Chapter 543: Broken Legs

Translator: Liu_Kaixuan Editor: Valvrave

Han Yuan had a strong feeling that if he dared to move, Jiang Liushi would pull the trigger without hesitation.

"Captain Jiang, please calm down," said Han Yuan.

He wasn't an ordinary person, and thus he was not nervous in such a critical moment. "It is not a wise choice to kill me. In the future, no matter where you go, you will suffer greatly. You and your team will never have the chance to step your foot in a Safety Zone again," said Han Yuan slowly.

He believed that Jiang Liushi would reconsider for the sake of his family members and friends. Even if Jiang Liushi was quite arrogant, he had to weigh the consequences of blatantly killing a general.

Unexpectedly, as Han Yuan's voice died away, Jiang Liushi pulled the trigger without warning!

"Ah!"

Although Han Yuan had complied, he was still shot in the leg. His flesh and blood burst, mixed with bone fragments, before his calf was deformed. The pain was so intense that Han Yuan could no longer keep his calm and started screaming. It was obvious that Jiang Liushi had not killed him on purpose.

Han Yuan's face was ghastly pale, and his mouth was twitching. He could not even speak properly because of the agonizing pain. If he wasn't a paranormal, his excessive blood loss would lead to cardiac arrest – certain death.

Jiang Liushi threw a contemptuous look at Han Yua, who could not even stand. Since Han Yuan had dared to threaten him, Jiang Liushi found it necessary to teach him a lesson.

"This time, it's just one leg. Next time, I'll shoot the other leg," said Jiang Liushi nonchalantly.

Han Yuan looked at Jiang Liushi in terror and lost his high spirits. He finally understood that in Jiang Liushi's eyes, his identity as a general didn't mean anything.

"As for whether my team and I can set foot on Safety Zone's or be a part of the human society, it's not something that should bother you," added Jiang Liushi. As he possessed the MCV, Jiang Liushi could easily establish his own Safety Zone on his own.

"What should really bother you is that your name is going to be a target of public criticism! From the very beginning, the Black Hole was your only target, right? You proposed to create the Assault Team just for the weapons and manpower, right? All for what? To get the core! You were supposed to fend off the threat approaching the Safety Zone! But what did you do instead? You put your selfish interests above all else. Do you even know how many people died because of you? What's worse, you already knew some things about the Black Hole, but you never shared them. If you had, the Jiangning Safety Zone's leaders would not be so passive," said Jiang Liushi.

What Jiang Liushi said was simply the truth. Thus, he ripped apart Han Yuan's hypocritical coat, revealing that he had blindsided everyone.

Han Yuan sneered aloud and was about to talk, but Jiang Liushi interrupted him. "Secretary Wan, do you want a personal invitation to come out?"

Wan Yiling was behind the battle tank. She was covered in dirt and was searching for her glasses. Upon hearing Jiang Liushi's voice, she came out. All the delicate make-up on her face was a mess while her body was trembling in fear. The image of the minibus colliding with the battle tank was too fresh. She had thought that they would die. As Wan Yiling realized that she was still alive after the impact, she hid behind the battle tank. But how could she possibly escape Ran Xiyu's sense?

"Didn't you want to kill me? Why are you hiding now?" asked Jiang Liushi mockingly.

Wan Yiling's body trembled even more after Jiang Liushi's remarks. From what she had gathered about Jiang Lushi the past few days, Wan Yiling had come to know about his decisive personality, sparing none of his enemies.

"Jiang- Captain Jiang…" Wan Yiling barely forced a smile. The uniform she was wearing had missing parts while her stockings were ripped apart, revealing her fair skin and some of her bruises.

"I was possessed by ghosts back then, but I can compensate you, Captain Jiang…" Wan Yiling gently pulled her clothes and unbuttoned her shirt a little, showing her deep-snow breasts. She was simply dressed, but her figure was pretty good.

Wan Yiling usually acted in a reserved manner, but she clearly knew that men were fond off such things. Some men would even feel great seeing proud women surrendering to them. Therefore, Wan Yiling wanted to take advantage of that fact to achieve her goal.

When Jiang Liushi heard and saw Wan Yiling undressing, he scanned her body unceremoniously. At the same time, Wan Yiling felt uncomfortable. It was as if he was ripping apart every shred of the remaining clothes with his eyes. But she still straightened her back, making her chest more prominent. She also sneered in her heart as Jiang Liushi seemed to be like any other man.

Suddenly, Jiang Liushi shook his head in disappointment and said with a hint of disgust in his tone, "Nah, you're too ugly."

Wan Yiling was petrified! She admitted that her looks couldn't hold a candle to the girls beside Jiang Liushi, but she was still an intellectual beauty. Saying that she was too ugly was more humiliating than slapping her face!

