Chapter 57 Did I enjoy beating you up?
Now that everyone had figured it out, Meng Shiwan stopped hiding anything and started playing her cards openly.
She wasn't just there to settle scores with Meng Qingyue and Gu Jinchen; she also wanted to kill those two bastards.
The crowd, who had just extended such enthusiastic invitations, are now even more silent.
Putting aside Meng Qingyue and Gu Jinchen's identities, both of their families are quite wealthy and contributed greatly to the construction of the base.
Both elders held important positions within the base and were quite influential.
Even without such backgrounds, one possesses a rare spatial ability, and the other an ice-type ability.
We can't just kill them to win over a level 5 ability user.
Jiang Hanyu hesitated, "This won't stop you from joining the construction team, will it? Once you're in the team, you can do whatever you want. I never interfere with team members' private lives."
He practically told Meng Shiwan to kill him if necessary, and that it wouldn't conflict with her joining his team.
The others stared wide-eyed at Jiang Hanyu; this reply was somewhat shameless.
What's the point of having any principles when facing a level 5 superhuman?
They all echoed this sentiment.
"Yes, yes, we respect our team members' private lives. If you join my team, you can ask for leave whenever you need to, and we will approve it."
"I'll give you paid leave."
This is tantamount to telling Meng Shiwan that they will not stop her when she goes to kill Meng Qingyue and Gu Jinchen.
They even gave her paid leave so she could go kill.
Jiang Hanyu despised this group of people; they were even less principled than him.
Meng Shiwan shrugged. "Then there's nothing to talk about. Please move aside, I'm leaving."
Jiang Hanyu refused to give up, leaning against the car window like a reluctant old father.
"How could there be no room for negotiation? Let's talk, and eventually everyone will be satisfied."
Meng Shiwan rolled up the car window and slowly started the vehicle.
Seeing that the other party was completely unwilling to negotiate, everyone had no choice but to make way and let Meng Shiwan leave.
Even after the RV had driven quite a distance, everyone's eyes were still reluctant to leave the rear of it.
It's as if you can pull the people in the RV back just by looking at them.
Only after the RV had completely disappeared did everyone regretfully pound their fists and stamp their feet.
"A level five ability user, just left like that?"
"If the rescue team had the help of a level 5 ability user, how many more survivors could they save in a short time?"
Meng Shiwan is now a hot commodity, someone they can see but can't reach, making them scratch their heads in envy.
Jiang Hanyu pondered, "There's still a chance for things to turn around. Let's ignore this and let them make a fuss over it. Once they've settled their scores, we can try to win Meng Shiwan over, right?"
Those who can become heads of various departments are not fools, and they immediately understood the meaning behind Jiang Hanyu's words.
They all secretly cursed Jiang Hanyu for being cunning.
Given Meng Shiwan's resolute attitude, it's impossible for them to mediate the relationship between the two Meng sisters.
So the only thing they can do is wait, wait for Meng Shiwan to resolve the issue herself before trying to win her over.
Not only would they not get involved, they even secretly hoped that Meng Shiwan would win, after all, she was a level five ability user.
Of course, if Meng Hanyuan were smart enough, as a father he could mediate the conflict between them and reach a reconciliation, it would be a win-win situation for everyone.
They just didn't think Meng Shiwan was the kind of person who would reconcile.
Not far away, in the withered green belt of the park, several men were squatting, keeping a close eye on the situation by the roadside.
"Brother, something's not right. Those guys don't look like ordinary people. What were they saying around the RV? Could that girl have some powerful connections at the base?"
The bald man thought it unlikely. "If she had connections, would she stand on the street in this sweltering heat and talk for so long? I think these people are here to question her about something that happened inside her RV during the inspection."
If I'm not mistaken, the RV's cabin is so big, it must be packed with supplies.
The others' eyes immediately lit up. "Brother, if we can get our hands on this RV, we can not only enjoy air conditioning, but also keep us from going hungry for days!"
The bald man wiped the sweat from his brow. "Follow her, find her, observe the situation first, and then act when the opportunity arises."
They've found such a good catch; they deserve to live a good life.
A large RV, with supplies, and driven by a single woman—it was practically delivered to their doorstep for them to rob.
After killing the organization's headquarters, Yaofeng, wearing only shorts, was doing push-pull exercises, his muscles bulging under the mechanical force.
A henchman walked in, "Boss..."
Yaofeng slowly put down the exercise equipment, grabbed a towel to wipe the sweat from his body, and said leisurely, "Kill him?"
Sending Shen Peng out this time is a sure way to kill him.
A level three speed-based ability user can overwhelm other ability users of the same level.
Killing a metal-type superpowered being is a piece of cake.
Seeing his confident demeanor, the younger brother opened his mouth, but hesitated to speak.
Yaofeng frowned. "What? Still no news?"
The younger brother closed his eyes, steeled his resolve, and shouted, "I've been killed!"
Upon hearing those three words, Yaofeng's heart rate, which had just been pumped up during exercise, dropped by half a beat.
He picked at his ear. "What did you say? Say it again?"
