Game Hunter - Chapter 52

Chapter 52 A Raided Slum
As Feng Tian told his story, he couldn’t help but burst into tears. As an emotional woman, Tang Ran’s eyes also became moist.

As for Luo Fei, he looked coldly at Feng Tian. This was because he was judging how true and how fake the story Feng Tian was telling was. Although Luo Fei wanted to try trusting Feng Tian because of his friendship with Feng Qing, his rationality told him that they were soldiers and that they had to pay attention to evidence to solve the case.

Luo Fei asked Feng Tian about other matters.

‘”I understand your motives for robbing banks and hijacking cash trucks. But why did you attack the natural gas plant? Did you know that you blew up the natural gas pipeline and the heating system of 30% of the population in the first district will be affected!”

“I didn’t do it.”

Feng Tian’s reply shocked Tang Ran, while Luo Fei grinned at it.

“Then why did you appear at the natural gas plant that night?” Luo Fei questioned.

“I’m just investigating the truth!” Feng Tian explained, “As you told me before, I actually sensed the collapse of the mine earlier than you did. It was actually intentionally done by someone.” When I was buried alive, I smelled gunpowder and found the remaining gunpowder. So after I came out, apart from robbing, I was also secretly investigating the truth of the disaster! The reason I showed up at the gas plant that night was because I found out that the owner of the plant was probably the same person as the developer of the mine back then. But I didn’t expect a gas leak to happen just as I was going. After that, your friend chased after me. In order to shake off your friend, I could only use my strength and teach him a little lesson. ”

Luo Fei and Tang Ran didn’t say anything about this. Zuo Jie didn’t listen to Ou Sheng’s orders, so it wasn’t impossible for him to learn a lesson and have a good memory.

“Achoo–!”

On the other side, Zuo Jie, who was investigating from afar in prison, sneezed inexplicably.

“Are you catching a cold?” Li Li asked doubtfully.

“I don’t know.” Zuo Jie shook his head and said, “Perhaps someone is saying bad things about me behind my back.”

Li Li turned her gaze back to the corpse. She muttered to herself, “Strange, Ye Yang’s death doesn’t look like he was burned to death. Instead, it looks like he suffocated.”

Zuo Jie nodded silently and said, “Although the corpse was burnt beyond recognition, before he died, his hands were tightly placed on his neck. This was obviously a reaction he made when he was having difficulty breathing. Unfortunately, because of the fire, it was impossible to tell whether he was strangled or died from other causes.”

‘”That’s not a problem. Although the surface of the corpse has been burned beyond recognition, the organs inside are still intact. As long as the corpse is dissected, more or less other clues can be found. I’m more concerned about other things.” Li Li said in a deep voice.

“What is it?”

“Even we can tell at a glance that the real cause of Ye Yang’s death was not the fire. Do you think the police don’t know that?”

“Are you saying that the police deliberately concealed the truth about Ye Yang’s death?”

“Although I don’t want to admit it, there is indeed a possibility.” Li Li said very seriously, “I finally understand why the captain asked us to investigate Ye Yang’s death again. It seems that the captain suspected that the police had infiltrated spies.”

Zuo Jie looked at Li Li in surprise. If, as Ou Sheng had guessed, there was a spy inside the police, then who would this spy be?

…

Feng Tian told them everything he knew.

Apart from the robbery being done by Feng Tian, the rest, including the destruction of the natural gas pipeline, had nothing to do with Feng Tian.

As for why Feng Tian would appear in prison that day, the reason was actually very simple. Because Feng Tian was also investigating the truth about the collapse of the mine, he was also suspecting that Ye Yang, as the head of the mine, might have some inside information.

Just as Luo Fei and the others were tidying up the situation, Zuo Jie and Li Li’s voices came from the communicator.

“The results are out. The real cause of Ye Yang’s death was not the fire but the lack of oxygen,” Li said. “A large amount of carbon monoxide was detected inside the body, suspected to be gas poisoning!”

“Gas poisoning?” Luo Fei kept recalling Li Li’s words in his mind. In the fog, Luo Fei seemed to see traces of light.

“There’s one more thing you should pay attention to.” Zuo Jie also said, “You better stay away from the police here when you report the case. They are not on the same side as us. The captain has suspected that there are spies inside the police.”

Recalling the treatment he had received inside the prison, and not long after he left the prison, Ye Yang died in prison, Luo Fei came to a sudden realization.

Luo Fei patted his head and said excitedly, “I think I understand something.”

Looking at Luo Fei’s confident expression, Feng Tian and Tang Ran were dumbfounded. Luo Fei, what does he understand? Why was he still confused?

Just as Luo Fei was about to explain his thoughts to Feng Tian and Tang Ran, a loud explosion was deafening.

When the three of them arrived at the scene of the incident, Feng Tian was stunned.

For some unknown reason, a fire broke out in the slum. Bear Flame was devouring every corner, and the children could not avoid it. Some of them were even buried in the sea of fire on the spot.

“What’s going on?” Feng Tian said in panic.

