Chapter 59 Tornado Volume 2 [The Male Protagonist Begins to Reveal His True Nature]...

The power outage caused by the tornado has lasted for five days.

From the very first day, everyone was laughing and joking with each other.

The next day, I was speechless. "It's too cold, and I've caught a cold with a runny nose. I don't have any medicine at home, and I can't buy any at the pharmacy."

On the third day, she was driven to despair: "When will this power outage end? I can't even take a shower, I feel so uncomfortable all over!"

On the fourth day, I broke down. "I never imagined that one day I would freeze to death in this city. To keep warm, I even dismantled all the wooden chairs in my house!"

On the fifth day, despair set in. "When will this end? Will the power be cut off forever?"

Some people can no longer see the future. They're going on a crazy doomsday party, planning to go wild one last time before they die.

That day, Yunxin sat on the sofa as usual, browsing trending topics on her phone.

Suddenly, goosebumps rose on my skin, and I felt a chill run down my spine; my level of danger had reached "C".

"Xinxin!" Xiao Wei called her name and rushed into the living room in a panic.

At the same time, the living room window shattered. A small object flew rapidly towards her.

In a flash, Yun Xin stretched out her right hand and grabbed the hidden weapon.

She opened her hand, and a bullet lay quietly in her palm.

At that moment, gunshots rang out again outside the window.

Gunshots, the sound of breaking glass, and the screams of residents mingled together, creating an exceptionally eerie atmosphere.

"...I'm going out for a bit."

Before Yun Xin could stop him, Xiao Wei braced himself on the railing of the open-air balcony, and with a few leaps, he landed safely on the ground.

At that moment, a man was holding a rifle and indiscriminately firing into the residential area.

He would always show a look of ecstasy when he heard the sound of breaking window glass, the screams of the residents inside, and the sounds of painful struggles.

After firing all 30 bullets in the magazine, the man planned to change to another magazine and continue.

However, before he could even pull out his magazine, Xiao Wei had already punched him.

"What are you doing! I have a rifle!" the man bluffed, trying to intimidate his opponent with the rifle's empty magazine.

As a result, Xiao Wei stepped forward, snatched the rifle, crumpled it into a ball, and threw it away like trash.

“A superpowered person…” The man’s expression gradually turned to terror. “This is a misunderstanding. I did not mean to attack you.”

Xiao Wei remained silent, only punching the man repeatedly... as if venting her anger.

The man, writhing in pain, cried out, "I apologize! I... I sincerely apologize to you! Stop hitting me!"

Xiao Wei grabbed the man's hair, her eyes icy cold. "Do you know what you've done? You almost killed her by mistake!!"

Although the man didn't know who he had almost accidentally killed, at that moment, driven by biological instinct, he decisively admitted his mistake, "I was wrong, I shouldn't have gone crazy and indiscriminately opened fire..."

Before he could finish speaking, he was kicked away and crashed into the wall.

The man coughed up blood, collapsed on the ground, and couldn't get up. He felt as if all his internal organs had been displaced.

Xiao Wei was about to hit again when the sound of police sirens grew closer.

“When we need them, they’re never there. But when we don’t want them in the way, they show up faster and faster.” Xiao Wei cursed under her breath and pushed the man down.

Shortly after, the police car stopped, and officers quickly surrounded the two men, brandishing guns and shouting, "Don't move!"

"The villain who's indiscriminately firing rifles is here!" Xiao Wei shouted. "I've already subdued him! Come and help me!"

The police officers exchanged glances.

Two people quickly stepped forward and subdued the assailant.

But the gun wasn't put away. The captain demanded, "Who are you? Why are you here?"

Xiao Wei smiled kindly, "My name is Xiao Wei. I awakened superpowers and couldn't stand by and watch bad guys commit crimes, so I came here specifically to stop them."

He spoke with an air of righteousness and appeared awe-inspiring, saying, "I was just doing what a citizen should do, no need to thank me."

Even though Xiao Wei said that, he was still taken back to the police station for investigation because he appeared at the crime scene and his behavior was too suspicious.

A neighbor testified, "First there was a gunshot. After hearing the gunshot, I peeked out and saw the man on the ground firing a gun. Then a superhuman appeared out of the sky and knocked the assailant down."

The test revealed that the trigger of the rifle only contained the fingerprints of the man who had fallen to the ground.

At this point, the case was completely clear.

An ordinary citizen opened fire indiscriminately with a gun, and a kind-hearted citizen with superpowers stepped forward to stop the former's illegal act.

"You beat him up way too hard..." a young policeman couldn't help but say.

“Officer,” Xiao Wei said coldly, “he has a gun. Even though I’m a superhuman, I’m still afraid of guns.”

The captain beside him told the young policeman to shut up, "According to incomplete statistics, the gunman caused 2 deaths and 14 injuries. In order to stop his evil deeds, it would be reasonable to kill him on the spot."

The young policeman lowered his head in shame.

The captain apologized to Xiao Wei, saying, "He's just a kid and doesn't know any better. Don't take what he said to heart."

