Bab 155: 15
"There's actually such a thing?"
After hearing about Gou Liang's' tragic experience ', the leader of the Kyushu Superpower Squad was shocked.
Of course, he knew that the person in front of him was not someone to be trifled with, nor was he someone with a good temper. Moreover, Ji Guangyuan had humiliated Gou Liang. If it were him, he would not be able to tolerate it either.
However, this was a special period after all. Even if Ji Guangyuan was only a level two superpower user, it was still very difficult for the base to cultivate him. He did not want to make a big deal out of the personal grudge between Gou Liang and Ji Guangyuan … Well, when he thought about it this way, the beast pills that the base used to cultivate superpower users were given by Shi Buyu and Gou Liang. If they wanted to deal with someone, they did not have the right to say anything.
The leader was in a dilemma and said somewhat awkwardly, "Miss Tang, Major General Shi, how do you want to deal with this matter?"
Yu Lin could see his worry. When he saw that Shi Buyu and Gou Liang did not intend to answer, he smiled and said, "Leader Chen, don't be afraid. Our boss and Miss Tang are not murderers, nor are they narrow-minded people who would kill people if they don't like them. However, this Ji Guangyuan is a heartless person. We have to remind you. "
"At that time, Miss Tang only woke up a little later because she absorbed beast blood slower than others. He instigated the survivors of A City to leave Miss Tang in the pile of corpses to fend for herself. His former boss was Jia Nanzhu. They really did leave Miss Tang behind. They did not even leave him a bottle of water or a piece of bread. If it were not for us at that time, who knows what would have happened to Miss Tang. "
"If it were me, I would be a Bodhisattva if I didn't kill him now!"
Yu Lin's anger was sincere.
Even if they did not have such a relationship with Gou Liang back then, seeing how Jia Nanzhu treated Gou Liang, who still had vital signs, like a dead person, they looked down on him from the bottom of their hearts.
When the leader heard that there was actually such an inside story, he swallowed back the words he wanted to say to Ji Guangyuan. He frowned and said, "It seems that Ji Guangyuan is rotten to the core."
He sighed and said, "Actually, the danger that the team is in this time is related to him."
The Kyushu team's previous battles were all against level one beasts. Although they had received quite a bit of long-range combat training from Shi Buyu and the others over the past year or so, other than the five Level 3 Metahumans in the team who had been sent to the Death Zone for special training, the others were all new to the Death Zone. They had no experience in fighting against metabeasts.
As a result, the leader naturally placed caution above all else. The patrol team's range of activity had strict rules. As long as they obeyed the rules, they would definitely not encounter any level three beasts.
The reason why the patrol team had mistakenly entered the level three beast's territory was all because of Ji Guangyuan, who was in charge of the exotic beast detector at the time. He had clearly seen a level three exotic beast, but because he was eager for quick success and wanted to lead the team of ten level two superpower users to kill the level three exotic beast and gain merit, not only did he not report what he knew, he even purposely led the team into the level three beast's territory.
The leader said in a deep voice, "If it weren't for the injured members of the patrol team reporting this to me in private, I might have really been fooled by him. I might have really thought that he was injured the most because he sacrificed himself to save his comrades, and not because he wanted to take the credit for himself."
"Heh, as expected of Jia Nanzhu's trusted aide. Snakes and rats alike!"
Zhou Gao immediately recalled how Jia Nanzhu had rashly made a move against the exotic beast, resulting in the deaths of a few hundred survivors. Whenever he thought about it, he would get angry. He didn't have a good impression of Ji Guangyuan, Jia Nanzhu's number one lackey, to begin with, and now his impression of him was even worse.
Qin Bei also cursed him.
Gou Liang furrowed his brow. Shi Buyu pinched his fingers to calm him down and asked, "Since that's the case, Leader Chen, you should have a way to deal with him, right?"
The leader hurriedly replied, "I don't plan on letting a black sheep like him stay in the team anymore. Otherwise, who knows when he'll cause the deaths of his teammates. I plan on sending these injured members back in the name of recuperating. As for Ji Guangyuan, I won't let him come back. "
"Leader Chen is really gentle to his subordinates."
Shi Buyu chuckled.
The leader felt awkward. Of course he could tell that Shi Buyu wasn't praising him, but scolding him for being soft-hearted.
"Then, Major General Shi, how do you think we should deal with him?"
"This kind of person doesn't deserve to be a soldier."
Shi Buyu said in a deep voice, "Since he's made such a big mistake, you don't have to try to cover it up. A mistake is a mistake, and a mistake should be punished! You should lay the matter out clearly and give the others a bit of a warning. This kind of thing can't happen again! "
As people awakened their abilities, many people's self-awareness expanded infinitely. Ji Guangyuan was just one of the most stupid people.
