Chapter 28 "It should be like this, have you learned it?"
This small county town where there are more alienated creatures than living people may be hell for others, but it doesn't matter to Jiang Jie.
He even felt it was easier not to have to deal with those unpredictable people.
Although this place is small, it has sufficient supplies. Perhaps because it fell so quickly, many people did not have time to loot and plunder.
Now that there are alienated creatures everywhere, it is difficult to go out again.
They stayed here for at least two or three days without meeting anyone outside.
However, an alien creature would emerge from time to time and provide them with a lot of crystals.
After Lin Mian finished absorbing the energy in his hand, he opened his eyes in surprise and said, "Brother Jie, the space has expanded by another square meter."
Including yesterday's space, his space is now seven square meters. He himself did not expect the speed of increase to be so fast.
Seeing his joyful expression, Jiang Jie raised his hand and patted his head. "Very good."
The reason for this speed is that the C-level crystals are currently of great use to him, but as his strength grows, more and more supernatural energy will be required, and the effect of these crystals will become smaller.
For example, Jiang Jie used these crystals like pouring a glass of water into the ocean. The energy replenished by the crystals could not keep up with his own recovery speed.
I just don’t know to what extent Lin Mian’s ability will grow. In the previous life, the space ability user in their base could only create a space the size of a basketball court in the end, and it was difficult for him to advance any further.
Not all of these awakened people with special abilities can reach the top, just like there are always top students and poor students in a class, and special abilities can be good or bad.
Moreover, the former can still move forward through acquired efforts, but the strength of the latter is determined from the moment of awakening. Once the ability reaches the limit, it will stagnate, and no amount of effort will be of any use.
When Linmian's space expanded to ten square meters, the speed did slow down, and more and more crystals were needed.
He was a little frustrated about this, but he soon figured it out and realized that he shouldn't rush things. He was already luckier than most people just because he could awaken his superpowers.
In order to collect more crystals, Jiang Jie has even become a bit bloodthirsty these past two days. None of the mutants he encountered could escape. It can be said that he was completely chasing the mutants.
He even found and killed the alien creature in the hotel at the beginning.
Perhaps it was because of his action, which was equivalent to a major cleanup, that the number of alienated objects in this small county dropped sharply. They even saw people who dared to go out to look for supplies.
However, the other party was sensible and avoided them when they saw them from a distance and did not come close.
Lin Mian felt that in the eyes of the other party, Jiang Jie might be more terrifying than the alien creature.
"Why are you not concentrating on driving? What are you thinking about?" Jiang Yan, who was leaning on the passenger seat, raised his hand to support his head and looked at him lazily.
Hearing the voice, Lin Mian withdrew his thoughts and quickly gripped the steering wheel tightly.
During the few days he stayed here, he was not only working hard to improve his superpowers, but also learning how to drive.
He is a smart guy, a quick learner, and picks things up quickly.
Maybe it’s because when learning to drive now, I can avoid all the miscellaneous things and get straight to the point.
In short, he was already able to drive a small car quite steadily, and they had picked up some cars randomly on the road to practice.
At first he was very nervous and didn't dare to drive, especially since Jiang Jie was sitting next to him.
But once anything starts, it becomes much easier.
But the fact that he was able to become proficient so quickly was actually due to the fact that he encountered an alien creature during driving practice. In a panic, people can always unleash more potential.
Jiang Jie probably had this idea in mind. He was sitting in the passenger seat at the time and could have taken action to deal with the alien creature, but he chose to stand by and watch.
He leisurely watched him operate the car in a clumsy manner and escape through the streets and alleys, not caring at all whether he would crash due to operating errors.
In the end, after he finally killed the alien creature, Lin Mian's hands and feet became weak and trembled.
He even felt that he was not as tired as having sex with a man once.
He didn't want to recall the consequences of this sentence blurting out when he was extremely tired and confused. He really thought he was going to die in bed at that time.
All in all, he has now successfully learned to drive, but if he wants to drive a motorhome, he still needs some time to adapt.
