Wasteland Commander

Chapter 175: Joy Turns to Sorrow


The television broadcast continued, while Xu Weiwei waited to present the flowers.

The unsuspecting crowd smiled and applauded, seeing it as a group of performers, a troupe of artists flattering their Dawn Army leader, Ye Fan.

Yet those aware of some inside stories knew the moment of unveiling hidden dangers was near.

Among the Level 2 Evolvers of Divine Dragon Province, someone had surely infiltrated the song and dance troupe. However, the identity remained unclear to the general public.

Feng Qi stood in the front row on the outer perimeter of Ye Fan's guard team.

He kept his eyes on his nose, his nose on his mouth, and his mouth silent.

He feared revealing his murderous intent, which might alert the police dogs and giant bears around Ye Fan.

Those creatures were extremely sensitive. His assistant, already exposed due to excessive tension, was closely watched by a massive police dog. The dog's menacing glare promised an immediate attack should the assistant make any wrong move.

To avoid suspicion, Feng Qi distanced himself from his assistant, the two pretending not to know each other.

He waited for the right opportunity.

Ye Fan stood up with a smile: "Since Miss Xu Weiwei is personally bringing me the flower garland, how could I refuse?"

The clown handed the flower garland to his assistant, who placed it on a tray.

The assistant brought it to Xu Weiwei, raising her hand ready to place it on Ye Fan.

At this moment, Zhuge Yunxue suddenly stopped Xu Weiwei: "Let me check it."

She took the garland and inspected it carefully. The flowers, some in full bloom and others budding, appeared normal.

Returning it to Xu Weiwei, Xu smiled at her, then turned back to Ye Fan.

"Leader Ye, may I place the garland on you now?"

Ye Fan chuckled: "Of course."

Xu Weiwei placed the garland on Ye Fan's head.

Ye Fan remained relaxed and jovial, easing the anxiety of those worried about his safety.

Was everything truly as normal and problem-free as it seemed?

Perhaps it was just their own paranoia, overreacting to a perfectly ordinary performance troupe.

With the garland placed, the troupe withdrew.

Next came the concluding dance.

All performers returned to the stage, and the male and female hosts stood in the center, delivering their closing remarks.

Everyone was pleased with the performance, seemingly concluding perfectly.

The host enthusiastically invited Ye Fan: "Leader Ye, would you take a group photo with us?"

Ye Fan chuckled: "No problem."

Accompanied by the guard, Zhuge Yunxue, he slowly ascended the stage.

Ye Fan stood center stage, with Zhuge Yunxue behind him and the celebrity Xu Weiwei to his left.

Xu Weiwei gently held Ye Fan's arm, slowly leaning her head towards him.

At this point, the female host discarded her restraint, rushing to Ye Fan's right, also intertwining her arm with his, leaning her head towards him.

To have two beautiful women on either side, leaning against you, truly felt like the pinnacle of life.

On either side of the two beauties were the troupe's leader, Lin Dong.

Beneath, cameras flashed, as the audience began to leave and cleaning staff started tidying up the venue.

An old man with a broom passed in front of the stage, sweeping dust into the air.

Despite the choking dust, everything appeared utterly harmonious.

...

Boom~~!

Suddenly, an explosion sounded from outside!

It seemed to echo from not far away.

The ground shook, causing immediate panic among the crowd.

Indoor lights flickered, indicating unstable voltage.

"Beep beep~~!"

A shrill whistle sounded outside, along with the distant sound of gunfire.

The guards' attention was immediately drawn, instinctively looking in that direction.

And at that moment, the bright stage lights abruptly went out, sparking swift chaos!

The female host, who had been holding Ye Fan's arm, suddenly raised her hand.

One hand held Ye Fan's arm; the other still held a microphone, which transformed, revealing a hidden blade!

In the darkness, the blade's glint aimed directly at Ye Fan!

Behind Ye Fan, Zhuge Yunxue reacted no slower, sensing the host's strange movement, immediately launching an attack.

But someone blocked her.

Singer-troupe leader Lin Dong suddenly targeted Zhuge Yunxue!

By this time, the troupe abandoned its disguise, with Lin Dong sneering: "Jiangbei Tiger Qiao Lie, here to deliver the final blow to your Dawn Army!"

Meanwhile, the military police dog Xiaotian, moving all along, suddenly leaped onto the stage.

It sensed the unusual event, as those Level 2 Evolvers no longer suppressed their power, unleashing their violent intents, prompting an immediate attack.

Yet, the male host blocked it.

The male host's fists transformed into stone-like pillars, and as he swung them, they somehow withstood the police dog Xiaotian, preventing it from quickly reaching the stage!

"Stupid dog! Today I'll show you the power of the Ice City Little Stone!"

From a distance, Feng Qi, who didn't dare to act rashly, heard this voice, and his eyes became sharp. Indeed, they still had backup plans.

