Chapter 249 "Is There Such a Brave Warrior in the World?
"Zhang..."
Just as this person named Zhang Qi was about to say more, Chen Miao, who stood in place leaning on a cane, suddenly snapped his fingers lightly.
Immediately after, they saw a blood-red Hell Gatling rise into the air, and before Zhang Qi could react, the barrel was jammed into his mouth, starting to rotate rapidly.
"Tat-tat-tat!!!"
The harsh and secretive sound of gunfire abruptly rang out over the open ground.
A few seconds later.
There were no more clamorous voices, only a pool of blood and flesh on the ground, along with countless bullet casings, proving that a murder had apparently taken place here.
"Sigh."
Chen Miao glanced at the scene, then looked away, impatiently digging at his ear. "These aren't durable at all, they break upon touch, and even someone like this could become a bureau chief?"
"It's the Zhang family again."
"I wonder if it's just my luck, why is it that none of the Zhang family members I meet is normal?"
"I really wanted to kill that last one, I held back then, but another one has popped up."
"Really, I had intended to spare your life, but the moment you said you're from the Zhang family, I suddenly couldn't help myself."
Just then—
An extremely tragic and sorrowful cry suddenly burst forth!
"Master!"
The newly appointed deputy bureau chief, not far away, saw this scene, his eyes splitting with rage as he roared out heart-wrenchingly, then, with his eyes bulging furiously, he charged straight at Chen Miao with a fierce look in his voice.
"I want you dead!"Nôv(el)B\\jnn
"Make amends to the Master!!!"
Flames suddenly blazed up around the man, and the temperature in the air rose significantly within moments, even the air began to warp under the heatwave. Before the man could arrive, the heatwave had already struck.
His approach was fierce and unstoppable.
Chen Miao scanned the situation, and with a slight movement of his fingers, the Gatling gun floating in the air once again started rotating, sending another barrage of bullets over.
However, this time the barrage hit the deputy bureau chief, not only failing to inflict any damage but actually causing the flames around him to grow even denser and fiercer.
"Hahahaha!!!"
"Hehehehe!!!"
A sinister laugh erupted from this living person, and in the blink of an eye, the man engulfed in flames had already rushed in front of Chen Miao, with a large flame-formed sword emerging in his hand, slashing straight towards Chen Miao's head.
"Trivial tricks! Shocked, aren't you?"
"Bullets with fire attribute are useless against me! I possess the innate Flame Holy Body!"
"Die, and compensate the Master!"
"Quite good."
Chen Miao nodded, then nonchalantly pulled out a Thompson Submachine Gun from his bosom and, holding the Thomson in one hand, aimed at the deputy bureau chief who had charged up to him, slowly pulled the trigger, and unloaded another barrage.
"Click."
The man's charge suddenly froze midair, and without even letting out a scream, his body exploded into blood and flesh filling the sky, with numerous bullets piercing through his body and continuing to shoot into the distance.
Instant kill!
"You know you have the innate Flame Holy Body, don't you."
Chen Miao nonchalantly put away the Thompson Submachine Gun and spoke indifferently, "Seeing how fiercely you charged, I almost thought you had an innate immunity to bullets Holy Body. Another brave soul has left this world, what a pity."
...
Everyone present was silently motionless, their gazes uniformly directed at the two pools of blood and flesh on the ground.
The ground of Sankui Wasteland was extremely dry, even cracked, but for some reason, these two pools of blood and flesh lying here felt rather refreshing, as if a downpour had just occurred.
"..."
"..."
All of them twitched at the corners of their mouths, standing on the spot with baffled expressions, uncertain of how to proceed.
They had come to deal with this random event as ordered by the Events Bureau.
However.
The random event hadn't even started, and both the bureau chief and the deputy bureau chief had fallen, leaving them wondering whose orders to follow next.
For a moment, many eyes turned to the Head of the Enforcement Bureau, who was standing hundreds of meters away, observing with detachment.
Now, he held the highest position here, so naturally, everyone looked to him for directives, all waiting for him to give an order.
"..."
At that moment, the Head of the Enforcement Bureau, feeling countless gazes focusing on him, felt veins throbbing on his forehead, his back covered in cold sweat, as if sitting on pins and needles. He even wished he could faint that very moment.
To escape it all.
What are they looking at him for?
He had retreated to such a distance; how could they even pick him out from the crowd?
He had originally been standing behind Chen Miao and the others, but when he saw the floating Gatling, he predicted that things might get messy, and without any hesitation due to his years of front-line experience, he quickly retreated.
Till he reached a safe area.
Then the deputy bureau chief also died.
Just as he was congratulating himself on his foresight for retreating in time, everyone's gaze shifted onto him. Even Chen Miao's gaze fixated on him. This was a moment when he couldn't curse out loud, otherwise, he really wanted to swear, "What the fuck are you all looking at me for?"