Xiao Wei turned her face away, not wanting to speak.

The investigation concluded, and Xiao Wei was acquitted and released.

As the man with the gun passed by the interrogation room next door, he caught a glimpse of Xiao Wei and was immediately filled with shock and fear. "I confess, I confess everything! Please don't let him near me!"

The police officer in charge of the interrogation realized something was wrong and deliberately said, "That depends on whether you cooperate or not."

The man with the gun nodded vigorously, "I'll cooperate, I'll definitely cooperate. I was unemployed, in debt, and about to be evicted because my rent was due. All sorts of things piled up, which is why I couldn't think straight."

“I also joined a group, and many people in the group feel the same way I do: that the world is absolutely terrible.”

"Someone said he had connections to get bombs and guns. If everyone wanted, they could go crazy before they died. I was tempted when I heard that..."

Realizing the seriousness of the situation, the police repeatedly asked, "You only bought the rifle, what about the bomb? Did you buy it? Where did the money come from? How was the transaction conducted? What is the other party's contact information?"

The gunman confessed, "I also want the bombs. I'll plant them at three locations: xx, xxx, and xxxx, and set the time in advance."

“He didn’t ask for money, he just said that if any group members wanted it, he would send it to them.”

"I don't know how he did it, but as long as a group member provides their real address, a package will suddenly appear at their door at a certain time on a certain day, with the group name written as the recipient."

"He communicates through group chat. He doesn't allow private chats with friends, but anyone who wants guns or bombs can message him privately."

The police then asked, "When will the bomb explode?"

The man with the gun avoided eye contact. "One in five minutes, one in fifteen minutes, and one in twenty-five minutes."

"Damn it!" the policeman cursed under his breath, abruptly stood up, and informed his colleagues.

Hearing that there was a bomb, everyone went crazy and contacted the bomb disposal department as quickly as possible to defuse it.

The young policeman was momentarily stunned. "If the superpowered person hadn't scared the criminal, would he have told the truth so easily?"

The captain didn't answer directly, only saying, "Let's go, let's defuse the bomb first."

On the other side.

When Xiao Wei left the police station, he found Yun Xin already waiting at the door.

"How did you end up in the police station after just one trip out?"

Xiao Wei hung his head and admitted his mistake.

"Actually, I don't need to ask. I already know you went to stand up for me." Yun Xin reached out to take Xiao Wei's hand. "Let's go home."

Xiao Wei suddenly hugged Yun Xin and said in a muffled voice, "You absolutely cannot get hurt."

“In fact, even if a bullet hit me, it would probably only leave a shallow mark and wouldn’t penetrate my skin,” Yun Xin said.

Xiao Wei: ?

"It's true, my defense is very high, and ordinary attacks can't break through it," Yun Xin explained. "However, I've never used it since I gained superpowers, so I'm not sure."

She usually runs away as soon as she senses danger.

Xiao Wei paused for a moment, then returned to his normal demeanor, "This is a good habit, Xin Xin must continue to maintain it."

"Let's go, let's go back."

Bathed in the glow of the setting sun, the two shadows intertwined, creating a remarkably harmonious scene.

Power was restored on the eighth day.

However, before things could return to normal, the driven citizens had already caused countless disturbances. School shootings, indiscriminate shootings on the street, subway bombings... the entire federal government was gripped by fear.

Incidentally, on the night he went to the police station, Xiao Wei received a system notification.

[Congratulations to the player who successfully survived instance number 141230 – “Terrorist Attack Incident”.]

[Congratulations to the player for directly saving 28 humans and indirectly saving 163 humans. Level completion rating is "S". Attribute points rewarded: Strength +0.3, Agility +0.3, Constitution +0.3, Spirit +0.3.]

Your current attributes are: Strength: 8.1, Agility: 7.6, Constitution: 8.8, Spirit: 6.7.

With power restored, Yunxin planned to go to the supermarket to buy some food, drinks, and other necessities. Some of the things she had stocked up on before had already been used up.

Just before I was about to leave, I received a new interview invitation.

“You go to the interview first,” Xiao Wei said, “I’ll take care of things at home.”

Yunxin then felt relieved and went out.

Xiao Wei cleaned the house first, and then went to the supermarket to shop.

While shopping, a suspicious man in a black suit peered at him from behind. Looking at Xiao Wei, the man scrutinized him closely but then hesitated, as if he couldn't recognize him.

Xiao Wei pretended not to know him and paid the bill himself.

Underground parking lot.

Liu Yi had been following all the way, but when they reached a corner, he was suddenly pinned down, his cheek pressed against the car's surface.

"Brother Xiao, it's me! It's me, Xiao Liu!" Liu Yi shouted.

That familiar skill is definitely Brother Xiao.

Xiao Wei showed no intention of letting go, only asking, "Why are you following me?"

“After you left, the boss encountered danger several times, and he wanted to call you back,” Liu Yi confessed honestly.

"I'm not going," Xiao Wei replied, releasing the person and walking straight ahead.

