Side Character Transmigrations: The Final Boss is No Joke

CHAPTER 23

However, before they managed to reach the gates, they were stopped. Ability users blocked their path while the army, bearing guns, cut off their retreat. Shi Sheng’s crew was stuck in the middle. Perhaps they feared those explosives because they did not launch an attack. The two sides fell into a stalemate.

“Boss, there are too many ordinary people here. If we continue bombing, we’ll end up hurting innocents.” Qing Yu looked out the window and frowned as he spoke.

“In a bit, remember to take the opportunity to run. Go find a place and build up a base. It doesn’t need to have a lot of people but all of the people you do take in have to be good at adapting. You know what I’m talking about.”

“Boss?” Her words sounded a bit out of place.

“Here, take this. It’s a spatial storage device. Just get someone to drip blood on it to claim ownership. The stuff inside should be enough for you guys to build the base up.”

The trio widened their eyes. ‘A spatial storage device?! Boss even has this?! Holy fuck, she couldn’t have been sent by the heavens to save the world, could she?!’

“Once the base has been built, remember to make it famous so I can find you guys.”

Shi Sheng finished quickly, “Any questions?”

The three still hadn’t reacted yet. Only after a while did they come to their senses. “Boss, you’re not going with us?”

‘How are we supposed to build a base without Boss?’

“It’s not convenient for me to bring you guys to the capital with me. I have stuff to do there. I’ll be back once I’m done. I expect to be able to hear news about the base by the time I reach the capital.”

Little Fatty raised his hand uncertainly. “Then… what will the base be called, Boss?”

“Of course, we’re using the name of our mercenary band.”

Lin Feng’s lips twitched. “Boss, can you pick a more normal name?”

‘I don’t dare to advertise the base with that kind of name!’

Though in the end, Shi Sheng won, of course.

Shi Sheng stuffed White Tiger into her backpack and got off the truck. She cracked her neck before charging into the ranks of the ability users with her sword in hand.

They hadn’t expected her to just charge in without saying anything, so Shi Sheng got the upper hand at first.

When they finally reacted, they just tossed abilities at her willy-nilly. Though her sword looked like a normal iron one, when it came in contact with their abilities, the abilities were deflected away. This caused them to burn with desire to obtain it. Their gazes turned heated.

“Gu Nan!”

“Cease fire!” A few familiar figures advanced from the military’s side. Shi Sheng paused before putting her sword away and looking at them. The leader was Chang Xin. Beside him were Papa Gu and Mama Gu. They seemed like they had been forced to come along, for both of them had expressions of panic on their faces.

“Ze, so Captain Chang didn’t die.” Shi Sheng’s lips stretched into a mocking smile. “Didn’t waste that hypocritical face of yours.”

Even now when she looked at Chang Xin, the impression he gave was of a good person. Had he died, perhaps Shi Sheng would be more inclined to believe that he had been kept in the dark. But he lived. While everyone else still stuck in the building had died in the indiscriminate bombing.
