Chapter 204: A Sure-Death Situation
Translator: Simple MTL Editor: Simple MTL
Underground of Wangdu City.
In the brightly-lit lobby.
The fireballs that Duan Ye had gathered gradually disappeared.
What was left were balls of mist-like Qi waves that were still rotating slowly in the light circle.
Through the blurry mist, Zhang Tie stood still and stared at Zhang Gang with a stiff body as he said in a quivering voice, “What… What are you doing…”
“Isn’t it obvious?” Zhang Gang opened his hands and said expressionlessly, “As you can see, I’m sorry, I’m a spy.”
“You’ve joined the Fair Association…” Zhang Tie became absent-minded.
“I joined a long time ago.” Lowering his head, Zhang Gang glanced at Duan Ye who was fainting under his feet, Zhang Gang said coldly, “I really don’t want to expose my identity. I’ve given you many chances to give up this task. However, since you insist on seeking death, I have to do it.”
“Impossible… This is not you.”
“Whatever. Who I am is up to you.”
Ignoring Zhang Tie’s ‘retarded’ words, Zhang Gang raised his head and looked towards the north entrance of the lobby. “You’re too slow. You’re only here now.”
Chen Yu and the others immediately turned around.
They saw a group of fighters on the second floor of the lobby.
A man and a woman were standing at the front.
Seeing them, Zhang Yanyan was terrified. “It’s those two Level 4 fighters!”
The Level 4 fighter looked at Zhang Gang and said calmly, “You’ve been exposed.”
“Your efficiency is so low. How can I not be exposed? If I don’t act now, these people will leave.” Zhang Gang was inexplicably annoyed. “A group of pig teammates.”
“It doesn’t matter.” The male fighter waved his hand as he looked at Chen Yu and the others. “Get rid of them. You can go back and continue to be an undercover agent.”
“Are you bullshitting me? With so many people dead, how could I escape from the enforcers of the school?”
“Then it has nothing to do with me…”
Seeing his elder brother talking to the head of the Fair Association with his own eyes, Zhang Tie finally broke all his illusions as his eyes gradually turned red. “Zhang Gang… How did you become like this?”
“Like what? I’ve always been like this.”
“Why did you join the Fair Association?” Zhang Tie suddenly roared, “What the f*ck are you doing?! Are you worthy of your dead parents?”
“Don’t mention them to me!” Zhang Gang roared back, “Are you worthy of them? Staying in that sh*t school and being treated as slaves by a group of so-called elites, are you worthy of your parents?!”
“…Zhang Gang… Is this what a security officer like you should say… You’re crazy…”
“Let me tell you, Zhang Tie.” Zhang Gang tore off the button of his jacket. His muscles bulged. “I’m the only one in our family who’s not crazy. All of you idiots have been brainwashed and are willing to follow the trend of others. Will there be a good ending? No! Any security officer will die in the end!”
“Will you have a good ending after joining the Fair Association?”
“Maybe not. But I’m willing to do that. I’m sacrificing myself for fairness.” Zhang Gang pointed at Chen Yu, Bahuang Yao, and Zhang Yanyan. “Not for these idiots.”
“Your so-called fairness is to drive exotic beasts to attack humans?” Zhang Tie forcefully suppressed his fury.
“It was done by the black-clothed sect. It has nothing to do with me, and I didn’t know about it. Besides, is the tunnel leading to Treasure City just for transporting exotic beasts? Can’t it be used for exchanging materials?”
Glancing at the fighters on the second floor, Zhang Gang said coldly, “Our white-clothed sect will investigate it after the event. Now, don’t talk about this topic with me. I just want to ask you something.”
“What?”
“I’ll give you a chance to join the Fair Association.”
Hearing this, Zhang Tie clenched his fists. “Do you think I will be like you? Instead of being a good person, I will become a dog?”
“You think I’m a dog, but I think you’re even worse than a dog.”
Since they didn’t get along, Zhang Gang didn’t want to waste any more time.
He knew his younger brother too well. His brain was completely dead and he could not be persuaded at all.
Bang!
After releasing a Level 4 storm of Qi, Zhang Gang’s eyes flashed with a sorrowful killing intent as he stomped his feet and rushed towards Zhang Tie.
“Battle Skill — Breaking Punch!”
Like a rainbow piercing through the sun, Zhang Gang jumped up high. In the air, he suddenly changed his direction and smashed towards Zhang Tie from the top down.
Zhang Tie’s eyes almost popped out of his sockets as he pushed his Qi to the extreme and raised his fists to block it.
Boom, boom, boom…
The huge force crisscrossed and spread out a circle of visible shock wave.
The ground instantly collapsed!
Zhang Tie was forcefully smashed into the dungeon on the lower floor of the lobby.
After withdrawing his fist and shaking off the bloodstains on his joints, Zhang Gang looked at the people on the second floor and said, “Those b*stards, I’ll leave them to you. Be careful, they’re all very powerful. Don’t fail.”
“Alright.” The Level 4 male martial artist nodded. “You deal with your brother. Leave them to me.”
“Also.” Zhang Gang extended his hand and pointed at Chen Yu. “Pay attention to his sword. It’s very sharp.”
