Chapter 14: Who Is the Traitor?
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Ado didn’t expect that Wu Chang would kindly remind them to avoid the man-eating clan. In addition, he had always thought that Wu Chang was just scaring them. After all, this place was still very far from the stone obelisk forest. Theoretically speaking, they hadn’t reached the native territory of the man-eating clan.
However, Wu Chang had taught everyone a lesson today. As long as he was around, anything was possible.
In an instant, countless thoughts flashed through Ado’s mind. Ever since Wu Chang appeared, the abandoned mining area had never stopped. Not only was there a conflict last time, but there were also top-grade crystals that were unearthed one after another. All of this proved that it was possible for anything to happen when Wu Chang was around. No wonder everyone called him Ghost Wu Chang.
Not to mention today, Wu Chang said that there were man-eating clans, and a group of them really came.
“Fire, everyone fire…” Ado was the first to squat on the ground, the assault rifle in his hand flashing with energy. The hitmen behind him didn’t dare to hesitate, and stretched the barrels to both sides to fire at the same time.
The narrow mine could only accommodate three killers firing at the same time. However, even if three assault rifles fired at full auto, they would not be able to form a dense firepower net. They were really useless against Wu Chang, who had strange movement techniques.
Wu Chang had once been a mercenary. During that period, he had played with guns a lot. Although the gunpowder guns on Earth were different from the high-energy bullet guns in this world, there was one thing that he had figured out. They all had the same trajectory. As long as you were fast enough, you could still dodge.
Fortunately, Wu Chang’s movement technique was definitely fast enough. In that earthquake, Wu Chang could even run faster than a seismic wave with Parker on his shoulder, let alone now.
In addition, Wu Chang was very proficient in the ways of seeking advantages and avoiding disadvantages on the battlefield. He knew how to exchange a small injury for a serious injury, or even a fatal injury. Sure enough, when Wu Chang’s left ribs and the outside of his right leg were grazed by two energy beams, he had already rushed in front of Ado.
“Get lost.” Wu Chang raised his hand and slapped Ado’s mask, knocking him to the ground. Immediately after, Wu Chang scuttled up the stone wall on the side, and actually crawled over like a gecko, quickly disappearing behind the team.
The dumbfounded hitmen had never seen such a strange movement technique before. Before they could understand it, Wu Chang had already disappeared.
For some reason, when Wu Chang was injured by Ado and the others, the charging man-eating clansmen actually roared together. It seemed that they were very angry, probably angry that these people had touched their food.
“Oh my God…” The killers in the team let out a terrifying shout before turning around and running. They had no choice but to run. If a team of 12 men wanted to fight against 60 members of the man-eating clan, then they would be completely delusional.
If the first one escaped, there would be a second one. Ado couldn’t hold on any longer. When he saw the three rows of sharp teeth in the man-eating clan’s members’ big mouths, his last bit of courage to resist disappeared.
“I don’t want to be eaten. I don’t want to become a pile of feces in the stone obelisk forest…” Ado, who had lost his rationality, opened fire. However, his target was actually the killers behind him.
“Make way, make way quickly.” A full magazine of bullets opened up an escape route. Ado was indeed worthy of being a stage-one martial artist. His escape speed was not much slower than Wu Chang’s.
The swarming man-eating clansmen vented all their anger on the injured killers. The black thugs tore these injured people apart alive, and continued to charge forward as they stuffed fresh meat into their mouths.
Just like with army ants passing by the corpses of small animals, the seven or eight injured hitmen turned into white skeletons in just a moment. There was not a trace of meat left on them.
At this point, three teams of hitmen that Ado had brought with him had already been destroyed, and the remaining two parties had already understood the current serious situation from the intercom. After thinking about it, they also chose to retreat.
Three hours later, when the exhausted Ado came out of the mine tunnel with the remnants of his army, he was greeted by a loud slap and a huge fist.
“Trash, you’re trash. The money I spent on you was spent worse than on raising a few hellhounds.” The enraged Aardwolf Saywen kicked Ado to the ground, and went up to beat him up.
“Stop fighting, Boss, please don’t get too angry. We have encountered a group of man-eating clan, there were over 100 of them…”
“Bullsh*t, you haven’t even reached the stone obelisk forest, how can there be any man-eating clan?”
At this moment, the escaping hitmen also came over, and knelt on the ground to plead, “It’s true. We really didn’t lie to you. Why don’t you take a look at George’s arm? Other than the mouth of the man-eating clan, who else can make such a wound?”
Saywen walked over, and carefully identified the bloody wound. After looking at it for a long time, he confirmed that the man was bitten by the man-eating clan.
‘Damn it, are the dirty rats telling the truth this time? Is that Wu Chang really Ghost Wu Chang?’
Seeing Saywen’s expression lighten, Ado quickly crawled over and hugged his thigh. “Boss, it’s not that I didn’t want to work hard, but there were really too many man-eating clan members. If my terminal hadn’t been lost halfway, I could have let you watch the video. I really have a video.”
Saywen shook his head. “Forget it, let’s leave it at that. These bastards didn’t die in our hands, but dying in the hands of the man-eating clan isn’t bad, either…”
“That’s right, Boss is wise!” The crowd immediately cheered.
