Chapter 619: Liang Yue’s Question
Zhang Yi didn’t hesitate—he decided to head to Blizzard City. If his strength was needed this ti, then as long as he could keep himself safe, he wouldn’t sit on the sidelines.
At the very least, he had to make sure those Ronin were wiped out completely before he could feel at ease.
Otherwise, from this day forward, there would be no peace for this land.
Where there’s a first batch, there’s bound to be a second, and a third.
Once a crack opens, the surrounding powers who had long been eyeing the continent’s resources would swarm in like locusts.
Whether from a sense of duty or out of personal interest, he had to go.
Zhu Zheng didn’t ask Zhang Yi to bring all of Tianhai City’s elite forces.
After all, each city still needed so strength left for defense.
But after giving it so thought, Zhang Yi decided to bring a few people along—just for safety.
If anything happened, it’d be easier to work with his own people.
So he gathered everyone in the Shelter’s living room.
“Of the ten superhuman organizations sent by the twelve outer cities, all were wiped out by Moon of Corrosion. Now that the Jiangnan District has summoned , I plan to take two people with .”
Zhang Yi pointed at Liang Yue.
“Liang Yue.”
No one was surprised. Right now, within the Shelter, Liang Yue was the second strongest after Zhang Yi.
Although her ability was a regular Enhancent Type, she was a formidable Martial Arts Master to begin with, so her combat power was exceptional.
Just as everyone was wondering who the second pick would be, Zhang Yi picked up Hua Hua.
“As for the second one... of course it’s Hua Hua.”
Unexpected, yet sohow perfectly reasonable.
Hua Hua’s combat strength was probably on par with Liang Yue’s.
Uncle You furrowed his brows and pointed to himself.
“Zhang Yi, what about us? You planning to ditch us and face danger on your own this ti?”
“This is about the honor of our nation. As a retired soldier, there’s no way I can just stand by and do nothing!”
Fatty Xu hesitated for a mont, then clenched his fist and said, “We’ve always faced our problems together. This ti, we want to help you too!”
Zhang Yi stroked Hua Hua’s silky fur, a gentle smile softening his expression.
“I appreciate your loyalty! But this is war, not so brotherhood ga!”
“The ten superhuman teams sent in the first wave were each about as strong as Tianhai City’s base force. All of them were led by Delta-level superhuman leaders!”
“Even with such massive strength, they were all wiped out by the Ronin. You think you guys can handle those Neon Nation freaks?”
Zhang Yi’s calm gaze swept across Uncle You and the others.
Uncle You’s expression dimd.
His superhuman level was only Gamma, LV3, and in past battles he mainly acted as a tank.
But as Zhang Yi’s strength soared and Liang Yue and Hua Hua rapidly grew through Devouring abilities, his role in the team beca less significant.
That made him feel a bit guilty.
Fatty Xu didn’t take it too hard. He’d always been the laid-back type, and on the battlefield, his role was more about control than fighting.
If he didn’t have to fight, he’d be thrilled.
He was totally chill with it—if the boss didn’t want him to go, he wouldn’t.
Zhang Yi noticed Uncle You’s disappointnt and, after a brief pause, changed his tone.
“This ti, we’re just going over to check out the situation in Linhai City. If we end up needing backup, I’ll get in touch and have you guys co over.”
That was indeed Zhang Yi’s plan for the three major bases.
Even though they’d fallen, so powerful superhumans still survived.
Especially Xing Tian and Xiao Honglian—both had Delta-level strength.
Still, unless it was absolutely necessary, he preferred to keep them guarding Tianhai City, just in case anything happened.
But to Uncle You, he was just offering so comfort.
No need to say too much.
Among adult n, too much consolation only hurts the ego.
Uncle You’s eyes lit up again.
“Alright, then you’d better rember to call when the ti cos!”
Zhang Yi smiled faintly. “I will.”
“Why do I get the feeling this mission is gonna be super dangerous?”
Zhou Ke’er sat by Zhang Yi’s side, her pretty brows furrowed in worry.
“Are those enemies really that scary? Didn’t they say it was only thirteen people?”
Zhang Yi silently shook his head.
“I don’t have any info on them at all, so there’s nothing to say right now. But I’m sure that after this battle, Jiangnan District will definitely have collected data on them.”
“We’ll know once we get there!”
Zhou Ke’er clung tightly to his arm, her soft body pressed against him. She sighed lightly and said, “Another fight... I’m really worried sothing might happen to you.”
At this point, Zhang Yi had beco the backbone of the whole Shelter.
With him around, everyone could live peacefully.
No one wanted anything to happen to him.
Zhang Yi smiled gently, wrapping an arm around her waist and enjoying the feel of her alluring figure.
After awakening her powers and modifying her body using her Doctor ability, she had the perfect proportions. The feel in his hand was unreal.
“Don’t worry. I know exactly what I’m doing.”
“I live by one principle—if I thrive, I’ll help the world; if I struggle, I’ll protect myself. I’ll act with caution and won’t play the hero.”
“Besides, this mission is led by Jiangnan District. Their investigation team will be the main force—we’re just there to assist.”
After a brief explanation, Zhang Yi geared up and prepared to depart.
Once he coordinated with Lan Xincheng, the Blizzard City express would co pick him up.
Soon after, he and the fully equipped Liang Yue drove off in the Snow Vehicle.
Once the engine started, Zhang Yi sent ssages to Xing Tian, Xiao Honglian, and Chen Jingguan, letting them know about the situation in Linhai City.
He also told them to be ready to assist at any ti.
There’s no way Zhang Yi would be risking his life at the front while the others kicked back and relaxed.
No way he’d allow that.
Up front, Zhang Yi made a few calls while calmly reminding the others to stay alert while he was away.
Even though the superhumans in Daze City had been completely wiped out, it didn’t an the other cities would behave.
Of course, the first thing Zhang Yi planned to do upon arriving in Blizzard City was get Zhu Zheng to guarantee that no forces would ss with Tianhai City.
At least during his absence, it needed to be safe.
Only with the rear secured could Zhang Yi focus on taking down the Neon Nation Ronin.
Liang Yue sat in the passenger seat with Hua Hua sprawled on her perfectly toned legs.
Even cats loved long, shapely legs.
Liang Yue kept glancing at Zhang Yi’s side profile, clearly hesitating about sothing.
Zhang Yi naturally picked up on her unease.
So after ending the call, he put down the satellite phone and asked calmly, “You’ve got sothing on your mind, don’t you? Go ahead and say it.”
Liang Yue frowned slightly, but didn’t hold back as she asked:
“Zhang Yi, do you think... do you think there’ll co a day when we’re no longer of value to you, and you’ll just abandon us?”
