Chapter 180

"Well enough."

Han Fei shrugged. "It's nothing serious."

The "Golden Bullet Clears the Man" meme has always been a running joke, but Han Fei is now even more awesome than that, hitting the air with a level 4 bullet.

But in his view, bullets are meant to be fired, and there's no point in saving them.

It's like using a golden bullet to clear out bots. If you don't use it and insist on using a knife, the bots will damage your armor, making things even more troublesome. It's better to just use a golden bullet to finish them off.

Spending some bullets to drive away the assassins from the Armorless Union and gaining access to a large area to search was, in Han Fei's view, a profitable deal.

However, to be fair, this place currently gives Han Fei a feeling that it's somewhat similar to Blues Mountain City.

Okay, the mountain town isn't that dilapidated, but in terms of the density of houses, it's not that much different.

The difference is that Blues Mountain City is just a small area; if you're lucky, you might get two Little Bread, but if you're unlucky, you might only get one.

Here, although the map shows there is no bread.

But its area is much larger than Blues Mountain City!

Before long, Texas and Flametail Sona returned.

Texas remained expressionless and said, "It took a little longer than expected; I did a quick search of their bodies along the way."

Flametail, however, was filled with indignation and said angrily, "These guys, they just got away like that! I'm so angry! If I see them again, I'll teach them a lesson!"

Han Fei raised an eyebrow and said, "Instead of that, why don't we clean up this mess first?"

Sona took a deep breath, forcing herself to calm down, and said, "You're right, there might still be people who need help."

Let's split up.

Han Fei shrugged and said, "I happen to have some medical supplies with me. If I encounter any wounded people, I might be able to treat them."

"Yeah."

Sona's eyes lit up immediately, and she quickly said, "That's wonderful! Thank you so much for tonight!"

With that, Sona bowed deeply and solemnly said, "I will remember this kindness. I assure you, if you need anything, please don't hesitate to ask, and I will never refuse."

Han Fei waved his hand and said, "There's no need to be so formal. Well then, my team and I will set off first."

"Okay, thank you!" Sona nodded repeatedly.

"Let's go."

Han Fei immediately called Texas and Theresa, and they left the rooftop to go to other houses.

After they had gotten a little distance apart, Theresa said, "Is this for dinner?"

"Not entirely."

Han Fei shook his head. "If it's just about having a meal, I think we have plenty of opportunities to have a meal."

"Well, how should I put it, I'm too lazy to bother."

Han Fei didn't want to spend the whole time talking; explaining the search mechanism was one thing, explaining the rescue was another.

He doesn't mind helping these sufferers, but it would be too much trouble if he spent all his energy explaining how he could bring the dead back to life.

In front of Theresa and Texas, Han Fei didn't need to explain so much.

"Saving someone's life and then incidentally booking a room for them is perfectly reasonable."

As Han Fei spoke, he led his men into the residential building and began his search and rescue operation.

However, probably because Wild Mane and Fartooth were there before, all the residents of this house have disappeared, and there are no corpses on the ground, so they have obviously been moved.

Since no one else is around, it's naturally Han Fei's show.

What are you babbling about? Let's eat first!

The more Han Fei searched, the more he felt this place was Blues Mountain City.

--It looks big, but there are only a few containers that can be searched.

They searched several buildings, Han Fei couldn't find anything; all they found were cheap little blue and purple toys.

It has to be said that this place is indeed very much Blues Mountain City. You can touch some of the clothes, but they are all work clothes, not a single white lab coat.

Han Fei wasn't picky about food; he'd touch any container he could get his hands on, even bird eggs and manhole covers.

As he was feeling for the manhole cover, he suddenly heard Theresa exclaim, "Wow, it's golden!"

This piqued Han Fei's curiosity, and he subconsciously asked, "What's wrong?"

Then Theresa poked her head out from the rooftop, holding a round, golden egg in her hand, and said, "Look, it's Golden Bird Egg."

"Ha?"

Han Fei was somewhat surprised, wondering what this thing was.

Theresa smiled broadly, clearly delighted, and said, "One costs 280,000!"

"And Golden Bird Egg?"

Han Fei was now truly curious. He strode up to the rooftop and said, "Can I take a look?"

Theresa gently handed the bird egg over. "Here you go."

Han Fei took the bird egg and looked at it. Goodness, it looked really good.

Then, upon closer inspection, he realized, "Oh, it's a anniversary celebration."

So it's already been a year since the continent started its first year?

Time really flies.

Han Fei clicked his tongue, returned the bird egg to Theresa, and asked, "Where did you find this? Did you take it from a bird's nest?"

"No, it was right there on top of the nest," Theresa explained. "I just picked it up along with the other eggs."

"Is there really such a thing?" Han Fei clicked his tongue in amazement. "Looks like I'll have to go raid bird nests too. I have to get one of those Golden Bird Eggs, no matter what."

"Then I'll give you mine?"

Theresa naturally handed the bird egg to Han Fei.

"No need."

Han Fei waved his hands repeatedly, "You can keep it yourself."

Han Fei prefers to handle these special collectibles himself.

"Okay, I'll put it away then." Theresa put the bird egg away. "Actually, I didn't expect to find a red item so quickly. It's great."

