The world has turned into Hell's Game, why should I stay human? Chapter 1345 821: It's Over, This Is Truly a Russian-Style Rescue

"I found out that as long as others consume the fodder I haven't digested, any harm they suffer will be shared with me."

Niu Daji announced.

"..."

All present wore expressions that defied description.

The sight of a pretty girl with white hair and a considerable bust vomiting was difficult enough to stomach, but to witness such an act from Niu Daji, a Minotaur whose body hair surpassed the length of his own hair, was truly revolting.

"What is the effect like?"

Liu Zheng inquired, suppressing his nausea.

"The closer they are, the more effective it is. If they are right next to me, it can share about half the harm,"

Niu Daji responded.

"How did you discover this?"

"Hehe, I couldn't help but bring my brothers and the others home for some fun, and then my mom beat me up,"

Niu Daji admitted sheepishly.

"What does that have to do with discovering your new ability?"

"Boss, you don't know, but our tradition is to drink cow bile together and make vows before we do anything bad,"

Niu Daji explained.

"... Alright."

Liu Zheng completely disregarded any interest in exploring the customs of these Metropolis residents.

"Give it to them to drink; I don't need any,"

he stated.

Even without the 'Blood and Flesh Rebirth' ability, his artificial body was already more resilient than Niu Daji's.

"I don't need it either,"

Panda quickly added.

As a panda with an obsession for cleanliness, it was unthinkable for it to consume anything regurgitated by a cow. In truth, even without its peculiar habit, consuming such a substance was out of the question.

"Actually, we also..."

Bai Tianshi and Luo Ping both exhibited reluctance.

"You two, don't hesitate. It might be a bit unsanitary, but it's better than losing your lives,"

Liu Zheng overruled their refusal.

Panda, being an ancient alien species safeguarded by Daoist Skills, possessed a survival instinct no less potent than Niu Daji's. However, the two, one a doctor and the other a detective, were comparatively fragile, making it more sensible for them to obediently consume the cow bile.

"Yes..."

Bai Tianshi and Luo Ping reluctantly ingested the cow bile regurgitated by Niu Daji, their expressions etched with discomfort.

With all preparations complete, the group stealthily approached the eastern side of Shangpin Mansion.

Observing the securely fastened side door, Luo Ping retrieved an object resembling a stethoscope. He placed it in his ear and pressed the instrument against the door's lock. After a brief period of listening, he took out a piece of clay, quickly shaping it into the form of a key. Following this, he produced a spray bottle, misting the interior with metal powder that solidified upon contact, thereby crafting a temporary key.

Luo Ping carefully inserted the makeshift key into the lock and turned it. With a distinct 'click,' the side door swung open.

"Not bad. Truly professional work,"

Liu Zheng commended him with a thumbs-up.

Indeed, every profession has its unique expertise. If he were to undertake such a task, he would have simply resorted to brute force and entered through the main entrance.

"Please forgive me; these are merely trivial skills,"

Luo Ping replied with modesty.

"There are no useless skills, only occasions where they are misapplied. Your lock-picking expertise is being used now to rescue people, and that is exceptionally commendable. If I were in charge of City Hall, I would undoubtedly bestow upon you a hero's award,"

Liu Zheng insisted, not allowing him to downplay his abilities.

"Can this mother and daughter truly survive?"

Luo Ping inquired.

He harbored doubts that Green Shade Culture would keep these two problematic individuals alive after annexing Red Forest Culture.

"Yes, as long as I am here,"

Liu Zheng asserted with unwavering confidence.

If he could facilitate Green Shade Culture's assimilation of Red Forest Culture, he could just as easily assist Red Forest Culture in absorbing Green Shade Culture. Should they cross him, he would obliterate both companies, allowing any interested party to claim them.

"On the day I am no longer here, the promises I've made will fall upon you to uphold,"

Liu Zheng shifted his tone, his gaze sweeping across the group.

"Boss, don't count on me for that. You know me; I'll certainly perish before you do,"

Niu Daji stated with candid amusement.

"I won't assist you in managing those complex affairs. At most, I will bring them all back to the mountains,"

Panda replied dismissively.

"I will face any danger without hesitation,"

Bai Tianshi declared with earnestness.

"I will do my very best,"

Luo Ping echoed sincerely.

"Hmm, rest assured, it won't be anytime soon. I anticipate I can still cause quite a stir for a considerable period,"

Liu Zheng expressed his satisfaction with their declarations.

Although the dispositions of these four subordinates varied, their words, at the very least, were genuine. Provided they could act as Luo Ping suggested and give their utmost effort, the gang would not likely disband quickly after his departure. He mused that they would also need to understand the possibility of his sudden return at any moment, perhaps ensuring the Delivery Gang could flourish for four generations.

"Let's proceed inside,"

Liu Zheng took the lead, the others following in his wake.

Beneath the cloak of night, the group stealthily navigated their way between the villas.

Suddenly, Luo Ping, who was at the forefront, halted, prompting an immediate stop from the rest of the party.

"It's the third villa on the right, up ahead,"

Luo Ping whispered into Liu Zheng's ear.

Liu Zheng's gaze followed the indicated direction, and indeed, a villa with a barren lawn greeted his eyes.

"Excellent. Are you all set?" he inquired, addressing the silent, nodding team behind him.

"Charge!"

Upon Liu Zheng's order, the group seamlessly transformed into four swift shadows, darting towards the villa.

Remarkably, five individuals cast only four shadows, a consequence of Luo Ping being firmly held beneath Niu Daji's arm.

"Who goes there?!"

Thanks to Panda's skillful deployment of talismans, their approach remained undetected until they reached the villa's entrance.

"Inform your superior that Red Forest Culture proposes a business arrangement," Liu Zheng announced.

"Red Forest Culture?"

The guard on duty faltered briefly, the name evidently resonating with him.

"Mixed Element Thunderclap Palm!"

Seizing the moment of his bewilderment, Panda struck, incapacitating him.

Discussions? Those could wait; subduing them came first.

"Well executed," Liu Zheng commended, swiftly following up by decapitating another guard.

Simultaneously, Bai Tianshi sent several steel needles piercing the chest of the final guard, who promptly clutched his chest and crumpled to the ground.