Just as the three of them were shocked, an air-piercing sound came. Following the sound, Luo Fei and the others were shocked to see a rocket launching straight at them.

“Children-!”

Looking at the trajectory of the rocket, Feng Tian rushed towards the children without hesitation. He grabbed them and quickly brought them away. After recovering from his shock, Luo Fei and Tang Ran also joined in the rescue.

The rockets ruthlessly shattered the slums, even though the three of them were doing their best to save them.

The shockwaves caused by the explosion sent Luo Fei and the others flying to the side. Countless children were devoured by the explosion in just an instant, and many more were buried under the ruins.

The dust from the explosion spread throughout the slums, and the children in the slums had no idea what had happened or why they had been attacked.

“Ah–!”

With a roar, a figure walked out of the dust first.

Because the game virus in Feng Tian’s body had already entered an explosive stage, even if it maintained its human appearance, Feng Tian still possessed the power of Game corpse. Therefore, Feng Tian was the first person to break free from the ruins.

Feng Tian looked at this scene in panic. He couldn’t believe his eyes, he couldn’t believe what he saw.

“Children-!”

Feng Tian rushed into the ruins in panic. When he carried away the rubble, he saw the corpses of the children who had lost their vitality.

Feng Tian tried his best to call out the names of the children, but the children could no longer gather around Feng Tian as enthusiastically as before and respond to Feng Tian’s shouts.

Feng Tian knelt down and watched helplessly. His eyes had long been wet with tears. Apart from crying and roaring helplessly, Feng Tian could do nothing.

Feng Tian’s entire body suddenly quieted down. Because of the mental breakdown, he could no longer say anything.

Luo Fei and Tang Ran, on the other hand, took a lot of effort to break free from the ruins.

Seeing the corpses of countless children lying on the ground, Luo Fei and Tang Ran were also surprised to see this scene.

Luo Fei and the others did not know what had happened, nor did they understand why they were suddenly attacked.

Seeing Feng Tian shouting helplessly, Luo Fei and Tang Ran could do nothing but feel heartache.

Just as Luo Fei was trying to contact the outside world, Luo Fei was surprised to find that the surrounding communication signals had been blocked. Tang Ran and Luo Fei immediately realized that this was a premeditated attack.

As expected, not long after Luo Fei and the others reacted, a group of heavily armed soldiers suddenly appeared and surrounded Feng Tian and the others.

Seeing this group of soldiers, Tang Ran and the others were even more puzzled. Isn’t this the first division’s special forces? Why are you here?

Just as the special forces surrounded Feng Tian and the others, a tall figure walked out of the group of soldiers. The person who came was Ji Wei, who was responsible for receiving them that day.

Ji Wei looked at the confused Tang Ran and Luo Fei and sneered, “It’s been hard on you, Tang Ran and Luo Fei. The two of you have contributed a lot. I will definitely report this matter to the higher-ups and have them properly praise you.”

“What the hell is that?” Luo Fei also recognized Ji Wei’s tone and asked, “What do you mean, Ji Wei?”

“Nothing much,” said Ji Wei coldly. “I got news that someone had reported that Feng Tian was hiding in this slum, so I brought troops over to take a look. I didn’t expect my luck to be good. Feng Tian is here. However, I didn’t expect the Hunting Army to be here as well. As soldiers of the country, you are hooking up with Game corpse. I think you really need to think of a reasonable reason to explain your situation. ”

Facing Ji Wei’s threat, Luo Fei said disapprovingly, “Sharp Wolf never needs to report to your police. We have our own reporting style.”

Ji Wei also flicked the dust off his body and said casually, “Even if I believe that you are together with Feng Tian to handle the case, I don’t know if the leaders above believe it or not. Alright, please move aside, don’t interfere with our arrest of Feng Tian. Otherwise, don’t blame me for arresting both of you for obstructing our official duties.”

While Luo Fei was talking to Ji Wei, the special forces were also constantly shrinking their encirclement.

Seeing Ji Wei and the others constantly pressing down on them, Tang Ran and the others’ expressions became even more serious and solemn.

Luo Fei looked around and exchanged glances with Tang Ran. The two of them could see the meaning in each other’s eyes.

No matter what, Feng Tian could not hand it over to Ji Wei and the others. This was not only the need to solve the case, but also for Feng Tian’s life.

Luo Fei and Tang Ran took out their Dream Game cassettes one after another. Just as the two of them were about to forcefully break out of the encirclement, the anomaly behind their backs caught their attention.

Feng Tian, who had originally suffered a mental breakdown, suddenly stood up. However, at this moment, Feng Tian’s eyes were filled with hatred. His emotions had long been dominated by anger.

“So it was you two who lured the enemy over here, wasting my trust in you, yet you betrayed me!” Said Feng Tian as he walked towards Luo Fei and Tang Ran.

“No, Feng Tian, listen to me. I…”

Tang Ran was about to explain when Feng Tian interrupted him.

Feng Tian gritted his teeth and said, “There’s no need to explain. The two of you, including them, will die here today! I want you to be buried with me-!”
