Chapter 426: Chapter 276: Spear vs. Shield, Which Is Stronger? (Part 2)
Thinking about being the one who gets eaten, a surge of anger welled up inside her.
Even though she was just an adopted daughter, she was still part of the Black Kite’s upper echelon, and not even the apocalypse had affected her quality of life and social circle.
Why should a conductor who crawled out from a pile of corpses have the right to decide her life or death with just a word?!
Bao Qingqing said angrily, "I hope to remind you that everyone here weighs more than you can imagine!"
Although their power wasn’t as strong as Mr. Shu’s, combined, it’s a terrifying force, and even Mr. Shu wouldn’t dare let them all die here.
A few young people, fearful at heart, suddenly gained a bit more confidence when they thought of their backgrounds.
"My dad is a Gold Kite level researcher in the lab..."
"My uncle is the director of Section Four..."
One by one, the young people declared their backgrounds, adding a footnote to her words.
With each ntion of a powerful backing, the group’s confidence hardened.
They weren’t standing up for Bao Qingqing; so might not even like her, but they were standing up for their own lives!
And their backgrounds were their only bargaining chips for survival.
Mountain Goat and a few others looked toward the conductor.
But no matter how noisy they got, Su Huan only had eyes for Mr. Shu.
Mr. Shu sighed softly in his heart.
There were quite a few elites among these young ones, but when their lives were threatened, their minds beca muddled.
These young ones were here because he needed more support, so he intended to share the benefits with their "parents" behind them. To put it simply, his plan was to let the juniors co and feast.
But now, facing a giant crocodile, he couldn’t even get to the table, so how could these juniors?
When the power gap reaches a certain level, no word matters anymore.
From a human perspective, it’s hard to see those things that can be swept away with a breath as similar beings.
The power in one’s hands is always more potent than a distant background.
"I’ll bet with you."
Mr. Shu said simply.
"Refreshing."
Su Huan’s eyes flashed with appreciation.
Though the old guy was a bit foolish at first, he quickly sobered up once he saw the situation clearly.
Not just anyone had such courage.
Mountain Goat, holding back anger because of the double-dealing, went straight to tie people up after hearing this.
Faced with Su Huan, who gave them no chance, Bao Qingqing was distressed, but catching a glimpse of Wang Yi standing aside suddenly cald her.
Among these fourteen people was Shu Wei’s mother.
"Right, the oldest one doesn’t need to be included."
Su Huan suddenly instructed.
Mountain Goat’s cold gaze swept over the crowd and fell thoughtfully on the face that resembled Shu Wei’s.
Wang Yi’s already pale complexion turned nearly black upon hearing this.
But the years hadn’t been entirely wasted, and she kept silent despite Su Huan’s overbearing deanor.
Bao Qingqing’s heart sank when she saw this.
No one to take the fall either?
Tan Yunxi looked around, suddenly ducking with a grin toward Su Huan, "Conductor, I’m not as important as them, can you spare ...?"
"Heh, let’s forget about this one too, hang up the rest."
Su Huan chuckled softly.
Bao Qingqing’s heart turned completely cold.
"Boom!"
Before anyone could be grabbed, the wall separating the inner chamber and the hall exploded, debris and dust scattering everywhere, trailing a murky path in the air.
A cold, blue long spear followed closely, shooting forward at an even more terrifying speed.
It looked poised to pierce both individuals directly.
"Su Huan."
Yu Yue urgently lifted a foot, only to see Su Huan place a hand on that knotted muscular back.
The other hand directly reached for the howling spear.
In an instant, lightning flashed.
The towering figure defied physical laws, halting in midair before crashing onto the sofa with a thud a second later.
A gust slamd into the rear wall, leaving only a rolling dragon of smoke dissipating to both sides.
The imposing Golden Kite strode in, and upon seeing the eerie scene in the inner chamber, looked as if he’d seen a ghost.
