Chapter 37: Meeting

With a level-8 master holding up the shield, of course a grenade like that couldn’t hurt them. It was only that because Cheng Xuze removed the protective shield too quickly, the flying dust fell down and covered the three of them with a thick layer of ash.

Cheng Xuze and Wang Qing were fine. In their anti-radiation clothes, the dust had little impact on them. But Shi Qingyang was miserable; a lot of dust embedded into his wounds, making it even more severe.

But even if the wounds were a little scary, it was still a minor injury for him. He took out another bottle of medicine and continued to clean the wounds. After washing away the dust from the injuries, Shi Qingyang immediately closed the wound and pasted adhesive tape.

At this time, Cheng Xuze also saw Shi Qingyang’s situation: “Sorry, I haven’t been out of the city for a long time, and I didn’t notice…” He waved his hand, and the radiation energy around Shi Qingyang’s body was much less. Such an environment was conducive to Shi Qingyang’s wound treatment.

“It’s alright, thank you.” Shi Qingyang was grateful. After skillfully treating the wound on his arm, he began to treat the wound on his leg.

“Wang Qing, give him some wound medicine.” Cheng Xuze heard Shi Qingyang’s voice and looked at Shi Qingyang’s face under the mask. When he found that Shi Qingyang was still very young, he immediately spoke.

Surely it must have been difficult to leave the city at this age?

“Old man, the car has been destroyed,” Wang Qing said lightly.

When Cheng Xuze looked back, he found that the armored vehicle he borrowed from his son because he had no money had been blown up. The windows were all shattered. He didn’t know how much he had left in the car.

“Those bastards!” Cheng Xuze could not help scolding. Just now, the man threw the grenade too fast and threw several more. Although he reacted quickly and made a protective shield, he didn’t dare to support the shield too much because he didn’t know the enemy’s situation. He only protected himself, Wang Qing and Shi Qingyang who came to his feet.

The car is gone…

Cheng Xuze suddenly thought of something: “Wang Qing, please help me look for my box of tea. It took me a lot of effort to get it. I can’t let it be destroyed just because of people like this!” How valuable was tea these days? He hadn’t even been willing to try any when he got it, until now, when he couldn’t think of what gift to give. If it was ruined…

He would definitely cry!

“Old man, I put the tea in the explosion-proof box at the back of the car for you. It will be fine, but the car won’t move.” Wang Qing rummaged about in that terrible-looking vehicle.

The quality of the armored vehicle was much better than that of the city motorbikes, but after all, making it too heavy would affect the speed, so the protection ability was not as good as that of a mobile fortress-style tank.

This vehicle was already good. It didn’t explode after being thrown so many grenades, but obviously it couldn’t drive any more.

Cheng Xuze breathed a sigh of relief, and then once again set his eyes on the people who were chasing Qingyang: “Who are you, in broad daylight, even trying to kill people?” In the country, unless it was in self-defense, murder was a capital crime.

In those chaotic years, too many people died because of the internal struggle of human beings. Human beings could not afford more such loss.

Red Hand had already fainted. After feeling the pressure brought by Cheng Xuze, the others did not dare to move at all. At this time, hearing Cheng Xuze’s words, they were very sorry: “We… We…”

Were these two really not here to ambush them? Otherwise, Shi Qingyang what was the probability Shi Qingyang could have hired such a master? This old man should be a level-5 expert?

That was level-5! They offended a level-5 master and got caught trying to kill someone… would they survive in the future?

“Hmph! Wang Qing, seal off the radiation energy of these people!” Cheng Xuze saw them stuttering, and was too lazy to ask.

He went out for the first time after several years of silence. Who knew how happy he was. Even waiting or a long time didn’t affect his good mood. Unexpectedly, there were a group of people who didn’t even say anything but wanted to kill them and threw prohibited explosives!

It was the first time he had been so embarrassed after becoming a level-8 radiant energy master! Even his car was destroyed!

If I don’t want to starve came at this time, wouldn’t he look like a joke?

“Yes, sir.” Wang Qing stepped forward and casually pressed on the frightened people.

The faces of those people turned pale in an instant: “What have you done, you…”

“This is just a little lesson. I will punish you when we enter the city!” Cheng Xuze snorted coldly.

“My radiant energy, my radiant energy is gone… we really have nothing to do with this. We just followed orders…” One of them suddenly collapsed. He had no other advantages except reaching level-2 radiant energy. How would he live without radiant energy in the future? He had been planning to get married…

Shi Qingyang looked at the man who was about to collapse, but held back his smile and didn’t reveal anything.

What Wang Qing did just now was nothing other than the radiation energy blocking method for level-3 rad-warriors that Shi Qingyang had previously published on the Internet.

This radiation energy blocking method was the safest for oneself. However, those with higher grades could use this method to make a mess of radiation energy in human bodies with lower grades.