Ever since he was young, he had heard the saying, "What's there to fear if the sky falls, there's a tall one to bear it."
He had always believed that this saying made a lot of sense.
But he never thought that one day, all those taller than him would die, and he would become the tall one. He couldn't bear it, how could he bear it.
At that moment—
"Come here!"
Chen Miao, not too far away, gestured for him to come over. The Head of the Enforcement Bureau, who had been pretending to be foolish and silly, immediately forced a smile uglier than crying on his face. Yet, he didn't dare delay and quickly jogged over.
This wasn't the fastest he had ever run in his life.
But it certainly was the most difficult.
He looked at the sky and then at the ground, the scenes he had long grown accustomed to now seemed so precious in his eyes. It's only when one is about to leave this world that its beauty is truly realized.
Very quickly.
The Head of the Enforcement Bureau jogged all the way to Chen Miao, his face forming an extremely ugly smile as he spoke in an unusually respectful and humble whisper, "Miao, what are your orders?"
"It's nothing."
Chen Miao shook his head and, looking at the two pools of blood and flesh on the ground, asked casually, "I'm not very familiar with federal law, I just wanted to ask, what are the criminal responsibilities for killing the head and the deputy head of the Events Bureau?"
"Will I have to go to prison?"
"If I flee to Broken Pot City, can I save my life?"
"Huh!"
The Head of the Enforcement Bureau took a deep breath and said word by word, "Federal law stipulates that publicly killing a federal government official will result in immediate execution, no chance for a reprieve."
As soon as he finished speaking.
Almost all members of the Events Bureau and the Enforcement Bureau took a step back, fearing that the next second, this Head of the Enforcement Bureau would blurt out a command to capture Chen Miao.
They definitely couldn't beat him.
They were just here to work, not to lose their lives so quickly.
Quite a few had already decided that if this Head of the Enforcement Bureau dared to give that order, they would turn and flee immediately.
How much money do they make a month?
Is it worth risking so much?
Even Hungry Monkey looked at this man with surprise, "Is there really such a warrior in this era?"
"I see."
Chen Miao nodded in agreement and then lightly shook his finger. The Gatling gun casually rotated, its barrel now pressing against the forehead of the bureau chief, "So are you preparing to capture me now?"
"Capture? What capture?" Stay connected via empire
Confusion flashed in the eyes of the Head of the Enforcement Bureau, "The head and the deputy head of the Events Bureau died in this random incident, sacrificed for the public cause. There's no talk of arrest."
"Everyone saw it, everyone can testify!"
"The head and the deputy head of the Events Bureau sacrificed themselves for the public."
"Really?"
A strange glint crossed Chen Miao's eyes. He slightly tilted his head as he thoughtfully said to the bureau chief, "I'm afraid this won't convince everyone. It always feels safer if there are no surviving witnesses, doesn't it?"
"Miao!"
The whole person of the Head of the Enforcement Bureau panicked instantly. His face turned ashen as he dropped to his knees, raising his right hand, "I can swear that these two definitely died in the random incident, and it has nothing to do with anyone present."
"But for two bureau chiefs to die in a single incident, it seems a bit unbelievable."
"The new bureau chief had just taken office and had no achievements. When the random incident occurred, he rushed forward, seeking to gain merit, but he did not realize that the incident concealed a deadly trap. The unprepared head and deputy head thus sacrificed themselves for the public, dying young."
"Does that sound reasonable?"
"Absolutely reasonable, Miao."
The bureau chief nodded frantically like a pecking chicken.
"What about the others, do they also find it reasonable?"
"Reasonable!!"
Voices merged into a wave that hung over the sky of Sankui Wasteland. Everyone present knelt down, nodding fervently like pecking chickens, knowing there was no chance of escaping, for no one can outrun a bullet, especially if Chen Miao had the intention of silencing witnesses.
The best solution at the moment was, naturally, to forget this matter, coordinate their stories, and give a reasonable explanation to their superiors.
They were also well aware.
Those higher up weren't fools; such a clumsy excuse wouldn't fool them, but that was not important. As long as it was passable on the surface, there would be no hostility between Fengtian City Government and Chen Miao.
As for the Zhang Family and Chen Miao, that was a matter to be settled privately between the two.
It had nothing to do with the Federal Government.
...
"Really? Since you all say it's reasonable, then I'll take your word for it."
Chen Miao smiled, helping the kneeling bureau chief to his feet with his cane, "Stand up, it's not good to keep kneeling. Go and report it like that later, and make sure you keep these people's mouths shut. If anything goes wrong, I'll come for you first."
"Would you like to contribute to alleviating the drought of Sankui Wasteland?"
At that moment—
The prompt sounded, and the random event "Surging Crowd" officially arrived.
