Chapter 495: I Happen to Need Something
Translator: Liu_Kaixuan Editor: Valvrave
Fan Yitong felt it was inconceivable! How could an ordinary survivor posses so many evolution crystals?
He Junhong and Sister Qian were also surprised by that sight. They could not help but wonder what Jiang Liushi's background was and if there was anything that he didn't possess. Be it a level-2 mutant blood nucleus or evolution crystals, he could take them out easily.
Jiang Zhuying was very proud of her brother. She looked down on Fan Yitong. Although Jiang Zhuying wasn't privy to the evolution crystals' secret, she simply didn't care to know about it. As long as her brother became stronger that was enough to make her happy.
"Haha, Captain Jiang, it seems that you do not lack treasures. How about Commander Lu? Captain Jiang has already taken his evolution crystals," Fan Yitong said excitedly.
Lu Tianyu replied in a low voice, "One evolution crystal."
Blood nuclei may be rare, but they were only useful to the military for research purposes. However, it was a different case for evolution crystals. The military had many paranormals amidst its ranks, all of whom needed evolution crystals. How could it be that easy to trade them with survivors?
"How about Captain Jiang?" Fan Yitong clapped his hands and grinned. He looked like a greedy wolf that had found a fat prey. He already knew that Jiang Liushi was hell-bent on acquiring the nucleus.
Jiang Liushi looked at Fan Yitong and said indifferently, "Two crystals."
Hearing Jiang Liushi's answer, Fan Yitong was exhilarated. And then he asked Lu Tianyu again, "Commander Lu if you are not generous, the blood nucleus may be given to Captain Jiang."
Lu Tianyu kept silent. After all, two evolution crystals had already exceeded the budget of the military. Lu Tianyu could do nothing else other than giving up.
Fan Yitong smiled and said to Jiang Liushi, "Good! The deal is closed! Since Captain Jiang was so bold and forthright, I'll follow your example." And then he laughed loudly.
He Junhong felt a heartache. Two evolution crystals for one blood nucleus? Fan Yitong had made a killing.
Lu Tianyu was also rendered speechless as he could not wrap his head around why Jiang Liushi wanted it so bad. Logically speaking, blood nuclei were useless for ordinary survivors.
"Let's exchange them as soon as possible!" Fan Yitong exclaimed.
'Snap!'
Two evolutionary crystals were placed on the table, and Fan Yitong's eyes shined, and he quickly tried to grab them."
"Stay your hand! Where is your blood nucleus?" Jiang Zhuying stopped him and asked.
"Haha, I will give it to Captain Jiang at once." Fan Yitong passed the mutant blood nucleus to Jiang Zhuying immediately.
"Brother, here you are!" Jiang Zhuying handed it to her brother just like passing a treasure.
As soon as Jiang Liushi touched it, Starseed sent him a notification, 'Level-2 mutant energy detected.'
Jiang Liushi was quite satisfied. He had already obtained two mutant blood nuclei, which meant that the upgrade's most difficult part had been completed.
Fan Yitong grabbed the two evolutionary crystals immediately. After sensing their energy, he smiled like a little kid. "Captain Jiang, it's my pleasure doing business with you!"
However, Fan Yitong could not help but momentarily stare at Jiang Liiushi's palm, in which several evolutionary crystals were lying before averting his gaze.
Lu Tianyu shook his head after seeing that scene. He wondered why Jiang Liushi was so self-conceited. A person that had revealed his treasure was liable to be attacked.
"I'd like to ask you something," Lu Tianyu suddenly said to Jiang Liushi, which left the latter a little bit surprised.
"From where did you get so many evolution crystals? Where did you come from?" Lu Tianyu asked.
Jiang Liushi remained calm after being questioned, but Fan Yitong felt scared. He also was wondering about the evolution crystals; origins. Generally speaking, it should be impossible for any ordinary survivors to get their hands on evolution crystals, and that many on top of that. Moreover, most people, if not all, would consume them the soonest possible. How was could Jiang Liushi have collected six of them?
'Why did Lu Tianyu ask such a question?' Fan Yitong wondered. After some thinking, he felt that he had nothing to worry about since he had acquired the crystals through a transaction. Meanwhile, he wanted to rob Jiang Liushi's remaining crystals.
"I don't think I'm obliged to answer," Jiang Liushi replied calmly.
"Yes, why should my brother tell you!?" Jiang Zhuying frowned. If anyone wanted to pry into her brother's secrets, she would adopt a vigilant stance.
Lu Tianyu's expression changed. He didn't expect that Jiang Liushi would be so arrogant. In his eyes, survivor teams were disorderly mobs that would collapse at the first blow. Hejiang Town was also infested by such teams, so how could he have any respect for them?
As for Jiang Zhuying, Lu Tianyu would not get angry with a little girl.
Fan Yitong tried to mediate between the two parties, "Commander Lu, it's not proper to inquire about someone else's belongings."
"Don't forget that all Safety Zones are under the military's control. If your evolution crystals have to do anything with other Safety Zones, I will have to get to the bottom of this matter and deal with them," Lu Tianyu said in a low voice.
"Commander Lu, don't forget that Hejiang Town belongs to us, survivors. Although Commander Lu is powerful, it would be better for you not to mess with Hejiang Town and its affairs," Fan Yitong coughed and said.
"Are you threatening me?"Lu Tianyu asked angrily.
"No, what do you say..." Fan Yitong laughed and tried to smooth things.
Lu Tianyu smiled coldly and said, "Good!" He glanced at Jiang Liushi, but he was glared by Jiang Zhuying.
"What are you looking at? Didn't you hear what he said?" Jiang Zhuying said unceremoniously.
