Chapter 549: Reward for Jiang Liushi’s Arrest

The news of Han Yuan’s death had been spread through the Jiangning Safety Zone quickly. As a result, all of the influential figures of the Jiangning Safety Zone had been shaken up.

Some people that didn’t know about the situation inquired about it urgently. Many people speculated that the Black Hole had killed Han Yuan or one of the monsters and zombies that it had under its control.

Currently, a detailed report was in Commander Huang’s hands. The report described clearly that the Shi Ying Squad, and more precisely Jiang Liushi was the one who had killed Han Yuan.

Commander Huang, who was sitting on his chair, closed his eyes. Opposite him were General Zhang, Commander Luo as well as some other people.

“I don’t believe the contents of the report,” said Commander Luo.

He had already read the report several times, but he still felt that it was unbelievable. The destruction of the Black Hole or the fact that Han Yuan had been killed while protected by tank fleet were both matters that would shock the entire Jiangning Safety Zone. And according to the reports, both feats had been accomplished by a single team – Shi Ying Squad! And more precisely, Jiang Liushi. It was totally subverting the thoughts of many people and a slap on the face of many powerful paranormals.

A commander slammed the table and barked, “He’s too arrogant! The Huaxia Region will inevitably send people to inquire about Han Yuan’s death. I suggest sending out troops out immediately to catch and bring back the Shi Ying Squad. They must atone for their crimes!”

“Crimes? What crimes? Didn’t you witness the Shi Ying Squad destroying the Black Hole?” Commander Luo said coldly. It was obvious that the whole safety zone would regard Jiang Liushi as their hero. How could they send people to catch him to atone for his crimes?

“Don’t forget that he killed Han Yuan while he was protected by a fleet of tanks. Who would you like to send to catch him? Are you going to send a team to arrest him? We’ll become a public joke!”

The commander hesitated, but he still added, “I heard that there are two professors in our Safety Zone that are familiar with Jiang Liushi-”

Before he could complete his sentence, General Zhang glared at him. “Do you really have the guts to implicate two of the Institute’s scientists?” asked General Zhang angrily.

“No, I didn’t mean that. I would just like to ask them about the Shi Ying Squad,” explained the commander carefully this time.

Suddenly, General Zhang stood up and slammed his hand on the table. “I was the one who sent the two professors to the Institute. I won’t allow anyone to harass them. If you still want to give it a try, then be my guest. But I advise you to discard any silly thoughts now that it’s still early. Otherwise, I’m afraid that not even we can save your head.”

Upon hearing General Zhang’s last remark, the commander frowned. “What do you mean Zhang Tianyu? Are you threatening me?”

General Zhang faintly said a certain man’s name, “Commissioner Chu.” Then, he added, “You think I’m threatening you? I don’t have so much free time! Haven’t you the story of Commissioner Chu’s death back in the Shenhai Island? If not, you should better learn about it in advance before acting recklessly…”

The commander was scared when he heard that. Of course, he knew who Chu Chongshan was and some stories about him, including how he died. Initially, he had been wondering who his killer was, but he didn’t know as it was a taboo matter and something that should remain a secret. But according to General Zhang’s tone, the killed was most probably Jiang Liushi.

Compared to Chu Chongshan, military-wise, Han Yuan was far inferior to him. That’s the reason the commander was almost scared to death. At the same time, the commander felt confused as he didn’t want to admit that he was afraid of Jiang Liushi. But after learning about Chu Chongshan’s tragic death, he had to admit that the Shi Ying Squad was by no way ordinary. He wondered whether another team could destroy the Black Hole on its own, like the Shi Ying Squad, or not.

Commander Luo said in a low and worried tone, “Jiang Liushi had already killed two generals. That ought to show how capable and powerful he is.”

Initially, he wanted to invite Jiang Liushi to join his team, but now, he gave up on such a dangerous thought. In Commander Luo’s mind, the Shi Ying Squad had provided meritorious service, and it was better to cooperate with it than trying to control it.

General Zhang said slowly, “Han Yuan is not someone from our Safety Zone. And according to the report he gave several strange orders during the battle. Someone even pointed out that Han Yuan knew more about the Black Hole than he had divulged to us. He led our troops to catch the Black Hole instead of destroying it! He endangered our soldiers’ lives and our safety!”

