Lord of End of World Chapter 129

As a man from ancient times, Young Master Gong didn't understand Jin Shangyu's reference. He just stopped Jin Shanghui from trying to send a crystal nucleus into his mouth and turned his face to Jin Shangyu. "Come here and see if there's any psychic system crystal nucleus." Then he pinched Jin Shanghui's lips and appeased him, "Oh, wait for you sister to finish picked. Honestly, how much do you like to eat these nuclei."

Jin Shanghui couldn't understand his words, but he could understand the teenager's gesture. Pinching his mouth meant that he couldn't eat them. He had long remembered this, so he quickly dropped the nucleus in his hand, scratched the teenager's clothes with his fangs before he laid down on the pile and rolled around with a cheerful expression.

Seeing his appearance, Li Dongsheng opened his eyes once again. This zombie was really not like the regular zombie. It was very cute. Of course, under the condition of being under Young Master Gong's supervision.

Jin Shangyu smiled and looked at her brother having fun. A brother like a child. A tear formed in the corner of her eye but quickly disappeared.

"I'm grateful for this. Thank you." Her att.i.tude seemed free and easy, but the slightly hoa.r.s.e voice leaked her deep grat.i.tude.

"No need to be polite. Can you tell the apart psychic system nuclei though?" Gong Lixin waved away her worry even as he asked uncertainly.

"Of course. Push out a little of my ability and they will resonate with it." Jin Shangyu nodded with a smile.

"Use these two boxes." Glancing at the tears in the corner of Jin Shangyu's eyes, Li Dongsheng's att.i.tude became much milder and he found two empty boxes in his s.p.a.ce.

"Thank you." Jin Shangyu took them, sat down on the ground and started to check the crystal nuclei one by one. Li Dongsheng squatted beside her and curiously watched her. Gong Lixin and Jin Shanghui were lying down on the pile of crystal nuclei, holding them in their hands and bringing them under the light of the sun. The light pa.s.sed through them and casted shadows on the wall and they both watched with fascination, like two boys with similar interests. From time to time, Jin Shangyu would raise her eyesight to watch them and smiled.

It took a long time to check one hundred thousand crystal nuclei one by one, but Jin Shangyu didn't feel bored or impatient, because she had already found seven crystal nuclei of her system in just half an hour and the grades were all above second-level low-grade. According to this ratio, there should be a lot of hidden nuclei in this pile. Thinking the st.u.r.dy mental strength of the youth that couldn't be fooled, Jin Shangyu mourned these zombies. It's safe to a.s.sume that they had definitely tried to sneak attack or attack with their mind, but the careless youth didn't sense any of it and easily regarded them as first-level zombies. It was a shame to kill them!

While thinking random thoughts, Jin Shangyu also detected a third-level low-grade psychic system crystal nucleus and plunged into the box beside her. When Li Dongsheng saw that another box was already full of crystal nuclei that she couldn't use, he lifted his hand and emptied the box so that she had enough s.p.a.ce to place more into them. The two cooperated tacitly and sorted through nearly half of the crystal nuclei within three hours. Because of Gong Lixin's suppression, Jin Shanghui had been obediently squatting in the room, sometimes being noisy and occasionally grabbing a handful of first-level crystal nuclei that Jin Shangyu didn't want and eating them. He would also use his claws to scatter the nuclei around, move them over and pile them up next to Jin Shangyu, making it easier for her to pick them up, which greatly moved Jin Shangyu for a while.

"Okay, that's enough for today. Let the rest be. Li Dongsheng, take them back into your s.p.a.ce and Jin Shangyu, you can come and check again tomorrow." Gong Lixin kindly suggested after seeing Jin Shangyu's tired face.

"Um." Jin Shangyu nodded, stretched her legs that had become stiff from sitting too long. Every time she checked a crystal nucleus, she had to push in a trace of her power into it, so her energy was used up by now. After the soreness in her legs to ease, she immediately took hold of the box that held her nuclei and carried the weight of the box with both hands. The exhaustion in her body disappeared instantly and the joy, enough to reach the heavens, wound around her and poured into her heart. With these nuclei, she could be promoted to third-level high-grade tonight. If all the remaining nuclei were picked out and absorbed, she would definitely reach the peak of third-level high-grade and be among the top masters of the world! Happiness came too fast and too strong and she suddenly felt dizzy with it.

"Are you okay?" Li Dongsheng saw her shaking and immediately stepped forward to help.

