Doomsday: I Can Get a Hint

Chapter 166: The Deal


Wang Hao: ...

He never expected it would come to this result.

So, what should he do now?

Go back?

Doesn't seem necessary.

Tang Rui and Yang Tian are badly injured, they can't contribute much combat power anymore.

Moreover, he doesn't really like Yang Tian.

Zhao Hu was stabbed by him. If given a chance, he's sure Zhao Hu would stab him twice without hesitation.

So, should he take this opportunity to capture Yang Tian?

Yang Tian, after all, holds the secret of immunity to corpse poison.

But in the end, Wang Hao decided to give up.

Now is not the time.

If Yang Tian's poison immunity comes from some external treasure, that would be easier to handle.

Just kill him and take the item.

However, he doesn't know the source right now. There might be a need for interrogation, or possibly research later on.

That would be quite troublesome.

Superpower Users aren't easy to imprison.

So, better to let him go for now, and after returning from Purple Gold Mountain with the Purple Stone, then take him down.

"Hmm?"

Just as Wang Hao was about to leave, he suddenly sensed something, looking up in one direction.

The spiritual power within him instinctively circulated, enhancing his vision.

"What's wrong, brother?"

Xiaoyueyue asked softly.

"Hmm... it's nothing, maybe I felt wrong."

Wang Hao withdrew his gaze.

His brow slightly furrowed.

He seemed to have felt a strange fluctuation sweep through just now.

"This person is quite interesting, huh!"

As soon as Wang Hao left, three figures slowly emerged from the direction he had just been looking at.

"Hmm! Definitely a bit peculiar."

"Let's go, the show's over here."

"Let's go, important matters first."

...

In the grass, Zhao Hu transformed back into human form, clutching his abdomen, gasping heavily.

Blood was still gushing out, he was in terrible shape.

Even though he had devoured Zhao Meng and gained complete superpowers.

The injuries he sustained couldn't heal instantly.

Lacking medicine, he was in a very difficult position.

"Damn it, Yang Tian, Li Qian, Tang Rui, I'm going to kill you all!!!"

He gritted his teeth and growled lowly.

This battle was utterly devastating for him.

Even his only brother was dead.

In a fit of rage, his injuries worsened, causing him to cough up a mouthful of blood.

"Sigh..."

Just then, a sigh reached his ears.

"Who's there!"

Zhao Hu was taken aback, quickly assuming a defensive stance, ready to transform at any moment.

"Brother Hu, how did you end up like this!"

Wang Hao walked in.

Seeing Wang Hao, some of the alertness on Zhao Hu's face faded, but he still retreated slightly to maintain some distance, holding a defensive stance.

"How did you find me?"

"You're injured and bleeding continuously; finding you wasn't hard."

Wang Hao's body, strengthened by spiritual power, had already had his senses greatly enhanced.

With additional temporary amplification through spiritual power, locating Zhao Hu using his sense of smell, sight, and hearing was relatively easy.

"What do you want?"

Zhao Hu watched Wang Hao warily, ready to transform at the slightest hint of trouble.

"I'd like to make a deal with you."

Wang Hao took out a packet of cigarettes and a lighter, passing them over.

Zhao Hu shakily accepted, drew out a stick, and lit it, taking a deep breath.

"What kind of deal?"

"Mengzi was my friend; when you were all fighting, I was far away and couldn't save him in time, such a pity."

Wang Hao sighed deeply, speaking淡ly:

"I don't want to get involved in your fight with Yang Tian, but for Mengzi's sake, I could help you heal your wounds.

But I want that Spirit Stone you took from Li Qian's house."

"Spirit Stone?"

Zhao Hu frowned.

"It's a stone about the size of a human head, glows, and has something inside it."

Wang Hao described.

"You want that?"

Zhao Hu's eyes narrowed slightly, already guessing from Wang Hao's words that Li Qian might have sought him out before.

"That thing is a cursed item!"

"Oh?"

Wang Hao's eyes brightened slightly.

So it turns out the item really exists and was not just something Li Qian made up.

"I left it in the office's secret room. If you want it, feel free to take it. If I'm lucky enough to make it back alive, I can bring it to you myself."

Zhao Hu agreed straightforwardly.

Right now, he had no desire to care about that item anymore.

He just wanted to survive and then take revenge on Yang Tian, Tang Rui, and Li Qian.

He wanted to kill them all.

"Alright!"

Wang Hao took out a first aid kit and began to stop Zhao Hu's bleeding, bandaging and treating him.

Even though he was neither a doctor nor a nurse,

before Doomsday, he had found some information and learned some basic first aid skills.

Additionally, Sun Yaoyao had personally taught him some basics.

He was capable enough to perform simple wound treatments.

Zhao Hu, as a Superpower User, now possessing complete superpowers, had a recovery ability far superior to ordinary people.

He would recover quickly.

"Have some food as well."

Wang Hao also took out some canned meat and bread for him.

Zhao Hu saw no need to doubt and ate heartily.

"Younger Brother Wang, I, Zhao Hu, owe you a big one."

After eating and drinking, he looked at Wang Hao, speaking solemnly.

Wang Hao smiled and didn't respond.

Compared to Yang Tian, Zhao Hu at least kept his word and had some sense of loyalty.

Yang Tian was completely unpredictable, liable to stab you anytime.

The sky was already brightening.

Wang Hao wiped the sweat from his forehead, preparing to leave.

He didn't want to stay with Zhao Hu, much less stick with Yang Tian and the others.

Their business was theirs to handle.

He saw no reason to get involved.

It would only bring him trouble.

"Brother Hu, keep these for food, and remember to take this anti-inflammatory medicine too, so the wounds don't get infected."

Wang Hao handed over some more items, showing a thorough sense of responsibility.

"Thanks!"

Zhao Hu clasped his hands in acknowledgment.

Wang Hao patted his shoulder and quietly left.

Actually, when he first tracked Zhao Hu, he intended to kill him.

He always had a question in his mind.

You couldn't gain spiritual power by killing ordinary humans, but what about by killing a Superpower User?

He'd always wanted to find a Superpower User to kill.

His initial target was Tang Rui.

He planned to wait till Tang Rui was trapped and close to death, to strike and finish him off.

But then this incident happened.

Even though Zhao Hu was gravely injured, killing him would have been easy.

However, Wang Hao ultimately chose to save him.

It wasn't that he couldn't bear to act, but keeping Zhao Hu alive would be more useful.

Killing a Superpower User wasn't something urgent.

It's more worthwhile to fatten him up before striking.
