Lord of End of World

Chapter 70



Seeing Young Master Gong’s figure followed by Gu Nan, people in the training field were curious. Ma Jun and the others especially so and they hated not being able to rush up to Young Master Gong to ask about it.

But break time had not arrived yet and they were afraid to act without authorization.

"Lixin, Uncle Gong let you pick your own small team alone. This is a great opportunity for learning. You must be cautious. About the team members you have in mind, you don’t know what they’ve been through these past few days, so don’t be surprised if they refuse to join." Song Haoran told Gong Lixin.

Then, feeling like he sounded too negative, he smiled and added, "But if it’s you who’s asking, I don’t think there’s any person reluctant to join. Alright, go ahead. I’ll also go and gather my crew."

"Waving his hand, Song Haoran watched Gong Lixin move away before turning and walking towards his comrades.

Gong Xiangyi also took Lin Wenbo and began to look for candidates based on her ideal list. But as she rushed along, she soon turned pale white and felt very embarrassed.

"What’s wrong?" Lin Wenbo casually asked as he stood at the edge of the training ground, leaning against a horizontal bar. His eyes followed the young man silently until Gong Xiangyi blocked his view.

These team members were not the ones he wanted, so he had no interest in the team. Regardless of their strength, the character was very debatable because among them he saw the water ability user named Zhao Ying who had just bullied Gu Nan. The boy was on Gong Xiangyi’s list and he was doubtful about Gong Xiangyi’s vision.

"I’m mad. They’re not willing to say that they’ll join and are waiting for Gong Lixin’s choice before deciding!" Gong Xiangyi said with grim.

"Haha!" Lin Wenbo looked up and laughed. His sturdy and handsome facial features highlighted with a layer of light golden light from the setting sun made him more beautiful and innocent and made Gong Xiangyi look straight at him. She found that since she had been reborn, she’d never seen Lin Wenbo so happy. No. She should say that after all she had suffered in her past life, she never saw Lin Wenbo laugh again.

Desperate for Lin Wenbo’s smile, a touch of joy rushed in amongst the grievances in Gong Xiangyi’s heart. But Lin Wenbo’s next sentence made her angry once again.

"Xiaoxin is really popular! Then wait a while, wait for Xiaoxin to pick and then you can try again." Lin Wenbo smiled and his tone was gentle. Even hidden amongst the crowd, the teenager was still striking.

"Why? Why can I only pick after him? Why am I less important?" Gong Xiangyi said sullenly.

"I don’t believe that I can’t find anyone to join!" She stumped her feet and walked away to recruit whoever looked strong in her eyes.

Lin Wenbo shook his head and his deep dark eyes looked at the teenager in the crowd again. After locking onto his figure, he was no longer willing to look away. The troubles in his heart naturally dissipated and the corners of his mouth couldn’t be held back as they curved up.

Gong Lixin made the crowd who was interested in moving towards him line up. Then he walked straight to the corner occupied by Wang Tao and the others. He passed a wooden pile and saw two people who practiced with their fists and feet around the wooden pile. He stopped and stood still as he watched.

These two people were not strangers but were actually Da Liu and Ling Yun that didn’t have any abilities. They were concentrating on hitting the wooden piles; punching and kicking it. Both their hair and clothes were soaked in sweat and clung to their skin as if they had just come out of the water. That was to what extent that the two trained hard.

However, Gong Lixin was not startled by their sudden change in appearance. He paid more attention to the changing strength, speed and acceleration of their attacks. However, it didn’t change the fact that in just half a month, their spirits were quite different from before, almost as if they reincarnated. Gong Lixin wasn’t biased, he walked up to them with a shallow smile and a sigh of relief in his eyes.

"How come you’re both here?" He interrupted the two people hard at work.

"Young Master Gong!" Da Liu and Ling Yun stopped in their action and called out at the same time, their face showing their excitement. Because of their embarrassing status of being ordinary people, they suffered a lot of sneering and ridicule from the crowd. Over time, they had developed the habit of ignoring others, so they had not found out about the arrival of Gong Lixin until just now.

"Young Master Gong, the military has issued a degree, recruiting ordinary people to form a self-defence force responsible for patrolling around the base. If we want, we could also team up for a mission. Me and Ling Yun have no ability and we can’t find serious work and we’re afraid of being starved to death. After discussing it between us, we decided to sign up. I didn’t expect that even though the degree was issued three weeks ago, only the two of us signed up. The number of people needed to team up was not enough so the military let us and the ability users train together." Da Liu quickly explained.

"Yes, Brother Da Liu is right. We only ask for food. But besides singing and dancing, I don’t know anything. Nothing will happen like this and we will starve to death sooner or later. It’s better to fight hard, so that you can die with some worth." Ling Yun wiped the sweat from her forehead and the look in her eyes had already changed from the one in the past. It had become as firm as a meteorite. The death of Ling Yin made her grow up almost instantly.

"That’s a good idea." Gong Lixin nodded and for the first time, looked at Ling Yun with appreciation.

Ling Yun had been once looked down upon by him and she remembered her arrogance brought up from her luxury lifestyle. Her heart felt ashamed. Da Liu seemed to understand her thoughts and patted her on the back with comfort, exchanging smiles with her. After ten days of hard work, the two people cultivated an extraordinary tacit understanding.

