Chapter 217 You are too weak
Jing picked up a tin can from the table, hooked a chair in front of him with his long legs, and sat on it backwards.
He bit a hole in the can lid with his teeth, grabbed the sharp edge of the tin lid with his fingers, tore the tin lid open with his bare hands and threw it out. The tin lid pierced straight into the concrete wall opposite him with a loud bang.
He said slowly, "You don't have to blame anyone else for this. This is all my fault."
"Oh yeah, since this mission has failed, I don't have the face to continue staying in the mercenary group, so let's just disband here."
Ji Lanlan was shocked: "Jing, don't say anything angry. Leaving the regiment without permission will have serious consequences!"
A wooden spoon appeared in Jing's hand. He scooped out a spoonful of canned beef and stuffed it into his mouth. He said nonchalantly, "I know. It's on the strangled list. So what?"
Ji Lanlan looked at him worriedly. Their team belonged to a mercenary organization called the Blue Fox Corps. Before the end of the world, they were engaged in a risky business.
After the end of the world, the mercenary group suffered heavy losses. Less than one in ten people mutated and survived. The mercenary group was almost falling apart.
It was the founder code-named "Crown of Thorns" who urgently provided a large amount of supplies, which enabled them to absorb fresh blood and continue to operate.
It was at this time that Jing joined.
At first he said that he had a single wood-related ability, and his invisibility ability was not revealed, so he was assigned to their team, which was seriously short of staff, as an ordinary sentinel.
During a stranglehold mission, the hunted A-class sentinel blew himself up, and in the critical moment, Jing opened the shadow channel and rescued everyone. Only then did they realize that Jing was actually a rare dual-element mutation of the Wood and Shadow elements.
After that, Brother Qiao changed a little, especially towards Jing. He was always harsh and sarcastic, taking the most difficult tasks and putting all of them on Jing's shoulders.
Brother Qiao was not like this before the end of the world. At that time, he was a captain who was very good to his teammates. He was strong and tolerant, responsible, and he led by example.
After the end of the world, although he had mutated, his ability level was only B-level. Only Brother You and himself were left among the original team members. The newly recruited team members were not willing to accept him, a B-level player, as the captain, and always asked for transfer after not staying for long.
Jing finally arrived. Although Jing was unwilling to undergo the mental strength test, his abilities had never been a hindrance, and everything was moving in a good direction.
However, Jing is a dual-series variation. If it were to be rated, the dual-series variation would be rated at least S level.
Ji Lanlan could more or less understand Brother Qiao's psychology. The aging wolf leader couldn't help but feel jealous of his young and strong counterparts.
This jealousy reached its peak until he found out that Jing also had the ability to become invisible.
So he stopped the corps commander's plan of attack and accepted the mission. He probably didn't want Jing to come back alive...
Qiao Fengyu laughed mockingly, "You've gotten into trouble, and you want to run away?"
Jing Yi shrugged and squeezed the empty tin can into a ball: "I just found something more fun."
He stood up, and the oppressive feeling brought by his height and momentum made Qiao Fengyu want to step back.
This further fueled his anger.
"Do you think that you can come and go as you please at Blue Fox?" His face was a little ferocious, and he gritted his teeth and said, "What do you think of mercenaries? What do you think of us?"
Jing smiled and said, "Being a mercenary is something I have never tried before. Now that I have tried it, I am ready to try something more interesting. It's that simple. Don't make me sound like a heartless scumbag."
Ji Lanlan felt a dull pain in her chest: "Jing, aren't we teammates?"
Jing looked at Ji Lanlan with his beautiful dark green eyes and said naively and cruelly: "You and Brother You can be my friends, but as teammates, you are too weak."
Ji Lanlan's eyes were shocked and she was speechless for a moment.
Qiao Fengyu was furious: "I will kill you!"
A thick black crack tore open behind Jing. Before the pure darkness swallowed him, he gracefully said goodbye to the three people: "The grace of saving my life in the past has been offset by today. As for the future, I wish you good luck."
Qiao Fengyu raised his hand and threw out a fireball. The dark cracks suddenly closed and Jing disappeared on the spot. The fireball passed through the afterimage, brushed past Ji Lanlan's ear, and slammed into the wall, bursting into sparks.
With a crisp "ding" sound, the small iron ball made by Jing out of a can fell to the ground. Ji Lanlan looked at the iron ball in shock, unable to believe that he left without any reluctance.
In the dead of night, a bonfire was lit in a large, unused office on the lower level of City Hall.
In the small room of the suite, Ai Wanxin was sleeping soundly on the small bed put out from the space. Before resting, she had asked the four of them if they wanted to sleep together (perform sleeping activities at the same time), but because she omitted too many key words, the four of them rejected her request with complicated expressions.
She didn't care about that, since they didn't seem to need sleep anyway.
Listening to her breathing gradually stabilizing, He Yang fiddled with the fire, looked at Tuoba Qing, chuckled, and said, "It seems like you are hiding a lot of things from my sweetheart?"
Tuoba Qiong's deep facial features were dim in the firelight. He said coldly, "What does it have to do with you?"
He Yang restrained his usual smirk, frowned slightly, and his narrow eyes revealed a ferocity that he never showed in front of Ai Wanxin: "It's none of my business how many secrets you have, but if you put her in danger, I won't let you go."
Tuoba Qiong said grimly: "Did I let her take the risk? When I said I would blow up this place with a missile, who said I was anti-human?"
"If she wasn't affected by the meteorite, how likely would you be to win if you barged in like this?"
"Captain He, aren't you the one who is truly ambitious and reckless, and who put her in danger?"
You really haven't changed at all.
He Yang felt a breath stuck in his chest and was choked by Tuoba Qiong, leaving him speechless.
Before the end of the world, he had few rivals. After the end of the world, he was differentiated into a top-level sentinel. He looked down on everyone except Ai Wanxin. In addition, the meteorite on Mingxiao Mountain that could absorb the life energy of surrounding creatures had no effect on him. Therefore, even though he knew that his supernatural powers would be suppressed this time, he didn't take it too seriously.
As Tuoba Qing said, if it weren’t for Sweetheart, they might not have been able to get away so easily.
Mutations are everywhere in the apocalypse, and there are meteorites with strange abilities. Perhaps this is a warning to his inherent arrogance...
The argument between the two did not wake up Ai Wanxin who was sleeping soundly.
In her dream, she appeared again in the broad and deep church.
