Back to the Apocalypse Chapter 72

Chapter 74

Bai Jing waved his hand impatiently. His eyes were full of disdain, and he did not seem to be considering others at all. He didn’t care about whose territory he was standing on as he said, “Enough. I won’t talk to you about this anymore. You just have to obey orders. Where is the communication room? Take me there. I need to get in touch with City B. You’d better behave yourself and don’t let me catch any hint of betrayal. General Yang won’t let you off.”

Yan Liang’s expression was already stiff. His intuition told him that the first thing he should do was to prevent Bai Jing from communicating with B City. He had originally not been guilty, but after being threatened like this, his mind was full of twists and turns and a conspiracy theory immediately sprung up in his mind. He hurriedly spoke up, “There is no communications room right now. We have just come out of City C. If Young Master Bai wants to get in touch with B City, it will have to wait until we arrive at the base in front of us.”

Bai Jing immediately started to scold him. “How can you call yourself an army? Even your equipment is incomplete. How will you defend against foreign enemies in the future, or deal with danger? If there is no contact, there will be no way to call for help if needed. Are you planning to let your men die?”

Every word and phrase hit the soldiers where it mattered the most. Yan Liang could see the light in the soldiers’ eyes, and in this moment, there was already an indescribable sense of anger in his heart. He really wanted to just break Bai Jing into pieces. He pulled a sneer onto his lips as dark thoughts filled his heart. At this point, how could he not tell that this young man was clearly looking for trouble?

Only, he had no way to take back what he had said. He looked at Bai Jing with murderous intent in his eyes, and everyone could hear the killing intent in his words as he said, “As Young Master Bai says. But please, let me find a place for you to rest first. I’ll have someone install the equipment later. What do you say?”

Bai Jing was apparently still dissatisfied. With a light “Hmm!” and narrowed eyes, he looked at him the way one would a small servant. “Lead the way.”

Yan Liang took a deep breath and suppressed his anger in his heart. In a moment, he’d make this person’s life difficult. But for now, he swept a gaze at the subordinate next to him and shouted, “Why aren’t you leading the way for Young Master Bai?”

“Why are you being so angry at him? But this person is ugly, I don’t like him.” Bai Jing very casually rejected him and turned to another person before laughing playfully, “You, come over. Take us to somewhere we can rest.”

Chen Haoyang pointed at his own nose foolishly. He felt a little stunned, and his intuition told him that absolutely nothing good would come out of him going over there.

But he didn’t think that even if nothing good would happen if he went over, he would be given no way out. His reaction was quick, but he heard Bai Jing speak as though they were acquainted, “I mean you. What are you standing there foolishly for? I heard my friend mention you before. You look better in person than you do in the photos. Relax, in the future you’ll be my friend too. I’ve mentioned you to my father a few days ago. The environment is horrible here; in the future you can transfer to B City.”

Chen Haoyang was shocked. He saw his superior’s increasingly grim face and cursed viciously inside. Where on earth did he offend this young master for him to set him up like this?

Yan Liang’s eyes were cold, and he stared at Chen Haoyang. Then he said with pleasant colour, “Little Chen, can I still trust you if Young Master Bai is calling you over?”

Chen Haoyang wanted to cry but had no tears. It would be weird if he could be trusted at this point. He knew Yan Liang was suspicious. It hadn’t been easy for him to get into his current position today. No matter whether it was true or false, he was almost sure that his future was over.

Bai Jing smiled brilliantly. This was precisely the effect that he had wanted. Suddenly, he felt a pinch at his waist – Xiao Sa was very unhappy and jealous. That boy looked like a chopped boiled chicken, he didn’t look good at all!

Bai Jing was left speechless, but he still acted according to the plan. At present, it seemed to be very successful. As long as they added more oil to this situation, he had no fear that Chen Haoyang would refuse to defect. Despite the vinegar that Xiao Sa was eating on his own, this plan was something that he had come up with.

Chen Haoyang felt very bitter. Nobody was that much of a fool. When they finally entered the house, he looked down at the people in front of him and said, “Speak. What do you really want?”

Bai Jing waved his hand and sat down behind Xiao Sa. It would be better for him to negotiate such matters.

Chen Haoyang’s eyes dimmed and he wondered in his heart if their identities were false. If that was the case, he still had a chance to explain to Yan Liang.

Only, Xiao Sa destroyed his fantasy very quickly. “You are Chen Haoyang, right? The person responsible for the behind-the-scenes information trafficking in C City’s base.”

“You… How come you know about that?” Chen Haoyang’s expression was dark. Yes, he didn’t need to say anything else. He would be dead either way, and if Yan Liang knew about this, he would definitely be worse off.

Xiao Sa had no intention of hiding this matter. “Do you know Zhang Baoqiang?”

Chen Haoyang gnashed his teeth. How could he not know him? He had once revealed himself in front of that person. He could only blame himself for his own carelessness back then. Later, they became acquainted with each other. Unexpectedly, in a twinkling of an eye, this fellow sold him out.

“You guys come from Pingyuan County?” He remembered that Zhang Baoqiang had mentioned that he had acquaintances in Pingyuan County.

Xiao Sa nodded and his eyes flashed with a trace of admiration. Although the man was slippery, his brain turned fast, and he did not attempt any twists and turns. He asked calmly, “What are your thoughts now?”

Did he have any choice? Chen Haoyang made one last, dying struggle. “What are you planning to do?”

Yu Yue found this person amusing. He used to be the one pressured by others, and finally it was his chance to do the same. He spoke maliciously, “Not much. We’re just planning a sneak attack. Hurry up and tell us honestly, other than Yan Liang, who else is in charge here?”

