Chapter 105
TL: Moonlit
Bei Ya rushed in hurriedly from outside.
Jiang Xin was discussing matters with the team members when he saw her barge in like that, furrowing his brow.
Bei Ya’s face was somewhat pale. “Yu Jinhui is dead. Do you know about it?”
Jiang Xin replied, “I know.”
Because he knew, he gathered the team members to discuss this matter.
Bei Ya’s face grew even paler. “Then do you know about Mi Yan and Luo Fengjue being rescued? Who are those two? They dared to kill Yu Jinhui. Will they trace it back to us?”
Jiang Xin signaled the team members to leave.
Once everyone had left, Jiang Xin said, “Didn’t you say they had no family or friends? So who rescued them?”
Bei Ya was extremely anxious. “How would I know? I asked them before, and they said they had no family because their base was destroyed, and they came to Central Mega City where they had no acquaintances. There’s no way anyone would rescue them!”
“But the fact is, they were rescued, and those two even killed Yu Jinhui! Moreover, despite the Sixth District deploying so many people, they couldn’t catch them. What does that tell you?”
Jiang Xin was filled with resentment towards Bei Ya. If the person who rescued Mi Yan and Luo Fengjue only wanted revenge on those involved, he could have easily pushed Bei Ya aside. Everything was done by Bei Ya, and it had nothing to do with him.
What he feared was that things might not be that simple.
Jiang Xin was particularly concerned about the voice of that person. Although they were wearing a mask and their voice was somewhat muffled, he was certain that he had heard that voice before, and it was very familiar.
He had a vague guess deep down, but he didn’t dare to confirm it or believe it. If it really was that person, then even pushing Bei Ya aside might not be enough to make things right. After all, they had unresolved issues in the past.
Jiang Xin held a glimmer of hope. “Didn’t you feel that the person who took Yu Jinhui away had a voice that sounded… like Wen Qingling?”
Bei Ya was stunned, her eyes widening, her complexion quickly draining of color, and she began to tremble.
Yes, that voice really did sound like Wen Qingling. If it was really him, then everything made sense. Mi Yan was originally Wen Qingling’s best and only friend in school. If Mi Yan was in trouble, there was no way Wen Qingling, as long as he was alive, wouldn’t save him.
Bei Ya trembled as she said, “If… if it really is Wen Qingling, then he… he won’t let us off… What should we do? Should we leave Central Mega City and hide?”
“Hide my ass! Are we going to feed the zombies if we go out to hide?”
Jiang Xin furrowed his brow, pondering. If that person really was Wen Qingling, what could he do to protect himself?
“Jiang Xin, can you promise me that you’ll protect me?” Bei Ya pleaded.
“Stop nagging! Let me think.” Jiang Xin paced back and forth, hesitating for a long time. Finally, he gritted his teeth. “Do you also think that voice sounds like Wen Qingling?”
Bei Ya vigorously nodded. “His voice is very pleasant. When we were in school, some girls even studied his voice, and people used to tease him that if he became a voice actor, regardless of his looks, his voice alone could captivate countless girls… I only felt it sounded familiar before, but I didn’t dare to think it was him. Now that you mention it, I’m sure that person is him.”
Jiang Xin’s gaze turned sinister. “If it really is Wen Qingling, then he won’t let us off. Instead of waiting for death, it’s better to take the initiative! Even if he’s formidable, can he be more formidable than the entire Sixth District?”
Nie Jiang’s methods were much more formidable than his son’s.
Bei Ya was nervous. “What… What do you plan to do?”
“If that person is really from Central Mega City, they won’t have no trace at all. Judging by their attempts to conceal their identity, they obviously don’t want people to know who they are. In that case, let’s help them,” Jiang Xin said with a sinister look.
If it was him, so be it. If it wasn’t him, Jiang Xin didn’t care about scheming against him again.
Bei Ya was tasked with exposing Wen Qingling’s identity. She wanted to confront Old Nie in person, but she didn’t have the status and dared not show herself. Following Jiang Xin’s plan, she intercepted a group of soldiers searching for someone on the road and told them the identity of the killer.
The soldier had no reaction to the name “Wen Qingling”. He scrutinized Bei Ya and asked, “Who are you? How can you be sure it’s this person?”
Bei Ya was very nervous. She was afraid that Wen Qingling would seek revenge on her and that the Nie family would hold her responsible. “I am his classmate. I was there in the crowd when I saw him take away Big Brother Hui. Although he was wearing a mask and hat, I recognized his voice and figure.”
Knowing the identity of the killer would make it easier to search for them. The soldier couldn’t ignore this information. He asked Bei Ya to accompany him to meet Nie Jiang. Bei Ya immediately panicked, “I won’t go. Don’t harm me. Wen Qingling is ruthless and cold-blooded. If he finds out that I exposed his identity, he will definitely kill me. Whether you believe it or not, if you don’t, just continue searching like this.”
After hurriedly speaking, Bei Ya turned and ran, disappearing into the crowd.
This important news, whether true or false, must be reported by the soldiers.
Old Nie is currently searching for his grandson in the entire district. Nie Hao has taken people to seek revenge on the person who killed his uncle. Although they don’t know where those two individuals are hiding, it doesn’t hinder their search for people.
Old Nie is worried about his safety and has been trying to find his grandson. But instead of finding his grandson, he received reports of information about the killer. When Old Nie heard the name “Wen Qingling,” he thought he was hallucinating.
