Top-Tier Superpower Student-Chapter 685 - 657: Good People Don’t Live Long
Lin Tian had wanted to inquire something from Huomei, but ultimately, it was fruitless. He guessed that Huomei wouldn't be limited to just three people, and these three must have been just one group.
Seeing the loyalty of Huomei, if possible, Lin Tian would have liked to turn enemies into friends, but given their readiness to die, this was probably impossible.
They could never betray the Ouyang Family, which meant they and Lin Tian could only fight to the death.
"Ah...!"
Lin Tian sighed deeply, faced with this situation, he was helpless; he did not want to kill Huomei, but to survive, he had no choice but to kill!
Wang Ying conducted a solemn burial for the three from Huomei. Lin Tian personally went to offer his condolences; they were men of loyalty, and they deserved this from Lin Tian.
As for the man in the leather jacket, he was thrown directly to the dogs for being lecherous and fearing death; he did not deserve to be buried with Huomei.
Afterwards, Lin Tian and others returned to the apartment. Even though they had eliminated the threat of Huomei in Wu'an City, his mood was still very heavy.
At that moment, Jiang Hui hurried over, looking disheveled and anxious.
"What happened?" Lin Tian sensed something bad had occurred and asked anxiously.
"Big Brother, there's been an incident. Just now, in the square, someone strapped with bombs carried out a suicide attack, killing over twenty civilians,"
After speaking, Jiang Hui took out a USB drive that recorded the scene.
What?
A suicide terrorist attack, isn't that an act of terrorists?
How could Wu'an City possibly suffer a suicide terrorist attack?
Lin Tian immediately thought of the Li Family.
Inserting the USB into the computer, Lin Tian saw the person.
Light-footed and quick in action, he didn't hesitate at all, definitely a trained figure.
He then rushed into the crowded area, detonating the bomb before anyone could realize what was happening, instantly killing those nearby.
"Damn it!"
Lin Tian was furious, slamming his fist hard on the table, his whole body radiating a lethal aura.
The Li Family was despicable, shameless, detestable, and utterly disgraceful.
He simply couldn't describe the Li Family with any Chinese adjectives anymore.
Unable to directly target Lin Tian and his family, the Li Family shifted their focus to the innocent civilians of Wu'an City, forcing Lin Tian to take action.
Are the lives of these people considered worthless?
Does the Li Family not care at all?
Indiscriminate killing, utterly despicable and disgraceful.
Immediately after, Lin Tian ordered all the soldiers guarding in the bunkers to be 120% vigilant, to closely guard every corner of Wu'an City. Simultaneously, he called Huo Shaotian, Jian Cangsheng, Yue Lei, Chen Long, and Wang Hai, asking them to rush over to support Wu'an City.
They promised to deploy members from the sect and hurry over.
Lin Tian personally patrolled Wu'an City. Any suspicious person encountered was to be arrested immediately; better to arrest mistakenly than to let one go.
In an afternoon, everyone was on high alert and managed to detain fourteen people. Sadly, perhaps because everyone was too nervous, these fourteen were all innocents.
Fortunately, nothing else happened that afternoon. By the evening, Huo Shaotian and others brought sect powerhouses to support Lin Tian.
At night, they could not let their guard down and took turns guarding Wu'an City.
But it was dark, and Wu'an City was so big, Lin Tian's manpower was limited; they ultimately couldn't cover everything.
At 3 a.m., the tense night was shattered by dozens of loud explosions. Dozens of bombs, planned in advance, exploded in various directions across Wu'an City.
The explosions' white light illuminated the sky, creating beams of deathly light.
Buildings collapsed, countless people rushed out, screaming desperately. This night in Wu'an City became a night of death.
Lin Tian stood on high ground, looking around, his fists clenched tight. He was very angry, extremely angry.
"Li! Family!"
He roared these two words, his eyes filled with killing intent.
The Li Family's strategy had worked; they had successfully enraged Lin Tian.
An hour later, Wang Ying tallied the casualties and damage.
There were thirty-two explosions, sixteen residential blocks demolished, six shops destroyed, two labs leveled to the ground, resulting in five hundred twenty-seven deaths and one thousand three hundred sixty-eight injuries, with direct and indirect losses amounting to four billion.
Money, Lin Tian didn't care about.
Houses, he didn't care about either.
What he cared about were lives; the Li Family, to take revenge on him, had directly caused nearly two thousand innocent civilians to be killed or injured, a bloody fact that made Lin Tian very angry.
When Lin Tian instructed Wang Yuan to smash the Li Family's properties, he specifically told Wang Yuan not to harm people. But the Li Family's purpose was to kill, and the victims were innocent civilians.
Clutching his fists, he shouted, "Call the brothers up, let's have a big meal first. At dawn, follow me to attack the Li Family."
"The casualties tonight are all on my head, Lin Tian. I will rebuild their homes, bury the dead, and take full responsibility for all the consequences caused by this explosion."
"Yes."
Wang Ying nodded and immediately went to prepare.
Lin Tian returned to the apartment, furiously lying down on the bed, his anger reaching the sky.
