Reborn as the Darling of the Delta

Page 56

After Demulan finished speaking, the doctors carrying stretchers came in one after another and helped the people onto the vehicles. Demulan then turned and left, as she had countless things to do next.

"Alright, mission accomplished, let's head back the way we came."

Inside the Blue Eagle helicopter, Rometheus, seeing that the situation below had been calmed down, ordered the pilot to return to Babel. He had no interest in working overtime with Demulan, though he knew he would bear some responsibility this time as well.

"Ugh, this is so annoying. I'll go to Longbow Valley and cause some trouble sometime."

Chapter 123 Want to run?

After driving back to her base, Audrey immediately sent a text message to Reese, asking about his and Mandel's current situation.

But seeing that there were no replies on her phone, she couldn't help but feel a little anxious. She didn't know if Reis had sent the Mandel bricks back.

"Lady Audrey, you're back. I saw on TV that you were attacked by Asara terrorists. Are you alright?"

At this moment, Audrey's butler hurriedly came out from inside and was relieved to see that Audrey was unharmed.

"Okay, park the car for me, I'm going back to my room now."

Audrey nodded and then turned and went back to her room. Now she was certain that the Mandel brick in Reis's hand was the most important thing. As for Richard (the chairman of the board of directors) questioning her later, she simply said that she was too scared to run away at the time.

Meanwhile, Rhys, whom Audrey is currently obsessed with, is running away with Mandel in his pocket, so fast that even Said can only marvel at his speed. Perhaps this is a natural talent!

"Damn it, hehehe, got it! Whew! One hundred million in hand, hahaha! Damn, that scared the hell out of me! Oh no, haven't the people behind come out yet? Never mind, let's hurry back!"

After resting briefly against a large rock, Reis prepared to run back in one go. He had previously planned to use four vehicles to deplete Hafk's bombs, so that if Hafk wanted to cause trouble, he could shift the blame to Hafk.

But just when we were almost ready, those damn GTIs came and ruined everything. Damn it, next time... really next time, I'm going to kill them.

Thinking about it, Reis realized he had made countless harsh statements, and he felt a little embarrassed. It couldn't be his fault; it must be his incompetent soldiers. Yes, that must be it.

After consoling himself for a while, Reese got up and started sprinting again.

But where he couldn't see, two pairs of eyes were watching him from the shadows.

"Xiao Hao, are you sure you can blow his head off with one shot?"

Said glanced at Zhang Hao, who was aiming at him, and after thinking for a while, decided that he should hide first. If Zhang Hao didn't kill him, he would just carry him away. Before he completely broke ties with Reis, Said didn't plan to show his face.

"It was certain before, but now it's uncertain. That guy ran too fast, he's about the same age as you, Uncle Saeed."

Zhang Hao stared speechlessly at Reis, who was running wildly below. He had thought that Said was already an expert in escaping, but Reis had once again refreshed his understanding. He was so heavy, and his strength was comparable to Uncle Deep Blue. The problem was that he was also so fast. It seemed that being brainless was his only weakness.

Reis: You little brat, who are you calling brainless? My IQ is definitely better than that Said next to you. Bah, you double standard.

Saeed: Hey! (???`?)

Even though Reis had run out of Zhang Hao's firing range, how could our vengeful Xiao Hao let him get away from the sniper position like that? He was going to fight!

He aimed directly at Reis's forehead again. Last time he was lucky and only hit his butt. Let's see which part hits this time.

Watching Reese's "European and American perky butt" sway as he ran, Zhang Hao revealed an evil smile, which terrified Said, who was watching from the side.

Saeed: Waaaaah, Hao looks so scary. ???

As danger loomed, Reis was still immersed in the pleasant mood of going back to play with that female reporter, and the danger radar that had saved him many times before did not sound an alarm.

With a "bang," Zhang Hao's M700 fired a "spiral bullet" customized by Luna, which flew rapidly toward Reis's head.

However, due to the interference of the wind and Reis's running, and under the tense gaze of Zhang Hao and Said, the spiral bullet gently entered Reis's other intact buttocks.

"Ahhhhhhh!!!! Holy crap!!!!"

Reis felt the same unforgettable pain return to the left side of his buttocks, and he was sent flying, falling face-first to the ground.

"Damn it... I'll fucking kill them, it's the GTI again... those bastards."

Reese was already red-faced from anger on the ground, and the redness on his dark face was clearly visible (just like how angry guys get their phones thrown at them by a kid with three red marks).

Knowing he couldn't just stay there and wait to die, Reis's adrenaline surged again. He glanced at the substation right in front of him, gritted his teeth, stood up again, and sprinted forward at breakneck speed.

"Oh dear, what a pity, you only hit his butt again?"

Zhang Hao shook his head in disappointment, then turned to look at Said, who was playing with the spiral bullet Luna had given him, his face filled with terror.

