Global Descent: 100×Reward Novel - Chapter 38

Chapter 38: Vicious Person: Chu Xiu!

“Hehe—”

“You!”

The bald boss clutched his neck as his eyes widened in anger. He could not believe that he would die at the hands of a weak scholar.

Thump!

The body fell to the ground, dead.

“Chu Xiu, you, you killed someone!”

The pretty girl’s face turned pale. She shouted in panic, “We… we have to run. When Boss Bai’s friends come back, you’ll die too. Get out of here. Hurry!”

“Don’t be afraid, Sister Bao’er. Go and organize the living supplies..”

Chu Xiu wiped the bloodied short dagger on the bald boss’s corpse and retrieved the blue dagger.

He looked up at the pretty girl, his pale cheeks forcing a smile. “Trust me,” he said with a smile. “I’ll take care of it.”

“Then, please be careful.”

Zhang Bao’er glanced at him timidly before jogging back to her graveyard.

After the girl left, the rangers who had stayed behind in the graveyard sensed the commotion and rushed over.

When they saw the body of the bald boss and the expressionless Chu Xiu, it was too obvious.

The human lords were having an internal strife!

“Fifth Lord, what are you doing!” Someone asked boldly.

Chu Xiu didn’t say anything but secretly made a gesture.

Swish! Swish! Swish!

The rangers who belonged to Chu Xiu outside the graveyard retaliated and quickly killed the rangers beside the bald boss’s corpse.

“My lord, I’ve accomplished my mission.”

A moment later, a tall male ranger walked over and said while cupping his fists.

“Chu Yang, according to the plan, we will divide the corpses of these people. Some of them will be left on the way to the powerful lord, while the rest will be left for you to go to the haunted house in the north to attract the zombie wave. Are you confident that you can do it?” Chu Xiu asked seriously.

“Yes I can, but I might die.” Chu Yang’s heart wavered slightly.

Although his name was given to him by his lord, he was still afraid to die.

Seemingly reading his thoughts, Chu Xiu smiled and said, “Don’t worry. When you fulfill the mission requirements, I will remove the recruitment status. At that time, you will be a free man and can escape to the underworld via the teleportation array.”

Upon hearing this, Chu Yang hesitated for a moment. However, in order to repay the Lord for giving him a name, he still agreed.

“Very good, I didn’t misjudge you. Go now. These corpses have just died, and the smell of blood is strong. As long as you lead the zombie wave to a thousand meter range, they will automatically attack that human lord.”

“After you are done, shoot an arrow in Brother Qiang’s direction. I will immediately remove the recruitment status.”

“In that case, my lord, we will never meet again!”

Chu Yang bowed deeply to him.

Removing the recruitment meant that they would never have the opportunity to get recruited for a second time in their lives.

This was the rule of the underworld. No underworld citizens could violate it.

Hence, after this separation, they would never meet again.

After completing the last bow to his lord, Chu Yang got up and brought his subordinates to quickly move the ten corpses out of the graveyard.

Seeing his original subordinate leave, Chu Xiu didn’t stay idle.

He looted all the resources in Boss Bai’s bunker and recruited another 32 rangers.

“Chu Xiu, I’m done packing—”

At this moment, Zhang Bao’er packed up her living supplies and rushed out.

“Sister Bao’er, bring 20 rangers and wait for me at the river 1000 meters away,” Chu Xiu said.

“What about you?” Zhang Bao’er asked.

“I still have one last problem to settle. Don’t worry, as long as Sister Bao’er is alive, I will never die.”

A bright smile appeared on Chu Xiu’s calm face, just like when they first met.

With that, he didn’t care if Zhang Bao’er agreed or not and brought the remaining 12 rangers back to where Brother Qiang and the others were.

“Why did it take so long to finish?”

As soon as they met, Brother Qiang raised his eyebrows in displeasure.

It had been an hour and a half since Chu Xiu left. He was about to fly into a rage because of the wait.

“The bait is a little far away, but it’s all done. You don’t have to worry when you leave things up to me.” Chu Xiu said seriously.

“You are so secretive. Where did you get the body from? There wouldn’t be any problems with it, right?” Brother Qiang asked worriedly.

“Absolutely not. The bodies are all fresh out, and I’ve done it myself. The victim was a human lord a thousand meters away from us. I found him this morning when I was out looking for supplies. No background history. Just one man. Including his subordinates, there were exactly ten bodies, enough to attract the attention of the zombie wave.”

“That’s good.” Brother Qiang heaved a sigh of relief.

For the past hour or so, his nerves had been tense.

Now that he was risking his life, he could not afford to be careless.

Initially, he was worried that a small sized scholar like Chu Xiu would be soft-hearted when he had to kill someone. If he couldn’t do it, he would have to go personally.

He didn’t expect Chu Xiu to be such a ruthless person. After killing someone, he was still able to keep a straight face. He had underestimated him in the past.

Of course, with his intelligence, he quickly forgot about this.

After all, to him, pillaging the super-rich lord was the most important thing.

“If we succeed in this raid, we will be taking off. If my brother knew, he would laugh even in his dreams.”

Brother Qiang chuckled and looked towards the north.

As expected, Chu Xiu’s subordinates had already started moving. There was a commotion coming from the Haunted House to their north, and he felt like he was one step closer to success.

“Of course, Boss Bai will be proud of you.”

Chu Xiu complimented him plainly, but his eyes under his glasses were extremely cold.

Swish!

Ten minutes later, an arrow pierced through the air and landed in their direction.

“They found us?” Brother Qiang and the rest were shocked.

“No, that’s my subordinate, Chu Yang. He succeeded and told us to go around the back.”

Chu Xiu’s eyes glinted as he explained.

As for the original plan to cancel the recruitment order, he chose to remain silent.

To him, be it people from Earth or the underworld, he only believed in dead people.

And the reason why he made such a crazy choice was because there were voices in his head constantly warning him.

He had to quickly leave this place. The owner of this territory was extremely dangerous.

If they angered him, it would definitely be a fight to death.

For the sake of Sister Bao’er and himself, he could only think of ways to silence Chu Yang.

A moment later, there was a faint cry of anger and grief from afar, but very quickly, it was concealed by the zombie wave’s growls.

“Let’s go. The zombie wave is coming. Let’s go around the back and wait for his soldiers to leave for the fight. That will be our chance.” Chu Xiu adjusted his glasses and said calmly.

“Hahaha, good fellow. You’re really something. I’ll remember your meritorious service this time.” Brother Qiang laughed.

During this time, he had discovered quite a few good things within Lin Ye’s territory, and with his greed, he wished to take everything for himself.

“Let’s go! Find a good place and prepare to fight!”