As the saying goes, a lesson from the mistakes of the past is a teacher for the future.
If Ji Guangyuan's example wasn't given a heavy punishment, then what kind of discipline would the team have? Moreover, if they didn't state the matter clearly, it was hard to guarantee that there wouldn't be other self-righteous people who had the same idea as Ji Guangyuan, implicating the lives of their teammates. Moreover, if something similar were to happen again in the future, would the responsibility lie with the idiot who committed the crime or the leader's soft-heartedness?
Hearing this, the leader's face became dignified and he said, "Major General Shi, I was wrong."
In the post-apocalyptic world, where the population of more than one billion had shrunk to three million, every survivor was treated like a treasure. Therefore, even if they committed a crime, the leader would be lenient because they didn't kill anyone. However, he had forgotten how unfair this attitude was to the other innocent people. He had also not thought about how much harm was hidden in it.
After thinking this through, the leader knew what to do.
Seeing that they had finished discussing how to deal with Ji Guangyuan, Gou Liang said, "Leader Chen, there's something I'd like to trouble you with."
Leader Chen listened attentively. After listening, even though he was extremely disappointed with Ji Guangyuan, he couldn't help but light a candle for him.
Not long after Shi Buyu and the others left, an emergency meeting was held in the camp of the Kyushu Superpower Squad. Leader Chen reported Ji Guangyuan's actions in front of the five hundred or so Superpower Squad members.
After saying this, the leader looked at the culprit and said, "Ji Guangyuan, you concealed the information about the level-three beast and deliberately lied to your teammates, leading them into danger. I've already verified this matter. What else do you have to say? "
Ji Guangyuan looked at the leader in shock and refuted loudly, "I'm innocent!"
"Leader, the detector really malfunctioned at that time. I didn't know we would encounter a level-three beast. If I had known earlier, why didn't I run away? Why would I be the most seriously injured in the team? Leader, in order to give everyone a chance to escape, I was the one who brought up the rear and got seriously injured. I'm not greedy for any credit, but if you say this, I'm really … "
He had a heartbroken look on his face. After a while, he continued, "This mistake wasn't anyone's fault, and no one died. Even if the base knew, they wouldn't blame anyone. Leader, you can't … you can't treat me like this. "
His words were intermittent, and he didn't seem to be able to convey his meaning, but the others understood what he meant. He was saying that the leader was afraid of taking responsibility, so he pushed all the blame for this accident onto him.
Although they didn't know whether it was true or not, and the ability users trusted the leader more than Ji Guangyuan, they couldn't help but feel a little uncomfortable.
… If things were really as Ji Guangyuan said, and this was how the leader treated the ability users who entrusted their lives to him, it was really too disappointing.
The leader wasn't in a hurry to defend himself, but there was one person who couldn't stand watching his performance. He stepped forward with a cane and said, "Ji Guangyuan, you don't have to pretend! I'm the one who reported you. If you have the ability, come at me. Don't slander the leader! "
The person who spoke was Xiao Li, the patrol member of Ji Guangyuan's team.
"What? You're the one who reported me?! "Ji Guangyuan glared at him and roared," Fine! I risked my life for you, and you actually bit me in the back! You ungrateful thing! "
"F * ck your mother, Ji Guangyuan. How can you say something like that?!"
Xiao Li couldn't take it anymore and smashed his cane. He pointed at Ji Guangyuan and cursed, "Don't treat everyone like fools!"
"Save us my ass. If you weren't the first to run, would you have been injured the most by the level three beast? What do you mean by covering for us? Do you think we're all blind?! Didn't you run slower than us because you were injured first, and that's why you fell behind? When the others were injured later, which one of them did you reach out to save? When the rescue team arrived, if you didn't have a guilty conscience, would you have thrown the ability detector in your hand in the direction of the beast instead of running away? You're destroying the evidence! "
"Don't slander me! I — "
Before Ji Guangyuan could finish his words, the leader interrupted him, "If you didn't do it on purpose, then how do you explain why you led them away from the safe area of the camp?"
"I didn't, Leader, I …"
"What? Are you going to tell me that not only is the ability detector broken, but even the navigation device is also broken? "
"Yes! Leader, that's what you said! "
Ji Guangyuan, who didn't know how to defend himself, shouted.
The leader sneered, and the way the others looked at Ji Guangyuan suddenly changed.
