AWB Chapter 53 I'll kill you.
Chapter 53 I'll kill you.
After parting ways with Ji Yan, he rushed to the place he was supposed to report to, but fortunately, he wasn't too far off time; there was still some time before the official assembly.
I quickly submitted the documents and, based on my memory of the location, arrived at the rest area. I sat down casually on the floor, watching the people coming and going and greeting each other without saying anything.
After all, Mo Wunian's personality is purely that of a cold, aloof, and gloomy man who doesn't care about others' affairs. His greatest hobby every day is to devote himself to training in the training ground.
It would be a miracle if anyone greeted me.
Anyway, he's used to being alone.
Hey! Mo Wunian! Sitting here alone, lost in thought again!
I felt a slight pain in my face. I looked up and saw a badger slowly walking towards me. My gaze fell on its left leg: although it was covered by clothing, I could tell it was fitted with a prosthesis.
"Looking north? You're still staying in the military camp in this condition?"
He stood up briskly, dusted himself off, and looked at the person still holding documents with some confusion, asking...
"What? I'm just not suited to the front lines anymore. I can still do logistics or coaching work."
"Having served in the military for so many years, I certainly have this much ability."
Silently watching the documents that nearly drowned the other person in their hands, he finally sighed and took half of the documents from the other person, carrying them on his own person.
"Your leg is still injured, yet you're carrying so many documents."
"Tell me, where are you sending it? I need to come back and gather everyone after you're done."
He followed the other person in another direction, inquiring about their recent activities.
"Is it true that the front lines are in dire need of attention again?"
"The defenses should be alright, right? Why are the Elephant Tide attacking in such a hurry?"
"The situation was indeed critical not long ago, and I was also a bit puzzled as to why the residual elephant tide was breaking out so frequently?"
"Fortunately, General Geshu personally led the troops to the defense line and resolved the crisis there in no time. It seems they are already on their way back..."
"Hey... something's not right with your expression."
Upon hearing that familiar yet not entirely familiar name, he nearly stumbled and fell to the ground, documents in tow. His composure crumbled, and he gave an awkward laugh, indicating he was alright.
"It's nothing... I just heard that General Geshu actually led the troops there personally. It seems the situation on the front line is quite dire..."
Bei Wang frowned, looking at Mo Wunian who was trying to appear calm with some confusion, but didn't ask anything.
"It's alright, why don't you know who General Geshu is?"
"Since taking office, he has never suffered a defeat; the purple flames burning from his black blade almost completely consumed all the remaining remnants."
"He was like an uninhabited land on the battlefield, killing gods and Buddhas alike, providing an unparalleled sense of security... I'm not afraid to tell you, I've always idolized him..."
"He's practically every man's idol! The standard for women when choosing a partner..."
"..."
He slowly raised his head and looked at Bei Wang, whose eyes burned with admiration and respect. Although he admitted that the other party was very strong and handsome, definitely one of the top choices in human mate selection criteria.
But what if others find out that the other person is gay, and that their partner is gay...?
He'll probably be beaten to death by a mob of crazy women the next day (see Xia Cai for details).
"General Geshu is very arrogant and looks down on us ordinary soldiers."
"...and they value victory too much, sometimes going to extremes to achieve their goals."
Bei Wang gradually calmed down, and began to rationally analyze the situation, moving away from his initial fanatical worship, and finally let out a slow breath.
"But judging from your expression, you don't seem to agree with this? Or do you have some other opinion?"
His lips twitched, he rolled his eyes, and he was speechless—even if he really told the truth, no one would believe him.
"No, no, I was just thinking..."
"What would happen to someone as proud and undefeated as General Geshu if he made a grave mistake due to a command error one day?"
"Bro, that's a dangerous idea!"
"...Just kidding."
Seeing Bei Wang's "you have a problem" look on his face, he felt that if he said a few more words, the people around him would send him to jail.
Fortunately, they had arrived at the archives room. Seeing the empty room, he placed the documents on the table, turned to say goodbye, but the next moment he heard someone calling Ji Yan's name.
Instinct made him stop, and Bei Wang, who had clearly also heard the shout, stopped and looked at him.