Fan Yitong was also depressed by Jiang Zhuying's words. He had already annoyed Lu Tianyu, but did that girl have to pour oil on the fire? He was determined to make Jiang Liushi pay the losses caused by his sister back with interest.
At this moment, Jiang Liushi spoke while playing with the evolutionary crystals in his hand, "If that's the case, then I feel relieved."
Fan Yitong smiled and thought that Jiang Liushi was a naïve young man.
'How can he be this gullible?' Fan Yitong felt that if he didn't play any tricks on Jiang Liushi later, he would lose the chance of a lifetime.
"Captain Jiang, you are my valued guest. If you need anything, you can tell me, and I'll do my utmost best to satisfy you."
"That's excellent. I happen to need something." Jiang Liushi smiled.
"Captain Jiang, I'm all ears," Fan Yitong said directly.
"Your head!" Jiang Liushi replied while pulling out his gun and aiming the black muzzle at Fan Yitong's head.
"You have a death wish!" Fan Yitong screamed suddenly. And then he flipped the marble table in front of him, separating him from Jiang Liushi.
'Bang!'
A loud sound echoed throughout the restaurant, and Jiang Liushi jumped back.
"Ah!" The waitresses screamed, and Fan Yitong's subordinates raised their guns and started to shoot.
"What to do!" Lu Tianyu had reacted for the first time, and he quickly led all his members to the side.
Sister Qian was also scared and screamed. Fortunately, she was pulled aside in time by He Junhong.
He Junhong was also shocked as he did not expect that Jiang Liushi would actually attack Fan Yitong.
Jiang Zhuying just hid behind the pillars. She didn't need guns. As long as she raised her hands, flickering electric currents would appear in her palms. No matter who she was dealing with, they would let out anguished screams and fall to the ground the moment her attacks hit them.
"Powerful!" Lu Tianyu shouted.
At first, he had considered Jiang Zhuying as Fan Yitong's subordinate, but it seemed he was totally wrong. She was Jiang Liushi's teammate! No wonder why the young man acted so arrogantly. However, Jiang Liushi's action had also left an impact on Lu Tianyu's mind. He could clearly see that Jiang Liushi only needed to sway his body slightly and shoot without even looking at his opponents. And every single time, his arbitrary shots would kill someone. In a very short period of time, Jiang Liushi had killed several people without breaking a sweat.
Although Jiang Zhuying was a level-2 paranormal with a frightening ability, she couldn't harness its true potential without a place to cover from bullets. No matter how strong she was, her body couldn't stop bullets.
Lu Tianyu was surprised, and he wondered why he couldn't sense any energy fluctuations from Jiang Liushi. At the same time, he was impressed by his god-like marksmanship. It seemed as if he could read his opponents' thought, and his every shot harvested a person's life.
"F*ck!" Fan Yitong was depressed by how powerful Jiang Liushi was, and by the fact that he was losing his subordinates one by one without even having the chance to fight back. It was mind-blowing!
However, the restaurant was his territory, and as a scheming individual, how could Fan Yitong have only brought the present subordinates?
Suddenly, a hail of bullets greeted came from the pavilion, and the tiles above it fell down. Jiang Liushi quickly glanced upward and saw a dozen more figures from the window upstairs.
At that moment, two figures suddenly jumped out of the window, falling directly above the pavilion like dexterous apes while punching heavily.
'Boom!'
Bricks flew in every direction, and Fan Yitong's two subordinates appeared from the debris.
"You think you sneak attack is going to work!?" Jiang Zhuying appeared like a ghost before the two. And then, she reached out to grab at the two men, and immediately two electrical nets wrapped around them. The electric light flashed in the air.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Jiang Liushi raised his muzzle and fired at the top. Several figures fell immediately from the window, and blood splashed on the glass window. The sneak attack not only failed, but Jiang Liushi killed even more of Fan Yitong's subordinates.
"Persevere for a while! Reinforcements are on the way!" Fan Yitong shouted.
Hejiang Town was not big, so the gunshots should have attracted his allies. Moreover, Jiang Liushi and Jiang Zhuying may be fierce, but they were restrained to the pavilion.
"It's not easy to beat Fan Yitong." Lu Tianyu looked at Jiang Liushi and shook his head as he was standing in a safe place with his members. He finally understood why Jiang Liushi said that he felt relieved earlier. Since the military would not mess with them, Jiang Liushi could fight against Fan Yitong worry-free.
However, in his mind, Jiang Liushi was too self-confident for himself. It was impossible for Jiang Liushi to kill all of Fan Yitong's subordinates with just his sister. Moreover, once their bullets were used up, they would lose their fighting ability at once. Although Fan Yitong's sneak attack ended up in failure, it had still deterred them moving freely and constrained them to an area which was hard to protect against bullets.
Unexpectedly, at that moment, Fan Yitong seemed to have heard a strange sound. He turned his head suddenly to see what happened. Just then, a huge sense of crisis overwhelmed him. At the same time, Lu Tianyu also noticed something amiss and slammed his head toward the wall behind Fan Yitong.
"BOOM!"
An ear-shattering sound reverberated through the area and then masonry collapsed, while the wall seemed to have been pushed down by a massive force. The devastating force instantly affected the subordinates of Fan Yitong that were closest to the wall and sent them flying like pieces of paper toward their companions. Those people did not even have the chance to scream before turning to bloody paste and chunks of meat.
The ground seemed to have been plowed by a giant beast!
Lu Tianyu's expression changed dramatically, and he looked incredulously at the white object that appeared from the collapsed wall. As the dust spread out, the white object's true appearance was also revealed. It was the front face of a minibus, which was facing the yard coldly!