"Congratulations."

Han Fei chuckled and said, "You can keep it when you get back. It's definitely a valuable keepsake. It's not just an ordinary rare and high-value collectible, but a special item."

That makes sense.

Theresa couldn't resist taking out the Golden Bird Egg again, playing with it for a while, and then said with a smile, "Can I put it in my own room?"

"Of course," Han Fei said, "You can choose a good spot and save it."

A Golden Bird Egg is only worth 280,000. To be honest, that's not much money. If it really came to that, Han Fei would rather start the game again with just a knife and find all the equipment than sell the bird egg.

Just then, Texas's voice came from a nearby apartment building:

"Boss, we might need you to come over here."

"They've arrived."

Han Fei turned around and strode away without hesitation, and Theresa quickly put away the Golden Bird Egg in her hand and followed closely behind.

The two entered the old two-story residential building. In the living room on the second floor, a suffocating scene came into view—a family of three lay silently on the cold floor, no longer making a sound.

Three merciless arrows took away three vibrant lives.

The youngest child, who looked no more than eleven or twelve years old, also could not escape the massacre. The assassins of the Armorless Union showed no Mercy, and their cold arrows also took away his life, which had just begun.

An overwhelming sense of pity and sorrow welled up in Theresa's eyes, and she pleaded softly, "Can we help them?"

"I'll give it a try."

Han Fei immediately pulled out Hormone Gun, strode forward, and crouched down to prepare to provide first aid.

However, when he examined it carefully, he stopped moving.

Perhaps because too much time had passed, the breath of life had long since dissipated, and even the Hormone Gun was powerless to revive it.

He silently packed up his equipment, slowly shook his head, and said in a low voice, "... Too late."

"This is truly heartbreaking news." Theresa sighed softly, her gaze lingering on the small body for a long time, unable to look away.

With her gentle nature, it was natural that she couldn't remain calm in the face of such a cruel scene. After all, she was the founder of the Babel, who once dreamed of bringing peace to all people.

Although Han Fei didn't fully reveal his emotions like she did, he was by no means indifferent.

He chose to suppress his surging emotions and transform them into more efficient action. "I'll go check out the other buildings."

"Good."

Theresa responded softly, stepped forward, bent down, and gently closed the eyes of the child who had not yet been able to rest in peace.

Han Fei quickly left the building and continued searching the surrounding area. However, the situation did not improve—the efficiency of the Armorless Union's cleanup was alarmingly high. After leaving the area where Fartooth and Wild Mane had been, the remains of victims could be found in almost every building.

Worse still, perhaps because of the time wasted en route, most people had already missed the golden window for rescue.

Even with the Hormone Gun in his hand, Han Fei couldn't pull that cold body back from the brink of death.

He searched eight buildings in a row, but found no treasure. All he could put in his backpack were some small purple things. At the same time, he couldn't save a single life.

Han Fei's brows furrowed even more deeply.

He is not a heartless person.

If the person lying on the ground were a mercenary who had lived a life of violence, he probably wouldn't even blink—having chosen this path, one should be prepared to die on the battlefield.

Trading one's life for money is only right; when killing others, one should be prepared to be killed oneself.

But these people are not. They are just ordinary people struggling to survive in the lower rungs of Kazimierz, fathers, mothers, children...

Why should they be so inexplicably killed by a stray arrow simply because they were suffering from Oripathy?

That doesn't make sense!

Just then, Texas and Theresa suddenly approached, and the latter said softly, "I've witnessed many tragedies; it's truly heartbreaking."

Her gaze, as gentle and warm as ever, seemed veiled by a thin mist. It wasn't tears, but a deep, somber look, a reflection of unspoken sorrow.

Even Texas, who is usually aloof, no longer has the calm and composed look in her eyes.

"Boss."

Theresa met Han Fei's gaze naturally and asked, "Aren't we going to consider what that young man just said?"

To be honest...

After a moment of contemplation, Han Fei said, "Actually, I didn't initially plan to get involved, but now, I'm thinking of giving it a try, and..."

He paused, a bright smile spreading across his face. "I'm thinking of pulling off a big heist. These assassins are all dogs of the Commercial Union. What do you think? We could launch a surprise attack. I'm tempted to give it a try."

Both Theresa and Texas were taken aback when these words were spoken.

Texas had been prepared to agree to Han Fei's suggestion, but now, this new plan forced her to re-evaluate the pros and cons.

She wouldn't always go along with Han Fei. As his "female secretary," she naturally had to pull him back when he got carried away.

Moreover, initially, they only intended to help the young man complete his plan.

However, this surprise attack on the Commercial Union is quite different in nature.

This represents a greater danger, after all, the Commercial Union is the de facto controller of Kazimierz.

P. S.: Happy state-owned enterprise folks.

Volume One: Chapter 209 The Sufferers

"You really have a lot of nerve."

As a former Demon King, Theresa was quite familiar with the situation in Terra, and she knew how powerful the Commercial Union was in Kazimierz.

Attacking the Commercial Union here, in terms of status, is not much different from attacking the Military Committee in Kazdel or the Church in Laterano.

Of course, this refers to status.
