Chapter 556 - I Don’t Mind Bullying You
Chen Ting clenched his fists tightly as he was about to succumb in anger and attack. In the end, he restrained himself as the dense killing intent coming from the tour bus made him think rationally and calm down. His instincts told him that they had yet to see all of the tour bus’ capabilities and the real strength of the Shi Ying Squad. As Chen Ting did not have much information on his enemies, he didn’t know if he could win this battle or not.
At that moment, Jiang Liushi’s voice sounded, “I’d like to ask about something?”
Chen Ting asked tensely, “What do you want to ask?”
“Where is Qionghai City?” asked Jiang Liushi.
Chen Ting was stunned. Only now did he learn why the Shi Ying Squad had appeared in this area. “Uh? You want to go to Qionghai City?”
“Before doomsday, there was no city named Qionghai. It appeared after the catastrophe in the form of a base city. If you haven’t been there, you won’t be able to locate it easily,” said Chen Ting slowly.
“Oh? Have you been there?” asked Jiang Liushi again.
Chen Ting nodded. “Yes, I have purchased all of our weapon and ammunition from Qionghai City. If you have the capital, you can buy everything you want there. Weapons, supplies, entertainment, and even slaves,” said Chen Ting while observing Jiang Liushi’s reaction.
In Chen Ting’s mind, since Jiang Liushi was a young paranormal, he should be very interested in such things. Unfortunately, Jiang Liushi’s reaction disappointed him. He could not see the slightest hint of excitement on Jiang Liushi’s face.
‘Qionghai City is very complex. Newcomers are easy preys. You may be arrogant, but I want to see how you’ll cope with the people in Qionghai City that are way stronger than you. Not to mention that you are wanted people…’ thought Chen Ting.
Suddenly, Jiang Liushi said, “Since you are so familiar with Qionghai City, then lead us there.”
‘What? Lead the way?’ Jiang Liushi was starting to get on Chen Ting’s nerves.
“You’re going too far with your bullying!” barked Chen Ting. How could he, the leader of the camp, be the Shi Ying Squad’s guide?
Jiang Liushi just smiled and answered, “If we weren’t strong, then you’d be the ones bullying us. I don’t really mind bullying you.”
“You!” Chen Ting was enraged.
On the other hand, Jiang Liushi was quite calm. He didn’t believe that Chen Ting would not be so benevolent to give them a safe route to follow. At the same time, Chen Ting might seem submissive, but even without Ran Xiyu’s help, Jiang Liushi could feel that he was secretly gloating. Once they left, Jiang Liushi was certain that Chen Ting would scheme against them. Therefore, Jiang Liushi gave Chen Ting only two choices; death or leading the way for them. Naturally, Jiang Liushi had some more questions, so he temporarily didn’t want to kill him.
Chen Ting and Jiang Liushi stared at each other for a while. Then, Chen Ting asked, “After leading you to Qionghai City, you’ll let me go, right?”
“If you take us there, then I can promise not to punish you,” answered Jiang Liushi.
Chen Ting pondered for a while, before sighing. “Okay, I will lead you there. When are we going?” asked Chen Ting.
“Now,” replied Jiang Liushi.
“So urgent?” Chen Ting frowned.
Jiang Liushi didn’t give him any preparation time, and Chen Ting could still feet someone staring at him. He knew that this was a warning. Chen Ting, who was cursing in his heart, quickly called eight members to accompany him. Then, they prepared two cars.
“I have prepared everything,” said Chen Ting to Jiang Liushi.
“What are you waiting for then? Lead the way,” replied Jiang Liushi.
Upon hearing that Chen Ting felt like slapping himself. When did a lofty figure such as himself get berated like that? He thought that Jiang Liushi had yet again stepped on his dignity, bullying him. Even the expressions of Che Ting’s subordinates were strange. He had told them that he had come to an agreement with the Shi Ying Squad, but it was pretty clear who was calling the shots.
