Chapter 557 Want to Die Clearly

"What news?"

"We have distinguished guests at our Beijing base, accompanied by a talking pig and a husky!"

After the eldest brother's reminder, the other seven people suddenly realized what was happening.

Oh no!

I've seen the look in his eyes, and he's a pig I can't afford to offend!

"Run!"

As he spoke, the older brother turned and ran!

Wu Tong sneered, "Trying to run? Too late!"

The eight thieves of the capital thought the three men on the electric scooter would make a move, but instead, they saw the pig raise its hoof, and a thick wall of ice instantly blocked their path.

The second brother asked incredulously, "Big brother, the news didn't say this pig has superpowers! What's going on?"

"How the hell should I know!"

My older brother is furious.

Today was truly an unlucky day. I spent most of the day selecting fat sheep—oops! fat pigs—but it turned out to be a distinguished guest from the capital, and not only that, this pig actually had superpowers, and special ones at that! It was even more awesome than all of them!

They even dared to lay a hand on this pig; it's like looking for shit in a toilet!

Wu Tong stepped forward, like a bullying pig harassing an innocent girl: "You like robbing, huh? I'll let you rob me, I'll let you rob me!"

The dense array of ice needles pierced directly at the Eight Thieves of the Capital.

The eight people wanted to resist, but they were all level four ability users, except for the eldest brother who was a level five water-type ability user. They were no match for Wu Tong, a special type ability user.

Moreover, Wu Tong is a dual-elemental ability user; it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say he could easily defeat him.

The Eight Thieves of the Capital didn't dare to retaliate too aggressively, since they were no match for them. Of course, even if they could have won, they wouldn't have dared.

They knew how important the distinguished guests who came to the base were. The weekly report had featured this event in every issue for the past few weeks, and it was even on the front page. If they really offended them, being kicked out of the base was a minor matter; they might even lose their lives.

Thinking of this, the eldest brother immediately knelt down: "Lord Pig, please spare us! This is the first time we've done this, really!"

"Who would believe that? You just said that the guards couldn't do anything to you."

"We were just bragging. The guards couldn't be bothered with us. We just robbed some supplies. We never took anyone's life."

The eldest brother said, glancing at the others with a look of disappointment: "What are you all standing there for? Quickly kneel down and apologize to our Master Pig."

"Don't call me Master Pig. Only my master deserves the title of Master."

The older brother quickly changed his tune: "Yes, yes, Brother Pig, I was wrong. I believe your master must be a person like a god!"

Since they didn't know whether the person was male or female, the eldest brother came up with the descriptive terms "immortal" or "god," which, by sheer chance, calmed Wu Tong's anger somewhat.

"You're right, my master is a god, not just like one!"

"Yes, yes, yes, Your Excellency is a god."

"It's my family member."

"Yes, yes, yes, your master is a god!"

Wu Tong's mood improved: "Then I won't do anything. You guys go and turn yourselves in to the guards and accept some punishment. If you don't turn yourselves in, you know what the consequences will be."

"Okay, okay, thank you, Brother Pig."

The eight thieves kowtowed repeatedly.

Wu Tong raised his pig's head, looking extremely arrogant.

Is this what it feels like to show off?

That was awesome!

Hearing the sound of electric bikes behind him, Wu Tong turned around and saw Pei Yi and the others riding away on electric bikes.

"Hey, young master, wait for me."

Wu Tong quickly chased after him, took a couple of steps, then turned back and said, "I will confirm this with Captain Luo Han."

The eight thieves, who had originally hoped to get away with it, immediately abandoned any other ideas upon hearing Luo Han's name: "We will definitely turn ourselves in, Brother Pig, don't worry."

In fact, they could also leave the Beijing base and go to other places.

But can any other place be as powerful as the capital base? And according to the flying ability users, many provincial capitals are suffering from natural disasters, while the capital is still quite safe, except for a powerful zombie king.

They must be mentally challenged to leave the Beijing base.

It's all my fault for not checking the almanac before going out today.

The Eight Thieves of the Capital thought this to themselves.

...

Pei Yi and the others hadn't returned by noon.

Ling Ran didn't wait for them and ate at the appointed time.

Zhuzhu is always very punctual for lunch.

I don't know where it ran off to, its fur was covered with leaves, and it had a pretty, unidentified wildflower in its mouth. It was squatting next to Ling Ran, its tail wagging like a propeller.

Ling Ran casually took the flower and handed it to Liu Xiuping next to her, then instructed one of them, "Someone take it downstairs, take a bath, and then eat."

Immediately, someone came up and took Zhuzhu away.

No one came back today, so Luo Han sat down next to Ling Ran, which was a rare occurrence. Looking at the dishes on the table that were comparable to a Manchu Han Imperial Feast, he still felt a little uncomfortable.

After all, he was a soldier and used to making do with what he ate. It wasn't that he didn't have money to eat, but rather that he didn't have time to eat properly.

He's been eating a lot of meat and fish these past two days with Ling Ran, and he's worried that when he goes back, his teammates will tease him about gaining weight.

I still need to train harder; at least I can't gain weight.

As Luo Han ate his meal, he felt somewhat ashamed. It seemed like he hadn't done anything during this time and had just come here to enjoy himself.

So he took the initiative to ask, "Sir, would you like to take a stroll around the Beijing base this afternoon? There are quite a few attractions in most of Beijing; we can walk around there."

"Okay, I'll just visit a few nearby attractions and come back tonight."

"Then I'll make the arrangements."

Hearing that he had something to do, Luo Han finally felt relieved.

After lunch, Ling Ran took her usual nap, but Luo Han didn't sleep. He stood guard outside Ling Ran's room, waiting for her to get up.

Liu Xiuping passed by and saw this, and whispered, "Captain Luo, you should go and rest. There's no need for you to stay here and guard."

"fine."

As the two were talking, Zhu Chen arrived. Realizing something was wrong, Luo Han quickly stepped forward. After they left Nongyu Zhu's place a bit, Luo Han asked him, "What's wrong?"

"The Eight Thieves of the Capital just surrendered. They tried to rob Young Master Pei and his group, trying to catch the master's pig."

Luo Han was furious upon hearing this: "The weekly report repeatedly emphasized this point, yet they still managed to make such a mistake! Did nothing happen?"

"No, it's said that Brother Pig forgave them and told them to come and turn themselves in."

"That's good."

Luo Han breathed a sigh of relief, but then asked, "Is it really that simple? You didn't have to come all the way here to tell me. What else happened?"

"It's Liu Yun. I don't know what triggered him, but he said he wants to have a friendly spar with you, sir."

Mentioning this, Luo Han rubbed his temples, feeling a headache coming on.

"Why doesn't he understand? Not letting him spar is for his own good. Putting aside everything else, just the spatial ability that the master demonstrated, capable of holding five thousand tons of supplies, is already at level seven or above. Even if he is a three-elemental ability user who can fight beyond his level, he might not necessarily win. Moreover, the master's methods go far beyond these."

Zhu Chen helplessly spread his hands: "I've already said all of that, but he said he wants to die knowing why."
