rick’s submarine!” Liang Yuncheng’s eyes were ice-cold. ”The rest of you, with me. We’re going to hunt down Captain Lu’s group and capture nightingale!”

He refused to believe they could sprout wings and fly off this deserted island!

Having heard their entire conversation clearly, Chen Xing immediately turned around.

’Captain Lu’s safety is the priority.’

She hadn’t run far before she saw nightingale following close behind her. She had no choice but to stop. ”What are you following me for?”

”I can go with you guys obediently!” He had also heard every word Liang Yuncheng said.

If Liang Yuncheng’s plan went ahead, he would surely have to go into hiding, and he’d have no chance to escape the island.

Being trapped on an island where he couldn’t kill anyone... he’d rather just die.

Chen Xing ignored him and just kept running forward.

As soon as she started running again, nightingale, who was trying to follow, found it incredibly difficult.

It didn’t look like she was exerting much effort, but he just couldn’t keep up.

nightingale started to wonder if he was just getting old.

When Chen Xing found the hiding spot of Captain Lu and the others, it was empty.

Just then, a massive explosion echoed from the distance, followed by a series of smaller blasts. A black mushroom cloud instantly rose into the clear blue sky.

’Judging by the direction, the submarine must have exploded.’

”I never thought Huaxia Country had people this ruthless!” nightingale, who had been following Chen Xing the whole time, remarked.

However, he didn’t like this method of killing.

When he killed, he savored the adrenaline rush that came with it.

Killing... was about enjoying the process, watching his prey become terrified and helpless before him. That’s what brought him true joy.

Chen Xing ignored him and sprinted toward the direction of the submarine.

The submarine was a total wreck. Captain Rick, his face contorted with rage, roared, ”Liang Yuncheng! Yang Ruibin! You dare to blow up my submarine?! You’ll pay for this! A few of you, go see if there are any other boats! The rest, with me! We’re capturing them! If you see anyone from the Huaxia Military Department, shoot to kill!”

Chen Xing didn’t reveal herself.

She had already sent Meng Hu out to search. If it found anything, it would notify her.

She and Meng Hu now shared a perceptive link, allowing them to communicate even over great distances.

Before long, she received a message: Liang Yuncheng and his men were searching for Captain Lu and the others by the sea, but Captain Lu’s whereabouts were still unknown.

’As long as he hasn’t run into Liang Yuncheng, it should be fine.’

Her only worry was that Captain Lu might be careless enough to trust Liang Yuncheng.

”Didn’t you want me to get you off this island?” Chen Xing turned to nightingale, who was still trailing her. ”It’s not impossible...”

”What do you want?” nightingale understood her implication.

’She wants me to do something dangerous.’

”Go lure Captain Rick to Liang Yuncheng,” Chen Xing said calmly.

She figured nightingale was the perfect bait to draw both groups together in the shortest amount of time.

nightingale was speechless. ’...’ ’Although this is the best way to make them fight each other... I’m still injured.’

’However, if both sides are badly wounded, my chances of escaping will be much higher.’

”Alright! But... you have to promise to let me meet 00007!”

”Take it or leave it!” Chen Xing couldn’t be bothered to deal with him and turned to leave.

”I’ll do it! I’ll do it, alright?” nightingale had never met anyone so difficult to deal with.

Who would have thought that he, a notorious Killing Demon, would be completely helpless against a little girl.

In truth, his real reason for following Chen Xing wasn’t just to escape. He wanted to stick with her and kill her when her guard was down. Who knew that he would try to ambush her twice along the way, only to fail both times.

She had even mocked him outright: ”Don’t waste your energy. You couldn’t even hurt me when you were in perfect condition. You think a sneak attack has a chance now?”

To top it off, she’d given him a look of pity.

He was so fucking pissed!

Had he really sunk so low as to be pitied by a little girl?

So now, he had no choice but to accept Chen Xing’s proposal.

’A chance to get off the island, a chance to meet 00007, and a chance to keep killing—what could be better?’

With nightingale making his move, it didn’t take long for the two sides to start fighting.

At first, Rick’s side had the upper hand, thanks to their greater numbers and sheer fury.

But... as time went on, they discovered that Liang Yuncheng’s Combat Power was incredibly high.

”It seems you won’t get your chance for revenge, Captain Rick!” Liang Yuncheng said with a leisurely air, even glancing up at the sky.

With few of his crewmen left, Captain Rick was drenched in nervous sweat. ”You’re not from the Military Department?”

Even though he was from another country, he knew the Military Department like the back of his hand.

As far as he knew, the Military Department’s superpowers were still in their nascent stages.

”The Military Department? I never said I was from the Military Department!” Liang Yuncheng said, his hands in his pockets. ”The Military Department isn’t qualified to command me!”

With a wave of his hand, the soldiers behind him charged toward Captain Rick.

Seeing the danger, Captain Rick turned to flee.

’No matter what, I have to stay alive.’

But even as he ran, he had to get a threat in. ”I’ve already reported you to my country’s High Command for kidnapping people and blowing up my ship! They’ll be sending investigators soon, and you’ll be in for a world of hurt!”

”You’ll have to be alive to see it!” A blast of water shot from Liang Yuncheng’s palm, punching a palm-sized hole straight through Rick’s chest.

Watching everything from a distance, Chen Xing frowned.

’To be able to blast a pillar of water that thick right through someone’s body... Liang Yuncheng’s superpower must be at least Level Five.’

’Zombies haven’t been around for long, and the period of superpower awakenings has been even shorter. Logically, no one should be at such a high level yet.’

’Unless... like with those zombie dogs that appeared very early on, his superpower awakened ahead of time. That would explain it.’

”You’ve been watching for a long time. Seen enough? Come on out!”