"Huh? What's wrong, Uncle Said? Do you have to be so surprised? This is Luna's masterpiece. She said she spent a long, long time in the lab with a physics book in her arms to develop this bullet. Do you want me to have a few of these bullets?"

Saeed refused somewhat stiffly:

"No...no need, Xiao Hao. I'm just surprised that there are bullets like this. They look like they must hurt a lot when they hit someone, right?"

Zhang Hao recalled how Luna had introduced herself to him, extracted some key points, and explained them to Said:

"It will definitely hurt. The main reason is that the spiral structure causes the bullet to remain in the enemy's body, and quite deep. It's difficult to remove later, and if there's no anesthesia when it's taken out, it could very well cause excruciating pain."

Said thought about the consequences of being shot like that and trembled with fear. This was really ruthless. It seemed that Reis would be in for a living hell when he got back. But then he thought about how Reis was the strategist of his dam, capable in both literature and martial arts, truly a great general.

Saeed: Hehe, my little Hao is awesome.

"Hey... Xiao Hao, where are you and Said right now? We've already evacuated by car and are now in Amiya Town."

At this moment, Luna's voice came through Zhang Hao's earphones. She had successfully located Zhang Hao's signal source in the car and quickly connected with him to make contact.

"Huh? Uncle Said and I are still near the Super Star Station. We just saw Reis, and I used the spiral bullet you gave me to shoot him in the butt again."

"Oh? It's a pity we couldn't just shoot him. Is it dangerous for you and Said there? Should we come pick you up?"

"No need, Sister Luna, we'll head over and join you now."

After confirming the meeting place with Luna and the others, Zhang Hao and Said headed towards the evacuation point.

Chapter 124 Retreat

After determining the meeting point, Said grabbed Zhang Hao again and started speeding away without saying a word. Zhang Hao could only think that Uncle Said's running speed in the mountains was probably something that Uncle Red Wolf couldn't keep up with even on his modified all-terrain vehicle.

Red Wolf: If you're so capable, let me and Said have a contest on flat ground, and show him what a true modification expert looks like.

A short while later, Said led Zhang Hao across the Super Star Station to an open space near Amiya Town, where a car was parked.

After the two got into the car, Terry, who was driving, told them to fasten their seatbelts because he was going to speed.

"Xiao Hao, are you and Said alright?"

After getting into the car, Mai Xiaowen leaned against Zhang Hao to check on him, and breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that Zhang Hao was unharmed.

"Hey Xiao Hao, you shot that Reis in the ass again? Well done! It's a shame you didn't just blow his head off, otherwise you would have gotten both Mandel and his dog's life."

Uluru, after hearing Zhang Hao say he had shot Reis again, excitedly started performing a boxing routine in the back of the car. However, he was immediately taught a lesson by a group of Russian teachers and students, and now he could only gleefully bump fists with Zhang Hao in his seat.

"Uncle Deep Blue, did our mission fail this time?"

Zhang Hao glanced at Shen Lan, who seemed deep in thought, and, fearing serious consequences for the mission's failure, asked nervously.

"Hmm? Oh no, no, Xiao Hao, don't worry. I was just thinking about how to argue with that higher-up later. My idea has always been to take whatever we can, as long as there are no casualties, that's good. Besides, the whole world knows that the Mandel brick was taken by Reis, so the higher-ups will probably think of other ways. Let them worry about the rest."

Said sat on the ground and began to think, then asked Deep Blue:

"It's about public opinion, public opinion about Asara. Xiao Hao and I talked about this before. Will what Reis did cause public opinion in our Asara region?"

Seeing Said's serious expression, Zoya couldn't help but complain:

"Why are you so concerned? Aren't there enough negative reports about your Asara region? Even when I was in Russia, I could still see bad news about you, like Hamk killing and robbing people. Reis isn't much better. This time, Reis openly robbed Mandel bricks, which is just adding another chapter to your negative narrative."

“Alas! (′д｀ )…彡…彡”

Saeed lowered his head sadly. It seemed that his plan to build a dam to attract more foreign tourists was going to fail. After all, no one would want to come to this chaotic, war-torn place.

“Uncle Said, so when you want to build the Asara you envision, Reiss and Hamk are two mountains standing in your way. No matter how you try to take a roundabout approach, you will inevitably have a major battle with them in the end.”

Zhang Hao comforted him, recalling how Said had previously expressed his hope to make Asara beautiful and attract more people, but as things stand, that idea was still too difficult to achieve at the moment.

"Hey! Don't worry, Lao Sai, I approve of the food there. Your braised pork is even better than what Shenlan makes... cough cough, um... it's second only to what Shenlan makes. You guys could really make a name for yourselves in the catering industry."

Roy thought of the pot of braised pork that he had enjoyed that day and was about to say that it was even better than what Shenlan made. However, Shenlan, who had been looking out the window, suddenly turned around and stared at him. Fortunately, Roy reacted quickly and changed his mind, thus saving his life.

"What's so special about that? Xiao Hao taught me all of that." ×2

The two spoke in unison, then glanced at each other before looking at Zhang Hao with perfect understanding.