Wang Qing learned and used it flexibly, but what made Shi Qingyang more satisfied was the reaction of the thugs sent by the Yang family. Was this a confession?

He deliberately wanted Cheng Xuze to wait here to perform such a play in order to get evidence that the Yang family wanted to kill him.

With the evidence, the people who tried to kill him would be punished by the law as soon as they returned to the city. The Yang family behind them would definitely also be involved. When they continued to investigate the reasons why these people killed him, they’d discover the matter of his parents

On the contrary, if Shi Qingyang asked Cheng Xuze to take revenge for him after Cheng Xuze had returned to the city, or directly asked Cheng Xuze to deal with the Yang family in the name of I don’t want to starve, there would be no definite evidence. If he was careless, others might bite back, saying that the Cheng family was bullying others.

Now this situation was the best result, and even exceeded his expectations – the person who headed the group did not even say hello, but directly threw a grenade!

The only pity was that Cheng Xuze’s car had been damaged. However, the Yang family could not refuse to pay compensation for the damage to Cheng Xuze’s things.

How dare a small family in a third tier city offend the Cheng family? Even the Yin family was nothing to the Cheng family.

Those who were controlled by Wang Qing were begging for mercy, but no one dared to say that they were ordered by others. They came out to deal with Shi Qingyang because Shi Qingyang provoked Yang Haitao. If they revealed Yang Haitao, would Yang Haitao find someone else to deal with them in the future?

Watching this scene, Cheng Xuze could also guess. Seeing that Shi Qingyang had already treated his wound, and that Wang Qing had also put away the things he’d left in his car, he suddenly looked in a direction: “The little boy over there has been hiding for most of the day. Should he come out?”

When Cheng Xuze spoke, the radiant energy in his body shook the surrounding radiant energy out in layered ripples, and the sound was naturally amplified a lot. As soon as the ripple got close to a bush not far away, he saw a man rolling down from the tree.

“Elder, I have no malice!” A woman’s voice rang out at once.

Hearing this voice, Cheng Xuze realized she was a woman, and his hostility disappeared. Compared with men, there were much fewer female rad-warriors. Because their physical conditions were relatively poor and they might have to bear children, most women would choose to become pharmacists. Daring to go out of the city was naturally admirable.

Liu Qilin was a little nervous at first, but she soon became firm. She would help Shi Qingyang because her enemies were the same. Although the situation was not clear, she also knew that the people in front of her might be able to help her.

This old man’s strength was so strong. He should be level-5? With this in mind, Liu Qilin took another look at Shi Qingyang. Before, she wondered why Shi Qingyang had run here. Unexpectedly, there was an expert hiding in this location, and the problem of Red Hand was solved face-to-face.

Cheng Xuze had lived for so long, and could be considered a fine man. How can he not notice Liu Qilin’s behavior? Thinking of Shi Qingyang’s too calm actions before, he always felt that he had been calculated.

But it was hard to tell. I don’t want to starve was the only one who knew about his coming here. Would that man still find some small shrimps to figure him out?

Thinking this, Cheng Xuze felt that he was thinking too much. “What the hell is going on with you?”

“Someone is after me,” Shi Qingyang said directly.

“I saw them chasing to try and kill this child, so I followed them,” Liu Qilin also said.

“A group of level-2 and level-3 rad-warriors are really capable, chasing to kill a child who is not even level-1 and attacking people with bombs at will! These people must be handed over to law enforcement! But how can they be brought back to the city?” Cheng Xuze frowned slightly.

“Senior, I have a hunting team,” Liu Qilin chimed in. Although she didn’t know the origin of the old man in front of her, she decided to believe in Shi Qingyang.

She didn’t believe that Shi Qingyang wouldn’t avenge his parents.

“Then you take these people back first. I have to wait for someone and will head to the city later,” Cheng Xuze said. I don’t want to starve asked him to meet here. Although the meeting time had passed, he still had to wait.

Liu Qilin was stunned. If they took these people back to the city, they might end up counterattacked…

Shi Qingyang touched his anti-radiation mask: “Senior, my master asked me to come here.”

Cheng Xuze was stunned: “Your master?” Had someone really calculated against him?

“My master said you could help me.” Shi Qingyang’s eyes were full of sincerity. Cheng Xuze came with only one person, which was enough to prove his sincerity. He trusted Cheng Xuze more.

Cheng Xuze’s face changed again and again. Finally, he waved: “Let’s go together!”

Watching this scene, Liu Qilin only thought that Gu Changjin was the master Shi Qingyang spoke of, and felt Shi Qingyang’s luck was too good. His previous performance exceeded that of some level-2 rad-warriors; Gu Changjin must have taught him everything, right?

He had such a master, and such a master’s friends. No wonder Shi Qingyang didn’t plan to rely on their power… Liu Qilin didn’t dare to join in and fired a signal bomb in the air.