Seeing the two getting along, Gong Lixin nodded with satisfaction and slowly said, "These shallow fists may not be enough to deal with zombies though. I have a set of knives back in my room. I need men and women to practice a certain martial art to use them. I think they would be very suitable for you two. If you are interested, I can teach you."

"Interested! Of course, we are interested! Thank you, Young Master Gong!" The two people answered instantly, their eyes gleamed with ecstasy. They hugged and thanked each other in unison, saying that their abilities were not bad with the utmost understanding between the two.

Gu Nan saw this and couldn’t help but smile. He was happy for both of them. The knife technique that Young Master Gong produced must be extraordinary. Da Liu and Ling Yun will be blessed in the future.

When it came to Young Master Gong, Gu Nan had always blindly trusted him. Because of that, the moment he saw him appear, he triggered his wind ability because of this deep-rooted trust and set foot on the path to becoming stronger. Inadvertently, Gong Lixin’s words had become a belief-like existence in some people’s heart.

Gu Nan smiled. Da Liu and Ling Yun felt shy as both of them started to leave. Feeling they could not express agitated their hearts.

"Don’t thank me. After finishing you’re training, come to my room to find me. I will show you and you two have to practice it diligently in the future." Gong Lixin waved his hand and then pointed with his eyes at Wang Tao and the others. "I’m going to see them so wait for them. See you."

Da Liu and Ling Yun quickly turned around and watched him leave. The gratitude in their hearts couldn’t be described by words. They only hated that they couldn’t learn immediately, so that they could put the cart before the horse.

"Boss, you finally came to see us!" Wang Tao said with tears seeing Gong Lixin with Gu Nan following in his steps.

"I didn’t know you were attending special training here. If I knew, I would have come sooner." Gong Lxin licked his lips in embarrassment. He never made friends before, so he didn’t know how to maintain friendship. Seeing his friends didn’t come to see him, although he was somewhat disappointed, he wouldn’t take the initiative to disturb their lives.

"We thought you forgot us! You’re a big man now and we didn’t dare go to see you." Wang Tao said happily as he scratched his head.

"You can come and see me anytime when you’re free." Gong Lixin smiled as he invited them over.

"Great! Brother Gong, I’ve been thinking about you for half a month!" Xiao Sun Jie looked up and smiled.

Gong Lixin felt ashamed. He unnaturally reached out and touched Sun Jie’s head and the touch was soft and smooth and felt impeccably good. His eyes lit up and he touched two more times before letting go. This time, he finally knew why Big Brother Song and Big Brother Lin always loved to pat his head.

"Young Master Gong, Gu Nan didn’t trigger his ability and has been bullied by the two boys Zhao Ying and Li Jie. You have to help me teach them a lesson!" After several people finished their greetings, Ma Jun spoke up through gritted teeth.

"Good brother!" Gu Nan felt very moved and wanted to reach out to hug Ma Jun’s shoulder, but avoided it after seeing his disapproval. Gu Nan took back his muddy hands, his mouth twitched and his heart didn’t feel as moved anymore.

"Gu Nan has just triggered his wind ability. He taught the two men himself and I don’t need to take care of it. After being bullied by others, you should take care of it yourself. If you can’t do it now, continue to work hard until your strength surpasses that of the other person. By hiding behind others and relying on others, you will never know how to better yourself and how to be strong. This way, how can you be qualified to fight with me in the future?" Gong Lixin furrowed his brows and lectured seriously.

"Ah?" Ma Jun was so excited that he opened and closed his mouth several times without succeeding in making a sound. "Young Master Gong, you mean for us to be your team members?"

"Yes, all of you, including Sun Jie, will be part of my team in the future." Gong Lixin decided and nodded. He picked his people. They were far from the best, but it was not their strength that he valued. With Wang Tao and the others, he was very comfortable and he didn’t need to be too careful. This was enough. If their strength was not good enough, he could slowly teach them later.

"Yeah!" Ma Jun and Wang Tao were excited and felt stunned, attracting all kinds of envious and hateful eyes their way. Looking at their happy appearance, they didn’t even need to think about it as it was obvious that they had been selected by Young Master Gong. In the base, everyone knew that if Young Master Gong was on the mission then their safety was absolutely guaranteed!

"Young Master Gong," Sun Tiantian was also very happy, but after the happiness faded, she hesitated and honestly said, "Please think again about your decision. My ability’s strength is very poor. I don’t even know how to use my earth ability. Yes, the only thing I know is the ’sink’ technique I stole from Li Jie. Although my younger brother is not weak, he’s a child after all and his physical strength can’t keep up. I’m afraid that we will drag you down."

Wang Tao saw her face and his excitement also quickly faded. He opened, "Yeah, Sun Tiantian is right. We are too weak and will drag you down. I’m a power ability user. They all say that power ability user is a second-class ability and is useless. It’s nothing more than strength."

Hearing the self-criticism of Wang Tao and the others, the people who envied them finally felt soothed and erected their ears, waiting for Young Master Gong’s answer...
