Chapter 450 Questioning
Fei Tong felt something was wrong and tried his best to twist and adjust his body in mid-air, but before he could fully control it, a figure flashed in front of him and another punch came at him.
With a bang, he flew backwards at an even faster speed and hit the wall of the open corridor behind him, creating a huge dent in the back, and pieces of wall and bricks and stones fell down with a crash.
Relying on his strong body now protected by limbs, he straightened up, roared wildly, and was about to fight back, but Chen Chuanxia had already kicked him in the cheek.
This kick was still full of power, and still carried an upward force, and his body flew into the air involuntarily.
At this moment, he saw Chen Chuanzheng below looking up at him, his eyes full of deep calmness. Then his figure suddenly enlarged in front of him. His hair stood on end and he quickly clasped his arms together to block the way ahead.
Then a fist came crashing down, and with two crackling sounds, his arm broke, and then his whole body was blasted into the ceiling behind him by the force.
After Chen Chuan had exerted all his strength, his figure fell from above, and his feet just touched the ground. His center of gravity pressed down, and after a moment he jumped up again, and hit Fei Tong's chest and abdomen with a knee. The latter's eyeballs suddenly bulged out, and a stream of liquid and blood spurted out of his mouth.
When he was in the air, he grabbed the limbs on its body, and then slammed it in the face as he landed. After it landed, he punched it out.
With a thunderous sound, a big hole appeared directly in Fei Tong's chest. The limbs and tentacles wrapped around it as well as the bones and internal organs inside exploded together, and the blood that the limbs sucked in and had not been fully digested also spread outwards, splashing all over the ground.
This punch directly created a hole in its body. Although the injury was slowly repaired by the wriggling limbs, it was unable to move for a while.
Seeing that his eyes had rolled back, Chen Chuan retracted his fist, which was covered in white mist, and stood up straight. He then nodded to the lower realm and informed Yuan Qiyuan and Qin Qingque, "Come back, I have found the real culprit."
At this time, he glanced around and seemed to have discovered something. He squatted down, fumbled around his ear, and then pulled something out from the wall.
This is a bug with two long and thin tentacles, which seems to be able to change shape at will when pinched in the hand.
He immediately recognized that this was a strange creature in the Land of Fusion, the onomatopoeia. As long as one established a mental connection with this insect, one could imitate any sound that the insect had come into contact with.
It seems that the noises that appeared yesterday were made by this insect. No wonder there was no sign of emptiness in the second me from beginning to end. At this time, his eyes turned and he stretched out his hand to grab Fei Tong's dagger. However, when he picked it up, the latter seemed unwilling to let go. He pulled it down again.
Then he took off the silver-white scabbard, stood up, put the sword back into the scabbard, and hung it around his waist.
Five or six minutes later, Yuan Qiyuan and Qin Qingque appeared in the aisle. They were shocked when they saw Fei Tong lying on the ground, because this person's skin and limbs were very similar to the Iron Demon's corpse at that time.
Chen Chuan said, "This is Fei Tong, the garrison commander of Fort 285. He's the one who caused this."
Yuan Qiyuan looked at Fei Tong with wide eyes, "So this guy is the one behind this? I thought it was this guy who was causing trouble. It's hard to guard against an insider."
Chen Chuan asked, "Did you find anything outside just now?"
Qin Qingque saluted and said, "Captain, no results found."
Chen Chuan nodded. He had previously asked two people to go outside and check to make sure this person had accomplices. Now it seemed that he was the only one.
Although there are still some questions about this matter, as long as the culprit is caught, the rest can be figured out.
He said, "Send a message to the station."
Two days later, a transport airship arrived over the fortress, and more than a hundred soldiers came down from it. They quickly took over the entire fortress.
The leading officer shook hands with Chen Chuan and said, "Captain Chen, Commander Qiao received your telegram and heard that you captured Fei Tong alive. He takes this very seriously and hopes you can bring him back as soon as possible, so he's letting you return by airship this time."
Chen Chuan acknowledged the request, turned around and greeted everyone, and half an hour later, he brought all the team members onto the airship.
After a while, with the manipulation of the airship pilot, the airship was lifted off the ground and gradually rose into the sky.
It was Yuan Qiyuan's first time to ride this, and it looked quite novel. He had always been on the ground before, but now looking down from the air, everything changed from a different perspective. It was an experience he had never had before.
Like him, many team members gathered around the tilted porthole, looking down and talking.
They were all very happy at this time, because they originally thought that they would have to spend the New Year away from home this time, but the captain was strong enough and quickly resolved the matter. In this way, they would not have to carry out missions after returning. Not only could they have some vacation time, but after signing the confidentiality agreement, they would also have a great chance of going home for the New Year.
