Chapter 7 – Bang

Volume 3: Rising Winds and Clouds

When Wen Yu arrived at the front of Central City, the person he saw was his old acquaintance-Wang Zhigang.

And, of course, Zhang Wen, whom he had only met once before.

"Long time no see."

Wen Yu jumped down from One-Eye's head and greeted Wang Zhigang.

…

"You… you're… Wen Yu?"

Wen Yu smiled and nodded.

It had to be said that Wen Yu's appearance had changed drastically. Since leaving Chaihe Town, he hadn't tended to his hair or beard at all, nor had he found the time to change his clothes. Currently, his entire appearance was like that of a wild man!

If Wang Zhigang hadn't seen the Little Soul Beast on Wen Yu's shoulder, which had grown several sizes larger, he might not have recognized Wen Yu's identity at all!

Seeing Wen Yu confirm his identity, Wang Zhigang let out a loud laugh. Ignoring the grime on Wen Yu's clothes, he stepped forward and pulled him into a hug.

"I thought I'd never see you again in this lifetime!"

Then, Wang Zhigang turned his head and shouted to Zhang Wen.

"This is Wen Yu! You forgot? He's the one who went with me to blow up the police station last time!"

Zhang Wen finally realized who it was and nodded toward Wen Yu.

"Come on, let's head into the city. If I'd known you were coming back, I would've had someone prepare food."

Wang Zhigang grabbed Wen Yu's hand and led him toward Central City.

Wen Yu hesitated for a moment but followed Wang Zhigang toward the Central City Settlement.

Wen Yu could tell that Wang Zhigang's joy was genuine.

However, at that moment, a discordant voice rang out.

"Old Wang, what do you think you're doing? This man hasn't proven his identity yet. If he causes some kind of disturbance in the city, can you take responsibility for it?"

Hearing this, Wang Zhigang's footsteps halted. He turned back and stared intently at the young man in a military uniform who had spoken.

"This is my friend. What does it have to do with you?"

This was Wang Zhigang's first exchange with the young man today. Unfortunately, the content was far from pleasant!

"Hmph, just because he's your friend, you can bring him into Central City whenever you want? Don't forget your position! If something really happens, you, Wang Zhigang, won't be able to afford the consequences!"

Hearing Wang Zhigang's words, the young man in the military uniform clearly felt his pride was wounded and began to berate Wang Zhigang loudly.

Old Wang had an explosive temper. Hearing the young man's words, he walked straight up to him and stared him down.

Wang Zhigang's current strength was Level Three Early-Stage, with a Physical Attribute of around 60 Points, while the young man in the military uniform was only at Level 2 Early-Stage.

If it weren't for the man's other identity, Wang Zhigang would have long since torn him into a pile of mangled meat to feed the dogs!

Under Wang Zhigang's overwhelming strength and aggressive gaze, the young man in the military uniform slowly lowered his head. At the same time, the hatred in his eyes grew deeper and deeper!

…

"Let's go. No need to pay attention to this idiot!"

Seeing the young man back down, Wang Zhigang gave a cold snort and turned to continue leading Wen Yu into the city.

Although the young man in the military uniform had a significant background, Wang Zhigang wasn't a pushover either.

If the young man truly pushed Wang Zhigang too far, the worst-case scenario was that he'd just kill the guy and leave.

I'm not being this damn Boss anymore.

If Wang Zhigang disappeared into the Mountain Forest, the Military wouldn't go through the trouble of hunting him down over a Level 2 Class Holder!

Besides, if the man truly had high status and position, how could he only be at Level 2 strength with the full support of the Military?

Seeing the Military Uniform Man's tightly clenched fists, Wen Yu shook his head slightly.

Wen Yu understood these petty matters all too well.

It was nothing more than a power struggle within the Camp, coming to a head because of his arrival.

Strictly speaking, these things had nothing to do with Wen Yu.

However, in the eyes of some brain-dead individuals, Wen Yu's head-shaking might represent many, many things.

"Wait!"

The Military Uniform Man spoke up once more.

"Are you fucking done yet? Do you really think I won't kill you?"