"Didn't we agree that the medical position would be given to me...? How come a 10-year-old child got it..."
"A bunch of useless people... They actually agreed to let a 16-year-old be their guarantor..."
"How am I supposed to skim some profits now..."
Although it was only a few words, it was enough to make him frown and feel a sense of foreboding.
Turning his head, his gaze fell on Bei Wang, only to see an undisguised look of disgust on the other's face, clearly indicating that he had realized the seriousness of the situation.
"What kind of trouble is this kid causing now... Does he really think he can do whatever he wants just because he has some connections?"
"Damn it... after serving in the army for so long, I'm still just coasting along on the rear, trying to survive while others are taking advantage of the chaos..."
"A wasted night-returning soldier!"
Although he had only heard a little, he could understand the situation before him—this world isn't just about people who risk their lives to maintain its beauty; naturally, there are also some filthy and foul beings writhing in the shadows.
It seems I've run into one of those cases...
"Look north, I need all the information about this man within three seconds."
"?"
"Uh... tell me what this kid is?!"
"They dare to set their sights on my students..."
Fortunately, the two were some distance apart, and the commotion went unnoticed by the angry man, giving them a chance to talk.
"Him? Zhang Yue? He was simply pushed into this position through connections."
"They would skip training whenever possible, avoid it whenever possible, and were unwilling to stay on the front lines or even do basic tasks."
“We’ve reported it several times, but in the end, the higher-ups quickly find someone to suppress these things…”
"But I never expected him to even have designs on the medical field..."
Bei Wang, barely suppressing his anger, explained to the other party: "You need to know how important medical care is to the soldiers on the front lines. It's enough to determine life and death."
After briefly understanding the situation, despite his bad expression, he was actually in a bad mood as well: the sword in his hand was already itching to strike.
"...Heh, you have connections up there, don't you?"
"A beating will make them behave."
Ignoring everything else, the sword in his spatial storage was already ready at any moment. He stood up, prepared to rush over and deliver a fatal blow, but was hurriedly pulled back by Bei Wang.
"Are you crazy? Fighting is not allowed in the military!"
"If you get punished by military orders, that will be a big problem!"
"That kid has someone backing him, but you don't!"
He was suddenly pulled to the ground, and as he stood up, clutching his head, he looked at Bei Wang, who was staring at him with concern. He shook his head indifferently.
"So? Do I look like I'm afraid that kid will make things difficult for me?"
"I'll just take the blame when the time comes, you don't need to worry."
"Who told you this was the case! What will happen to Ji Yan if you are punished by military orders? You are his responsible guardian!"
"Wait a minute! You should care about yourself a little!"
His previously irrational mind cleared up a bit after being yelled at like that. Thinking about it, he slapped his forehead in annoyance—he'd completely forgotten about the agreement he had with Ji Yan.
He can get into trouble, but that person's future cannot be ruined by me.
However, their commotion was naturally heard on the other side, and a roar of anger at being discovered rang out instantly.
"Who?!"
Knowing they couldn't escape this ordeal, the two stood up swiftly, quickly tidied themselves, and stared directly at each other.
Zhang Yue hadn't expected the two men to step forward like that. At first, he thought they were some important figures, but upon closer inspection, he realized they were just two soldiers he vaguely remembered, and a mocking smile crept across his face.
"Oh? Looking north?"
"You're already a cripple, why are you still here? Why don't you go back and stay home?"
"The one next to you..."
"They actually survived the front lines!"
Very well, just a few words from him made him feel extremely uncomfortable.
If the people around him hadn't been holding onto his clothes so tightly, preventing him from slapping the other person, he would have guaranteed that the other person would have been slammed against the wall and never be able to be pried off.
"Ha, it's still better than a coward like you who clings to life and fears death."
"Everyone in the military knows you got in through connections? You're a complete idiot."
"It's only right that you were pushed off. Even if I were a cripple, I could still pin you against the wall and rub you against it, believe it or not?"
Bei Wang wasn't much better off than him, but ultimately reason prevailed. He grabbed the person who might rush into a fight at any moment while mocking the other.
"I wouldn't stoop to argue with a cripple, nor would I deign to speak to a mere underage brat."
"Ha, who doesn't know how that kid in the medical department got in through connections?"
