Super Island Tycoon

Chapter 1530: Chapter 1520: Strangers

”Brother, we are here...” One of the children spoke weakly, possibly due to excessive intimidation, his eyes full of terror. Mu Yu comforted them, ”Kids, do you know who that uncle just now was? Don’t be afraid, we are here to rescue you. My name is Mu Yu, and that idiot over there is called Jiang Cheng.” Jiang Cheng’s face turned purple upon hearing this, glaring at him fiercely, as if wanting to devour him. But considering there were all children here, he held back. ”Yes, kids, who was that scary uncle just now? Do you know? Have any people interacted with him? You’ve been here for quite a while, right?”

”Are you really here to save us?” a frail boy in the lead asked. ”Yes, do we look like bad people to you? Of course, we are here to save you.” ”Wow!” Everyone started crying. The two who weren’t good at comforting children were at a loss, unsure of what to do.

”Brother, hurry and take us away. That person seems to be from Mo Sect. Every time a bunch of scary people with scars on their faces or hands come, and they often talk about extermination plans or something. There’s always one person they call ’boss,’ and they say soon there will be tobacco and gunfire at a villa and such. They often discuss a topic about why K wants revenge, and I heard that K is one of their high-ranking people. That’s all we know. Brother, can you take us away? I’m so scared, I want to see my mom.”

”Brother will take you away. Be good.” Jiang Cheng looked at their appearance, recalling when he missed his mom as a child. In the blink of an eye, time had passed.

”Hey, buddy. Wake up, what are you daydreaming about again?” Mu Yu couldn’t help but push Jiang Cheng, who had been staring blankly ahead. ”Oh, go, go. By the way, how will we get back?” Jiang Cheng suddenly remembered something. ”Yes, there are so many children, let me count: 1, 2...”

”Ten, there’s so many.” Mu Yu also realized the problem.

”Brother, can we ride a helicopter? Do either of you know how to fly?” A loud female voice sounded. ”Helicopter? How could there be a helicopter here? Kid, don’t joke around.” Jiang Cheng thought she was joking. ”It’s true. Last time I saw their boss flying a helicopter here. But he got angry about something and left, and the helicopter is behind that warehouse.” The little girl said meekly.

Mu Yu quickly ran behind the warehouse and indeed found a helicopter, but the problem was that he didn’t know how to fly it. Jiang Cheng knew, but not very well, and he didn’t dare let him fly it; this was tens of lives at stake. ”Don’t you trust me?” Jiang Cheng knew Mu Yu wouldn’t trust him. ”Rest assured, I will be careful with so many lives, and if I don’t fly, who will? Are we going to be trapped here and starve to death?” Jiang Cheng became serious.

”Alright, today we entrust our lives to your care, be careful. There are many kids here.” Mu Yu eventually trusted him. Despite looking careless, Jiang Cheng was extremely serious when needed.

”Rumble,” the helicopter took off. Many kids who had never seen a helicopter laughed happily. ”Hey, Jiang Cheng, what’s the ultimate goal of this gang?” Mu Yu asked. ”What? Isn’t it just to destroy us?” Jiang Cheng, true to his professional training, chatted while piloting the helicopter. ”I don’t think so. You say he wants to destroy us, yet keeps these elderly and weak around. I now suspect they might want to spread some kind of virus.” Mu Yu spoke after deep thought, having reasoning behind his words, like keeping elderly and weak around. It’s unlikely to use them as cannon fodder, especially when their arsenal is stronger than the military’s.” ”Yeah, now you say that, I remember when that uncle was leaving, he seemed to be holding a jar.” Jiang Cheng casually said. Mu Yu felt like he obtained some information. ”Did you see what was written on the jar?”

”DVY, probably.” This is a type of virus, very contagious. If released here, it could spread up to 4 kilometers. Things are worse than we thought.” Mu Yu closed his eyes. ”Brother, I have a note here; it should be useful, have a look!” A little boy stood up. ”The boss was angry last time and threw many things, and a ball of notes flew to me. I can’t read, but I think it should be useful. It has a seal on it.”

”Tonight at ten, gather in front of Baisha Building, bring all brothers, immediately commence rescue of K, must kill all troublemakers. Big Boss.” July 8th, wasn’t that the night after K died? But why was there no commotion that day?” Mu Yu was curious. ”Kid, when did you find the note?” Jiang Cheng asked. ”July 7th.”

”Mu Yu, understand now? On July 7th, K died, and their boss was extremely angry that night, throwing notes to them, and there was no commotion the next day. What does this indicate? It indicates they knew K had died on July 7th; otherwise, the boss wouldn’t have been so angry.” Jiang Cheng organized his thoughts.

”Yeah, I got it. Their goal this time was to spread the virus for revenge.” Mu Yu also understood.

Jiang Cheng came to a child, untied him, and the child whispered: ”Thank you.” Jiang Cheng paused for a moment and then patted the child’s head, making him very happy.

The child who was untied still felt a bit scared, but the joy of being rescued prevailed, and he looked wide-eyed at Jiang Cheng.

Jiang Cheng cleared his throat: ”How did you all get here, and how were you tied up?” Initially, no children dared to speak. After a while, a timid voice sounded: ”Brought here by strangers...” Jiang Cheng looked toward the source of the voice; it was the untied child, who seemed a bit chubby, but despite looking dirty, his bright eyes made one not want to bully him.

Jiang Cheng gestured for him to come over; the little boy hesitated for a moment but went over.

The little boy stood in front of Jiang Cheng, staring straight at him. Jiang Cheng smiled warmly, ”Don’t be scared, come and tell brother, what’s your name?” The little boy shyly replied: ”My mom and dad call me Hu.”

”Okay, Hu, tell brother, how did you get here?” Jiang Cheng continued to ask.

Hu rubbed his hands, dirt falling to the floor as he did so. ”I... My mom told me to stay home, but... I didn’t really listen to her, and ran outside on my own. Then, while playing, I suddenly fell asleep... and when I woke up, I was here.”

As he spoke, Hu began to choke up: ”If... If I had listened to my mom and didn’t go outside, I wouldn’t have been captured by the bad guys... wah wah wah wah...”