"Brother Ji, when are we leaving?" Lin Mian asked before getting out of the car after returning to where they parked the RV.
This small county town is not very big, and they have almost searched everywhere in the past few days. It seems that there is not much point in staying here any longer.
Jiang Jie did have plans to leave, "Tomorrow."
"Okay." Lin Mian nodded, and when he reached out to pull the door handle, he suddenly stopped and looked back at the passenger seat.
Jiang Jie was still leaning on his seat in the same lazy manner as before, without moving. It was obvious that he had discovered something at the beginning and had no intention of getting off the bus immediately.
"Brother Jie?" Lin Mian called him with a questioning look.
"Don't worry," Jiang Yan tapped his fingers on his leg again and again, "Let's see if he can pry it open."
They are brave enough to go out. Instead of searching for supplies in shopping malls and supermarkets, they actually set their sights on their RV. Should we say that they are smart or stupid?
"Fuck! Why is this car door so hard to pry open!"
After trying for a long time to pry it open without success, the other party was obviously getting anxious.
"Damn it, just find a stone and smash the glass!"
Hearing his increasingly irritable mumbling, Jiang Jie stopped tapping his fingers and said, "Let's go and meet our guests."
He was the first to open the door and get out of the car. He didn't hold back when closing the door, and there was a loud "bang".
The man heard the noise, cursed, and turned around to find a place to hide.
A stream of water came out from nowhere and wrapped around his ankles. He felt a chill and stopped subconsciously. Before he could look down, he was suddenly pulled by a strong force and fell face down on the ground with a "thump".
"ah!!"
His face hit the ground, causing him to scream. He raised his head, covered his nose, and touched his hand, which was covered in blood. "Who the hell... Fuck!"
Before he could finish his words, he was dragged backwards. He was wearing thin clothes in summer, and most of his skin was rubbing against the rough ground outside, causing him to grimace in pain.
When I finally stopped, almost my entire arm was scraped off.
He gasped and wanted to curse, but a pair of feet wearing sneakers appeared in front of him.
He was stunned and slowly raised his head.
Jiang Yan put his hands in his pockets and looked down at him. He looked to be in his early twenties, with dyed blond hair and four or five earrings on one ear.
He didn't look like he was having a good life. He was pale and thin, and with his hair color, he looked like a stunted monkey.
The only saving grace is that the water source in the county town is usable and relatively clean.
Jiang Jie stretched out his foot and stepped on his hand.
"Ah!!!! Brother! Big brother! I was wrong!!" The yellow-haired man felt that his hand bones were about to be broken by his kick. He screamed and wanted to pull his hand away, but he didn't dare to pull it out forcefully.
"You're still full of energy, and you don't look like you're starving to death." Jiang Yan bent down slightly and put more force on his feet.
"I, I really know I was wrong..." Huangmao was in so much pain that he didn't even have the strength to scream. His forehead turned pale and his face was covered in cold sweat. He was sure that his hand bones must be broken.
Seeing his miserable state, Jiang Jie finally retracted his foot and rubbed the sole of his shoe on the ground.
Lin Mian looked at the twisted fingers of the man on the ground and couldn't help but hiss, feeling a dull pain in his hand.
Huangmao withdrew his hand, hugged it to his chest, gritted his teeth and couldn't say a word.
"You're so brave to steal from me."
As Jiang Jie spoke, he moved his hands and a stream of water wrapped around his neck, pulling and forcing his face to lift up.
Huang Mao's face was covered with snot and tears from the pain, and he looked miserable and ugly. "I, I was just bewildered for a moment. I won't dare to do it again, never again!"
Before the apocalypse, he was a scoundrel who did not work properly. After the apocalypse, he lived an even more miserable life, stealing supplies from the elderly and weak neighbors around him to survive. Although his life was not comfortable, at least he would not starve to death.
