Chapter 496 - Crazy Like Tiger When Heart-broken
Chapter 496: Crazy Like Tiger When Heart-broken
Australia was one of the main bases of the East Asian recruits. There were more or less a group of recruits brought in every few months. Today was the day of recruitment again.
Qin Fen sat in the plane flying high in the sky. He leaned over and looked out the window at the dozens of people who pressed forward, swimming desperately to the beach. A feeling of intimacy that was difficult to explain welled up in his heart.
Such a scene had also happened to himself, as if it was yesterday.
Qin Fen narrowed his eyes and recalled that day when he was forced to jump into the sea by the instructor, the situation in which he had no choice but to swim and run madly to the recruit camp.
Now, all of this was still vivid in his mind! Qin Fen slowly closed his eyes, recalling the impulsive reaction of young age on that day, the situation at which he carried a comrade on the back running madly on the beach.
Zuo Lin closed his eyes silently and enjoyed the oscillation of level four true energy that he controlled freely in his body, which was close to the special realm of the Nirvana Marrow Transformation Great Inborn.
He believed that he would be able to enter the Nirvana Marrow Transformation Great Inborn again within a month. Then, he would successfully breakthrough to the fifteen-star level and catch up with Qin Fen, and then surpass him and killed him!
The recruit camp in Australia was very large. Qin Fen commanded the pilot to land in a small airport which occupied a small surface area. That was the nearest airport to Squad Leader Hao and the others.
Qin Fen took a deep breath of Australia’s air into his lungs as he got off the plane. He felt nostalgic.
Qin Fen no longer used the Wukong technique revisiting this old place. He spread his feet and ran all the way, touching the earth intimately.
There were familiar houses and streets, groups of unfamiliar recruits, and several squad leaders of other recruit classes that he had met before. Qin Fen pushed the door of Squad Leader Hao’s room, “Reporting in sir, here comes Qin Fen!”
The standard military salute, the clear sound of the collision made by Qin Fen’s legs echoed in the quiet room.
Nobody… There was no one in Squad Leader Hao’s room. The quilt that was stacked into a tofu block was quietly placed on the bed. The bedsheet as neat as a mirror and there was a thin layer of dust on it. It was obviously not a room that had only been empty for a day.
Qin Fen frowned slightly*. Did Squad Leader Hao go leading the recruits again? There was a troop carrier battleship on the sea, is Squad Leader Hao there?*
Qin Fen quickly got out of the room and quickened his pace as he ran towards Gun King’s room. He was a shut-in who normally lived a sheltered life and was more indoorsy than a lady.
Qin Fen’s palm had not yet touched the door of the room. His arm muscles became stiff and his eyebrows had raised more in doubt. Is there also nobody in this room? Normally, Gun King will be studying guns and will not go out at all. Why he is not in the room today?
Pushing the door open, a pungent smell of machine oil came wafted into his face. All kinds of familiar firearms were systematically hung in their respective places. Only one weapon was gone.
It was not a weapon hanging on the wall but a weapon that had to be taken up with a huge iron platform. Gun King gave a name to the baby he made himself, it was called God Killer Number One!
God Killer Number One had a weight of about one ton. It was a super sniper consisting of three thousand two hundred and seventy-two components. It was equipped with a special bullet that was made with all the money Gun King had after selling a lot of weapons made by him.
The gun was God Killer! The bullet was God Punisher!
Gun King played with guns all throughout his life. This weapon and that bullet were the masterpieces of Gun King’s entire life. He could not carry the heavy God Killer when he was going out normally, but God Punisher would definitely be with him.
In the words of Squad Leader Hao, this bullet was a hundred times more important than Gun King’s own life in his eyes.
God Punisher! Gun King gave this expensive bullet a very powerful name. In the words of Gun King, this might be the only bullet in the world that could kill the Constellation Warrior, but it must be accompanied by the God Killer.
God Killer had a thirty-five kilometers long shooting distance. Qin Fen felt extremely shocked every time he saw it. This was perhaps the strongest single-target lethal weapon of the Federation.
God Killer is not here, and Gun King is not here either? There was a bad feeling rising in Qin Fen’s heart. Is Gun King going to perform a task with God Killer? But what task can make Gun King go out with God Killer in this world? Is he really going to kill a Constellation Warrior?
