Livestream Conflict-solver: The Whole Internet Begs Me for Justice!

157: Those beasts are too cunning!Time, at this moment, was infinitely stretched.

Three seconds later.

With a ”Waaah,” a frail girl covered her face, squatting on the ground and sobbing loudly.

This cry was like a signal.

The sound of weeping quickly spread throughout the entire dormitory building.

Men and women, young and old, all began to cry.

Some wailed loudly, some muffled their sobs, and others hugged the people beside them, crying their hearts out.

An Yang was flustered by the scene, standing rooted to the spot with his gun raised.

”Brother Ze... Brother Ze, why... why are they all crying?”

”Stop crying, all of you!”

The weeping stopped abruptly.

”If you cry again, I’ll have to charge you per head!”

Zhang Ze continued to spout nonsense expressionlessly.

”On-site rescue service, basic package ninety-eight thousand. Emotional comfort is currently included as a complimentary value-added service, but it costs extra.”

Everyone: ”...”

However, the bullet screen comments in the live broadcast room erupted again because of this cheeky remark.

[Hahaha! That’s Brother Pingshi for you! Even now, he doesn’t forget his business!]

[I testify that God Zhou is absolutely a legitimate businessman! His main principle is honest dealings!]

[Stop laughing, everyone! I’m genuinely crying while watching! Thank you, Brother Pingshi! Thank you for bringing them back!]

[Everyone rise! Salute the hero!]

On the screen, the ”salute” emojis and the ”Carnival” gift effects were being spammed so heavily they looked like a mosaic.

He was very satisfied.

A huge donation is better than empty pleasantries.

These fans are worth keeping.

Seeing that the situation was under control, Zhang Ze cleared his throat and started the main business.

”Everyone, listen to my command!”

”Now, all of you stand against the wall and count off!”

As he spoke, he quickly searched through the crowd.

The target: Wang Hao.

The man for whom the system had given an S-rank rating, the only son of the academician, whose rescue Dragon Raises Head had personally ordered.

The crowd began to stir, but they obediently lined up slowly against the wall.

One hundred and ten people.

One hundred and eleven people.

One hundred and twelve people.

Zhang Ze finished counting.

Then, his heart sank.

He wasn’t there.

Wang Hao was not among them!

The Wang Hao in the photo was a young man wearing black-rimmed glasses, looking refined and very scholarly.

Although most of the people in front of him were young, they were all emaciated and looked numb; he couldn’t find anyone matching the description.

”An Yang! Chen Hu! Be on alert!”

Zhang Ze’s command instantly became sharp.

An Yang and Chen Hu immediately understood, turning their guns toward the outside of the dormitory building, guarding the entrance on the left and right.

The atmosphere, which had just been relaxed, instantly grew tense again.

The compatriots who had just stopped crying began to feel uneasy again.

Zhang Ze strode over to a young man who looked like a college student.

”I ask you, where is Wang Hao?”

”Wang... Wang Hao?”

The young man was clearly frightened, his speech stuttering slightly.

”The one who sent the distress email, the one wearing glasses.”

Zhang Ze added.

”Ah! Him! I remember now!”

The young man slapped his thigh, ”He... he was just taken away!”

”When? And by whom?”

Zhang Ze pressed him.

”It was... just when the explosions outside started!”

The young man tried hard to recall, ”That guy called Mad Dog—he’s usually the fiercest guard—he brought two men, rushed straight into our room, and hauled Wang Hao away!”

”Which way did they go?”

”Out the back! They left through the small door behind the dormitory building!”

Another middle-aged man who had been rescued quickly added.

”I saw them! They forced the young man into an SUV and drove off toward the mountains!”

Boom!

Zhang Ze understood instantly.

Black Snake, that old fox, realized the situation was wrong and immediately cut off his tail to survive!

He abandoned the entire park, abandoned the thousands of ”piglets” in this dormitory, and only took the most valuable bargaining chip he had.

Wang Hao!

Damn it, that crazy bastard ran fast!

”Chen Hu, notify Basong. Tell him to send people over to take custody of this group. Tell him the main culprit escaped, and instruct his men to blockade all routes down the mountain!”

”Have them release the people of other nationalities being held in this building.”

”Now, follow me!”

Zhang Ze no longer hesitated, turning and rushing out of the dormitory building.

Chen Hu spoke a few concise words into his communicator and immediately followed.

”Brother Ze! Where are we going?”

An Yang asked while running.

”To catch a snake!”

Zhang Ze’s answer was only two words.

In the live broadcast room, the hearts of tens of millions of viewers were raised again by this sudden turn of events.

[Holy crap! Someone else was taken away?]

[I heard it! It’s the most crucial hostage! The one named Wang Hao!]

[Black Snake ran away! Streamer, hurry and chase him! You absolutely cannot let him escape!]

[Damn it, these beasts are too cunning!]

The three men rushed out of the dormitory building. The direction the middle-aged man had pointed to was a muddy path leading into the depths of the back mountain.

On the ground, two clear tire tracks stretched all the way into the dark jungle.

”They haven’t been gone long!”

Chen Hu squatted down, touched the soil on the ground, and made his assessment.

”Chase them!”

Zhang Ze didn’t have a car, but his speed was faster than one.

He immediately activated Eagle Eye Vision; everything around him turned into clear data in his eyes.

”To the left! Bypass that minefield!”

”There’s an sentry ahead, An Yang, he’s yours!”

”Roger!”

A few seconds later, a muffled thud sounded in the darkness.

The three continued to advance rapidly.

Zhang Ze sprinted through the jungle while calling out to the system in his mind.

”System! Exchange Black Snake’s real-time location for me!”

[Ding! Detecting that the Host is currently executing a five-star mission. We can provide you with one free real-time location marking service for the target ’Black Snake.’ Do you wish to activate it?]

Zhang Ze froze.

Free?

”Activate it! Right now!”

The next second, a glaring red skull marker appeared in Zhang Ze’s field of vision, located in a valley about five kilometers ahead.

Moreover, that skull was moving fast!

”Very good.”

The jungle was hot and humid; the wind generated by their running brought no relief.

An Yang followed behind, his combat boots making squelching sounds as they stepped on the rotten leaves.

”Brother Ze, are we just running after them like this? How can two legs outrun four wheels?”

Zhang Ze didn’t turn his head; his entire attention was focused on the constantly moving red skull in his sight.

Black Snake was running extremely fast, clearly having planned his escape route long ago.

”Shut up and run faster. Think of it as free cardio.”

Just then, the jungle path ahead reached a bend.

”Da da! Da da da da!”

Gunshots rang out without warning!

A burst of bullets swept the ground in front of the three men, kicking up dirt and grass clippings.

The three instantly found cover.

Zhang Ze crouched behind a large tree, poking half his head out.

Just around the corner, a dilapidated pickup truck was blocking the middle of the road. A heavy machine gun was mounted on the truck bed, and a burly man in a camouflage vest was operating the machine gun with a sneer, constantly sweeping the area where they had just been.

”Brother Ze! It’s the rearguard! Let me take them out!”
