Chapter 527: Determination!
Translator: Liu_Kaixuan Editor: Valvrave
Jiang Liushi's minibus killed another mutant beast. Currently, the minibus' exterior had been died red by all the splattered blood. It was extremely eye-catching and left a strong visual impact, which made all the surrounding survivors and soldiers feel scared.
Jiang Liushi didn't care about how the minibus' current appearance, or how others looked at it. He was just like an excited office worker that had just received the first salary as he was observing the progress bar's growth. It had reached 45%!
Except for the mutant snake and mouse, all the other mutant beasts with Black Light running in their blood were relatively weaker, so the amount of Black Light was also less. Jiang Liushi had Starseed scan the area again for mutant beasts with Black Light, but to his disappointment, they had killed them all.
'Alas, the idea of killing all the mutant beasts to absorb the Black Light is no longer feasible…' thought Jiang Liushi.
He waited for a while, but Starseed could not find any more mutant beasts. Jiang Liushi guessed that the Black Hole should have realized something, so it had stopped sending any more mutant beasts. At the same time, the Black Hole was still approaching the Safety Zone. The closer the Black Hole was to the Safety Zone, the stronger the sense of crisis Jiang Liushi felt was.
'The Black Hole may want to devour Starseed and me, but Starseed also needs the accumulated Black Light the Black Hole has gathered. In this case, I'm going to destroy you!' Suddenly, a cold glint flashed through Jiang Liushi's eyes.
The Black Hole may be a threat to Jiang Liushi's life, but it didn't mean he would cower in fear and flee as far as he could. If that was the case, he would have fled the moment they learned about the Black Hole's existence. Considering the Black Hole's speed, it wouldn't be difficult for the minibus to escape from its clutches.
Jiang Liushi had chosen to stay for his own reasons. Naturally, one of them was Li Yuxin's family. At the same time, running away without trying was a stupid method to deal with problems. Moreover, ever since he had found about Starseed's existence, it was the first time for Jiang Liushi to feel threatened to such a degree. For that very reason, he had decided to exterminate the weed and its roots so that he would never feel threatened like that again. If he were to leave it to grow, Jiang Liushi would be in a constant state of vigilance, unable to sit down or sleep at ease.
'Since you're a threat to me, I will destroy you and turn you into nourishment for Starseed and my MCV! You're not as scary as everyone thinks!' Jiang Liushi's eyes sparked with battle intent.
Then, he made up his mind. "Head to the Headquarters!"
The battles in the Safety Zone were still ongoing, but with the military's support, the worst wave had passed. In the face of hot weapons, the mutant beasts were nothing and had to retreat. At the same time, after Jiang Liushi killed all the mutant beasts with Black Light the rest of the mutant beasts had become less fierce.
"Why are so many people are here?"
"Did you also receive the order of the assembly?"
In the Headquarters' building, there were many paranormals gathered in the hall. As the attacks from the mutant beasts had weakened, they had received orders from the military to gather there. Those that had come were all paranormals, who had passed the tests and joined the newly established Assault Team!
"It seems that they will give us missions," said Tang Cangyun enthusiastically while combing his hair and straightening his back. Behind him were two other paranormal, as well as Wei Feifei and Peach.
"There are many paranormals here. Even if they want to give us missions, it's not our turn. Plus, you said earlier that the military would not give us important missions," Said Peach, shaking her head.
Peach felt a little intimidated after seeing so many paranormals. There were indeed a lot of people, at least 300. It was estimated that all the powerful paranormals had been gathered there. She knew that it would be challenging for Tan Cangyun to make his dreams come true with so many people there.
"We've joined the military, so we're not a survivors' team anymore. Things are different now. Peach, you don't know me at all. If our results are remarkable, how will you compensate me?" asked Tang Cangyun with a wicked smile.
Tang Cangyun's eyes betrayed his evil intention, leading Peach to step back like a frightened rabbit. Then, she asked, "Why should I compensate you?"
Due to her psychic abilities, Peach instinctively felt that Tang Cangyun looked at her just like a wolf would stare at a little white rabbit.
"Tang Cangyun, you are too arrogant! Your mentality is very unfavorable to the team. Keep in mind that we decided to cooperate with you because both of our original teams suffered serious losses. That doesn't mean you are our leader! If Captain Jiang joins the Assault team, things will change for the better!" said Wei Feifei.
Wei Feifei stood before Peach at once, when she saw him provoking Peach. Although she was younger than Peach, she was her protector. Her temper sometimes made people forget that she was just a teenage girl.
When they had first met Tang Cangyun, Wei Feifei had thought that cooperating with him wasn't harmful, but now she felt regret. Tang Cangyun may be an able individual, but he was too arrogant and completely considered himself to be their boss. Thinking of that, Wei Feifei was also annoyed. After all, she was only a high school student, not deeply involved in the world, and Peach was a kind simple girl. As a result, they were fooled by Tang Cangyun's words.
"Yes! Right!" Peach also said while nodding behind Wei Feifei.
"Feifei, you are no fun at all." Tang Cangyun was annoyed. In his opinion, Wei Feifei's meaning was that he was inferior to Jiang Liushi.
He had yet to meet Jiang Liushi, but he had already lost face twice because of him. How could Tang Cangyun accept that?
"Who is that Jiang Liushi? Why haven't I heard about him before this crisis?" Actually, the reaction of Tang Cangyun was a constant occurrence in human relationships.
At that moment, Peach whispered while looking toward the door, "Oh, Instructor Qi is here."
Then, several soldiers walked in from the door. One of them was a very tall man, whose military uniform was on the verge of bursting due to his bulging muscles. At the same time, his expression was cold. That man was Instructor Qi, the Deputy Director in charge of testing the gathered people for the Assault Team.
"Hey, Instructor Qi. Did you have us gather here to give us our missions?" asked a paranormal.
Instructor Qi ignored him and swept around with his gaze. "Be quiet! Wait here patiently until General Han comes!"
"General Han? Really?"
Unexpectedly, Han Yuan would come in person. Almost all the gathered people had heard about Han Yuan, the General from the Huaxia Region. Those survivors, who were trapped in Jiangning, were full of yearning for the outside world, especially for the Huaxia Region that currently represented their hopes.
Suddenly, the paranormals' voices died down and the big hall became very quiet. Instructor Qi was standing silently as if he was a Door God.
'General Han Yuan!' Tang Cangyun clenched his fist in anticipation to meet him.
Tang Cangyun had completely forgotten about Jiang Liushi. In his mind, before General Han, everyone else was a side character. If he could catch General Han's attention, his military career would definitely skyrocket in the future. Then, the two girls would obey his every word.
While Tang Cangyun was fantasizing, an off-road vehicle arrived…
