52: I want to kill Bruce!

Chapter 52: I want to intercept and kill Bruce!

Caesar wore a look of indifference, the curve of his slanted lips widening. Just based on looks, combined with that expression, he could charm countless young girls; who knows how many people were frantically cheering for him.

"Speak. Why did you make a move?"

"Even if you are the Adam Five, you must give a reason for casually attacking someone from Nüwa City." Lu Xiaoxiao's eyes were filled with coldness.

She glanced at Lilu Xiu, who smiled slightly, remaining unmoved and maintaining his previous posture.

"Interesting? I haven't even accused you yet, and you're already using Nüwa City to pressure me?"

"Then you tell me, who is this person?" Caesar's golden hair was dazzling, especially when colored light fell upon it, making him look magnificent and mysterious.

"You should understand better than I do what the word 'Seed' represents." Lu Xiaoxiao's words were the same as Dilisi's.

Clearly, this was something the five of them had discussed and agreed upon behind Xu Jingzhe's back before entering the city.

Caesar's grip tightened further. Xu Jingzhe heard the sound of muscle compressing bone.

He knew that if Caesar exerted just a little more force, the bones in his neck would crack.

He could no longer breathe; his brain was slowly being deprived of oxygen.

"Still... not yet?" Xu Jingzhe recalled the five members of the Dark Night Hunters Squad and his happy times with Yezi, forcing himself to stay conscious.

System: "Ding. The final second. I will try my best."

"Life and death are determined by fate."

"I'll give you one more chance. If you answer incorrectly this time, he will lose his life," Caesar said with a smile.

Lu Xiaoxiao's heart instantly clenched. Could they possibly know the identity of 9527?

Impossible!

Should she gamble?

What if she lost? What would happen to Yezi?!

Not far away, Yezi approached slowly, her face dark. With every step, her aura intensified.

Ming Xixi and Autumn Cicada followed behind her. The three stood in a triangle formation, their steps synchronized.

"Let go." Yezi's voice was quiet, but full of resolution.

"I will count to three, or we all die together!"

"Are you sure that the five of you can kill us?" Caesar remained unhurried, a playful smile on his face.

Xu Jingzhe struggled to stay conscious, the humiliation surging in his heart.

In this instant, he thought of two people.

Wang Hu and Mike.

The faces of these two men magnified infinitely in his mind, bearing eerie smiles and unrestrained mockery.

"Xu Jingzhe, you are trash!"

"Ugh... So ugly!"

"His mother was frightened to death by his ugliness. The wound on her belly wasn't sutured, and blood sprayed tens of meters, staining the entire operating room red."

"Hahaha..."

"Hahaha..."

Everyone has their youth; incompetence does not equate to weakness.

"Gaia!" Xu Jingzhe roared. A light flashed in the deepest part of his eyes, and he stabbed his dagger backward toward Caesar's carotid artery!

"Clang!" The sound of metal striking, and the dagger was knocked away.

Subsequently, Caesar forcefully threw Xu Jingzhe several hundred meters, where he slammed heavily into the transparent glass dome and passed out.

Yezi's tears burst forth, and she rushed toward Xu Jingzhe.

That night.

Xu Jingzhe woke up. Yezi was slumped at his bedside, holding one of his hands.

The moment he moved, Yezi woke up.

"You're awake. Are you feeling uncomfortable anywhere?" Yezi asked with concern.

Xu Jingzhe smiled, his eyes full of tenderness. He stroked Yezi's head and said, "I'm an unkillable cockroach. I just got together with you, so how could I die, right?"

Yezi sniffled, helped Xu Jingzhe sit up, and said, "Do you want to eat acorns."

"Now that you mention it, I really am hungry."

Yezi got up, brought over the peeled acorns from the table, and said, "Here, eat more, and get nice and plump."

Putting the acorn in his mouth, Xu Jingzhe chewed slowly.