"Reporting, Leader! I've been keeping an eye on the navigation device for twenty-four hours, and there's never been a problem. But just before the accident happened to the fifth team, their team's navigation device suddenly lost contact. It wasn't a malfunction, but someone turned off the navigation device! "
"Reporting, Leader! I wanted to say before that I've carefully checked every team's ability detector when it was taken out of the warehouse. The one given to the fifth team was a new product. It's absolutely impossible for there to be a problem in less than two hours! "
The technician in charge of the navigation device and the ability detector said loudly.
Ji Guangyuan's face turned red. He didn't know how to refute and stuttered for a moment.
Everyone could see from his anxious expression that he was guilty, and they were instantly furious.
Especially those who were injured because of the accident. If it weren't for the leader holding them back, they would have beaten this heartless thing to death!
The leader said, "I'll report Ji Guangyuan's matter truthfully to the base and let the leaders deal with it. However, all of you should take this as a warning! "
"Don't think that a Level 2 Arcanist is invincible. You've all seen a Level 3 Exotic Beast with your own eyes. Not to mention the hundreds of Level 2 Arcanists among you, even five of us Level 3 Arcanists risked our lives to kill that Exotic Beast. Your Deputy Captain Wang was also seriously injured because of it! Here, I have to reiterate one thing: no matter when and where, you must listen to the orders of your superiors. You are not allowed to act on your own. If another Ji Guangyuan appears, no matter what level the Arcanist is, I'll burn him to death immediately! "
"Yes, Leader!"
Everyone had experienced the battle with a Level 3 Exotic Beast and had a clearer understanding of their own strength. They wouldn't make the same mistake as Ji Guangyuan.
Ji Guangyuan still refused to admit it, but no one would believe his contradictory explanation.
Before he was sent away, he begged to see the leader, and for some unknown reason, the leader quickly came to him.
Ji Guangyuan didn't have much hope at first, but when he saw the leader, his eyes lit up in surprise. He cried and confessed, "Leader, I know I was wrong. I didn't expect that Exotic Beast to be so powerful. I just wanted to chase it away so that it wouldn't break into the base …"
"Enough!"
The leader shouted, "Put away these useless words. If you didn't do it for your own selfish reasons, why didn't you report to your superiors when you found a Level 3 Exotic Beast?"
"I was, I was …" Ji Guangyuan had no way to defend himself. He steeled his heart and admitted his mistake, "Leader, I know I was wrong. Please spare me. Help me put in a good word to the superiors. I'm a Metal Arcanist. Doesn't the base need my combat strength? I promise I won't make such a mistake again. I beg you, Leader … "
"If you knew this would happen, why did you do it in the first place? The base values every Arcanist, but one more Arcanist won't make a difference. Don't think too highly of yourself! "
Seeing the crying Ji Guangyuan still trying to defend himself, the leader scolded impatiently, "Enough. I'm not here to listen to your nonsense. I heard you know Miss Tang Tang Tang? "
"What Miss Tang … Tang Tang? Are you talking about that fatty from the Tang family in A City?! "
Ji Guangyuan, whose mind was in a mess, immediately thought of that lucky fatty. Back then, when Shi Buyu saved them from the Vertical Pupil Tyrannosaurus before they arrived at Kyushu Base, that fatty was indeed by their side.
At this moment, hearing the leader's respectful tone, Ji Guangyuan's mind turned, and he suddenly had an idea.
He put on a look of surprise and said excitedly, "Yes, I know the Tang Tang! We used to be from A City. When the apocalypse broke out, it was my ex-boss who took him in and saved his life. Leader, are you looking for him? He and I are from the same hometown. If we meet, we can still talk. "
This might be his last chance. Ji Guangyuan, who was good at currying favor, knew that he was nothing in front of Gou Liang, but he still immediately tried to make friends with him.
The leader no longer had any hope for Ji Guangyuan's character after hearing that. He looked at Ji Guangyuan with a cold smile and said, "I didn't expect you to be so influential. That's right, Miss Tang remembers you, and she has a very deep impression of you. When they came to rescue us this time, Miss Tang even asked me to take care of you. "
Ji Guangyuan was filled with doubts, but more than that, he was ecstatic.
"So that's how it is, Miss Tang …"
The leader, who was disgusted by him, didn't want to waste any more time with him. He said directly, "Miss Tang said that you took care of him when he was in the Jia Family's shelter. Thank you for slapping him more than a dozen times, thank you for kicking him, thank you for thinking that he was a burden and throwing him into a pile of corpses so that he could die a worthy death. Otherwise, how could he have such a good life with Mr. Shi? Thank you for all of this, Ji Guangyuan. "
Ji Guangyuan was shocked. "How, how is that possible …"
How could that damn fatty know about this? Wasn't he still unconscious at that time?
