Chapter 222 - The World Under the Island (2/2)
Right now, Han Jian’s opinion toward Qin Feng had drastically changed. He initially thought that Qin Feng was just another brilliant, inexperienced youngster, but now he was wholeheartedly convinced. Other than admiration, he also held great grat.i.tude toward the young man.
The atmosphere surrounding the campsite was icy cold.
“Do any of you know the owner of the spatial waymark?”
“It was basically a trap!”
“We have been misled into the nest of Drakocrocs. It’s a miracle that we are even alive now.”
“I don’t recognize the owner of the spatial waymark, but I do remember the gunner from before. He is under Leitang.”
The crowd went silent.
Leitang Organization.
“What are they plotting?”
“From what I heard, Leitang Organization is currently in conflict with the top leaders of Sea City.”
“d.a.m.n! Why are we the ones suffering when they are the ones b.u.t.ting heads?”
“Hoho. I see a lot of people from Sea City here. Guess you guys didn’t see this coming, did you?”
Suddenly, everyone was debating loudly. At the same time, many had their gazes fixed on one man—Tyrant!
Those from the inner circle were usually the ones with the most information.
Though others here were also considered high ranking officers in their respective colonies, a matter of such degree was beyond their grasp. Tyrant was the only one around here that might know the details.
He was among those who tried to intercept men from the Dark Coalition before. However, feeling obligated to those that had bid for the ten tickets, he followed the group into this island after his employer had left.
To be honest, this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
Even picking up the leftovers behind the main group would make this trip worthwhile.
That was the real reason Tyrant followed them through the rift.
“I am not sure. We, Wanzhong, have nothing to do with Leitang.”
Leitang was initially a part of the Dark Coalition when it first emerged.
They ran entertainment businesses on the surface but secretly supplied drugs under the table. Leitang was once a pest being hated by many colonies.
Regardless, they managed to establish a organization in the end. Naturally, this was thanks to their formidable founder.
In a doomed world like this, anyone could build a kingdom through sheer power. However, as soon as the founder fell out of favor, his or her kingdom would immediately crumble too.
Though the public debate had stopped, people were still conversing secretly.
“This smells exactly like a conspiracy. The only thing is, who is the intended target? What purpose do they have?” Han Jian pointed out.
“We all are. Didn’t we jump into this trap voluntarily?” Chi Long replied ironically. Many had paid for it with their lives hopping onto this one-way convoy to h.e.l.l.
“Stop overthinking it. The most important thing now is to stay alive. Train while you can and sleep earlier tonight. We still have ample battles to do tomorrow.” Qin Feng chipped in and stopped their fruitless quarrel.
Actually, Qin Feng was the only one among them that knew the entire story.
This spatial waymark had led them into a resourceful place. That part was unexpected.
Equally unthinkable was that this place was also a nest that housed numerous Drakocrocs. Not only that but there is also a Drakocroc beast king residing in one of the underground caverns.
Since Leitang was too busy to clear out the island at the moment, the spatial waymark was neglected. In the end, a D-tier apt.i.tude user from Leitang discovered the waymark and decided to put it into good use. His name was Lei Chen.
He was not aiming to set up any particular individual but to lure away most of the E-tier apt.i.tude users out of Sea City. Right now, Sea City was greatly deprived of combatants thanks to him.
Things went smoothly according to his plan, and the rest was history. In Qin Feng’s past memory, Lei Chen would officially become the mayor of Sea City half a month later.
As for the mayor before him, Qin Feng had no memory of that person at all. n.o.body cared about the loser in this d.a.m.ning world!
