Chapter 41 I Want to Kill Him
Seeing that Daqiang and the others had returned injured, the special forces members disliked Zhong Qi even more, finding him utterly disgusting.
Dang Hongyuan was not one to tolerate this and directly said sternly to Zhong Ling, "Captain Zhong, keep an eye on your own brother and don't let him cause trouble for others."
Zhong Qi was so angry that his face turned black, but he couldn't explain himself at all.
“Sorry, Dangdui, Archie, apologize to Dangdui and the others!” Her tone was serious, as if she were really scolding her younger brother.
But Zhong Qi didn't take it seriously and said dismissively, "I'm sorry."
"Let's not talk about that for now. Let's think about how to get through the tunnel." The man next to Dang Hongyuan glanced at Zhong Qi indifferently, then said coldly, "Daqiang and the others said that there are bats inside, and in extremely large numbers. The place where he was bitten by a bat has also become infected, and they have a certain degree of transmission."
Dang Hongyuan said seriously, "Bats are afraid of fire."
As he spoke, the person next to him picked up a walkie-talkie and said, "Each team should count the number of fire-type ability users."
Soon, the other teams reported their numbers.
There are 80 people at the Huaxia base, 15 of whom are fire-type ability users.
Base One has 15 people, 3 of whom are fire-type.
The Azure Dragon Base has 40 people, 8 of whom are fire-type.
Dang Hongyuan directly assigned positions to the fire-type ability users, asking them to do their part by blocking the bats' attack while passing through the tunnel, while the other personnel were to kill as many as they could, which would also serve as a cleanup.
"action."
The convoy sped toward the tunnel, sparks flying and lightning flashing along the way. Bats heard the noise and swarmed down, crashing into the vehicles.
Sui Cheng didn't use lightning-based abilities; instead, he used ice-based ones. Before the others could react, a dense barrage of ice spikes instantly rained down.
"As expected of a follower, his abilities are truly impressive."
A sigh came through the walkie-talkie, which Zhong Qi heard, making him even angrier and more furious.
Because he had used up too much of his superpower while scouting the way, he didn't use it this time. Looking at the superpowers of the people accompanying him, he felt even more resentful.
"Aqi." Zhong Ling held her younger brother's hand and said gently, "Didn't your sister teach you to stay calm in everything?"
Zhong Qi gritted his teeth and said, "If I had awakened earlier, I would definitely be stronger than him. Even Leng Tianrui, who is known as the strongest, is no match for me. How could someone ranked third be stronger than me? He is just more experienced."
“Our Archie is a genius, no one can compare to you, but don’t be so arrogant, especially in front of these seniors. If someone discovers your secret, your sister won’t be able to protect you.”
Zhong Qi's face changed drastically when he heard the word "secret," and he lowered his head, replying in a muffled voice, "I understand."
Outside the car window, where no one was watching, a vine about the thickness of a little finger quickly crawled under the car.
...
"I told you those two siblings were up to no good." Lu Zhi scoffed disdainfully after hearing the news from Teng Man.
The passenger glanced at him but didn't immediately ask what he knew.
They were still halfway through the tunnel when the number of bats attacking them decreased, but they did not let their guard down.
"The red dots on the explorer are decreasing; the crisis is temporarily over."
Dang Hongyuan's voice came through the walkie-talkie.
The teams gradually replied that they had received the message and then stopped their supernatural attacks.
As soon as Sui Cheng withdrew his hand, it was grabbed by Lü Zhi and then held tightly.
"Ouch, it's so cold." He said, pulling the other's hand down to his neck, and asked with a laugh, "Does your body temperature drop every time you use your ice-type ability?"
Sui Cheng nodded. Only excessive use of superpowers would affect body temperature. He saw Lu Zhi smile and had a bad feeling. But then, unexpectedly, Lu Zhi leaned close to his ear and whispered, "Is it cold inside during those times?"
"Smack!"
Lin Zhi and the others were startled by the sudden sound of a slap. They quickly turned around and saw Lu Zhi covering his slapped face, looking at their captain with teary eyes.
"..." Lin Zhi and the others exchanged a glance, then immediately turned their heads away, pretending they hadn't seen anything.
Lu Zhi rubbed her face, which didn't hurt much, and pretended to be in a lot of pain, tearfully accusing, "You hit me again! This is domestic violence! This is wrong!"
Lin Zhi, who had "accidentally" overheard the entire sentence, couldn't help but mentally complain, "Can you please stop being so coy! I'm rooting for the dominant one!!!"
Sui Cheng's lips twitched slightly. He hadn't exerted any force at all; he was just listening to the sound.
Seeing that he didn't speak, Lu Zhi reached out and hooked his finger. When he didn't react, Lu Zhi took it as acquiescence and became even bolder. He wrapped his hand around his back, put his arm around Sui Cheng's waist, and hooked his fingertips on his clothes.
"Doesn't it hurt?" The passenger glanced at him sideways, his face carrying a warning, as if to say, "If you move around again, get off the bus."
The red mark on Lu Zhi's face had disappeared. He lowered his head and rubbed against the shoulder of his attendant, and his hands stopped moving around.
"What did you just hear?" Only then did the attendant begin to ask him about Zhong Ling and her brother.
Lu Zhi leaned on his shoulder and said briefly, "Those two siblings are hiding secrets, especially the one named Zhong Qi. As for Zhong Ling, who's with the team, don't you think she's very scheming?"
Sui Cheng shook his head. He couldn't tell; he wasn't good at observing people anyway, so asking him was pointless.
Lu Zhi sighed and said, "Be more careful, my Captain Sui."
I'm really afraid that I'll be scammed if I ride with someone.
The attendant noticed what he was thinking and explained, "Those who lie to me only have one fate: to be killed by me."
The lawyer clicked his tongue and said, "That's your style."
"How about I find an opportunity to secretly..." Lu Zhi slit his throat, his meaning clear.
Sui Cheng shook his head: "No rush. This trip to the southwest will be very dangerous. Having him will give us more fighting power."
Lu Zhi scoffed coldly; he didn't care at all.
…
They had passed through the tunnel and were approaching Crescent Lake.
Crescent Lake isn't actually very big; you don't even need to cross the lake, you can just go around it from the road next to it.
The lake water was clear and still, reflecting the golden glow of the setting sun. In the middle of the lake was a collapsed pavilion, with only the roof remaining on the water. Beside it was a thin, withered tree trunk.
Ahead is the visitor center for the attraction, where visitors can stop and rest.
The most spacious area was the lobby inside the visitor center, where Dang Hongyuan ordered the reconnaissance team to search the area thoroughly.
The passengers had just unloaded the supplies from the vehicle when they were assigned a task and had to put them back.
As soon as Lu Zhi got out of the car, he felt the hateful gazes. He glanced in Zhong Qi's direction, then looked away, as if the man didn't exist.
But his indifferent attitude made Zhong Qi even angrier, feeling that he had been despised.
Lu Zhi stretched, then grabbed Sui Cheng's shoulder and whispered, "I really want to kill that brat."
"Bear with it." Sui Cheng narrowed his eyes. Given Zhong Qi's personality, he could kill himself without them having to lift a finger. Since that was the case, there was no need for them to make enemies.