He opened his arms, pulled Yezi tightly into his embrace, and said, "Yezi, thank you."

Yezi hugged Xu Jingzhe back, her delicate hand gently stroking his back as she said, "What are you thanking me for? I'm your girlfriend, I belong to you."

"We're family, so let's not talk like strangers, right?"

"When I'm with you, I feel especially secure." Xu Jingzhe closed his eyes, burying his head in Yezi's beautiful hair.

It was the fresh scent of a young woman mixed with the faint elegance of perfume.

After finishing the acorns, Xu Jingzhe told Yezi to go train, saying he wanted to sleep a little longer.

Yezi didn't want to go, but she couldn't resist Xu Jingzhe's persuasion.

When she reached the door, Yezi ran back, and the two kissed for a long time.

"I will train hard and protect you!" Yezi made a cheering gesture.

Xu Jingzhe nodded, giving her a thumbs-up.

After Yezi left, Xu Jingzhe also got up and wiped down his AWM.

"Is it alright to go to the Pollution Zone for life-and-death training?"

System: "Ding. Yes."

He found Dilisi.

"Can you tell me, is the Adam Five member who was absent today looking for someone in the Pollution Zone?" Xu Jingzhe asked calmly.

"Yes." Dilisi knew she couldn't hide it.

"What... is his name?"

"Bruce, his red hair is like burning flames."

"Alright, thank you." Xu Jingzhe continued, "I also need to ask a favor of you."

"What?"

"Send me out of the city. I want to intercept and kill Bruce!"

Dilisi stared at the man in front of her, who was handsome beyond measure, and really wanted to laugh.

However, she felt it would be impolite.

Was it a man's... or rather, humanity's... inherent desire for revenge at work?

Or was it that he felt he had lost face in front of Yezi and needed to regain it?

But surely throwing away his life for these two reasons wasn't worth it.

Immortality lasts ten thousand years; outliving your enemies is also a skill.

Going to his grave and peeing on it would be much more satisfying.

"I wouldn't dare. Your little Yezi could stop speaking to me forever. Besides, in your current state, you can't even touch a hair on me, let alone Bruce."

"You don't know the weight of the words Adam Five. They are like five great mountains blocking the path of the geniuses in the High Molecular Compound Zone."

"If they want to move forward, they must overcome them." Dilisi shook her head, her long hair swaying. It was too difficult.

This was no longer just about potential!

"I want to protect Yezi, for life."

"Please... send me out of the city, okay?" Xu Jingzhe said once more.

"I... am a man. I want to protect her."

"Today, she was willing to fight desperately to protect me. But as a woman, that is not her role."

Dilisi looked at Xu Jingzhe with complex emotions, no longer having any desire to mock him.

Yezi's choice was correct. Isn't mutual affection all about running toward each other?

Deep affection should not be betrayed.

"Let's do it tonight. I'll send you out of the city," she said.

"Thank you."

Xu Jingzhe left.

"Yezi, oh Yezi, what do you think I should do?"

"Forget it. Thinking about it makes my chest hurt; they're going to get bigger again." Dilisi muttered a few words, scratching her head repeatedly with both hands.

The full moon rose in the east.

The moonlight was crisp and transparent, falling onto the massive Musileke City, like pieces of ice that had fallen from high altitude and melted into puddles before they could land.

Xu Jingzhe carried his AWM on his back, his shadow stretched long by the moonlight. He set off alone, gradually disappearing into the darkness.

On the rooftop of the second floor, five women sat in a row, watching Xu Jingzhe leave under the moonlight.

Yezi sat in the center, her eyes glistening with tears.

The breeze passed, like a boat gliding over water, causing her long hair to flutter.

"Cheers, let's celebrate Yezi finding a good man." Lu Xiaoxiao held a bottle of beer, swinging her legs.

"Cheers!"

"Good sisters don't cry."

Yezi tilted her head back and downed the beer in her hand.

"Wait for me, Little man," she murmured internally.