This Little Stone, also one of the top ten masters in the Divine Dragon Province, unexpectedly disguised himself as the male host and blended in.

Zhuge Yunxue and Xiaotian were blocked at the same time, while the female host launched an assassination on Ye Fan.

Blade gleamed menacingly, each move deadly!

Ye Fan seemed to have some skills as he twisted and dodged, but danger was still imminent because Xu Weiwei, apparently too scared to think, was still clinging to his arm.

Under the dim light, the female host resembled a venomous snake flicking its tongue.

Five-step Snake You Sisi!

The sudden outburst of change plunged the stage into chaos!

Most people didn't know the specific situation, and some actors screamed and ran off stage.

Some guards started rushing in with guns, because Ye Fan was in the crowd, and now that the crowd was in chaos, they couldn't randomly fire, so they had to rush in to rescue.

At this moment, someone from the performing troupe made a move.

The clown's assistant.

The one responsible for carrying plates and handing over the magic wand, his hands ignited with blazing flames, leaped over people's heads, fists swinging, and flames soaring!

He took a mouthful of strong liquor, spat out the liquor from between his hands, and a fierce flame enveloped most of the stage!

The scorching heat forced the members of the guard company and the two War Bears to retreat.

This man was the real Deadly Clown Wang Buhuan!

While everyone focused on the clown, Wang Buhuan had been hiding as an assistant, serving as the last line of defense for the performing troupe.

He used to perform fire magic, and after becoming a Level 2 Evolver, his ability improved and he could use the flames as weapons.

Ye Fan was desperately blocking the assassin on his left, while Xu Weiwei was stumbling and clinging on his right.

Zhuge Yunxue was blocked, Xiaotian was blocked, and the members of the War Bear and guard company were also blocked.

The situation was already extremely dangerous!

Feng Qi approached the stage rapidly under such circumstances.

Their plan had been made long ago. Previously, the clown let the enemy lose some alertness, and the seemingly deadly moment of the wreath was also a decoy to further relax the enemy's vigilance.

The real killing move was during the photo session.

People outside created chaos to draw the guards' attention, and then they acted immediately here.

According to their analysis, Ye Fan might also be an Evolver, with guards around. If they couldn't kill Ye Fan at once, none of them could leave.

So the assassination details were very meticulous.

The first to act was the Five-step Snake You Sisi, the female host.

Then Jiangbei Tiger Qiao Lie dealt with Ye Fan's guards, while Ice City Stone and Deadly Clown Wang Buhuan were responsible for blocking Ye Fan directly.

Feng Qi, from the audience area, followed closely behind Ye Fan's guards to quickly approach and deliver a fatal blow to Ye Fan!

Now was Feng Qi's time to shine.

He fully showcased his Snow Mountain Divine Eagle skills, suddenly soaring through the crowd!

Everyone who entered hadn't brought hot weapons. You Sisi's weapon was hidden in the microphone, Little Stone's weapon was his arm, and Wang Buhuan could control the flames.

Feng Qi's weapon was his belt. As the belt was untied, it revealed a series of willow leaf flying knives!

The target was Ye Fan, who was still fiercely entangled with You Sisi. He intended to take his life with the flying knives!

At this moment, there was only Ye Fan in his sight, the chaos around him didn't matter.

The flying knives were something he had always practiced. After the apocalypse, he became an Evolver, and his flying knife skills became more refined. Later, after becoming a Level 2 Evolver, he even named himself Xiaofeng Flying Knife.

A flying knife unsheathed, it never returned without drawing blood!

Moreover, someone was cooperating with him at this moment.

The seemingly terrified Xu Weiwei suddenly tugged on Ye Fan, causing Ye Fan's body to stall.

At this moment, Feng Qi's flying knife arrived.

Direct hit~~~!

A knife pierced through the gap in the crowd, directly into Ye Fan's chest!

"Got him! Retreat!"

The assassins from the performing troupe began to abandon their opponents and retreat swiftly.

Outside, there was already chaos being created. As long as they could escape the theater, with the skills of Level 2 Evolvers, leaving here wasn't too difficult.

The Level 2 Evolvers sprinted through the aisles, leaped over seats, each with hearts pounding with excitement.

Being able to assassinate Ye Fan in the Dawn Army, completing such an impossible task, from today, those involved in the assassination were destined to be famous!

Seeing they were nearing the escape door, breaking out might mean boundless horizons.

Simultaneously, he turned his head to glance back, wanting to see if Ye Fan was dead.

But this glance froze him.

A medical female soldier ran onto the stage, supported the fallen Ye Fan, and removed a mask from his face, revealing an ordinary-looking face.

Feeling for a pulse, the female soldier let out a sigh of relief.

She shouted loudly in a specific direction.

It was the saddest story in the world.

"Sir, these people almost killed your decoy."

The members of the assassination squad, just about to escape the theater, stopped in their tracks abruptly.
