Chapter 26 "How do you want them to die?"
The hollow water ball expanded around Jiang Jie, covering him in the middle, and the three bullets were wrapped up like before.
The three men immediately took a defensive stance, especially the one whose arm he had reflected the bullet on.
"You're opening the wooden warehouse so recklessly, aren't you afraid of attracting the Altered Species?" Jiang Jie didn't throw the bullet back directly this time. Instead, he reached out his hand, and one of the bullets landed in his palm. He picked it up and said, "You don't think you can handle this thing, do you?"
He was not worried. No matter how many people came, they were all "food" delivered to the little rabbit.
"Hmph, as long as we kill you before the mutants come, your corpses can help us attract attention." Baldy and his men had indeed planned so before, but now seeing his strength, they were a little unsure in their hearts, but they still had to maintain their composure.
"You seem quite confident," Jiang Jie said, playing with the bullet in his hand. "You killed the one inside, too, right?"
"You know it, why don't you kneel down and beg for mercy?" The bald man looked at him warily. While speaking, he glanced at the convenience store behind him, and then winked at his companion who was closer to that side.
The man moved his feet and took a step closer to the store door without making a sound.
Jiang Jie seemed completely oblivious to their subtle movements. He tossed the bullet in his hand and said, "Alright, I'm just afraid you won't be able to bear it and your lifespan will be shortened."
"I, your grandfather, can definitely bear it!" The bald man's expression suddenly became fierce, and he pulled the trigger again.
At the same time, the person behind him turned around and rushed towards the convenience store, intending to capture Lin Mian inside.
The idea of making a feint to the east and attacking in the west was a good one, but unfortunately the person they met was Jiang Jie.
The bullet was caught, and the man behind was also tied up and hung up by the water.
"Why can't you learn your lesson?" Jiang Jie raised his lips.
The water that bound the man behind him spread out like a living being, wrapped around his neck, covered his mouth and nose, and tightened.
The gentle water now became a deadly devil. The man struggled with his legs and felt the water seeping into his mouth and nasal cavity, blocking all his breathing paths and making it impossible for him to make any sound.
In just a few seconds, his face turned red, veins popped out on his forehead, and he was about to roll his eyes.
One of them was so frightened that his legs went weak and he took two steps back unconsciously, his hands holding the wooden canister trembling.
The bald man was able to keep his composure. He gathered himself and said, "What do you want?!"
Jiang Jie chuckled twice, "Whatever you thought just now, that's what I thought."
The bald man's eyes darkened. Damn it, they were about to leave after looting, but when they saw an RV coming, they hid and watched what happened.
Seeing that there were only two people coming down, one of them was a skinny pretty boy, he couldn't help but become greedy and thought of making a killing. However, he hit a wall and the other party was a tough guy.
Seeing his companion hanging on the ground dying, he clenched the gun tightly in his hand and could only start negotiations.
"Brother, let's be merciful. I'll give you supplies and let us go. How about that?"
"Okay," Jiang Jie said generously, "Kneel down and beg for mercy first. I'll consider it."
The bald man's expression twisted. He knew that the other party was playing a trick on them and there was no way the matter could be resolved peacefully.
"Why, you don't want to?" Jiang Yan raised his eyebrows and snapped his fingers.
The man hanging at the back tilted his head and died. His neck was broken by the water.
With a "plop", the body was thrown out like garbage. Jiang Yan glanced at it and said, "Who will be the next one? You decide for yourselves."
The two men were silent, watching him kill so decisively without even blinking, their expressions very tense.
"I'll give you three seconds," Jiang Jie held up three fingers, "If you can't pick, I'll just pick randomly."
As soon as he finished speaking, one of his fingers bent down.
The two men looked at each other, and without hesitation, they turned around and fled in the directions behind them, intending to leave separately.
Jiang Jie stood there without moving, and slowly bent his second finger.
The two had already run several meters away.
He bent his last finger, put down his hand, and sighed as if regretting something.
The winding water flowed out like a snake at a very fast speed. It caught up with the two people who had escaped in almost an instant, grabbed their ankles and pulled them back.
They were hung upside down, and the water was swinging them around like playing with some small animals. The two men finally couldn't help but scream for mercy.
"We were wrong! We were wrong!"
"Brother! Please let us go, I'll give you all the supplies! All of them!"
Jiang Jie raised his hand and rubbed his ears, "It's so noisy."
The next moment, their mouths and noses were blocked by the water and they fell silent.
He raised his eyebrows in satisfaction, turned around and looked behind him, "Lin Xiaotu, come here."
Lin Mian heard his voice, stepped out from behind the wall where he was hiding, glanced at the two people hanging, and walked to his side.
Jiang Yan put his arm around him and said gently, "Tell me, how do you want them to die? Do you want them to be strangled directly, or do you want them to be cut and left here as food for the Altered Creatures?"
The hand on his waist gently stroked him, and the other party's tone was as casual as asking what to eat in the evening. Lin Mian looked up at him and said, "Give them a quick death."
