Jiang Liyue, on the day she became a shadow queen, was pulled into an infinite-loop novel and turned into the fake heiress who starved to death because she refused to enter the game. Good news: she...
Chapter 336 Intimidation
When Jiang Liyue turned to look at him, Chu Li even turned the tables and reached out to turn her face toward the car window.
"Why are you looking at me? Look outside."
Jiang Liyue: ?
“Dr. Chu,” Jiang Liyue looked at him earnestly, “I think you would be quite suitable to be an actor.”
After all, he has a unique advantage when it comes to playing dumb.
Chu Li looked like he didn't understand.
This guy isn't some aloof, dull, scientific madman at all; he's clearly a master of cunning and ruthlessness.
Jiang Liyue silently grumbled to herself, then simply pretended not to care about him and continued watching what was happening outside the window.
After the group of people knelt down in unison, not only Han Wei, who was in the lead, but also several people in the back of the group were stunned.
It's only been five days since the apocalypse began, and they've really never seen anything like this before.
The sight of more than a dozen people kneeling down together was quite shocking.
The middle-aged woman at the front even hugged Han Wei's leg and started sobbing, "I have children at home. You're so kind, why can't you give us a ride too? Please, I beg you, I know you're all good people..."
Han Wei's face darkened immediately upon hearing this cry.
To be honest, their team had killed people before the apocalypse, but those were all bad guys they killed while on missions.
Han Wei and his companions couldn't bring themselves to attack a group of defenseless people.
This group of people clearly takes advantage of this point to dare to engage in moral blackmail without restraint.
Han Wei, his face dark, took a step back: "Let me go first."
"I already said you can find a car to follow our group. We'll be passing through S City, and you can leave on your own then. Why can't you understand?" Han Wei was practically furious.
I've never felt so frustrated before.
"Even if we get to S City, there are zombies everywhere. Besides, we're not all from S City. You have to send us home. And my daughter, can't you please help me find her?"
"With great power comes great responsibility; this is what you should be doing."
Han Wei said with a dark face, "We're helping you, so you should at least give us something in return, right?"
The man looked completely innocent: "What can we offer? We have nothing, but we will give you our sincerest gratitude."
This time, Han Wei was so angry that he didn't know what to say.
Some of the people in the back of the line were so impulsive that they wanted to rush up and beat someone up, but they were held back by the others.
Jiang Liyue sat in the car and suddenly burst out laughing.
Perhaps because Han Wei and the others were too silent, her laughter was quite noticeable.
At least the group kneeling there heard it.
The one in the lead turned his head directly in the direction of the sound.
Then I saw that sweet and clean-looking girl leaning against the car window.
Even with the leader kneeling on the ground, he could still see the fair and beautiful face of the girl in the car.
His tone became agitated: "You can bring such a weak girl along, why can't you bring us along? Is it just because she's pretty?"
In this man's eyes, Jiang Liyue was completely out of place among the group of tall men on the other side, so what else could she have joined for? It must have been because of her beauty.
Why can they bring along a delicate girl, but not them?
Jiang Liyue didn't expect that she would be affected just by sitting in the car. She ignored the sarcastic remarks of the people on the ground and waved to Han Wei: "Captain Han, come here for a moment."
"What's wrong, Miss Jiang?" Han Wei walked a few steps to the car. "I'm sorry to have dragged you into this."
"Why are you apologizing to me? You kindly added me to the team, and I'm more than grateful to you."
After Jiang Liyue finished speaking, without waiting for his reply, she reached out to him and said, "Captain Han, can I have the gun for a moment?"
Han Wei hesitated. The gun was the one they had signed up for. He glanced at Chu Li, who was very close to Jiang Liyue, almost touching her.
Chu Li glanced at him indifferently: "Give it to her."
“Okay.” Han Wei immediately handed over the gun, not forgetting to remind her, “Miss Jiang, the gun is loaded, be careful it doesn’t go off accidentally.”
Jiang Liyue smiled and took the gun, then politely said to Han Wei, "Captain Han, could you please move to the side?"
Han Wei did as he was told and took two steps to the side.