“Alright.”
After giving his instructions, Zhang Gang directly jumped down from the dungeon.
Not long after, a series of explosions came from inside.
Above, the Fair Association martial artists also began to move. They jumped down one after another and surrounded Chen Yu and the others in the middle.
“Ah…” Chen Yu sighed in pain. “This is troublesome.”
“Brother Yu, what do we do now?” Bahuang Yao’s small face was solemn as she protected Duan Ye who had fainted.
“Wait a moment.” Lifting the female student who was lying on the ground behind him, Chen Yu suddenly swung his hand and threw her to the second floor. “Let’s go.”
“Ah!”
The female student screamed in fear.
Her body drew an arc in the air…
Bang.
She fell hard on the wall. Then she landed on the platform and did not move.
Seeing this, the warriors of the Fair Association did not care.
After all, a disabled person who could not use force could be dealt with later.
Placing the sword in front of him, Chen Yu moved step by step to the side of Bahuang Yao and Zhang Yanyan. lowering his voice, Chen Yu said, “Two Level 4’s and many Level 3’s. Additionally, in the dungeon, Elder Brother Tie definitely can’t match that mole. Therefore, this is a sure-defeat situation. If necessary, you can surrender. Your life is more important.”
“…Hmm.” Glancing at Duan Ye on the ground, Bahuang Yao nodded with a complex look.
“Elder Brother Yu… I’m sorry.” Zhang Yanyan’s lips turned white. “It’s my fault. I… I didn’t know that our security officer was…”
“No need to say that. A safety officer who has been working for dozens of years is a traitor. Nobody could guess it unless standing in the perspective of God.” Chen Yu waved his hand, “Additionally, because of his relationship with Zhang Tie, I always thought that they were fighting due to family matters.”
“I’m sorry…”
Ignoring Zhang Yanyan’s words, Chen Yu rapidly thought about countermeasures.
‘Two Level 4 fighters.’
‘At least ten Level 3 fighters.’
‘Even if I activate the Self-Destruction Immovable Body Explosion, it would be hard to see an immediate effect…’
‘…’
‘No…’
‘It’s a sure-death situation…’
“Brother Yu!”
Just as Chen Yu was thinking, Bahuang Yao suddenly shouted, “They’re charging over!”
After coming back to his senses, Chen Yu immediately raised his long sword and said solemnly, “Remember what I said. If you find that you can’t win, surrender immediately! I’ll think of a way later…”
“Kill.”
Before he could finish his words, the Level 4 male warrior who was the leader of the Fair Association ordered coldly, “Kill all of them. Leave no one alive. Avenge your dead brothers.”
“Yes!” × 34
Bahuang Yao: “…”
Zhang Yanyan: “…”
Chen Yu: “…”
…
“…”
Boom!
Boom…
Wave after wave of impact spread out like water ripples.
The cell collapsed and the wall was broken.
The entire cell was covered with dense dust. Only the flickering light of the Qi could barely see the two figures fighting each other.
Dong! Dong, dong, dong…
After breaking through the defense with a series of punches, Zhang Gang grabbed Zhang Tie’s hair and forcefully knocked his face against his knee.
Dong!
His nose started to bleed.
Under the heavy blow, Zhang Tie’s burning Qi became absent-minded for a short while.
“Don’t struggle anymore.”
After forcefully pushing Zhang Tie against the wall, Zhang Gang said in a low voice, “Not to mention that your Qi level is lower than mine, even if your Qi level is higher than mine, you can’t defeat me by yourself. Now, there’s no one else here. I’ll give you one last chance to join the Fair Association.”
“Tui.”
Zhang Tie spat out a mouthful of blood. “I’m a glorified safety officer. How could I join forces with you?”
“You won’t be a safety officer any time soon.” Zhang Gang pointed at the top. “Two are Level 4 and 12 are Level 3. Is there any hope for those students? Soon, you will see their corpses.”
“…Don’t be like this.”
After a moment of silence, Zhang Tie’s resentful eyes gradually softened as he begged, “They can’t die. As long as you turn back, there will be hope for everything.”
“What hope?” Zhang Gang remained expressionless. “Continue to serve those elites until they die in battle? Is this hope?”
“They are still children. Your hatred for the society can not guarantee revenge on them.”
“Heh, coincidentally, I hate these children.” Zhang Gang raised his head. “Let me tell you the truth. At least 15 safety officers from the two schools of Beijing University and Qing University have joined the Fair Association.”
“Impossible!”
“Don’t worry, there will only be more, not less.” Zhang Gang said faintly, “Do you know why?”
“…Why?”
“To live.”
Zhang Gang moved closer to Zhang Tie’s ear, “The safety personnel who joined the Fair Association just want to survive in the hands of those b*stards.”
After releasing Zhang Tie’s hair, he pointed at the top and continued, “Us safety personnel are extremely terrifying, the so-called top scholars and elites. Our minds are full of fantasy and don’t know how to write the word ‘death’.”
“Take me for example. From the day I became a security guard, I reminded them repeatedly not to do dangerous tasks, but to act according to their ability.”
