Chapter 74: Conflict on the Street

In Li Yexing's eyes, Kanan Mafar is not a problem at all.

What he's really interested in now are the rumors Geiger mentioned about witchcraft and the fanatical soldiers who are like asking for death.

Based on his understanding of the locals, although they may be foolish, violent, and beast-like, they cannot possibly behave as fanatically as the rumors suggest in war. According to Geiger's description, these people seem to be more like walking into a meat grinder than fighting.

However, if Tricell Pharmaceutical is involved, there may be something significant behind this.

Thinking carefully, the escalation of conflicts between the Malvia Government Forces and the Rebel Forces and Tricell Pharmaceutical's provision of humanitarian medical aid to the area happened at almost the same time.

Li Yexing couldn't help but wonder if Tricell Pharmaceutical had done something to the Government Forces, such as infecting them with B.O.W. like in Resident Evil 6 under the guise of providing nutritional supplements.

However, based on his observations during the checkpoint conflict, those soldiers seemed no different from normal people. Moreover, if the Government Forces were indeed heavily infected with some kind of B.O.W., how could the Rebel Forces fight them back and forth?

Unless Tricell Pharmaceutical is supporting both the Government Forces and the Rebel Forces, which is too far-fetched and impossible.

He couldn't figure out the purpose of doing this. He must be overthinking it.

With that in mind, Li Yexing breathed a sigh of relief and planned his next steps in his mind. He would first familiarize himself with the local environment and then communicate with Tricell Pharmaceutical. He could attract the lone wolf by deliberately showing loopholes and then launching a thunderous attack to take her down in one fell swoop.

As the evening approached, with nothing else to do, Li Yexing lit a cigarette and cooked canned food over a small stove with two girls in the yard.

"Tonight, I'm going out to take a look around and see what's going on around here. You two stay here and watch our equipment," Li Yexing said to Rita and Lilith while eating canned meat.

"Lilith is coming with you," Lilith, who was also eating canned food, said, raising her head.

"Master, I also think it's safer for us to go with you," Rita agreed.

"No need, back when I was on my own, I was still fine and dandy, didn't I?" Li Yexing waved his hand and said, "Besides, Malvia is very discriminatory against non-black people. A decade ago, there was even a massacre against white people here. I'm okay on my own, but with both of you, it could easily lead to trouble."

Rita seemed like she wanted to say something, but she could sense Li Yexing's resolute attitude, so she gave up. Understanding and empathizing with the master's thoughts are also essential skills for a perfect maid.

After finishing the canned food, Li Yexing smoked and checked the magazine of his handgun.

Suddenly, he heard Rita's voice in his ear.

"Master, please have some tea."

Li Yexing turned his head and was surprised to see Rita standing next to him, holding a metal tray with two bone china cups of red tea.

"You brought the cups too?" Li Yexing asked in amazement.

"Being able to prepare hot tea for the master anytime and anywhere is also an essential skill for a perfect maid," the beautiful maid replied with an elegant smile, bowing slightly.

Li Yexing took the cups from the tray and took a sip of the tea, feeling invigorated.

Looking up at the African moon, Li Yexing put on his coat, concealed his handgun at his waist, took a few extra magazines, and set off.

The base was located in a remote area, and Li Yexing walked for more than ten minutes before arriving at a nearby small town.

Although it was called a small town, there were no decent buildings, mostly just cottages.

Occasionally, there were a few two or three-story buildings, and groups of black people gathered together on the dirt road, talking about something. Their eyes occasionally glanced at Li Yexing as he passed by.

To be honest, he didn't like it here. The architecture was too chaotic, and it was difficult to plan routes. Also, he couldn't speak the language, so he couldn't gather information from the locals.

Unconsciously, he had been walking around for half an hour, waving away several black people who wanted to strike up a conversation.

"That's enough, it's time to go back..." Li Yexing muttered to himself.

Just as Li Yexing was preparing to return, gunshots suddenly rang out in the vicinity. At first, the sound was not very loud, but as time passed, the gunfire became increasingly intense.

Local black residents ran into nearby houses for safety.

Li Yexing instinctively reached for his gun but noticed several beat-up jeeps loaded with black men heading toward the gunfire. The jeeps passed him by, each carrying black men armed with AK-47s and looking serious. It appeared that the Rebel Forces were attacking the Government Forces that occupying the area.

Li Yexing frowned and prepared to quickly return to his base, but a heavily cloaked black man suddenly stood up from the side of the street. He pulled out a glass bottle from behind his back, lit it on fire, and threw it at the first jeep.

As the bottle shattered, the people on the jeep immediately caught fire, and the black men screamed as they fell off the jeep and rolled on the ground. The attacker laughed strangely and lit another Molotov cocktail. The following jeeps immediately stopped, and the black men in the vehicles angrily fired at the attacker.

The bullets hit the bottle in the attacker's hand, and alcohol splashed all over him. He instantly turned into a burning man, screamed, and rushed toward the stopped jeep. The black men on the jeeps frantically fired at the burning attacker, who finally fell to the ground after taking multiple shots.

Although the attacker was already dead, the black men continued shooting at the body as if they were trying to beat a dead horse.

However, this was not what surprised Li Yexing the most.

The black soldiers who had fallen off the truck due to burns were now convulsing on the ground as if having a seizure. The black men from the following convoy shouted loudly and then jumped out of their cars one after another, firing wildly at their companions' burning bodies until everyone was lying motionless on the ground.

Li Yexing was stunned.

Everything that was happening in front of him was beyond his comprehension.

How could they shoot their own people so brutally?

Was it a local custom?

Also, the people who were shot, including the attacker who had just thrown a Molotov cocktail, were too tough. They could still convulse even after being hit by several bullets.

Just as Li Yexing was amazed by what he was seeing, a group of heavily cloaked black men suddenly rushed out from the other end of the street. They were carrying AK-47s and yelling as they fired indiscriminately, marching towards the Government Forces convoy on the dirt road.

When they saw the convoy, they immediately let out a wild roar like monkeys and charged toward them while firing their guns.

Li Yexing immediately hid behind a building.

The black men next to the convoy used the jeeps as cover, shouting and launching a counter-attack against the Rebels on the opposite side. They raised their AK-47s high and held their triggers with one hand while covering their ears with the other.

Li Yexing was ashamed of the way these Government soldiers held their guns.

What kind of military education did they have? That was embarrassing!

Just as Li Yexing was about to find a way to retreat from the battlefield, he heard a familiar whistling sound in his ears. The next second, a rocket fired by the Rebels hit the leading jeep.

The jeep flew up into the air along with a huge fireball and crashed onto the jeep behind it. An unsuspecting black man was instantly knocked to the ground, with a large chunk of his head missing.

However, the next second, this black uncle with almost a quarter of his brain missing stood up immediately. He was still burning with flames, but he didn't seem to notice it. His blood vessels bulged on his neck, and blood was flowing from his nose and eyes.

However, he had an excited and crazy smile on his face; he howled as he fired at the approaching Rebel Forces.

Li Yexing furrowed his brow at the scene in front of him.

He now had reason to believe that Tricell Pharmaceutical might have done something to these Government soldiers...