After he took two steps away, he no longer stood in front of the car window, thus revealing the dozen or so people still kneeling on the ground.
Those people probably hadn't realized what Jiang Liyue was doing yet, and even thought she was pleading for them.
After all, young girls are most easily moved to pity, and seeing so many of them crying so pitifully, they might immediately take pity on them.
Then, they saw the young girl, whom they considered "easily soft-hearted," suddenly raise a gun and point it in their direction—
With a "bang".
The bullet grazed the arm of the middle-aged woman who had just grabbed Han Wei's leg.
The middle-aged woman screamed in pain. Jiang Liyue frowned and smiled, saying, "Oh dear, I'm sorry, I missed."
"What are you doing?!" the leader of the group shouted.
Then Jiang Liyue fired another shot, which grazed his thigh.
Next, she fired several more shots in that direction, hitting the target but not quite completely.
But such marksmanship terrified them even more, as if they were afraid that she might "accidentally" hit them in the head with one shot.
These people finally couldn't kneel any longer and got up from the ground, running around in all directions.
Han Wei and his teammates were absolutely thrilled by this exhilarating scene!
The teammates, who had been feeling a bit frustrated, started following Jiang Liyue's example and started firing their guns at the people behind them.
They were so frightened that they ran as far away as possible.
Jiang Liyue seemed to have had enough fun, and handed the gun back to Han Wei next to her: "Sorry, Captain Han, I've run out of your bullets."
"It's alright, it's alright." Han Wei wanted to say that a few bullets could solve these problems, which was really a good deal.
It should be noted that the weapons for this mission were entirely provided by the safe zone. As a result, we only used some on the way there, and on the return trip, thanks to the medicine provided by Chu Li, we didn't even need to use many bullets.
"Miss Jiang, have you studied marksmanship?" Han Wei noticed that Jiang Liyue's shots were all exceptionally precise.
Jiang Liyue waved her hand: "I've played it before."
She had previously learned marksmanship specifically for a role as a secret agent, and surprisingly, she was still quite proficient after all this time.
"By the way, Captain Han, shouldn't we be leaving now?"
Those people are still fleeing in all directions. If they don't leave now, when will they?
Han Wei knew this too, and yelled at his teammates, "Alright, brothers, get back in the car, let's go!"
The teammates quickly got into the car and stepped on the gas. Those people couldn't even catch up with the car's exhaust fumes.
While Jiang Liyue and the others were in the car, Lao Yang and Zhang Pei, who were originally just watching the excitement from below, got into the car very quickly.
Once the car started moving, Old Yang gave Jiang Liyue a thumbs up: "Miss Jiang, you're really amazing."
"No problem, no problem at all." Jiang Liyue waved her hand modestly. "The only way to deal with this kind of scoundrel is by force. Captain Han and the others can't bring themselves to do it, so I'll do it."
"Actually, if those people say a few more words and Han and the others can't take it, we can resolve the situation," Jiang Liyue added.
Anyway, Han Wei and his group would never bring that group of people with them.
She just found those people annoying and wanted to get things over with quickly.
"That's not how it works. Anyway, it was you who solved it, and you came up with such a brilliant solution in such a short time. You also have excellent marksmanship. Miss Jiang is very impressive," Old Yang praised enthusiastically.
Before he could say anything more, the partition between the front and back rows slowly rose, blocking the sound and view between the two rows.
Old Yang: ? Why did you close the barrier? He wanted to talk to Miss Jiang.
Jiang Liyue glanced silently at the person whose finger had just retracted from the side button.
Unsurprisingly, he was the one who put the barrier on.
“He’s too noisy,” Chu Li said calmly.
Jiang Liyue: ...
Chu Li didn't want to mention any other unimportant people in front of Jiang Liyue.
He had watched the entire scene of Jiang Liyue firing the gun, mainly focusing on her profile: "Yueyue is very smart."
However, he was too soft-hearted. In his opinion, those idiots who couldn't distinguish reality should die.
Jiang Liyue said regretfully, "If we had just killed two of them on the spot as a warning to others, the effect would have been even better."
Chu Li's eyes lit up when he heard her words.
So Yueyue thought the same thing as him?
