Chapter 304: Chapter 297: Kill Him Before He Commits Suicide

"Despicable outsider!"

The two Gunpowder Workshop Hunters roared in unison.

"That’s right, what about it!"

Liu Zheng roared back with an even louder voice.

With his inhuman lung capacity, not to mention these two fellows, even if all the hunters from the Gunpowder Workshop came at him, he could suppress them all with his resonant baritone so that they wouldn’t dare make a sound.

"Uh."

Indeed, intimidated by Liu Zheng’s aura, both hunters fell silent.

"Get it straight, it’s you who are asking me, not the other way around. Being kind is fine, but if your kindness makes you lose your mind, then that’s your fault."

"Or do you think I’m that fool?"

He said unsympathetically.

"We just don’t dare to entrust our comrades’ lives to a stranger, and it’s hard to believe that a person with Beastification can still be saved."

The trumpet gun hunter retorted.

"There, you see, since people with Beastification couldn’t be saved before, it’s as if your comrades are already dead. Talking about entrusting their lives to me doesn’t make any sense."

Liu Zheng seized the loophole in his words.

"But, I mean, you’re right."

The trumpet gun hunter said dejectedly.

"One word, deal or no deal. If no deal, we start cutting now, or we can duel three rounds, two out of three, with no regard for life or death."

Liu Zheng was getting impatient.

Seeing that these people were not too bad, he offered them an alternative that involved slightly fewer deaths.

"Deal."

The Machine Gun Hunter, who had been silent all along, suddenly spoke up.

"Yula, you?"

The trumpet gun hunter looked at him in surprise.

"I don’t trust him, but he made a good point. Francis and the others are already dead, might as well let him try. If he cures them, it’s like they’re brought back from the dead. If not, then we’ll consider it their burial."

Yula said with a cold face.

"Alright."

The trumpet gun hunter nodded emphatically.

"Then let’s go."

Liu Zheng said.

"No need, you wait here, we’ll bring them over."

The trumpet gun hunter shook his head.

They couldn’t let an outsider know about the location of the Gunpowder Workshop’s secret base where they kept their comrades with Beastification.

"Suit yourself, just make it quick, my time is precious."

"And get someone to bring me some tables and chairs, along with a pot of tea and some snacks, sitting around doing nothing is too boring."

Liu Zheng said, shaking his head.

"Got it."

The trumpet gun hunter said speechlessly.

The two turned and left, and after a while, several other hunters in charred outfits came over, carrying various kinds of furniture.

From their expressions, it was clear they were just as speechless.

"How come there’s tea but no snacks?"

Liu Zheng said after they had put everything down.

"Because all the snacks were burned up by your Church."

A Gunpowder Workshop Hunter couldn’t help but say.

"Burning even snacks, your Church really is terribly evil."

He nodded in agreement, then turned to Andrina and the Church Hunters and said.

"..."

Everyone wore expressions that were difficult to put into words.

The local customs in Old Atlis were generally repressive and strict; even acts of madness only happened when people were pushed to their limits.

They had never seen someone with Liu Zheng’s flippant style of speaking and acting before.

Even Xia Kai could only turn his face away and pretend not to see.

Their boss was good in other areas, but he just had too much warped humor and nonsensical talk.

"Marshall, you stay."

The lead Gunpowder Workshop Hunter called out a comrade.

"Tell him if you have any requests."

The Hunter finished speaking and, without any hesitation, took his companions and left, leaving only the young man named behind to stand helplessly in place.

"Don’t be nervous, are we not all bad people?"

Liu Zheng said in comfort.

"What?!"

The young man looked up in alarm.

"Ah, my mistake, I meant to say we are all good people who won’t do anything to you."

He said with a smile, resembling a deity of the Evil God trying to tempt a sacrifice.

"But Uncle Kurt said the people from the Church are bad, they burned down Old Yate and killed countless innocent residents."

The young man argued back.

"Perhaps. But what do the Church’s misdeeds have to do with us?"

Liu Zheng had no intention of speaking up for the Blood Healing Church.

"Ah, aren’t you all together?"

The young man asked, confused.

"No no no, we just have a partnership."

He clarified, dissociating the relationship.

The Church Hunters’ expressions did not change, while Andrina seemed like she wanted to say something but stopped.

"Really?"

The young man asked innocently.

"Of course, it’s true. Look, I even agreed to help treat your companions for Beastification Disease. How could someone who helps treat your disease be a bad person?"

Liu Zheng said earnestly.

"You do have a point."

The young man pondered thoughtfully.

"That’s right. Now that we are all good people, can you tell me how many powerful Beasts like the charred orcs there are left in Old Yate?"

He coaxed skillfully.

"There are still..."

The young man lowered his head, as if recalling.

"How many are none of your damn business!"

Just as Liu Zheng was waiting patiently, the young man suddenly looked up and said viciously.

"Hey, you’re not dumb, kid."

Liu Zheng exclaimed in surprise.

"Of course, do you really think Uncle Kurt left me behind because I’m the youngest? It’s because I’m the cleverest,"

The young man said proudly.

"Not bad at all. In that case, during the life-and-death battle, I’ll request that you go first."

He prodded temptingly.

"What?"

This time, it was the young man’s turn to be stunned.

The Gunpowder Workshop was quite efficient, and by the time Liu Zheng had teased the young man to the brink of a fight, the Rifle Hunter and Machine Gun Hunter returned with their men.

A total of six men, two pushing a prison cart each.

Inside the arm-thick steel cages, there were hunters in charred hunting suits locked up.

Their degrees of Beastification varied, the most severe’s face and hands were deformed, and the lightest had only a face covered in black hair.

"These are our companions who need treatment, are you confident?"

The Rifle Hunter asked.

"Confident, there is none, no doctor will tell you the truth, unless he’s sick of too few complaints. However, these two should be treatable,"

Liu Zheng pointed to the two hunters with less severe Beastification.

"As for this one, there’s a chance he could explode along with the charred orc."

He then pointed to the hunter whose face and hands had deformed.

"His name is Liszt, he was the previous Chief Hunter of the Gunpowder Workshop, and also my mentor,"

The Rifle Hunter said with a sigh.

"He led the Gunpowder Workshop Hunters to save many un-Beastified residents in that great fire and also led us to survive in the ruins of Old Yate."

"Admirable. I will take him down before he blows himself up,"

Liu Zheng said sincerely.

"...That’s not what I meant. Forget it, let’s start with the one with the least severe condition."

The Rifle Hunter gave a signal, and the hunters responsible for guarding the cages opened the chains.

The Beastification Hunter, who had been closing his eyes, suddenly opened them, his yellow murky pupils scanning everyone present, then he leaped out of the cage and, without looking back, charged toward Xia Kai, who was watching from the sidelines.