Liu Qilin’s hunting team was the people Shi Qingyang saw when he left the city yesterday. Soon, several two-wheeled vehicles came to the forest. They all carried ropes on their cars, tied Red Hand and others to the backs of the vehicles, and roared away.

Originally, these people wanted to take Shi Qingyang and the others with them, but Cheng Xuze and Wang Qing were unwilling to sit behind other people’s two-wheeled bikes. Shi Qingyang and Liu Qilin followed along.

Liu Qilin walked with vigour. Although Shi Qingyang was injured, because the wound had been treated, he persevered and did not fall behind. However, the most admirable were Wang Qing and Cheng Xuze.

Wang Qing took all the intact things out of the chariot. For keeping safe in the environment, the environment video recorder installed on the car to record the surrounding conditions at dangerous times was also removed and taken with him. He packed a large bag, which was estimated to weigh one or two hundred kilograms. But with such a big bag on his back, he still walked casually.

There was also Cheng Xuze. The radiant energy around Cheng Xuze was so abundant that it enveloped him. He didn’t seem to move much, but his speed of progress was extremely fast…

This was a level-8 radiant energy warrior… Shi Qingyang took a deep breath. When their radiant energy became stronger and stronger, a radiant energy warrior could even lead the surrounding radiation energy to lift themself up and walk in the air. Now Cheng Xuze could even take off and fly back through the air. Likely because he didn’t want to cause a stir, he kept a low profile.

The four of them were very fast. Before long, they came to the place where two van-type vehicles were parked. At this time, Red Hand and others had been tied and thrown into one of the chariots together with the mutant beasts they had hunted. The other chariot was empty and seemed to be ready for Shi Qingyang and the others to sit.

This kind of chariot was completely meant to hold mutant beasts… Cheng Xuze felt more and more helpless when he saw this scene. Shi Qingyang didn’t mind and soon climbed in.

Seeing Shi Qingyang go in, Cheng Xuze finally climbed in the same way. Compared to straddling behind other people’s two-wheeled motorbikes, this kind of van was more suitable. Although staying inside made him feel like he was a captured beast.

Cheng Xuze sat on the explosion-proof box that Wang Qing had removed from their vehicle. Then he used radiant energy to make an isolation cover around his body. He glanced back at Shi Qingyang: “Who is your master? What did he say?” I don’t want to starve had called on him, why would he find a disciple here?

“I don’t want to starve is my master’s online name.” Shi Qingyang pointed to the map on the contact terminal. “My master said that if I went to this place, I would be able to get revenge.”

“Why didn’t he come?” Cheng Xuze frowned tightly. He made an appointment, but he was late. It was alright to be late. But that wasn’t all, he even found his apprentice to make up for him!

Scum, what absolute scum!

“My master said that his identity should not be exposed…” Shi Qingyang smiled awkwardly.

“Have you seen him?”

“No.” Shi Qingyang shook his head immediately. He had lived in Spark City before, had been in contact with very few people, and everything about him could be easily found. It was only reasonable that they’d gotten to know each other online. Before, no one had monitored him on the Internet.

“This guy…” Cheng Xuze sighed, and then took a good look at Shi Qingyang: “You look about the same age as my grandson, and you have such strength. You’re very good. Keep it up, your future is bright!”

“Thank you.” Shi Qingyang smiled, took out a potion and began to drink.

The bottle containing the potion was very beautiful, with flowers carved on it. Cheng Xuze looked at it a couple of times, and then he felt that the smell of the potion seemed familiar…

I don’t want to starve had sent him nine bottles of medicine. He divided one bottle to Ran Xue and three bottles to his son. He only had five bottles left. He almost couldn’t bear to drink them, and even slept with them by him… But wasn’t the smell and color the same as what was in Shi Qingyang’s bottle?

Knowing now that Shi Qingyang was I don’t want to starve’s disciple, Cheng Xuze couldn’t help thinking. “This medicine was given to you by your master?”

Why did he ask? That guy had given Cheng Xuze medicine in the most common bottle, which nearly damaged the medicine’s efficacy. But for this little guy, he used such a beautiful bottle!

This was really unequal treatment!

“I asked my friend to mix it with the prescription given by my master. The mixing just recently succeeded. A few days ago, my master asked me to mail some out. Was it for you?” Shi Qingyang was curious.

Cheng Xuze twitched his lips, so I don’t want to starve just wanted him to help the boy in front of him, right? He had been so grateful to the other party before, felt the other party was really good, and waited happily for most of the day. Now…

Why did he think that guy was a bit of a scum?

It was useless to send that tea. He should just enjoy it himself!

Grandpa: I came to this date full of joy, how could you find someone else to come! What a big scumbag ying ying ying

Shi Qingyang: …….