Qin Fen slammed the door and headed quickly into Butcher’s room. From a considerable distance, he felt that there was someone in the room, not like the two rooms before.
Pushing open the door, Qin Fen was surprised the moment he saw long-lost Butcher. Butcher, who was ice-cold like a living knife two years ago, was now greying at the temples There were deep wrinkles between his eyebrows, and even his shiny skin was no longer shiny. Watching him from behind, it seemed to be a late old man, not the Butcher who had been through the battlefield.
“Instructor…”
Qin Fen tried to whisper. Butcher who had a little hunchback jumped a little, then he slowly straightened his back and turned little by little and looked at Qin Fen, “Qin… Fen.”
Qin Fen’s hands and feet were cold. Butcher was now in the prime of his life. It could be said that it was a good time to be fired with boundless enthusiasm. How could he become so old? He seems like an old man.
“Instructor, you are…”
Qin Fen walked quietly into the room. He sat gently in front of Butcher and carefully observed his first teacher.
“You are back?” The Butcher smiled. His wrinkles looked a little loosened, “How’s the going recently?”
“Instructor, you are…”
“People get old.” Butcher smiled, “People will get old, aren’t they?”
Qin Fen looked at Butcher silently. This instructor who used to talk little talked much now compared to the past. It could even be said that it was extremely abnormal.
“Old Hao and Gun King left for a mission. I don’t know when will they come back.” Butcher got Qin Fen a glass of water, “Phoenix is still there. Your two friends have also finished learning and returned respectively to their fields for advanced study.”
“Mission? What mission?” Qin Fen stared at Butcher’s eyes, “Instructor, tell me, what mission can make Instructor Gun King take away both God Killer and God Punisher?”
A strange glance flashed quickly in Butcher’s eyes and his hands trembled a little. Qin Fen knew that there were very few things could make Butcher unable to conceal his emotions. This time he struggled to conceal it, but it was still so obvious that he could not hide his real emotions.
“Instructor, look at me.” Qin Fen grabbed Butcher’s shoulders with both hands, and his emotions became agitated. He had wanted to share with his instructors the most high-spirited and vigorous period of his life but found that two instructors had disappeared and another instructor became so old that he could not help being emotional!
“Instructor, you look at me! Look at my eyes! I am Qin Fen! The little monster that you freaks taught!” Qin Fen’s instinct told himself something important had happened, but he did not want to guess it right, “What is the mission? Is it worthwhile to use God Killer and God Punisher? It is a sacred weapon that can kill a Constellation Warrior according to what Instructor Gun King said.”
Butcher heard the words Constellation Warrior and seemed to get several decades older in a moment. His face was more shaded, “Not the Constellation Warrior. Really not the Constellation Warrior.”
“What is that then? How long have they been performing the task now? Can we contact them?”
Butcher looked at Qin Fen silently. After a while, he slowly reached out and opened a small cabinet with two wooden carved tablets.
Lier Hao’s memorial tablet and Second Brother Gun’s memorial tablet.
The few simple words felt like a few thousands catties of large stone had hit Qin Fen. The room fell into silence.
Qin Fen stared at the two tablets. He looked at the two small tablets as if he could see the shadow of the two instructors smiling on the tablets.
They’re both dead… dead…
Qin Fen felt a chill crept upon his spine with his head felt cold with the feeling of numbness. In the blink of an eye, both his hands and feet became cold and the world in front of him was bleak.
“How would they die… how could they die?” Qin Fen muttered, as if asking himself or asking the Butcher, “How would they die?”
“Buddha…”
Butcher’s eyes showed despair and chewed a bitter name in his mouth.
“Buddha?” Qin Fen seemed to be shocked by high-voltage electricity, “Do you mean Buddha of Elysium?”
Butcher’s expression was full of bitterness. He nodded slowly and his hands kept shaking, as if recalling a nightmare.
“They went to kill Buddha of Elysium?” Qin Fen’s eyes twitched again and again, Buddha of Elysium!
The rumored second master of Elysium, perhaps his strength was really as strong as a Constellation Warrior. The military headquarters unexpectedly found two soldiers with weak strength to perform this mission? Was this for them to perform the task? Or was it to let them be killed?
