Fan Yitong fell to the ground, screaming in pain. He was totally shocked by the sudden attack. He stared at the minibus in fear and tried to explain how it could release such an ear-piercing attack. If he hadn't personally witnessed it, he wouldn't believe it was possible.
Lu Tianyu was also astounded by Jiang Liushi and his means. Not even in his wildest imagination had he thought that a survivor's team would surprise him so many times. Lu Tianyu had also clearly seen a gun barrel being retracted slowly back to the minibus' front. The devastating attack just now was a violent airflow.
Although he had taken cover in a safe place, he had still felt the airflow's power. In the case he was the one facing it directly, Lu Tianyu could not tell whether he could evade it; once he was hit, the outcome would be a nasty one, just like Fan Yitong's subordinates.
Fan Yitong was in terrible shape as blood was flowing from every pore of his body and his internal organs had been shifted.
If that were not enough, his subordinates on the upper floor started screaming in terror. Behind them, a ghostly figure with a dagger in hand had appeared, harvesting their lives one by one and leaving bloody lines on their carotids.
A burst of gunshots sounded immediately. Shortly after, Zhang Hai and Sun Kun, both armed with guns, stretched their heads out of the window, yelling, "Brother Jiang, everything is settled here!"
"These idiots actually thought that as long as they hid here, they'd be safe!" Zhang Hai said to Sun Kun.
As a matter of fact, Zhang Hai and Sun Kun could both climb the outer wall by relying on their special abilities. Naturally, Ling's ability enabled her to leap directly from the minibus' top to the upper floor, and thus, she snuck attacked the people hiding there much faster.
Fan Yitong lost all hope when he heard that, and then he looked at Jiang Liushi and Jiang Zhuying who were slowly walking toward him.
"You are so cruel- Aaah!"
Jiang Liushi stepped on Fan Yitong's arm, and under the immense pain, the latter's fingers involuntarily opened, twitching violently. Then two evolutionary crystals rolled out.
Fan Yitong saw Jiang Liushi picking them up. And then he said with a smile, "Your greed led you to demand for an exorbitant price, huh? In your next life, make sure to have the ability to make such demands!"
Fan Yitong was too greedy, and Jiang Liushi could sense it through his coveting glances. Jiang Liushi did not think it was wrong to battle it out with such a scheming individual.
"Jiang…you…"
"Brother, let me kill him," Jiang Zhuying interrupted Fan Yitong. Seeing the dancing current around Jiang Zhuying's palm, Fan Yitong struggled to climb back, with a fearful expression.
"Ah!!!"
At that moment, Jiang Liushi turned and looked at Lu Tianyu and his team.
Lu Tianyu had recovered his calm. Seeing that Jiang Liushi had fixed his eye on him, he said, "You don't have to worry, I don't covet or care about your things." After that, he waved his hand, indicating that it was time for them to leave.
"Please wait," Jiang Liushi said.
Lu Tianyu frowned as he didn't know what Jiang Liushi's endgame was.
"I'd like to ask about the conditions one has to meet to enter the safety zone," Jiang Liushi inquired. Back in Star Base, they had met some trouble because they didn't know the real situation there. That's the reason why Jiang Liushi decided to ask.
Lu Tianyu was surprised by Jiang Liushi's question. "Oh, I thought you'd like to…but do you want to join our safe area?"
"That's right," Jiang Liushi answered.
However, Lu Tianyu frowned and answered, "The administration of our safety area is strict. Not everyone is allowed to enter. It isn't a place to hide dirt! Some mighty people have tried entering, but they still failed to do so. I advise you to give up."
Lu Tianyu thought that the weak were easy prey for the strong. It was a quite common occurrence and that the reason why he looked down on ordinary survivors. Only a select few survivor's teams could join the military's ranks.
Although Jiang Liushi's actions may be decisive and his power could not be underestimated, Lu Tianyu believed that they couldn't join the army. After all, many officials and personnel were just like him, people who looked down on ordinary survivors. Otherwise, how could the safety zone have so strict management?
"What do you mean by saying that? Can I at least apply? That's all I need to know. As for whether I can join or not, it's none of your business," Jiang Liushi retorted. He just needed a chance to enter and assess the situation there.
However, Lu Tianyu was even more dissatisfied with Jiang Liushi after hearing his words. "Too young! You don't know the height of the sky. Applying is still far from entering the safe area," Lu Tianyu said coldly.
"Retreat!" Lu Tianyu left with his soldiers.
