The Frail Guide Who Devoured an Entire Pollution Zone

Chapter 92: Chapter 92: It’s Starting to Get Chaotic

When the alarm sounded, Shen Ling’an was the first to arrive at the plaza, as if he had anticipated it.

Facing the team members gathering behind him, Shen Ling’an announced loudly, "Captain Lu has been resting recently, so I’ll take the liberty of nominating myself to lead the team and clear out the Mutants."

"Any members who are willing to join my unit, follow my commands, and fight the Mutants with me, step forward now."

Seeing Shen Ling’an try to take the lead, many of the members exchanged uncertain glances.

After all, his previous attempts at taking action were plain for all to see.

Although he always came on strong and did manage to land some blows on the Mutants, the problem was, he always crashed and burn.

He would end up getting thrashed by the Mutants, and in the end, it was always Captain Lu who had to come and clean up his mess.

Recalling this, the crowd was extremely reluctant to follow him into battle.

But there were some who saw an opportunity, and soon, a dozen or so people stepped forward.

One by one, they began to suck up to him, declaring their intent to follow Shen Ling’an and fight the Mutants.

With a team assembled, Shen Ling’an’s chin was practically in the air.

"I know you all still trust Captain Lu and are hesitant to trust me, but Captain Lu carries far too great a burden. Someone needs to step up and lighten his load."

"Today, I will take on this task. I’ll use this opportunity to show everyone that I can handle it. Then, we won’t have to trouble Captain Lu with everything."

Seething with displeasure, Meng Donghua recounted the incident to Xu Qingsui and Lu Jingyu, perfectly mimicking Shen Ling’an’s mannerisms and even getting his tone of voice down to a T.

After listening to him, Xu Qingsui glanced at Lu Jingyu.

"It seems they’re in this together. So this was the plan he mentioned."

Connecting the dots, Xu Qingsui understood Shen Ling’an’s plan.

Lu Jingyu nodded. "Then let’s see what kind of trouble they can stir up."

Meng Donghua looked at the two of them, completely bewildered. He had no idea what they were talking about.

"Donghua, don’t just stand around. Go to the scene and see how this ’Captain Shen’ performs."

Meng Donghua looked baffled. "Captain, when did Shen Ling’an become a captain?"

Lu Jingyu just smiled without answering. "It won’t be long now. Just listen to me. Go check on the situation and report back immediately if anything happens."

Although still completely in a fog, Meng Donghua didn’t dare disobey Lu Jingyu’s orders.

He immediately left the plaza and headed for the location where the Mutants had appeared.

"Why don’t you go see for yourself?" Xu Qingsui asked Lu Jingyu with a smile.

Lu Jingyu shook his head. "I’ve seen what he’s capable of. There’s nothing to see. I’m just sending Donghua to watch in case he pulls any stunts."

"Since they want to seize power, I’ll play along. Let’s see what kind of contribution they can make when the power is actually in their hands."

Lu Jingyu had it all figured out. Xu Qingsui didn’t ask any more questions, and the two of them ambled back to their quarters.

Since they also wanted to know what was happening on the battlefield, after returning to Xu Qingsui’s quarters, they tacitly avoided any mention of leaving.

「Two hours later.」

Meng Donghua finally returned.

But his face was as dark as a thundercloud.

"What’s wrong? Is the situation not resolved?" Lu Jingyu asked.

"It’s been handled, but..." Meng Donghua trailed off, the gloom on his face clearly deepening.

Lu Jingyu realized something must have happened and pressed him, "Tell me in detail. What happened?"

Meng Donghua sighed before recounting the story.

Shen Ling’an led his team to the location of the Mutants. Over a dozen of them had already laid waste to the surrounding buildings.

The giant, three-story-tall rats were still ramming into the buildings that remained standing.

Upon seeing the Mutants, Shen Ling’an immediately threw out his weapons, which resembled a pair of Emei daggers.

"Everyone, form groups of five and take on one Mutant each. If you can’t handle it, just try to buy time. I’ll deal with them."

With that, Shen Ling’an flung his weapons and charged toward a Mutant.

His weapons seemed to be the perfect counter to the Mutants. Whenever he got an opening, they would effortlessly pierce the Mutants’ skin, killing them.

His movements were swift and decisive, and he quickly dispatched several Mutants on his own.

As for the other team members, they did just as he had said: they merely tied up the Mutants, creating opportunities for him.

After dealing with the scattered Mutants, he would then engage the others directly, killing them with ease.

In less than an hour, he had easily taken care of all the rampaging Mutants.

Hearing this, Lu Jingyu raised an eyebrow, and Xu Qingsui was also flabbergasted. ’When did Shen Ling’an get so strong?’

’Could it be that my kick that day unlocked his potential?’

After that day, however, she hadn’t seen Xu Ruming in a long time.

’I wonder if my kick led to some unpleasant consequences for her.’

"It was over in less than an hour, so why are you only getting back now?"

"And if it’s all resolved, why do you look like that?"

In response to Lu Jingyu’s questions, Meng Donghua heaved a long sigh.

"Because this was Shen Ling’an’s first time leading a team, a lot of people besides me were watching from the sidelines."

"At the time, after he dealt with those dozen or so Mutants, everyone was shocked. No one expected him to be so clean and efficient."

"But just as everyone was discussing it, a few more Mutants suddenly appeared..."

Gazing at the fruits of his victory, Shen Ling’an looked smug.

He addressed the members watching from a distance, "I know many of you have your opinions of me, but as members of the Heiyu Alliance, we are all family. Today, I led the team to clear out the Mutants to lighten Captain Lu’s burden, and also to change your perception of me. I hope we can all get along in the future."

"I will continue to lead the team, share Captain Lu’s burden, and protect Zone 9."

Shen Ling’an was grandstanding, as if giving a speech.

Meng Donghua felt annoyed just watching him.

But he had just killed so many Mutants, and the thrilling scene had won some people over.

Many members started cheering in agreement.

But just as Shen Ling’an and the members were cheering loudly, a massive figure shot out from behind him.

Feeling an oppressive force coming from behind, Shen Ling’an’s expression changed instantly. As he spun around, he brought his weapons to his chest, ready to attack at any moment.

But before he could get a clear look at what was in front of him, a dark shadow swept toward him. Shen Ling’an felt as if he’d been hit by a heavy mech and was sent flying.

He tumbled several times after landing before managing to steady himself.

He hastily wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and looked back in the direction he’d been thrown from, his eyes widening in shock.
