“Then do you have any interest in being employed by me?”
Wei Xiao Bei smiled.
“Willing, I’m willing! Could I ask you something? My… salary, how would you calculate it? Is my work as a bodyguard or a patrol guard?”
Wei Xing Wu had immediately thrown all his fear behind him, his eyes shining as he looked at Wei Xiao Bei.
There was no doubt that after not killing himself and then revealing the organization’s secret, Wei Xing Wu was running out of options. Even if he left the organization, he might be pursued for his entire life.
Wei Xing Wu had already seen how ruthless Ash Gray was.
Yet, if he could be hired by a strong guy that was seemingly inhuman, he might just be able to preserve his life.
Wei Xing Wu was very interested in the proposal as he could also fill his dried-up purse.
Bodyguard? Patrol guard?
Wei Xiao Bei’s lips curled. Although Wei Xing Wu was not a weak mercenary, he had surrendered too fast, which made his evaluation of the soldier drop.
Wei Xiao Bei originally planned to use Wei Xing Wu to help him find other mercenaries to protect his family.
After all, Wei Xing Wu was a mercenary, meaning he should have some connections of his own.
“Let’s not talk about this now. Guide me to the base so I can have a look.”
Wei Xiao Bei did not continue the discussion of his employment any longer.
“Okay. In truth, it is very simple to provide for me. I only need 10,000 per month.”
Wei Xing Wu did not dare oppose his decision and so mumbled softly.
Naturally, if what Wei Xing Wu meant by 10,000 was RMB, then it was not much, though if it was US Dollars it was higher than the salary given by Ash Gray by quite a bit.
Wei Xiao Bei ignored Wei Xing Wu’s small muttering and suddenly became serious. He lightly pushed Wei Xing Wu, indicating that he should lie down. Wei Xiao Bei then lay down on the ground and crawled forward, vanishing among the bushes in the span of a few breaths.
“Wait for me and return my gun.”
Wei Xing Wu came to an understanding of the situation. Someone from the organization must have come over, however, he refused to be pushed around by Wei Xiao Bei and whispered some instructions to him. Suddenly, Wei Xing Wu crawled and rolled behind a large tree nearby.
Whoosh!
An explosion had hit Wei Xing Wu’s original position, causing the soil to spray in all directions.
“RPG!”
Wei Xing Wu was startled. He did not dare stay where he was anymore and detoured around the large tree, running back using the tree as cover to dodge bullets.
Wei Xiao Bei had already jumped into the group of people.
Just then, he had felt that the small pig was approaching closer at a steady pace.
Although the small pig was weakening, the decrease in the distance made what was happening as clear as a lamp at night.
Leng Xin Xing actually dared to come?
Wei Xiao Bei felt this was quite unexpected.
The rocket that had fired at Wei Xing Wu made him understand that he was confident because they had such a powerful weapon at hand.
However, Leng Xin Xing immediately lost all hope when he saw the three mercenaries carrying RPGs die in an instant.
Wei Xiao Bei was already charging at Leng Xin Xing, who also held an RPG.
Leng Xin Xing was stunned, a plethora of questions immediately popping into his head, the most important one being how Wei Xiao Bei found out where he was.
In truth, he had been questioning this ever since Wei Xiao Bei began chasing them for an entire week, but now he was starting to understand with much more clarity.
Seeing the fresh blood on Wei Xiao Bei’s hand, Leng Xin Xing instinctively aimed at him and pulled the trigger.
Whoosh!
The rocket left a trail of flames as it shot toward Wei Xiao Bei.
Just when Leng Xin Xing pulled the trigger, Wei Xiao Bei immediately jumped up into the air. The rocket shot just under the sole of his foot and flew ten meters more, hitting a tree and blowing it into pieces.
Wei Xiao Bei would naturally not try to find out if he could endure the explosion of the rocket, locking onto Leng Xin Xing and jumping again.
Leng Xin Xing fired one more rocket and then threw the launcher away. He turned and ran, taking out a bottle of medicinal water and drinking it.
It was very hard for Leng Xin Xing to outrun Wei Xiao Bei with his speed.
However, when Wei Xiao Bei reached for Leng Xin Xing and was about to grab him, all he grabbed was thin air.
Leng Xin Xing stopped in place, his body becoming transparent.
“Bye bye!”
Leng Xin Xing waved arrogantly at Wei Xiao Bei. In an instant, he had completely disappeared.
Fuck!