"Xiao Hao, you still taught him?" ×2

Zhang Hao could only try to shrink behind Mai Xiaowen, as being stared at by these two big men was not a pleasant feeling.

"Xiao Hao, I... I thought you only taught me. ???"

Sayed looked at Zhang Hao with teary eyes, looking like he had been deceived by a scumbag.

Shen Lan, standing to the side, didn't say anything, but her eyes revealed her questioning of Zhang Hao.

Under those two sharp gazes, Zhang Hao could only manage a dry laugh and explain:

"Haha, well, I was just thinking of sharing my recipes with everyone."

As they talked, the car came to a stop at the entrance of Dam Zero after a high-speed drive by Terry.

"We've arrived, Saeed. Goodbye."

Shenlan turned away without saying anything more, simply issuing a dismissive order to leave.

"Hmph! Xiao Hao, come visit me at the dam in a few days and teach me how to cook some other dishes. Roy's idea might actually work."

Said snorted coldly at Shen Lan, who had his back to him, then got out of the car after speaking with Zhang Hao and waved goodbye to Zhang Hao and the others.

"Bye-bye! Next time I'll bring Weilong along, and remember to order lots of good dishes! He can eat even more than me!"

Saeed paused for a moment while waving, but then immediately resumed.

"Okay! But if you don't see Xiao Hao, you'll have to go catch the crocodile yourself!"

Back at the Special Operations Department, Deep Blue went straight to report the situation to his superiors, while Roy, still looking excited, shared his heroic performance on the scene with Zhang Hao.

"Hey Xiao Hao, you don't know, back in the day, your Uncle Roy was quite a fighter in the team. This time, I followed behind and as soon as I went in, I took down those Asara soldiers in front of me. There was even someone who tried to steal your Brother Wei Long's back."

As Roy spoke, he excitedly gestured and gesticulated in front of Zhang Hao, which attracted the attention of the others, who gathered around to listen to Roy "bragging."

"How could I possibly tolerate this? This guy actually dared to turn his back in front of me, Roy. This is disrespect for me, Roy—the God of War on the battlefield. I went straight over and gave him an over-the-shoulder throw, then drew my gun and finished him off."

"Bullshit, it's the one behind Wei Long, right? You just shouted one sentence, and Luna shot an arrow from behind. What over-the-shoulder throw? You're just bragging."

At this moment, Red Wolf stood up and retorted, "Are you kidding me? I saw it myself. Although Roy was indeed the first to spot it, he had just shouted 'Watch out behind you!' when Luna shot that person down with an arrow."

"Ahem, uh, maybe I misremembered, but that's alright. All I can say is, Xiao Hao, if you want to learn martial arts, don't go looking for that Red Wolf. Just go find your Uncle Roy. I'm the most versatile man in the entire Special Operations Department!"

Zhang Hao: The most versatile? Shouldn't it be me?

Chapter 125 Alliance or Not?

After everyone had made a ruckus downstairs for a while, Zhang Hao and the others' stomachs started growling with hunger. Zhang Hao realized that Shen Lan probably wouldn't have time to cook for everyone for the time being.

Zhang Hao understood that this was the time to showcase his culinary skills.

"What! Xiao Hao, you're cooking? Great!" ×2

When Wei Long and Luo Yi saw that they could enjoy Xiao Hao's cooking, they happily hugged each other.

Luna: Weilong is from Sichuan, right?

Mai Xiaowen: Gay!

Zoya: Disgusting. (Mai Xiaowen glanced at it and then shrank back.)

"What are you all looking at? It was just a hug, what's the big deal?"

"Wei Long said nonchalantly, while Roy seemed to have thought of something. He suddenly shouted and ran behind Red Wolf, looking at Wei Long. But after a few seconds, he shouted again and slipped behind the sofa to hide.

"Two hooligans, perverts."

Dragon/Red Wolf: Hardened, fists hardened. ___*( ￣皿￣)/#____

"Alright, stop arguing. It's getting late, and I don't have time to cook you a big meal. How about I make you some fried rice with the leftover rice from yesterday, and boil some dumplings too?"

Zhang Hao clapped his hands to stop a tragic incident involving Roy, and then shared the lunch menu he had come up with with everyone.

Everyone said they had no problem.

Mai Xiaowen/Zoya/Luna: I like anything Xiaohao makes. (???`?)

Terry/Wyvern/Red Wolf: We're not picky eaters, as long as we're full, that's fine. Besides, Xiao Hao's cooking skills are undeniable. q(≧▽≦q)

Uluru/Roy: We really wanted to say something, but then we thought we'd definitely get beaten up, so we decided to keep quiet. {{{(＞_＜)}}}

After seeing that no one had any objections, Zhang Hao took off his gear, put on his favorite oversized dark blue apron, and headed to the kitchen. Of course, a group of people watched the adorable Zhang Hao walk in with "kind" expressions.
