Ling Shi always thought Lu Tingxiao was a lunatic. The first time they met, Lu Tingxiao used despicable means to thoroughly tie him up and interrogate him. Whips tore his upper clothing, broke his ...
Purification
"A person trapped in a circle of corrupt people?" Lu Tingxiao sneered. "It's not certain whether he's still alive?"
"Aren't you a shooting champion? Why are your eyesight so bad?"
"That man is dead."
"No, no." Lai Xinyuan waved his hands hurriedly: "He is very skilled and can dodge very quickly. Those corrupt people can't catch him."
"Maybe... there's still a glimmer of hope..."
"Then what are we waiting for?" Ling Shi tightened his backpack and said, "Lai Xinyuan, lead the way."
It can be seen that Lai Xinyuan is actually a very kind-hearted person.
"Wait." Lu Tingxiao pulled him aside and asked in a mocking tone, "Last time you drove a car to rush the rotten crowd, this time, you're using your body instead?"
"Did he build some kind of invulnerable golden bell?"
Ling Shi was speechless for a moment.
Lu Tingxiao's tone sounded very rude: "I remember someone said that they would put their own safety first?
Ling Shi gritted his teeth: "I will be careful this time."
"Yeah." Lu Tingxiao nodded: "After all, there's no tire for you to blow out this time."
He deliberately glanced at Ling Shi's feet: "The soles of the shoes shouldn't be worn out so easily, so you can walk in and out safely..."
Ling Shi was furious: "Shut up!"
"If you don't want to save people, just get out of here!"
After saying that, he turned around and left without even looking back.
Zuo Hao hurriedly shouted: "Wait for us."
After reaching the ground safely, Ling Shi walked out of the building and looked around.
This street is much quieter than the street near the theater. There are residential area walls on both sides, and there is nothing else on the roadside except the crooked landscape trees.
Ling Shi turned his head: "Which direction?"
Lai Xinyuan gripped the gun tightly in his hand: "Follow me."
Perhaps it was because he wanted to reintegrate into the human race, or perhaps it was because there was an immediate hope of saving a life, the determination to die in Lai Xinyuan's eyes diminished a lot, and a bit of youthful vitality appeared in them.
Several people ran towards the east side of the street.
After running a few steps, Ling Shi turned around and saw that Lu Tingxiao was actually following them, not too far away.
He felt relieved.
At the end of the street, they turned left and stopped at the second intersection.
Only a hundred meters away from them, twenty or thirty corrupt people were roaring and circling around a young man.
Ling Shi widened his eyes before he could see the man clearly.
The man was of medium height and thin. He was very fast and dodged among the crowd of corrupt officials.
But he had many scratches on his body, his clothes were torn, and a lot of blood was flowing from the wounds. He looked like he was at the end of his strength.
"Wow," Lu Tingxiao's voice rang in Ling Shi's ears: "He's still alive, incredible."
"However, with injuries like this, it's only a matter of time before it gets infected. There's no point in saving it."
Ling Shi frowned and stared at the group of corrupt people, thinking constantly in his mind.
Although Lu Tingxiao is a bit rude, what he says makes sense.
This person is so badly injured that even if he is rescued, he will be infected and will soon lose his will and become a corrupt person.
Logically speaking, there is really no need to save him.
However, no matter how he tried to convince himself, he could not deny that what was before his eyes was a living human life!
Save?
How to save?
Lai Xinyuan behind him grumbled a few times, then said, "Forget it, it's too dangerous."
Zuo Hao also advised: "That's right, you can't sacrifice yourself just to save others."
Ning Fu even grabbed his arm and said, "Ling Shi, we tried our best."
Ling Shi looked around.
There are quite a few shops on this street, including a medium-sized supermarket and a restaurant with a large sign.
The two doors were open, and empty paper cups, packaging bags, and a lot of cigarette butts were scattered at the entrance.
He looked towards the group of corrupt people again.
Above the crowd, there is a row of small balconies protruding onto the street, with tables and chairs placed on them. It seems to be the restaurant's VIP seats with street views.
A few checkered tablecloths fluttered slightly in the breeze, and a fallen vase with withered roses drooped on the fence.
Ling Shi gritted his teeth, turned to Lu Tingxiao and said, "I want to try."
For some reason, he said this to Lu Tingxiao.
After saying that, he looked at Lu Tingxiao, waiting for his reply.
