Chapter 30 Black Storm

boom!

The sudden explosion startled the northeastern part of the city of rebirth.

A two-story building that usually served as a rest stop for members of the Black Fire Gang was now billowing with thick smoke.

Wang Jixuan, moving through the darkness, flipped and jumped onto the roof of a roadside building, making no sound and crouching low to hide in a corner.

He tapped the edge of his helmet, and the tactical helmet automatically switched to long-range mode. His field of vision turned light green, allowing him to see the movement of gang members in the low-light environment.

At this moment, Wang Jixuan was more than a kilometer away from the explosion point.

After eliminating the dozen or so Blackfire Gang thugs in the building, Wang Jixuan, referring to the method recorded in the landlady’s book “Weapons That Make Blade Beasts Fear,” used a rope and two concentrated high-explosive grenades to create a booby trap that would be triggered upon entering the building.

Don’t say it.

You know what?

This is much more powerful than a low-level Explosive Fire Talisman!

However, the Explosive Fire Talisman can be stacked infinitely and detonated simultaneously, so both have their own merits.

Wang Jixuan noted down several buildings from which at least ten armed men rushed out at the same time, then turned and ran into the night.

Before the Blackfire Gang can activate ‘Full Illumination’ again, he must seize the time to launch surprise attacks on several more areas.

Also be careful to avoid psionicists who number at least three.

A few minutes later.

A small dance hall filled with panting, groans, profanities, and laughter awaits its fate in the dim light.

A sign outside the dance hall reads “Not Open to the Public,” and an alarm system that automatically captures images of strangers has been installed at the entrance.

Unfortunately, Wang Jixuan did not intend to go through the main gate.

He was sitting on the edge of the roof of this three-story building, his two dangling feet swaying slightly. His spiritual senses, which had expanded their range of detection, carefully sensed all around and recorded the auras of more than thirty living people.

Wang Jixuan took out four magazines, inserted them into the sides of his belt, and held two silenced pistols in his palms, assuming several shooting positions.

Because Young Master Zhou pays for all the weapons and ammunition, and it’s very difficult for him to obtain Blade Beast Blood through his channels, therefore…

‘Try not to waste a single talisman.’

Take deep breaths, then stop shaking your legs.

Wang Jixuan’s body plummeted like a free fall!

He landed a short distance away, then hooked his left wrist along the edge of the roof and slipped smoothly into the open window on the third floor, kicking back the curtains.

The four men and four women, who were doing a healthy post-meal exercise together, were all stunned for a moment, looking up blankly at the smooth, round black helmet.

puff!

Wang Jixuan raised his hand and blew up a tattooed man’s head.

Blood splattered all over the wall.

“ah–“

“Lie down!”

Puff, puff puff!

Three bursts of blood erupted almost simultaneously, and the remaining three men, without time to find cover, had holes appear in their heads at the same time.

‘With such slow reflexes, how dare you join a gang?’

Wang Jixuan curled his lip slightly, his pistol already pointed at the screaming women.

They fell silent instantly.

Adhering to the rule of not killing women and children when eliminating the demonic sect, Wang Jixuan did not do much and quickly walked towards the bedroom door.

He noticed, of course, that a woman’s expression was unusually calm, and he could also see that she was secretly reaching for the pistol on the bedside table.

Master Wang was not in a hurry at all; he simply waited.

The woman grabbed the gun, cocked it with practiced ease, and was about to raise it…

puff!

She suddenly looked up, revealing a bloody hole between her eyebrows, her wide eyes filled with resentment.

‘Even if I can’t sense your malevolent aura, can’t I still see the tattoos on your body?’

Wang Jixuan silently walked to the door, sensing a group of thugs rushing towards him in the corridor. He pulled the pin on a grenade from his belt, opened the door, and casually threw it out. He held a handful of nuts in his left hand and silently counted while holding a gun in his right.

Three, two, one.

boom!

A cloud of square-shaped dust erupted from the wall, and the three remaining women inside screamed.

The instant after the explosion, Wang Jixuan slammed open the door and lunged forward, his left wrist lashing out as the nut shot out, creating holes in the smoke and dust from the explosion, with streaks of blood splattering behind it!

A series of muffled groans;

After the not-so-intense gunfire subsided.

The corridor was filled with the corpses of Blackfire Gang thugs.

