Apocalypse: The Supporting Actress Made a Comeback novel Chapter 680

Chapter 680: 365 If you don’t want to die, get lost!_2

Deng Hong, who was opposite, was originally smug, thinking that Bai Zhengli and his companions were doomed this time, but he didn’t expect the bullet to actually reflect back! His expression changed, and he hurriedly fired another one, hitting the reflected bullet exactly.

The two bullets collided mid-way, and with a "bang," a huge flame erupted!

At the same time, Deng Hong squinted his eyes, warily looking towards the direction of the convoy, realizing from just that move alone that the people who had come this time were not easy to deal with!

He couldn’t help but regret internally, wishing he hadn’t snatched this mission; it would have been much better to let someone else take it! Initially, he thought that Peace Base was just a small base, whose leader, besides being able to communicate with animals and having contracted quite a few Mutant Beasts and Mutated Birds, had no other great abilities. Taking down Peace Base seemed too easy, which was why he had snatched the mission deliberately.

Where would he have thought that a group of Chen Yaojin would suddenly appear on the way! Who in the world were these people? They really minded others’ business too much!

He felt immensely frustrated, his face gloomy. Just as he was about to fire another bullet, someone next to him suddenly said, "Captain Deng, please think thrice! Before we left, the leader specifically instructed that ammunition is limited and absolutely must not be wasted!" After saying that, he even intentionally glanced at the rocket launcher Deng Hong was carrying on his shoulder, the meaning quite clear.

Deng Hong’s face flushed red with what he said, and he also felt somewhat disgruntled. It was just a few rocket shells, after all. Ji Chengtian was being too stingy! After all the diligent work he had done for Ji Chengtian these days, could it not even account for a few rocket shells? Moreover, it wasn’t like he was wasting them on purpose. Was there a need to embarrass him publicly like this?

Thinking of this, he darkly glanced at the person who had just spoken, and realized it was his deputy, who was also a Third-level Superpower User. Deng Hong had previously thought highly of this person, who seemed capable of handling anything well. But now, he gradually sensed that something was off.

Why did this person dare to speak to him like that just now? Could it be that this person no longer regarded him highly? Suddenly, an unprecedented sense of crisis surged in Deng Hong’s heart. He gradually realized that besides having decent abilities, he had many shortcomings, unlike this person before him, who was not only intelligent and handsome, but also managed everything in perfect order, completely qualified to replace him outright!

The more Deng Hong thought about it, the more upset he felt. His gaze at the other person involuntarily conveyed a bit of murderous intent. The deputy saw it, his gaze flicking slightly, but his face maintained a perfectly appropriate smile as he continued to say to Deng Hong, "This time, the people might be formidable. It’s better to outsmart them. We only have slightly over a thousand people here; once a fight breaks out, it will be very disadvantageous."

If it were before, Deng Hong would certainly have listened to his advice. But now, having realized that this person was likely to replace him, his mind was filled with intense crisis, leaving no room to genuinely consider this person’s suggestions. Even the perfectly placed smile on the person’s face felt unbearably irritating to Deng Hong, as if plotting against him!