"I'm okay. I think I'm too happy. The happiness was too sudden and I was about to pa.s.s out from it." Jin Shangyu waved her hands. Her eyes were watery and she had a very sincere condition about touching.

Li Dongsheng's cheeks were reddish and he immediately let of the arm he was holding, feeling a little uncomfortable. Just then, a door appeared on the door and Gong Xiangyi's voice came through it, "Lixin, are you here? Dad's awake and wants to see you."

"Coming." Gong Lixin immediately opened the door and followed Gong Xiangyi to the infirmary. Jin Shangyi took the box in one hand as she and Jin Shanghui hurried to keep up. The young man's kindness was too great, so if she didn't care for Father Gong, she would feel really bad.

Gong Lixin opened the door to the infirmary. Grandfather Lin, Lin Wenbo and Song Haoran had all arrived and were sitting around Father Gong's sick bed, chatting in a low voice. When he saw his son come in, Father Gong's brows stretched out and he laughed easily. "Son, come and sit." He patted the edge of the bed beside him.

Gong Lixin sat beside him and asked, while holding his hand, "Dad, are you feeling better?"

"I feel better. My stomach doesn't hurt at all!" Father Gong laughed, stroking his stomach.

"Uncle Gong, it's good to meet you." Jin Shangyu gave his brother a large bag of first-grade crystal nuclei to chew on as the other started to roar again. Seeing that he was being obedient and was under Li Dongsheng's care, she entered through the door to pay respect to Gong Yuanhang.

"Oh, are you Little Demon?" Father Gong looked at Jin Shangyu with a smile. He didn't expect that there really was such a person in this world with such an amazing ability.

"Yes," Jin Shangyu nodded, cheekily adding, "Uncle Gong, I will treat you for the next half month. You can rest a.s.sured that you will be at the top of your health after half a month."

"Then sorry to bother you little girl. I don't know how to thank you." Gong Yuanhang sighed.

"Don't thank me. Gong Lixin has already given me a lot of benefits." Jin Shangyu said so straightforwardly and patted the box in her hand cheerfully.

When everyone heard this, they all laughed, but Gong Xiangyi looked at the young man with a complex look in her eyes and, once gain, felt remorse in her heart. If the teenager had died when she had abandoned him, her father would have already been…she clenched her hands into fists and didn't dare think about it anymore.

Gong Lixin was not affected by the joyful atmosphere in the ward. He turned to look at Father Gong and, with his voice lowered and sounding angry, he said, "Dad, you know that Bao Long misbehaved and lured you out. Why did you still go?"

Father Gong sighed, touched the head of his angry son and explained, "If I don't go, would I just sit back as he kills them all? That's more than 2000 human lives, not pigs and dogs. Dad's fate was to die soon and I'm not afraid of Bao Long's calculation. Trading so many people for only my life was worth it."

In the end, Father Gong was an old-school soldier, being loyal to his country and protecting its people was carved into his bones. He didn't notice the abnormality in the base at that time nor Zhao Ying's guilty expression, but he knew that if he didn't go, Bao Long would run to the Eastern District and kill all the civilians after killing the slaves. The situation was precarious and he couldn't hesitate a single minute. He knew that even if he was held hostage, with the ability of his son and his subordinates, Bao Long couldn't take advantage of him at all, but when he heard that Bao Long humiliate his son with his extremely vicious words, he suddenly couldn't breathe and laid down.

Gong Lixin was even more unhappy after hearing what he said and coldly said, "If you had an accident, I would kill all the people you saved. If you are gone, them, this base, what's the use of them?"

Father Gong's face sank when he heard his words. He raised his hand and struck his son's forehead and sharply reprimanded him, "What kind of brat are you talking about? The son of Gong Yuanhang will be a hero in the forefront of a new future, but not hooligans like Bao Long and Kang Zhengyuan. That kind of tyrannical nature, even pigs and dogs won't tolerate it! Right now, in these apocalyptic days, zombies eat people and human beings can also eat human beings. If all ability users are like them, how can we ordinary people live? Just rely on ourselves!?"

When his father really got heated up, Gong Lixin immediately grabbed his sleeve and confessed his mistake. "I was wrong father. I won't say it ever again. I must protect you and everyone in the base. So don't be angry, don't leave me."

"This child, it's…Dad isn't angry and Dad won't leave you either, so be at ease." Father Gong heart's softened and he sighed as he was greeted by his son's aggrieved, watery eyes.