Unfortunately, Chen Ting didn’t dare to fight against the Shi Ying Squad. If he was still the same man back when he had established the camp, he would have long made his move. However, ever since he became the local tyrant, Chen Ting got timid and lazy. At the same time, Chen Biexue and the others’ deaths taught him a cruel lesson. If he died, nobody would avenge him. Therefore, he tried his best to bear the insults and pay them tenfold in the future.
‘Jiang Liushi don’t be too arrogant!’ thought Chen Ting.
Then, Chen Ting shouted and turned to get on his bus without hesitation, “Get on quickly!”
“That fellow should be devastated,” said Jiang Zhuying with a grin. The sadder her enemy was, the happier Jiang Zhuying would be.
Li Yuxin was worried. “If he’s honest, things will be fine, but if-”
“Don’t worry. I will pay attention to his every action,” said Ran Xiyu.
Suddenly, a figure rushed to the side of Chen Ting and the others.
“Xie Shasha?” Chen Ting frowned and looked at her.
Xie Shasha looked very pitiful. She was pale, and her body was shaking slightly. Today’s events made her feel as if her heart was going to burst. She had constantly been worrying about Jiang Liushi’s fate, but the outcome was beyond her imagination. Even her nominal brother had been killed…
Although Xie Feng was her nominal brother, she was afraid of him. Xie Feng had certainly given her shelter and a comfortable life in this post-apocalyptic world. Naturally, his influence deterred anyone from having evil intention toward Xie Shasha, helping her retain her innocence. That’s mainly the reason Ah Dong pursued her rather than using force.
At the same time, it was clear to Xie Shasha that Xie Feng treated her like his sister because she resembled his deceased sister. She was only a substitute. Since Xie Feng was able to break his zombified sister’s neck with his hands, he could easily kill Xie Shasha at any time. Xie Shasha felt sad upon witnessing Xie Feng’s death, but she didn’t blame Jiang Liushi at all.
“What are you doing? Why are you following us?” asked Chen Ting angrily. Even though Xie Feng had just died, his attitude toward Xie Shasha had changed.
“Brother Chen, let me go with you.” Xie Shasha pleaded.
“You want to come with us? No, it is too much trouble.” Chen Ting directly waved his hands and refused.
Xie Shasha’s body swayed, and she bit her lip in fear. Although she was naïve, Xie Shasha was not an idiot. Now that Xie Feng was dead, the ones coveting her would gather like vultures to claim her. Moreover, she wanted to be with Jiang Liushi…
At that moment, Jiang Liushi’s voice sounded from the tour bus. “Take her with you!”
Xie Shasha was stunned, and then she looked at the tour bus. However, to her disappointment, Jiang Liushi was still inside the tour bus, and thus she was unable to see him.
Chen Ting glanced at the tour bus gloomily. Then, he said to Xie Shasha, “Get on the bus!”
“Okay! Thank you!” Xie Shasha nodded and quickly sat in the passenger seat of the second car.
Since Chen Ting gave his permission for Xie Shasha to go with them, it meant that the others still had to respect her. Although Xie Shasha wanted to be close to Jiang Liushi, she was still satisfied with this outcome. ( )
“This is the second time he saved me. Don’t hope for more…” whispered Xie Shasha while clenching her small fist. While talking to herself, she also felt confused. She didn’t know where to go. She was just an ordinary girl, not a paranormal.
“Brother, you have totally stolen the young maiden’s heart. Even I was moved by her earlier actions. I thought that you would let her board our bus,” said Jiang Zhuying.
Jiang Liushi hit the back of her head with his palm gently.
“She is a member of this camp. How could Brother Jiang let a stranger get on the bus?” asked Ling in a serious manner.
“Sister Ling, you should relax a little. If you’re so serious all the time, how will you ever make new friends?” said Jiang Zhuying while shaking her head. In her mind, Ling was a pretty good girl, but too serious.
“Stop teasing her. We are ready to set off,” said Jiang Liushi, interrupting Jiang Zhuying. He thought that his sister’s behavior needed to be cultivated.