"Wang-Ge, it's not about that."

The Military Uniform Man gave a smug smile to Wang Zhigang and Wen Yu as he spoke slowly.

"Did you forget? Earlier, Headquarters issued an order for every base to keep an eye out for powerful Mutant Creatures. Once there's news, Headquarters will send people over. We reported Simba, but now, I think this dog should be even stronger than Simba. Although I don't know why Headquarters is looking for powerful Mutant Beasts, a Level 4 Mutant Beast definitely meets their requirements."

"I think since this person is your friend, Wang-Ge, you should talk to him. Hand this Mutated creature over to the Country. I believe the Country will give your friend plenty of rewards."

"It's not like I'm intentionally looking for trouble; this is exactly what Headquarters said. Anyway, I will be contacting Headquarters."

Looking at the smug expression on the Military Uniform Man's face, Wang Zhigang's teeth itched with hatred, yet he couldn't find any fault with those words.

Because the Military Headquarters had indeed issued such a document!

"Suit yourself!"

Wang Zhigang spat out those words at the Military Uniform Man through gritted teeth, then turned his head to look at Wen Yu.

"Younger Brother, let's go. Just treat him like a fart and ignore him. As for your War Pet, I'll explain things to the Military. I definitely won't let them make things difficult for you!"

After saying that, Wang Zhigang pulled Wen Yu and continued walking toward the city.

However, Wen Yu stood still.

"Is this person your friend?"

Wen Yu's low voice rang out.

Wang Zhigang's answer was blunt.

"No, he's a piece of dog shit."

Wen Yu nodded.

Then, his left hand slowly rose. At the same time, a half-meter-long short gun abruptly appeared in Wen Yu's hand!

…

Wen Yu's movements were very slow and gentle.

Every motion seemed meticulously crafted; even the simple act of raising the gun gave everyone present a strange sense of beauty.

The gun wasn't long, but its design was ancient and primitive, looking like an antique that had been carefully maintained by its owner.

But it was undeniable that an antique gun was still a gun!

In the eyes of a normal person, firearms still held a certain level of deterrence.

So, when the muzzle pointed at the Military Uniform Man, he felt a slight pang of panic.

But he quickly calmed down.

Because for a Level 2 Class Holder, it was difficult for even modern firearms to inflict fatal damage, let alone this antique gun in front of him.

To reclaim some of the face he had just lost, the Military Uniform Man puffed out his chest and barked at Wen Yu.

"Do you know who my father-"

Bang!

The gun fired!

Facts proved that Wild Song was no antique gun!

And the power of Wild Song was displayed before humanity for the first time!

A slightly blurred mass of a bullet directly struck the Military Uniform Man's torso.

If any Class Holder present had a strength of Level 5 or higher, they would have seen that the bullet from Wild Song was not shaped like a normal bullet!

It was a mass of air that looked like a plate; the bottom of the plate acted as the tip, giving the entire bullet a flattened shape.

This shape of projectile would definitely lack penetration power, but the power of Wild Song itself didn't rely on penetration at all!

The spot where the Military Uniform Man was hit felt as if it had been struck head-on by a heavy sledgehammer. The massive force instantly tore his body apart.

Then, the Annihilation effect activated!

Half of the Military Uniform Man's body simply vanished.

Then came the explosion!

Amidst a thunderous roar, the remains of the Military Uniform Man couldn't withstand the force of the explosion. In an instant, not even a bone was left!

Thus, Wild Song's third effect-Tear-didn't even get a chance to work.

Wen Yu slowly lowered Wild Song and, amidst a sea of dumbfounded expressions, withdrew it back into his body.

"Let's go, Old Wang."

Wang Zhigang, who was standing nearby, clearly hadn't processed what happened. He first stared blankly at the spot where the Military Uniform Man had completely disappeared, then turned to look at Wen Yu, saying in disbelief,

"How could you just kill him?"

"Oh, you mean that dumbass?"

Wen Yu's calm voice responded to Wang Zhigang.

"A dumbass like that… I couldn't possibly let him live past one chapter!!!"
