Free Web NovelChapter 2414: Chapter 2478: Kill Order
Green Mouse didn’t say it out loud. He still chose to stay loyal to Noah’s Ark, of course, but in Li Yifei’s eyes, Green Mouse probably felt he’d already done too many things that went against the Heavenly Path, that heaven wouldn’t tolerate him, that early death or late death, he had to die anyway. So Li Yifei simply followed Green Mouse’s wish and killed him.
Anyway, people like this... one less alive is one less scourge. With that thought, Li Yifei felt a lot lighter.
After taking care of Green Mouse, Li Yifei searched the room and actually found some documents—information on the three experimental drugs. These were the things that hadn’t had time to be moved or destroyed, and Li Yifei just happened to show up.
It was also thanks to him not resting and coming straight in, otherwise these documents would have been destroyed too. freewёbnoνel.com
Finding a backpack, Li Yifei stuffed the papers inside. Just as he was about to leave, his eyes fell on a photo. It was Green Mouse and a child, and not far away a woman was walking over with a tray in her hands, while Green Mouse was reaching out and beckoning to her.
The daughter wasn’t pretty—could even be called very plain. The kid was too young to tell if she’d grow up good-looking or not. Green Mouse himself seemed fairly young in the photo, not as ugly as he’d looked just now.
So he’d once had a happy family too. Li Yifei picked up the photo, glanced at it twice, then turned it over. On the back were a few lines: "My family’s blood debt has been avenged. This life I sell to Captain. I have no other wishes in this life, only that they can live better in heaven."
No wonder when he killed him just now, Green Mouse had that look of relief on his face. Li Yifei rubbed his fingers together and a tongue of flame jumped out, lighting the photo. Green Mouse was dead; the photo might as well be destroyed too.
When Li Yifei came out, he was discovered. Fighting sounds had come from Green Mouse’s place, so of course people would come to check, they just hadn’t dared rush in. Li Yifei walked out and ran right into them.
Nothing to talk about—he just killed his way out.
Over ten minutes later, Li Yifei linked up with the Saintess who’d come to pick him up. There weren’t many pursuers behind them; they’d been cowed by Li Yifei’s ferocity and strength. Once they saw Li Yifei escape, they didn’t chase any further.
"How is it?" the Saintess asked.
"Got some stuff. As for the people and things inside, I think we can call in a remote bombing now!" Li Yifei said, making a bomb-dropping gesture. The Saintess nodded, took out her phone, and called in the prearranged missile strike.
When the two of them had driven more than ten kilometers away, a violent explosion suddenly boomed from behind. They turned their heads and saw a black cloud billowing up from the mountains in the distance. The explosions rolled continuously, the cloud rising higher and higher, and the people and things inside were all annihilated by human hands.
Who knew if anyone managed to escape? There would be people going in later to clean up the site; that was no longer Li Yifei and the Saintess’s concern.
On the island, the more Green Dragon thought about it, the more uneasy he became. He’d already lost three top experts. These three, even within Noah’s Ark, were a powerful force, yet they’d died at the hands of Li Yifei and the Saintess.
At this point, his hatred toward those two had reached its peak, so after thinking it over, he decided he had to call Green Mouse and warn him again.
Too bad the call never went through, because Green Mouse was already dead, and the entire base had been turned into rubble under several missiles dropped by fighter jets dispatched by the Holy War Organization.
After reporting their results separately, Li Yifei and the Saintess came to a major city in South Africa—Port Elizabeth. The two of them sorted through the documents and were both shocked. The papers didn’t just contain data from this base, but also some data from that previous base they had destroyed.
The so‑called number of "seeds" listed... had actually exceeded five digits, and over the years more than six digits’ worth of seeds had already been used up. Faced with this number, Li Yifei and the Saintess felt both furious and somewhat powerless.
No matter how those seeds were obtained, they were all dead now. Up to this moment, only a few seeds had escaped; all the rest had died. Thinking of those piles of bones beneath the sea around the island, Li Yifei and the Saintess both felt a chill in their hearts.
What kind of organization is this, that they actually use living people to...
"Dear, let’s destroy these documents," the Saintess said, holding Li Yifei’s hand.
Li Yifei hesitated, then nodded. "Alright, destroy them. This kind of data, these experimental records—if they don’t have to circulate, then they must not circulate, or some bastard will get ideas and try to replicate the experiments."
Frankly, neither Li Yifei nor the Saintess had much faith in the organizations behind them. When it comes to human lives versus a drug that can create top fighters, it’s hard for anyone not to be tempted. In the eyes of politicians, the life and death of ordinary people is just a statistic; they won’t care too much. Besides, they can use death-row inmates, war criminals, illegal immigrants, and so on. In short, there are plenty of ways to obtain seeds, and this detailed data could help them quickly copy the labs and the related drugs.
