Chapter 531: Conspiracy

Translator: Liu_Kaixuan Editor: Valvrave

Everyone present thought they had heard wrong. It was too dangerous outside! How could the Shi Ying Squad go outside on its own? The reason Han Yuan had rejected Jiang Liushi suggested that he believed it was impossible for him and his team to fight without the military's help.

Although it sounded unbelievable, Jiang Liushi had made his decision. He didn't bother explaining it to the gathered people. He just exchanged a few more words with Luo Qiusheng before leaving with his team.

As Luo Qiusheng was watching the departing minibus, the surprised look on his face resurfaced. Then, he turned to look Han Yuan and company, wondering what they were thinking.

"Hum! It's quite easy to brag. If they cherish their lives, they'll return," said Lu Tianlong coldly.

"The minibus may be superior to regular vehicles, but compared with our heavy weapons, it's nothing," said Han Yuan.

Luo Qiusheng sighed. In his mind, Jiang Liushi wasn't lying or bragging about his decision. But he was still worried as the situation outside was quite dangerous and Jiang Liushi had only a handful of members and a single vehicle.

'If they go out to hunt mutant beasts, far away from the Black Hole, it will be safe enough. Maybe Jiang Liushi has thought this through,' thought Luo Qiusheng.

"Captain Jiang..." Peach and Wei Feifei were disappointed as they did not even have the chance to greet Jiang Liushi. The people conversing with Jiang Liushi were all influential military figures, so they hadn't wanted to disturb them. Unfortunately, when they stopped talking, Jiang Liushi boarded the minibus and departed immediately.

"They want to go out on their own? Are they crazy? How stubborn can they be?" said Tang Cangyun, believing he had made spot-on comments. But Wei Feifei didn't even look at him, pulling Peach back to the Headquarters' hall.

"Sooner or later, your attitude toward me will change!" Tang Cangyun smiled. He felt lucky because Jiang Liushi was no longer a threat to his plans and future. Since things had come to that point, what was there to worry about?

"Brother Jiang, will we really not cooperate with the military?" asked Li Yuxin as soon as Jiang Liushi returned to the minibus. They all knew about the content of their conversation as Ran Xiyu had shared with them her spiritual vision.

"Yes." Jiang Liushi nodded. "Judging from Han Yuan's attitude, even if we accepted their terms, they'd order us around and restrict our movements."

"There's no need to cooperate with such people!" said Jiang Zhuying angrily. If her brother had allowed her, Jiang Zhuying would have long gotten off the minibus and teach them a lesson. In her mind, at such a critical moment, everybody should be fighting the enemies outside instead of scheming and gathering all power in their hands.

"Commander Luo's attitude isn't bad, but our target is the Black Hole. With that in mind, it doesn't make sense to cooperate with any faction," said Jiang Liushi.

"So, we will set out on our own?" asked Ran Xiyu while looking far away. She had spread her mental energy quite far, but she hadn't dared to try and scan the Black Hole. If she did, her mental energy would be devoured by the Black Hole.

What's the Black Hole? Ran Xiyu really wanted to know, and since Jiang Liushi had decided to hunt it down, she would support him. Ran Xiyu would follow Jiang Liushi to the most dangerous place if needed.

"Yeah, we need to set off soon," replied Jiang Liushi calmly.

After that, he sat down and rested his hands on the seat's armrests. Then, he summoned Starseed and asked it to transmit everything about the minibus' upgrade progress. If Han Yuan thought that Jiang Liushi's minibus was good now, how would he feel if he were to learn that it could be upgraded?

…

Soon, the mutant beasts' attacks in the Safety Zone stopped. Initially, the mutant beasts' mission was to shield and cover the mutant beasts with the Black Light. But that plan failed, as Jiang Liushi had killed all of those monsters and absorbed the assimilated energies as nutrients for Starseed. Then, the military's job became much easier, and they killed all the remaining beasts.

Although no more mutant beasts came attacking, the black shadow looming over Jiangming City was constantly growing. It was close to the Jiangning Safety Zone, just like a mountain pressing over their heads. Slowly, many people were overwhelmed. Under this crisis, the entire Jiangning was in an emergency preparation state. By contrast, the matter of Shi Ying Squad rejecting General Han's invitation was nothing at all. Only a few people cared about that matter.

After the failed negotiation, Wan Yiling investigated about her sister. From her initial investigation, she found that all the rescued survivors would talk about Jiang Liushi and his team with reverence. Then, she learned why Wan Lan was not saved, and everything that had happened between her and Jiang Liushi. Although Wan Yiling didn't care much about her own sister, Wan Lan was still her family. A raging flame of hatred was lit in Wan Yiling's heart after learning everything. Jiang Liushi had no obligation to save Wan Lan, but Wan Yiling could not accept it.

'If Jiang Liushi had agreed to join us, I would have plenty of methods to kill him. But now…' thought Wan Yiling.

Wan Yiling was quite a smart woman. As soon as Han Yuan and his subordinates had come to the Jiangming Safety Zone, she had immediately created an opportunity to get Han Yuan's attention. She may be a woman with a poor ability and no background, but she firmly believed that if she could find a strong backer, she would get everything she wanted. Instead of flaunting her beauty like other women, she had chosen the intellectual path. Her current backer was Han Yuan, who unfortunately already despised Jiang Liushi, meaning that there was no way he would invite him again.

At that moment, Wan Yiling started reading a battle report, which included the Shi Ying Squad's performance. After reading it, she became happy as a new plan had started forming in her mind.

'As long as it succeeds, not only will I hurt Jiang Liushi, but also increase my influence. After that, I can return to the Huaxia Region together with Han Yuan. I heard that the Huaxia Region is a place where all the powers were preserved well after doomsday. In that place, I will enjoy my life…' thought Wan Yiling.

Although she was quite excited, she could keep her calm all the time. For her, taking revenge for Wan Lan wasn't important at all. Her own future was most important. But the key was in Jiang Liushi's hands.

Wan Yiling sneered. 'Jiang Liushi, I was too polite to you. But it's okay. Since we've already torn all pretenses, I will not hesitate to destroy you. You've brought this upon yourself!'
