Chapter 1648 - 917: Li Yu vs. Qingyang, Who Won?
Qingyang seemed to be thinking hard, but no matter what he did, he just couldn’t figure it out.
So he opened his mouth and said, "Sorry, I haven’t thought of anything yet. Can I tell you when I do?"
"Sure, why not... Mm, let me tell you something. Do you know where this is?" Li Yu slowly reined in his smile.
His sharp gaze was fixed on Qingyang.
Qingyang shook his head and said, "No idea, but it probably isn’t in our country, right? I just heard them saying so."
Li Yu said slowly, "This is Myanmar."
"And also."
Li Yu’s eyes turned gloomy; in the night, his gaze was like that of a wolf, terrifying.
"There used to be several thousand people here, but they were all indirectly wiped out by us."
Thud!
Qingyang fell off the vehicle, looking at Li Yu with a bit of fear.
Li Yu burst out laughing.
"Get up here."
Li Yu patted the spot beside him, the iron sheet of the car roof clanging loudly with each slap.
Qingyang seemed a little confused. His body was light; with a leap, he stepped on the window frame and flipped himself up in one go, sitting down again, only this time at a spot a bit farther from Li Yu than before.
Seeing Qingyang’s clean, crisp movements, Li Yu’s eyes lit up, and his hands itched.
But he still had things to say to Qingyang, so he suppressed the itch.
"Scared?" Li Yu asked softly.
Qingyang thought for a moment and said, "Not exactly scared, I just don’t know the reason. I believe Director Li definitely had his reasons for doing this."
"Haha, you know how to talk. Do you know the stories about scammers in Myanmar before the Doomsday?"
"I’ve heard a bit."
Li Yu then slowly recounted what those scammers had done before the Doomsday—how they lured people over, how they cheated them until their families were ruined, and how they harvested people’s kidneys, forcing them to do all sorts of filthy things.
He also told Qingyang again about what had happened over in the Lao Country, about people eating people.
After hearing all this, Qingyang’s face filled with anger, his fists clenched tight.
"Detestable. Director Li, what you did was right."
Li Yu smiled, shook his head, and said nothing.
Then he continued speaking to Qingyang: "In this Doomsday, you can’t pin your hopes on others. Don’t expect others to help you or save you. Only when you’re strong enough do you have a say. Otherwise, you’ll be eaten until not even your bones remain.
Being weak is the original sin....."
Li Yu began a new round of brainwashing; he wanted Qingyang to understand deeply the purpose and reasons behind what he did.
He could more or less guess that the relationship between Qingyang and Li Yuan might have taken a step further, and if they could end up together in the future, Qingyang would count as Li Yu’s brother-in-law.
That was why he was willing to spend some time telling him all this.
He talked for more than half an hour.
By now, the way Qingyang looked at Li Yu had changed a lot.
In his eyes there was now a sense of respect and admiration.
"Director Li, such righteousness!"
"Not really, not really. Qingyang, I see your skills are pretty good. Let’s have a little practice, just stop when it’s enough."
Having said what he wanted to say, Li Yu spoke with somewhat itchy hands.
Hearing this, Qingyang actually didn’t really want to fight, but when he heard Li Yu say it was just a practice bout, he didn’t refuse.
"Alright."
Li Yu jumped down from the RV roof, and when Qingyang saw Li Yu had come down, he followed and jumped down as well.
They walked to an open space, and the people around them looked on curiously at the sight of the two.
Until they saw Qingyang stretch out his hand and give a salute.
"Holy shit, Director Li and Qingyang are gonna fight. Get up, stop lying around."
"Looking forward to this, looking forward to this, I really want to see who comes out on top."
"You ever seen Director Li make a move? I have. Back in Oil City, when things were wild, someone ambushed Director Li and got blown apart by him on the spot."
"I admit Director Li is strong, but this Qingyang is no joke either. On the way back from Oil City, I saw him fight—those moves were slick as hell!"
....
The people who had been sitting in the central open area were now all watching Li Yu and Qingyang with great interest.
Lao Yi, Dapao and the others in the car, hearing the commotion, all poked their heads out, their eyes full of gossip.
On the other side, Third Uncle and the others, who had just finished eating and were doing maintenance on the Helicopter,
were also watching Li Yu and Qingyang with some interest.
"Captain, you’ve sparred with Director Li before. Who won?"
Third Uncle shook his head and said with a smile, "He and I both use killing moves. There is no winning or losing."
"Right, Jackals, you and Qingyang once held off Zombies by the river together. How are his skills? You think you could beat him?"
Jackals thought about it and said, "Hard to say. I’ve never really gone all out against him."
Soon, everyone in the compound ran over to watch the duel between Li Yu and Qingyang.
"Come." Li Yu straightened up and called out to Qingyang.
After his rebirth, his body had changed a lot.
It was as if he had endless energy, his mind was sharper, and both his strength and speed had increased a lot.
Especially his sense for danger—it had grown monstrously sharp.
Hearing Li Yu’s call, Qingyang said a quick "Offense meant," then rushed forward.
Qingyang’s steps were light; he didn’t look fast, but Li Yu knew this was already a very high speed.
Qingyang struck with his palm toward Li Yu. When he saw Li Yu still not moving, he was about to pull back his strength.
Then he heard Li Yu say, "Use full strength."
As he spoke, Li Yu stepped half a step back and kicked toward Qingyang’s crotch.
This was something he’d learned from Third Uncle.
Seeing this move from Li Yu, the corner of Third Uncle’s mouth twitched slightly.