It’s hard to explain his exact mentality. Lu Tingxiao is often rude and cold-blooded, but sometimes... he gives people a sense of reliability that is out of the ordinary.
He gets crazy over small things, and big things... He occasionally gets crazy over big things too.
But facing this terrifying situation of rushing towards a bunch of corrupt people, Ling Shi inexplicably placed his confidence on Lu Tingxiao.
I hope to hear his attitude.
Lu Tingxiao looked at him. After two seconds, he snorted. After another two seconds, he sighed, "Go."
Hearing these two words, Ling Shi's heart dropped, as if he was tied with a safety rope when he was about to walk on a tightrope to perform acrobatics.
Zuo Hao beside him said hesitantly: "There are too many corrupt people here... We are trapped in a circle, even gods can't get out..."
Lu Tingxiao glanced at him and said, "Encircled? I hope the little hedgehog isn't as brainless as you."
Zuo Hao said "Ah?" and wanted to refute, but he didn't dare.
Ling Shi glanced at Lu Tingxiao and said nothing more.
He quickly rushed into the supermarket across the street, searched the shelves, grabbed a large bucket of cooking oil and ran out.
His plan was to run to the VIP seats on the second floor of the restaurant, pour oil directly on top of the rotten people, and ignite the fire. As long as he could burn half of the rotten people, the pressure on him to save people would be much less.
As for charging into the group of corrupt officials, that is absolutely not to be done.
He didn't have the same agility as the young man, and if he was surrounded by corrupt people from all sides, it would be difficult to escape.
After walking about ten steps along the street, I arrived at the door of the restaurant.
On the sign at the entrance, the gold-plated characters "Juezhiwei - Walai Fish Head Hotpot" are still shining.
But before he entered the door, he saw a young man not far away stagger, his body tilted and fall to the ground.
With a thud, the whole person fell sideways to the ground.
The corrupt people around him paused for a moment, then immediately rushed forward, making strange screams one after another, as if they were having a carnival.
Oh no.
It's too late.
Ling Shi rushed forward a few steps along the street edge and threw the oil barrel in his hand - hitting a corrupted man.
The rotten man let out a strange cry and fell to the ground.
Ling Shi quickly took out the rope gun from his bag and fired immediately. The grappling hook and the rope wrapped around a rotten man, circled twice, and fixed him.
He pulled hard, pulling the corrupt man aside.
Now, the gap between the two corrupt men allowed him to clearly see the young man lying on the ground.
He supported himself on the ground with one hand, raised his head slightly, and tried to get up from the ground.
Not dead.
Ling Shi breathed a sigh of relief.
But the oil barrel in his hand had already been thrown out as an emergency weapon, and the original plan was no longer feasible.
He tilted his head slightly and glanced at Lu Tingxiao behind him.
Then—he clenched his fists, took a deep breath, took a step forward, and rushed towards the group of corrupt officials without hesitation.
There is no other way.
At a nearby corner, Zuo Hao scratched his head and asked fearlessly, "Huh? Brother Lu G..., didn't you say that Brother Ling wouldn't rush in?"
"And they said... that's because of lack of brain..."
He turned his head and saw Lu Tingxiao's expression, and forced himself to swallow the last word.
Lu Tingxiao's face darkened eight shades, just like the colorful black after all the pigments on the palette were mixed together.
He said in a low voice: "Kid, get ready."
Child?
It took everyone a second to realize that his name was Lai Xinyuan.
He was the youngest among those present.
Lai Xinyuan was also stunned for a moment before he realized that he was being called.
He said "Oh", raised his gun and aimed at the group of corrupt officials.
Lu Tingxiao: "Hit."
Biu——
A bullet was fired and hit a corrupted man's temple.
The corrupt man stumbled and fell, revealing Ling Shi's figure inside.
He grabbed the young man's arm and didn't even bother to pull him up or put him on his back, but dragged him out.
The young man's eyes suddenly widened, and his body, which was about to fall apart, was dragged like this, and suddenly a new burst of strength burst out - enough to make him scream.
But even though Ling Shi was fast enough, it was still too late - the corrupt people surrounded them again.
From everyone's sight, his figure quickly disappeared, submerged behind the corrupt people wandering around.
"Oh no!" Zuo Hao shouted loudly: "We're surrounded, we're surrounded!"
He pushed Lai Xinyuan and said, "Shoot quickly, shoot quickly!"
