Chapter 172 Sickness and Weakness
"Gene, that is my name."
The middle-aged man brought Shen Qingqing to the Radiant Region.
"The Commander-in-Chief is back!"
A large crowd had gathered in front of the aircraft.
Their clothes were tattered, their faces were covered in dust, and some of them were even carrying hammers.
There were also some reporters with equipment, but they didn't look like locals.
"Good evening, everybody."
Gene's face was smiling, but his eyes were bloodshot.
"This is a distinguished guest from the Alliance."
He enthusiastically introduced Shen Qingqing.
Several pairs of eyes were staring at her. Shen Qingqing was wearing a black dress and had pale skin.
A gust of wind blew in.
She coughed a few times instinctively.
The environment here...
She somewhat regretted listening to Xiaolan.
"Ha ha……"
The middle-aged man chuckled dryly, "Miss Shen, please forgive me. Huiguang is located in a desert, where sandstorms are frequent."
Looking down the stairs leading to the airport, she wore black slippers, her hair flying in the wind.
In Gene's eyes, Shen Qingqing possessed an indescribable beauty, but she was undeniably beautiful.
Like the moment a flower withers, it makes people involuntarily care.
Shen Qingqing was followed by a woman dressed in a white robe with her face covered by a hat, so her expression could not be seen.
Alice was surprised to be assigned to the Radiance faction, as she had always been in the League in the original storyline.
[Host, don't panic. Perhaps this is your chance to gain the male lead's trust.]
【Really? 】
She's only seen the male lead once in the year she's been here, and her progress in winning him over is stuck at zero, without the slightest change. Maybe she'll have to stay here forever.
Alice came here in disguise; anyone with eyes could see that she was just a spy sent by the Alliance, and Gene knew it too.
The alliance's concerns about them joining forces with the rebels are understandable.
They always follow whoever feeds them, and will do anything to survive.
So when he proposed treating his daughter, he realized that it was impossible for her to survive.
only......
Gene glanced at the girl beside him.
She might be a variable... a variable that allows Radiance to survive.
His intuition is never wrong.
[Therefore, host, you must prove your worth by killing Gene's daughter, as a warning to Glow.]
The woman frowned. "Then what should I do?"
[Host, don't worry, they wouldn't dare touch you. You're a member of the Alliance.]
【But......】
Before coming here, she was just an ordinary person who had never killed anyone.
Since arriving here, she has been saving people every day, killing people... She can't do it.
[Host, everyone here is just a two-dimensional character; they are not real, they are fake.]
Instead of pitying them, worry about yourself.
Alice clenched her fists silently; she had to go home.
"Chief, has Huiguang received orders worth tens of billions?"
Will Huiguang no longer have to worry about its food supply for the next three years?
"Commander-in-Chief!"
As soon as they came down, those who had been stopped rushed over and crowded together.
Alice, an ordinary person, had never experienced anything like this before, and was being pushed further and further away.
The crowd dispersed in the next second, and a path was forcibly cleared in the middle.
"Please do not disturb our distinguished guests."
Perhaps because we were too far away, we couldn't see their faces clearly until we got closer.
"This VIP looks sickly; he doesn't seem to be from the Alliance, he seems more like one of our Radiance."
"Yes, they look like they haven't eaten enough."
"But these clothes look better than what we're wearing."
"Yes, yes, just like a celebrity on TV!"
These people's voices were neither too loud nor too soft; several people could hear them.
Alice glanced at the person who spoke several times, and then looked around.
The crowds were immense, and each person's eyes held something indescribable.
Gene noticed that Shen Qingqing didn't show any other expression and just kept staring straight ahead.
She looks so much like that person...
"VIP? I think they're probably spies!"
Three people walked towards us. One of them looked impatient, and as soon as he appeared, the people around him quietly moved away.
"Move back! These guys are not to be trifled with."
Gene frowned slightly. Why were they here? These people were a real headache.
"Old man, when are we going to pay the bill? We're almost out of food!"
"We came over as soon as you returned."
The man exuded a gangster vibe, had short red hair, and looked to be around 20 years old.
After seeing Shen Qingqing again, his eyes were glued to her.
"Hey! What are you looking at? Never seen a handsome guy before?" The blond-haired kid next to him kicked the child over.
"Mommy! Waaaaah! Mommy, Mommy!"
The man seemed unsatisfied, picked up the child, and laughed, "If you cry again, I'll eat you up!"
He said a chilling smile appeared on his face, and the child cried even harder.
"We agreed to give it to you at the end of each month, and the time hasn't come yet."
Gene said that these people were taking advantage of their superpowers to collect protection money without permission, and in order to keep them in peace, he gave each of them a fixed amount of money every month.
Unexpectedly, these people went further and further astray.
"Old man, it's fine if you don't give us money, but my good brothers aren't as easy to talk to as I am."
Upon hearing this, Gene's expression worsened.
He was already thirty years old when he awakened. Many superhumans were unruly and formed their own guilds, completely disregarding the government.
These people are even worse. Relying on the fact that they have sixth or seventh-level superpowered beings above them, they act recklessly, and Gene doesn't dare to mess with them.
But this time.....
"Perhaps if you give me this girl, we won't bother you for the next few months."
Red Hair became more and more excited as he spoke, and reached out to touch Shen Qingqing. He had a thuggish look on his face, showing his big teeth, and his eyes were full of infatuation.
"Big brother, so you like this one!"
The blond and green-haired men joked from behind.
No one around stopped them; they were just ordinary people and couldn't do anything.
Once you get involved with these people, they're like a stubborn plaster; you can't escape them no matter what you do.
"Come here, little sister, let your big brother touch you!"
She pouted, ready to kiss him.
Gene sidestepped, but before he could make a move...
The red-haired man was sent flying at an imperceptible speed.
"Big brother!"
The blond-haired man's expression changed, and he threw the child away; this person couldn't be allowed to get hurt.
Do you know who my older brother is?
Bang!
Another one flew out.
Shen Qingqing stood still, not a single strand of her hair falling.
"Miss Shen, I am very sorry, it was my oversight."
Gene lowered his head and placed his left hand on his chest.
"you......"
The middle-aged man's hands were trembling. When he saw Shen Qingqing staring at him, he hid behind her.
Shen Qingqing wanted to offer a few words of advice, but after thinking about it, she realized there was no need to create so much trouble for herself.
"Let's go."
She's so beautiful! Is she the male lead's ideal woman?
[Host, you need to be more ambitious. If you successfully win her over, you'll be the female lead.]
Alice stared at Shen Qingqing's back, a hint of envy in her eyes.
perhaps......
"You will pay the price for this!"
The blond-haired guy was shouting from behind.
Seeing the pitiful state of the group, the others relaxed a bit, and even felt a little happy, since these people usually bullied them.
"Miss Shen, please don't worry, I will handle the aftermath."
Shen Qingqing nodded.
Twenty minutes later.
"This is my lodging. I hope Miss Shen will not find it offensive."
Bow your head in greeting.
"Call me if you need anything..."
She doesn't like owing favors to others.
Bang! The door slams shut.
Gene then raised his head, revealing a relieved smile, with tears welling in his eyes.
These people don't deserve sympathy.
As soon as she entered the room, Shen Qingqing kicked off her slippers and flopped onto the bed.
She's going to sleep for a week this time.
"sleepy."
Soon the person on the bed became still.
The curtains were drawn, and a figure stood in the darkness.