At that moment, Commander Huang snapped his eyes open, and he asked, “General Zhang, what’s your meaning?”

“I’m simply advising that we should report everything as it is and not hide anything. As for how to deal with hot potato it’s up to those in the Huaxia Region,” answered General Zhang.

Commander Huang nodded, but he was still worried that if the missed anything, the people in the Huaxia Region would vent their anger on the Jiangning Safety Zone. On the other hand, the Jiangning Safety Zone’s situation was still precarious as the Black hole had attracted many mutant zombies and beasts, threatening them now. They didn’t have the manpower to spare to fight against Jiang Liushi.

In the end, Commander Huang nodded in agreement with General Zhang’s proposal. As for the other people in the room, they didn’t say anything. But they clearly knew that it was the first time they had made a concession to an ordinary person.

After that, any news about the Shi Ying Squad killing Han Yuan had been prevented from spreading, but a secret report was sent to the Huaxia Region. Also, another message had been sent to other Safety Zones.

“Shi Ying Squad? Jiang Liushi?” A tall man in Qionghai City was reading a secret letter. Suddenly, a flame appeared above his hand, burning the secret letter.

“The Black Hole’s core was obtained by Jiang Liushi. It’s a pity that I didn’t have the time to deal with that urgent matter at such a critical moment. I guess that Jiang Liushi has taken his measures to avoid us.”

“Offer a reward and let the survivors’ teams outside to kill them. They will never expect that we’ll use survivors’ teams to assassinate them. We don’t need to bother with tedious matters. In addition to the core, the minibus seems pretty good. If we can get our hand on the minibus, it will be the perfect scenario.”

Such a scene was played in different security zones.

Those who knew about this matter thought that Shi Ying Squad was doomed, and Jiang Liushi would definitely die. Then, the amazing minibus would belong to them. As such, a reward order was passed to several survivors in secret.

“Who are they indeed?” Some survivors wondered in surprise.

They’d like to know why that group of people offered such a high price to destroy an ordinary team. If they could complete that task, they would be rewarded with plenty of weapons and even evolution crystals. Naturally, many teams wanted to give a try on hunting the Shi Ying Squad.

Some people even felt sympathetic for the Shi Ying Squad. Wherever it would appear, it would fall into a successive encirclement, which was equivalent to falling into a deeper hell. Of course, Jiang Liushi had no way to know about the vicious plan in motion.

Presently, Jiang Liushi was standing on the top of a building inside the Jiangning Safety Zone. He was looking toward one institute far away from them. Ran Xiyu also stood beside him. “The two professors are okay. Nothing has changed,” said Ran Xiyu. They had already been there for a whole day, monitoring the professors.

“It seems that General Zhang has kept his promise. He will protect the two professors. That’s good!” said Jiang Liushi.

The two professors were safe, but Jiang Liushi still hoped that his action would not affect them. If something were to happen to them, Jiang Liushi would gladly kill a few chickens to scare the monkeys.

“Let’s go.” Jiang Liushi lowered his hat and got down with Ran Xiyu, disappearing into the street quickly. There were too many people on the street. Even patrol teams occasionally passed, but nobody saw them. Under Ran Xiyu’s protection, it was quite easy for them to sneak in the Safety Zone. Moreover, most of the people on the street were ordinary people, so even if Ran Xiyu walked past through them, they wouldn’t find it strange.

When they reached the foot of the city wall, Jiang Liushi took out a cute cat-like animal. It was Luoluo.

“Luoluo,” Jiang Liushi called it and threw it to the ground. Luoluo swelled up immediately, and it became like a big inflated balloon in the blink of an eye.

Jiang Liushi caught Ran Xiyu’s waist, and they jumped on the big balloon, reaching the top of the wall in no time. Then, Luoluo started deflating and used the venting power to jump on the wall, landing on Jiang Liushi’s shoulder.

“Finally, you are useful! Let’s go!” Jiang Liushi took a small piece of evolutionary crystal from his pocket and showed it to Luoluo.

Luoluo’s ruby-like eyes shined upon seeing it, and it suddenly jumped off Jiang Liushi’s shoulder. Then, its body turned as thin as paper, but its tail and ears were swaying.

Jiang Liushi leaped forward with Ran Xiyu and grabbed its swaying tail with one hand. They started falling on the ground silently like wearing a parachute.