"Shut up!" Lu Tingxiao scolded with a cold face.
Lai Xinyuan glanced at Zuo Hao, then at Lu Tingxiao, and lowered his hands.
Shooting at this time can at most disturb the corrupt people, but it is not very useful.
Lu Tingxiao stood up straight, took a deep breath, spread his palms on both sides of his body, and raised them slightly.
I really owe him.
If it weren't for the fact that he looks so good...
Um?
Lu Tingxiao stopped and looked ahead.
At this moment, a figure suddenly flew out from the crowd of corrupt people, hit the ground with a bang, and then stopped moving.
Everyone's breathing stopped.
No way.
It can’t be Ling Shi.
It won’t be killed so soon!
You can at least hold on for two minutes!
Otherwise, why would you bother to save people?
"It's not him." Lu Tingxiao said slowly, and deliberately glanced at Zuo Hao: "Open your eyes and see clearly, don't start crying so quickly."
He turned his palms downward, his arms drooped slightly, and the corners of his mouth curled up slightly.
"Holy shit." Zuo Hao was the first to shout out, "What a rotten person! I didn't expect my brother Ling to be so awesome!"
Brother Ling didn't expect himself to be so awesome.
Ling Shi stared at the corrupt man he threw out and was stunned for 0.3 seconds.
He was simply grabbed by the corrupt man's arm and couldn't break free, so he subconsciously grabbed it with his backhand and tried to push it away.
Why... was it thrown out...
Throwing it so far...
He even simulated the action again in his mind and came to the conclusion: either he suddenly became a strongman, or the corrupt man suddenly became impotent.
The corrupt man next to him was stunned even longer than him, and did not move for a full two seconds.
Ling Shi took advantage of their stunned state and ran forward two steps.
He grabbed the arm of the corrupt man who was blocking his way.
He'd have to try again.
Sure enough, the rotten man in front of him was visibly wilting, and the energy that had been bursting out of his body with thorns wanting to eat people was instantly lost.
Another one is impotent.
This time, Ling Shi felt that his palm was cold and something was drilling into it.
What's going on?
He swung the weakened man hard and threw him far away.
The rotten man fell to the ground, his body curled up and trembling slightly, unable to get up.
Ling Shi had an idea in mind.
Although he was full of doubts, he was also full of confidence.
I won't fail here.
He dragged the young man who was struggling but still unable to get up with one hand, and grabbed the corrupt man beside him with the other hand.
One, two, just like pulling carrots, three or four were thrown out in a flash.
Every time, something cool would penetrate into the palm of my hand.
The remaining corrupt people retreated with strange cries.
Ling Shi felt a little excited. He dragged the young man past the corrupt people. Seeing that they dared not to make any rash moves, he couldn't help but shout.
He even remembered to pick up the rope gun that had fallen to the ground.
Seeing that he was about to escape the encirclement, he grabbed a corrupted man on the outermost edge and threw him hard.
It didn't move.
Hold.
What's going on?
I felt it again and the cool feeling in my palm was gone.
His magical powers failed?
The corrupt man whose arm he grabbed stared at him, and his dull and rigid expression changed a little, as if he was about to react.
He immediately let go, dragged the young man along and ran, shouting to the people around the corner, "Hey, hey, hey!"
Hurry up and cover the rear.
Otherwise, by the time those idiots realize what's happening, he won't be able to see tomorrow's sun!
Hurry up!
As he shouted, he saw Lai Xinyuan on the opposite side raising his gun.
Biu——
The life-saving bullet arrived and immediately stopped a corrupt man behind him.
Ling Shi quickly squatted down, grabbed the young man's clothes on his chest, lifted him up hard, and threw him onto his back.
Rushed towards the corner.
Lu Tingxiao and his friends had found a pile of cans of cola and beer at some point and piled them up at their feet.
At this moment, everyone picked up the cans, shook them violently, and threw them at the corrupt people.
The corrupt people were dizzy from the frequent explosions around them, and they were running around in all directions like a group of headless flies.
Ling Shi breathed a sigh of relief, carried the young man on his back, ran along the street for more than a hundred meters, and finally met up with everyone.
Walking up to him, Lu Tingxiao glanced at Ling Shi and snorted again: "You're quite lucky."
Ling Shi: "Thank you."
As soon as he finished speaking, he felt his body lose strength, his legs went limp, and he fell to his knees towards Lu Tingxiao.