He Qianqian and Bu Mengting didn't dare disturb Lin Tian and ran to the kitchen to cook for him.
Afterward, Jian Cangsheng and Huo Shaotian hurried over to find Lin Tian.
Jian Cangsheng said, "The Li Family dared to do this because they must have found helpers. They couldn't break in, so they used such despicable means to force you out. The Li Family definitely has a bigger ambush waiting for you. Attacking the Li Family now would fall right into their trap."
Lin Tian angrily said, "Then what can I do, just let the Li Family slaughter the people? Tomorrow, I will gather everyone, all 400 experts. You cover the rear, and I'll go in first. I want to see what kind of waves the Li Family can still make!"
He was truly furious. He knew that the Li Family definitely had an ambush. Attacking the Li Family now was absolutely not the best strategy.
But he really couldn't stand it. Countless people died because of him. Tomorrow, he would charge into the Li Family's residence alone first to scout the way for others. By now, the Li Family was at the end of its rope, and Lin Tian did not believe that the Li Family still had any tricks left.
Originally, Lin Tian gradually eroded the Li Family's enterprises, pressing the Li Family even further.
But who could have expected that the Li Family would be so ruthless as to directly kill people?
So now the situation was reversed; it wasn't Lin Tian pressing the Li Family, but the Li Family pressing Lin Tian.
After all, Lin Tian wasn't as shameless as the Li Family, which is why the current situation had arisen.
For Lin Tian to kill people, to kill those innocent civilians, he couldn't do it.
This is also why the saying goes, 'Good people don't live long, while the wicked live on.'"
Good people act with their own bottom lines, morals, so sometimes, they are bound and shackled by morality.
But the wicked act without any rules, human kindness. Before achieving their goals, they are unscrupulous, just like the Li Family committing such utterly conscienceless acts.
Jian Cangsheng, Huo Shaotian, and the others all remained silent. The death of nearly two thousand innocent people overnight had infuriated them too.
They chorused, "Big brother, tomorrow we will lead the masters from our sect to join you in rushing into the Li Family's estate to scout the way. We are brothers, and we will face life and death together."
Lin Tian turned around, his eyes moist, and extended a hand, saying, "Good brothers!"
"Good brothers!"
"Good brothers!"
..., ...
At five o'clock in the morning, the numerous experts, well-fed and full, roared and charged toward the Li Family's estate.
Lin Tian understood the principle of cutting the weeds to get rid of the roots. He specifically instructed the mayor to take good care of He Qianqian and the others, to which he agreed wholeheartedly.
However, they had not yet left Wu'an City when suddenly, there was a dense burst of gunfire nearby.
"Let's go have a look!" Lin Tian said.
Everyone quickly turned their heads and rushed towards the direction of the gunfire.
The ground was in disarray, littered with bodies, at least a hundred of them.
They were all ordinary people, but now, they had been mercilessly slaughtered by a group!
Just now, a group had come, including a few experts who quickly took down the nearby bunker's soldiers, then started a killing spree on the road. The nearby soldiers rushed over, fired their guns, and shot a few people dead, but most of the attackers had escaped.
"Animals, chase!"
Lin Tian angrily said, with another hundred people dead, steam practically billowing from his head.
Lin Tian followed Fang Shaoxiong, with twelve armored vehicles leading the way, and the rest following behind, chasing after the group of attackers.
In less than ten minutes, the crowd had rushed out of Wu'an City and saw the fleeing assassins ahead of them.
There were over a hundred assassins, a few of whom were Mirror Condensing experts, the rest were Mirror Breaking, Mirror Opening strength, and even some ordinary people.
Seeing Lin Tian and his group chasing them, the group headed into a nearby grove.
Lin Tian turned and gave chase, enraged by the death of more than a hundred civilians, failing to notice the danger in this.
The group followed the attackers into the grove and disappeared in a moment. As Lin Tian and the others walked, he suddenly felt a trace of danger.
"Stop."
Lin Tian yelled. Fang Shaoxiong braked abruptly, and the armored vehicle stopped.
Lin Tian got out of the vehicle, his eyes as keen as an eagle's, surveying the surroundings.
He didn't find anything unusual.
That was the biggest anomaly.
He called over Wang Ying, saying, "Shoot in that direction!"
Wang Ying took out his godly gun and fired a random shot.
After the shot, silence ensued, not even a bird fluttered up.
This forest was dense and protected, teeming with countless birds, wild boars, deer, pheasants, and other wildlife.
Normally, yelling here would startle countless birds into flight, but now, it was too quiet, eerily quiet.
Wang Ying looked through the telescope, scrutinizing carefully, and found that within his line of sight, there was not a single bird. Looking closer, he even spotted a moving tree branch.
"Big brother, come take a look!"
Through the telescope, Lin Tian noticed that not only was the tree branch moving, but it was also slowly getting taller.
Then, a person clad in black slowly appeared before Lin Tian's eyes.
The figure removed the tree branches from his body and walked towards Lin Tian step by step.
He was using the tree branches as camouflage.
And it was not just him alone; suddenly, numerous figures charged towards Lin Tian.
