Chapter 314 - 303: Master Niu’s Task

Chapter 314: Chapter 303: Master Niu’s Task

"Brother Meng, you have to believe me."

"It was that bitch just now who seduced me, the great master."

"Otherwise, I would never have fallen for it."

Seeing that the "master" was still grumbling, Mengde frowned and cut off his incessant rambling without a hint of politeness.

"That’s enough! Shut up!"

"Master Niu, I don’t have time to listen to your useless bullshit!"

That’s right.

The "master" currently kneeling and begging Mengde for mercy was none other than the long-unseen Niu Baoguo!

The same guy known for his "three absolutes"—tough, stubborn, and never admitting defeat!

Ever since Mengde brought him back from the west side of the city, he hadn’t paid him much mind.

Considering the guy’s character wasn’t terrible and he was getting on in years, Mengde just let him wander around the base.

He didn’t assign him any work like he did for Brother Jingfu and the others.

Besides, he knew the guy’s hobby: he liked to "exercise" with older widows.

As for younger girls, he treated them like trash.

He wouldn’t even give them a second glance!

There were quite a few such women in Yulong Base.

So, over the past few days, this guy had made his rounds with all of them.

Jiayi and the others had reported this to him long ago.

But he didn’t care.

They say a woman of thirty is like a wolf, a woman of forty is a tiger, and a woman of fifty can suck the dirt from the ground where she sits.

While there weren’t that many older women in the base, the younger men certainly wouldn’t be interested in them.

’Perfectly fine to leave them for this guy to "clean up"!’

Besides, the guy hadn’t caused any trouble lately.

He had also voluntarily gone out to fight zombies with Brother Jingfu’s group quite a few times before.

He had made a contribution to the base, in a way.

He remembered that during yesterday’s zombie attack, this guy had even led the charge to clear them out.

All in all, the guy had some value.

’At least he isn’t completely useless!’

It made the effort of rescuing him worthwhile.

The reason he was angry wasn’t that the guy was fooling around, but that he was messing around while everyone else in the base was busy.

And here he was, fooling around.

’Isn’t this just corrupting morale!’

Mengde decided he couldn’t stand for it!

That’s why he had interrupted the guy’s "spell-casting"!

Seeing that Mengde wasn’t truly angry,

Niu Baoguo breathed a sigh of relief.

He scrambled up from the ground, looking quite disheveled.

"Hehe, I knew Brother Meng wouldn’t be mad at me."

Mengde was getting impatient.

’It won’t do for this guy to keep fooling around like this.’

’It’s completely undermining the morale of the survivors in charge of rebuilding the base!’

He thought for a moment. As it happened, there was a task he could assign to Niu Baoguo.

"Oh, right. I have a job for you."

The guy was quick on the uptake. As soon as Mengde mentioned a job,

he immediately puffed out his chest and promised.

"Just say the word, Boss. I’ll definitely get it done!"

"Even if I have to go through fire and water, I won’t shrink from a thousand deaths!"

"I wouldn’t hesitate to climb a mountain of knives or plunge into a sea of fire!"

"I..."

This stream of assurances just made Mengde even more impatient.

"Stop!"

"It’s not that complicated!"

"And I don’t need you to die or anything."

Hearing that he wouldn’t have to die, Niu Baoguo breathed another sigh of relief.

After all, a mission that didn’t involve dying was definitely safer.

’Who the fuck wants to die if they can live!’

Mengde understood this guy’s personality well.

Though he was stubborn, tough, and never admitted defeat, he was still very much afraid of dying!

"The job is simple. I just need you to go back into the city and escort some people."

"Just make sure they get out of the city safely!"

The people Mengde was talking about were none other than...

His two brothers-in-law!

Originally, he had planned to bring them back with him yesterday.

But they had refused.

But when he returned to the base and saw it had been attacked by zombies from the Economic Development Zone, he realized a very serious problem.

’If things have gotten this bad here, isn’t the zombie threat in downtown East Sea City even more severe?’

’For Jiang Haibing and Gao Qiang, it’s undoubtedly a landmine buried right under their feet!’

His original plan was to first deal with the immediate trouble in the Economic Development Zone.

Then, he would figure out a way to handle that unknown scarlet monster in downtown East Sea City.

But after what happened yesterday, it was clearly too late for that!

But he couldn’t just abandon Gao Qiang and Jiang Haibing.

He didn’t have time to go there himself now.

So he could only send his subordinates.

Unfortunately, Lei Qiang and the others were all busy.

They already had their own assignments.

That only left this guy, Niu Baoguo.

Mengde hadn’t really paid much attention to him before.

But looking at him again now, he discovered the guy had already reached Tier Nine!

[Superpower User: Niu Baoguo]

[Awakened Superpower: Lightning Five-Thunder Whip (S-Class Thunder Superpower)]

[Superpower Level: Tier Nine Early Stage]

[Affinity: 100]

’Looks like this guy might fool around and cause trouble,’

’but he hasn’t slacked off on his Superpower Level at all.’

But that was perfect. He was just what was needed right now.

Of course, there was another important reason Mengde chose him.

The guy used to run a roadblock on the west side of the city.

He was more familiar with the area around the west city gate than anyone.

Since he couldn’t go to the city himself, he was very worried that if Jiang Haibing and the others faced a zombie outbreak or a rampage by the scarlet monster downtown,

even escaping might be a problem.

Even if they were lucky enough to escape, getting out of the city could be a fatal challenge.

That’s where this guy, Niu Baoguo, could be useful.

He was like a nail driven into the city center in advance—a potential lifesaver at the critical moment!

After hearing Mengde’s plan, Niu Baoguo didn’t hesitate.

"Don’t worry, Boss!"

"I’ll be sure to rescue them all in time."

"But I don’t know them, so..."

Mengde smiled faintly.

"You don’t have to worry about that."

"I’ll have a few people go with you to identify them."

When Mengde came back from East Sea City before, he brought several subordinates with him.

They all knew Jiang Haibing and Gao Qiang.

Having them lead the way would solve Niu Baoguo’s problem.

And Niu Baoguo’s strength could handle the security issues.

This way, the whole matter could be resolved.

"Then there’s no problem!"

"I’ll take some people and go right now!"

Niu Baoguo actually seemed quite excited.

Speaking of which, it had been a while since he had been in the city.

He was actually looking forward to it.

Mengde nodded and picked up his walkie-talkie.

A few moments later, two Tier Eight Superpower Users arrived.

These were brothers who had previously served under Brother Jingfu and Lei Qiang.

"Iron Palm, Furious Wind, you guys take him to find Leng Feng and the others."

"Have them withdraw from the city center as soon as possible!"

Iron Palm and Furious Wind nodded.

"Don’t worry, Boss!"

Mengde had already spoken to them about this.

So there was no need to say anything more.

Soon, under the leadership of Iron Palm and Furious Wind, the contingent of over two hundred Superpower Users set off with great momentum.

But as he watched their departing figures, a flicker of worry crossed Mengde’s eyes...
