Chapter 91
Three people had thus evaporated from the human world without any trace left behind. Even if they used to be the top ability users in the prison, the manager would only ask a time or two about them before forgetting about them. Before the advent of the apocalypse, some people would disappear inexplicably every so often. After the apocalypse, the value of human life was not as important as grains of rice or biscuits. This was reality...
Father Gong doesn’t know that when his son left, he caused that incident. Of course, Father Gong didn’t ask what he did and simply greeted him with a small nod and Young Master Gong wouldn’t take the initiative to admit it either. When the rabbit-like Young Master Gong was taken back to the hall by the guards, the negotiations were coming to an end. Father Gong exchanged the right to stay on Long Snake Island with ten helicopters, five armoured vehicles and five-car filled with arms.
On the same day, the arms were handed over. At the same time, Father Gong took nearly two thousand people to live in the originally female side of the prison. Now, he had become the abandoned Eastern District’s supervisor and won several large farms for his people to cultivate. Of course, the seeds still needed to be provided by them and part of the food production had to be paid to the prison management.
The conditions seemed to be harsh, but Gong family had asked for autonomy while in Long Snake Island and they didn’t need to be work under Long Snake Island ability users. The slaves there, although their days were harder than they were originally, it was not that difficult. After seeing the tragic life of ordinary people on Long Snake Island, the people had a sense of identity and belonging to their team. They were loyal to Young Master Gong and were thankful they weren’t dead...
Ordinary people didn’t even enter the eyes of Bao Long and Kang Zengyuan. They were ant-like existence. These two didn’t care about them when they left, but couldn’t help but pay attention to their group. They both thought about how to absorb this new power for their own use. Therefore, after half a month, Father Gong was asked to dismantle the original eight ability user teams and disperse the ability users to the six major teams on Long Snake Island. Only when these people were broken up will they have the opportunity to break through them and pull individuals into their own power.
Father Gong had no objection and would immediately declare the order to disband the teams. Bao Long and Kang Zhengyuan wanted to split them and integrate them into their own teams, like tigers waiting to eat the swallows. They also wanted to see if they had anyone with real skills. These people were loyal to the son and thus, the father was not afraid of their attempt as they didn’t know what was coming at them. Who was the tiger and who was the swallow ready to be eaten was still left to be seen.
Each group was very calm and accepted the order and the two factions selected people for their camps. Bao Long and Kang Zhengyuan were very satisfied and felt that it was a very wise decision to accept the Gong family...
However, Father Gong didn’t think that, according to his words, every team disbanded, but his son didn’t agree and took his team members and came to the door to talk with him.
Looked at his youngest child with a stubborn expression, Father Gong felt old and felt like he was about to get a headache. The headache in question was related to Bao Long and Kang Zhengyuan also being in his office and they were both looking at his son with a look of inquiry.
"Your son is also an ability user? What level? What system?" Kang Zhengyuan asked in amazement as he interrupted the conversation between father and son.
"Strength system, second-level middle-grade." Father Gong smiled and threw out their originally planned answer.
A second-level ability user was not a low level, but if it’s a strength ability user, they weren’t as good as second-level low-grade of other departments. Gong Yuanhang’s son was no different in this matter, so Kang Zhengyuan was secretly relieved.
Strength system? Haha, it’s just what he wanted, playing with him won’t be too bad! Bao Long’s eyes brightened and emitted an evil light. But right now, the Gong family had just entered the island and Gong Yuanhang’s position had not been solidified. Right now, it was not time to provoke any trouble and it wouldn’t be too late to act after completely disintegrating Gong family’s forces. Such a beautiful youth was worth waiting for!
Thinking of this, Bao Long pressed his desire down, sighed and said with a helpless tone, "Young Master Gong, you first introduce me to the strength of your team. I will be responsible for helping you arrange a good place for you and your team members so that you aren’t separated."
Gong Lixin didn’t answer and looked at Father Gong. Father Gong quickly waved his hand and helped his son to answer the other’s words. "His teammates are not that strong. These two are wood ability users", Father Gong said as he pointed at Luo Dahai and Wei Guo. "These two are fire ability users, these two are ice ability users, these two are wind ability users, this one is an earth ability user, this one is a strength ability user, this one’s a space ability user and these two are not ability users, but ordinary people." Father Gong pointed to Le Jia, Ma Jun, Sun Jie and others and briefly introduced them.
If they didn’t see it in person, Father Gong’s simple use of the words "not strong ability users" would definitely cause Kang Zhengyuan and Bao Long to doubt. However, the fourteen people who stood there vividly explained the true meaning of the words "like a crowd of birds, they won’t amount to much".
Five of the fourteen people were weak women, two were ordinary people who had no ability, one was a useless space ability user with no fighting power and there was even a child who was barely two-digit old. Looking at this group of ’old and young people’, Kang Zhengyuan and Bao Long’s eyes twitched. The heart of Young Master Gong was really that of a young master to be able to pick these people!
However, this was also in line with Bao Long’s goal. If the strength was great, there would be no value in his actions. Let them join part of his group to sell his face and please the beauty! Bao Long thought so and smiled while he said, "Their strength is indeed weak, but it doesn’t matter. I will help you arrange a strong team to go in. You will accumulate some combat experience and crystal nucleus and will be able to advance sooner or later." When his words fell, he looked at the guard standing at the door and ordered, "Go and call Tan Mingyuan and let him meet his new team members."
The guard promised and soon led in Tan Mingyuan. Tan Mingyuan was the most powerful subordinate of Bao Long, a second-level high-grade metal ability user. Although he and Kang Zhengyuan were at the same level, Kang Zhengyuan’s earth ability belonged to a defensive system. His metal ability belonged to an attack system, so his strength was still above Kang Zhengyuan and he was the second-ranked ability user in the base. By letting him take over such a pile of ’waste wood’, it was obvious that Bao Long was really trying to please the beauty.
