Chapter 120: The Useless One
"When I escaped from Kapa City, the people from Hive Security Company saved my life, so I can only apologize for this matter." Facing Fia's tone that seemed to dig at him, Yang Xiaoyou declined in a more tactful manner.
The mischievous princess's eyes sparkled as if she were contemplating something.
On the other side, Charming Shadow wore a slightly teasing expression and said, "Oh dear, I actually quite liked Sister Fia, but there's nothing I can do. Last time, I casually kidnapped this fellow, and it turned out to be a disaster."
Afterward, she cast a sidelong glance at Yang Xiaoyou with a half-smile. Some matters were better left slightly vague; no one was a fool. Just a few days ago, he had been affiliated with Revenant, and shortly after kidnapping a member of Hive Security Company, things had taken a turn. It was clear that something had happened between them.
However, if the specifics weren't detailed, no one could guess how someone as slender as Yang Xiaoyou could single-handedly infiltrate the laboratory and seize the Controller. That was something that could only be described as horrifying.
With Yang Xiaoyou being rescued from Kapa City, the atmosphere created seemed to suggest that Hive Security Company had deliberately set up a trap for Ming Mei Shuang Ying, with Yang Xiaoyou merely being a pawn in their game. After all, Lucas and Fein, who were protecting the student group, were also members of Hive Security Company.
And 'coincidentally,' they hadn't accompanied Qian Kai during that time. This side evidence was quite substantial, and such matters wouldn't be laid bare for all to see; it perfectly aligned with Yang Xiaoyou's Heart's requirements.
Even now, Charming Shadow felt as if she were in a dream regarding some recent events. The strength of her cheap master continually refreshed her previous understanding.
"Alright, Sister Fia, digging at people right in front of me isn't something partners should do." Nobunaga Hideyoshi calmly intervened to diffuse the situation, his handsome face showing a hint of dissatisfaction.
"Yes, yes, I won't dig anymore. Actually, doing it in front of you isn't such a big deal; it's not like I'm doing it in front of that unsightly fellow. I was thinking about taking you away too—just perfect for a clean sweep." Fia made a gun gesture with her fingers and winked at Nobunaga Hideyoshi before sticking out her tongue playfully.
With her expression, she resembled a mischievous girl playing around.
However, Yang Xiaoyou, who was becoming increasingly familiar with her nature, understood that this fellow genuinely seemed to have such intentions, which made him feel somewhat irritated.
Nevertheless, HLI Company was now deeply entangled as his partner. Moreover, after establishing contact with Both Sides again, Yang Xiaoyou had redefined his future path and planned to leverage HLI Company's recent satellite network developments.
"Why not just use the handsome guy strategy to win her over once and for all?" At that moment, Yang Xiaoyou also flashed through some strange thoughts, realizing that this guy was far more appealing than Li Hong. However, he quickly dismissed such ideas from his mind.
If it were just a silly girl, that would be one thing, but someone as cunning as that fellow shouldn't risk losing everything they had.
Yang Xiaoyou was self-aware; he was completely superior in terms of memory, computation, and deduction. Yet when it came to schemes and political maneuvering, he couldn't compete with the Silver-Haired Princess, who had grown up in such an environment.
In a tactical showdown, Yang Xiaoyou was confident that he could leverage his terrifying ability to recreate environments to gain the upper hand. However, after gaining a local advantage, he might still fall victim to her larger schemes.
He genuinely felt like a dog unsure of how to approach a porcupine.
"Tsk, your school really is a place full of hidden talents. Don't worry; I won't say much." Qian Kai looked at Yang Xiaoyou with interest. The mercenary business wasn't something just anyone could handle. Although he found Hive Security Company’s people distasteful, even the three random fellows he encountered were quite terrifying. Despite being an external member, this one must have some outstanding specialty.
Otherwise, that crazy woman wouldn’t have adopted such a defensive posture. Although she kept mocking him verbally, he understood that an ordinary fellow with a gun couldn't possibly stop someone of his caliber.
"Ah? Why is it so noisy?" After a while of commotion, Huang Wei and the others, who had been sleeping like dead pigs and were completely unaware of their brush with danger, began rubbing their eyes and waking up.
