Chapter 21: Monkey King: Does Trash Deserve to Be a Hero?
“Them? Qilin is more capable than you, the shooting champion of Tianhe City, and she also possesses super genes. As for Su Xiaoli, she’s crucial. You’re the weakest link in this team; just try not to hinder us. We’re short-staffed. We were supposed to have a few more companions, but now we have to make do with what we have,” Du Qiangwei stated coldly.
The arrival of the containment object had disrupted the Special Operations Team’s recruitment plans, leaving some super soldiers yet to be recruited. However, Chuangzi, the police officer Qilin, and Su Xiaoli had been brought on board, representing good progress.
Initially, the team wasn’t supposed to deploy so soon. After forming the team, they needed time for special training in the South China Sea. But the situation didn’t allow for that luxury. The powerful beast gene fluctuations detected in Liangshan indicated the potential awakening of an ancient beast warrior dormant for thousands of years.
The entire Earth, apart from their Special Operations Team, couldn’t handle this threat. As for seeking help from angels or demons? Well, that ship had sailed since the rabbit incident. Earth had to rely on itself.
According to the old man’s instructions, it seemed that the beast warrior in Liangshan was originally one of the guardians of Earth’s peace. This mission wasn’t about defeating the target but recruiting them.
Recruiting an ancient beast warrior from thousands of years ago would significantly boost the Special Operations Team. So, despite her reservations, Du Qiangwei had to proceed.
“Me too? I… Well, I don’t understand anything. Can I livestream on the side?” Su Xiaoli, in her snug combat suit, was still adjusting to her new identity.
Just half a day ago, she was a super-popular livestreamer. Now, she was tasked with saving Earth’s peace as a super soldier, a hero for humanity.
She was skeptical of these claims, having grown up without experiencing much love and harboring deep-seated resentment towards the world. She even considered that the world’s destruction might not matter.
In the eyes of others, her mother and grandmother were promiscuous, and her own birth was a shame. Despite all this, Su Xiaoli’s inherently good nature prevented her from bringing destruction to the world.
But when Du Qiangwei offered a yearly salary of five million, Su Xiaoli promptly agreed.
What else in this world could be more reliable than money?
As for superpowers?
Even if they said she was a goddess or an angel, Su Xiaoli wouldn’t refuse as long as the price was right.
“No!” Du Qiangwei immediately refused, giving Su Xiaoli a cold stare.
The only person she could trust on this team was Qilin, the former police officer from Tianhe City.
Regarding looks, Qilin, Su Xiaoli, and Du Qiangwei were all incredibly stunning, surpassing ordinary female celebrities. These super genes granted them extraordinary superpowers, extended their lifespan beyond ordinary people, and enhanced their beauty to perfection.
Qilin remained silent, calmly gazing at the rapidly retreating mountain forest while holding her sniper rifle. On the other hand, Chuangzi, sitting among the three gorgeous ladies, was quite excited to defend the Earth with them. It felt like a dream, incredibly satisfying.
As the Night Hawk helicopter moved forward, the faces of the people on board grew increasingly grim. They could clearly see tanks being overturned on the narrow, winding national road below, along with injured civilians struggling to evacuate. Everyone’s hearts skipped a beat.
“Gulp… Captain, what should we do?” Chuangzi swallowed nervously, looking around with uncertainty.
Their helmets were equipped with night vision goggles, but there was no sign of any movement nearby.
“Be careful!”
Boom–
Qilin reacted first and raised her hand to take a quick shot. However, despite her swift response, the sound of a metal collision still echoed.
A gigantic metal club soared through the air, transforming into a thirty-meter-tall colossal pillar. It swept through, producing a piercing sonic boom, and tall trees along its path were snapped in half.
With a thunderous crash, Chuangzi flew like a baseball, crashing heavily into a nearby hill. This sudden turn of events left Du Qiangwei, Qilin, and Little Fox startled.
“Hehe… I, Monkey King, have merely been asleep for ten thousand years, and the Earth that my master once entrusted has been turned into such a mess by you! Even this trash-like thing thinks it’s worthy of being called a hero! Truly disgraceful!”
Contemptuous mocking words came from behind. At an unknown moment, a monkey with golden fur, a face covered in hair, and a humanoid stance stood with one foot stepping on Chuangzi’s power armor.
The terrifying strength even caused the super alloy armor to dent slightly. The monkey’s face was filled with disdain and mockery.