Jiang Yan smiled broadly and touched his cheek, "The little rabbit is so kind."
Almost as soon as he finished speaking, the two hanging people fell silent, the water flow receded, and their bodies fell to the ground.
Lin Mian looked away and closed his eyes.
Jiang Jie reached out and took the spoils that Shui Liu had plundered, and stuffed it into Xiaotu's hand, "Take it and play with it."
Looking at the wooden barrel that was stuffed into his hand, Lin Mian felt it was a little hot. As a law-abiding citizen, he had never touched this thing before.
"Little rabbit," Jiang Jie lifted his chin and stroked his skin with his thumb. "Playing is playing, but don't think about embedding the bullet inside into my head."
Lin Mian quickly shook his head and handed the wooden can back, "Why don't you keep it, Brother Ji. I don't know how to use it."
Jiang Jie took the wooden cannon, turned it around in his hand, and stuffed it back. "Take it, just treat it as a toy. It's okay to shoot it randomly."
Without waiting for anyone to speak, he took him in his arms and walked towards the back of the gas station. "They must have hidden the car in the back. Let's go see what other loot we have."
There is an area behind the gas station, which used to be a car wash area and also has several electric vehicle charging stations.
As Jiang Jie expected, there was indeed a car parked here, and it was a spacious off-road vehicle.
When I opened the trunk, I found that there were quite a lot of supplies. The entire trunk was full, and I also got an extra barrel of gasoline.
He held the trunk door open and turned around to say, "Lin Xiaotu, it's your turn."
Lin Mian nodded, walked forward and put the supplies into the space box by box.
Taking advantage of this time, Jiang Yan went to the front of the car to take a look and found two boxes of bullets, which he took away without hesitation.
In addition, there was a pack of two opened cigarettes on the back seat, which he also took.
Although he doesn't smoke this thing anymore, it will be a scarce commodity in the apocalypse, so it would be nice to exchange it for other supplies.
When he returned to the car, Lin Mian had already packed up his things, so he handed the thing over to him.
Lin Mian reached out and touched it, putting these into the space.
But he couldn't pull his hand back, and it was grabbed and pulled away.
Jiang Jie hooked his arm around his neck and led his men back, saying, "Although we encountered a bit more trouble today, it wasn't without gain."
He also didn't expect that someone would come forward to give him gifts. It was bad luck for them to have offended him.
Lin Mian was taken to the RV by him. When he sat down, he couldn't help but look at the wooden warehouse in his hand over and over again. He had seen it many times on TV, and this was the first time he touched the real thing. It was impossible for him to say that he was not interested.
No matter how soft he looks, he is still a boy and cannot resist the temptation of Mu Cang Ji.
He also tried to open the magazine, and there were two bullets left in it.
"Like?" Jiang Yan glanced at him sideways.
Hearing his voice suddenly, Lin Mian accidentally pulled out a bullet and said a little embarrassedly, "I'm just curious."
After all, he was still a child. Jiang Jie smiled and said, "This is the most common model. It has a short range and average lethality. If you are interested, you can find something else to play with later."
In their previous life, they had looted a lot of wooden warehouses and weapons. In the later period, such things were only rare among ordinary people and were of little use to people with special abilities.
Especially for a powerful psychic like Jiang Jie, his bullet may not be as lethal as one of his water spikes.
At first, I was excited about the rare opportunity to touch a wooden warehouse and was intrigued for a long time. But in the end, I found that it had no special effects, so I never touched it again. All the collected items were distributed to the people below.
"That's unnecessary. It's a waste." Lin Mian fiddled with the handle and put the bullet back in. "I've never touched a wooden magazine before, so I don't know how to use it."
"It's very simple. You'll get the hang of it after trying it twice." Jiang Jie thought it would be good for him to learn a wooden arsenal, which would be useful for self-defense when he was not around. It was a long-range thermal weapon, which was at least better than a knife.
Lin Mian turned to look at him after hearing this, "Brother Ji, can you use a wooden warehouse?"
"Yeah." Jiang Jie replied casually, paused, and added: "All my experience comes from the shooting range. It's a way for me to relieve stress."
Lin Mian suddenly realized. That's what he was saying. How could a law-abiding citizen in peacetime have the opportunity to touch a gun barrel? "A shooting range. My classmates seem to have been there before. It would have been great if I had gone with them. I could have gained some experience."
He used to focus on studying and didn't participate in many extracurricular activities. Now he thinks it's not a bad thing to try more things and see the world.
"It's not too late to learn now." Jiang Jie tapped the steering wheel lightly. It was just right. It was more convenient now. Next time he met someone who was blind, he would hang him up and make him a living target for the little rabbit.
Practicing Mukang with someone who has never touched it before can help him live a little longer, which is a win-win situation for everyone.
Not knowing what terrible things he was thinking, Lin Mian put the wooden can aside for the time being and said, "I'll try it later."
What the other party said makes sense. As long as there is something to learn, it is not too late to start now. It is always good to have more survival skills.