After watching for a while, Chen Chuan came to the cabin where Fei Tong was imprisoned. Although he was seriously injured, he also interrupted the process of him being swallowed by the alienated tissue. Now his blood and energy are exhausted and it is almost impossible to recover, but the strong vitality of the third limit still allows him to survive tenaciously.
When he walked in, he was looking upwards, not knowing what he was thinking.
He asked the guards here to leave. The two soldiers saluted him and retreated, closing the hatch before leaving.
Chen Chuan came to the side, sat down and asked, "Why did you do this?"
After a while, Fei Tong turned his gaze and said, "Because I have no choice."
"No choice?"
Fei Tong chuckled, "I'm thirty-nine years old this year, but like you, Captain Chen, I achieved the third limit at this age. At that time, I was a young hero that everyone admired, and many people praised me. I had only been here for half a year, but I was promoted to a second-level executive and became the garrison commander of a fortress.
But you see, I am still on guard.
Haha, it’s been twenty years.
The job rank is fine, but I still haven't been able to find a way to move up. There really is no chance at all.
What reason do you want to ask?
I was young and full of ambition at that time. I thought that my strength alone was enough and I didn't need to care about anything else. It was at that time that I accidentally offended someone.
I later learned that this person had a very deep background in the Ministry of Defense, and since then I have been ostracized and suppressed by him.
Every time I went on a mission, it always took a long time before they issued me the special medicine. And every time I was almost ready to practice, I had to go on another mission, and then it was another long time. Two years, two whole years, I was dragged on like this."
When he said this, he gritted his teeth and said, "These past two years should have been the time when I could grow the most. My strength should have increased by leaps and bounds, but they held me back. And this person was exerting so much force that I couldn't retreat even if I wanted to.
After missing this period of time, no matter how hard I tried, my strength didn't grow as fast as before, and I was always assigned to the front line of regional development.
Opening up new territory has always been the hardest, most tiring, and most dangerous job, but it's always my turn."
He sneered and said, "I know this guy hasn't forgotten me. He just wants to pin me down, to crush me to death, and not give me any chance to stand up or take revenge on him. It would be best if I died in the pioneering operation!"
Endless hatred blazed in his eyes. "I hate those who participated in suppressing me, so I want revenge on them. But I'm powerless alone. Moreover, twenty years have passed, and this person has risen higher and higher in position. I have no connections, no relationships, so there's no way I can do anything to him."
He chuckled twice. "What they didn't expect was that I've always been at the forefront of development, often interacting with people from the old imperial family. After I repeatedly expressed my desire to contact them, I finally got in touch with the Iron Demon, and he was willing to show me a way forward."
Chen Chuan said: "It seems that my guess was correct."
Fei Tong snorted and said in a mocking tone: "Seeing you, I think of myself back then, just as high-spirited and ambitious, just as promising, but so what?
The path to advancement is controlled by certain people. If they value you, you might still have a chance, but if you don't follow their wishes and offend them, you won't be able to move forward at all."
Chen Chuan could tell that he was filled with resentment and hatred. He looked at Fei Tong and said calmly, "You said they wronged you and didn't take you seriously, but did you ever take those more than a hundred colleagues you killed seriously?
When you brought this up, you didn't even think about them, as if they were just weeds by the roadside, destined to be trampled under your feet. Because in your heart, they are all people who can be easily expended and discarded. In this way, what is the difference between you and those you hate?
Fei Tong's expression changed slightly, and then he looked ferocious, "What do you know? What do you know? How can they compare to me? I am a person with natural talent, a fighter! I should have gone further! And what about them?
They are just a bunch of mediocre people. There are countless people like them. But I, Fei Tong, have made achievements in the past twenty years. How can they compare with them? How can they compare with them?!"
Chen Chuanshuo said: "You naturally think that your colleagues are useless and can be easily discarded. But in the eyes of those who suppress you, suppressing you is also natural, because in their eyes, you are also worthless.
You all treat those weaker than you with a condescending attitude. In reality, you and those you hate are essentially the same. It's just that you don't like being the oppressed, and you prefer to be the oppressor."
Fei Tong seemed to be hurt by his poke. He trembled all over, his face flushed red, and roared angrily: "What do you know, what do you know?!"
Chen Chuan didn't argue with him. Instead, he looked at him calmly and said, "If you had dealt with those who you claim were persecuting you, I would have looked up to you. But you chose to draw your sword and swing it at the weaker ones. In the final analysis, you have always been nothing but a loser."
After saying this, he had no interest in staying here any longer. He stood up and walked out amid Fei Tong's unwilling and venting roar.