Leng Xin Xing was provoking Wei Xiao Bei.
Wei Xiao Bei became angry, though when Leng Xin Xing disappeared he immediately suppressed the impulse to enter the Dust World.
There was no doubt that Leng Xin Xing wanted to provoke Wei Xiao Bei and force him to continue his chase in the Dust World, seizing the opportunity to kill him.
After all, entering the Dust World from the real-world resulted in a period where the person was asleep. In that period, no matter how strong one was, they left a potentially fatal opening.
However, Wei Xiao Bei would not fall for Leng Xin Xing’s trap.
After killing the rest of the mercenaries, Wei Xiao Bei did not stay around to guard the spot he disappeared.
After Leng Xin Xing entered the Dust World, the small pig that was stuck on his body had fallen. Wei Xiao Bei had simply provided more flesh, causing it to temporarily level up.
With the small pig guarding, Wei Xiao Bei would immediately find out when Leng Xin Xing returned to the real world.
After finding Wei Xing Wu, Wei Xiao Bei continued on his mission, letting the mercenary lead him to the base.
It could be said that Ash Gray had put in a lot of effort when building this base.
The entrance was placed beside a small lake, which animals went to for drinking water. If outsiders approached the animals would be startled, alarming the people inside the base.
When Wei Xiao Bei reached the entrance, the other party appeared to have run away.
According to Wei Xing Wu’s explanation, there were at least two hidden cameras near the entrance.
However, Wei Xiao Bei found that the two hidden cameras had completely shutdown.
After thinking of a method to open the entrance and enter the base, Wei Xiao Bei confirmed that the other party had truly left.
In truth, the underground base was different from what he had imagined. There were no secret paths under it, nor were there automatic rifles scattered around the place. Wei Xiao Bei’s imagination of what an underground base would be was based purely on movies.
The entire underground base was around a thousand square meters. Other than dormitories, a cafeteria, a library, a resting room, and some other small rooms, there was only a single monitoring room and a few secret rooms whose usage he could not figure out.
His greatest gain was that the other party did not finish burning some documents due to how quickly they left.
Unfortunately, these documents were all scattered around the place and most had been partially burned.
Wei Xiao Bei stored the documents into his storage bag before carefully inspecting the base again.
The underground base had everything you would ever need, including its own electricity generator, fuel depot, and industrial refrigerator.
In truth, if he was not worried about the organization returning and retaliating, Wei Xiao Bei would have occupied the base.
He knew that the man who controlled the sea monster bringing everyone away meant that they may think Wei Xiao Bei was a secret agent or soldier sent by a country’s secret service.
By virtue of common sense, it was clear that the most important quality for secret organizations to maintain was for their existence to remain unknown.
If they were found, the impact on their existence would be huge.
Therefore, they would send someone back to check how the situation had developed once they believed they were safe.
Since he was already there, he would naturally not walk away empty-handed. Wei Xiao Bei and Wei Xing Wu worked together and carried away anything of use.
They took away all the monitoring equipment, meat from the freezer, electricity generators, and much more, placing it all into his storage bag.
After busying themselves for two hours, the base looked as if it had just been hit by a tornado.
If the people from Ash Gray returned, they might just spit out blood upon seeing what had happened to their base.
Afterward, Wei Xiao Bei brought Wei Xing Wu back to the place where Leng Xing Xin entered the Dust World to guard it.
No matter what, he would never let Leng Xin Xing escape.
After guarding for six hours, Wei Xing Wu was so tired that he had to fight to keep his eyes open. While on the other hand, Wei Xiao Bei was still completely focused on the spot where Leng Xin Xing disappeared.
Finally, a transparent human figure appeared, slowly becoming more and more opaque.
Seeing Leng Xin Xing appear, Wei Xiao Bei finally understood why the organization built the base in the forest.
The members who could enter the Dust World should only enter from these bases.
It must be known that even Wei Xiao Bei placed great importance on the safety of the place he entered and left the Dust World, so it was no surprise the organization did the same.
For them, it was acceptable to build a base in order to make it safer to enter the Dust World.
In truth, if Wei Xiao Bei had enough money in the future, he might do the exact same.
No matter what though, Leng Xin Xing had finally appeared, and he would not let him go.
However, Wei Xiao Bei became suspicious. Upon Leng Xin Xing’s body finally solidifying, a trace of black mist floated out from his eyes. It was as if it had a life of its own, suddenly letting out a golden light.
