Chapter 52: Chapter 52: Taking Sides

Lin Zhen continued, Old Hu from our martial arts school has decided to quit and join the Wan Hao Group. He hasnt left yet because hes probably collecting information about us within the martial arts school. I think he saw the video that Ye Tiancheng posted on our internal network, which is how our location was leaked.
Old Hu that damn bastard! Has he forgotten how the martial arts school raised him? Hearing this news, Zhao Liang clenched his teeth in anger.
The Demon God Squad must have contacts with Old Hu, or maybe someone else is pulling strings, but thats not important anymore. The important thing is, we are in a very dangerous position right now. Since others know where we are, they can naturally determine our next move. There might be even more ambushes waiting for us.
Zhao Liang nodded, Youre right, Lin Zhen. So, what should we do now?
Theres no good solution, but there is a simple one.
What is it?
Its very simple. The target of the Demon God Squad is also the Giant Palm Bear, just like ours. As long as we encounter them, we can just kill them.
Hearing Lin Zhens murderous words, Zhao Liang was momentarily stunned.
Demon Hunters and the Demon God Squad were long-term enemies who engaged in intellectual and physical battles. In Zhao Liangs mind, he had never thought that the Demon Hunters had the upper hand in these encounters.
Despite fighting against the Demon God Squad for so long, the Demon Hunters had suffered losses since the Demon God Squad was indeed a bit stronger overall.
Therefore, Zhao Liang had never thought about directly killing the members of the Demon God Squad since he felt it was impossible.
However, after hearing Lin Zhens words, he suddenly realized that the Level
Eight Fighter betore him was now a Golden Level Spiritual Mind Master who could kill an Intermediate War General. Lin Zhen was now someone he needed to look up to.
Then Zhao Liang patted Lin Zhen on the shoulder, Lets do it your way, brother. From now on, Ill follow your commands.
Lin Zhen looked at Zhao Liang with surprise. Him saying these words was obviously a statement of allegiance, which also meant that there were hidden conflicts within the squad.
Zhao Liang just smiled and didnt continue discussing the topic. He had already said what needed to be said and had decided to put his trust in Lin Zhen, believing that he had huge potential. As long as this friend rose, the benefits would be endless.
Youre all up, huh.
While the two were talking, Gao Yan also got up, and Lin Zhen and Zhao Liang stopped their conversation.
Soon, Shi Lei and Ye Tiancheng also got up, and the Demon Hunters Squad was assembled. Shi Lei asked Zhao Liang, Is your wound okay?
Its nothing serious, just a small injury. Being a long-term hunter, this kind of injury is nothing.
Thats good. Lets get ready to leave now, take advantage of the darkness, and seize a favorable position before dawn. Explore new ovels on nvelbi(.)com
Lin Zhen glanced towards the east, where the sky was just showing a hint of white. It was indeed a good time to move. But if they could think of this, couldnt the other squads also?
At this moment, Ye Tiancheng took out his mobile phone again, intending to film another video for their departure, but Zhao Liang stopped him.
Brother Zhao, what are you doing? Ye Tiancheng was stunned, thinking that Zhao Liang had gone crazy.
Nothing, I just think your habit of filming videos is very bad. Were going to risk our lives, not going sightseeing. We have already been exposed once; whether your video was the cause or not, you shouldnt send any more of them.
Ye Tiancheng immediately felt indignant. He had always considered himself the second in command in the squad. If Shi Lei ever stepped down, he would become the next captain of the Demon Hunters. Usually, when he spoke, no one would dare to disrespect him. Since when did Zhao Liang have the guts to interfere in his affairs?
Im not posting it on a forum, just sending it to the internal network of the martial arts school. Do you really not trust our Gale martial artists? Arent you overstepping your bounds?
Zhao Liang sneered, and he now believed Lin Zhens words. He knew that Lin Zhen wouldnt shoot blindly, and Old Hu must have a problem. If Zhao Liang sent out the video again, wouldnt that be tantamount to tipping off Old Hu?