His heartbeat soared to two hundred, eyes bulging like brass bells.
To grab the spear he’d just thrown barehanded—was this the Second Tier "Power Supplier" recorded in the files?
Was the administration compiling reports with their brains or their rear ends?
More alarming was that those three half-dead Second Tiers were beaten so badly, yet he hadn’t heard a single loud sound.
This was truly a hell of an encounter!
Liang Kuan’s chest heaved like bellows, leading one to suspect there was an engine housed inside his broad chest.
He struggled to open his blurry eyes, seeing the person standing over him, he quietly asked, "Does what you promised
still count?"
"You have to stay alive."
Liang Kuan slowly sat up, stern-faced, "If we kill him, we pass this level, right?"
Su Huan replied calmly, "Absolutely."
As the words fell, in a stunned gaze from Su Huan, the man rocketed out like a cannonball.
n with families are like that, ready to take on anything, but sotis the burden is simply too much.
Even with his skills evolving during the battle, Liang Kuan faced off against the Second Tier "Wandering God" and was completely outmatched.
The mightiest force plumted wildly when stamina was exhausted.
Each random punch required every ounce of strength from Liang Kuan to block; within just two moves, he was sent flying back once more.
Su Huan took two steps forward, placing a hand on Liang Kuan’s dampened back, saying gently, "Your task is done; excessively triggering the ’Battle Factor’ is not good."
"In that case, this ans we’ve won, hasn’t it?"
Mr. Shu suddenly interjected.
Once Liang Kuan regained his footing, Su Huan released his hold and found his palm stained red.
Smiling to himself, Su Huan calmly said without turning to Mr. Shu, "Of course, you’ve won, but...dare you forgo the prize?"
The Golden Kite didn’t quite understand what they had been betting on, but he could tell this was an unadulterated threat!
And it was directed at Black Kite Hall’s own Number Three Director!
Ridiculous, yet today’s absurdity overflows, nothing unusual. He was more curious about Mr. Shu’s response.
"Young people nowadays aren’t very considerate, but in this situation, even if I said it, would you believe ?"
"Then say sothing believable."
Su Huan replied nonchalantly.
Mr. Shu stood up, staring directly into Su Huan’s pitch-black eyes, "Are you sure about eating
up?"
"Not just you." Su Huan pointed with the flower sword in his hand to the room’s corner, "But also that one inside."
Mr. Shu’s eyes registered shock anew, gradually shifting to gravity.
"Number Two, he’s already seen you. Hide any longer and the Black Kite will be consud by him."
"It’s your ineptitude, not mine."
A soft feminine voice erged from the slowly opening secret door.
An alluring woman appeared, stepping lightly on the water-covered floor without any sign of sinking.
Her smoky, soul-striking eyes curiously appraised Su Huan, "How did you discover ?"
With caution, the Golden Kite man faced Su Huan, slowly retreating to the woman’s side.
Su Huan, "The scent of old age is too strong."
The woman’s graceful smile and exquisite makeup simultaneously froze on her face.
Shu Wei’s mouth curved slightly upward.
She wasn’t fond of Bao Qingqing, nor was she fond of this mysterious stepmother.
"Crude words, but I like them!"
Wild laughter erupted from above.
Three bearded, blue-eyed, and fair-haired hulking n leapt down, appearing like heavily ard rcenaries.
Su Huan tilted his head, "Who are they representing now?"
Shu Wei glanced at the emblem on their shoulders, calmly replying, "Gunfire, the faction that distributed a large amount of gene elixirs, headquartered further north."
Su Huan’s eyes lit up slightly, scrutinizing the three n a bit more.
From their appearances, they seed to be of the Mao Bear ethnicity.
The gene elixirs from Gunfire were widespread in the wilds in the past, also a major force that knew the truth of the apocalypse.
Today’s surprises keep coming one after another.
Su Huan grinned slightly, "More and more people are showing up, is there any more awaiting?"
