It got completely dark very quickly.
Xing Zhaozhao hid all the things she had bought in the bushes nearby, holding only the screaming chicken that Gao Lianzhou had given her. Under the cover of night, she crouched down and slipped out of the bushes where she was hiding. She circled around silently and hid in another bush next to the pile of stones, observing the young people doing the live broadcast up close, waiting for an opportunity to act.
There were five of them in total. At this moment, apart from two who were still at the campsite by the reservoir doing a live broadcast, the other three were going in and out of the abandoned cellar, making final preparations for the horror show that was about to begin.
Xing Zhaozhao looked at the two things and secretly pondered how to quickly and effectively pave her way home.
The quickest way, of course, would be to deal with the three in the cellar. She could then leave, leaving her things behind and coming back to retrieve them later. The only concern was that if something went wrong, she might not be able to get her things back. They cost a lot of money, and she really couldn't bear to part with them.
The most appropriate one is...
A cold glint flashed in Xing Zhaozhao's eyes.
Of course, we should just take all five of them down at once, then she can take her things and leave without any worries.
Just as Xing Zhaozhao was hesitating and unable to decide which option to choose, a person suddenly came from the cellar, climbed over the pile of stones, stood in front of the bushes where she was hiding, unbuckled his belt, and began to search...
Xing Zhaozhao: "??!!"
Xing Zhaozhao looked up.
The man happened to look down, and the light from his headlamp shone directly on him.
The two immediately locked eyes.
He paused for a moment, then blinked once.
The man's face immediately contorted in terror, his cheeks twitched, and he opened his mouth wide, about to scream.
Xing Zhaozhao realized something was wrong, narrowed her eyes, leaped forward, wrapped her arms around his neck, and tightened her grip.
The man's eyes rolled back, and he quickly lost consciousness.
This move was taught to her by Gao Mingcheng. For her, it was the most effective way to deal with bad guys because the neck is one of the most vulnerable parts of a person, and she was strong enough. The only thing to be careful about was not to strangle the person to death.
Xing Zhaozhao checked his breathing again, and only felt relieved after confirming that he was not dead.
Just then, someone came out of the cellar, noticed the commotion, and came over. They saw the person lying on the ground, with another person squatting next to them...
He turned his head, and the light from his headlamp had just shone on him when he saw a dark figure pounce on him. Before he could react, he felt a tightness around his neck and immediately passed out.
"Thump..."
Hearing a noise behind them, the two people who were doing a live broadcast by the reservoir turned around curiously, but it was too dark to see clearly.
"Hey, did you hear that?"
"It seems so..."
People started spamming the chat in the live stream.
I think I just saw a ghostly figure moving around there.
Me too, me too.
The top donor gifted him another luxury cruise ship.
Go take a look.
The two glanced at each other, swallowed hard, and slowly moved over with their phones.
Soon, they saw the two people lying on the ground, both of them showing panic on their faces.
"Ah Liang? Xiao Ming? What's wrong with you two?"
"Wah wah wah".
Suddenly, a strange, screaming chicken sound came from behind me.
The two immediately turned around to look behind them, but before they could see anything clearly, their necks were tightened and they fell to the ground as well.
As soon as the camera went black, the live stream chat exploded.
Oh no, something's happened.
[Call the police immediately.]
I've cleaned up two more, so now there's only one left.
Xing Zhaozhao turned her head to look at the abandoned cellar, a glint of light flashing in her eyes.
"Waaaaa, waaaaaa".
The people in the cellar heard the squeaking of chickens outside and came out out of curiosity.
Where did that screaming chicken come from? He didn't remember anyone bringing a screaming chicken today.
The moment he showed his face, he was struck hard on the neck. Before he could even utter a sound, his eyes closed and he collapsed.
Done.
Xing Zhaozhao clapped her hands in satisfaction, squeezing the screaming chicken all the way back to retrieve the things she had hidden.
Gao Mingcheng walked in the dark through the woods when he suddenly heard a strange "waaaaa, waaaaa" sound coming from not far ahead. He frowned and curiously followed the direction of the sound.
Suddenly, a wide-open space appeared before me.
Although he hadn't been here for many years and many of the sights had changed, Gao Mingcheng recognized it at a glance. It was a mountain path he had walked countless times since he was a child. Then, he noticed the few people lying next to the pile of rocks, and his cold face immediately darkened.
He followed the sound of "waaaaa, waaaaa" and quickly found the thin figure that was trying to "escape".
Thugs.
He immediately gave chase.
Although he is over eighty years old, he has maintained a high level of physical activity over the years, and his physique is no worse than that of young people who are in a state of sub-health for many years.
Xing Zhaozhao suddenly heard a whooshing sound behind her. Before she could react, a hand grabbed her shoulder tightly.
"You thug, where are you going?" The deep voice was both unfamiliar and somewhat familiar.
Before Xing Zhaozhao could think it through, she felt a pain in her shoulder, frowned, and instinctively elbowed him backward.
Gao Mingcheng immediately raised his hand reflexively to catch it, the heavy force making his hand slightly numb, and the familiar feeling made his heart skip a beat.
Zhao Zhao?
Worried that Zhao Zhao might encounter danger when she went out alone, he once taught her a set of self-defense moves. She would practice them once and then not want to practice anymore, wrapping her arms around his waist and clinging to him, saying in a spoiled tone, "I'm so tired, I have no energy left. Let's not practice today, okay, Mingcheng~~"
Gao Mingcheng felt a sudden burning sensation behind his ear.
When her first attack failed, Xing Zhaozhao immediately changed her moves. Mingcheng had taught her these moves, and although she was often reluctant to practice them, she had been forced to practice them many times and had long since mastered them.
The familiar exchanges that followed left Gao Mingcheng's mind in a whirl, and he was unable to think straight for a moment.
Suddenly, he saw the figure in front of him turn her head sharply, her fist clenched as if to hit his head. He instinctively reached out to grab her neck, but when he met those familiar eyes, he froze on the spot.
“Zhao…”
Before he could finish speaking, Xing Zhaozhao punched him hard on the head.
Gao Mingcheng felt a buzzing in his head and fell to one side, but his hand still reached out to grab Xing Zhaozhao, trying to keep her there.
"Wah wah wah".
Xing Zhaozhao was surprised that this person was about to faint, yet still managed to snatch her screaming chicken. She didn't know what to say for a moment.
She tried to take the screaming chicken back from his hands, but to her surprise, his grip was tight, as if he were holding some precious treasure.
After several unsuccessful attempts, Xing Zhaozhao gave up.
Since you like it so much, I'll give it to you.
She quickly went back to get her things and ran away.
Unexpectedly, this incident caused such a big commotion. Xing Zhaozhao decided that she would not come back for the time being and would go back to avoid the limelight first.
