Quick Wear: The Development of a Pure Cannon Fodder

Chapter 121 The End of the World (37)

Meng Yu naturally felt Li Zeliang's dissatisfaction, but she didn't care. After the quarrel before departure, she knew that she might not be able to stay in this team. In this case, why should she waste her energy to pay attention to Li Zeliang and others who would not work with her in the future? At most, she would pay attention to Yang Youcheng and the other two, because these three were the ones who treated her sincerely.

"Congratulations on becoming a level three psychic." Yu Zinyin, who was on the same floor, naturally also saw Meng Yu's upgrade, and she sincerely congratulated Meng Yu.

Meng Yu nodded and smiled in response, "Thank you. Congratulations to your brothers for breaking through the bottleneck and becoming fourth-level psychics."

Li Zeliang's face darkened at these words, and he clenched his fists at his side. He didn't know if Meng Yu had said this intentionally or unintentionally. But he couldn't stop him. Should he tell him that he couldn't congratulate the other person, or would he be rubbing salt into his heart?

Zhuang Zitao was still muttering beside him at this time: "Does the deputy captain still realize which team she is on? He's so close to her without knowing her background, and he's not afraid of putting the team in danger."

Fang Yujiao followed up, "They simply don't take the team's safety seriously."

When Pei Shu heard everyone's dissatisfaction with Meng Yu, most of the unhappiness in her heart disappeared.

She couldn't do anything to Yu Zinyin, but dealing with Meng Yu should be easy, right?

After hearing this, Li Zeliang's expression became increasingly grim. Regardless of the two people in front of him still chatting, he ordered in an unyielding voice: "Meng Yu, come here!"

The conversation between Meng Yu and Yu Ziyin came to an abrupt halt. Even Yu Huai and Zhao Cheng, who were sitting behind Yu Ziyin, couldn't help but open their eyes and look at Li Zeliang. Although the four people had different expressions, the speechlessness and the emotion of looking at a fool in their eyes were exactly the same.

If you don't know, you might think he was calling a dog.

Meng Yu didn't move. She just stood there and looked at Li Zeliang, "Captain, is there something wrong?"

"I asked you to come over!" Li Zeliang was worried when he saw that she did not come back as he wished, and his tone became heavier.

Yang Youcheng kindly came to Li Zeliang's rescue, "Deputy Captain, perhaps the captain wants to discuss with you what to do next."

Li Zeliang looked at Yang Youcheng coldly, obviously not appreciating it.

Yang Youcheng saw this, and the chill in his heart became even greater.

Although the captain used to be partial and always sided with Pei Shu and the others, he still cared about the team members' reputation. How did he become like this now? Could it be that the death of the Zhang siblings had irritated the captain?

Yang Youcheng didn't know that his guess was basically half right.

The reason why Li Zeliang was kind and calm in the past, making the team members feel at ease, was because he had a high status in the Sunshine Base and was very capable. No one would be stupid enough to go against him. Everyone also praised him because he was the future son-in-law of the base director. Therefore, only some people who had close contact with him could feel Li Zeliang's true character. Even the team members could not realize that he was a confident and somewhat conceited person.

But now, he has shouldered a huge responsibility for the death of the Zhang brothers and sisters, and he can basically not get rid of it. Although he did not show it on his face, the psychological pressure made him feel overwhelmed, which naturally made him lose his usual calmness and peace.

Let me ask you, when people are under great mental stress, can they still maintain their disguise?

This is naturally impossible. Moreover, Li Zeliang has been unable to advance and break through to level four, which has caused him to feel unbalanced mentally. This became even more obvious after he saw Yu Huai and Zhao Cheng easily break through to level four. Even though these emotions are within his control, he still needs an outlet.

And Meng Yu, the deputy captain whom he disliked, unfortunately became his outlet.

Seeing Meng Yu still not making any move after hearing Yang Youcheng's explanation, Li Zeliang couldn't help but radiate a chill. "Meng Yu, do you still remember that you are a member of my team?"

"I remember. But am I your dog? Why should I let you treat me like this?" Meng Yu said coldly.

"Didn't you just pretend not to hear? Then what's wrong with me repeating it again? If you feel wronged, you can leave. My team doesn't need players who don't obey the captain's instructions!" Li Zeliang felt annoyed when he thought of the several times Meng Yu had gone against him before, and he couldn't help but speak harshly.

But he did not feel any regret after he said it, because he had something on Meng Yu, which was Meng Yu's parents. Meng Yu's parents had lost a daughter now. According to his understanding of Meng Yu, the other party would definitely not abandon her parents like this. As long as her parents were in the Sunshine Base, he could continue to control the other party.

Yu Huai frowned. This was really serious. Wasn't it just a few words with his sister? How did it become like this?

"Captain!" Yang Youcheng and others looked at Li Zeliang in surprise, not understanding why the matter had developed like this.

At the same time, they looked at the deputy captain, whose expression did not change much, and they more or less understood in their hearts that perhaps the deputy captain no longer had much sense of belonging to the team, and they could not help but feel uneasy.

Zhou Wei came up and grabbed Meng Yu, "Deputy Captain, don't listen to the captain's angry words. Don't take it to heart. The captain, he, he's just a little excited..."

"Yes! Deputy Captain, how can our team be without you?" Zhang Yu also stepped forward and said.

Yang Youcheng stood aside, watching Meng Yu's calm, almost indifferent expression. He knew that if the captain said this, the deputy captain might really leave. He couldn't help but smile bitterly, thinking that his decision to travel this time was completely wrong. He should never have come out. What had once been a good team might really be broken up.

Moreover, if the deputy captain Meng Yu left, he would not want to stay. Yang Youcheng had seen the end of the team's future. He was already dissatisfied with following such a confused and biased captain. What's more, the team was involved in the incident with the Zhang brothers and sisters this time, and they would definitely be held accountable later. Leaving early might give him a chance to get out of it.

Meng Yu ignored Zhang Yu and Zhou Wei, who were talking. She just looked at Li Zeliang, who seemed to have her under control, and sneered inwardly. She knew why Li Zeliang was so stubborn: it was because her parents were still in Sunshine Base. Li Zeliang must have felt that she couldn't bear to see her daughter's parents living alone in Sunshine Base, and so she would definitely give in to him.

It's a pity that Li Zeliang didn't know how her parents treated her. If he knew, he would definitely not dare to be so tough with her. But she was not stupid enough to remind Li Zeliang about this. Now that the other party wanted to drive her away, she was willing to be the "victim" who was forced to be driven away by the captain.

Meng Yu raised her eyes to look at Li Zeliang, tore off the pattern with the Sunshine Base logo on her body, threw it to the ground, and said in a sincere voice, "Thank you for letting me go."

Before Li Zeliang and the others could react, Yu Ziyin, who was standing beside Meng Yu, grabbed her and said, "Ms. Meng, our team is short of people. Would you like to join us? There are so many benefits!"
