137: Chapter 137 The Humiliating Banquet at Qishan
Qi Yin truly couldn't understand, did this person value face so much?
Otherwise, why did he insist on making such a grand entrance every single time?
Yanqi Mountain looked up, gazing at the top of the city wall, his eyes locked firmly on the two figures at the very front.
Those were Qi Yin and Xiao Sinian.
"Yo, Xiao Sinian, that old man President is hiding himself, but he sent you two to die. If you ask me, if it's really not working out, you might as well join my Shanhe Base. Don't worry, the position of deputy base leader is still yours."
He deliberately emphasized the word "deputy".
Qi Yin crossed her arms and spat, "Have you been the eternal runner-up for so long that you actually think you're something special?"
Xiao Sinian: It feels so good to have my wife protecting me.
Before he could say anything, President, wearing a warm Constant Temperature Suit, arrived late and aggressive, pointing at Yanqi Mountain's nose below and cursing loudly.
"You care so much about primary and deputy? Sorry, but Si Nian is now the base leader of Xiyin Base. What even is Shanhe Base?"
Daring to poach people right in front of him—it was wishful thinking, and his intentions were crooked.
Everyone looked at each other, collectively dumbfounded.
Huh? Since when did Xiao Sinian become the base leader?
Xiao Sinian spread his hands, "How come I didn't know I was the base leader?"
President puffed out his cheeks and glared, "I said it is, so it is. It starts today. This old man should retire anyway; from now on, the base is left to you two."
As he spoke, he playfully bumped Xiao Sinian toward Qi Yin's side, almost knocking him over.
Qi Yin was speechless: "Is the President always this unreliable?"
Xiao Sinian: "I only know he's always wanted to retire!"
Seeing them whispering and laughing, completely disregarding him and his army of zombies, a strange fire of rage rose in Yanqi Mountain's eyes.
"It's not like I care about you that much. Listen, Xiao Sinian, hand over Wang Hui to me, otherwise, today I will level your Xiyin Base. All the survivors inside are waiting to become members of my army!"
After he finished speaking, the zombie horde behind him let out a "Awoo" in perfect coordination!
His vicious declaration combined with the roaring of the zombie horde echoed through the empty valley; truthfully, it really did add a sense of terror.
With tens of thousands of Level 4 zombies, the destruction of Xiyin Base was only a matter of time. No matter how strong Xiao Sinian and Qi Yin were, they were just Level 4 Ability Users, and the Ability Users around them were only Level 3—it would be a breeze to handle them.
However, he waited for a long time and didn't see a trace of panic on Xiao Sinian and Qi Yin's faces; they didn't even blink.
What was going on?
Qi Yin chuckled, her bell-like laughter usually sounding fine, but now, facing tens of thousands of Level 4 zombies, Yanqi Mountain found it incredibly grating.
She leaned forward slightly, feigning surprise: "Hey Arrogant King, your information is really outdated. Asking us for someone? Did you forget that you personally sent this Wang Hui to Tian Zining to take care of?"
These words were like a thorn, exposing Yanqi Mountain's previous "stupidity," and the veins on his face bulged with anger.
Qi Yin thought of the face under the Black-Robed Person's mask from before, guessing that Yanqi Mountain probably had the same situation.
She dared not imagine how ugly it was, yuck!
At this moment, Tian Zining, who had been hiding in the back, controlled a drone to quickly take flight and synced the footage to Yanqi Mountain's phone.
"My lord, the situation seems a bit wrong."
Yanqi Mountain's brows knitted into a frown. In the footage, the base, which should have been packed with survivors, now showed not a single ordinary person; it was entirely filled with rows of troops already lined up.
Seeing him dazed, the smile on Qi Yin's face became even more pronounced, and she mocked him without mercy.
"Arrogant King, do you know why you've always been the eternal runner-up?"
She pointed to her head: "Because, you have no brain. You think everyone is like you, treating human lives as bargaining chips? Also, why do you always wear a mask? Is it because you're ugly?"
The survivors in the base had long been transferred overnight to the mountain camp behind the base; they were incredibly safe.
Xiao Sinian added, "Probably not, after all, our Deputy Army Commander Yan's appearance before was still quite commendable."
Yanqi Mountain was someone who couldn't endure things, and now, having been poked in his weak spots by the two of them, he was trembling with rage. His black robe moved without wind, and the black mist he had been restraining suddenly appeared and swirled around his entire body.
He looked like a pitch-black mass, barely even visible.
Lu Jinwen couldn't help but mutter: "Damn, a monster!"
"Terrifying!"
Yanqi Mountain felt like a clown being toyed with; he hadn't come here today to be delivered to someone's doorstep to be humiliated.
"Wang Hui!" He squeezed the name out from between his teeth.
"Hand her over to me, and perhaps I can consider letting you die a little less painfully!"
He had just checked; the weapons in the hands of President's army were just ordinary firearms. The super weapon must still be in Wang Hui's space.
That was the key to turning the tide of the battle.
Once he obtained the super weapon, the Level 4 zombie army would lose its threat, and Xiyin Base could just wait to become a dead city.
Qi Yin and Xiao Sinian exchanged a glance; as their gazes met, it seemed they reached some silent understanding.
"Oh, you mean Wang Hui." Her tone was very relaxed, as if she were talking about an insignificant old object.
"Since you are so obsessed with her, then I will reluctantly return her to you!"
Before the words faded, something wrapped in rags was lifted from the ground by her and thrown directly off the city wall.
That thing was obviously the dying Wang Hui.
Yanqi Mountain stared at the falling object, his eyes filled with greed, and he subconsciously reached out to catch it.
As long as he got Wang Hui and obtained the super weapon, wouldn't Xiao Sinian and the others still be his prisoners?
However, just as he was about to catch Wang Hui, a cold light flashed in Xiao Sinian's eyes on the city wall, and he waved his right hand casually.
"Zzzzt!"
A hard purple lightning whip instantly struck Wang Hui. With a muffled groan, the round object completely turned into charcoal and slammed into Yanqi Mountain's hands with a thud.
The burnt smell and black smoke in his hands made it impossible for Yanqi Mountain to open his eyes, causing him to quickly throw the hot potato in his hands behind him.
A zombie received this "rewarded" food, crunched it twice, finished it, and then smacked its lips in aftertaste.
Yanqi Mountain: ...
Wang Hui was dead! The space was gone, the super weapon was gone too!
Only now did he completely understand that from beginning to end, Wang Hui was just a lure to draw him over.
She had probably long been drained dry by Xiao Sinian and Qi Yin. To them, the only remaining value Wang Hui had was to lure him into appearing.
Monstrous rage and the humiliation of being fooled eroded what little sanity Yanqi Mountain had left. In no time, the black mist around him surged, looking as ugly as if he were covered in ink.
"Xiao Sinian, Qi Yin, I will tear you into pieces!"
Yanqi Mountain suddenly raised his arm, and a strange bone whistle emitted bursts of piercing screeches.
"Kill, leave none alive!"