He had seen it long time ago. Although his son was clever and innocent, a cruel and cold-blooded persona lay hidden in his bones. If he didn't teach him well, he could easily go astray. The strength of his son was so powerful, if he really went astray, the destruction resulting from it would be extraordinary. A hundred thousand Bao Long and Kang Zhengyuan cannot add up to what could happen. No, he could only try his best to teach his son by example, hoping to implant the idea of good in his son's mind.

Jin Shangyu watched the interaction between the father and son enviously while hiding behind Song Haoran who was laughing, she whispered to herself: No wonder the little devil's personality is so contradictory: sometimes violent, sometimes kind; sometimes cruel, sometimes innocent. His teaching was good. Without Chief Gong's intervention, this little devil would definitely end up completely crooked, because his evil nature is engraved into his blood and bone and cannot be changed nor be eliminated.

Lin Wenbo and Song Haoran didn't think as much as Father Gong and Jin Shangyu thought. When they saw the uneasy look in the teenager's eyes, they looked at each other and quickly s.h.i.+fted the subject.

"Lixin, I have one thing I wanted to ask your opinion on." Song Haoran patted the youth's shoulder.

"What's the matter?" Gong Lixin's anxiety subsided and he tilted his head and asked.

"I hope you will dissolve your team and send them to the Self-Defense Forces to train. It's best for each person part of the Self-Defense Force take up defensive work around Long Snake Island. The safety of the team will also be up to your team members."

After returning to the island, he had been thinking about this issue. To be honest, this time around, he was very disappointed with the performance of the members of different groups. It was a simple and clear operation that couldn't be any simpler, but instead of seizing the opportunity to kill in one blow, they were easily deceived by the news of a false grain depot and almost caused the base to fall apart. In the final a.n.a.lysis of the situation, it was not their lack of strength, but because they had been hanging with Lixin for too long and their life had been so smooth that they've lost their vigilance.

Because they followed Lixin, they just needed to go forward and become stronger. In this way, they were more or less affected by Lixin and became down-to-earth cultivation maniacs. Thus they enthusiastically killed zombies without paying any attention to base affairs.

Song Haoran had long noticed that their state of thinking was inappropriate and this time, he decided to take advantage of this situation to train them. The members of Self-Defense Force were ordinary people without abilities. They thus had the responsibility to ensure their safety and do a good job in maintaining their defense, which was not a small job. He hoped that they could realize their deficiencies and open their eyes through this training exercise. It's only if the people on the base can stand together that the base can truly be solid.

As it is now, without Uncle Gong and Lixin, it's impossible to run the base with only Song Haoran and Lin Wenbo and this rectification needed to be dealt with.

Gong Lixin frowned and asked, "Then what should I do if I have to go on a mission?"

"Don't be in a hurry. Wait until they are able to take on big task and then, they can return to taking missions with you. They don't have any brains now and can affect other team members." Song Haoran said with a wave of his hand. He found that there was still a trend of blind wors.h.i.+p in this base. They were probably too confident in Lixin and was thus also very obedient to his team members. Because of that when that group of members received false news and went out of the base, the others followed. This made him very angry.

"Yes, not only do they need training, you also have to learn base management, Lixin. Uncle Gong is sick, so you have to take over his burden. You can rest a.s.sured that Haoran and I will help you." Lin Wenbo echoed. As everyone's spiritual leader, Lixin must mature as soon as possible.

"Okay, I'll learn it seriously, dad. You just to rest." Thinking of his father's health, Gong Lixin's agreed without a word of protest. Of course, with Brother Lin and Brother Song, he felt very at ease.

"Good, good boy." Father Gong's eyes narrowed with a smile and immediately a.s.signed the task to them. "Then you will go to talk with Dou Heng tomorrow to see what his stance is. Dou Heng is no better than Bao Long and Kang Zhengyuan. His strength is extraordinary and unfathomable, so be careful."

Gong Lixin nodded, seeming to think of something before he waved his hand again, "Don't dissolve my group yet. Let them rush to Fenghuang to bring back the food to make up for it."

"They have already prepared to go." Lin Wenbo and Song Haoran chuckled as they said at the same time.

Seeing the three children's tacit understanding, Father Gong and Grandfather Lin looked at each other and they both felt rea.s.sured. Jin Shangyu left the infirmary long ago to check on Jin Shanghui's condition, leaving Gong Xiangyi alone with the few people in the room that looked at each other harmoniously. Her heart felt complicated. She also wanted to join in, to share sorrow and joy. But she also knew that the moment she gave up on Gong Lixin in the past, she lost that qualification.
