333 Save Me! (1/2)

”Son! Son!” The black donkey seemed happy to see one of its kind for the very first time. As it dashed forward, Kong Dao's white donkey raised its head arrogantly and with a sudden burst of speed, sent its leg kicking.

It was so quick that the black donkey barely had time to react. The kick landed on its body. With a loud sound, it was flung back…

The black donkey fell to the ground with a loud thud. It wasn't injured. However, it looked dazed. It didn't expect the other creature to kick him.

”White Phoenix!” Kong Dao chastised his donkey. The white donkey instantly stopped in its steps. It gave the dazed black donkey a disdainful look and returned back to Kong Dao's side, nuzzling Kong Dao's leg obediently. Kong Dao cupped his fists and saluted Chen Feng. Then, with the arrogant white donkey and its raised head, he left.

Wang Baole was furious when he saw the scene. He stared at his donkey. It looked dazed and had that innocent look on its face. He couldn't say a single word. This was, after all, a military base. His own donkey had been the one that had charged at someone else, as if asking for a beating.

He pretended as if the entire incident didn't happen and continued talking to Chen Feng about the Baole Cannon. Before long, they reached the campsite where the assembly was to take place. He made his excuses and left for the washroom when they did, which was when he grabbed the donkey and headed inside…

As soon as they stepped inside, Wang Baole turned and leveled a furious glare at the donkey. Its ears were drooping. He was angry at how useless it was.

”Where are your amazing skills when you need them? Don't you find yourself an embarrassment? You were kicked aside by a female donkey! Look how awesome and invincible you usually are at home. You even dare to bite me! How about now? Where did all that go?”

The donkey seemed to understand Wang Baole's words. It shuddered, and its eyes grew red.

”I, Wang Baole, am charming and talented, ferocious and invincible, have no equal amongst my peers, have never been taken advantage of by others, and have always been the one to take advantage of others. But you stupid little donkey can't even handle a female donkey. You were even beaten up. Are you still part of the male species? You're a disgrace!”

Wang Baole lamented and sighed. He was alright with Kong Dao's donkey being powerful, but his own donkey had slid close and practically asked for a beating. If this hadn't been the military base, he would have struck back.

The donkey heard what Wang Baole said and saw the scornful look in Wang Baole's eyes. Its breathing grew uneven, and its eyes red. For the very first time in its life, the innocent look in its eyes transformed into fury. It turned its head abruptly. It was as if it could see through walls and could sense where the white donkey was. It glared in its direction for a very long time as it gnashed its teeth.

The grudge it was feeling had intensified and become an obsession.

”What's the point of swearing? When you become stronger in the future, you can go beat it up. Grab it and take it down. That's what you should do! Show it what you've got!” Wang Baole snorted. He was done with his reprimand. Before he stepped out, he couldn't help but sigh again.

”You're an embarrassment!”

Wang Baole didn't notice the donkey's burning red eyes as he stepped out from the washroom. It stared in the direction of where the white donkey was. The fury in its eyes was laced with violence, seeming to promise vengeance.

Wang Baole shoved down the unhappiness in his heart when he left the washroom and returned to the task of advising and supervising the assembly. A Baole Cannon was swiftly assembled with his instruction, and they tested the cannon and collected some data. General Chen was all praises and admiration. Wang Baole didn't hold himself back as he personally advised the consultants from the Martian military.

After busying with the assembly for more than half the day, Wang Baole finally shared with the consultants all that he knew about the assembly and the encrypted inscriptions. Both he and Chen Feng personally supervised the process. After making sure that there were no problems, Wang Baole prepared to take his leave.

”General Chen, if there is nothing else, I'll…” Wang Baole turned and spoke to Chen Feng. However, before he could finish his words, Chen Feng's voice transmission ring suddenly vibrated.

The expression on Chen Feng's face changed suddenly after he read the transmission.

”Baole, you can leave first. I still have some matters to attend to, so I won't be seeing you off.” Chen Feng turned and left after saying that. He had a solemn expression on his face. Wang Baole could sense that something serious must have happened. He had wanted to ask about Lin Tianhao, but it seemed like this wasn't an appropriate time for that. Just as he was about to leave, his voice transmission ring rang suddenly.

”Wang Baole, I've just received news. Something happened to Lin Tianhao's team. I'm not sure what exactly. I'll let you know when I have more details.” The sender was Li Wan'er.

Wang Baole froze when he heard Li Wan'er's transmission. The look on his face grew serious as he recalled the somber look on Chen Feng's face earlier. He suddenly lifted his head abruptly and stared at Chen Feng, who was hastily walking away. He decided to throw caution to the wind and shouted suddenly.

”General Chen, my vice dean, Lin Tianhao, took my place and joined one of the military teams on a mission. Do you have any news of him?”

Chen Feng, who had been hurrying off, froze when he heard what Wang Baole had said. He turned around and gave Wang Baole a deep, meaningful look. He was about to speak when Wang Baole hurried over and said hastily.
