High-level female soldiers: My female soldiers are all SSS-rank!
Chapter 23 People Die for Money
As the young master of the Parkson Group, Shao Jie has lived a life of luxury since childhood, and his life is so comfortable that it is the envy of many.
However, beneath this seemingly carefree exterior, deep down he yearned for the same thing as most people—the pursuit of power.
To achieve this goal, Shao Jie could easily spend a fortune on any crystal cores and elixirs available on the market that could be obtained with money.
However, just as everything in the world has its limits.
These crystal cores and elixirs that once gave him power gradually lost their potency with each use due to drug resistance, eventually becoming negligible.
Shao Jie knew clearly that with his talent, reaching the second-tier martial artist level was probably his limit.
By then, it will be extremely difficult for me to inherit the group.
Therefore, he must win first place in the qualifiers.
This is the only way to shut up those old fogies in the group and clarify my status as the heir.
Shao Jie clenched his fist inwardly.
So what if there's danger? I have so much money and so many people, aren't they just waiting for this moment to risk their lives for me?
"Everyone, if we manage to capture the second-tier mutated monster, the Water Monkey, tomorrow, in addition to the group's compensation, I'll give you a huge reward! A bonus of three million, plus a year of paid leave!"
"A five million yuan bonus and a year of paid leave will be awarded to those seriously injured!"
Shao Jie's eyes flickered as he sized up the people around him.
Seeing that the people around him were interested, but looking at the torrential rain outside, they were still wary of the water monkey's strength in the rain.
"In the event of death, the group will provide a compensation of seven million! The group will also support your parents in their old age, and the group will provide education for your children until they are established in their careers and families. Any descendants with martial arts skills will be given priority for recruitment!"
After a moment, the group exchanged glances and nodded in agreement.
"Young Master Shao, we are all from poor families, and our martial arts careers have come to an end. Since you are willing to spend so much money, then... it's fine!"
"In that case, let's get ready!"
The group nodded in silence.
……
It was 7 a.m., and overnight the entire city of Zhenhai had been transformed into a water city. The rain was fine and dense, and water flowed continuously through the streets and alleys.
The torrential rain came suddenly. The spokesperson for Zhenhai City stood in front of the camera, his eyes firm, his voice steady and powerful, making a resounding promise to the people of the city.
Zhenhai City is making every effort to stop the flooding, and drainage facilities are operating at full capacity. Normal traffic in the city will be restored in just a few hours.
As for the martial arts competition preliminary rounds that everyone is concerned about, they will not be stopped. At the same time, federal martial artists will enter the outer areas of the Wuxie region to minimize casualties among young martial artists.
Looking at the heavy rain outside the window and feeling the chilly wind in the mountains, Ye Chu didn't know what to do for a moment.
Little did they know that a thrilling life-or-death struggle was quietly unfolding six or seven miles away.
The rain, like a curtain, obscured the boundary between heaven and earth, and only death was clearly visible in this chaos.
A group of warriors, dressed in tattered clothes, looked like wounded soldiers returning from the battlefield. Their bodies were stained with blood, their breathing was disordered, but they dared not stop for a moment.
Raindrops mingled with sweat, further blurring their vision.
In the vast expanse of rain, a colossal creature appeared out of nowhere. Its entire body was covered in dark blue fur, and it stood five meters tall, resembling a giant ape from ancient times.
The water monkey roared to the sky, its roar piercing the clouds and splitting rocks, carrying boundless anger and majesty, shaking the surrounding trees and making even the heavens and earth change color.
Each of its leaps is like a meteorite falling from the sky, carrying a devastating force that smashes the ground to pieces, sending dust flying everywhere.
Even in this slippery, muddy place, the water monkey moved with ease, as if the earth itself was bowing down beneath its feet.
What's even more chilling is that a large, gleaming blade was tightly wrapped around the giant ape's tail. Rain and blood droplets mingled on the blade, making it appear even sharper.
The giant ape's face was contorted with rage, becoming ferocious and terrifying. It displayed endless fury and murderous intent towards those humans who dared to challenge its authority.
……
Suddenly, a deafening roar shattered the silence, like the roar of an ancient beast, instantly filling the room with an indescribable atmosphere of tension.
Ye Chu's body involuntarily stiffened for a moment, and a look of surprise and doubt flashed in his eyes.
"Strange, the yin energy here is so thin, almost nonexistent, yet it still attracts second-tier or even higher-level demonic beasts?"
Ye Chu pondered to himself, his brows furrowing slightly, as if he could penetrate the walls and glimpse the unknown disturbances outside.
Immediately, Ye Chu calmed his mind, his aura quietly gathering, and his ears twitched slightly, capturing every subtle sound in the air.
His senses surged forth like a tide, attempting to unravel this sudden mystery.
A moment later, Ye Chu gently spun his palm, and Mu Tongyan immediately understood Ye Chu's meaning. Then, a soft and dazzling white light flashed by.
Ye Chu held a white dragon spear in his hand.
Afterwards, Ye Chu found a raincoat in the hotel, put it on, and walked into the rain.
……
"Young Master Shao, we overestimated our own abilities and underestimated the Water Monkey's strength..."
He Ke's face was as pale as paper, a shocking trickle of blood spilled from the corner of his mouth, and his voice was filled with resentment and weakness.
"Young Master Shao, you go first. We'll cover your retreat."
At that moment, Shao Jie wiped the rain from his forehead.
"In that case, you don't need to worry about the money."
After saying that, Shao Jie turned around and left with Wang Ballet.
The three remaining martial artists watched Shao Jie's disappearing figure, their hearts filled with mixed emotions.
They smiled at each other, a smile that reflected both their helplessness in the face of fate and their deep appreciation for the friendship between them.
"Having lived for twenty years, this body of flesh and blood has fetched a good price today."
One person was the most seriously injured, with his right arm severed, and he was only able to support himself by touching the ground with his single sword.
"Alas, everything in this world is predestined, and nothing is up to us. I only hope that in the next life, we can fight side by side and cultivate martial arts together."
One of them sighed softly, his words revealing a sense of detachment and relief.
"It's just a pity about this female soldier... If you have a chance to survive after we die, go and find another way to live."
He Ke raised a broadsword in his hand, his eyes slightly dazed.
At that moment, the water monkey noticed that the group had suddenly stopped, and a rare hint of confusion appeared in its usually violent eyes.
It's hard for them to understand why these guys would stop and wait to die.
They were clearly so weak and vulnerable.
Shouldn't living be the most important thing? Why would they choose to die?
The water monkey slowly stopped, its huge hand opening to grasp the large knife offered from its tail.
"Tell my parents I want to be their son again in my next life!"
One of them raised his weapon and charged at the water monkey.
A flash of light cleaved through the rain.
The next moment, the man's head flew high into the air, blood gushing from his neck, which even a torrential downpour could not wash away.