The younger brother was on the verge of tears. "Someone just saw a pink RV enter the base, and it looked a lot like our target. Later, we found out that Shen Peng's assassination attempt failed, and he was killed instead."
The target didn't run away; instead, they drove their RV into the base and are now heading towards the central area. Could they be here to settle scores with us?
Yaofeng has really gone mad this time.
His eyes instantly turned bloodshot, and he roared, "You're saying Shen Peng is dead? Shen Peng, whom I hired at a high price, is dead? Did we kill the organization's most powerful figure?"
The younger brother nodded vigorously, "Yes, according to the investigation, the news that came back is that Shen Peng is dead, and his body is on its way back."
Yao Feng was so angry his hair stood on end. "Are you kidding me? Shen Peng is a level three ability user. There are very few people in the entire base who can beat him. You're saying he was killed by a little girl?"
This news is even more outrageous than the previous story about the girl blowing up the helicopter.
She can throw explosives at helicopters, but can she really throw explosives at people with superpowers and kill them?
Could she possibly be a level four superhuman?
There were no Level 4 ability users in the entire base, so how could she possibly be Level 4?
How could Shen Peng possibly be dead?
The underling shrank back and continued, "According to the blood test results upon entering the base, the target is a level five ability user."
Yaofeng: ...
He guessed correctly; it wasn't a level four ability user.
Damn it, he's a level 5 superhuman!
Yaofeng slumped onto the sofa, seemingly having lost all his strength and ability.
The organization's first assassination order has hit them right off the bat.
The underling tentatively asked, "Boss, should we still kill them?"
Yao Feng gritted his teeth, "Kill him? Why not kill him? I have a helicopter. Old Wang and Shen Peng can't die in vain. This Meng Shiwan must die. Send someone to keep an eye on him. Don't act rashly. Find a good opportunity to kill him in one blow."
To reiterate, the sunk costs are too high; at this point, it's no longer about the orders themselves.
This became a personal feud between them and Meng Shiwan.
Yaofeng grew angrier the more he thought about it, and he stood up and strode out.
The underling followed closely behind, asking, "Boss, where are you going?"
Yaofeng was furious. "The information the client provided us was wrong, causing us huge losses. I'm going to settle accounts with the client."
Meanwhile, in the hospital at the center of the base, Meng Qingyue was furious in her private room.
“How could Meng Shiwan be a level 5 ability user? Absolutely impossible. When we fought last time, she was still a level 3 ability user.”
Meng Qingyue had several teeth knocked out by Meng Shiwan, causing her to speak with a lisp, but she still continued to curse loudly.
She couldn't accept this fact, and even more so, she couldn't accept that Meng Shiwan was better than her.
She was the darling of her family since she was little, and her parents doted on her.
Seeing Meng Shiwan, who was inferior to her in everything, unloved and ignored at home, Meng Qingyue always felt smug and proud.
Later, she successfully stole Meng Shiwan's fiancé and kicked Meng Shiwan out of the house.
All the family businesses belong to her.
Meng Qingyue believed that she had always been the victor since childhood, and would always have Meng Shiwan under her feet.
Even after the apocalypse, she awakened the rarest spatial ability.
No matter what, she is always the most outstanding and the most dazzling one.
So much so that she harbored a deep grudge after suffering a great loss at Meng Shiwan's hands last time, and was determined to kill Meng Shiwan to vent her anger.
Meng Shiwan was really ruthless; she knocked out several of her teeth, and now half of her face is swollen like a pig's head. She also has a mild concussion and can only rest in bed.
The broken teeth can only be replaced after the swelling on her face subsides.
Meng Qingyue could not accept her grotesque appearance. She was so angry that she would never be able to sleep for the rest of her life unless she killed Meng Shiwan.
She said viciously, "So what if she's a level 5 ability user? Level 5 ability users turn to ashes when they die. She's not immortal. There are plenty of ways to kill her."
Gu Jinchen, who was also hospitalized and recovering from his injuries, sat on the sofa next to Meng Qingyue. Looking at Meng Qingyue's hideous and ugly face, he took two deep breaths, lowered his eyes to hide the disgust in them, and got up to leave the ward.
As Meng Qingyue watched him leave, she called out through a lisp, "Where are you going? Didn't you hear what I said? Didn't Meng Shiwan beat you up, or did she beat you up to her satisfaction?"
Gu Jinchen pretended not to hear and strode away.
He didn't want to see Meng Qingyue now, with half her face swollen like a pig's head, her mouth missing teeth and spitting out air, and her voice full of resentment.
She's so ugly. He feels like he'll have a psychological trauma from sleeping in the same bed with Meng Qingyue in the future.
How could he marry such a thing?
Before the apocalypse, she was gentle and charming, but after awakening her spatial abilities after the apocalypse, she became utterly unreasonable.
Gu Jinchen sat down on a bench in the corridor, clasped his hands together on his knees, and lowered his head, making his expression unreadable.
At this moment, all he could see in his mind was Meng Shiwan's face.
A cold, prickly face, but more beautiful than Meng Qingyue.
Before the apocalypse, he disliked Meng Shiwan's assertiveness, but now, compared to the irritable and dramatic woman in the ward, she was surprisingly captivating to him.
