Chapter 119: This farce should end.
Because it was witnessed by several people with special abilities at the time, the news of Liu Yang's mysterious death spread quickly in the safe zone, including the situation at the scene.
Even those who usually don't get along well with Team Two felt sad about this.
Then they began to speculate who had done it, and the first person to be suspected was Qi Shang, because he was the one who had recently had a conflict with Liu Yang.
But he was quickly ruled out. Apart from other reasons, his abilities were not up to par. He was not as strong as Liu Yang, and it was impossible for him to kill someone silently.
Moreover, looking at the scene, Liu Yang even sat and talked with the other party. Judging from the state that they are about to fight as soon as they meet, it is unlikely that they can be so harmonious.
The second person who deserves suspicion is Cheng Yuefeng.
And he is highly suspected, whether it is his supernatural powers, abilities, or even his motives, all fit the bill. The most trusted team member in the past has taken away his position as captain, and he may have more resentment than anyone else.
Some people even began to say that he might have been the first person to attack Liu Yang and Qi Shang. He staged and acted out this whole thing in order to frame other people with special abilities and eliminate dissidents.
Once the questioning begins and a reasonable reason can be found, it will be difficult to stop and the imagination will become more and more wild.
Cheng Yuefeng had no way to defend himself against this, or rather, there was nothing he could say. No one said anything in front of him, but that suspicious look pierced him like a thorn.
Didn't he tell others that he was not the one who killed Liu Yang? But no one asked him at all. If he took the initiative to speak, wouldn't it seem like he was trying to cover up his guilt?
But I feel really uncomfortable pretending to know nothing and facing these inexplicable doubts.
Especially after that, even Zhao Qi began to avoid him inexplicably. As a member of the second team, he always followed the actions of the first team.
Even Qi Shang tentatively asked him if he was so angry that he personally took care of Liu Yang.
Cheng Yuefeng immediately glared at him.
Qi Shang shrank his neck and felt quite aggrieved. The rumors in the district were getting more and more outrageous. He asked around and found out that some people said that it was a conspiracy between the two of them. His cousin killed people and he dealt with the bodies. It was too easy to bury a body with the earth-based supernatural power.
The initial gloating feeling after learning that Liu Yang was dead has now disappeared. They began to get annoyed that the other party was dead without knowing why. Couldn't they leave some clues to tell them who the murderer was!
Now, no matter whether they did it or not, the hat is temporarily on their heads and cannot be taken off or thrown away.
While they were being questioned, Liang Qun was sitting in front of the real culprit. He sighed and asked, "What did you do with Liu Yang's body?"
In front of him, Jiang Yan, who looked calm, smiled without saying a word and did not answer him.
Of course, it was burned cleanly by a fire. The strange blue flame did not even leave any ash. It disappeared completely as if it had never appeared.
Before burning, he wrapped it in a hollow water ball, and even the smell could not dissipate. No one knew that there was a "fire-type mutant" at the scene.
He didn't say anything because he didn't want him to know. Liang Qun didn't continue to ask, but he glanced at Lin Mian next to him with some suspicion. Could it be that he had been taken into the space by the other party?
The space of a person with super powers generally cannot store living things, but corpses are not alive.
Lin Mian didn't quite understand what his look meant and blinked in confusion.
Liang Qun smiled at him, retracted his gaze, and asked, "Did you leave the superpower core there on purpose?"
Jiang Jie still didn't say anything, but just raised his hands to support his temples.
Liang Qun took a deep breath and asked again, "Have you calculated that someone will suspect Cheng Yuefeng and the others?"
After all, they were the ones who had conflicts and contradictions with Liu Yang recently, so it was normal for them to be regarded as deliberate revenge.
This time Jiang Jie still did not answer. He lightly tapped his fingertips on his temples.
But he didn't say anything, but to Liang Qun, it seemed as if he had said everything. He couldn't help but sigh again and raised his hand to rub his head which was beginning to ache again.
Lin Mian looked at him and felt a little sorry for him.
Jiang Jie finally spoke up at this moment, "Isn't Cheng Yuefeng and the others having a hard time in the safe zone recently?"
Liang Qun put down his hand and nodded slightly wearily. "Many people with special abilities have doubts about him. They have come to me and said that they think that someone like him who can kill people at any time due to his emotions will be a hidden danger if he stays in the safe zone. They want me to expel him."
As to how many of them are truly for the sake of the safe zone and how many are due to personal grudges, that is another matter.
"It seems his popularity in the district is just so-so," Jiang Jie sneered, not as good at winning people's hearts as he would later. "How pitiful."
Liang Qun couldn't help but look up at him. Only those who wronged him knew how wronged he was.
He was really curious about what kind of deep hatred could make the other party torment Cheng Yuefeng like this.
But he knew that even if he asked, the other party would not tell him, so he could only be curious in his heart, "Mr. Jiang, Brother Jiang, I just want to ask, how long do you plan to play?"
"It won't be long," Jiang Jie reached out and rubbed Lin Mian's cheek, "I'm tired of staying here, let's finish it and leave as soon as possible."
Liang Qun was stunned when he heard him say that. Although the things the other party had done did give him a headache, he felt very safe staying here, especially after the other party had dealt with the A-level mutant alone last time.
Now that the other party suddenly said he wanted to leave, he was still a little at a loss.
Seeing his expression, Jiang Jie said, "Don't become too dependent on others. It will not be beneficial to your survival in the apocalypse."
