[WDIDWAMGB] Chapter 83: I Hope You are Really Healthy

In the faint light of dawn, a white van drove into Li Yexing's base, while Li Yexing and his group were waiting in formation in the courtyard.

The van stopped, and a bald middle-aged white man wearing a blue T-shirt and glasses hopped out of the car. He reached out his hand toward Li Yexing and said, "You must be Mr. Li?"

"Yes, that's me." Li Yexing replied, shaking hands with the man.

The bald man smiled awkwardly and pushed his glasses up his nose as he looked at the row of people in front of him - the silver-haired girl, the gray-haired girl, the young Asian man... Wait, who was this blonde guy with a curtain haircut?

Frowning, the bald man couldn't recall seeing him in the dossier. He turned to Li Yexing and asked, "Excuse me, who is this gentleman?"

"Oh," Li Yexing pointed to Leon and replied, "He is my apprentice."

The man was taken aback. He turned to look at Leon, then back at Li Yexing, and whispered, "Mr. Li, we agreed on the commission in advance..."

"It's all right. I won't ask for more money," Li Yexing said.

"Good to hear that," the bald man's face lit up again, and he introduced himself to Li Yexing, "I'm John Jones. You can call me John. I'm sorry to have come so early to pick you up, but it couldn't be helped. Rebel Forces took over the nearby town of Erma last night, and we had to take advantage of their relaxed vigilance to come and pick you up."

"I understand," Li Yexing said with a smile. He didn't tell John about his and Leon's encounter in the small town last night. Instead, he just smiled and said to the bald man, "After all, we have to work in this shithole. If it were me, I would be cautious too."

"It's great that you understand," John said with a happy smile. "They say mercenaries are a bunch of barbarians. I was quite worried before I came, but now I'm not. When I saw Mr. Li, I knew he must be a gentleman."

'A gentleman? Why does that sound so familiar? Wait... Where did the previous guy who called me a gentleman go?' Li Yexing remembered a certain someone that hired him in the past.

Ignoring Li Yexing's slightly awkward expression, the bald man smiled and said, "We shouldn't delay any longer. Shall we go now?"

"No problem. We're ready," Li Yexing nodded, then turned to Rita and said, "Go drive, Rita."

Soon, Rita took the driver's seat, while Lilith sat in the passenger seat. Li Yexing and Leon got into the back compartment and closed the half-compartment door.

Li Yexing's big truck followed John's white van, slowly starting to move.

Sitting in the compartment, Leon said to Li Yexing, "Honestly, I think you're more like an arms dealer than a mercenary."

Initially, Li Yexing thought he would stay at the base for a while. However, on the night he arrived, Rebel Forces raided a nearby town. After receiving a notification from Tricell Pharmaceutical that they would pick him up and provide early support, he had to immediately ask Lilith and Rita to help move the things in the cellar back. Leon volunteered to help and then was stunned to see the weapons and equipment piled up in the cellar.

"So, are you carrying all this equipment just to kill a terrorist?" Curiously, Leon asked while holding the HK-416 from Li Yexing and wearing the bulletproof vest from Li Yexing.

"I'm really just going to kill a terrorist, and then go home," Li Yexing replied.

"That sounds like you're using a cannon to kill a fly," Leon said.

"This is called being prepared." Li Yexing shrugged. "If we had gone out like usual with just an AR-15, we would have been done for yesterday."

"Speaking of yesterday..." Leon paused and said, "I've been afraid to ask, but those two girls with you, they're both B.O.W.s, right?"

"Why, do you have any objections to my wives?" Li Yexing asked.

"No... to be honest, I'm not that narrow-minded," Leon said, looking a bit conflicted. After a while, he slowly said, "But aren't you afraid? After all, B.O.W.s can be cute girls one second and who knows what next..."

Li Yexing looked at Leon and said softly, "Not afraid, we three have been through it and did it."

Leon's expression gradually became horrified to the naked eye, and he whispered, "I think I must have misheard... What did you just say?"

"You didn't mishear, we all did it." Seeing Leon's incredulous expression, Li Yexing repeated his words.

"Listen... brother, listen... oh, damn..." Perhaps shaken by Li Yexing's remarks, Leon became a bit incoherent, and after a while, he said, "Seriously, your sexual fetish is terrible. I strongly suggest you go to the BSAA for a check-up."

"Why? I feel fine." Li Yexing replied.

"No, you can't just look good on the surface. I hope you're really healthy..." Leon looked very worried and said, "I don't want your intestines to suddenly start talking when you have your appendix removed someday, that would scare the surgeon to death."

"My intestines won't talk, and neither will my girls' intestines..." Li Yexing said expressionlessly, "Are you talking about some third-rate horror movie plot?"

"Listen, Li, I don't care where you got your B.O.W.s as your henchmen or wives..." Leon patiently said to Li Yexing, "I just think that existences like them should be under the control of relevant departments. It's too dangerous to let them run around outside."

"Like Sherry Birkin in Raccoon City and Manuela in South America?" Li Yexing asked back.

Leon was instantly speechless. After a long time, he asked in a low mood, "How do you know about them?"

"Because of some work-related matters, I had some private dealings with a member of the US Special Forces. He told me these things, and I think if he knows, you might know too..." Li Yexing casually said, "That guy's name is Krauser."

Krauser, a soldier who excessively pursued B.O.W. power, was originally a member of U.S. Special Forces but later turned to serve Saddler for power. He and Leon worked together to deal with a Biohazard incident that occurred in South America. They rescued Manuela infected with the T-Veronica virus in that operation. After joining Saddler, Krauser appeared in Resident Evil 4 and was beaten by Leon and Ada, the dog couple.

Yes, they were bullying a dead man who couldn't speak.

"You actually know Krauser?" Leon was surprised.

"What? Do you know him too? I haven't seen that guy in years. Do you know what he's been busy with lately?" Li Yexing lied with his eyes wide open, taking advantage of the situation.

"Krauser..." Leon's face showed a hint of nostalgia, and he whispered, "That guy was consumed by his own desires in the end. I killed him with my own hands."

"That's really... a pity..." Li Yexing shook his head, pretending to be lamenting, but he didn't really care. 'The one who killed Krauser was your wife, what are you pretending here for?'