Too dangerous. For any crazed politician, these documents are the ultimate temptation. Imagine being able to mass-produce super fighters, build a super army—throw countless Li Yifeis into local wars. That would be a force capable of crushing everything.
Knowing all this, as soon as the Saintess suggested it, Li Yifei agreed right away. The two of them spent two hours completely destroying all the documents. Of course, just because they destroyed their copies didn’t mean the data no longer existed. Maybe other Noah’s Ark bases still had them, maybe only HQ had them, and there was a tiny chance the Noah’s Ark Organization only had this one set.
That was obviously impossible. So in that moment, the Saintess and Li Yifei both decided that the two of them would see this thing through to the end. They had to find all of the data and wipe it out. They could not allow something like this Pandora’s Magic Box to exist in the world.
Green Dragon went berserk. He made several calls and no one picked up, and by the end the line simply wouldn’t connect; it showed as powered off. Only then did he realize something was wrong and immediately sent people to investigate. It didn’t take long for his men to report what had happened at the South Africa base, and Green Dragon smashed his phone on the spot.
The Captain had just warned him about some things, and only a few hours later, the base under Green Mouse’s command had been taken out by Li Yifei and the Saintess again. As for the missile strike afterward... that was a later matter.
Huff—Green Dragon took a long time to calm down. He was still viciously muttering Li Yifei and the Saintess’s names under his breath, swearing he’d tear them to pieces.
That was only natural. The Captain wouldn’t personally manage Noah’s Ark Organization’s affairs. Part of that work was handed to Green Dragon, and the artificial-warrior project was specifically entrusted to him. Now two bases in a row had been destroyed, and most of the earlier research results... had gone up in smoke. Only the data remained; the researchers, test subjects, and experimental equipment had all been wiped out. How could he not hate Li Yifei? At the same time, of the Twelve Divine Beasts of Noah’s Ark Organization, four had died in a single day—one-third of their combat strength was gone.
All this in just one day, in fact only a few hours. Green Dragon didn’t even dare imagine how the Captain would react when he learned of it—one-third of the subordinates he’d painstakingly cultivated, gone just like that...
Once he’d calmed down a bit, Green Dragon hurried to report. After finishing his nervous report, he immediately dropped to his knees, waiting for the Captain’s wrath. But after waiting a while, the Captain still didn’t speak. Green Dragon, puzzled, raised his head to look and saw that not only was the Captain not scowling, he even had a faint smile on his face—though it was a strange smile. Green Dragon had no idea what he was smiling at.
"Get up," the Captain said.
Green Dragon was still terrified. He hesitated before slowly getting up and cautiously asked, "Captain, about this matter..."
"Issue a Kill Order. If the two of them can still survive, then that’s their luck," the Captain said.
Green Dragon’s heart leapt with joy. "Captain, I’ll definitely lead the team myself to hunt them down!"
"You can deploy anyone you want, but if you fail, don’t bother coming back," the Captain said, his tone a touch heavier.
Green Dragon’s heart gave a jolt, but he still answered at once, "Rest assured, Captain, I will complete the mission and execute those two who dared provoke us."
Task in hand, Green Dragon immediately returned and issued an internal summons within the Noah’s Ark Organization. This summons was the highest-level recall, targeting the organization’s top experts. After it was sent out, all qualified personnel were required to report in to the organization.
They didn’t have to return to HQ, but they had to file their status. After the tally, Green Dragon would issue the Kill Order.
This Kill Order... was the first time Noah’s Ark Organization had ever used it since it was created. Even when they’d wanted certain people dead before, Noah’s Ark had never needed to use something like a Kill Order.
So a day later, Noah’s Ark Organization issued a directive. Those at HQ, those at other sub‑bases, and the hidden powerhouses scattered across the world under various identities all received the Kill Order from Noah’s Ark Organization.
Once the Kill Order came out, it showed Noah’s Ark Organization’s determination to kill Li Yifei and the Saintess.
Of course, the two people involved knew nothing about this yet. After destroying the documents, they didn’t leave right away, but instead spent a day sightseeing. The Saintess accompanied Li Yifei to Congo to see the two generals. By now, they’d seized a large territory. With Li Yifei and the forces behind him providing covert support, the two generals had both weapons and money, so their fight was going extremely well.
Li Yifei just happened to be passing by to take a look; he wasn’t planning to intervene too much. On the surface, the current international situation was still fairly peaceful. The big powers looked friendly, but in the shadows they were constantly clashing. A major war might not break out, but local conflicts would keep flaring up. Li Yifei had pushed Bare-ass General and General Lion to expand their turf, and that was well within acceptable limits.