There is very little food left recently, so today I went out to look for some supplies while the number of alien creatures has decreased in the past two days. However, I saw this RV on the way, and I became greedy. I planned to do some of the petty thefts I used to do before and steal the car.
Who knew its owner would come back so soon, and what a tough guy he is.
"I don't care why you did it," Jiang Jie ignored his argument, "If you dare to steal, you'll have to leave one hand behind."
Hearing what he said, Lin Mian turned around and glanced at the car parked next to him. Actually, this car was also stolen by them...
When the yellow-haired man heard this, he looked at his hand with twisted knuckles.
Jiang Yan seemed to see through his thoughts and dashed his hopes, "This doesn't count."
"Brother, I..."
The yellow-haired man wanted to say a few more words to save himself, but his mouth was directly covered by the water and he could only make a "mmm" sound.
At the same time, his whole body was hung up, with his feet dangling in the air, not touching the ground, which made his heart pound.
Jiang Jie ignored him and hooked his finger at Lin Mian, "Come here."
Lin Mian took a step closer to him.
Jiang Yan patted his lower back and said, "Go to the car and get your toys."
I was saying before that I wanted to find a live target for the little rabbit to practice on, and now it’s been delivered to my door.
Toy? It took Lin Mian a moment to realize he was talking about the wooden cannon.
He seemed to have guessed what the other party wanted to do. After hesitating for a moment, he went back to the RV and took out the wooden gun he had put away.
Jiang Jie put his arm around his waist and asked him to stand in front of him. He taught him how to hold the wooden handle step by step. He raised it and faced the yellow-haired man. The man's eyes widened in fear. "You can drive a car, so it's time to practice holding the wooden handle."
If the man's hand hadn't been holding him, Lin Mian felt his hands would have been shaking.
"It's okay, just shoot as you like. It's okay if you miss the first time, you can shoot twice more." Jiang Yan put his face close to his ear and helped him lift the wooden gun, aiming it at the yellow-haired man's bound and hung hands.
Facing the dark wooden door and hearing him say such devilish words, Huangmao felt his body shaking like a sieve.
He was like pork on the chopping board, unable to speak or move.
Jiang Jie's hand loosened, leaving Lin Mian alone holding the wooden cannon. He tightened his grip, "What if I accidentally hit a fatal spot?"
"Then you'll give him a good time. He'll thank you."
Jiang Jie patted his shoulder encouragingly, "Don't be stressed. If you don't perform well this time, there will be another time."
Listen, is this even human language?! The yellow-haired guy glared and groaned, "Mmmm!" He should be the one feeling the pressure!!!
Lin Mian didn't know what to say for a moment, and his hand holding Mu Cang tightened unconsciously.
He knew that he had to shoot the gun, just like driving a car, there had to be a beginning.
He closed his eyes and took a deep breath to relieve his tension and the reluctance to shoot a living person.
He stared at the other person's hand and finally pulled the trigger.
With a "bang" sound, Lin Mian felt his hands were numb from the shock.
Huangmao's pupils were dilated, his eyes felt hot, and liquid was sticky on his eyes.
"What a pity," Jiang Jie put his hand on the little rabbit's shoulder, "it's a little off."
The bullet grazed the opponent's palm and missed.
Lin Mian seemed to lose strength all of a sudden, his hands dropped and trembled slightly.
Jiang Jie held his hand and said, "It's okay. This is your first time opening a wooden warehouse. You're already quite impressive."
Lin Mian pursed his lips and said nothing.
Jiang Yan held his shoulders, lifted his hand, and pulled the trigger with him without hesitation.
"Bang--"
"Ugh--" Huangmao's body shook violently due to the intense pain. Finally, his eyes rolled back and he fainted. He seemed to be hanging limply on the water.
Jiang Jie took back the person's hand, blew into the wooden door, and said softly, "This is how it should be done. Have you learned it?"
Lin Mian widened his eyes, staring blankly at the yellow-haired quilt/the bullet pierced through his palm, leaving a bloody hole. He was still trembling and had not come back to his senses.
