Chapter 462.2 – Not Giving Li Yinqiang Face

Translator:Liu_Kaixuan

Currently, Jiang Liushi and his teammates were eating, but a voice came from outside and interrupted them, "Where is Captain Jiang?"

When the minibus' door was opened, Jiang Liushi appeared with a bowl of broth in hand. "Ding Yi? Do you still have to make sure of Li Yuxin's safety? Jiang Liushi asked in astonishment.

Ding Yi was in an awkward position. How could he still have the nerve to say that he could protect Li Yuxin? As a team leader under Eagle Squad, he had really lost their face.

"Protecting Miss Li is our bounden duty, but since this town is secure, our mission has come to a halt," Ding Yi explained, "I'm under Deputy Commander Li's orders to invite Captain Jiang to his temporary residence." Ding Yi seemed to have finally regained a little self-confidence.

"Deputy Commander Li? Li Yinqiang? What's up?" Jiang Liushi was even more puzzled.

"I don't know. Captain Jiang, please follow me," Ding Yi said.

"Well, I'll go with you." Jiang Liushi answered, "Ling, you are coming with me."

Although there should be no danger in the barracks, Jiang Liushi thought he should be more cautious after meeting Division Commander Wang as Starseed had detected unknown energy fluctuations coming from him.

"Brother Jiang, do you have any idea why Li Yinqiang is looking for you?" After sitting on a military SUV, Ling asked in a low voice.

"What do you think?" Jiang Liushi asked.

"Perhaps it had to do with the same matter that Leopard had to discuss with Lu Changfei. It must be related with the beast nest. Maybe they want to arrange some tasks for us in advance," Ling said.

It was not peculiar that the military had sent people to talk with Lu Changfei as they never ceased treasuring him, even after he left. Moreover, he was now injured, so Leopard and Division Commander Wang had gone to talk him in person. As for Jiang Liushi, Li Yinqiand had already asked him once to join his elite troops, and thus, it was not surprising that Li Yinqiang wanted to meet him.

"That's what I also think, but I want to know about the situation from him. I'm a little curious," Jiang Liushi said.

Li Yinqiang was the Deputy Commander of this mission. He was in a high position and knew more details than ordinary survivors. Although Jiang Liushi could only know about the general situation in the Xiayuan Security Zone, it also had a high reference value for him to judge the situation in other regions.

This terrible post-apocalyptic period was quite different from times of war or peace. Even if the radio could still be used, people knew little about the other regions. It was like driving a car in the dark. The passengers could only see the areas where the lights illuminated, but be it left or right, they couldn't see clearly. Unknown was the greatest fear.

Ding Yi was in the other car in front of them. And then, the two cars entered that temporary isolation strip, reaching the military's guard station. As a deputy commander, Li Yinqiang did not live in a separate dwelling but instead he had moved his bedroom to a temporary command post. From day to night, where the headquarters was always very busy.

Soldiers were coming in and going out, carrying urgent messages from and to the battlefield.

Li Yinqiang was sitting behind a table, showing a powerful bearing. All soldiers, who passed through his door, were affected by his imposing aura and involuntarily felt tense. Their backs were very straight out of fear that Li Yinqiang might find them sluggish. Ever since Li Yinqiang had come to the battlefield, he had been fighting in the frontlines. He had barely the time to rest. With such exuberant energy and aggressiveness; Li Yinqiang was admired by those soldiers.

On the sofa in front of Li Yinqiang, another person was sitting. That person was dressed in camouflage and had a fake cyclic eye, making him seem kind of terrifying. Ordinary people would definitely be horrified by his cyclic eye. However, when that person looked at Li Yinqiang, his good eye betrayed his admiration and respect.

"I've asked Ding Yi to find a team of survivors to work with you. Almost all the members of that team are paranormals. Be it mobility or fighting power, that team is very strong. Currently, we are unable to assign you with a team of soldiers, so the second best choice for you is to cooperate with survivors' teams," Li Yinqiang said.

After listening to Li Yinqiang, the one-eyed man's expression didn't change at all. "We will obey the Commander's order!"

"Well, although the survivors cooperated with us for the sake of benefits and rewards, they did play a significant role," Li Yinqiang added.

At that moment, Ding Yi came to the door excitedly, and then he shouted loudly, "Deputy Commander Li, I have already brought Captain Jiang with me." Only after Ding Yi's voice fell, he noticed the one-eyed man on the couch.

"Captain Luo, did you just come back from the front?" It was obvious that Ding Yi felt fear. However, that one-eyed man just looked at him without answering his question.

"Jiang Liushi is the captain of that team I was just talking about. Ding Yi brought them here for you to meet."

