Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
When Mo Chu and Ning Yiyuan returned to the team, they were surprised to find that the entire scene had a strange polarization.
On one side, the team members with Deng Xiao as their main representative were actively surrounding each other, and heated discussions could be heard from time to time. On the other side, the members of the Hunters team with Lan Wei as their main representative were all standing silently at the side, they did not say a word.
The area that was only about ten square meters was forcefully divided into two separate spaces.
It formed a stance of equal resistance.
The return of Mo Chu and Ning Yiyuan instantly tore through this barrier.
!!
“You guys are back?” Deng Xiao smiled faintly as he walked forward. His attitude was warm, but it still could not hide the shrewdness in his eyes. “We’re discussing how to enter Anyuan Town. You guys should come up with some ideas too, right?”
Mo Chu glanced at him. This person stood in the middle of the crowd. His attitude looked gentle, but underneath it, there was an unyielding determination that could not be rejected.
He was not a simple character! Mo Chu silently commented in her heart, but after thinking about it, it made sense. If he was not capable, how could he sit firmly in charge of the White Tiger team?
“Then what’s your conclusion?” Ning Yiyuan raised his head slightly and asked casually.
Just one sentence and one look instantly turned the situation around. Ning Yiyuan had successfully taken control!
Deng Xiao also quickly realized this and his eyes could not help but darken. After being asked by Ning Yiyuan, all of them seemed to have become his subordinates. Ning Yiyuan seemed to display the demeanor of a superior.
Seeing the unwillingness in Deng Xiao’s eyes, Mo Chu could not help but raise her eyebrows.
Deng Xiao could be considered an important figure. Unfortunately, when he met Ning Yiyuan, his brilliance and scheming instantly turned into the light of a firefly. He was completely suppressed!
“What’s the situation inside Anyuan Town… No one knows.” Deng Xiao paused for a moment and said in a slightly low voice, “We’ve discussed it just now. We’re going to send a few people to investigate the situation first.”
Anyuan Town was quite big. If there were too many zombies in it, they would have to rearrange the mission. Otherwise, if they rushed in rashly, they would not be able to bear the consequences.
“So?” Ning Yiyuan’s tone was a bit playful. “Who… are the candidates that you’ve discussed?”
“Well… ahem.” Hearing this, Deng Xiao lowered his head and cleared his throat. He did not answer this question directly. “We think four or five people are enough. It’s quiet, so we can look after each other.”
“And then?” Ning Yiyuan asked unhurriedly. He even raised his eyebrows with interest, and the corner of his mouth curled up into a slight sarcastic smile.
His sharp eyes swept over the others. Those who met Ning Yiyuan’s eyes quickly lowered their heads, not daring to look him in the eye.
They felt guilty! Wasn’t that so? Taking advantage of the fact that Ning Yiyuan and Mo Chu had gone out, they had set the quota for these two people. This was really unfair!
They were very clear about this, but they were afraid!
Now, when they closed their eyes, they could still remember the dense zombie army from before, and they were just pawns who were drowned in it! If they were not careful, they might be trapped in it and never come out again… How could they not be afraid when they thought of this?
However, Ning Yiyuan was different. This master was a real expert. With the help of an auditory special ability user like Mo Chu, they would be like tigers with wings. Nothing would happen to them.
As they comforted themselves, the remaining guilt in their hearts seemed to be even less.
However, at this moment, the sharp and penetrating eyes of Ning Yiyuan were like sharp swords, piercing into the depths of their hearts. They could not help but panic, unable to utter a single word.
“I guess… Ning Yiyuan and I must be in the team.” Mo Chu laughed softly. Her voice was not loud, but it was like a fierce slap to their faces.
Everyone’s faces could not help but turn pale. When they raised their heads and wanted to defend themselves, they met Mo Chu’s eyes and were stunned.
If Ning Yiyuan’s sharp eyes were like a sharp sword, then Mo Chu’s clear eyes were like a clear mercury mirror, reflecting the dirty selfishness in their hearts. Facing these eyes, they did not even have the strength to open their mouths.
“Yes, everyone knows that both of your combat strength is first-class.” Obviously, Deng Xiao’s skin was unusually thick. He was still able to speak with a smile on his face without the slightest bit of shame and guilt. “Therefore, the two of you will naturally be included.”
“Then, for the remaining two or three spots, you will naturally be included.” Ning Yiyuan glanced at him lightly, but his words were extremely sharp. You’re amazing, aren’t you? So, naturally, you will also participate in this exploration group.
He did not expect Ning Yiyuan to make such a counter-attack. Deng Xiao’s expression stiffened, but it quickly returned to normal. He hurriedly waved his hand, “Look, aren’t you teasing me? With my skills, not only will I not be of any help, I might even be a burden to you guys!”
