Chapter 585: Ready to Fight

The people below panicked. Okay, fifty thousand is fifty thousand, everything is at your disposal.

Xu Cheng snorted as he thought.

Play the bargaining trick with me when you might lose your life? Thats too young and nave.

Xu Cheng then added on. I have one more request.

The people below couldnt take it anymore. Are you f*cking finished?

Xu Cheng said, If I succeed in protecting you all, then you will each have to pay us an additional 50,000 dollars.

What? Those people were shocked as they thought it was a f*cking money grab.

You guys know how powerful the M Nation is. Look at Black Cats and the others, a hundred of them, dead and wounded, and they couldnt even handle it. We will lose a lot of soldiers just to offer you shelter, so is it not okay to give 50,000 to the dead soldiers as a back pay? If you guys have a problem, then dont come up here, Xu Cheng said.

The people below argued, I dont f*cking believe that you guys can stop the M Nation troops when they come.

A few people looked at each other and someone shouted, Fine, but if the M Nation doesnt come here and were safe, then we wont give the $50K. However, if they do and you guys can fight them off, then we will give you the other $50K!

Deal. Xu Cheng said cheerfully, Get in line and come up one by one. Register your belongings here and you can come back to collect them afterwards. But let me make it clear first, we dont have any extra rooms here, so whether its rainy or windy at night, you guys will have to solve the accommodation problems yourselves.

Damn!

They felt as if they were tricked.

A total of about two-hundred people chose to take refuge.

They were allowed inside after they submitted their firearms and other dangerous items, and the $50K.

Xu Cheng squatted in the doorway smoking a cigarette and Lin Dong was there counting the money as he laughed out loud. Master, that was a quick and easy 10 million in cash we got.

Diesel stood beside Xu Cheng and said in a low voice, Boss, thank you.

Everyone else called Xu Cheng Big Brother Cheng, and he was the only one who called Xu Cheng Boss. Technically, he was now truly a warrior of the Deviant Corp.

Dont thank me. Since you have joined Deviant, you will fight for the Deviant Corp with your life. You have changed fundamentally starting from your cells, can you feel it?

Diesel nodded and said, I feel it.

Xu Cheng said, Now technically speaking, the two of us are genetically different from the human genome. You must remember from now on, you cant go to hospitals for treatment because they will notice the difference, unless you want to be dissected for research and experimentation. I hope you wont regret or hate me for turning you into someone like me in the future.

I wont, Boss, Diesel said seriously.I know better than anyone how important it is for a person to be strong in this world; the weak are the prey of the strong. I have watched the people around me die one by one, and once feared that I wouldnt survive if I was not strong enough. But now, I have at least some confidence in my future, and its you that gave me that.

Xu Cheng sighed. Someone once told me that people like me will make enemies with the world. Do you know what that means?

Diesel nodded. Yes. It means that if we are exposed, we will be treated like aliens and wont fit into society.

Thats right. You have seen what has happened to your body, and to be exact, your abilities have exceeded normal human beings. I can tell you why I am here, because I think that if the day ever comes when there will be more people like the two of us, this can be your home and mine as well. So, from this day forward, you are fighting for your home, and my goal is to unify this place, Xu Cheng said in a straightforward manner.

Diesels pupils dilated.

Xu Cheng asked, Are you afraid?

Diesel answered, I am willing to follow you, Boss!

Youll have to follow me even if you dont want to because were the same kind of people now, thats why I said you cant hate me in the future. Maybe well be tired in the future, but lets hope that everything will be fine.

Xu Cheng thought of his wife Lin Chuxue, who was far away in the M Nation, and he sighed in his heart.

I hope that we will always have unwavering feelings for each other in our hearts.

Meanwhile, a hundred miles away, the group of M Nation Special Forces were enraged as they still hadnt found the hiding place of the Falcon Mercenaries.

Did the R Nation hide away the Falcon Mercenaries? Im pissed right now. We didnt wipe out the Black Cats, and now we cant even find our targets. So far, weve got f*cking ninety points, and Ive heard that the other countries are at over two hundred points.

They passed over the sand dunes in an armored vehicle, feeling annoyed.

The captain grabbed his headset and asked the headquarters, Have the drones detected anyone or not? Weve been patrolling all day and havent found a single bird hair.

Its headed for deeper exploration.

The commanders were also a bit anxious and asked the drone operators, Have you found the fleeing mercenaries yet?

Weve been tracking them since they dispersed and we found them all gathered in a mountainous area, the terrain is a bit high. Give me a moment, I need to fly a little higher.

The operator flew the drone towards this suspicious mountainous area and was ready to shift the camera to look around.

Pa! Just then, there was a sound as if the signal and video had suddenly cut out.

Oh no, weve got a drone down.

The commander rushed over. Whats the altitude of the flight, how could it have been shot down? Our drones arent fast, but theyre faster compared to other countries, and without intelligent homing missiles, it would be hard to spot at this altitude of nearly a thousand meters. Where did this area get such high tech equipment, are you sure it was shot down?

Let me go over there with another one thats nearby.

He then took control of another drone and flew over to the area where the incident had just occurred.

However, before it could even reach the top of the mountain, it clicked, cutting off the video feed again.

Its been shot down again!

Who the f*ck has such a good shot? The commander was puzzled. Its surprising that mercenaries in this district are so professional.

The operator questioned, Sir, isnt our countrys Blackwater Mercenaries the only professional ones? Most of them are veterans.

The commander was busy shouting to the troops on the other side. Theres a sighting! They should be in the mountainous areas about eighty kilometers southwest of you; our drones cant penetrate at all.

The troop got excited hearing that as they said, Roger! This one should be a big fish.

Meanwhile, at the entrance below the mountains. Xu Cheng put down his sniper rifle and exhaled a mouthful of smoke. Get ready to fight. The drones were shot down and they probably know.

He then handed the sniper rifle to Cheksov, who looked up at the sky, then looked down at the gun again as he gulped. I damn well shouldnt have claimed to be a great sniper in front of Big Brother Cheng in the first place; this fu*king difference between us is too big.
