Chapter 269 : So Much Fun
Chapter 269 - So Much Fun
The emblem of the Black Spring Freemasonry was unmistakable to everyone present, even those who had never seen it before would recognize it instantly at this moment.
Therefore, when the oncoming vehicles charged toward them, everyone was terrified out of their wits. Instead of even thinking about fighting back, they desperately turned their steering wheels to avoid these madmen.
The espers who had been following them remained silent. Even when they saw the aggressive Black Spring Freemason members, they had no intention of intervening, allowing the team to handle the situation on their own.
Unless lives were at risk, they would simply stand by and watch coldly.
However, the aristocratic youths participating in this hunting expedition weren’t complete incompetents. Compared to the others, they remained calm and composed, now directing their drivers to avoid collisions with other vehicles.
This was to ensure that while dodging the Black Spring Freemasonry' rampage, they wouldn’t accidentally crash into their own allies.
Meanwhile, Ye Sheng, sitting beside Gu Luoyu, widened her eyes. Unlike the panic of others upon seeing the Black Spring Freemasonry' crow emblem, her dark eyes instead flickered with a hint of nostalgia.
The Black Spring Freemasonry, they were old friends of hers!
Since arriving in the wasteland world, Ye Sheng had crossed paths with the Black Spring Freemasonry several times. They were like unkillable cockroaches, and every time, she somehow managed to squeeze some benefits out of them, almost like they were gift-bearing messengers.
But for the base, they were nothing but trouble-making weapons of destruction. Take, for example, their unauthorized research into transformation potions.
After forcing ordinary people to drink the potion, they underwent horrific mutations, creating a horde of cannibalistic monsters.
Now, after the base issued extermination missions and finally managed to reverse the dire situation, barely restoring balance, they suddenly announced an unexpected truce with the Black Spring Freemasonry for the sake of oceanic exploration.
News that left everyone utterly dumbfounded.
So, when Ye Sheng saw the malicious grins of the people in the oncoming vehicles, she couldn’t help but ask in confusion, “Ah Yu, didn’t the base already announce a collaboration with the Black Spring Freemasonry? Why are they still attacking us?”
“Even if we’re cooperating, that doesn’t mean they’ll stop killing.”
Gu Luoyu’s explanation was blunt and instantly understandable.
The harsh, uncertain survival conditions of the wasteland had long ingrained violence into people’s nature. In the base, where order still held sway, such impulses had to be suppressed. But organizations like the Black Spring Freemasonry weren’t bound by rules or restrictions.
All they needed to know was how to follow orders and complete tasks.
Thus, they could treat killing as a game. It didn’t matter if their victims were from the base or even their own comrades, as long as it didn’t interfere with their objectives, anything went.
While Gu Luoyu and Ye Sheng were talking, the lead vehicle of the Black Spring Freemasonry had already charged forward. Fueled by violence and madness even in their wounded state, they showed no signs of slowing down, ramming straight into a vehicle that failed to dodge in time.
Amidst screams and cries, before the overturned vehicle could even come to a stop, a pillar of fire suddenly erupted, landing squarely on it and swiftly reducing the wailing victims to charred remains.
Following the direction of the flames, it became clear that someone had pulled out a flamethrower.
Witnessing this scene, Ye Sheng frowned in disgust. Though she had seen all manner of brutal deaths in the wilderness, this kind of deliberate, sadistic slaughter still triggered a visceral revulsion.
This was outright torture!
The moment Ye Sheng furrowed her brows, Gu Luoyu noticed immediately. She glanced down, reaching out to gently pat Ye Sheng’s back as she asked considerately, “Feeling sick?”
“A little.”
Ye Sheng nodded honestly. Then, she tugged at the corner of Gu Luoyu’s sleeve and tentatively asked, “Ah Yu, I want to teach these guys a lesson, with my space bullets!”
Given that Gu Luoyu’s psychic energy was currently unstable, Ye Sheng figured it’d be best not to rely on her if possible. She was confident she could handle the Black Spring Freemason members herself.
After all, the skills she had drawn from the gacha space were incredibly powerful!
Plus, they were long-range attacks, no risk of getting hurt in the process... Ye Sheng was pretty sure she could convince Gu Luoyu to let her join the fight!
And indeed, she was right.
“Go play.”
Gu Luoyu’s lips curved into a soft smile, her gentle crimson eyes filled with encouragement, instantly energizing Ye Sheng.
When it came to improving her abilities, Gu Luoyu never restrained Ye Sheng or clipped her wings. Instead, she offered full support, knowing full well that danger lurked everywhere in the perilous wasteland.
Even with Gu Luoyu’s formidable strength, absolute safety couldn’t be guaranteed. So, Ye Sheng’s drive to grow stronger was a good thing... Of course, if Ye Sheng didn’t want to push herself, Gu Luoyu wouldn’t force her.
She’d simply demand even more from herself, ensuring Ye Sheng remained unharmed...
With her partner’s permission, Ye Sheng smugly stood up from the passenger seat, her dark eyes gleaming as she fixed her gaze ahead. Seeing the Black Spring Freemason vehicles rampaging like wolves among sheep, she immediately pointed at one of them.
As the skill activation sequence swiftly completed, an invisible projectile shot from Ye Sheng’s hand, hurtling straight toward the target. The moment it collided with the vehicle, a deafening boom erupted.
The sturdy, open-top four-wheeler instantly shattered into several pieces.
And the people inside met the same fate.
The sudden attack quickly snapped the Black Spring Freemason members out of their frenzy. Instead of continuing their assault on the base’s convoy, they ordered their remaining vehicles to regroup.
However, during this process, Ye Sheng’s attacks didn’t stop.
She continued bombarding the Black Spring Freemason vehicles, launching several space bullets in quick succession, smashing and warping one car after another. Now, it was the Black Spring Freemasonry’ turn to scream in terror.
Since the space bullets were invisible, there was no way to predict where the next strike would land. After losing several more vehicles, the Black Spring Freemasonry finally cried out, “Stop! Cease fire! Our organization has a truce with the base! If you keep attacking, you’ll be violating the agreement!”
“......”
Ye Sheng was so incensed by their shameless words that she nearly laughed.
They hadn’t brought up this so-called agreement when they were the ones attacking first... Feeling thoroughly displeased, Ye Sheng had no intention of stopping now. Coincidentally, her earlier attacks had nearly drained her stamina. Now, she mustered the last bit of energy to create one final, tiny space bullet.
She then hurled it straight at the one who had spoken.
Soon, accompanied by a pained howl, the man clutched his injured buttocks, collapsing onto the seat, unable to get up. The other Black Spring Freemason members grew even more wary, terrified they might be the next to suffer a blasted backside.
Having exacted her revenge, Ye Sheng clapped her hands and sat back down, her achievements hidden but her satisfaction evident.
Hehe, stretching her legs every now and then, so much fun~
