Chapter 634: 342 You can’t go! _2

Zhao Qiankun felt a bitter taste in his heart, and he almost wished he could pull Fang Yuxin beside him and not let her go anywhere. Once the car stopped, he hurriedly got out and was about to head towards Fang Yuxin when his assistant reminded him, "Squad leader, it’s time for your speech."

Zhao Qiankun immediately halted, hesitated for a moment, then walked toward the other platform. He stood beside Bai Zhengyi and began using the megaphone to deliver some morale-boosting words.

During the speech, his gaze swept across everyone’s faces, giving the impression that he was looking directly at them, except for a few who knew the inside story. The other Corpse Hunters were affected by his gaze and became very excited.

However, as soon as he finished speaking, his gaze fixed intensely on Fang Yuxin in the crowd. When Bai Zhengyi had finished speaking, he again took the opportunity to say, "This mission is very important for every survivor at Beishi Base, but it is also highly dangerous. Therefore, I must remind you all to take care of yourselves! Your safety is the utmost importance! Furthermore, those who haven’t received the mission should not participate because this mission is no child’s play! You are responsible not only for yourselves but for others involved in the mission as well!"

Bai Zhengyi stood beside him, looking at Zhao Qiankun with surprise, somewhat puzzled as to why he would say such a thing. Encouragements were fine, but why specifically mention that those who hadn’t received the mission couldn’t participate? Generally speaking, such a situation was unlikely, and even if it did occur, if someone voluntarily wanted to go, why would they need to interfere?

However, when he followed Zhao Qiankun’s gaze to Fang Yuxin standing in the crowd, he understood Zhao Qiankun’s intentions. Bai Zhengyi couldn’t help but sneer inwardly—he was right; Zhao Qiankun was indeed a fool for love! Unlikely to achieve great things!

The other Corpse Hunters were also curious, not understanding why Zhao Qiankun would specifically mention this. However, they had to admit that what he said made sense.

Some clever ones, following Zhao Qiankun’s gaze, also saw Fang Yuxin and began to speculate. Initially thinking Fang Yuxin was incompetent, they assumed Zhao Qiankun’s specific mention was to prevent her from being a burden. However, when they sensed the energy fluctuations from her, they discovered she was actually a Second-level Superpower User! With such abilities, how could she be a burden? Even if she hadn’t received the mission, what harm would there be in her wanting to go?

Some began to doubt, feeling that something was off about Zhao Qiankun.

At this moment, Zhao Qiankun was watching Fang Yuxin, waiting for her to voluntarily drop out. However, to his anger, Fang Yuxin showed no reaction, as if unaware he was referring to her. His face darkened, and he directly addressed Fang Yuxin, "Miss Fang, as far as I know, you didn’t receive the mission. It’s probably not appropriate for you to stay here, is it?"

As soon as he spoke, Bai Zhengyi frowned, feeling the situation was spiraling out of control! However, before he could speak, Fang Yuxin loudly said, "I thought esteemed leaders like Mr. Zhao were overwhelmed with countless duties. Yet, I’m surprised Mr. Zhao even notices that I didn’t get the mission. However, it’s not my fault; I replied several times to the code in the text message, but all attempts to receive the mission failed. I wonder if Mr. Zhao knows the reason?"

Hearing her response, Zhao Qiankun also realized he had made a tactical error. He hadn’t forgotten that Fang Yuxin was sharp-tongued! He wasn’t foolish enough to admit he had sabotaged the mission allocation but instead spoke solemnly, "If that’s truly the case, it must be an issue with the mission center. Nevertheless, whether you attempted to receive the mission or not, since you didn’t successfully obtain it, you cannot partake in this mission! Miss Fang, please return!"

Bai Zhengyi, frowning deeply, was tempted to persuade Zhao Qiankun to stop, yet feared provoking him further. Zhao Qiankun was someone who could act recklessly when dealing with issues involving women, and heaven knows what irrational actions he might take if angered! But Bai Zhengyi was also worried that if he did nothing, the situation would only worsen!

As he hesitated, Fang Yuxin spoke again, "Mr. Zhao must have forgotten, right? I am a Second-level Wood Element Superpower User. You just mentioned that this mission is very important for the entire Beishi Base and as a member, I want to participate and contribute my strength. I see nothing wrong in this. Precisely because the mission is so dangerous and might result in numerous casualties, my participation is all the more crucial! Even if I end up not receiving any compensation for the mission, I don’t mind!"

Earlier, when others discovered she was a Second-level Superpower User, they felt that she shouldn’t be a burden, and found Zhao Qiankun’s refusal for her participation quite suspicious. Now, hearing that she was a Second-level Wood Element Superpower User raised even more doubts!

Indeed, they were such a small group, and Luyun County was teeming with zombies. Going there was tantamount to a suicide mission—forget about conquering Luyun County, surviving and returning was uncertain! If they had a Second-level Wood Element Superpower User to assist, even if they couldn’t turn the tide, it would reduce casualties! If Zhao Qiankun knew she had such capabilities, why wouldn’t he let her participate? Could it be that he too thought the mission was too perilous and didn’t want to lose a valuable Second-level Wood Element Superpower User?

If so, what did that make them?

Everyone started to harbor doubts.
