When Cheng Shaolin saw Shao Jie rushing over, he stepped back without saying a word.
Shao Jie swept through the crowd so fast that the other two were riddled with holes before they could even touch them.
And that was the end of it.
Aside from the four people lying on the ground and the group of onlookers, there were the Chaoyang Squad and the Kuangshi Squad standing face to face.
Shao Jie came running over in a flash, "How are you guys? Huh?"
He stared wide-eyed, scanning Cheng Shaolin and Li Xiao up and down. Only after confirming that nothing was wrong did he finally relax.
He then turned his gaze to the person lying on the ground, his eyes gradually turning cold.
"Xiaoxiao, what's going on? Who are these people?"
He pointed with his wooden gun at the people lying haphazardly on the ground, pursed his lips, and glanced at Zhang Kaisheng and his group opposite him.
Li Xiao had never seen such a complex expression on his face before; it seemed to be anger, hatred, and a bit of suppressed ferocity.
Facing Zhang Kaisheng, there was none of the warmth or nonchalance that had characterized their previous collaboration. Only anger and indifference remained after the betrayal.
"It's nothing. That woman stopped us and tried to use us to kill her, trying to sow discord among these idiots. She just didn't succeed and got killed instead."
Li Xiao spoke simply and casually, but little did he know how Shao Jie and the others felt after hearing it.
"What?!" Shao Jie was already furious about using Zheng Yongnian as a shield, but he never expected this woman to be even more shameless.
He no longer showed any leniency towards the Mad Lion Squad, and his gaze towards Zhang Kaisheng and the others was now icy cold.
Zhang Kaisheng heard it too, but he couldn't refute it.
That must be the truth. The bits and pieces I overheard along the way, pieced together, were pretty much what Li Xiao had said.
What Liu Dandan did was witnessed by other team members. Although I didn't see it myself, it's impossible that the other team members all saw it wrong.
The truth is that our own people were at fault, and it almost led to a major disaster.
It's understandable that they ignore it.
If I were in your shoes, I would get angry too.
The reason they didn't retaliate on the spot was because the situation was too critical.
There wasn't time to deal with Liu Dandan.
They wouldn't abandon their business just because of a small friendship.
All I can say is that Liu Dandan is an oddball.
They've already threatened to kill you, and you're still eagerly courting death. Who can you blame for that?
Zhang Kaisheng couldn't find any excuse at all.
Besides, if your own team members do something that damages their character and you don't say anything, what else can you say?
The meager friendship forged through past exchanges of interests has long since vanished with the passing winds.
Now they are familiar strangers.
The two sides stared at each other in silence. Some of the other members of the Mad Lion Squad were itching to make a move, but Zhang Kaisheng suppressed them with his eyes and prevented them from causing any trouble.
Actually, Li Xiao hoped that those people could do something.
Wouldn't that give us a perfect excuse to do something?
What a pity.
Li Xiao still felt a pang of regret. It seemed that the others couldn't hold back any longer, and Zhang Kaisheng's suppression had failed.
"Captain, you can still hold back? Now Dandan is dead. Dead!"
"Shut up, don't you know she's dead?" Zhang Kaisheng stopped him from saying anything more. Actually, it didn't matter whether he said it or not; everyone knew the truth.
Li Xiao chuckled. Was she trying to say that Liu Dandan was dead? Or perhaps it would be more accurate to say that the space ability user was gone.
Zhang Kaisheng's face was ashen. It would be one thing if anyone else died, but Liu Dandan's situation was more complicated.
That's why he didn't get any punishment for doing such disgusting things before.
Liu Dandan knew in her heart that she was fearless and understood that no matter what she did, the final result would be nothing more than being scolded, without any other substantial punishment.
This fostered her arrogant and disdainful personality.
She never expected that someone would dare to kill a spatial ability user, especially herself.
This is all because their team spoiled her, which fostered Liu Dandan's arrogant and domineering personality.
Zhang Kaisheng knew this in his heart, but Liu Dandan was a space ability user in his team, and many things in his team were in her space.
Now, it's all gone.
Ultimately, it's not Liu Dandan herself who I feel sorry for. It's the things in that space that I feel sorry for.
Thinking about this, Zhang Kaisheng felt a surge of frustration.
“Deputy Captain Cheng, we’ve worked together for a while. Look at this situation, it doesn’t look good for anyone.”
Cheng Shaolin's face was frosty; he merely lifted his eyelids without saying a word.
Seeing that Cheng Shaolin did not object, Zhang Kaisheng continued, "You killed the person I bought. Although she was indeed wrong at the time, it didn't cause any consequences, did it?"
"fart!"
Just as Zhang Kaisheng was about to continue speaking, Shao Jie suddenly shouted, startling Zhang Kaisheng so much that he stared wide-eyed and paused in his tracks.
Just as Zhang Kaisheng was about to reason with him, a voice interrupted, freezing him in place.
"Captain Zhang, think it over before you speak."
A clear, cool voice drifted lightly into my ears.
Zhang Kaisheng had been listening to this voice for over a month, so how could he not be familiar with it?
Zhang Kaisheng looked in the direction the sound came from and saw Yu Yanbin with his arms crossed, looking at him with a half-smile.
“…Captain Yu.” Zhang Kaisheng was a little speechless, feeling embarrassed that his thoughts had been laid bare.
"Captain Zhang, what are you saying? We've been together for so long, we all know what kind of people we are. We all know what happened back then. What's going on with this today? Do you have some other ideas?"
Yu Yanbin may look frail, but he's not someone you can easily manipulate.
Cheng Shaolin didn't want to waste his breath, and Yu Yanbin was someone who couldn't gain the upper hand with words.
A sense of pressure followed, and Zhang Kaisheng couldn't decide whether to say what he was going to say or not.
"Captain Yu, it's not that I have any particular thoughts. As you've seen, the space ability user in my team was killed. Needless to say, all our supplies are currently stored in the space ability user's space."
Zhang Kaisheng, seeing Yu Yanbin's ambiguous smile, found it hard to continue speaking.
The team members were still egging him on, and Zhang Kaisheng, as the team leader, had many things to consider.
Now that things have come to this, I need to give my teammates an explanation.
Without space, all the supplies inside are gone. We need to think about all of this carefully.
The lack of essential supplies is fatal.
Whoever has sufficient supplies now has more say.
Without supplies, survival itself is a problem.
This is why the team members are now so eager to find a way to mitigate the losses.
