212: The selection is over and you enter the Axe Gang

Xiong Mao naturally had no objections to the method Wen Hui proposed: "I'll go do it right away!"

Wen Hui nodded, stood up, and continued, "For the plan, I've always lived a secluded life to maintain my persona, but now, it's time for me to act."

Xiong Mao's eyes widened, and he said nervously, "But Bao Hui..."

He worried that Bao Hui would harm Wen Hui.

However, Wen Hui chuckled, her eyes revealing confidence: "Since I'm going to act, I've naturally made thorough preparations. There's no need to hide it anymore; there's nothing wrong with tearing off the facade."

Upon hearing this, Xiong Mao felt a surge of fighting spirit!

He had put up with Bao Hui for a long time too!

"Alright, we'll do as you say!"

...Wen Hui was right; it was time to tear off the facade. Ximen Chuifeng modified Zhuang Sanming's original plan, then had Crimson Flame Ant find a way to relay the message to Zhuang Sanming.

If the new plan went smoothly, Zhuang Sanming wouldn't have to go undercover with Bao Hui.

It was just Su Duo... she still needed to do a little more...

Outside the 155 Fortress, in the Axe Gang selection area.

Today was the last day of classes in the selection area.

After training, Steward Xiao He would announce the list of people entering the Axe Gang today, and dozens of people below listened attentively.

Zhuang Sanming knew he would officially join the Axe Gang today. He had to find a way to get close to Bao Hui and become one of his subordinates.

To be honest, this took much longer than he had imagined.

At the time, Xiong Mao told him that training in the selection area usually finished in ten days, followed by personnel assignments, but this time it dragged on for half a month.

He had known for a long time that there were internal conflicts within the Axe Gang, so a delay was normal. However, he had been lurking here for fifteen days and hadn't even managed to see Bao Hui's face.

But Zhuang Sanming wasn't anxious, because he had discovered many problems just by staying in the selection area during this time.

The information had already been passed to Ximen Chuifeng through the ants, and Ximen Chuifeng had also analyzed it, saying it might be related to the 97th Stronghold.

Zhuang Sanming believed this could very well be a massive conspiracy.

However, based on the clues they had discovered so far, not much could be discerned.

The only thing that could be confirmed was that someone within the Axe Gang was secretly contacting other Walls, and these iron shacks and the medicine bottles found in the junkyard were likely what they used for experiments.

Bao Hui was backed by Bingyan Office, but Ximen Chuifeng had investigated and found that Bingyan Office had only recently opened, and its members had only just arrived at the 155 Fortress. Therefore, the things in the selection area should have nothing to do with them.

This also meant that this matter should not have been orchestrated by Bao Hui.

Currently, the Axe Gang's interior was divided into three factions: excluding Bao Hui's faction, only Xiong Mao's side and the Old Gang Leader's side remained.

Zhuang Sanming certainly believed it wasn't Xiong Mao; after all, with Xiong Mao's brain... he couldn't do it even if he tried.

He didn't seem to be faking it.

If he really was faking it, then Xiong Mao would definitely be smarter than all of them.

Currently, this seemed unlikely.

That left only one faction: the neutral faction led by the Old Gang Leader.

But would the Old Gang Leader really get involved?

"Today is an exciting day! I will announce the list of personnel entering the Axe Gang here!"

Steward Xiao He's shout pulled Zhuang Sanming out of his thoughts. The most important thing now was indeed to listen to who was on the list.

"Big Brother, do you think I'll be on the list?"

Standing beside Zhuang Sanming was Tao Erbao, who looked very nervous at this moment, clearly worried that he wouldn't get into the Axe Gang.

Having spent so much time with Tao Erbao, Zhuang Sanming had developed some affection for him, so he comforted him, "What are you worried about? We only have two Level 2 Warriors in the entire selection area. As long as the people in charge of the Axe Gang aren't fools, there's no way you won't get in."

"Really? That's great! Big Brother knows more after all." Tao Erbao immediately became happy again.

Zhuang Sanming sighed. Tao Erbao's emotions came and went quickly. Sometimes Zhuang Sanming wondered if his life would be better if he were also such a simpleton.

Don't let him fool you; he never spoke about it outwardly, but in reality, he was very sensitive. Having lost his Father Su and Mother Su at a young age, he was fostered by his aunt early on. To avoid making his aunt and uncle angry, he started playing the role of an obedient child from then on, waking up early every day to cook, clean, and do housework, using the rest of his time to cultivate.

He knew he couldn't live under someone else's roof forever; true strength came from within, so he spent the most time cultivating.

At that time, he was still young, and Su Duo was also young and naive. Even though Su Duo listened to him now and followed her cousin's lead, she used to be very mischievous as a child, often running around and liking to bully her cousin.

Because he was living at Su Duo's parents' house, Zhuang Sanming endured her for a long time. Finally, at the age of ten, he couldn't take it anymore and beat Su Duo several times with his much higher cultivation, finally subduing her.

From then on, Su Duo began to wholeheartedly believe that "listening to my cousin is always right."

His journey had actually been quite difficult. Even after subduing Su Duo, he still lived at Su Duo's house, not his own.

This meant that he was destined to consider Father Su and Mother Su's opinions before doing anything.

Thus, time slowly passed, and he reached seventeen years old.

It was at this time that he became Lin Feng's passenger.

Then he discovered that this world was actually so rich and colorful!

Through the green train, he met Ximen Chuifeng, Xiong Mao, Wen Hui, and others. And because of the Axe Gang incident, their relationship deepened, becoming "comrades-in-arms"!

They planned together and executed plans together.

His talent was finally affirmed in this small team.

Moreover, this plan truly excited him. He could finally do something earth-shattering himself.

They said everyone in the Axe Gang was bad. Hmph, he didn't care.

Isn't there a saying? Behind every good child, there's a rebellious person seeking excitement!

Either don't do it, or make it earth-shattering!

He used to seem to live a good life, but in reality, his heart was empty, not knowing where his future truly lay.

But now, he began to pursue his own future.

Moving towards his goals, this feeling was truly wonderful.

He admitted that he was already addicted to this feeling.

So Zhuang Sanming thought, he shouldn't have to be a simpleton to live a very exciting life.

"The people whose names I call, please step forward. First, Zhuang Sanming." Steward Xiao He spoke.
