Chapter 79: "Space ability user, it seems I caught a fat sheep."
After several days of stopping and walking, Jiang Jie and his team successfully arrived in the north. The area they passed through had experienced an earthquake at the beginning, and then seemed to be unfortunately covered by wind and sand. All they could see were ruins.
It seems that there are no living people in this kind of place. Even those who pass by may not choose to stay for long. There is no need to collect supplies, as they are probably buried under the loess.
Lin Mian held the steering wheel and steered the car carefully to avoid the cracks and grooves on the road, and also reduced the speed for safety reasons.
"Let's find a flat spot nearby and park the car." Jiang Jie, who had been resting with his eyes closed in the passenger seat, suddenly opened his eyes and said, "There are quite a few Altered Objects ahead."
Lin Mian heard his words and paid close attention. He indeed heard some movement. He turned the steering wheel, turned to the side of the road, and found a relatively flat place.
"I'll be back soon." Jiang Jie opened the door and got out of the car. He stretched his neck and headed forward.
Lin Mian also got out of the car, planning to stay outside for a while to get some fresh air. After driving for two hours, he might as well take the opportunity to exercise.
The temperature outside was not high and it was a bit windy today. He zipped up his coat to prevent the cold wind from entering his clothes.
Not long after, he heard the sound of fighting in the distance. Turning around, he thought that Jiang Jie must have started fighting.
I could hear the roars of beasts, and there seemed to be quite a few of them. This sparsely populated place looked like it was about to become a lair for strange beasts.
The wind blew a dead leaf down in front of him. Lin Mian reached out to catch it. The leaf had lost its moisture and became dry, breaking into pieces with a slight pinch.
He threw it away and patted the crumbs off his hands.
Suddenly, his eyes flashed, and he clenched his right hand, grabbed a wooden handle out of thin air, turned around and pointed at the grass not far away.
After a series of rustling noises, a snake's head emerged from behind the grass. The snake stared at him closely, spitting out its scarlet tongue.
It was just an ordinary snake, Lin Mian breathed a sigh of relief. Judging from its pattern, it should not be poisonous. He put away the wooden box, bent down, picked up a stone from the ground and threw it over. The snake hissed, twisted its body and slipped away.
He clapped his hands and was about to turn back to the car when he suddenly felt a chill on his neck. He froze and the hairs on his body stood up.
The dagger was across his neck, flashing coldly in the sunlight, pressed against his skin.
Lin Mian raised his chin nervously, then paused slightly.
The person behind him was very close, his lips almost next to his ear, and his voice was hoarse, "Space ability user, it seems I have caught a fat sheep."
Lin Mian lowered his eyes and said calmly: "You want supplies?"
A hand touched his waist, and the man said, "You can also rape me."
Lin Mian sighed and said helplessly: "Brother Ji, stop playing..."
A chuckle came from his ear, and the voice behind him became familiar to him, "How did you know it was me?"
"I smell the same scent on you," the same scent of shower gel as his. Lin Mian raised his hand and flicked the dagger at his neck, "And, you used the back of the knife."
"Smart little rabbit." Jiang Yan put away the dagger and patted his waist with the hand that was around him. "But next time, you still need to be more vigilant, pay more attention to your surroundings, and don't be too distracted."
Lin Mian nodded obediently without refutation. In fact, if he had not discovered that the other party was Jiang Jie, he would probably take the knife and shoot the other party to death. He was already prepared to take the gun.
But the other party is right, we should be more vigilant in the future.
He turned around and wanted to say something, but suddenly realized something was wrong. He glanced at the distance where the fight had not yet subsided and said, "It's not you?"
He wondered how the other party could have come back so quickly, since they were not that close to the other side.
Jiang Jie nodded, "Some other psychics got there first, so I came back."
They are all C-level mutants, and someone can deal with them so that he doesn't waste time.
Lin Mian paid attention to the movement over there again, and it didn't sound like there was only one person.
"I guess it's a team of superpowers from somewhere." Jiang Jie felt that they were most likely not locals. They were probably passing by like them, but seemed to have come from another direction.
Lin Mian also agreed with his guess. A large part of the area here has become like this. It is not a safe zone. Ordinary people can hardly survive here, and people with special abilities will not stay here stupidly. If there are people, they can only be passers-by.
"Let's go, we'll drive straight over there." Hearing that the fight over there was almost over, Jiang Yi patted his shoulder, turned around and sat in the driver's seat first.
Lin Mian got into the car and sat on the passenger seat.
By the time they drove closer, the battle there had completely ended, and several psychics were taking the crystals.
The person on guard noticed a car approaching and quickly became alert. He raised his hand to signal and stepped forward to stop the car with a companion beside him.
At the edge of the city, the former buildings are now in ruins, with the corpses of the mutants scattered everywhere. The mutants who stepped on them had blood on their hands and looked over with unfriendly expressions.
In such a scene, Lin Mian was a little confused as to which side was causing the trouble.
The RV slowly stopped. The two people standing in the front looked at each other, walked to the side of the car and knocked on the door.
Jiang Jie's car window slowly rolled down. Because the car was higher up, he lowered his eyes to look at the other person. "What's the matter?"
"It's fate that we met. Where are you going, brother?" The other person smiled and raised his hand to wipe the blood off his face with his sleeve. At the same time, he glanced into the car a few times, glanced at the person in the passenger seat, and quickly looked away.
