Chapter 707: What a Huge Firecracker!

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
It was night time, and the entire base was brightly lit.
All of the lights had been turned on. Searchlights were shining all over the place and surveilling. Vehicles drove around the base slowly with their headlights turned on.
There were soldiers on sentry duty in all the dark areas.
Yet, even with all these efforts, they still couldn’t capture that Chinese man.
It had never crossed anyone’s mind that one man could actually stir up such a huge mess in a military base.
Nobody had ever expected someone to actually be so strong as well as dangerous.
After the nearby Okinawa base sent two batches of support troops, there was now a total of 17,000 people searching for Ren Baqian all over this base.
However, he was like a monster.
One would occasionally hear a few rounds of gunshots whenever someone spotted him. When the people nearby rushed over, they would usually only find corpses scattered all around.
It was either that or the soldiers were already long dead when they were discovered. They were either pierced to death by a spear or strangled by a metal chain.
Yes, a metal chain as well as a spear.
At present, the soldiers could only operate in teams of 50 to 100 people. However, the movement of such big groups looked like sieves all over the base.
It had only been six hours from 3 PM until now, but more than 600 people were already dead.
Close to 200 of them died in that explosion.
The rest of them died by Ren Baqian’s hands.
Everyone would grit their teeth whenever they thought about that b*stard.
If they could catch him, they would skin him alive even if it meant risking their own lives.
Behind all of this were everyone’s fears.
When the last batch of reinforcement ground troops arrived and heard about what was happening, all of them were dumbstruck and felt chills down their spines.
At present, there were also changes to the orders that the higher-ups had passed down.
They initially wanted him alive. Later, they ordered the soldiers to try their best to catch him alive. As of now, the orders were to attack on first sight and bring back his corpse.
…
“So hungry!” Ren Baqian rubbed his growling tummy.
This was the fourth time he had stolen food since he arrived on this base. He had stolen at least 30 kilograms of beef, yet he was still famished.
Once this food entered his stomach, it was converted into essence blood and then essence qi and was spread all throughout his body. This would then be consumed according to his activities.
At present, the cafeterias were packed with soldiers, so he definitely couldn’t enter them. If this dragged on, Ren Baqian would probably have to resort to eating soil.
He wasn’t sure if his stomach could digest soil.
As he sat in the darkness, he plucked grass from the ground and stuffed it into his mouth from time to time.
It was even less palatable than raw beef.
Ren Baqian cringed and was full of emotion.
He was actually eating grass!
He wasn’t even an alpaca! This stuff was unpalatable and not nutritious. It dissolved into air the moment it entered his stomach and didn’t fill him up a single bit even after he plucked the whole patch of grass bare.
Ren Baqian heaved a faint sigh and looked very upset. Who had he even provoked? He merely sat in his car, yet trouble just came looking for him.
If Ren Baqian wanted to leave now, he would still be able to find an opportunity.
However, he wasn’t really in a hurry.
In any case, the night was still young and he was bound to find an opportunity.
He still intended to make a huge firecracker.
After this half day long battle, Ren Baqian felt that he had gained a lot of experience as he was able to drift, hide, search, and kill in the dark like a shadow.
This was even though the enemies he was facing were merely some elite soldiers from Earth.
However, this was something that he couldn’t do in the past and never thought he would be able to do.
Although this ordeal was rather aggrieving, its results were extremely precious.
Ren Baqian began to have his own experience and way of thinking, especially in terms of understanding combat and killing.
People would start to achieve things when they were forced out of their comfort zones.
In his current situation, he couldn’t help but to think of how to stay concealed and how to fight.
When a beam from a searchlight flashed across where Ren Baqian had been, all that was left of that patch of grass was a bare piece of land.
A team of soldiers rushed over to this place with their tactical flashlights, saw the bare soil among the grass, and immediately made a discovery.
“He was here.”
At that moment, a metal chain sudden flew out from the darkness and wrapped around two of their necks.
Snap.
Following the sound of their bones cracking, two of the men collapsed to the ground.
The other soldiers were all terrified and immediately started firing in front of themselves while shouting, “He’s here!”
Ren Baqian dodged behind a tree and vanished into the darkness. He avoided the other soldiers, took a detour, and appeared near an aircraft hangar that wasn’t far from the wharf.
Although there were also soldiers patrolling here, there were much fewer compared to other places.
He waited for about 10 minutes in the darkness and looked for an opportune moment before taking five seconds to dash across the 200 meters of open space in front of him. He stayed in the shadow of the hangar, slowed down his breathing, and continued to wait silently. When the timely moment came after the searchlight had passed and before the patrolling soldiers arrived, he jumped forward, whipped out the metal chain, and pulled himself on top of the hangar.