The leader said, "I'm here to convey Miss Tang's gratitude. Also, Miss Tang said that when you return to Kyushu Base, he will definitely thank you properly!"
He emphasized the word 'thank you' and was about to get up and leave.
Ji Guangyuan hugged the leader's leg in horror and cried, "It's a misunderstanding, it's really a misunderstanding. I can apologize to Miss Tang in person. Leader, I'm begging you, please let me see Miss Tang. I'll do anything he wants me to! "
The leader pulled his leg back and said coldly, "I'm not that important. Ha, you probably don't know, but Miss Tang is now the leader of the Kyushu Research Institute. Even Leader Yao has to respectfully call her teacher in front of her. Who do you think you are? Just wait for Miss Tang to thank you. "
"No, I can't do that! Leader, I'm begging you, let me see Miss Tang. I'll kowtow to him and apologize. I'll do anything as long as he forgives me. "
Ji Guangyuan cried.
The leader looked at him condescendingly.
Ji Guangyuan's clown-like performance in front of him did not make him feel happy. On the contrary, he only felt sad.
As far as Ji Guangyuan was concerned, his way of doing things could not be said to be wrong in this world. People were selfish, and he did not think that there was anything wrong with his way of doing things — but people had to live with a conscience! If he had the ability to abandon the lives and hardships of his compatriots, and he could even give up the lives of his compatriots without shame or hesitation, who would dare to entrust their backs to such a person?
The leader's last trace of affection for him disappeared, and he said, "Miss Tang said that if you sincerely apologize, he will consider forgiving you."
"Really?!"
Ji Guangyuan did not notice the coldness in the leader's expression and said in surprise, "Then what should I do?"
The leader said, "Do as much sincerity as you can. No one can teach you that."
Ji Guangyuan racked his brains, then suddenly slapped himself in the face and said, "I was blind. My conscience was eaten by a dog. It's all my fault. I hit Miss Tang, and I'm willing to pay her back tenfold, no, a hundredfold. Please forgive me this time, Miss Tang. "
As he spoke, he ruthlessly slapped himself in the face, not showing any mercy.
The leader was shocked. He did not expect this person to lower his self-esteem to this extent.
He clearly knew that Kyushu Base would never take his life. At the same time, he also knew very well that if he returned to Kyushu Base this time, based on the mistakes he had made, he would never be put in an important position again.
But he still hoped that through Gou Liang, he would be able to obtain Gou Liang's forgiveness. He prayed that Gou Liang would put in a good word for him and erase his previous mistakes so that he would be able to use Kyushu Base again.
… Did this person really reflect on the crux of the problem?
Seeing how ruthless Ji Guangyuan was towards himself, the leader only felt a chill in his heart. After Ji Guangyuan slapped himself until his face was swollen, he mercifully opened his mouth to interrupt the other party's "Teacher Tang, I was blind, Teacher Tang, I was wrong" begging for mercy and said, "Teacher Tang said that what he said just now was a joke. He won't forgive you."
Ji Guangyuan did not stop slapping himself in the face. He raised his swollen face and looked at the leader in confusion.
"Miss Tang said that she's sorry. She didn't want to have such a good memory." After a pause, the leader said, "You're on your own now."
After he finished speaking, he quickly left. He did not want to stay there for even a second longer.
Ji Guangyuan knelt in the same spot for a long time in a daze before he suddenly let out a shrill cry.
Gou Liang curled his lips and looked away from the system monitor. Idiot, if it wasn't for the fact that my dear Shi Xiaoyu doesn't like to be rough, I would've made you cry so hard you wouldn't even have a place to cry!
[System: Master, your heart has become more and more irritable ever since you came to the transitional world.]
[Gou Liang sighed. I can't help it. I've had enough of the feeling of being toyed with by the Main God once.]
Hearing the alien beast's roar outside the car, Gou Liang frowned. If he could, he really didn't want to take another step into the transitional world.
"Xiao Kener, what's wrong?"
Shi Buyu keenly sensed the change in his mood. He stopped his long-distance training and walked towards him.
Gou Liang stretched out his hand and said, "You haven't touched me for three hours, twenty-five minutes, and seven seconds."
Seeing that he felt wronged, Shi Buyu laughed and hugged him. He patted his back and said, "It's my fault."
And so, in a first-class secret meeting room in Kyushu Base, Lieutenant General Yao and the remaining five Level 3 Ability Users brought back a handsome young man with dimples the moment they saw the Major General Shi leave. They placed him on their laps casually and said, "Then, from now on, my Miss Tang and I will guide everyone in the next step of the alien beast attack simulation training."
Lieutenant General Yao: … Forcing dog food into a lonely old man's mouth. How annoying.