Soon, Jiang Liushi stepped into the room with Ling. The moment Jiang Liushi entered, he first noticed Li Yinqiang, and then the one-eyed man. In his mind, the small room was a place tigers and wolves gathered. Needless to say, Li Yinqiang was powerful and almost invincible. Even though Jiang Liushi had already competed against Lu Changfei, he still felt that Li Yinqiang was unfathomable. It seemed that Li Yinqiang was way stronger than Lu Changfei.

As for the one-eyed paranormal, even if he were not a level-2 paranormal, he would become one soon. He was out to kill, just like surviving from a mountain of swords and a sea of flames. Even if dressed neatly, he still gave people the feeling that he had killed many people.

"Captain Jiang, this is Luo Fei. Captain Luo is the captain of one of Eagle Guard's strongest teams. In Eagle Guard, only two teams can be said that they are the strongest," Li Yinqiang said.

"Captain Li, I wonder what I can do for you," Jiang Liushi asked directly.

"I think you should have already guessed, so I will tell you immediately. Some unexpected things happened in the beast nest we attacked, so we had to temporarily stop following the original combat plan. You probably know that our information about the situation in the beast was little. Moreover, the situation in each beast nest is different," Li Yinqiang explained.

"Some nests are occupied by mutant insects while others by beasts. But no matter what type of nest it is, they are all quite dangerous for us. Not long ago, we stumbled upon a troublesome matter, so I invited you to join us and cooperate with Captain Luo," Li Yinqiang continued and handed a document to Jiang Liushi.

Jiang Liushi looked down and read it carefully. At first, he looked calm, but gradually he frowned.

"Captain Luo will go to explore the beast nest, and we should protect him from another road?" Jiang Liushi asked.

"Yes, we could give you a very high task-reward and raise your team's rank. In the future, your team can receive very generous treatment in the Xiayuan Security Zone, which is similar to the elite teams of the military. One task can give you all those rewards. I think you should not have a reason to reject my offer. We need your help because we are short on soldiers," Li Yinqiang said.

"You have that minibus to keep you safe, so you will not face that many dangers in the beast nest," Li Yinqiang added.

"But…I have some more important matters, which need my full attention. And I'm not really interested in this mission," Jiang Liushi put down the document and said.

Actually, he made such a decision after reading that document carefully. The mission was more complex than it was described in the document.

Li Yinqiang looked at Jiang Liushi and revealed a queer look. "Why do you keep rejecting my offers one after the other!? I don't know what's important to you!"

This time Li Yinqiang had decided to find Jiang Liushi just because he had heard that Jiang Liushi was wild about completing missions. Never had he expected that Jiang Liushi would reject him again.

Jiang Liushi kept silent. If Li Yinqiang had asked him a few hours earlier, Jiang Liushi would offer his help and ask for the paranormals' level-2 evolution process in return. But now, it was useless for him to explain because he had already gotten the answer from Lu Changfei. As a result, he knew how he could help his sister.

"Well, I will find other teams. Ding Yi, you can lead Captain Jiang back," Li Yinqiang said coldly. As a deputy commander of this mission as well as a level-2 paranormal, Li Yinqiang was rejected by Jiang Liushi twice, so he wasn't willing to talk with Jiang Liushi anymore.

The one-eyed man was still sitting beside silently without saying any word all this time.

When Ding Yi sent Jiang Liushi and Ling out, Ding Yi couldn't help but look at Jiang Liushi. In his mind, Jiang Liushi was arrogant and conceited. This time Jiang Liushi had offended Li Yinqiang. Even if Li Yinqiang didn't care about it, it was only natural that some people would.

Whether they were people very loyal to Li Yinqiang, or those who wanted to please Li Yinqiang, all of them would like to punish Jiang Liushi.

"It might get a little troublesome later," said Jiang Liushi, who turned to see the headquarters.

Ling nodded.

"But it doesn't really matter. If we are not happy about staying here, we will leave at once," Jiang Liushi didn't worry about Ding Yi's thoughts at all.

"The mission did not seem as simple as he made it sound," Ling said suddenly.

Jiang Liushi nodded. The mission looked simple, but it was just a presentation. Jiang Liushi had fought with a mother beast, and he had learned some things about beast nests thanks to Ran Xiyu's shared spiritual vision. It was indeed possible for him to drive his minibus in, but it would be a problem for them to drive out. Li Yinqiang had actually wanted to use Shi Ying Squad as bait.

If Jiang Liushi distracted the mother beast and the large herd inside the beast nest, Luo Fei could complete his task. However, such tasks were challenging even to people like Luo Fei. Of course, Luo Fei just needed to report the situation of that beast nest inside. In other words, for Li Yinqiang or Luo Fei, completing that task was the only thing they needed to consider. They had left everyone else's life and death out of consideration. All those were Jiang Liushi's conjectures, and maybe the situation would be better. However, for Jiang Liushi and his team, it was a great risk.

"As soon as the blockade is over, we will return to the Xiayuan Security Zone," Jiang Liushi replied in a low voice.