“Not them.” Butcher lifted his trembling finger and pointed at himself faintly, “It’s us.”
“You…you guys…” Qin Fen stared at Butcher, “You… you went too?”
Butcher nodded lightly. His eyelids trembled repeatedly and closed, as if recalling the nightmare-like experience, “The mission failed. Lan Caihe, one of the Eight Immortals, was killed by God Punisher. Buddha came and killed Second Brother Gun and Lier Hao, as for me…”
Butcher grabbed his clothes tightly with both hands, “As for me, Buddha says he wants me to come back and deliver a message: have the military headquarters leave Saturn…”
“Buddha!!” Qin Fen clasped his five fingers tightly together and his arms could not stop shaking. That was the shaking of all the strength of the arm, “Who made the command? Instructor, who made this asshole command?!”
Butcher looked at Qin Fen and just shook his head without saying a word. He didn’t want Qin Fen to know more. The reason why he would spit out Saturn was because he believed that Qin Fen could weigh up the matters carefully. Buddha of Elysium was not easy to handle, Qin Fen would not really deal with Buddha even if he knew.
But the other person was on the Earth; Butcher really could not guarantee whether Qin Fen would go to get himself killed or not. It was the command of the sleeping lion Zuo Dongting. He was a guy who could kill without a blink. He was holding the lives of the family members of Squad Leader Hao and the others. If they refused to go, Zuo Dongting would kill their family members.
Butcher knew that a bigwig like Zuo Dongting would use special means to find him troubles. It must not just a simple case. He thought about it for a long time and felt that it was probably related to Qin Fen since Cao Bo had given himself up to Zuo’s Family. After that, Zuo’s Family would naturally stand up for Cao’s Family. They could not find Qin Fen who went to Sacred Martial Hall and naturally made the masters who taught him his skills the first target of attack.
However, in the case of knowing all of this, Snake King Du Hen did not even intervene to help but let Zuo Dongting take command and watch them go to Saturn to get themselves killed!
At that moment, Butcher’s heart was cold! Snake King was an ambitious militarist who had always dared to sacrifice anyone. He naturally had his opinion to sacrifice three people, but Butcher could not accept everything. He returned to the military and was completely decadent.
“Who is it? Who is it? Du Hen?”
Butcher smiled faintly and shook his head. He didn’t say anything and didn’t want to say anything. Both Squad Leader Hao and Second Brother Gun died. Besides for their family members, they also sacrificed their lives for Qin Fen to Zuo Dongting to slake the lion king’s anger.
“Li Mingzheng?”
Butcher still laughed.
“Zuo Dongting!?”
Butcher still laughed. He laughed very naturally, but his pupil was not as natural as his muscles when smiling.
“Zuo Dongting? It is Zuo Dongting!”
Butcher looked stunned. He knew that it was useless to pretend anyway. Qin Fen in front of him was the super rime of the painstaking effort of all of them. The denial had no effects this time.
“Yes, Zuo Dongting.” Butcher nodded slowly. He reached out and grabbed Qin Fen’s wrist, “Qin Fen, don’t go! Please don’t go!”
“Instructor.” Qin Fen looked at Butcher. He looked at Butcher quietly, “Instructor, tell me why can’t I go? If you were me, would you not go? Can you tell me why? Is it… because…”
Qin Fen’s eyes were full of remorse. His fingers trembled slightly pointing at himself and his eyes twitched again and again, “Is it … is it because of me?”
Butcher did not deny this. In the face of the super disciple that everyone put in efforts to bring up, any denial was unnecessary.
“Actually…” Qin Fen’s eyes became misty. Qin Fen would not cry no matter how painful the physical attack was when being stabbed by a saber in his lower abdomen. However, at this moment, his eyes were full of tears. Desolate laughter came out of his throat slowly, “Hehe… haha… actually because of me. My masters and instructors taught me skills, helped me grow, and finally… finally!”
Qin Fen slowly closed his eyes and looked up. He tried hard to gasp for breath “In the end, my masters actually died because of me.”