Just as the people on the surface were rejoicing that they had escaped, Wu Chang, who was injured in the underground mine, was struggling to move southwards. He had already taken three tunnels and four forks. If not for his exceptional memory, he might have already lost his way.
Wu Chang shook off the hitmen and man-eating clan, and simply sprayed some first-aid aerosol on his wound. It took him two hours to see the signs left by Boss Pann and the others. After a while, Wu Chang finally met up with them.
“What’s wrong?” Lion saw the blood on Wu Chang’s shoulder, and quickly helped him sit down. Then, everyone came over.
“Light another emergency light. I’m a little cold…” Wu Chang heaved a sigh of relief.
Parker obediently inserted three emergency lights into the rock wall. When the lights and heat appeared at the same time, the paleness on Wu Chang’s face finally improved a lot.
“Good news and bad news. Which one do you want to hear first?”
“Good news, I want to hear good news,” the thief, A’yun, quickly requested.
“The good news is that Ado and the others have already retreated, and they’ve retreated in a great hurry. They’re not trying to deceive us.”
“What about the bad news?” Boss Pann asked.
“Bad news?” Wu Chang smiled bitterly, and said, “There is a nest of man-eating clan living nearby. It seems that there are more than 60 of them…”
“Ah?” everyone exclaimed when they heard that, especially Ground Mouse Parker. He cried on the spot. “I don’t want to die. I really don’t want to die. No, no, no. I’d rather be smashed to death by an earthquake than die in the mouths of the man-eating clan.” After saying that, Parker jumped up and wanted to escape.
The dirty old man, Lion, was so angry that his nose was crooked. He stretched out his leg and tripped Parker, causing him to fall to the ground.
“Are you crazy? You’ll die faster if you go out alone. Only by staying together can we survive.” Lion pulled Parker up and scolded him.
At this moment, Aileen said, “Wu Chang, I can tell that you’re a capable person. Now, tell us what to do? I believe you.”
Wu Chang smiled bitterly, and said, “You believe me? I’m afraid you won’t say that in a while.” Wu Chang took a sip of water, and moistened his throat.
“The most important thing now is to dig out the mole among us. Otherwise, Saywen will find everyone sooner or later.”
“Ah?” Everyone was astonished. “That’s impossible. Everyone here has been friends for many years. There can’t be a problem, right?”
Wu Chang didn’t care about anyone else. He just stared at the thief, A’yun, and said coldly, “Stop hiding it. Do you think you can still keep it secret?”
Wu Chang’s words stunned everyone present, especially Aileen, who was furious. She hid A’yun behind her, and stared at Wu Chang like a mother hen protecting her chick.
“What did you say? You said that A’yun betrayed everyone. Are you crazy?”
Wu Chang shook his head. “A’yun, do you know what betrayed you? Actually, you’ve already aroused my suspicion when you pestered me to learn my skills.
“I’ve shown you a total of 12 tricks to hide gold coins, but you haven’t found a single one. Do you think you can fool my eyes? I clearly observed that five times, your peripheral vision had already shot to the correct position. Although it didn’t even take half a second, you can’t fool me.
“Also, take a look at this.” With that, Wu Chang threw a portable terminal over. It was the one he had stolen from Ado.
“Explain to me, why did your identity tag appear in his terminal? Why is our terminal switched off, but yours is in standby mode?”
These words were like a thunderclap that made everyone present speechless. Aileen, who was at a loss, pulled A’yun out from behind her, and snatched the terminal from his wrist.
As expected, the terminal was really in standby mode.
“Oh God, oh God, oh God! This terminal was my gift to you for your 10th birthday. It cost me 20 gold coins. I never expected that the gift I gave you back then would actually become a tool for you to betray me…” Aileen couldn’t continue. She raised her hand and slapped A’yun hard. Then, she covered her face and cried.
Since even Aileen admitted it, it was a done deal. Parker, who was extremely depressed, seemed to have suddenly found an outlet for his emotions. He rushed over, grabbed A’yun’s collar, and pressed him against the rock wall.
“Beast, you’re a little beast. Why are you doing this to us? Aileen treated you like a son. How could you betray her?
“Do you know that Aileen and I have already saved up a total of 50 rainbow coins? We were about to renovate the Delivery Center. Our dreams were about to come true, but you ruined everything for us…”
With tears in his eyes, Parker slapped A’yun four times. Then, he squatted on the ground and wailed, “My money, my dream…”
Boss Pann and Bullhead were also furious, especially since Bullhead’s life was saved by Aileen. He couldn’t see Aileen sad. Bullhead drew the pistol on his waist, and pressed it against A’yun’s temple.
“Give me an explanation, immediately…”
A’yun also cried. He didn’t know where he got the strength from, but he actually mustered enough strength to howl.
“What can I do? What can I do? I’ve found my biological mother. She’s already under the control of Blood Rose. That’s my biological mother. How can I watch her be beaten to death…”
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone present was shocked.
“You didn’t lie to us? You really found your biological mother? Are you sure you aren’t mistaken?”
