Chapter 229 - 229 Do You Believe in the Devil? (First Update)
After Black Snake left, Su Shanna said somewhat apologetically, “Mr. Xue, this person….”
Xue An replied indifferently, “He’s just a bio-engineered soldier.”
Su Shanna was shocked and then looked at Xue An incredulously, “How did you know?”
“You can tell by looking at him, probably one of old M’s special forces, nobody else would dare to be so crazy,” Xue An said calmly.
The genes of pythons and other fierce beasts had been transplanted into Black Snake’s body, which greatly increased his strength, turning him into a terrifying weapon that reaped lives on the battlefield.
But in Xue An’s view, this was simply trash.
The greatest potential lies in humans, but if it’s tainted by the genes of wild beasts, it can never be retained.
Su Shanna nodded, “Mr. Xue indeed has a discerning eye!”
Xue An smiled, “You’re not bad at using idioms either!”
“I wonder if Mr. Xue would be interested in having a couple of drinks?” Su Shanna said with a smile.
When this woman smiled, all those who had been stealthily watching her around were stunned.
The training camp was located in the most harsh environment of Siberia.
It was covered by ice and snow for most of the year.
Although it was only in the months of August and September, it was already beginning to snow here.
However, because an army was permanently stationed here, the nearby small town was quite prosperous.
Of course, in places where M Country’s army was numerous, the streets were filled mostly with pubs.
At this moment, in a rather inconspicuous pub, Su Shanna and Xue An were sitting opposite each other, drinking the local specialty high-proof vodka.
Plainly speaking, it was just alcohol with a concentration in the nineties percentile.
Watching Xue An drink the vodka cup by cup without changing his expression, Su Shanna couldn’t help but express her surprise, “Mr. Xue, you can hold your liquor this well?”
Xue An smiled. If he wanted to, he wouldn’t get drunk even if he bathed in a vat of alcohol.
“You seem to have a lot on your mind,” Xue An put down his glass and said calmly.
When Su Shanna heard this, she was slightly taken aback and then sighed.
“Mr. Xue is really sharp, indeed, there have been some things that have been troubling me lately!”
Xue An continued to drink.
A look of panic flashed across Su Shanna’s face, “Mr. Xue, do you believe in the existence of devils?”
Xue An looked up at her and then smiled, “What’s the matter?”
“Recently…” Su Shanna paused, then said, “Lately, there have been devils appearing near this training camp!”
“I didn’t believe it at first, but one time, when I followed a team on patrol, I actually encountered them…”
Su Shanna’s face started to turn pale, “They were a group of wolves that walked upright, and they even looked at me; that gaze, it was definitely that of an intelligent being.”
Xue An remained indifferent and kept drinking slowly, “Then what?”
“I asked the locals here, and they said there indeed used to be werewolves around! If it were before, I would have scoffed at it, but now I’m also confused!”
“I’ve reported it to my superiors, but they don’t want to believe it, and now with the competition approaching, if anything goes wrong…” Su Shanna’s face was full of worry.
Xue An smiled slightly, “There’s an old saying in Huaxia, ‘Meet the soldier with the general, meet the water with the earth barrier.’ If there are werewolves, they might make this competition even more exciting!”
“I hope so!” Su Shanna’s face still carried a gloom that she couldn’t dispel.
Just then, two drunken M Country men with open chests and jovial grins approached.
Once out of the military camp, it’s necessary to change out of uniform, so Su Shanna was wearing casual clothes, her graceful figure having already aroused the desire of many men in the pub.
“A Huaxia person? Get lost!” one of the men shouted drunkenly.
Many people in the bar prepared to watch the entertainment with grins on their faces.
After all, in many situations, people from Huaxia were the ones most bullied.
Su Shanna’s expression darkened, ready to speak.
She was afraid that Xue An, in a fit of rage, would kill this man, which would really blow things out of proportion.
However, Xue An just shook his head at her gently.
“Didn’t you hear? Get lost! We want to have a drink with this little chick!” the man yelled.
Xue An suddenly grabbed a fork from the table and nailed it into the man’s hand.
The fork pierced right through his palm and sank deep into the wood.
The man was initially too shocked to react, but after a moment, he began to scream in agony.
Another charged forward intending to fight, but Xue An pinned him to the table with one hand, grabbed another fork, and stabbed it through his neck, nailing him to the table.
However, Xue An was very precise, avoiding the blood vessels with the fork, not taking their lives.
Then Xue An said in Russian, “Next time you see a person from Huaxia, remember not to be so arrogant, otherwise, you won’t be able to save your own life! Understood?”
The two M countrymen grimaced in pain, nodding repeatedly as they cried out for their fathers and mothers.
Xue An’s thunderous methods also stunned everyone in the bar.
“Let’s go,” Xue An stood up and said indifferently.
Su Shanna looked at Xue An with amazement in her eyes, and it wasn’t until they were outside that she said, “When you made your move just now, I thought you were going to take their lives!”
Xue An smiled, “Kill them? That would only dirty my hands!”
After Xue An left, the people in the bar tried to pull the two men off the table, but to their surprise, the forks were so deeply embedded in the wood that they couldn’t be removed.
In the end, they had to saw the wood bit by bit to open it, then found that the wood and forks had fused together.
This scene sent chills down the spines of several people from M country.
Just how formidable was the seemingly genteel man from Huaxia, who could meld the forks with a casual stab?
Meanwhile, at the Black Mamba special forces base in M Country,
Black Snake’s face was dark with anger.
He had just received the news that Su Shanna and Xue An had changed into civilian clothes and gone out.
This drove Black Snake, who lusted after Su Shanna, nearly insane with rage.
That Huaxia man! He must die!
Despite rumors of his strength, Black Snake was supremely confident that he could tear Xue An to pieces!
After all…
He still had many trump cards unplayed.
Touching a pale blue syringe with a smug look, Black Snake held the special stimulant that had just been airfreighted from M Country.
Once injected with it, his abilities would instantly multiply twentyfold.
What did that mean?
Currently, Black Snake’s punch packed a ton of force!
Multiply that by twenty, and it meant a single punch could deliver twenty tons of force.
That was enough to send a train flying.
That’s why Black Snake had such overwhelming confidence.
As for his subordinates, they were all standing silently against the wall with their eyes closed, like corpses.
Every one of them was hooked up to a nutrient tube.
This was the best method to conserve energy before battle!
In Black Snake’s view, only such troops were true human weapons; everything else was trash.
Fire Phoenix? Heh, I’ll send you all to hell! Black Snake chuckled coldly to himself.
