Chapter 479 - 358: Players with Red Names Must Die!
"Pleased to meet you!"
Li Zheng nodded politely to Joanna. If it weren’t for her, even if he could leave tonight, he would have to take some risks.
Joanna had a typical Western face, yet she had learned fluent Dragon Country Mandarin: "I’ve long heard of your great name, Your Excellency. Meeting you today, you truly live up to it."
She only mentioned hearing about the great name, but didn’t say what kind of great name.
So this was a standard pretentious polite phrase, equivalent to blowing hot air.
"What kind of fame, can you be more specific in your praises?" Li Zheng smiled modestly.
Joanna was caught off guard by such a shameless comment, then covered her mouth and chuckled softly: "Qi Shao told me men from Dragon Country are hard-core by nature and never know what humor is. Meeting Mr. Li today, I realized Qi Shao’s woven lie."
Qi Shao?
Not Mr. Liu, not Major Liu, and not Liu Qishao, but an endearing "Qi Shao"?
Li Zheng glanced at the Major with surprise, and the other party smiled subtly: "Let me reintroduce, Joanna, my girlfriend whom I met while studying abroad."
Li Zheng was taken aback, damn it, this is your girlfriend, why didn’t you say so earlier?
He smiled broadly and reached out again: "So it’s sister-in-law, I’ve long heard so much."
Long heard is also a bunch of bullshit...
He had always thought Liu Qishao was like him, a fellow single dog.
Joanna was amused by how quickly Li Zheng changed his expression and gracefully shook hands: "Mr. Li really has a sense of humor. I wonder how Mr. Li plans to deal with those people outside?"
When this topic was brought up, Li Zheng became serious.
By rights, those people dared attack him; surely, they needed to be killed off in the end.
But Joanna bringing this up meant she had some thoughts.
"What does sister-in-law think?"
"The other nine Knight Commanders of the Round Table Knight Order and Rebecca’s White Bear Legion members, I want to take them." Joanna stated her request, "The rest, feel free Mr. Li."
"I understand taking the Knight Commanders, but why take the White Bear Legion? Are you familiar with Rebecca?" Li Zheng was not too happy—he’d just learned about the White Bear Legion, and there were fifty people in total, though not many were red-named players, about ten or so.
"The current leader of the Round Table Knight Order is my sister." Joanna said this and smiled without saying more.
Li Zheng instantly understood: "I see."
At this moment, Liu Qishao sent a private message to Li Zheng: "My girlfriend and my sister-in-law are biological sisters, both with Mickey Royal Family blood. She helped us this time; in a few days, we’ll need to help her once."
Li Zheng: "You’re just going to watch and let the sisters kill each other?"
Liu Qishao: "My sister-in-law is racist, extremely discriminating against Asians. From what I know, there have been several shootings and sexual assault cases involving Dragon Country compatriots in Mickey Country, with her support from behind, but I have no evidence."
"When is the time to act? How do we want her to go?" A cold light flashed in Li Zheng’s eyes.
Liu Qishao: "We’ll wait for Joanna’s notice."
"Alright!" Li Zheng nodded, "You can take those people, but they have to leave behind their highest-tier equipment, items, and materials."
"No problem."
Joanna decisively agreed, Li Zheng’s request was within her expectations.
She was even prepared for Li Zheng to have higher demands, like leaving all items behind.
"Then let’s go, settle the remaining matters outside, and we’ll have some time to go back to sleep for a while." Liu Qishao suggested.
"Okay." Joanna had no objections.
Li Zheng told them to wait a moment, then pulled Xiao Ying up.
He mainly needed the pink Poli wrapped around Xiao Ying for use later.
The group went outside, all the Blood and Qi Suppression Devices on the unaligned army had been removed, and more than half of the people had blood-colored auras around them to varying degrees!
Those entangled with blood qi were separately held by Zhan Zhouzhou.
Interestingly, the White-headed Eagle members, initially thought to have no self-awareness, protested vigorously, loudly proclaiming their innocence.
This scene piqued Liu Qishao’s interest. Having heard about the White-headed Eagle, what he saw was starkly different from the rumors.
"I want to see your boss! This must be a misunderstanding!"
"Who are you people? Why are you kidnapping me?"
"Let me go! I’m a Star-Spangled Banner Country citizen! You have no right to arrest me!"
"My dad is Morick, chairman of Texas real estate! We can negotiate any price you want!"
"Dumbasses, let me go if you dare; see if I won’t kick your asses!"
It’s hard to associate these loud-mouthed wimps with the silent, zombie-like and fearless soldiers from not long ago.
When Li Zheng brought Xiao Ying to the front of them, their cries changed again.
"Oh my God, that’s... that’s Zhuaigen!"
"No! Have aliens taken over Earth? Why do I see an alien?"
"Oh my God, what on earth happened? Can someone explain it to me?"
"Don’t eat me! I... I want my mom! Waaaa..."
Li Zheng stood in front of them, curiously asking: "Why are these people reacting so strangely, like the first day they entered the Matrix?"
Prelis’ Eye had already scanned everyone thoroughly, marking exactly where each one’s chip was installed, from where to cut, and how large a cut was safe to remove it.
Having Prelis’ Eye had this disadvantage—before those unaware, he had to feign ignorance.
After all, this thing’s function was too defiant; even if he lied, saying it was equipment or ability effect, few would believe it.
"This matter is a bit complicated, but you just need to know that these people were controlled before today." Liu Qishao speculated on their sudden return to reason.
It was likely due to that laser net in the sky isolating all signals, rendering even chips brought in from the Outer World useless.
The two mechanical design masters of Nine Heavens were indeed impressive, able to create such brutal tools; given time it might be as easy as turning palms to eradicate the White-headed Eagle.
"Oh, is that so?" Li Zheng called to one side: "Get a few people, drag them over there, ask them why they joined the army in the Star-Spangled Banner Country; if they participated in any wars while serving, and which wars they participated in, make sure you get clear answers!"
"Yes, Boss!" A few players from Channel 879 responded, coming over to drag a few soldiers away for questioning.
A player returned shortly after asking Li Zheng: "Boss, what about after we finish questioning them?"
After?
Li Zheng looked at him silently: "Do I even have to say it? Count every one of them, kill them all! Let the brave brothers get a taste of human blood!"
Whether these soldiers had intent or not, each carried blood qi and had killed a minimum of three white-named players.
And Li Zheng’s stance was red-named players, must die!