If the situation was not right, Mo Chu really wanted to go up and give this person a tight slap on the face to see how thick his skin could be!
“Let’s go.” At this moment, Lan Wei and Lan Lin stood out from the side. Their faces were pale but there was a hint of determination in them. “We will go with you guys to check out the situation.”
Aiyo! Deng Xiao was overjoyed when he heard that!
To put it nicely, they were going to Anyuan Town to check out the situation. To put it bluntly, they were going to be pioneers.
What was a pioneer? To put it bluntly, they were going to die first!
Initially, they thought that it was already good enough to have Ning Yiyuan and Mo Chu. They did not expect Lan Lin and Lan Wei to take the initiative to go together. This was a pleasant surprise!
Deng Xiao managed his expression well. His ecstatic expression only flashed for a second or two before it was immediately suppressed. However, it was still caught by Mo Chu’s eyes. She could not help but feel disgusted. She subconsciously took a few steps back. Tsk tsk, she did not even want to breathe the same air as such people.
When her gaze landed on Lan Wei and Lan Lin, her expression softened and she asked softly, “Are both of you going?”
“Yes.” Lan Lin nodded and looked at Deng Xiao brazenly. The sarcasm and disdain in his tone were clearly displayed. “Instead of staying here and being disgusted by a despicable person, it would be better to go to Anyuan Town with the both of you to investigate the situation!”
Furthermore, if they could complete this mission earlier, they would be able to leave earlier and they would no longer have to stand together with this scum!
Lan Lin’s voice was deliberately loud so that almost everyone present could hear what he said.
The key point was that his words were too instructive. Without thinking too much, everyone knew who he was referring to! Hence, all of them turned their heated gazes towards Deng Xiao.
Clenching his fists tightly, a hint of anger flashed across Deng Xiao’s eyes. He acted as though he did not understand Ning Yiyuan and Mo Chu’s sarcasm and endured it. After all, these two people were not simple characters. However, who was Lan Lin to dare to challenge him so openly?
Hmph! That Lan Lin was just anobody!
Deng Xiao turned his body to the side and took in everyone’s fiery gaze on him. His eyes turned darker and darker. “It’s good that the two of you are so righteous. However, you have to be careful. Don’t end up like your team’s Old Bai, begging us to shoot you in the head!”
As he said the last part, the sarcasm was obvious!
“Say it again!” Old Bai was the Achilles heel of the Hunters team. At this moment, Lan Lin’s eyes were red as he punched Deng Xiao’s annoying face!
“Say it again! I dare you! Say It!” In terms of actual strength, there was still a gap between Lan Lin and Deng Xiao. However, the situation now was completely different. Lan Lin was completely beating Deng Xiao up!
Look, that fist, that leg, it was extremely vicious! It was as though he would not give up until Deng Xiao was beaten to death!
The people beside them were stunned. Lan Lin did not make a sound, but he shocked everyone with a single feat! Usually, they could not tell that this young man had such strength. He was actually able to suppress Deng Xiao?
On the other hand, Mo Chu was more aware. Actually, it was not impossible for such a situation to happen. Firstly, Lan Lin was the first to make a move. He already had the upper hand. Furthermore, under his rage, he had unleashed 120% of his abilities. It was natural for him to be able to suppress Deng Xiao.
However, there was still a gap between their abilities and Lan Lin’s advantage did not last for long. After all, Deng Xiao was not a paper tiger and he still had some abilities. Hence, he reacted quickly and started to resist.
Seeing that Lan Lin was about to be at a disadvantage, Mo Chu cleared her throat and said, “Aiya! Why are you fighting? Why aren’t you guys stopping them?”
As she said that, she gave Lan Wei a look and took the lead to walk over and separate the two of them. However, injuries were inevitable in these kinds of fights. Not long after, Mo Chu used her hand to forcefully slam Deng Xiao’s mouth, the sound was crisp! One could imagine how much pain Deng Xiao was in!
In the end, before Deng Xiao could strike first, Mo Chu apologized. Her attitude was sincere and her manner was apologetic. “I’m sorry, umm… I didn’t notice. I’ll definitely be more careful next time.”
F*ck! How could there be a next time?
Covering his mouth, Deng Xiao’s eyes darkened! He was in endless pain. This damnable little girl, did she really think that I wouldn’t dare to teach her a lesson?
Just as this thought flashed through his mind, Deng Xiao felt an inexplicable chill on his body. That feeling was as if he was being targeted by a ferocious beast. He turned his head to look.
Ha! Good heavens, Ning Yiyuan was currently staring at him with a sharp gaze! That heavy pressure that seeped out from his bones made him feel breathless!
Obviously, he had no choice but to swallow this loss!