While he was speaking, several people not far away silently took two steps closer to him. Judging from their positions, they seemed to be forming a siege.
Jiang Jie seemed unaware. He put his arm on the car window and said, "There's no destination. We'll just go wherever we want."
"Dude, you're pretty confident," the man beside the car laughed heartily and said casually, "In this world these days, only people like us with special abilities dare to run around. We have to stay in groups to feel safe."
At this point, he tilted his head and glanced into the car, "There are only two of you, you really aren't afraid of danger."
Jiang Jie raised his lips and smiled, "I can't help it, I'm quite confident in my own strength."
As he finished speaking, he heard someone sneer not far away, as if feeling disdain.
There were also people who were turning the dagger in their hands from time to time, their eyes kept lingering on their RV, and no one knew what they were thinking.
Lin Mian was very sensitive to the not-so-friendly atmosphere and silently glanced at the people outside.
The person next to their car gave him a thumbs-up, then turned and pointed back, "The bodies of the Altered Species are blocking the road. You have to wait a moment while we clear it out."
He inexplicably emphasized the last few words and smiled at them.
Jiang Yan smiled back at him, "I'll help you."
As he finished speaking, he raised his hand and snapped his fingers. Flames suddenly shot out and almost burned the man next to the car. He was so frightened that he stepped back a few steps.
The flames swirled out and split into several strands. Those people avoided them cautiously and waved their hands, ready to release their superpowers, but the flames did not attack them. Instead, they all landed accurately on the bodies of the mutants.
Almost instantly, the bodies of the mutants began to burn, and quickly turned into piles of ashes at a speed visible to the naked eye.
The atmosphere around was dead silent for a moment.
Jiang Jie put down his hand and said with a smile, "You're welcome."
The man beside the car, whose hair had been singed by the flames, looked up at him with a displeased expression, almost gritting his teeth and saying, "Brother, your superpowers are quite strong."
There were fire-type mutants in their team, but they knew they couldn't burn several mutant corpses so quickly and at the same time.
The other party is not helping them, but trying to show their power and tell them that he is not someone to be trifled with.
"Can we go now?" Jiang Yan looked at his ugly face, and the curve of his lips became bigger.
After weighing the pros and cons, the man waved his hand, signaling his brothers to move aside, "Of course, have a good trip."
Jiang Jie withdrew his gaze and stepped on the accelerator.
Their car drove out under the gaze of those people.
But some people just refuse to accept it. Even if they know that the person in front of them is a tiger, they still insist on stroking its beard to prove that they are not cowards.
The same flames flew towards their tires, intending to kill them in one fell swoop.
Jiang Jie, who had already expected their actions, sneered. A wall of fire more colorful than his was ignited, and the flying flames dissipated immediately after hitting it.
At the same time, all kinds of superpowers attacked their RV.
A vine was pulled directly out from the car window on Lin Mian's side, as if it wanted to shatter the glass in order to control him.
He stared at the vine without blinking.
The wall of flames around the car suddenly spread and expanded, enveloping the entire RV. All the attacking supernatural powers were unable to break through this line of defense. After a few explosions, when the flames dissipated, the RV was still intact.
"Fuck! Is he really that strong!?"
The leader's face turned ugly when he heard his companions' exclamations, and he felt a little regretful, but he also knew that it was too late. Since he had taken action, he had to kill the other party no matter what. Before, it was for supplies, and now it was for his life.
He raised his hand and made a gesture to continue attacking, and first directed his supernatural power at the ground under the car, trying to split the soil and rocks and overturn their RV.
But just as he made a move, the other party seemed to have predicted it, and the car suddenly rushed forward for a distance, directly avoiding the area where the soil was lifted by him.
He cursed inwardly and watched helplessly as another circle of flames ignited beside the car and spread directly to the surroundings in a ring shape. The superpowers of several people attacking were unable to stop its speed.
"Get out of the way!" He suddenly roared, turned around and fell to the ground. The flame ring almost brushed past his back, and he felt a burning pain on his back.
At the same time, he heard a scream from a distance, and it seemed that someone had not escaped.
He supported himself on the ground and tried to get up, but a flame whip suddenly hit his back, and with a "snap" sound, his skin and flesh were torn apart.
He screamed in pain and fell back, and then a second blow came, which made him roll several times.
He couldn't describe the feeling of the flames on his body, he just felt his skin was burned, and the screams nearby made him realize that he was not the only one suffering from this pain.
Finally, when another whip came down, he had time to raise his hand and release an earth shield to block himself.
But it was useless. The flame whip had incredible destructive power. It directly shattered his earth shield and fell on his body as usual.
Listening to the screams coming from all around, Jiang Jie felt that it was about time, so he raised his hand and snapped his fingers again.
The flame whip turned into balls of flames and fell on these psychics, just like it had just burned the corpses of the mutants.
The human body is much more fragile than that of an alien creature, and naturally turns to ashes faster.
After the surroundings became completely quiet, Jiang Jie didn't even bother to take a second look and just stepped on the accelerator.
However, before the RV drove away, Lin Mian turned his head to look out the window. It happened to be windy today, blowing the ashes together, and it soon became impossible to tell whether they were human or alien creatures.
