58: Chapter 36: Exemption and Fall (Part 3)

“Who are you going to send?

You?

Or you?

Didn’t you hear what I said?

Don’t make me repeat myself: throw everything away except for food and water; not even a change of clothes is allowed.

All you’re carrying is ammunition.” Tang Zheng looked at the indecisive Pang Meiqin and the side-tracking Zhou Zhou with rising frustration, “Nobody cares about your temper tantrums right now—go ahead and be angry if you want, it’s better than risking our lives.”

The stewardesses seemed upset, but they dared not argue.

Selecting only the most valuable pieces of jewelry, they discarded the rest.

“Let it go, Sister Meiqin, Sister Zhou, look at Sister Xin Lan, Sister Qin Yan and Tang Zheng and Lin Weiguo.

They barely have any belongings.” Bai Guo didn’t want them getting mad at Tang Zheng and pointed out Li Xinlan, who carried only two travel bags.

Recognizing the bags as Tang Zheng’s, the stewardesses knew that aside from the necessary food, water, and some emergency supplies, they were filled with ammunition and not a single valuable item.

None of them had considered searching the hotel suites for money or other valuable objects over the past few days, but had been solely focused on their survival.

“Suddenly, I feel like I’ve been a joke.” Pang Meiqin pursed her lips and looked saddened, “What use are valuable items if we can’t bring them back with us?”

“Little Tang, are you going to abandon them?

Do you think that they can survive with those selfish cowards Zhao Jingye, Bald Man and Kang Songde, just the three of them?

Could Cheng Chen and the others survive?” Qin Yan looked straight into Tang Zheng’s eyes and said firmly, “I don’t care about Zhao Jingye’s fate, but I must inform Cheng Chen and the others.”

“If those grown men couldn’t make it back, then there’s no need for them to return.

We’re not babysitters, and you’re not going either.” Tang Zheng was frustrated, and his temper slipped out, venting at Qin Yan, “Do you owe them something?

I’ve already done enough by trying to ensure we all survive.

Yet, Han Li, the high school student, and Hu Qiong are dead.

Did you know Yang Bin trusted me?

And yet, he died, and I couldn’t do anything—not even able to give him a gravestone.”

Tang Zheng’s face contorted with frustration over his own incompetence, gentility, and persistent hesitation.

Everyone in the living room fell silent, as they could hear the remorse in the voice of this kind-hearted young man and the sincerity in his dark eyes.

He sincerely wanted to ensure everyone made it out alive!

“Tang, there’s no need to blame yourself.

You’ve done a good job,” Li Xinlan saw the self-blaming expression on Tang Zheng’s face and the tears in the corner of his eyes, and suddenly felt heartbroken.

Why should he bear such pressure?

In this world, no one owes anyone anything.

“Qin Yan, do you still not understand?

I won’t risk the lives of those who trust me for some irrelevant people.

The only thing I want and need to do right now is to make sure all of you go back safely,” Tang Zheng let out his frustrations and quickly calmed himself down.

“I’m sorry, I lost my cool just now.”

“I’m sorry.” Qin Yan knew about Tang Zheng’s kindness, which was obvious from his actions.

But she had her own difficulties – she felt that what she was about to say might be cruel, but she had to say it, “Tang Zheng, you’re right.

I do owe them—at least these ten flight attendants and all the crew members of the A380 flight, including the 525 passengers.”

After Qin Yan said that, everyone’s eyes, including Li Xinlan, Pang Meiqin, Zhou Zhou, and even the slightly slow-witted Bai Guo focused on her, realizing that things were not favorable.

Bai Guo’s lips moved a few times, but she didn’t say anything.

“On the day of the flight, Captain Zhang was not feeling well.

I intended to let him rest, but for the sake of making extra money for his child’s milk powder, he wanted to do overtime and begged me.

And you know how it ended.” Qin Yan gave a bitter smile, anticipating slanders or even assaults from Pang Meiqin and the other stewardesses.

“You…” Pang Meiqin was furious, but before she could take a step forward, she was held back by Li Xinlan.

Bai Guo snapped out of her daze and stood in front of Qin Yan as a shield while Zhou Zhou didn’t know what to do and looked at Tang Zheng.

“So that’s what happened.

No wonder you reacted the way you did when Han Li died that day.” Tang Zheng, who had calmed down, regained his composure and began to think about how to get out of the current predicament.

“So, Little Tang, I’ve already harmed them once, I can’t do it a second time.

I can go and tell them myself, but the only one who’s capable of taking everyone back safely is you.” The strong Qin Yan finally broke down crying.

She couldn’t bear to watch Cheng Chen and the others die.

“The situation might not be as dire as you imagine.

Let’s go to the security room first,” Lin Weiguo intervened.

“Qin Yan, it would be best if you cooled down first before deciding.”

“I am calm.” Qin Yan looked straight at Tang Zheng, her beacon of hope.

She knew that Lin Weiguo was trying to comfort her, but anyone with some judgment could see how dangerous their current situation was.

“First, we’ll take everyone safely to the security room and set up a defense line.

Regardless if we can reach them through the walkie-talkie, we go to the Chairman’s room afterward,” Tang Zheng made a decision and immediately took action.

“No more time-wasting!

Every second delayed could cost lives.

Go, I’ll lead the way.”

“No, it’s my turn this time.” Lin Weiguo stopped Tang Zheng, gazing at him firmly, “I can’t always let you take the risks.”

Tang Zheng’s courage and leadership indeed inspired admiration and respect.

Lin Weiguo believed that only such a person was capable of leading a team.

After appreciating Tang’s qualities, he felt he had made the right choice in considering him a friend.

However, Lin was also a loyal and just man who believed that sincerity should be reciprocated in the same way.

“No, it’s too dangerous without the protective clothing.

If we run into Shadow Barbie, you definitely won’t be able to hide.” Tang Zheng frowned as Lin Weiguo grasped his arm tightly, leaving him no room to break free.

This resistant gesture quickly made Tang Zheng understand that Lin Weiguo was determined to act as a pioneer.

“Little Tang, I don’t think it’s necessary for us to do this now.” Although he said so, Lin Weiguo was still waiting for their group leader’s response.

If he refused, Lin wouldn’t use his ability.

“Agreed.

Let’s see the power of the Southern Sword.” Tang Zheng nodded without any hesitation.

He knew what Lin Weiguo was referring to—the secret of the seed.

As the ability couldn’t be kept a secret for long in the coming survival journey, they might as well use it earlier for more protection and security.

Most importantly, apart from Zhao Jingye and Kang Songde, he never planned to hide this secret from the group.

“Didn’t you agree too quickly?

I guess, you’ve planned to disclose it for a long time, haven’t you?” When Lin Weiguo thought of Tang Zheng’s good-natured character, he was convinced he was correct.

He then squatted down and punched the floor.