“Zuo Lin!” Qin Fen snarled. The ground beneath his feet shattered, and he had already flown out of the room. He reached out to take Zuo Lin from Xue Tian’s hand and watched Zuo Lin being thrown high into the sky. A sidekick hit Zuo Lin’s lower abdomen made him fly away like a shrimp.
It hurts! Zuo Lin felt like his gut was being kicked off. He kept coughing out blood from his mouth, terrified watching Qin Fen walk toward him step by step.
“Old Qin…” Xue Tian caught up with Qin Fen. He hugged Qin Fen tightly with both hands and yelled, “Old Qin, Mourad has not been exchanged yet. You will kill him like this. What happened to you?”
“Call… call…” Qin Fen snarled and dropped his phone in front of Zuo Lin, “Call Zuo Dongting immediately!”
“Old Qin?” Yang Lie picked up the phone on the ground and looked at Qin Fen, “What happened to you?”
“My… my masters!” Qin Fen shook his fingers and pointed to Butcher’s room. His tears could not stop flowing out of his eyes and dripping down his cheeks, “They taught me to be a man and helped me grow. My lifetime teachers! Because of me! Because of me! Two of them were killed by Zuo Dongting who teamed up with Buddha! No! Three of them! There is one in the room! He is alive, but he is no different from the dead!”
He stared desperately at Zuo Lin, who curled up on the ground, with a heartbreaking roar and fiery murderous eyes. If he had not had even a bit of his mind left, Qin Fen would’ve opened the phone and start recording the scene of killing Zuo Lin, then mail it to Zuo Dongting.
“Old Qin, I know your hate. We are one. Your glory is our glory. Your happiness is our happiness. Your masters are our masters.” Solomon was facing Qin Fen, “But what is the point of calling Zuo Dongting? Ask him to come out and fight, will he come? Are you stupid? You want to kill Zuo Dongting? That’s good! I will accompany you! Others do not know where Zuo Dongting is but Zuo Lin must know!”
“Yes! You want to kill Zuo Dongting, we will accompany you!” Caesar’s body was enveloped in a cold murderous aura, “Your pain is our pain.”
“You guys…you guys…”
Zuo Lin curled up on the ground and couldn’t believe his ears. Are these people really crazy? They are going to kill my grandfather, Zuo Dongting, the most powerful force in the Military Region of East Asia!
Killing David Solomon was fine as that was just a family patriarch, which could be classified as the old scores between martial dao masters. However, Zuo Dongting was different! He had strong power and strength.
Attacking Zuo Dongting was nothing less than rebellion, no matter if it failed or succeeded. There was no other punishment other than an exile to Saturn. It would make them escaped criminals who were issued a wanted order from all of Federation.
“What’s wrong with us?” Xue Tian squatted in front of Zuo Lin, “Become a wanted criminal, is it? Open your eyes and see if we are afraid of becoming a wanted criminal!”
Zuo Lin looked at Xue Tian in a daze. This really was a group of heaven-daring young people. They would take risks to do something that was extremely stupid in the eyes of others for anyone between them.
These things seemed obviously stupid, but they could do it in a very heroic way, willingly with no hesitation nor regret.
“Qin Fen, you need to find someone to kill Zuo Dongting.” Xue Tian’s eyes gleamed with coldness and said word by word, “Wise Fox Xing Wuyi! There are always a bunch of masters gathered around Zuo Dongting. It is not likely to kill him for sure if we grind our way down there. We must find him and set up an ambush.”
Wise Fox Xing Wuyi! A young soldier who was already very famous in the military of the Federation nowadays. The speed of his promotion in the military was nothing slower than that of Qin Fen and Zuo Lin. The information about his meritorious deeds in the database of the military headquarters was about one foot thick in the stack. He was now indeed a rising star of the military headquarters!
“Xing Wuyi, Xing Wuyi.”
Qin Fen took over Xue Tian’s mobile phone. He had directly thrown it to Qin Fen and said, “I will find Chen Feiyu.”
Zuo Lin looked at Qin Fen from behind and went ice-cold in his hands and feet. The angry figure of this young man viewed from behind looked like a sharp saber for people who saw him.
Zuo Lin made two deep breaths and started to be glad secretly in his heart. This Qin Fen was crazy. It is so good! He actually dared to go against grandfather? He is going to get himself killed!
