Chapter 329: Farewell
Translator: _Min_Editor: Rundi
The night was bitter.
A daunting human shaped-armor walked along the empty street. The moonlight scattered onto the merciless steel as it shined on the white symbols, T-3.
His steps were slow as he scanned around. It was as if he was taking a stroll.
Broken houses.
The closer he approached the ”mansion” the more tragic the scene looked. From the bullet marks on the wall and its density, it seemed to be from the cover fire of the machine guns. From the signs of explosions amongst the street, It looked like it was from grenade launchers.
In the shambles, Jiang Chen saw a pair of eyes.
Like a startled animal, the eyes escaped him when he turned around slightly.
His throat moved before looking away.
”I can do the ”cleaning”. Ayesha’s voice came into his ears.
”No… I think I should go personally.”
Although he couldn’t see Ayesha’s face, Jiang Chen could still imagine her gentle gaze.
In the civilian building not far away, the bullets almost penetrated the entire wooden back wall. A hand appeared in front of him, shaking, before quietly shutting the wooden window.
Jiang Chen could feel that they feared him.
”Are you feeling okay?” Ayesha gently asked.
”Of course. I have seen plenty of things more horrifying than bodies,” Jiang Chen looked away from the civilian buildings in ruins as he said casually.
Ayesha knew he was talking about the other world.
”But I feel you are not really okay.”
”Why do you say that?” Jiang Chen sighed.
He was getting closer and closer to Johnny’s mansion. He pulled out the tactical rifle from his waist.
Although it certainly felt like killing a chicken with a machete, he still wanted to personally say goodbye to Johnny. As to the reason… he couldn’t explain.
”Instincts.” The cold voice carried a trace of tenderness.
Instincts?
Jiang Chen smiled, he didn’t comment on Ayesha’s explanation.
Ka-
The crisp sound of the magazine being clipped on.
”Ayesha.”
”Mhmm.”
”Do you think… I am in the wrong here?”
It was supposed to be quiet here, everything started because of him. If it was not for his out-of-the-blue idea of asking Robert to send Johnny here, and then supporting an opposition to start a civil war, the people living here may never have had to experience war in their lifetime.
It was a question he recently started to realize. The change in dimension may only take half a second, but the change in one's thinking process would take a long time. Sometimes he questioned himself if he had used the logic of the apocalypse in the modern world.
This way indeed matched his interest, but was it correct?
”In my heart, you are always correct.”
Jiang Chen paused.
A moment later, an open-minded laugh echoed inside the steel armor.
”Thank you.”
After he hung up the communication channel, fury instantly activated as a series of dense red dots appeared in his field of vision.
All the trouble and hindrance of human nature were thrown into the back of his head, Jiang Chen felt his head was never so clear.
The clarity was known as slaughter.
Ding-!
The armor vibrated faintly as a bullet hit the plastic steel, it didn’t leave a single trace. Jiang Chen looked forward with a grim smile, it was a black man aiming with his automatic rifle in hand. It should be the mercenaries that Johnny hired.
The black guy saw his shot was ineffective. While he was shocked, his actions didn't stop as he launched a grenade.
With the cool steel in front of him, he instinctively felt fear.