"Whether we enter that safety area or not is none of his business! He is not the one in charge of the safety are!" Jiang Zhuying walked next to Jiang Liushi, and then she spat her tongue at Lu Tianyu's departing figure.
"Well, we mainly want to escort two professors safely," Jiang Liushi replied. But what Jiang Zhuying said was indeed right, so Jiang Liushi didn't care about Lu Tianyu's attitude at all.
"Captain Jiang!" He Junhong and Sister Qian approached Jiang Liushi. His power had totally convinced them that their loss was not unfair and they should discard any ideas of plotting for revenge.
"Captain Jiang, you've killed that piece of sh*t, Fan Yitong. As long as Luo Feng hears of your feats and methods, Hejiang Town will be yours to control! I promise to help you with whatever you need! Whenever you want it!" He Junhoong said excitedly.
Fan Yitong and Luo Feng had been suppressing him for a long time now, so could he not take pleasure in their misfortune? Moreover, he firmly believed that by following Jiang Liushi, only benefits would await him.
Actually, not only He Junhong but also Sister Qian seemed to be totally attracted by Jiang Liushi. She deliberately greeted Jiang Liushi, hoping to earn Jiang Liushi's appreciation. She had even pushed up her breasts, making her cleavage stand out.
"You are wrong." Jiang Liushi frowned. "I'm not interested in Hejiang Town at all."
"Uh?" He Junhong was shocked by Jiang Liushi's answer. 'Does Jiang Liushi really want to enter the safe area? However, he isn't qualified to enter.'
"Forget it then. I will focus on searching for all the materials Captain Jiang needs."
"That's for the best." Jiang Liushi nodded, "Oh," Jiang Liushi suddenly remembered something, but then he just said indifferently, "You should also take care of the two girls who were with me yesterday, and their team, of course." Jiang Liushi appreciated Wei Feifei's character.
"No problem, Captain Jiang. They can stay in Hejiang Town any time they like in the future. They will also be excluded from paying the entering fee, and I will arrange the best residence for them."Since they were Jiang Liushi's friends, He Junhong would not dare to neglect them.
"Captain Jiang, you have already gotten what you want. At the same time, you helped us by killing Fan Yitong. I'd like to invite Captain Jiang to have dinner with us tonight. I'll be the one preparing it," Sister Qian said with a smile while pressing her breasts against Jiang Liushi's arm.
He Junhong nodded when he saw that. He didn't mind pleasing Jiang Liushi by using such a method. If the latter wished for it, He Junhong would send the most beautiful girls to accompany him in bed.
"Captain Jiang, I've stored a box of local wine. It's delicious. You should definitely give it a try."
"Oh, I'm very particular about food, and I prefer eating what my members cook," Jiang Liushi refused their invitation.
"Of course, our food can't be compared with Captain Jiang's." He Junhong smiled. However, Sister Qian was depressed.
Not long after, Zhang Hai and Sun Kun came down with all the guns they had found.
"Hurry up! We need to collect all the useful resources. Anything damaged is useless," Zhang Hai and Sun Kun said excitedly.
They didn't even let Fan Yitong's corpse unsearched. After this transaction, not only Jiang Liushi didn't suffer a loss, but he also obtained lots of guns and ammunition,
"Brother." Jiang Zhuying walked along with Jiang Liushi to the minibus, and she said with a wide grin, "I noticed that Sister Qian is very interested in you. If she could, she would already have thrown herself in your arms. As for He Junhong, I'm pretty sure that he would be quite pleased." Although Jiang Zhuying was the younger one, she still had a discerning eye and understanding for such matters.
"What's wrong? Who would like to throw herself into Brother Jiang's arms?" Li Yuxin, who was standing beside the minibus, asked curiously.
"Nothing. Don't listen to Zhuying's nonsense. She is just a little girl," Jiang Liushi said.
"Who is the little girl!?" Jiang Zhuying asked immediately.
Ran Xiyu's eyes were focused on Jiang Liushi's eyes, and then she said slowly, "Zhuying is right. That woman had such thoughts. She wanted to invite you to eat and drink as an excuse to…" Ran Xiyu didn't know how to continue that sentence, so she turned back and entered the minibus.
Jiang Liushi felt embarrassed after what he heard because he didn't know that Sister Qian was such a calculative and decisive woman.
Li Yuxin was also embarrassed, and she excused herself, "I- I will go and help Zhang Hai…"
Jiang Liushi was even more embarrassed. 'I'm innocent! Sigh, I didn't do anything…'