Moreover, he was injured earlier. If the Brain-eating Swallow had pecked him more accurately, he might have already been done for. At this moment, he naturally blamed it on Ye Tiancheng, who had always been arrogant and domineering, and Zhao Liang didnt like it at all.
Do as you please; I think sending out your video would be dangerous. If you insist, then well go our separate ways. Zhao Liang didnt waste time arguing and directly laid his cards on the table.
Ye Tiancheng didnt expect Zhao Liang to challenge him like this. He turned to Shi Lei, Captain, can you please say something fair? Is there a problem with me sending a short video within the martial arts academy? Is there any need for him to be so suspicious?
Shi Lei was in a difficult position at this point. Ye Tiancheng was someone he valued greatly and planned to groom as the next captain, As per the squad rules, the captain could claim more spoils of war, so almost everyone wanted to be the captain.
But Zhao Liang was an old-timer, and Shi Lei didnt know what to say, so he felt caught in the middle.
Gao Yan spoke up at this time: I also think that its not a good habit to keep sending videos. Its like in the Common Era, some people were always playing with their phones, sending videos and photos, but they didnt realize that they might inadvertently leak secrets. Like Old Zhao said, were putting our lives on the line, so its better to be cautious.
Old Gao! Why are you siding with him? Ye Tiancheng looked at Gao Yan, feeling very displeased.
Lin Zhen also spoke up: I support Brother Zhaos point of view. Whether or not you leaked the information, Brother Zhao is injured, and you should think about your teammates safety even if you dont care about yourself.
Lin Zhen! Youve only been in the team for a few days, what right do you have to speak? Are you saying this just because you block those Brain-eating Swallows before? You only succeeded because of your long-range weapon advantage! Dont you think that was some lifesaving grace? In a squad fight, who hasnt saved each other countless times? Its just a responsibility! Ye Tiancheng was somewhat embarrassed and furious.
By age, he was only a year older than Lin Zhen, but his temperament was far worse than Lin Zhens.
Of course, no one would compare to Lin Zhen, whose real age added up to more than these peoples lives combined.
Lin Zhen glanced indifferently at Ye Tiancheng: Whats right and wrong has nothing to do with how long someone has been a part of the team. As for the previous battle, Ive already forgotten about it. What do you have to hold on
During the conversation, there was a hint of silver light in Lin Zhens eyes, which was not obvious, so people wouldnt suspect it. Yet, it also instilled fear.
Glancing at him, Ye Tiancheng felt a strong palpitation, feeling that Lin Zhens eyes could penetrate through his heart, making it difficult for him to look straight at Lin Zhen.
Seeing Gao Yan and Lin Zhen both agree with Zhao Liangs opinion, Shi Lei couldnt object at this point; otherwise, his position as captain would be questioned.
Immediately, he said to Ye Tiancheng, I also think its not a good thing to keep sending videos. Since everyone is saying so, you should stop sending them. What good scenery is there in these desolate wilds anyway?
After that, he turned to the others, Alright, lets leave this matter at that and get going.
The group left one after another, disappearing into the darkness of the night.
Ye Tiancheng was the last to leave, looking at Lin Zhens not-very-strong back and clenching his fists slightly.
Perhaps, in others eyes, Ye Tiancheng appeared cowardly earlier, but he knew that his palms were sweating, and his clothes on his back were soaked through with sweat.
What is it with this Lin Zhen? Why do I feel like Im being targeted by a Fierce Beast when he looks at me? Im clearly just a Level Eight Fighter!
Although he didnt know why he was so scared, Ye Tiancheng decided in his heart to stay away from Lin Zhen.
Once they boarded the armored car, Zhao Liang drove with Shi Lei in the front seat while Lin Zhen, Gao Yan, and Ye Tiancheng were in the back.
Lets go to the stadium, drive slowly, and dont make too much noise. Although the Mutated Beasts have mutated, they still retain many of their past habits. There arent many that move at night. If all goes well, well be there in twenty minutes!
Although the armored car was tracked, its noise wasnt as loud as the old models. The engine started, and the car headed towards the stadium, making a
rustling noise..
