Chapter 433: Only Strong Enemies Deserve My Attention
Translator: Liu_Kaixuan Editor: Valvrave
Hearing this name, everyone's 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 military's key propaganda hero, and as a result, he had become a captain of the military's 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.
"Clean up the battlefield. After that, we'll go to Dongmo Town for our next mission! Keep an eye on Buck!" Shi Can ordered loudly with an indifferent expression. He only blinked when his eyes fell on Jiang Liushi. But he didn't ask any questions. After all, Jiang Liushi's Shi Ying Squad was still an independent team.
Although they had all experienced a thrilling battle, Doom Walker's 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 Walker's 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 Organization's 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 couldn't help but ask his brother, "Brother, why did you play with that boy? Why did you not take him back and kill him directly?"
"Did you think I was playing with him?" Lu Changfei looked up and stared at his little brother angrily.
Lu Changyang was totally scared by his glare. "Brother, your strength…"
"Sh*t up, I know what you want to say…" Lu Changfei waved his hand violently, interrupting Lu Changyang. "Don't 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."
'What?' Lu Changyang was totally confused. However, he knew that his brother would never lie to him. He pondered over it and then asked again, "Brother, how about Doom Walker? We must not let them off like that. Currently, morale is quite low…" But then he sneered and said, "The 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?"
Lu Changfei didn't answer at all. In his mind, Jiang Liushi's 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.
…
More than three hours later, Doom Walker's 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 plants' 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 Walker's 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.
"Ashes Team reporting: there are no zombies or mutant beasts in the northeast…"
"Five Lanes Squad reporting: the west is clear and it's a safe area within 500 meters. Our only blind spot is toward the school's direction. We've installed barbed wire…"
All the teams came back from the outside one after the other and reported their findings to Shi Can. "Good. Let's 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." 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 scientists' 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.
"Little Seven, deliver those pieces of barbecued meat to Shi Ying Squad," 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 Walker's members were also looking at Shi Ying Squad's 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.
"Fresh mutant meat covered with delicious sauce?"
Everyone was dumbfounded after seeing the food, and they all thought that Shi Ying Squad was filthy rich.
…
At night, Jiang Liushi's 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 today's 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-thorn's seeds. Jiang Liushi was temporarily satisfied with this speed. After all, he hadn't paid much attention to it. The power of the thorn seeds had been tested on Buck's team. One more attack meant more security.
"Brother Jiang, Zhuying's physical signs are all normal. Her body's cells are full of energy and her heart and lung function well," Li Yuxin walked over from the bed and said to Jiang Liushi gently.
At present, only Ling still called Jiang Liushi 'Captain Jiang'. Everyone else called him 'Brother Jiang.'
"Excellent, Yuxin, you did a good job. Here you are," 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.
"Evolution crystal?" Li Yuxin said, "Brother Jiang, I don't need it, please give it to someone else."
"Don't 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," Jiang Liushi explained slowly.
In this post-apocalyptic world threatened by growing crises, Jiang Liushi didn't dare to let his guard down in the slightest.
