318: He's here

It wasn't until Shen Cangsheng's body fell to the ground that Liu Yan snapped out of his daze.

Originally, he thought Shen Cangsheng had completely defeated Demulan.

But in the end, he died from a bullet that flew from who knows where...

"Great Buddha..."

Liu Yan's throat tightened, and he was speechless.

He didn't know the situation with that last bullet that appeared.

But Shen Cangsheng absolutely couldn't have been unaware.

And Shen Cangsheng absolutely couldn't have failed to dodge that bullet!

If he couldn't even do that, he wouldn't be worthy of being called a Heavenly Prodigy.

Liu Yan's gaze slowly shifted, finally looking towards the Xia Country Operatives.

There, swathes of bodies lay on the ground.

Each of them had a prominent bullet hole in their head, from which blood was still slowly flowing.

"To... to save more lives..."

"To... kill Demulan..."

Liu Yan's nose stung.

"Why are you so foolish... isn't it better to just live?!"

Liu Yan understood everything.

If Demulan didn't die, even more Xia Country Operatives would die.

If Shen Cangsheng had dodged that bullet, it would undoubtedly have cost the lives of the Xia Country Operatives.

But as long as Demulan was dealt with, all of this would end.

Shen Cangsheng used his own life to ensure more people could survive.

Liu Yan couldn't understand.

After all, from the very beginning, in his heart, the Brothers and comrades around him were far more important than those Operatives, even if they were from the same country as him.

Looking at Demulan's lifeless body, Liu Yan felt a deep sense of powerlessness.

Even if he wanted to tear Demulan into a thousand pieces, there was no opportunity.

Shot through the heart by Shen Cangsheng, Demulan was as dead as could be.

Liu Yan took a deep breath, looking at the Hafke Soldiers in the battlefield, as well as those sci-fi level vehicles.

Facing those vehicles, Liu Yan wasn't surprised at all.

In fact, it was even better than he had anticipated.

"All Soldiers, free action."

"Target."

"Hafke."

Whoosh—!

Hiss—!

As soon as he finished speaking, the 150,000 Soldiers who had been waiting behind Liu Yan instantly flew into the battlefield.

Only four Soldiers remained, holding Cai Ning's body suspended in the air.

Looking at the backs of their Brothers charging out, envy showed in their eyes.

"We've finally waited for this day! You little brats of Hafke! Grandpa is here!"

"First, put the Tank Soldiers down!"

"This battle, we don't need to consider casualties, right?"

"Can we just use those limited mandel bricks as we please?"

"Nonsense, only the living are qualified to talk about casualties!"

"Hahahaha, good!"

After the Soldiers rushed into the battlefield, Liu Yan raised his hand towards Cai Ning.

"Give me the heart of africa."

Hearing this, Cai Ning raised an eyebrow, then began to retrieve a powerful vacuum cleaner from his quantum storage.

"Didn't you say before that you didn't want to make a wish?"

Next, he pulled out a huge backpack from inside, filled with Hearts of Africa, and handed it to Liu Yan.

Liu Yan glanced at Shen Cangsheng, who lay quietly in the rain.

"I don't know why I had such a thought before."

"If I had used the heart of africa to make various wishes earlier, I would have definitely arrived here at the first opportunity."

"I could have also ensured he didn't die."

"Even John's last wish... might not have been made."

Upon seeing Liu Yan take the backpack full of Hearts of Africa, Soldier No. 66666, who was observing from a distance, felt his heart tighten.

"Such an unexpected turn of events indeed..."

Soldier No. 66666 reached into his pocket for the heart of africa.

But after grasping the heart of africa, his face showed conflict and hesitation.

If Liu Yan were to make a wish with these Hearts of Africa now... the boss's plan would very likely be affected.

Previously, Soldier No. 66666 had wished that Liu Yan wouldn't want to use the heart of africa to make a wish.

But now, faced with Shen Cangsheng's death, the power of the heart of africa could no longer suppress Liu Yan.

If at this moment, he were to use the heart of africa again to make such a wish, even with some cost, it might still take effect.

But then... Soldier No. 66666 unconsciously put himself in Liu Yan's shoes.

If Shen Cangsheng were his Brother, what would he do?

Could he really just watch idly?

Soldier No. 66666 couldn't.

No Soldier could.

After much internal struggle, Soldier No. 66666 painfully raised the heart of africa.

"I wish, at the cost of my lifespan, for Liu Yan not to make a wish."

As his words fell, the heart of africa, which should have disappeared, remained motionless.

Seeing this, Soldier No. 66666's pupils trembled wildly.

His wish just now hadn't specified the amount of lifespan.

In such a situation, the heart of africa would take his lifespan to the maximum extent to fulfill the wish.

The fact that it wasn't fulfilled could only mean that his lifespan was insufficient.

Or...

Soldier No. 66666 glanced at Liu Yan's back.

Or, it was already impossible to stop Liu Yan from making a wish using the heart of africa, unless at an even greater cost, a cost that Soldier No. 66666 absolutely could not afford...

Elsewhere.

"Hahahaha, I've played the eagle my whole life, but now I've been pecked in the eye by a little eaglet."

Jacob couldn't help but clap and laugh, watching Demulan instantly killed by Shen Cangsheng's shot.

After laughing, Jacob turned his head and looked at the door behind him.

"Demulan, didn't you say you wanted me to watch?"

"How did you get slapped in the face so quickly?"

Click—

The door opened, and Demulan walked in expressionlessly.

In the depths of her eyes, there was still the surprise she had felt just before her death.

And behind the door, six of Demulan's derivative bodies were stored.

"I won."

Demulan slowly spoke.

Jacob shook his head and tutted twice.

"Does trading your derivative body for someone's life count as winning?"

"If you didn't have a derivative body, Romisius would have to painstakingly find your cells to revive you."

"Then you'd have to soak in an accelerated cultivation pod for two years."

"Even if you're willing, you'd have to see if Romisius is willing."

Jacob was very happy.

Demulan's setback this time really gave him a good show.

Facing Jacob's sarcasm, Demulan's expression changed.

If the person in front of her wasn't her direct superior and a friend of millions of years, she would really be furious out of embarrassment.

"He's dead, and I'm still alive."

"I'm not like you; you only care about the process, but for me, only the result matters."

With that, Demulan turned and prepared to leave.

"Where are you going?" Jacob asked Demulan.

"The battlefield, to end it quickly."

Demulan replied without looking back.

"Wait."

Jacob quickly called out to Demulan.

The latter turned her head and saw Jacob pointing at the screen.

"He's here."

Looking at the mysterious Jacob, Demulan frowned and walked forward, looking at the screen.

On the screen, Liu Yan was continuously taking Hearts of Africa from his backpack.

Every time he raised one, one would disappear.

The moment she saw Liu Yan, a hint of easily detectable fear flashed in Demulan's eyes.

After Liu Yan used up one backpack of Hearts of Africa, Cai Ning, who was beside him, took out another backpack, also filled with Hearts of Africa.

"My goodness... this..."

Seeing this, Demulan's eyes almost popped out.

What was the difference between these Hearts of Africa and those bought in bulk?

For the sake of appearances, Demulan suppressed the shock on her face, only shouting in her heart.

Clang—

Demulan pulled up a chair and sat next to Jacob.

Seeing this, Jacob feigned confusion and asked, "Aren't you going to the battlefield?"

"Why are you sitting here with me?"

Demulan's shoulders stiffened, and she said with a cold face, "The battlefield needs command, otherwise the Soldiers will just be a scattered mess."