Wang Jixuan leaped out of the window and crashed into the first floor, firing two pistols simultaneously. This eliminated several gunmen peering up from the stairwell, further disrupting the already chaotic dance floor filled with smoke.

Unfortunately, there are still several men and women exuding a menacing aura in the basement.

Wang Jixuan was currently unable to use earth-遁 (earth-遁 is a technique for escaping/transporting), and did not intend to rashly enter this underground structure with only one-way passages. He could only throw two grenades into the basement and quickly leave.

Click!

The flash of a camera illuminated the windows across the street.

Wang Jixuan raised his hand and fired a shot, but beyond a certain distance the pistol’s accuracy was somewhat lacking. The bullet grazed the forehead of the gang member behind the window, startling him into ducking.

Wang Jixuan didn’t linger. He crouched down and lunged forward, channeling his energy into his legs as he jumped. He landed steadily on the rooftop, which was more than ten meters high, and disappeared in a few leaps.

Following the pre-planned attack route, Wang Jixuan waited quietly at the edge of the Black Fire Gang’s territory.

After two gunfights, the entire Blackfire Gang was in complete chaos.

A dozen or so pickup trucks equipped with heavy machine guns carried a group of ‘elite squads’ back and forth searching.

But Wang Jixuan soon discovered that the Black Fire Gang still had no intention of illuminating the entire area.

—The power supply for those cold storage facilities and nutrient silos is even more important.

‘If that’s how it is…’

Wang Jixuan pulled a crumpled talisman from his shirt pocket, and with his right hand, he drew a complex pattern of light with his sword fingers.

The remnant soul that he had preserved by expending his spiritual power reappeared, staring blankly at the enormous helmet before him, before its eyes lit up after a long while.

This remnant soul is about to dissipate naturally.

“God, God, I really, really have no savings left, can’t you still let me live?”

Wang Jixuan’s voice came from behind the helmet: “We haven’t found a suitable body for you yet. Don’t worry, this is the last question I’ll ask you.”

“W-What problem?”

Koun-cho complained in frustration:

“After I finish answering, you’ll get rid of me, right? That’s for sure, I know! Because I’ve done that before, first giving them some hope, playing with them, destroying that hope step by step, and then enjoying their reactions…”

Wang Jixuan’s voice was a little cold: “I will do what I say I will do. Now, answer my last question!”

The remnant soul of Guwen Town trembled, its Adam’s apple bobbing up and down.

What other secrets does he have? He even brought out his last pair of underwear!

Wang Jixuan pondered for a few moments.

Kouncho looked inexplicably tense.

Wang Jixuan suddenly asked, “Where did you hide those teas?”

The remnant soul of Koun-cho slipped and almost knelt down.

No, this powerful guy still has his tea leaves hanging on him.

His tea… ah, no, it’s cold storage!

This mysterious psychic is going to attack the Blackfire Gang’s largest cold storage facility!

…

Zhou Zhengde, who had only been asleep for three hours, was awakened by vibration and ringing. He barely opened his eyes and pressed the answer button on the simple projector on his bedside table.

Several rays intersected, and a simple bust immediately appeared.

It was Ban Wenying, who was wearing a gray suit skirt.

“Zhengde, I’m sorry to have disturbed your rest, but you must answer the minister’s question immediately.”

“Huh? What?”

Zhou Zhengde rubbed his eyes, trying to clear his head, and casually covered his pectoral muscles with the blanket.

Ban Wenying, holding a tablet, said quickly:

“Half an hour ago, multiple messages came from the 49th floor that the Blackfire Gang had been attacked. A mysterious psychic attacked the Blackfire Gang’s territory, causing at least 120 deaths and destroying the Blackfire Gang’s largest underground facility.”

The latest novels are first published on 69shuba!

“According to our intelligence, the underground facility contains thirteen material storage facilities and 36,000 blood products prepared for the Joint Defense Force.”

“There are also some life support equipment that keep some… dark, shady products.”

“Because the three sets of power supply equipment in the underground facility were intentionally destroyed by the psychic at the same time, and the upper and lower passages of the cold storage were paralyzed by the explosion, these black market operations will soon become ineffective or die out.”

“In addition, these words were left on the walls of the cold storage hall.”

Ban Wenying turned the tablet towards the shooting equipment and leaned closer.

Zhou Zhengde stared intently at the eight large, elegant characters.

