Chapter 179 Death of a Mercenary
Before Gao Yang could relax his slightly frowned brows, his thoughts were suddenly interrupted by Qiao Yu's words.
Gao Yang came back to his senses and smiled, "No. I was just wondering... the Vulture team members are all very strong, why did they suddenly..."
Qiao Yu narrowed his eyes slightly. "Captain Gao, do you mean to say... that you suspect we deliberately killed the Vulture team members to steal their credit?"
"No, no, no..." Gao Yang waved his hands. Although he looked apprehensive, his words were tinged with doubt. "I just think the Pendulum is truly amazing. Even a team like the Vultures lost members there, yet you managed to escape unscathed with five researchers..."
"It's really admirable! I admire it!"
Qiao Yu scoffed at the words, "Of course. After all, there are only five of us. If we lose five members at once like Shengshi Dynasty did, we'll be wiped out."
The sarcasm on Qiao Yu's face was too obvious, he was just about to point at Gao Yang's nose and scold him for being useless.
"you!"
Gao Yang was so angry that his face turned blue and red, but he couldn't refute.
But Qiao Yu still felt unsatisfied. He snorted coldly and continued to mock mercilessly, "As for stealing the credit... wouldn't it be better to just kill you after you get here?"
"Tsk. I originally thought you, Captain Gao, just had a bad mouth and couldn't speak properly. I didn't expect that you don't have a very good brain either..."
"Puchi——" Ding Baian couldn't help but burst out laughing.
Even Baili Zhuo coughed lightly to cover it up.
Gao Yang listened to the sneer beside him and gritted his teeth, "Qiao Yu! You!"
Qiao Yu's face suddenly became smiling, "I'm here, what's wrong, Captain Gao?"
Jiang Zhan stood behind Qiao Yu like a shadow, staring at Gao Yang with a dim gaze.
Gao Yang gritted his teeth and kept saying "you" for a long time, his eyes kept glancing at Xiang Heng, but Xiang Heng was still immersed in grief, with his head down, in a daze, and didn't care about what they had just said.
Gao Yangqi gritted his teeth, thinking that Captain Vulture was too fussy and had no nerve at all, but he didn't say anything in the end.
"Alright, both of you." Baili Zhuo couldn't help but speak up to smooth things over upon seeing this. "We're all partners in this mission, so don't let this little thing ruin your relationship."
Qiao Yu snorted at Gao Yang again, feeling annoyed. He turned around and pulled Jiang Zhan away, saying, "The mission has been completed. We will return tomorrow morning. Captains, please do as you please."
"Qiao..." Baili Zhuo originally wanted to ask Qiao Yu how to get back, but Qiao Yu walked very fast and disappeared in the thick fog in a few steps.
Gao Yang saw this and began to fan the flames in front of Baili Zhuo, saying, "Captain Baili, it's no wonder your team members said the people from the Pendulum Hammer had a bad attitude. Look, they probably don't even take us seriously."
Baili Zhuo just glanced at him and said nothing.
Ding Baian, standing by, said with a sullen expression, "Really? I thought he was just telling the truth."
Gao Yang wanted to retort, but Xiang Heng, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly said, "Gao Yang, I advise you not to treat us all as fools."
Gao Yang heard the warning in Xiang Heng's words and his expression paused. Then he heard him continue, "No matter what, Captain Qiao respects my brothers and gave us the first victory. I, Xiang Heng, accept this favor. If I hear you speak rudely to the Pendulum for no reason again, don't blame me for turning my back on you."
Gao Yang stood there in a daze, his fists clenched tightly, but he really didn't dare to refute.
Only after all the captains had left did he spat with a gloomy expression and turn back to the camp.
"Do you want to teach him a lesson?" Jiang Zhan returned to the car, held Qiao Yu in his arms, and told Qiao Yu all the conversations they had had, with a sinister look on his face.
"No need." Qiao Yu stuffed an orange slice into Jiang Zhan's mouth and said nonchalantly, "Gao Yang's brain is so stupid that he'll kill himself. We can just wait and see."
"What show are you watching?" Yu Qingchuan had just returned from the mercenary team. As soon as he got in the car, he heard Qiao Yu and Jiang Zhan talking about "watching a show" and couldn't help but feel curious.
I don’t know which unlucky guy has offended Qiao Yu again.
"We're talking about Gao Yang." Qiao Yu turned to look at Yu Qingchuan. "How's the mercenary team doing?"
Yu Qingchuan walked over to the chair opposite the two of them and sat down. He took out a green mutant plant from his pocket and placed it on the table. "There is indeed something wrong with the people in the 331st Legion."
"The mercenary team I led today included four members of the 331st Legion. During the search and rescue operation, I kept a reasonable distance from them, observing their situation from behind. However, after a full day of walking, I didn't notice anything amiss."
"Then the Vultures sent out a signal. I rushed over, so I asked two mercenaries who were not from the 331st Legion to leave the team and follow them to continue observing secretly. Not long after I left, the problem really happened."
"According to those two mercenaries, four mercenaries from the 331st Legion suddenly attacked and attacked two of their teammates. After the other team members reacted, they quickly engaged in a struggle, trying to subdue them."
"But their strength suddenly became very strong. Two non-strength-enhancing mutants actually defeated the strength-enhancing mutants in the team without much effort."
"It didn't take long for all the mercenaries in that group to be killed. Only the two mercenaries I singled out for secret observation barely escaped because they were far away."
Qiao Yu took the mutant plant on the table and asked, "What is this plant?"
This plant is quite different from the common plants in the apocalypse. It is very small and looks a bit like the weeds that grew before the apocalypse.
It is dark green in color, and its leaves are thin and appear translucent. When you pick it up, you can faintly see a little liquid swaying inside the leaves.
And it smells like a very strange fragrance.
"Those two mercenaries brought them back." Yu Qingchuan took a sip of water and continued, "After they saw the four mercenaries kill all the team members, they wanted to run away, but before they could retreat, they saw the four mercenaries start attacking each other again."
Qiao Yu frowned, "Internal strife?"
Yu Qingchuan shook his head. "I don't think so. The two mercenaries said that from the beginning when they killed their teammates to the end when they killed each other, they didn't say a word the entire time."
"Just like Wang Zha said...the two mercenaries also speculated that they might be controlled by something."