They mumbled to themselves as they stirred.
However, once they were fully awake and saw so many people standing in front of them, they were momentarily stunned.
"Boss Qian, you came to rescue us!" Huang Wei stared blankly at Qian Kai before exclaiming excitedly.
He also couldn't help but glance at the two new beauties. Fia he had already seen, but the striking woman in androgynous clothing was quite eye-catching and exuded an air of confidence.
Noticing the fellow beside him looking at her with lewd eyes, Nobunaga Hideyoshi frowned slightly. But since this was Aser's classmate, he didn't bother to make a fuss about it.
"I don't have the ability to come specifically to rescue you in this environment; it's just a coincidence. But now that I've found you, I won't just leave you be," Qian Kai said, fulfilling his duty without taking any credit for himself.
However, it wasn't over yet. From another direction came Lucas's somewhat carefree voice, "Housekeeper, that old fellow seems to be on his last legs. Should we take him out?"
Fia, who had been keeping an eye on things and occasionally rolling her eyes, immediately set aside everything else upon hearing this. She jumped up and exclaimed, "No, no! He can't die yet! Weimar, let's go!"
Without hesitation, she rushed over. As long as there was even a glimmer of hope before that fellow turned into a Zombie, she wouldn't give up.
Hearing such words, Yang Xiaoyou was puzzled about who had gotten into trouble to make that ancestor so anxious. The current situation seemed to be unfolding as he had anticipated. He believed that this group of fellows wouldn’t be bored enough to flaunt their Mercenary status in front of his classmates.
Well, after all, life had to go on. While a few people might know about it, the identity used as a smokescreen could become quite troublesome.
For safety's sake, he stood up and followed them.
Looking over at Fia, who seemed to be gathered around someone with Weimar's company, Yang Xiaoyou initially wanted to see who it was. However, just then, a voice reached his ears.
"It's you?! You’re still alive!" Wang Cheng, lying in a corner and seemingly on the brink of death, widened his eyes in surprise at the sight of the lively Yang Xiaoyou approaching.
Initially, they had been dispersed by Nobunaga Hideyoshi and were unaware of what lay behind that machine. Now seeing this fellow he despised walking toward him filled him with astonishment.
He had thought that under such circumstances, the group that went out for fun must have already met their end. This belief had been his way of comforting himself—convincing himself that there were others worse off than him.
But now, that motivation crumbled in an instant.
At the same time, seeing the even more detestable fellows following Yang Xiaoyou made him feel like he was about to spit blood.
"Why?! Why do you all get to live just fine? Why do I have to be infected? Cough cough!" he shouted frantically while coughing incessantly, dark red blood trickling from the corner of his mouth.
His complexion visibly darkened at an alarming rate.
His eyes turned bloodshot.
As soon as this change was noticed, the other students nearby quickly avoided that area as if it were a plague. This scene was not the first of its kind they had witnessed.
"Hey, Tsk Tsk, it should only be a minute or two before he changes. Those Vaccines have held off this long, which is somewhat impressive, but unfortunately, this fellow is useless." Lucas, leaning against the wall, drew his dagger, ready to deliver a finishing blow.
Just as the transformation into a Corpse was not yet complete, the figure suddenly jumped up and lunged toward Yang Xiaoyou, muttering, "If I'm going to die! You won't get away either! Haha, as long as I scratch you, you'll definitely get infected!"
"Tch, useless is just useless." Watching Wang Cheng approach with stiff movements that even an ordinary person would find slow, while he rambled on in a crazed manner, Yang Xiaoyou couldn't help but roll her eyes.
She had indeed not misjudged him. Not only was he not comparable to a Licker, but this fellow's infection situation was also quite peculiar; he was one of those who couldn’t even become a Corpse due to the virus killing him directly. After his consciousness faded away, he lost even the instinctual abilities.
A true waste.
Yang Xiaoyou then did not avoid the fellow whose movements were slower than a Corpse. She stepped right in front of him and swiftly slapped him down to the ground.
The fellow who fell to the ground immediately lost all sound, his eyes wide open as if he couldn't close them even in death.