【Ideally, the entire area should be illuminated at all times.】

“He made such a big move?” Zhou Zhengde exclaimed in admiration.

“Zhengde”.

Ban Wenying frowned and said:

“There are no secrets between the upper cities, and it’s no secret that you transport equipment to your psionicists.”

“The minister needs your answer… Are you sure you want to go this far?”

“These are the minister’s exact words. Her tone was very calm. After all, you are the future of the Zhou family, and she doesn’t want to cause any more unpleasantness with you over these trivial matters.”

“But we can also treat these black market products as spoils of war.”

Zhou Zhengde rubbed his cheeks with both hands: “Sister Ying, you know, Mu Liang is not my psychic. He is more like my friend and comrade-in-arms. We get along very well.”

Ban Wenying said, “However, you have not yet provided a report on his source.”

“You can’t force him to do anything,” Zhou Zhengde raised his voice. “And what did you mean by what you just said, Sister Ban? You want to take this opportunity to build up your power and take over the Blackfire Gang’s business, right?”

Ban Wenying said, “This is just a question the minister gave you.”

“Yes, that’s exactly what we’re going to do, and I can give you a definite answer.”

Zhou Zhengde said quickly:

“I apologize for the expired blood products, but I don’t think there’s anything wrong with cracking down on the Blackfire Gang in this way!”

“If the Minister asks, I will say that this is my choice, and that allowing a tiny minority of people in the fortress to prolong their already excessively long lives through organ transplants is an unjust act that I explicitly oppose.”

“Okay, I will give the minister a clear reply.”

Ban Wenying instructed:

“Could you restrain your psionicist? Stop him from destroying large facilities again; rebuilding those things is very resource-intensive.”

“That really depends on Mu Liang’s mood.”

Zhou Zhengde responded with a smile.

He didn’t intend to offer Mu Liang any further advice.

…

at the same time.

The forty-ninth floor, a corner of Wanlijin Gang’s territory.

Inside the tranquil and spiritually rich little wooden cabin.

Wang Jixuan sat quietly on the ground under the bed, shirtless, focusing his mind and entering a shallow state of meditation.

Invisible specks of light converged on him, his breathing rate decreased, and a shimmering glow appeared beneath his skin.

Behind him, a giant curtain seemed to appear, displaying squares containing scenes of battle that were not particularly intense and were mostly repetitive, along with some…

The things he saw and heard had a profound impact on his Daoist beliefs.

Hundreds of white corpses were hanging up like in a cold storage room of a pig slaughterhouse.

Lying in the nutrient tank, with its skin pierced by straws, the ‘material’ almost lost its soul;

The ‘patients’ who were sent to the operating table and had their bellies cut open by doctors with prosthetic limbs…

As the number of blocks increased, the curtain could no longer accommodate them.

Wang Jixuan’s seated figure remained motionless, like a reef or a clay sculpture.

The mortal world is like a floating pagoda, but my path is as firm as a rock.

Knock knock knock knock!

A light knock broke the scene.

Wang Jixuan opened his eyes and glanced at the simple electronic clock on the wall beside him.

“Brother Tian, ​​dinner’s ready!”

Ye Zi’s clear voice called out from outside the door, and then she ran off to knock on the doors of the other sleepy children.

Wang Jixuan jumped up, landing almost silently on her toes, and quickly put on a brown linen shirt.

When he came down, the long table was already full of people on both sides, and two three-year-old children were sitting in wooden children’s chairs. Everyone was holding hands in unison.

These are the rules of the wooden house, set by Grandma Kong.

Wang Jixuan sat at the end of the table, took the hands of the two boys on either side of her, and listened as Grandma Kong spoke in a solemn and earnest tone:

“As long as we help each other and support each other to move forward, we can gradually ignite the flame of civilization in the darkness.”

The children repeated the phrase.

“Alright, enjoy your food,” Grandma Kong said in a serious tone.

The children immediately started eating, and the sound of spoons clattering against plastic bowls filled the air.

Wang Jixuan lowered his head to drink the porridge when his spiritual senses twitched slightly.

Today’s porridge… huh? More sleeping pills?

This is his third time here. Unlike the previous two times, which were on fixed weekend evenings, this time it was only two days apart from the last time.

Is the Blackfire Gang planning to hold a meeting ahead of schedule?

Because of his attack tonight?

Wang Jixuan swallowed the delicious rice porridge in big gulps.
