The vipers were starving and agitated, their hunger and panic making them aggressive.
The vipers lunged at She Yong and his men, tearing at them with their fangs.
"Ah—!"
Those who harm others will ultimately be harmed themselves.
These snake-men, who usually used venomous snakes to victimize others, were finally getting their just desserts today, harmed by the very snakes they raised.
The vipers bit ferociously, leaving deep gashes on She Yong and his men.
Worse still, the snakes' venom was potent, causing the wounds to turn dark brown, a testament to its deadliness.
The onlookers, gaping at the scene, turned pale with fear.
"Heavens, is this hell on earth?"
"I never imagined, never imagined, that snake-men would be attacked by venomous snakes. I thought their own snakes wouldn't harm them."
"Snakes, being cold-blooded, will do anything when provoked."
Someone pulled out a phone to call the police, only to be stopped by a person next to them.
That person said, "Don't call. Just watch. These snake-men have bullied people for too long. So many kind and innocent people have fallen victim to their wicked deeds. Last week, they released snakes into someone's home, and a newborn baby was bitten to death! Such beasts shouldn't be helped."
Thus, everyone merely watched, and not a single person was willing to call the police.
No one came to their aid.
It was evident how poor She Yong and his men's character was, and how terrible their relationships were!
Entangled by the vipers, She Yong desperately crawled on the ground, inching towards the edge of the fishing net. He tried to escape, but the net was nailed to the ground with stakes, making it impossible to move!
"Let me... out..."
She Yong let out his last strength, crying out piteously, but no one was willing to lend a hand. The darkness of human nature was laid bare at this moment.
Even more terrifyingly, as She Yong opened his mouth, a viper seized the opportunity and slithered directly into his mouth, down his throat, and into his stomach!
"Ugh ugh ugh..."
She Yong couldn't even make a sound. In immense fear and agony, he met a tragic end.
His subordinates met no better fate.
In less than a minute, She Yong and his men were either bitten to death or poisoned by the vipers' potent venom.
Not a single survivor.
The scene was utterly horrific.
Immediately, the members of the X Task Force produced flamethrowers and unleashed them on the vipers, quickly burning the once ferocious snakes to death!
Along with the bodies of She Yong and his men, everything was incinerated.
It was terrifying.
Death was one thing, but to not even have their bodies preserved, the cruelty of these people was truly astounding.
After clearing the scene.
An X Task Force member jogged up to Jiang Lan and said in a low voice, "The evildoers have been dealt with. The bank card containing thirty million is returned to you."
He handed the bank card to Jiang Lan; it turned out the X Task Force had taken the card earlier.
Jiang Lan, trembling, accepted the card.
The X Task Force member continued, "The mission is complete. We will now withdraw."
"Wait!" Jiang Lan called out, asking seriously and cautiously, "Who are you?"
"We are the X Task Force."
Jiang Lan frowned repeatedly. She had never heard this name before. She continued, "Why did you do... all this?"
The X Task Force member replied, "Didn't Manager Jiang call for help?"
"I called? When did I..." Suddenly, Jiang Lan stopped speaking and immediately realized.
She had indeed made a call for help.
It was the phone number Lu Ming had left behind, that very strange phone number.
The other party had not said a word and had hung up. Jiang Lan thought they had no intention of helping her, so she hadn't held out any hope.
But she never expected that they not only helped her but did so in such a brutal and merciless manner.
Who were these people?
And what kind of organization was the X Task Force?
Jiang Lan asked, "So, who do you answer to?"
The X Task Force member smiled, "That is inconvenient to answer. However, I can clearly tell you that in Jinling, anyone who dares to provoke Xun Rong or bully Manager Jiang will pay an extremely heavy price from the X Task Force!"
With that, the X Task Force member turned and left, ascending the rope ladder to the helicopter and flying away with a whirring sound.
They came and went in a hurry.
Leaving only piles of ash behind.
After this incident, the entire city of Jinling was in a panic. Everyone knew that Xun Rong was protected by a powerful X Task Force.
Therefore, the unspoken consensus among everyone in Jinling was: absolutely do not make a move against Xun Rong!
...
Jinling, Heavenly God Island.
Three-Star General Murong Shuang sat quietly on a park bench, leisurely watching the white clouds in the sky.
Suddenly, Deputy General Qin Tong rushed over, "General Murong, something has happened!"
"Hmm?" Murong Shuang said displeவ, "Can't you see I'm resting? What important matter requires discussion now?"
Qin Tong said, "It is indeed very important! General Murong, do you remember the task you assigned to Yuan Chengji? You sent him to deal with Xun Rong and eliminate Jiang Lan! Yuan Chengji spent one million to bribe the snake-man She Yong, using She Yong to cause trouble for Xun Rong."
Murong Shuang nodded, "Yes, so? What's the problem with that?"
Qin Tong swallowed, "There's a huge problem! She Yong and all his men have been eliminated! Eight people, all killed, not a single survivor!"
"What?" Murong Shuang sat up straight, "Murdering people in broad daylight, who dares to be so bold?"
"The X Task Force!"
"Ah?" Murong Shuang's eyes changed instantly, "Are you sure?"
"Yes!" Qin Tong nodded heavily.
For the first time, a hint of fear appeared in Murong Shuang's eyes. The X Task Force was no ordinary unit; they were well-trained, bloodthirsty professional soldiers!
No one knew who they belonged to, nor did anyone know their objectives.
Only one thing was certain: wherever the X Task Force appeared, there would be corpses strewn everywhere, a scene of utter devastation.
Five years ago, the X Task Force had mobilized once, helping the Dragon Warlord attack enemy forces, killing an enemy Five-Star General in a single battle! They were immensely powerful.
As soon as the war ended, the X Task Force vanished.
No one knew where they came from or where they went. They were a unit shrouded in mystery, living in legends.
Moreover, they were all bloodthirsty executioners!
You could provoke anyone, but never the X Task Force. Even Three-Star General Murong Shuang absolutely could not afford to offend them.
Murong Shuang took a deep breath and murmured, "Why did the mysteriously disappeared X Task Force suddenly appear? And why are they protecting Xun Rong and killing She Yong? This is all too bizarre."