"No, Brother Xiao, think it over again." Liu Yi grimaced in pain but still followed behind. "The boss is so good to you! He gave you a tenth of his fortune! You'll never find such a good boss again..."

Xiao Wei stopped and turned around. "Letting me go back is the boss's wish. Staying is my personal decision. If you understand, leave now. I have nothing more to say to you."

"No, please!" Liu Yi persisted like a leech. "The boss is in grave danger lately, he's been on the verge of death several times, he really needs you!"

Seeing that Xiao Wei remained unmoved, Liu Yi changed his approach to persuading her, "Why don't you think about what you want? If you help the boss get through this difficult time, he will definitely help you get what you want."

Xiao Wei: "I want to marry the person I love. Tell me, how can the boss help me?"

Liu Yi: ? ? ?

If you had the chance to make any wish, would marriage be the only thing you think of?

Liu Yi's behavior was too obvious, so Xiao Wei beat him up without hesitation.

"Didn't your teachers teach you when you were a child to respect other people's dreams?"

"Stop, stop!" After receiving the "education of love," Liu Yi's eyes were swollen, and his ideological awareness had also increased. "I swear! I will treat every dream equally!"

Xiao Wei paused.

Liu Yi noticed this and immediately became even more enthusiastic, blurting out, "Whether your dream is to marry the person you love, be a rich woman's puppy, a stay-at-home husband, or be kept by a rich woman and live off her, I will respect it all!!"

Xiao Wei: He's subtly criticizing me.

Xiao Wei raised his fist to strike again, and Liu Yi almost cried out, "In my heart, your dream is just as great as other people's dream of becoming a doctor or a policeman! You and your girlfriend are a perfect match!!"

They are a good match, which is undeniable.

Xiao Wei lowered his fist and brought up the old topic again, "Can the boss help with getting married?"

"I...this..." Liu Yi had no words to express his suffering.

Before he arrived, the boss gave him extensive authority, stating that money was no object as long as he could bring the person back.

Liu Yi realized that money wasn't the issue. The problem was that Brother Xiao wasn't going to talk to him about money! He wanted his boss to help him get married! And the woman seemed to be specifically chosen! This... this...

Seeing that Liu Yi was speechless, Xiao Wei said bluntly, "Useless."

Whether it refers to Liu Yi or the boss, only heaven knows.

Liu Yi had a sudden inspiration and said seriously, "Brother Xiao, if you want to pursue a girl, you can't act like this in front of her. Look at your temper, you hit and curse people, which girl wouldn't be afraid of you? She might even think that she will be abused after marriage."

“Violence is not my interest. My interest is to return every penny I’ve received to the other party.” Xiao Wei said with a half-smile.

"Hahaha." Liu Yi felt a chill run down his spine, but he forced a laugh. "Strange, why is Brother Xiao treating me like this? Did I accidentally do something wrong?"

"The perpetrator can really forget what they've done so easily," Xiao Wei said softly, but her eyes were sharp.

"When I first reported for duty, you saw that I was thin and said you would 'teach' me proper manners. But your so-called 'rules' are just that the one with the biggest fist can arbitrarily discipline those who are weaker than him."

"Since that's the rule, even if you find yourself in a weaker position, you should still follow the rules properly."

"You can't just talk about rules when you have the upper hand in terms of strength, and then talk about equality when you're weaker than others."

"That's not good."

Liu Yi shuddered, his palms sweating profusely. He forced a smile and said, "That happened? I don't remember."

"Brother Xiao, if I upset you before, I apologize here. Please don't take it to heart."

"Don't worry too much about life, just be happy. Forget the unhappy memories of the past, and you can be happy."

Liu Yi rambled on and on, but Xiao Wei only glanced at him and remained silent.

Finally, Liu Yi shut up, stood obediently, and bowed his head to admit his mistake.

"You're only obedient to me because I'm better than you," Xiao Wei said casually. "There's nothing to feel aggrieved about. I'm just treating you the way you used to treat me."

"Yes, yes, I deserve it," Liu Yi shamelessly admitted.

He suddenly realized that if he continued negotiating, he might not only fail to complete the work assigned by his boss, but he himself might also perish here.

To survive, you might as well throw away your pride.

"If you have nothing else to say, get out," Xiao Wei said coldly.

Liu Yi felt as if he had been granted a pardon and disappeared in a flash.

Xiao Wei stood there, then suddenly laughed. "If returning everything I've suffered turns me into a violent maniac, then just how cruel has this world been to me?"

He once told Yunxin that his workplace was great, with room and board provided and a high salary.

—After he subdued all those who disagreed with him, life indeed turned out that way, and everyone was very kind to him.

Before he has the ability to protect himself, or before his extraordinary fighting strength is revealed, the only person who will treat him kindly and amicably is Xinxin.

"This world is so filthy it's disgusting." Xiao Wei was so frustrated that she wanted to grab Liu Yi back and kick him a few times.

But he held back.

The law cannot control evildoers, but it can restrain good people who have emotional attachments.

He still had something to ask for; he didn't want to perish with the world.