"He wasn't even 14 years old yet, and they just randomly found a 16-year-old to sign an agreement."
"Nobody would believe that's okay~"
Thinking of this, Zhang Yue deliberately shifted his gaze to him, giving him a provocative look.
"Oh~ you're feeling guilty, aren't you?"
"It's because they know that the child has connections to get in, so you, as the guarantor, came here secretly..."
"hiss……"
With a powerful punch, the opponent collapsed to the ground, clutching his throbbing face and staring at him in disbelief—though he hadn't intended to kill him, he had still used considerable force in the blow.
Without hesitation, he kicked the man hard, sending him flying against the wall where he crashed into it.
"I***……"
"Swearing? You're still swearing! I'm going to beat you up..."
"If I don't beat you until you scream in pain, I'm not a Mo today..."
Bei Wang hadn't expected Mo Wunian to actually make a move. Seeing Zhang Yue crawling on the ground after being beaten, Bei Wang felt a brief moment of satisfaction before quickly pulling Mo Wunian back from continuing the attack.
"Calm down! There are security cameras here..."
"I'll unplug the surveillance camera, then you can keep hitting me, okay...?"
Realizing he might have acted impulsively, he glared fiercely at the person lying on the ground who was also staring at him, then disdainfully patted himself off and stood beside Bei Wang.
"You...you actually dared to lay a hand on me!"
"If I report this to higher authorities, your life will be over!"
"Including that 10-year-old brat!"
"If you really want to try... I don't recommend killing you right now."
A dense killing intent instantly filled the air, plunging the two people present into a deathly silence. Even Bei Wang stared wide-eyed in disbelief, his gaze fixed intently on him.
He coldly watched Zhang Yue struggle to move backward on the ground, a sneer playing on his lips. Then he crouched down and grabbed the man by the collar.
"There are indeed surveillance cameras here... You have the opportunity to sue me if you want."
"But if people find out you're planning to target the healthcare system... do you think it will take your superiors a lot of effort to suppress it?"
"They will abandon you..."
"Or should we choose a better piece?"
You know the truth in your heart.
It was a blatant threat. Seeing the other person's trembling eyes, he simply flung his hand, causing the other person to fall heavily to the ground.
He clapped his hands in disgust, frowned, and then pulled Bei Wang outside.
"...You wait for this live-fire training!"
He simply rolled his eyes at this: when it comes to actual combat, he's never been afraid of anyone.
Back then, I carved my way through the wilderness of Kitaroku, killing hundreds, if not thousands, of slain corpses.
"Mo Wunian...you were indeed a bit impulsive this time."
"His superiors control the funds... otherwise, they wouldn't have considered getting involved in such a lucrative field as healthcare..."
"Ha, with his personality, I bet he won't dare to report it."
"He's just a pawn; I wouldn't dare cause any trouble unnecessarily."
"Of all people to threaten, why did he have to threaten Huo Huo?"
Looking at Mo Wunian, who was trying hard to suppress his murderous aura, Bei Wang realized that the other party had crossed that person's bottom line.
He truly hadn't expected Mo Wunian to value Ji Yan so much, and his already worried heart became even more anxious.
"You... just a reminder, be careful during combat training."
"It's easy to defend against a spear in the open, but hard to guard against an arrow in the dark."
"It's almost time. I have other things to do on the other end, so please be mindful of your own situation."
The meeting time was approaching, so after nodding to indicate that he understood, he ran towards the meeting point under Bei Wang's worried gaze.
Almost everyone had arrived, and the noise had subsided. Just as he arrived, a whistle blew, and a familiar voice echoed in his ears.
"gather!!!"
They quickly lined up, and in just a few dozen seconds, everyone looked up at their instructor, Yan Yan, who was watching them from the front.
However, the person in the game looked much younger than he had in the game; his nasolabial folds weren't even that deep, and he appeared to be only in his early thirties.
Gazing at the solemn silence of the scene, his heart also grew heavy and solemn—this was no ordinary military training, but a real and tangible trial before stepping onto the battlefield.
And it seemed he could hear that obsession in his mind again.
[We must...take this seriously...we absolutely must...]
[Stop here]