Tan Mingyuan was not tall, but because of many battles inside the prison, his physical ability was very strong and his ordinary five senses were also sharp. He had a knife cut across the bridge of his nose as well. After seeing his new team members, the knife mark ached, and although his heart was extremely reluctant but because of Bao Long’s ruthless means, he didn’t dare to refuse. He took the group to go meet the other team members.
From time to time, he looked at Gong Lixin’s exquisite and perfect looks. Tan Mingyuan knew that Bao Long must have been fascinated by this young master. In the future, he wouldn’t be the bodyguard of this young master, but rather the nanny that ensured that he didn’t die before Bao Long succeeded. When he thought of this, he saw Gong Lixin taking a lollipop from his pocket and started licking it. Tan Mingyuan’s face was black and the people behind him also had a weak expression.
Gong Lixin’s team members seemed arrogant, but in fact, they were secretly observing Tan Mingyuan Seeing the look he gave Young Master Gong, they sneered. After the secret was out, you will then know what’s truly unappealing.
There were a bunch of pedestrians walking in different directions and eventually, their group met a group of ’slaves’ who were exhausted after a day of work. Of course, they were not real slaves. Under the huge difference of power, they were loyal to the strong, thus the strong let them live; they talked back, the strong let them die, so how was their status different from slaves from the ancient era?
The slaves were ragged, yellow and thin with various farming tools in their hands. They saw Tan Mingyuan and quickly lowered their heads to hide their treacherous expression and their pace had also become much lighter. The guard with a whip in his hand was responsible for supervising the group of slaves and when he saw the other’s group, he quickly went forward to say hello. He and Tan Mingyuan were old acquaintances and they both stood around and chatted.
Right then, among the group of slaves with their head lowered was a tall man who slowly raised his head and decided to look at Gong Lixin. He had neat and short hair and his face was not very handsome, but his eyes were dark and inky, making those bottomless eyes look very charming, which made his face instantly full of personality and unforgettable.
Gong Lixin’s round, cat-like eyes licked the lollipop in his hand and stared back. Just then, Gong Xiangyi also happened to pass by and was also attracted by the man who stood out from the crowd with a surprised expression on her face.
She had spent more than three years in Long Snake Island Prison in her last life. Forget what everyone knows, she knew all the powerful ability users now and in the future. Among them, this man was the most impressive one.
The man named Dou Heng was a killer before coming to the prison. He was cultivated as an assassin by a certain family with the surname Tao from an early age. Besides killing, it could be said that he knew nothing else, but he was the only assassin that had lasted so long. He was the sharpest knife in the family, but because his blade was too good, no one was able to match up with him nor catch him. Therefore, when the family’s head was replaced, Dou Heng was taken for granted and sent to Long Snake Island Prison for the rest of his lifetime.
An assassin, staying in prison for the rest of his days, was not a sad existence. Not long after he came in, he became the leader of a faction and no one dared to provoke him. However, in the apocalypse, because he had no ability, he immediately fell from the clouds into the mud and became a slave. It was because he used to be too strong, too high up and thus became the most vulnerable to being bullied. In the past, those who feared him had now the power to humiliate him and used various cruel methods to do so endlessly.
If it was only that, Dou Heng, who was one of the lowest members of the base, couldn’t be able to enter Gong Xiangyi’s eyes. However, it’s hard to imagine that this ordinary person suddenly awakened and became an unbeatable high-level thunder ability user.
It could be imagined that the people who beat him up at that time all died in a thunderous thunderstorm. Even Bao Long and Kang Zhengyuan, who both came to the field to rescue their people was not his opponent. They became seriously injured and were on the verge of dying on the spot. Several followers of the two men that had followed them there also had died. Dou Heng killed anyone who entered his eyes, even civilians weren’t be let off. On Long Snake Island, corpses could be seen everywhere and the blood flowed like a river. Song Haoran and Lin Wenbo heard the news and joined forces with all the ability users on the base to kill him. It was precisely because of this incident that Song Haoran and Lin Wenbo entered the base and successfully took control over it. Otherwise, they would still be struggling with Kang Zhengyuan, who had already been a third-level middle-grade at that time.
Such a strong person in the future, should she try to win him over? Gong Xiangyi indulged in the thought for a moment before she eventually retreated. Dou Heng was too crazy, too paranoid and was a sharp, double-edged sword. If one didn’t grasp it well, it would hurt others. After so many setbacks, Gong Xiangyi had long lost her confidence and anger at the beginning of her rebirth. She knew that with her ability, she couldn’t control Dou Heng and would instead, end up being hurt by him in the future. So it was better not to provoke him.
Thinking up until there, Gong Xiangyi laughed at herself and prepared to retract her gaze from Dou Heng. However, she suddenly widened her eyes and witnessed the horror. Then the horror became a sort of schadenfreude. Gong Lixin had taken a lollipop from his pocket and handed it over to Dou Heng.
Gong Xiangyi squinted her eyes and smiled, ready to see Gong Lixin get rejected. Others don’t know, but she knew very well. Dou Heng could only be described with one word, that is ’independence’. Even if dust entered his eyes, Dou Heng would never bend down to accommodate others. He never helped others, he would only get beaten but would never let anyone defend him, nor would he accept other people’s charity.
If Gong Lixin got on Dou Heng’s bad side, what would happen? Who would live and who would die? Or would both be hurt? As those thoughts crossed her mind, Gong Xiangyi’s heart leapt excitedly and even her fingertips shook with excitement.
