Armipotent

Chapter 341 - Shallow Scheme, Unexpected Change - Part 3



For someone who had been living an easy life before, living in the base was very tough for Ding Hao. Even with the food, room for six men, and clean clothes provided by the base, he was hardly satisfied.

The people from the hospital where he worked before, the nurses, and the security guards paid no attention to him. He was being ignored and avoided because of the conflict he had with Tang Shaoyang, the leader of the base.

Only after some time, he realized that his status before the world changed had no use. He has to use his own way to climb and get his revenge.

The Boss's absence from the base was the best chance for him. He bootlicked his way to his current for this moment. The moment where he would kill the Boss and claim the base for himself.

"Stop this at once, Ding Hao!" Kang Xue who just came down from the car rushed, trying to help but the guards followed the order dutifully. They released the arrows that aimed at Tang Shaoyang.

Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!

The arrows whistled through the air, and within a short distance, the guards believed that the arrows would kill the man, including Ding Hao. The mad grin on his face was so clear.

Tang Shaoyang was about to activate [Mana Shroud] but he stopped halfway. The arrows were normally shot, not a skill. He wanted to give it a try whether his body was strong enough to receive the shot. Stupid but the best way to experiment since these guards should low-level.

However, the idea could not be realized because Zhang Mengyao arrived in front of him with her shield, blocking all the arrows. Right after that, Wen landed behind the guard's formation. The Jade Eagle knocked all twenty archers very quickly that hardly noticed what he did to them by the others.

Things escalated very quickly as Kairu also jumped out. The seven guards were brought flying with him as he and Wei Xi knocked the shielded guards and spear-holding guards.

This caused the onlookers to step backward, distancing themselves from the group. They were afraid now since the group easily knocked the guards down.

Meanwhile, Ding Hao was left untouched. He froze on the spot as he still could not process the whole situation yet. His people were subdued in an instant.

"What I should do about this one, Boss?" Lu An was already next to Ding Hao. He grabbed the latter by the collar and raised the man like he was holding a cat.

"What are you doing? Release me immediately, I am a Captain of Tarrior of the Tang Empire!" Ding Hao snapped out and blurted out his identity.

"Are you stupid or what?" Kang Xue was already regrouped. She approached Ding Hao and punched him on the belly, "So what if you are a captain, the man you want to kill is your Boss!"

It was so stupid to flaunt the position with the leader himself.

Ding Hao stopped struggling as he covered his belly in pain. The people who watched everything heard what Kang Xue said. A gasp of surprises was heard from them but not everyone believed it.

Tang Shaoyang did not say anything. He approached Ding Hao, he grabbed the man by the neck and dragged Ding Hao with him as he headed toward the base that was already in his sight.

"Bring all of them! It seems I have been too easy with them," Wen, Kairu, and Lu An grabbed the knocked down guards and followed the Boss.

It was unknown who he referred to as "them", the knocked guards or the people who were in charge of the base.

In a certain room

"Ahnn~ Ahnn~ Ahnn~" a woman's moan filled the room. There was a young man and a young girl who was doing sex. The man was having a bliss moment until the door was knocked.

"Captain! Captain Jin! We are under attack!" A man's voice came from behind the door as the knocks were heard.

The man stopped moving, a displeased frown formed on his forehead. He pushed the woman away and immediately dressed up, "Which crazy bastards dared to attack our base!" The young man cussed out while putting on the armor on his body.

Jin Fan went out of his room and met with his subordinate. He came down to the lobby and went straight out of the base through the emergency stairs.

When he arrived at the entrance, he saw Tang Shaoyang was walking in his direction. Jin Fan's pupils widened a little bit as he was not expecting the Boss would come back at this time.

He increased his pace and came out of the lobby, "Welcome back, Boss!" Jin Fan bowed his head and greeted Tang Shaoyang.

He raised his head and realized that something was off with his Boss. Then he realized that in front of the entrance, the guards he recruited were piled up, unconscious with two beastmen watching them. There was another crowd and cars followed from behind. It was for sure the expedition group was coming back, but what was wrong with the guards? Why were they getting knocked out?

Tang Shaoyang halted his steps and looked into the young man. He recognized the man, Jin Fan. A Tarrior who followed him in the first expedition to the hospital. A decent member with decent strength.

"Are you Jin Fan?" He questioned the young man in a flat tone. Jin Fan could not tell whether his Boss was angry or not, he could not read the emotion behind his Boss's flat expression.

"Yes!" Jin Fan nodded his head.

"Where's Cao Jingyi? Call her for me!" He ordered the young man. He trusted the base in her care, so he wanted to hear and know everything about the base from her.

Jin Fan opened his mouth, but then he closed his mouth again. He was about to say something but stopped halfway. The young man seemed to hide something from him.

"Boss!" While Jin Fan remained silent, a voice called him. He turned around, Zhao Zhong was waving his hand.

"You! Gather all Tarriors right now, everyone!" Zhao Zhong halted his steps. His Boss might have no expression and his tone was flat, but he was sure his Boss was angry right now. He glanced toward Wei Xi and Zhang Mengyao, both nodded their heads, indicating Zhao Zhong to get all Tarriors here.

Tang Shaoyang did not wait for an answer as he walked past Jin Fan into the base. There was barely a change for the lobby, "Origin! Call Cao Jingyi right now!"

[Right away, My Lord. However, she is away, it will take some time for her to get here.]

"What do you mean she is away? Does she go outside to clean the zombies?" Tang Shaoyang asked the Smart AI.

[No. She is away from the base to oversee the "Farm Project" which will take some time for her to go back to the base. She has been away for like ten days already, we have encountered some problems there.]

"Can you call her to go back now?" Tang Shaoyang was confused. If she was away, Origin should not be able to communicate with her.

[I can, we have a lot of things to talk about, but you need to take care of your current problems first!]

"Then you should know what happened to the base while I am away, right? What about if we talk it out now, Origin?"

[Yes, I have a big report that will make you upset, but it should not be an issue for you to take care of.]
