Chapter 213 My family's ancestral graves must have exploded to have met you in this lifetime.
Upon hearing Lu Fei's words, Shi Lei's eyes flashed with eagerness, but he immediately raised an eyebrow in suspicion.
"Since it's a great opportunity for promotion, why did you give it to me?"
Lu Fei seemed not to understand Shi Lei's wariness and chuckled.
"I'm not very capable. My awakened wind-type ability is unreliable, and I'd easily get killed if I went out. I might as well just stay in the second district and work as a minor manager."
With my skills in flattery, at least I won't suffer any losses.
Lu Fei's words were a mix of truth and falsehood, yet they were undeniably sincere. Shi Lei nodded knowingly in agreement.
From what we've seen so far, Shi Lei has figured out Gao Da's character: he's someone who's good at playing dumb and flattering others.
Especially since their attack methods are so crude, such people certainly can't stand in my way.
"So, what you mean by the opportunity to move up in rank is..."
Shi Lei's curiosity was piqued, and Lu Fei chuckled and told him about Lu Xue's ability to resurrect infinitely.
"I heard from the big gray rat in the fourth district that there is an ugly monster who can be resurrected no matter how you kill him."
"You said, if I capture that ugly monster and have you present him to the doctor, wouldn't he get a promotion if he had such a valuable experimental subject?"
"Is it really possible to resurrect indefinitely?"
Shi Lei was skeptical, but Lu Fei patted her chest and assured him it was true.
“That big gray rat is my own brother from my second aunt’s side. You can’t fool me.”
He asked me to pass on his message because he wanted to have the doctor re-engineer him, but I thought it would be better to give this opportunity to you, Captain. If you recover, I'll recover too.
Lu Fei's sycophantic manner pleased Shi Lei, greatly satisfying his vanity.
"Don't worry, as long as you promote me to the First District, I'll give you my captain position."
"Oh, thank you so much, Captain. It's such an honor for my family to know you in this lifetime."
Since that's how it's been discussed, Shi Lei decided to bring the person in and send them to the Doctor once the chaos in the third district is resolved.
However, how to connect with the doctor is a problem. Zone One is a very mysterious place. Apart from going in blindfolded during surgery, they have never had the opportunity to contact it again.
"Hey, that's easy! The opportunity is right in front of you, not far away!"
Lu Fei glanced at Yu Die's office with an ambiguous look, and Shi Lei naturally understood, his expression instantly turning sour.
The thought of being taken advantage of by a woman who reeked of grease made him feel disgusted.
"Captain~ It's not shameful to sacrifice a little bit of my looks so you can get promoted~"
Look at me, I want to sacrifice myself, but even Supervisor Yu doesn't think much of me~ With great power comes great responsibility. Once you get to the First District, whether that fat woman lives or dies will be up to you!! ???
Shi Lei was easily fooled by Lu Fei and ended up limping along with KFC. A real man can bend and stretch; it's just coaxing a fat old woman, so what? Go for it!
While Lu Fei was encouraging Shi Lei to sell himself for personal gain, she was also guarding the entrance to the third district. If anyone couldn't stand it and tried to run to the second district, she would kick them back.
How could she let such a perfect opportunity to kill slip by?
In this way, Lu Fei played whack-a-mole, kicking back anyone who ran back. Taking advantage of the chaos and distraction, she would also throw a few flashbangs and fire a couple of magazines of bullets.
"Ah, who is it? Who wants to kill us?"
Those people were injured or killed in the chaos, and they didn't even know who the murderer was.
When Shi Lei returned, trembling as if his life force had been drained, Lu Fei had already killed most of them.
She planned to save the rest for later, otherwise, if she killed everyone in the second district, the doctor would get angry and come to investigate the cause of the incident, and then lose interest in taking Lu Xue in.
She still needs the system reward to strip her of her superpowers.
"Oh dear, Captain, you've worked so hard! That Yu Die is such a scoundrel, how could she treat you like that!"
Shi Lei's face and neck were covered in bright red lipstick marks, and looking at his dark circles under his eyes, tsk tsk tsk, he must have suffered a lot.
"It's alright, it's alright. I'll go find some goji berries to make soup for you, Captain. I guarantee it'll make you feel energetic again!"
Lu Fei's comforting words did not make Shi Lei feel better; instead, he trembled even more violently. He didn't know which of Lu Fei's words had touched a nerve, but his eyes immediately welled up with tears.
"Waaaaah, I'm impure! I've been defiled by the old witch of the deep sea!!"
Shi Lei certainly knows how to use fancy words, even something like "deep-sea witch"... Why didn't he just say "jungle ghost"...?
It's all about climbing the ladder of power, making it seem like they've been raped. Who are they trying to impress with their hypocrisy?
Lu Fei thought this in her heart, but she comforted him verbally. When Shi Lei's emotions finally calmed down, those good-for-nothings also crawled back.
The chaos in the third district was finally quelled; it had been burned to ruins, leaving nothing but load-bearing walls.
Two-thirds of the people sent out by the second district were killed, and the rest were seriously injured, some even suffering backlash from their supernatural abilities and becoming crippled.
Lu Fei looked at the people being tormented by the backlash and sneered inwardly.
They awakened superpowers through crooked means, thinking it was all a good thing. One day, these abilities will become poison that backfires on them.
Because too many people in the second district sacrificed their lives, Yu Die, who gave the order, was summoned by the doctor to the first district to be punished, and this place became Shi Lei's domain.
He quickly sent Lu Fei to smuggle Lu Xue in, hoping to take advantage of Yu Die's decline and replace her in one fell swoop.
"Captain, Yu Die doesn't know anything and hasn't awakened any superpowers, so why is she the supervisor of the Second District?"
Lu Fei asked the question that had been bothering her. Upon hearing this, Shi Lei stiffened, then quickly looked around before lowering his voice to explain.
"That Yu Die, I heard, is the best friend of the doctor's wife. The doctor and his wife got together thanks to this fat woman, so to thank her, he allowed her to run rampant in the second district."
However, her status was indeed very high; sometimes, even when someone committed a capital crime, she could get them acquitted simply by making a scene!
Lu Fei covered her mouth in surprise. She had no idea such a thing happened!
"Captain, don't worry, I'll go and bring that ugly freak over right away. I'll make sure you can get into the first district smoothly. And don't forget to promote me."
After Lu Fei finished speaking, Shi Lei readily nodded and told her to quickly go and bring the people over.