Even if I wasn't there in the previous life, the two brothers and sisters had set up the safe zone very well, and it must have gone through a lot of trials and tribulations.
Sometimes you have to rely more on yourself, suffer a little along the way, and survive when you are on the verge of death, so that you can stand more firmly.
Liang Qun was stunned again when he heard this. After thinking about it, he smiled with relief, "Mr. Jiang is right."
It was because they had become more sensible recently that Jiang Jie was willing to remind the other party of this. He was indeed a smart man and could think things through on his own.
He didn't say anything more, only saying, "If you don't want the safe zone to be in chaos because of the series of deaths, send Cheng Yuefeng and Qi Shang out in the next two days."
What this meant was that the problem had to be solved outside the area. Liang Qun thought for a moment and said, "But Cheng Yuefeng and Qi Shang's injuries haven't healed yet. They're still recuperating. Isn't it a bit unreasonable to ask them to go out on a mission now?"
Jiang Jie raised his eyebrows slightly, "That's something you should consider. It doesn't matter where I solve it."
Liang Qun was choked by his words and was silent for a few seconds before saying, "Okay, I understand."
What can I do? It's my own fault for owing others money.
Seeing that he had no objection, Jiang Jie withdrew his gaze and lowered his eyes to look at Lin Mian who was sitting quietly beside him.
It's about time this farce ended.
*
Cheng Yuefeng received instructions from Liang Qun, asking him and Qi Shang to travel with Liang Nan in the next two days to search for supplies.
He was a little puzzled. Generally speaking, in order to ensure higher safety, wounded soldiers would not be sent out on missions.
In response to this, Liang Qun gave a reasonable explanation. They were all aware of the recent doubts in the district. No matter who the real murderer was, it would be better for the two of them to stay out of the spotlight until the matter was investigated.
Going out to search for supplies was just an excuse. They wouldn't be allowed to go too far, just to a few nearby cities, and the district chief would lead them personally.
After hearing what the other party said, Cheng Yuefeng and the others had nothing more to say and could only follow the instructions.
The next morning, they left the safe zone together with Liang Nan and Li Yuan, the only space-based ability user.
Sitting in the car, Qi Shang turned his head to look out the window. The temperature has been rising recently, and the outside is already green, which is more vibrant than the previous white.
I've been feeling a bit depressed in the safe zone recently, but now I feel a bit more relaxed. Although my leg injury hasn't recovered yet, I still feel that traveling is pretty good.
He turned to look at Cheng Yuefeng, who was resting with his eyes closed, and nudged him with his elbow, "Cousin, it's good to come out and relax."
Cheng Yuefeng opened his eyes and turned to look at him. What an idiot! They were not out here to relax, they were just here for a short-term "exile".
Liang Nan, who was sitting in the passenger seat with her arms crossed, looked up at them in the rearview mirror. Thinking of what her brother had said to her, she sighed inwardly. Why did she have to offend Jiang Jie when she could have offended anyone else?
Cheng Yuefeng turned his head and met her gaze in the mirror. He asked, "Is there something wrong, District Chief?"
Liang Nan shook his head and asked, "How are your injuries?"
"There's nothing serious at the moment." Cheng Yuefeng lifted his arm, which was still hanging in front of his chest. "It won't affect my movements."
Qi Shang also said: "The eyes are not a big problem now, but the injuries on the face and legs still need to recover."
The injury to his eyes probably only made him temporarily blind, so he recovered quickly. However, the burns on his face and legs were more serious.
"Okay, Qi Shang will be responsible for staying in the car during the operation. It won't be convenient for you." Liang Nan said in his heart, "tsk tsk" twice. It was really miserable.
Qi Shang had no objection to this arrangement. Although he was injured, it did not prevent him from using his supernatural powers. If there was any emergency, he could still give them a signal.
The car continued to move forward, and a familiar RV gradually appeared in the field of vision. It was parked on the side of the road, obviously waiting for them.
When Cheng Yuefeng noticed it, his heart suddenly skipped a beat. Why was Jiang Jie and his friends' RV here?
Li Yuan, who was driving, slowed down when approaching the RV, and finally stopped slowly in front of it. The front window of the car just happened to be in line with the RV. He reached out and pressed the button to lower all the windows.
The RV was quite high. Liang Nan put his hand on the window and stuck his head out. "Brother Jiang, have you been waiting long?"
Jiang Jie's arm casually rested on the car window as he replied, "Not long."
As he finished speaking, he turned his gaze back to look at the person appearing in the rear window.
Cheng Yuefeng met his gaze, pursed her lips, suppressed the inexplicable uneasiness in her heart, and smiled at him: "Senior, I haven't seen you recently. Are we going together this time?"
"Yes, Junior Brother Cheng," Jiang Jie looked at him, a smile gradually spreading across his face, "It just so happens that I've been bored lately, so let's go out for a walk together, it's more lively with more people."
"That's good," Cheng Yuefeng maintained a calm expression and continued, "With you here, our safety on this trip will be guaranteed."
"Don't worry," Jiang Yan glanced at Qi Shang beside him, then turned back to him, his deep eyes filled with a gentle smile, "I will definitely protect you."
Facing such an extremely friendly man, Cheng Yuefeng felt more and more creepy, even more so than when he looked at him with cold eyes before. At this moment, he felt his scalp tingling, and the chill rising up his back seemed to be clamoring for him to stay away from him.
Seeing the fear unconsciously revealed in his eyes, Jiang Jie tilted his head slightly. It was too late to run now.
