Chapter 38 Unlocks New Characters
My plan is to make others unhappy in return, and in return, make them unhappy too.
There's no way to avoid it this time, so we might as well confront them head-on, especially since they've already been completely exposed.
"Damn it, I'm freezing! That car just stopped and hasn't moved. Go check it out."
The men lying in ambush on the hill were getting impatient. If they could catch this fat sheep tonight, they could enjoy themselves for a while.
That RV looked incredibly valuable; the people inside must be extremely wealthy. Their team hadn't pulled off a big one in a long time, so they definitely couldn't let this opportunity slip by. If the boss was in a good mood, he might just reward him with the position of second-in-command.
Upon receiving the order, his underlings sped off towards the RV.
"Boss, nothing's wrong. They probably just stopped for a break and have already started moving again and are heading this way."
"You really do have superpowers; you run faster than a car." The man was quite satisfied with the timely news and gave his underling a token compliment.
"It was all because you saved my life that I was able to turn misfortune into good fortune... uh."
"Okay, everyone listen up and get ready."
...
No one answered.
"Are they all fucking dead?"
The man nudged the underling lying next to him. He had been talking to him just moments before, but now he was motionless, as if he were dead.
As the RV drew closer, the man stood up and kicked his henchman. The henchman was thrown to the ground, lying face up to the man, his eyes staring straight up, his eyeballs bulging and lifeless. There was a bloody hole in his neck, and although not much blood was spurting out, it had already frozen into a blood clot in the low temperature.
"What the hell?" The man searched the bodies of several of his underlings and found they had all died in the same way. He panicked and immediately thought of people with superpowers. He had only learned about the existence of superpowers after he unintentionally saved a person who was on the verge of death from a high fever. That person could run as fast as lightning and travel a thousand miles a day.
Now, the bizarre deaths of these people can no longer be considered normal; it's as if someone stabbed them in the throat from the ground. How could an ordinary person do that?
The RV supplies that were once within his grasp have now vanished like a dream, and his life is in danger. Thinking of this, the man's legs went weak, but he still forced himself to run towards the base, not caring about the RV that was approaching him.
Yu Miaomiao and He Liang followed behind the man in the shadows. The man unleashed tremendous potential while fleeing for his life, and his speed was truly impressive. They were left far behind him.
Yu Miaomiao took down a row of people in the shadows. She had just stabbed the last one when the man stood up, causing her to miss.
What a nuisance, and they're running so fast! "He Liang, hurry up, charge! Charge!"
"If you can do it, then you do it. I... can't run anymore."
As the man ran further and further away, He Liang's speed slowed down, and he finally stopped in place.
"I told you not to exercise."
"As a programmer who's going to go bald sooner or later, where would I find the time to exercise?"
"Then let me out!" Yu Miaomiao rolled her eyes so hard they almost flew to the sky. There was only one left; she would chase after him and kill him. She couldn't let him escape back.
"It seems we don't need it anymore."
Lu An's RV turned around and ran straight over the man who was only concerned with escaping for his life.
Before Yu Miaomiao and He Liang could even step forward to check if the man was dead, they heard a gunshot, and a bullet whizzed past them.
Then someone shouted, "Who's there? Hands up, stand up!"
A beam of strong light shone on the RV. He Liang took the opportunity to climb onto the RV from the back and stuff Yu Miaomiao into the RV. If things went wrong, the group would drive over.
"They seem to be from a military base."
Yu Miaomiao recognized the people sitting in the military vehicle ahead.
It was Chu Bai; the one who fired the shot must have been another comrade-in-arms beside him.
In my previous life, I was killed because I spoke a few words to this person.
It wasn't that Yu Miaomiao wanted to talk to this person, but this person would always come and chat with her for no reason. At that time, Yu Miaomiao was a doctor at the base's medical station, and Chu Bai was injured after a mission and sent to the medical station. He was one of the patients that Yu Miaomiao was responsible for treating.
"That's the person who indirectly caused my death in my previous life."
Yu Miaomiao and Lu An had discussed this, so they had no intention of going into the provincial military base under any circumstances. They never expected to run into them here.
"what to do?"
"Try to avoid contact, but it doesn't look like we can leave so easily. An'an, talk to them and say that we encountered robbers while passing by and had no choice but to run them over with our car."
Yu Miaomiao hid inside the space first to prevent those people from coming up to check the car.
Lu An gave me a look that said "Leave it to me," opened the car door, jumped out with his hands raised, stood in the beam of light, and shouted to the other side, "Don't shoot! I'm a law-abiding citizen!"
"What are you doing? Do you know you killed someone?"
Although there are no legal restrictions now, as soldiers, we cannot ignore a murder that is happening right before our eyes.
"I'm innocent, sir! I was just passing by when these people started robbing me. I had no choice but to run into them while trying to escape. If you don't believe me, go ahead and see. There are roadblocks and tire spikes over there, and people are lying in ambush. I'm just a woman, completely helpless. I was really scared."
"Is anyone still on the bus? Everyone, get out."
"I'm the only one."
A man stepped off a military vehicle, his long legs and black military boots landing steadily on the ice.
"Captain Chu, danger."
The man on the other side tried to stop him from getting off the bus, but was stopped.
"It's alright, Xiao Li, you stay here and move around. I'll go check it out. Follow my instructions."
"yes."
Lu An noticed that the man's exposed eyebrows and eyes looked somewhat similar to his own.
His eyes and brows were cold yet resolute. Even though he was wearing a mask, you could still see the high bridge of his nose. Most importantly, like Lu An, he had a mole at the end of his eyebrow, and the position was exactly the same.
Chu Bai was momentarily stunned when he saw Lu An's face clearly, but he quickly recovered and strode forward to open the RV door. Ma Jiang jumped off the vehicle and pounced on the man, clinging tightly to his clothes and opening her mouth to bite his arm that was protecting him.
"Sesame paste, no! Go back."
"Woof..." The dog was unhappy; it wanted to protect its owner.
Sitting in the car, Xiao Li broke out in a cold sweat. He had been bitten by a dog, and it was uncertain whether the rabies vaccination center would be able to administer it.
"Not bad, very obedient." Chu Bai looked around the car, didn't see anyone else, then went to check on the man who had been hit. He was dead, his skull was crushed... He found two guns, a short knife and some bullets on the man's body.
They went to a spot not far behind and sure enough, they saw roadblocks and tire deflation devices.
It seems that, as she said, she was being robbed and had no choice but to hit someone.
Chu Bai had clearly seen two people in the car just now, but now there was only one person. He was even certain that he was not seeing things; he couldn't possibly mistake the outline of a person for the outline of a dog.
That's interesting.