Wan Yiling threw a vicious look to Jiang Liushi, and then she said angrily, "Captain Jiang! I heard that Ms. Yuxin is also one of your teammates. If I'm not mistaken, her family members are working in the Jiangning Safety Zone's Research Institute. If Captain Jiang thinks that they are safe, you're too naïve-"

Before she could continue, Wan Yiling's body trembled involuntarily as she looked at Jiang Liushi. He was seething with anger and didn't hide his dense killing intent.

Wan Yiling felt as if someone had thrown her in the coldest river as she realized that her threat was a fatal mistake. She shouldn't have uttered those words! If she hadn't, she might have a little longer to live.

Unfortunately, it was too late as Jiang Liushi's cold muzzle was already locked on her!

"Nooo-"

The gunshot overshadowed Wan Yiling's scream, and the sniper bullet sent her body flying like a ragdoll while it was destroying her inside. Her blood was splashed everywhere.

Jiang Liushi was annoyed by Wan Yiling's threat. How could she have dared to threaten Li Yuxin's family?

Wan Wiling's death shocked the spectators. After all, she was Han Yuan's secretary, but Jiang Liushi killed without a hint of hesitation. But on second thought, Jiang Liushi had even shot Han Yuan, almost crippling both of his legs.

The moment Jiang Liushi had aimed and shot Wan Yiling, Han Yuan had let out a scream, jumping next to the battle tank to save his life. But as he attempted to do that, he felt like his head had been hit by a hammer and couldn't see anything. Shortly after, he recovered, and Jiang Liushi shot his other leg, maiming him. Han Yuan could no longer walk!

Han Yuan screamed in pain while his ghastly pale face was covered in sweat. He was already showing great restraint not rolling to the ground because of the unbearable pain. Jiang Liushi was simply tormenting him!

"Did you forget what I said earlier?" asked Jiang Liushi coldly.

"Ah!-" Han Yuan screamed loudly.

"I'd like to ask you a question." Jiang Liushi continued, "If you don't want to answer, then I will shoot one of your hands or fingers. You can give it a try if you want."

Actually, Jiang Liushi hadn't killed Han Yuan already because he wanted to question him.

Han Yuan shuddered in fear when he heard that, not doubting a single word. He believed that Jiang Liushi would do what he said.

"How much do you know about this Black Hole?" asked Jiang Liushi. He wondered why Han Yuan also knew about the Energy Body of Black Light or the core's existence. Jiang Liushi had learned about those from Starseed, but what about Han Yuan?

Fortunately, Han Yuan didn't know about Jiang Liushi's Starseed or that it could absorb all those energies. His Starseed was unique. But Jiang Liushi was indeed curious about the answer to that question in his mind. Who were they? How could they know? And what did they actually know? Did the government and the military know some secrets that they didn't? After all, before doomsday, the government was already aware of the disaster. No matter what's the truth, Jiang Liushi decided to learn about the situation and understand it first. Otherwise, he would feel uneasy all the time.

The Black Hole was a threat to his MCV, and it could appear again as long as a part of it was alive. Moreover, that Black Hole was one at its primary state, still growing. What if there was a powerful, mature Black Hole somewhere else? What should they do?

Logically speaking, there should be no such horrible monsters as the major safety zones should have sent warnings. Once the Black Hole matured, it would need a lot of energy. Naturally, Jiang Liushi knew all that as he overhead everything Han Yuan had said to Wan Yiling thanks to Ran Xiyu.

Han Yuan stared at Jiang Liushi in surprise, momentarily forgetting his pain.

"Commander, what should we do?" asked a soldier suddenly.

That Commander stopped, pondering over something carefully. Then, he waved his hands and said, "We'd better wait. If we act recklessly, we will only bring harm to General Han."

A soldier next to them was about to say something, but he stopped. If they attacked Jiang Liushi, Han Yuan would probably find a chance to escape. Even though he could no longer walk, he could use his hands to run. However, that soldier gave up on his idea as Han Yuan was not their actual leader and Jiang Liushi was the one that had saved them. Earlier they had acted because Han Yuan had given them the order and they couldn't disobey. But now, it was impossible for Han Yuan to issue an order. Not to mention that most of them had heard what Jiang Liushi had revealed.

'The Assault Team…as well as all his orders until now…' The tank fleet's Commander looked at Han Yuan strangely, his mind shrouded with doubts. It was obvious that Jiang Liushi was right. Han Yuan had not taken any measures about their safety. If Han Yuan had really been using them as meat shields to weaken the Black Hole, then Jiang Liushi killing him would be justifiable.