After that, Ren Baqian kept following the beam of the searchlight until it moved in another direction. He then leaped toward the ground in front, rolled, and dashed straight at the sea while taking off his clothes.
He didn’t even keep his underwear on. He held it all in his hand in case the water dripping off his clothes left a trace on the ship.
His target was the ship by the coast.
It was the largest naval military vessel and looked like an aircraft carrier.
Ren Baqian naturally didn’t know that it was an amphibious assault ship. He just felt that it looked big and thought that there must be large and powerful weapons on board.
He actually had another target, which was the area that looked like their headquarters. Unfortunately, there were too many soldiers around and he had almost no chance of sneaking in. Even if he did, it wouldn’t be easy for him to get out. As such, he settled for the next best thing, which was this valuable looking warship.
He wondered if it would decrease their military strength if he blew up this vessel.
…
“The search is still ongoing onshore. A single man actually wreaked havoc in the entire base! Or should I say Superman? Or Batman? I can’t believe that an ordinary person could do such things,” two soldiers said as they occasionally lifted their heads and looked at the chaos in the distance. They were standing by the railing of the ship as they vigilantly ran their eyes over the wharf.
“Maybe he’s Wonder Woman!” the other person added.
“I like Wonder Woman’s face and ass!” That man immediately laughed.
“No matter what, we have to be careful as well. Watch the shore and prevent him from sneaking onboard.”
“Why not the sea?”
“The Goodman Richard’s deck is 18 meters above the water, which is equivalent to six stories high. Can he fly up? Even though it is said that he can jump very high, do you believe that he can jump that high from the water? If so, I’ll believe that he’s Wonder Woman.”
“A Chinese Wonder Woman? I won’t want to acknowledge that…”
…
In Zhuo Shibao.
In the darkness, 24 scattered men watched as the cars quickly came and left.
“Lady boss is in there? What are we waiting for then? Let’s go in, kill them, and take lady boss back!” one of the burly men said in a low and muffled voice. From a simple and honest looking face, a pair of small eyes radiated an ominous glint.
Looking a little drawn, another man pacified him and said, “Wait for a while. They are still searching for him and said that Mr. Ren isn’t in danger at the moment.”
There were armed soldiers all over the place, and there were over 10,000 of them according to his information. How could they simply rush in like that?
Pacifying these “Sirs” throughout the journey here had been extremely worrisome.
If only he could defeat them… Alright, there was no way he could defeat them.
How could this group of people be so ferocious? When he saw them at the station, just a slap from one of them was enough to send his comrade, who was the same size, flying away. It was just like swatting a fly, and the thought of this sent chills down his spine.
However, they deeply admired Ren Baqian because he actually hadn’t been caught after such a long time even when more than 10,000 people were searching for him. They didn’t know how he managed to pull this off.
According to reliable information, he even killed quite a number of people.
This made them admire him incessantly.
It was simply ultra fierce for one person to kill so many people in the enemy base while being hunted down by over 10,000 people.
However, even though he was ultra fierce, getting caught was inevitable under such circumstances. They had to find him before he got caught. At worst, they had rescue him after he got caught.
If those men called such an ultra fierce person like Ren Baqian the lady boss, they wondered what kind of person the boss was.
Could they be a pair of gay men?
That would be such a pity.
“This has nothing to do with whether he is in danger or not. The important thing is that we have to get him back. If the boss finds out, we will be skinned alive,” another burly man said.
“Indeed,” echoed a few others.
What did rescuing Ren Baqian have to with him being in danger? Wouldn’t they rescue him even if he wasn’t in danger?
What they needed to do now was to get the lady boss back, not see if he was in danger.
“Even if you go in now, do you know where your lady boss is? Besides, they have so many people that I’m afraid that they will beat you to a pulp before you can even find your lady boss,” another man remarked.
“Sheesh!” A few of the burly men sneered.
You weren’t even born when I started killing people.
I’ve even charged straight into an army of 100,000, let alone these few people.
Veins started popping out of their heads when the other people heard the winged cavalry sneer.
At that moment, a gigantic blaze suddenly erupted at the wharf in the distance.
A ball of fire rose up into the air.
Then, endless sounds of explosions followed along.
This cacophony drew everyone’s attention in that direction.
Soon after, all the soldiers received an order and started running toward the wharf like mad men.
“Lady boss is there!” One of the burly men immediately stood up and burst into laughter.
“What a huge firecracker set off by the lady boss!”