While others may not know who Wen Qingling is, as one of the Seven Generals, he couldn’t possibly be unaware. Wen Qingling is known because he possesses something that can cure the zombie virus. Whether it’s Xiao Hen, Old Meng, or Yin Cheng who led the team, none of them were able to retrieve that item. In the end, Old Meng returned with only a few individuals who had antibodies, and the research has yet to yield any results.
The entire Central Mega City is eagerly awaiting the cure for the zombie virus. They have even developed energy weapons, but there is still no sign of the vaccine. More and more people are becoming disappointed with the Virus Research Institute, and the researchers are under immense pressure.
After Old Meng was forcibly sent back and Yin Cheng and his team sneaked back into Central Mega City, Yin proposed a clean-up of Ling City. However, the other six generals opposed it. Aside from the long distance, conducting a clean-up with personal revenge as the motive would not be supported by the other six generals.
Among them, General Xiao voiced the strongest opposition.
The incident in Ling City was first discovered by Xiao Hen, and he has been following up on it. Yin Cheng, who interfered in the First District, ended up empty-handed and returned with grievances, demanding revenge. Under these circumstances, Yin had no choice but to go himself. No one wanted to be the scapegoat, so they let him take care of it.
Yin couldn’t bear it. He wanted revenge for his grandson and also wanted to obtain the item in Wen Qingling’s hands. He had to send the First District’s armored convoy to Ling City. However, they were ambushed on the way, and everyone’s whereabouts are unknown. Yin Cheng’s life or death is uncertain. In his madness, Yin turned his attention to the Third District and vowed to fight the Xiao faction to the end.
Yin, who had lost his only grandson, had lost his sanity. Before he dispatched troops to Ling City, he didn’t expect Yin Cheng to return unscathed. Overjoyed, Yin found himself with spare resources to confront the Third District.
Until now, no one has been able to do anything to Ling City. The distance is simply too far, and the Third District has been suppressing and obstructing them. Until now, the coveted “item” has also not been obtained.
Old Nie couldn’t understand. Wen Qingling is far away in Ling City, so when did he come to Central Mega City?
Regardless of whether it’s true or false, this news must not be leaked. If it really is Wen Qingling, then it’s great. They can capture him and no longer worry about obtaining the item from him.
After contemplating for a long time, Old Nie ordered the news to be sealed, with strict instructions not to let any information leak. He also deployed additional manpower to search for the killer with full force.
Bei Ya and Jiang Xin couldn’t have imagined that their attempt to shift the Nie family’s grudge and scheme against Wen Qingling would escalate to such an uncontrollable level. What seemed like a small matter in the beginning has now become a disaster.
Central Mega City is not small, and Wen Qingling and Xiao Hen are burdened with two anomalies, making it impractical to travel on foot. They need to find a new vehicle.
As soon as they stepped out of the alley, they immediately attracted countless gazes.
Of course, it’s not because they had keen eyes for identifying the killer. The mutated ragdoll cat was just too eye-catching, making it difficult for people to ignore.
Wen Qingling walked confidently at the front, and Da Bai followed gracefully, ignoring all the curious glances.
Mi Yan felt uncomfortable as he sensed everyone’s eyes on him. Those gazes were all worshiping the big shot who dared to ride even a mutated beast. What else would he be afraid to ride?
Mi Yan whispered to Wen Qingling, “Lingzi, isn’t our target too conspicuous?”
Wen Qingling replied, “Do you want to go on your own?”
Mi Yan hesitated, wondering if that’s what he meant.
Wen Qingling added, “Also, please call me City Lord. Thank you.”
Mi Yan stuttered, “…”
Can he call himself County Lord?
Wen Qingling continued, “No, you can’t.”
Mi Yan asked, “You can call yourself City Lord, so why can’t I call myself Country Lord?”
Wen Qingling gave him a look that said he was acting foolishly, “I have a city, so I am legitimately the City Lord. Where is your country? Is it in a few square meters of basement?”
Mi Yan said, “…”
That hit hard!
Luo Fengjue expressed surprise, “Ling City?”
Wen Qingling nodded, “That’s right, Ling City is now renamed as Civilization City, my city.”
Mi Yan asked, “…????”
Luo Fengjue exclaimed, “…!!!!!!”
Luo Fengjue felt his knees weaken and wanted to worship the big shot!
Xiao Hen said, “It’s better to call him City Lord. Wen Qingling’s name might attract trouble here.”
Wen Qingling glanced at him, displeased with his statement. How could there be trouble with such a nice name?
Xiao Hen looked at Luo Fengjue and said to Wen Qingling, “Did you forget something?”
Wen Qingling paused and gave Xiao Hen a glance, refusing to admit that he had truly forgotten about Luo Fengjue.
Xiao Hen wanted to laugh, but Wen Qingling gave him a look that said, ‘Laugh, and you’ll be dead,’ so Xiao Hen forced himself to hold back.
Wen Qingling motioned for Luo Fengjue to come forward, and Luo Fengjue approached him. “What’s wrong?”
Wen Qingling cleared his throat. “Your father’s name is Luo Zhi, right?”
Luo Fengjue hadn’t fully recovered from the shock of Wen Qingling being a city lord, and now he had a head full of question marks. “Yes, what’s the matter?”
Wen Qingling said, “It’s not a big deal, but I accidentally picked up your father. He’s now in my subsidiary base.”
Luo Fengjue, whose father had turned into a zombie in his mind, exclaimed, “…”
Luo Fengjue was stunned for three seconds. “My father?!!!!!”
