Chapter 1735 - 948: Bye-bye, I’m Going to Ride an Airplane_2

"baibai~ I want to ride a plane~~"

Li Yu, deep in thought, heard Li Ke’ai’s sweet little voice, as if his heart was melting.

"Hey! Call me uncle one more time." Without thinking further, Li Yu laughed and played the airplane game with Li Ke’ai.

"┏(＾0＾)┛ Bye Bye~"

"Hahahahaha." Li Yu laughed heartily.

He steadily held Li Ke’ai and swayed her side to side.

Li Ke’ai laughed loudly in the air, her childish and crisp voice lightening up one’s mood.

While swaying, Li Ke’ai unknowingly closed her eyes; under the light, her long eyelashes and rosy little face were as smooth as porcelain.

Li Yu carefully handed Li Ke’ai to Li Hang, softly saying, "Take her to bed, she seems asleep."

Li Hang took Li Ke’ai, resting her little head on his shoulder, while the other hand securely supported her little bottom, saying to Li Yu:

"Bro, I’ll head down then."

Li Yu said nothing, just nodded with a smile.

Watching Li Hang take Li Ke’ai downstairs, Li Yu reflected nostalgically; Li Ke’ai is already over a year old, in a few months she’ll be two.

Time flies so fast!

...

Southern Paradise.

The night before, Scar and his core followers, dozens of people, were killed, shaking the entire Southern Paradise.

After a day’s fermentation, the whole Southern Paradise knew Scar intended to rebel, with his past offenses like exploiting the energy warehouse all listed out.

Suddenly, everyone in Southern Paradise was buzzing in discussion.

"Old Feng from the energy warehouse, every time I needed gas, he’d make me give him benefits; now someone finally handled him. Serves him right!"

"Have you heard? Feng Wei was let go by Scar; I always said they were in cahoots."

"Don’t mention that jinx; Feng Wei’s reputation in our Southern Paradise, as if you didn’t know."

"But you think taking down such a big shot like Scar in one go, Zhou Xing must have acted under Mr. Hu’s orders."

"Do you even need to ask? Without Mr. Hu’s orders, do you think Zhou Xing would dare to do this? I noticed that night Captain Zhang at the guard station locked down the City Gate, he must’ve known too."

"Hey, did you just see it? Our Southern Paradise’s number three, Madman went to Mr. Hu’s side; wonder what’ll happen."

"Whatever happens, with Scar dead, Southern Paradise is entirely under Mr. Hu’s control."

"Isn’t that quite good? If I were Mr. Hu, would I allow Scar to cause such trouble? Properly stick to being second in command, yet he wanted disorder; if he’d succeeded, I’d have left Southern Paradise for sure."

"Agreed, I admire Mr. Hu; if he wasn’t here, who knows how chaotic Southern Paradise would be."

.....

Meanwhile.

On the balcony where Mr. Hu was, sat a man with one crippled leg.

This man was Madman.

Madman leaned his cane against the table, casually took one of Mr. Hu’s cigars from the tabletop.

Click——

Lighting the cigar with a lighter, Madman took two deep puffs, then exhaled.

"Big brother, are the things Scar did really true?"

Madman asked frankly, exhaling a breath of thick smoke.

He was half-disabled, one leg crushed in a vehicle rollover during a mission.

Going forward, in Southern Paradise he took on idle duties, most of his power handed over to Mr. Hu, keeping only his most loyal platoon.

Currently at the base, mainly responsible for planting tasks.

He dared to ask directly, because he wasn’t worried; he never had significant ambition, or else he wouldn’t have handed all his people to Mr. Hu after getting injured.

Mr. Hu frowned, nodded and said: "It’s true, to be honest, before that day, I talked with Scar, gave him a chance, but didn’t expect he’d want to move against me."

After saying this, he looked aggrieved and angry.

"Damn Scar, I treated him well, considered him a brother, yet he wanted me dead; remember Ma Dong’s daughter? Scar used Ma Dong’s daughter as a bargaining chip, bribed people around me, it was that kid A Biao. He was spying on me..."

Mr. Hu felt extremely distressed, reminiscing the times he, Madman, and Ma Dong together built Southern Paradise from scratch.

During the toughest times, they went through them together.

Unthinkably, due to power and desire, they fought each other viciously.

Madman self-mockingly said:

"Ma Dong died in battle, and now Scar’s gone too, just us two left."

Mr. Hu felt a bit of sorrow hearing this.

Spoke: "Yeah, just us two left."

Madman looked at Mr. Hu, felt no fear; back then, when his leg was injured, his son died saving him from a Zombie bite, leaving him little worldly attachment.

After a while.

Madman suddenly said: "I’ve talked to Tang Ji, he’ll merge into the core Combat Battalion later, directly under your command."

Tang Ji was Madman’s only squad, comprised of 60 people; Tang Ji was considered a prominent figure even within Southern Paradise, his team had remarkable fighting ability.

Mr. Hu furrowed his brows, felt Madman was overthinking, about to speak.

Madman waved his hand, continued saying: "Don’t persuade me, I’ve already talked to Tang Ji; you can break them up and distribute them among teams later if you want, but Tang Ji has some ability, you can let him be a small group leader."
