CHAPTER 1635: CHAPTER 1629: YONG’S SPEAR TECHNIQUE IS THE BEST IN THE WORLD 3

Everyone stayed there, a field of white light before their eyes, utterly disoriented.

A blue-white beam, like a long dragon, swept up a great amount of dust as it rushed forward, leaving a scorched ravine on the ground wherever it passed!

On the other side, Yan Jiang was momentarily stunned, and before his eyes could even follow the beam’s speed, the entire "Su Xiujun" was engulfed by the light!

In an instant, its body turned gray-white, then slowly thinned out, disappearing bit by bit in the light until it vanished completely!

"This..."

He felt the tentacle wrapped around his neck loosen, and without Su Xiujun’s support, Yan Jiang quickly fell to the ground.

"Cough, cough..."

He coughed twice; during the previous battle, the adrenaline had dulled his sense of pain considerably. But now, realizing that Su Xiujun was utterly annihilated without a trace under the cannon blast, the relaxation doubled the pain from his injuries, causing him to involuntarily gasp for breath.

Looking down at the tentacle still lodged in his abdomen, it was the only thing "Su Xiujun" left behind. Gritting his teeth, he pulled it out, causing his face to twitch uncontrollably.

After he did all this, two soldiers finally came to their senses from the scene, quickly ran to Yan Jiang, and helped him up.

"General Yan, are you alright?" the soldiers asked with concern.

"I’m fine..."

Yan Jiang shook his head, pointed forward, and the two soldiers, not daring to say more, helped him over to where Brother Shi and a few others were sitting. He sat on a rock, panting heavily, and after a while, he seemed to feel somewhat better. His gaze swept around the surroundings and eventually locked onto Yong, still sitting at the console.

"That shot just now... cough, cough... was it you who fired?"

Yong didn’t respond; his gaze lingered on Yan Jiang for a moment before he looked towards Ghost Head and Brother Shi, who seemed to understand Yong’s intentions, quickly replying to Yan Jiang, "Yes... yes... it was indeed him who fired!"

"Did I ask you to answer?"

"Uh... that..."

Yan Jiang turned and snapped at Ghost Head, who was momentarily speechless and awkwardly looked around before lowering his head. Clearly, he was in a bad mood; the battle with "Su Xiujun" had left him particularly embarrassed, and he was saved by a Level 2 New Human, which wasn’t a good feeling for any Level 7 New Human.

After snapping at him, Yan Jiang turned his gaze back to Yong.

"Was it you who fired that shot just now?"

He asked again, but Yong still didn’t respond, as if hoping Brother Shi and Ghost Head would answer for him.

After a while, Yan Jiang frowned, squinted, glanced at the two, and asked in a low voice, "Was he a deserter with you two?"

"De... deserter?"

Yan Jiang’s question left the soldiers around momentarily stunned. Their expressions were a bit intriguing when they looked at the two, but as Yan Jiang’s gaze swept over, they quickly resumed their normal postures, not daring to say anything.

"Yes... yes?"

Yan Jiang seemed to be pondering something, his gaze lingering on the two, making them quite nervous.

The air froze for a few seconds until Yan Jiang finally asked his next question, easing the tension in the two’s hearts a bit.

"How long have you known each other?"

"We... have only known each other for two or three days, I guess?"

"What has he done?"

"Uh?" Brother Shi didn’t immediately understand what Yan Jiang meant by this question, but he quickly realized that Yan Jiang was suspicious of Yong.

Indeed, even Brother Shi was suspicious of Yong, let alone an immensely powerful figure in front of them!

He thought for a while, hesitated a bit, and finally decided to tell the entire escape process to Yong, particularly mentioning Yong’s ferocious feat of killing a seventh-level zombie.

"What! You’re saying he killed a seventh-level zombie in Wangxing City? How is that possible?"

"Are you sure you’re not lying? He’s... he’s just a Level 2 New Human; killing a seventh-level zombie is downright impossible!"

"Yong... his marksmanship is remarkable..."

After hearing Yong’s story, everyone was incredulous. These soldiers had experienced numerous battles, including the Battle of the Zombie Wave and many zombie clearing operations. They were well aware of the strength of zombies at every stage. When facing zombies beyond Level 6, regardless of a massive army size, it required careful consideration, usually choosing to retreat to avoid unnecessary harm.

Zombies above Level 6 are extremely powerful, comparable in destructive power to the protagonist of the pre-apocalyptic movie "Superman," and while not impossible for the army to kill, a truly berserk zombie at Level 6 or above could deal substantial damage to the army!

How many high-ranking New Humans there are in an army is another question, yet a Level 6 New Human standing before a seventh-level zombie would surely result in a distinction between a cockroach and a human, in individual cases reaching the level of a mere rat!

Although Tianguang’s power could indeed kill a seventh-level zombie, having every shot by a Level 2 New Human hit the target is even more outrageous than randomly combining a series of one to ten numbers to compose a beautiful essay!

The crowd looked utterly incredulous, and Yan Jiang, sitting on the rock, said nothing. When everyone looked at him, he finally spoke: "You mentioned he previously killed a seventh-level zombie, so you should have the Evolution Crystal, right?"

"Yes!" Ghost Head nodded directly at Yan Jiang’s question.

"Show it to me."

Ghost Head instinctively looked at Brother Shi, but he was taken aback in the next second; the seventh-level Evolution Crystal had been given to Crooked Neck and wasn’t with them now! How could they take it out?

"I..."

The two hesitated about something, and their behavior only had the other soldiers directly denying Yong’s earlier claim of killing a seventh-level zombie.

"No?"

"Uh... yes... um, the Evolution Crystal isn’t with us."

Their faces turned red; this feeling of having the truth but no evidence to prove it was suffocating! However, Yan Jiang didn’t seem to mind, looking at Yong again and asking, "Has he always been like this?"

"Yes, he’s always like this, silly and foolish... hahahaha..."

"Alright then..." Yan Jiang frowned slightly, finally looking toward the center area of Sanctuary City, and stood up from the rock.

The two let out a sigh of relief, and Ghost Head quickly approached Yong to praise him, "Your marksmanship is the best in the world!"