“With just you guys?” Chen Haoyang was very angry. Yan Liang was an ability user, and he had people around him that were specifically assigned for his protection. He didn’t care if they wanted die, but why did they have to drag him down into the water with them?

Cao Lei nodded. “It’s better if you’re honest. Some people will come over to assassinate us in a minute. You might get hurt, and we won’t care if you end up losing your life.”

Chen Haoyang’s face was twisted. These men were clearly threatening him, and he hatefully asked, “What makes you guys so confident?”

Yu Yue was reasonable, yet high-handed. “If we were sure, we wouldn’t need you.”

Chen Haoyang was infuriated. They were acting reasonable even when pulling him to death along with them. It must be the accumulated misfortune of eight lifetimes for him to get to know that bastard Zhang Baoqiang, that guy did not know anything about loyalty and morals.

In fact, he didn’t know, but Zhao Baoqiang’s actions had actually been well intentioned. There was no future with Yan Liang as he was willing to abandon anyone. He might even end up dead someday. He had originally wanted Xiao Sa to look out for him, but Zhao Baoqiang had never thought that perhaps Xiao Sa’s way of showing care was very different.

Cao Lei shook his head regretfully and spoke in the same vein as Yu Yue. “Brother, calm down. You have no way out now. We don’t have much time now, and some people won’t just wait.”

His voice had just fallen, and Cao Lei and Qin Yi’s figures flashed away. One went to attack at the door, another went to deal with the roof. Their movements were as fast as lightning, and without making a sound, the room was instantly filled with more than a dozen black shadows. They still had disbelief in their eyes when their throats were sliced open.

Chen Haoyang’s heart was tense as he watched their hands rise and fall, and his eyes were suddenly blown wide. It was not that he hadn’t seen dead people before, and he was also an ability user himself, but he had never thought that killing other ability users could be so easy. He recognized the people on the floor, and they were all some of the best from Yan Liang’s side. He could swear that he had not heard any noise just now. How could these people have known they were coming?

He no longer had to think much about it. Chen Haoyang quickly weighed the pros and cons and told them about the situation here. He believed in Zhang Baoqiang’s character, and he would not try to harm him on purpose. Looking at these cold-eyed people in front of him, perhaps they did have a chance at succeeding.

After listening to him, Cao Lei raised his eyebrows: “If you have any comrades you want to save, name them now and don’t regret it later.”

Chen Haoyang’s head was full of black lines. Although he didn’t want to do as they said, he still circled the names of several people who had good relations with him. He could now see that the people in front of him were targeting the army, and would probably not do anything to him. In any case, it was the same anywhere, and he had already no longer had a place to stay here.

The few of them quickly put the information they had together, and then Xiao Sa ordered, “Little Jing, go and kill Yan Liang along with his trusted subordinates. Go now, and return quickly. As for Deputy Chen, it’ll be up to you to persuade the others.”

Bai Jing was delighted and slightly astonished. Before, Xiao Sa would never have assigned him such a task.

Xiao Sa smiled faintly. In fact, he had already reflected on it early on. If he loved someone, he could not break their wings. As a lover, he needed to first have confidence in him, support him, and watch him fly. “Your ability is the most suited, and you have an alibi. I believe nothing will happen to you.”

“Yes.” Bai Jing nodded fiercely and his eyes lit up. “Relax. I’ll keep my guard up. You be careful too.”

Xiao Sa was relieved. He knew that it might be dangerous for him to go, but when he saw Little Jing’s delighted expression, he was even more convinced that his decision had been correct.

Chen Haoyang didn’t say anything. He had already gotten on the thieves’ boat. Other than obeying orders, he couldn’t do much else. In his heart, he was cursing Zhang Baoqiang to death. He didn’t know the identity of these people in front of him at all. Damn, calling him some Master Bai, he really didn’t believe it. If he really was Young Master Bai, how would he have the time to play this game of sneaking around behind other people’s backs?

However, it didn’t matter what he thought. Bai Jing quickly teleported away. They were tight on time and couldn’t delay for even a minute or a second. Otherwise, it would be difficult for them to fish in muddied waters by the time dawn came around.

Xiao Sa was not idle, either. They decorated the house with scenes of assassination and fighting. More than a dozen corpses were laid out by Cao Lei and Qin Yi. Nevermind the soldiers outside – even Chen Haoyang, who had watched the whole process, was amazed. He could not see any flaw in their set-up at all, and if he hadn’t seen everything with his own eyes, he would really have believed that there had been fierce fighting and that they had almost been completely destroyed.

Yan Liang was still infuriated. He went back to his room and smashed everything he could lay his hands on. He had never suffered such a loss before. He glanced coldly at his subordinates and asked, “Have you sent people over yet?”

“Senior Colonel, you can rest assured. We sent over fifteen people, and they are all skilled. None of them will be able to escape.”

“Well, be careful, don’t let anyone catch any flaws. It’s not a good time to split off from old man Bai yet, and it can’t be linked to me if his son ended up assassinated and died. Even if he blames me, his sphere of influence is still limited. As long as we can still get along on the surface, when my brother arrives in the capital and reunites with Zhou family, I won’t even be afraid of old man Yang. What can Bai Jingcheng do? Those who play at politics had better follow the rules. Otherwise, he won’t be able to live his days well if blames me for his illegitimate son’s death.”

“Senior Colonel is right. What about us…”

“First send a telegram to my brother and let him know. See what he has in mind. If that little brat is so adamant about getting in touch with City B, perhaps there has been some bad news. Have my brother check into it, otherwise there will always be doubts in my heart.”

“Yes, sir!” His subordinate answered him crisply and turned to leave.
