The Ultimate War Of The Apocalypse
Chapter 466 - 459: Zoo

Chapter 466: Chapter 459: Zoo

Satan had disbanded, and everyone had retired.

Now the aliens had invaded, so Satan gathered once again, and everyone came out of retirement.

To Gao Yuan, an onlooker, Satan had in fact reassembled a long time ago, so the absence of such a ceremony didn’t matter now.

But to Satan, and to those familiar with and knowledgeable about Satan, the reassembly of Satan meant a lot.

Gao Yuan and all the able members of Spark Squad were invited to witness; there was no grand ceremony for Satan’s reassembly, but Gao Yang planned to formally reassemble Satan in front of many witnesses, and Spark Squad was the best audience for this.

There were also Sirte and Klaus, as well as Renato, who were some of the best spectators.

However, apart from these people, there were no other spectators.

This was the first time Gao Yuan had seen all the members of Satan. As time passed, people started arriving at the headquarters, and after the last skinny little person entered the tent, Gao Yang casually stood up and said, "Everyone’s here, then... let’s begin."

Gao Yang glanced at the people inside the command room, feeling it was a bit crowded in the tent, so he casually strolled outside, and the people behind him swarmed out after him, all emerging from the tent.

Placing a hand on his forehead, Gao Yang looked up at the sun and then said rather sentimentally, "Back in the day, I was in a plane crash and landed not far from here, and then... I became a mercenary."

With a wistful smile, Gao Yang turned and looked at the people behind him, then he raised his arms and said, "I’m glad I met you, my brothers."

No one spoke; everyone was watching Gao Yang. Gao Yang raised his right hand, curling his ring and little fingers while touching his temple with his index and middle fingers, and he called out loudly, "Satan! All members assemble!"

"Yes!"

"Big Dog!"

Gao Yang began the roll call, calling on Big Dog first. Grolyov stepped forward and bellowed, "Present!"

Grolyov’s voice cracked from shouting.

"Toad!"

"Present!"

Li Jinfang stepped forward, snapped a salute, then stood beside Grolyov.

"Rabbit!"

"Present!"

Rabbit called out in a drawl, standing next to Li Jinfang.

"Little Fly!"

"Present!"

"Tyrannosaurus!"

"Yes, sir!"

Ailin’s response was slightly different; she shouted fiercely and then stood beside Fly.

"Worker Bee!"

"Present!"

"Skunk!"

"Present!"

Gao Yang took a deep breath and roared, "Big Bird!"

"Present!"

"Fox!"

"Present!"

Yake, who had only one eye and whose nickname was originally Fox, had a not very loud voice, but his excitement was obvious.

"Panda!"

The medic stepped forward; he swallowed and shouted loudly, "Present!"

"Turtle!"

A tall, strong man with a prosthetic leg stood in the ranks, saluted Gao Yang, then shouted in Russian, "Present, Turtle is always here!"

"Fat Cat!"

"Present."

"Hedgehog."

"Present!"

Another person Gao Yuan hadn’t seen before.

"Stupid Bear!"

A particularly tall and strong man carrying a sniper grenade launcher bellowed, "Present!"

"Cobra."

"Here!"

Gao Yuan didn’t recognize the person, but now he noticed a problem, which was that everyone in the Satan Mercenary Corps had animal-based nicknames, without exception.

"Pigeon!"

"Here!"

Still unrecognizable, still an animal.

"Bat!"

"Here!"

The Bat was a woman, Satan’s second female member.

"Octopus."

Gao Yang looked at the skinny little man who arrived last, and the man called Octopus shrugged his shoulders and shook his head, then said with a helpless expression, "Why must you call me ’Octopus’? Is ’Number Thirteen’ not okay? Here."

Gao Yang curled his lip and continued to shout, "Cockroach!"

"Here!"

A man whose left hand seemed a little disabled. Okay, there really were a lot of disabled members in Satan, and so far, all of them were named after animals.

Saying it was Satan Mercenary Corps, it was more like Satan’s Zoo.

"Crow!"

Satan’s third female member, the one always inseparable from Rabbit, called out loudly, "Here!"

"Ol’Mouse!"

Satan’s cook shouted, "Here!"

"Wild Duck"

"Here!"

Gao Yang looked toward Jesse Lee, who was sitting in a wheelchair, then loudly said, "Musket... oh no, Coyote."

Jesse Lee shouted, "Here!"

All the names had been called, all of them animals, and it seemed Jesse Lee originally wasn’t, but now he too had an animal nickname.

Gao Yang took a deep breath and then suddenly roared, "Test Tube!"

Gao Yang called out the name, and then, including himself, everyone in Satan who just had their names called shouted together, "Here!"

Gao Yuan understood, this ’Test Tube’, he was dead.

Because if everyone yelled "Here!" during the roll call, it meant the person was definitely deceased.

Gao Yang continued to say, "We are!"

Gao Yang stretched out his hand, and after the others put their hands on top of his, they all shouted together, "Invincible Satan!"

"Satan..."

Most people shouted "Invincible Satan," but just one person, the skinny little man, only shouted "Satan," without the word "invincible."

So after everyone had lifted their hands away, Number Thirteen asked in astonishment, "When did you change the slogan? Also, when did ’Musket’ get changed to ’Coyote’?"

Gao Yang shrugged and said with a laugh, "Just now while we were waiting for you. Who asked you to not show up on time?"

Number Thirteen waved his hand dismissively and then said to Gao Yang, "So, is my sister happy?"

Gao Yang was at a loss for words, and Fly quickly interjected, "Hey, hey, your sister is of course very happy, but this isn’t the time to talk about that, is it?"

Number Thirteen spread his hands, "Then, this sudden call to assembly, is it to have me join the battle too? I’ve said if it’s not something important, don’t bother me."

Gao Yang waved his hands, "You can go back. We just called you to join in. It doesn’t feel right with someone missing."

Number Thirteen frowned, "You haven’t answered my question. Is there something important?"

"Of course, it’s important. Isn’t the reassembly of Satan significant enough?"

Number Thirteen looked irritated, "I mean something genuinely important, like having to kill someone, not this kind of ceremonial stuff that ultimately has no real significance."

Gao Yang said with enthusiasm, "How about saving humanity? Is that important enough?"

"So it’s war?"

"Yes."

Number Thirteen grabbed Gao Yuan and then smiled, "That is indeed very important. So... since you didn’t forget to call me for the assembly, I’ve decided to forgive you. Damn it! I said not to bother me if it’s nothing, but I didn’t say never to bother me! Yet years have passed, and aside from telling me aliens were invading and to rush to this forsaken place immediately, you haven’t made a single call to me! Damn it! And then, after I got here, you left me aside to continue living some crappy reclusive life! Fuck! Fuck! I’ve had enough!"

Gao Yang laughed heartily, "If you were bored, you should have come out and found us earlier. Drinking every day, shooting guns, chatting, how nice that would be. You’re the one who wanted to pursue some inner peace and go into seclusion. And now you’re blaming me? Alright, alright, we have something to deal with now; let’s talk business."