“But what about them? Because of the security officers, they are greedy and unscrupulous.” Zhang Gang gnashed his teeth. “Security officers are also human, and they are also afraid of death. Why should they use my life to insure these students?”
“Any mission, the risk is fluctuating. The more difficult the mission is, the easier it is for sudden changes to occur in the later stages. Because of these selfish elites, batches and batches of safety officers die every year.”
“We become nutrients.”
“Do you know that we become nutrients?”
Zhang Gang’s voice became louder and louder. He gradually became hysterical. “Using our lives to increase the knowledge of the elites, temper the will of the elites, and increase the strength of the elites… Anyway, for the elites, if one safety officer dies, another one will come immediately.”
“When they are in their third year, they will be able to kick us away when they have reached a higher level. You have experienced this many times, haven’t you?”
“I just want to ask…”
“Why?”
Zhang Gang pinched Zhang Tie’s mouth, “Tell me, why?”
Zhang Tie remained silent, “…”
“You can’t answer me? Let me tell you. With our limited talent, we are only at Level 3 or Level 4. Of course, we will make use of the waste and pour water on those top talents.”
“…This is our duty. This is what we should do.” Zhang Tie’s voice was hoarse.
“Don’t f*cking fart, if I tell the school to resign now, what will the consequences be?! This is not a duty, this is a dog rope, understand?” Zhang Gang roared, “Why should we die?”
“If there were no security personnel, you would have long died.” Zhang Tie clenched his fists and retorted, “Back then, you were also determined to accept high-difficulty missions, so mother sacrificed herself to protect you.”
“F*ck!”
After saying this, Zhang Gang seemed to have gone mad. He suddenly punched his own face. With the flow of his blood, his face became grim. “Yes! It was because of me that Mom died. Therefore, I hated her even more! Why did they need security officers? Why did such a thing exist? Idiots should not accept protection, understand? Especially idiots like me. Can’t we just let them die?!”
Zhang Tie: “…You’re crazy.”
“I’m not crazy.” Zhang Gang grabbed Zhang Tie’s bloody collar, “If I really went crazy, I would go to the school and kill all the students in their dorms one by one, leaving none alive. Let the higher-ups see how stupid the security system is! Let them see the resistance of the lower-class people!”
Zhang Tie lamented, “…Brother, you’re really crazy.”
“I’m not crazy! F*ck you!” Zhang Gang opened his mouth wide as he roared at the top of his lungs. He exerted so much strength that even blood spurted out of his throat.
Boom!
Boom!
Zhang Gang went crazy. He waved his fists and punched the surrounding walls randomly, smashing pieces of concrete one after another with his head.
Tears mixed with fresh blood flowed, “I’m not crazy… Why…”
“Why do I need a safety officer…”
“Why do I need to be saved…”
“Why do I live in such a world…”
“Who can tell me why…”
Waving his fists, Zhang Gang knelt on the ground and wailed loudly.
The dust became darker and darker as if it was going to drag him into the deepest soil.
Leaning against the wall, Zhang Tie also kept flowing muddy tears.
‘Who made such a gentle elder brother…’
‘Was it his dead mother?’
‘Or did he hate his father?’
‘Or… more…’
After a long time, Zhang Gang was tired. He stood up shakily and lay on Zhang Tie’s body as he said in a hoarse voice, “I have nothing now.”
“You’re the only one left.”
“Therefore, I will give you one last chance.”
“Join the Fair Association…”
“Brother… Please…”
…
In the dungeon.
After hearing the order of “Kill all of them” from the Level 4 fighters, Chen Yu’s heart instantly sank.
The other party wanted to kill them all.
Then there was no way out..
“Brother Yu…” Bahuang Yao looked at Chen Yu with her cherry lips slightly opened. “Run. You’re fast. If I give you the rear end, you will definitely escape.”
“Just right.” Chen Yu was stunned, and he patted the girl’s head. “That’s what I wanted to say. Run, I can last longer. Bring Duan Ye and run.”
“…”
The girl was silent for a moment, and her hands suddenly clutched her shoulders.
Chen Yu’s pupils constricted. “What are you doing?!”
Rip…
Bahuang Yao’s hands tore down viciously!
Along with the sound of fabric, muscles, blood vessels, and skin being torn apart at the same time. Ten deep wounds appeared on her fascia.
Blood seemed to flow freely.
The intense pain continued to stimulate the adrenaline and stress response in the girl’s body.
Bang!
Her talent was activated!
The surging force instantly rose to Level 1.6.
Then, in a flash, she bit off her own tongue.
1.7…
1.8…
1.9…
Boom!
The air billowed as the girl broke through to Level 2.
Her long red hair became more and more vibrant.
Her eyes were also filled with blood.
“This… This is the Bahuang Clan!”
The Level 4 warrior of the Fair Association was shocked. “She’s from the Bahuang Clan!”
“Brother Yu, go…” The girl’s body gradually floated as she turned around to look at Chen Yu. Her beautiful eyes seemed to contain a myriad of emotions. “Take Brother Ye and leave.”
After saying this, she charged towards the two Level 4 martial artists without hesitation….
