Chapter 521: Greed
The director's forehead was covered with fine sweat, and his Adam's apple rolled over: "No... We are just worried..."
Ji Changqing glanced at him coldly, and his ink-black eyes met the director's. The middle-aged man suddenly felt as if a thorn in his back and subconsciously shut his mouth.
The military commander of Shelter 307, who was standing nearby, immediately raised his hand and signaled, "Stop them."
"Great!" He Rui laughed angrily, "You guys are really worthless! My brother shouldn't have cooperated with you before! If it weren't for him, your shelters would have been destroyed long ago! What do you want to do now?
Lock my brother up? Kill my brother Ji? Or use him for experiments?!
The angrier he spoke, the more furious his voice became: "A bunch of ungrateful bastards! Now that you've had your fill, you turn around and harm your savior?!"
Amid He Rui's angry rebuke, the evolvers who were originally preparing to surround him looked at each other, hesitated, and didn't know what to do.
But there were still a few evolvers who remained unmoved and continued to approach them.
"It's for your own good that he stays." The commander remained calm. "Resilience is key. Are you willing to see him lose everything that made him so powerful? I see you're trying to stop him in every way. Are you happy for him to lose his strength? Do you want him to become weaker?"
"F**k?" He Rui cursed and said to the people around him, "This bastard is trying to alienate us."
He turned around and continued to scold the unknown leader, "Stop talking nonsense here, you're talking so nicely! As if it's all for my brother Ji's good. Do you really have the ability to restore someone who has lost their abilities?
Are there any cases? Are there any precedents?"
The commander's expression changed slightly, and He Rui continued, "So his opinion doesn't matter?! Why should I listen to you? Who the hell do you think you are?"
"That's enough! I'm not going to waste my time talking to you," the commander lost his patience and ordered coldly, "Separate them and treat the hero first."
He Rui was completely enraged.
He protected Ji Changqing behind him, raised his hand and pointed directly at the commander, his voice instantly spreading throughout the shelter through his ability: "Damn shelter! My brother Ji lost his ability because of you, and now you're taking advantage of my misfortune and putting the hero who helped you under house arrest? You want to squeeze every last bit of value out of my brother, right? You're so ungrateful! Worse than a beast!"
His voice was filled with uncontrollable anger, and every word seemed to be squeezed out from between his teeth, his voice trembling uncontrollably. "I didn't expect you to help me in my time of need, but I didn't expect you from the shelter to actually come up and step on me?! You bastards!"
Before he finished speaking, He Rui suddenly activated his ability.
The invisible sound waves spread like a tide, accurately avoiding Ji Changqing and enveloping everyone around him.
In an instant, groans of pain rang out one after another. People held their heads and could not stand steadily. Some knelt on the ground. Even the commander bent over in pain.
He Rui took the opportunity to carry Ji Changqing on his back and ran out from the gap between the people who were struggling in pain.
The speed was as fast as a car, and after half an hour it was already dozens of kilometers away from the shelter.
In an abandoned shopping mall, He Rui finally stopped and withdrew the BGM sonic attack covering everyone in the giant shelter.
He was gasping for breath, his heart beating wildly from overusing his abilities, and his vision was blacking out.
Ji Changqing immediately held him in his arms, and the warm healing power covered him and slowly operated.
"It's so infuriating!" He Rui recovered his breath, but was still indignant.
While what the other party said did have some truth to it, this kind of "doing it for your own good" without regard for the patient's wishes is essentially a form of violence. One day they can force "treatment," and tomorrow they can slice up his brother for research in the name of "righteousness."
He didn't expect that the show had just begun and someone couldn't help but treat his brother like this.
If Brother Ji still had the ability, who would dare to do this? It was simply because he felt that Brother Ji had "lost his power" that he dared to act so recklessly.
As night falls, the cold moonlight shines through the broken windows of the corridor, casting a cool hue on the handsome eyebrows and eyes of the man beside her.
Without the bloody color of the daytime or the warm light ball, Ji Changqing at this moment has a bit more inhuman coldness.
He Rui couldn't help but stare at it for a moment, and it took him a while to come back to his senses.
He asked nervously, "If I act impulsively like this and offend all five shelters...will their attitude get even worse?"
Will all the good things you did before be canceled out because of me, and will you become a dangerous person?"
Ji Changqing shook his head gently. "There's no need to pay attention to their thoughts. Besides..." He raised the corners of his lips slightly, his eyes smiling. "They are mostly regretting it now. They probably didn't expect you to be so powerful. The entire shelter is no match for you."
He reached out and stroked He Rui's cheek: "This is reality. They only respect you when you have a territory. When you lose your ability, they become strong and want to oppress others with force. But..."
His voice was gentle, "Luckily, Ruirui protected me and was able to bring me out of the shelter with tens of thousands of people."
He Rui's ears burned with praise. He unconsciously straightened his back, pinched his waist, and raised his chin proudly, "Hehe! Isn't that amazing!"
"Ruirui is so awesome." Ji Changqing suddenly said in a sticky voice, while leaning over and hugging him.
He Rui was caught off guard by the kiss. He blushed and quickly kissed back, then quickly separated and continued talking about business, "Has no one discovered our location?"
