Chapter 215: Can’t Pass! (Third Update)
Fang Yuxin immediately told what he had discovered: "There are twenty people blocking the road ahead, three of them are psychics, two are at the primary level, and one is at the first level. The remaining seventeen are ordinary people. These people have a fierce aura, they don't look like good people, be alert!"
She said to be alert rather than careful, because these people's strength is far inferior to theirs, so they don't need to be taken seriously. But the other party is not a pushover, so we can't be careless and must remain vigilant. It's not only the superpowers who are powerful in this world. If you are not careful enough, the superpowers can also die at the hands of ordinary people.
In her previous life, she had always been an ordinary person and had not been able to awaken her superpowers, but many superpowered people had died at her hands. So she never thought that she could rest easy after awakening her superpowers.
The others were not fools, and they all understood what she meant. They were able to survive in the apocalypse until now, which was a good thing in itself, and they would not be proud and complacent just because they awakened their superpowers, thinking that they were invincible.
When they saw the figure in front of them, they were already on guard, and after hearing Fang Yuxin's words, they became even more vigilant.
The car was driving very fast, and the others gradually saw the situation ahead clearly.
The twenty people all looked quite young, the youngest was in his early twenties, and the oldest was only in his early thirties. In other words, they were all young and middle-aged. They looked ordinary, but their eyes were very unusual, as if they had hooks, and their gazes were sharp and fierce.
These people didn't look like ordinary people, but more like the kind of gangsters who would take risks. Five of them were equipped with guns, but they were not the same, including pistols, rifles, and submachine guns.
As the car got closer, one of them stretched out his arms and waved, shouting, "Stop! Stop now!"
The roadblock ahead looked very ferocious, made of sharpened wood and covered with iron sheets, and looked very heavy. There was also a row of three-inch-long steel nails on the ground. If a car drove past, the steel nails would puncture the tires first, and then it would crash into the roadblock.
So Fang Yuxin and his companions stopped the car when they were still a hundred meters away from those people to avoid being surrounded and becoming more passive.
The other party obviously didn't expect them to do this. After a moment of silence, one of them, a sturdy man in his early thirties holding a submachine gun, walked towards them.
At this moment, a car window rolled down, and a black muzzle of a gun protruded from inside. With a "bang", the bullet hit the road in front of the sturdy man's toes, making a sharp impact sound.
The man immediately stopped, his face gloomy, squinting at the muzzle of the gun sticking out of the window, and shouted: "Don't get me wrong! I have no ill will towards you!"
Everyone laughed and didn't believe his nonsense at all.
Bai Ye rolled down the window and gestured to Fang Yuxin in the car, asking her to leave it alone for now and let him handle it. Then, he stuck his head out and asked the man, "Stand there and don't move! Also, I need an explanation. Why are you blocking our way? What is your purpose?"
The sturdy man had been looking at them, but unfortunately the car windows had all been specially treated, so all he could see from the outside was pitch black and he couldn't see what was going on inside the car at all. The only things he could see were that Fang Yuxin and Bai Ye's cars were good cars, and that they had guns and their shooting skills were very accurate.
The specific situation in the car was unclear, so he had no way of analyzing their true strength. He had only two guesses: either the people in the car were too weak to show their whereabouts, or they were too strong to bother paying attention to him.
The man was not stupid. He could drive such a good car, and the car body was well preserved without many scratches. Obviously, the person in the car was very strong. If he was too weak, even if he got such a good car by chance, it would be a problem whether he could keep it. Unless they were extremely lucky, they could keep such a car from being stolen with their meager strength, and they had not encountered any zombies and arrived at this place safely.
The probability of such a thing happening is too low, so he would rather believe that he had met a tough guy this time.
Thinking of this possibility, he couldn't help but feel lucky that he hadn't done anything too rude and there was still room for redemption. However...if the other party only had strength but no brains, then this was his luck!
A fierce light flashed in the man's eyes, but he put on an honest face and said in a flattering manner: "We really have no ill intentions. We set up a roadblock here to remind people who come here that they can't pass ahead at all."
Bai Ye didn't believe him at all, and asked calmly: "Can't go forward? What's going on? Explain it clearly."
The man did not refuse and explained honestly: "There is a huge sinkhole ahead. It has become a deep pit. The road is blocked and there is no way to get through! If you don't believe it, you can go and see it."
