139. Negotiation Breakdown
As Li Aozi finished speaking, only the howling of frost and sand remained.
"...Are you fucking kidding us!?"
Mechanic Yin Xifeng roared, followed by a displeased driver Zhang Shengnan, who immediately aimed the machine gun at Li Aozi on the ground.
"What a pity—seems like a Frost-Plated man is just a Frost-Plated man, always taking advantage when given a little."
Captain Uzdar shrugged:
"Mr. Li Aozi, it seems you don't understand what 'alive or dead' means—it means you can be tortured to the brink of death, and no one will care."
"Really?"
Li Aozi chuckled, then changed his tone:
"Then it seems you don't want a live hostage."
His voice was magnetic, and his handsome face made it hard to look away. Every word was imprinted clearly in the crew members' minds.
With a practical benefit of up to 88.4, his extraordinary charisma was almost like a magical power or enchantment to ordinary people.
"—Hostage?"
The Wolverine crew exchanged glances.
"Du Zexin, a Beta-rank 【Mechanic】, an elite agent of Law III."
Li Aozi said calmly:
"Your intelligence should know I'm an Omega Energy user. I've already used my Omega Energy to create a blood clot in his brain. If I die, my Omega Energy will fail, and the clot will explode, killing him instantly."
This statement was half-true. Li Aozi remembered Du Zexin's injury symptoms, making lying easy.
These soldiers, though not as clever as Du Zexin or the professor, were much more cautious in serious matters than the Law IV agents.
"Of course, I'm willing to surrender and hand over the hostage. I don't expect to escape, just take me away from the outside world."
Li Aozi said:
"You've destroyed the tracks, I have no way to escape. Please take me away, I don't want to die in this desolate wilderness."
He didn't hope to deceive them off the mobile armor; he just wanted to buy more time.
Especially, it would be best if he could delay long enough to send away Meibi.
Meibi was seriously injured, and this was an opportunity to send him back—Li Aozi believed that with Du Zexin's intelligence, he could get by more easily than himself.
