Yan Wusheng roared furiously, grabbing Lei Yong by the collar, "Why are you such a coward now! Aren't you even a little angry that Fatty is dead?!"

"I said, that's enough!!!"

*Smack!*

Lei Yong slapped Yan Wusheng across the face with a backhand motion. As the sound of metal hitting the floor rang out, the mask covering half of Yan Wusheng's face fell off.

A trickle of blood flowed from the corner of his mouth. Yan Wusheng slowly turned his head, revealing a face half-burned and eyes filled with bloodshot veins.

"team leader……"

Qian Lan trembled as she stepped forward to help Yan Wusheng, staring at Lei Yong in disbelief.

An Neng grabbed Lei Yong and said, "Calm down, Captain!"

"Oh no! What happened?! Don't do anything!"

Xiao Liu quickly got up from the ground and stood between the two, helplessly trying to persuade them not to move.

The robot, its face also covered in exclamation marks, stood anxiously to the side, unsure of what to do.

Even Han Xiaoxiao frowned.

"Yan Wusheng!" Lei Yong said, enunciating each word clearly. "Nangong Wu is already dead, and there's nothing I can do about it. Even if we were to retrieve his body now, it would be impossible!"

Han Xiaoxiao and Xiao Liu were both shocked. Nangong Wu... was dead?

"Give me a moment to calm down and think about it!"

"Lei Yong..." Yan Wusheng gritted his teeth and addressed Lei Yong by his full name.

"I always thought you were a great captain who stood tall and shouldered the fate of all humanity..."

"But now... you're a coward!"

"Yan Wusheng!" Han Xiaoxiao coldly stopped him, "Don't go too far!"

Yan Wusheng's chest heaved violently as he clenched his fists so tightly they cracked as he looked at his former teammates.

He suddenly reached into his pocket and pulled out his Night Star ID.

"Fine, if you can't even avenge your own teammates, then I'd rather not be a Night Star here!!"

After saying that, he threw the documents in his hand hard on the ground.

"Hey...you're not serious, are you?"

Xiao Liu stared at the scene in astonishment, his face filled with disbelief.

Yan Wusheng shoved Qian Lan's hand away, bent down to pick up the mask from the ground, put it back on, and walked out the door without looking back.

"Yan Wusheng!"

"Don't actually leave, you noisy bird!"

Qian Lan and Xiao Liu called out from behind, but the other party didn't stop at all. They pushed open the door, slammed it shut, and left.

Lei Yong stood quietly in place, clenching his fists without saying a word.

A deathly silence fell over the scene.

After an unknown amount of time, Wang Canxin wiped the water droplets from his glasses, slowly stood up, and left.

"Thank you for the escort provided by the special extermination team along the way. I will inform the other high-ranking officers about the underwater world and devise a response plan."

"Please tell me the exact location when the time comes, Captain Lei Yong."

Just as he was about to leave, he stopped, turned around and said to everyone:

"If Yan Wusheng hasn't changed his mind by a week, I will remove his Night Star identity from the records."

After saying that, he left, out of everyone's sight.