I added this last sentence because I was worried that Bai Ye wouldn't believe it.
Bai Ye said upon hearing this: "Move your roadblocks away, let's go take a look ahead."
When he said that, someone got anxious: "Hey! You really want to go over there? There's a huge pit there, your car can't get through at all!"
After he said this, Bai Ye became even more suspicious and said sternly: "If you don't want to die, get out of my way!"
His words were very impolite. Those people who blocked the road were not good people. They were used to bullying others. How could they bear such humiliation? As soon as he said this, those people tightened their weapons. The four people holding guns almost wanted to greet them with bullets!
The sturdy man, who should be the leader of these people, turned around and glared at the people behind him when he saw that something was wrong, and shouted in a low voice: "What are you doing? Put down your weapons! Do you want to die?" When he said this, he lowered his voice to a level that only they could hear, and continued, "Don't be impulsive. The people coming this time are not ordinary people. It will be bad for us to offend them. Since they want to go, let them go. Anyway, we didn't lie, they will know when they go."
This sturdy man was the first-level psychic. He had awakened strength-related superpowers and was obviously very prestigious in front of his subordinates. As soon as he finished speaking, even though some people were still unconvinced, no one dared to object and they obediently moved the roadblock away.
Bai Ye gestured for the driver to drive. He thanked the sturdy man when he passed by him, and then drove past them.
When they passed by each other, they were worried that the other party would cheat or suddenly attack, so everyone was on high alert and tense. They also selected their opponents, so that if the other party suddenly attacked with ill intentions, they would be able to kill the other party in the first place.
However, these people did not make a move until they were far away. Someone then complained unwillingly, "Brother Zhao, are we going to let them get away with it?"
The 'Brother Zhao' he mentioned was the sturdy man. The man looked at the departing car and laughed coldly after a long while: "What are you afraid of? Didn't I just say it? Anyway, we are not lying. Since these people want to go over and see, let them go. After they see it, they will naturally know that we are not lying, and then they will come back obediently!"
Another person asked, "Brother Zhao, why don't you let the brothers take action? How powerful can these people be? They might just be the second generation of the rich. Who knows how many good things are in the car. It would be too easy for them to just let them go."
Hearing this, Brother Zhao looked at the others and saw that they all looked angry. He asked, "Do you all think so?"
Everyone nodded.
Brother Zhao suddenly felt annoyed, he smiled coldly, and slapped the people around him on the top of their heads: "How stupid! A bunch of idiots! Do you have any brains? Are your brains full of water? Or are your eyes blind? Huh? Can't you see?"
After he started to scold, some people were not convinced and said flatteringly: "Brother Zhao, just tell me what you mean. You know we are stupid, so of course we can't compare to you, Brother Zhao."
Brother Zhao liked to hear this. He could control his men because they were not as smart as him and not as strong as him. Otherwise, if one of his men was really smarter than him, he would not be able to sleep well.
So he calmed down and explained patiently: "You all remember the cars just now, right? They are all off-road vehicles, luxury cars! Two of them were specially modified. Most people can own such cars? Also, they came here from somewhere else. Although we don’t know how far they walked, you can see that there are few scratches on their cars! What does this mean? It means that they either didn’t encounter zombies, or they are strong enough! Besides, did you forget the bullet just now? There is at least one sharpshooter in their car! And the one who spoke just now is not a good person either! We must be careful when dealing with these people!"
After his explanation, the others immediately understood what he meant, and then looked at him with admiration, which made him feel very proud.
On the other hand, not long after Bai Ye, Fang Yuxin and others continued on their journey, they saw that the road ahead was broken. A piece of land as big as a football field had completely collapsed, forming a huge deep pit.
There were hills on both sides of the road, about three or four meters high, not very high. When this deep pit appeared, half of the mountain collapsed into it, leaving only a hideous cross-section.
The hill was originally covered with grass and trees, but now most of the grass and trees have withered, making it look even more desolate.
The hill was not high, so if they walked, they could go around it, but it was impossible to drive. They had a space ability person, so they could store the car in space, go around this section of the road, and then get back on the road. But if it was someone else, this method would not work, no wonder those people set up roadblocks.
However, no one believes that they mean well!
