Chapter 219: Caught ( 1 )
Hearing the soldier's words, the Colonel snorted and said, "I'm the Commander-in-Chief of this camp. I can go wherever I want!"
Then, glaring at the Eagle team members, he added, "You better step aside, or don't blame me for being ruthless!"
As soon as he said this, a fireball the size of an apple flew at high speed toward his face. The Colonel and his subordinates quickly jumped aside, barely dodging the attack.
Boom!
The fireball hit the ground, leaving a charred pit behind. A layer of cold sweat appeared on the Colonel's forehead when he saw this.
He straightened his back and shouted, "Who is it?! Come out!"
Not long after, Rong Mo'er walked out from behind the soldiers and said, "It's me."
When the Colonel saw her, he was enraged. He pointed a finger at her and yelled, "You are trying to murder an officer! Everyone, catch her!"
As soon as he said this, his soldiers pulled out their guns and aimed at Rong Mo'er. Compared to zombies, she felt these people were no threat at all.
Raising her hand, countless wisps of flame appeared out of thin air. With a wave of her hand, the flames flew toward the soldiers and entered the barrels of their guns.
In less than two seconds, the guns turned red-hot as if forged in a furnace. The heat became unbearable, and the soldiers screamed in pain as they dropped their weapons one after another.
"Ouch!" freewebnøvel.com
"Ah!"
Those who reacted too slowly suffered severe burns. When they looked at their palms, they saw blistered, charred skin. Some even bled from the higher degree of the burns.
As the guns hit the ground, Rong Mo'er increased the fire's temperature. In moments, the weapons were engulfed in red flames and melted into puddles of molten metal.
The Colonel was stunned as he watched this. These guns were one of his most important bargaining chips. Without guns, how could he control the survivors and ability-users?
At this moment, he could only stare at Rong Mo'er, fear and anger filling his eyes. He had met other elemental ability-users before, but none could control their powers to this degree.
Everyone thought she would stop there—but unexpectedly, Rong Mo'er bent her knees and, in the blink of an eye, appeared behind the Colonel.
Before anyone could react, she grabbed the Colonel by the nape with one hand and held a dagger in the other. As she pressed the blade to his neck, the Colonel froze, not daring to move.
"Y-you, what do you want?" he asked tremblingly.
Rong Mo'er didn't reply and simply dragged him toward the Eagle team's location.
Realizing how easily she had subdued the soldiers, one of the Colonel's aides quietly slipped away. If they were going to fight an ability-user, they would need other ability-users of their own.
After she walked back to Gu Shaoze, Rong Mo'er stood to the side, the dagger still pointed at the Colonel's throat.
Seeing this, the surrounding soldiers froze, unsure of what to do. They looked at each other hesitantly before the Colonel's aide stepped forward and said, "Comrade, if you let go of the Colonel, we will treat it as if nothing happened."
"Comrade, this is a military camp. You had better release the Colonel, or you will be punished by the law for harming an officer," another soldier added.
Gu Shaoze chuckled when he heard this and asked, "Comrade, do you really think the law still exists? It's been two weeks since the zombies appeared. Don't be so naive as to think the government can still control the people—especially ability-users."
He took a step forward, glanced around at the soldiers, and said, "You keep talking about the law, but deep down, you know exactly what this scoundrel and his cronies have done."
"Using his position to bully ordinary citizens, is that what you call an officer? Corrupt, greedy, bootlicking the wealthy while suppressing honest officers, is he even worthy of being the Commander-in-Chief?"
After saying this, Gu Shaoze snapped his fingers, and a ball of water floated in front of the Colonel's face.
Turning to him, he said, "Colonel, didn't you come to capture me and my girlfriend just so you could force me to supply water to your people for free? Since you like my water so much, I will let you enjoy it to the fullest!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he flicked his wrist, and the ball of water enveloped the Colonel's head. The Colonel's eyes widened in horror as he struggled to free himself.
But with Rong Mo'er gripping his nape and a dagger pointed at his throat, the Colonel didn't dare struggle too hard. One careless move, and the dagger might slit his throat—if that happened, escaping would be the least of his worries.
Seeing this, the soldiers shouted, "Let go of the Colonel!"
Gu Shaoze smiled and said, "Letting him go isn't impossible—but you will have to meet my conditions."
"We won't negotiate with a terrorist!"
Gu Shaoze blinked in surprise at the accusation, then burst out laughing. After a moment, he said, "I never thought I would be labeled a terrorist one day."
"Well then, if you are not going to negotiate, forget it. But I should remind you—your Colonel might suffocate if you keep stalling."
The soldiers turned to look at the Colonel. His eyes were beginning to roll back, and his face had turned bright red from lack of oxygen.
At that moment, several water balls flew toward Gu Shaoze and Rong Mo'er.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Seeing the incoming attack, Rong Mo'er launched a fireball the size of a watermelon. When it collided with the water balls, they exploded into vapor, but the fireball continued its trajectory.
"Fuck!"
Boom!
Before the fireball could hit the water-type ability-users, they leapt back, narrowly avoiding the attack.
Duagh! Crack!
When they landed and looked up, Gu Shaoze was already in front of one of them. With a powerful roundhouse kick, he sent the man flying as the cracking of his bones could be heard clearly.
