Chapter 52: Murder
The war is about to break out!
Both sides acted at the same time. Zhang Rui took out a sniper rifle, flipped over and lay down on the roof of the rear car. A low earth wall appeared in front of him, allowing him to hide his body.
Then, Lin Cong, Yan Song and Yan Wei, the three main superpowers, rushed towards the ice man, the fire woman and the eagle-eyed man who was driving, respectively, at an incredible speed.
The people on the opposite side also rushed over, each facing their target. The bad thing was that they also had several guns in their hands.
Gu Chao stood in place and stared at the field, his right hand tightly holding the sword and his left hand on his waist, ready to provide support at any time.
Lu Ming was confused: "What's going on? Even Yan Wei is going, why won't they let me go?"
She had just opened the car door when Gu Chaochang reached out and closed it again, pulled out the key, and left a gap in the car window, locking her inside the car.
Then he stood up and stood in front of the car, just blocking Lu Ming's sight.
Lu Ming couldn't open the car door, and couldn't see what was happening on the other side, so he had to bang on the car window, "Hey, hey, what are you doing? Open the door, if you don't want me to fight, then let me see! Hey!"
Gu Chao's tall and straight back remained motionless.
Lu Ming slapped the seat in frustration.
What the hell?! You can’t even watch it?
Inside the field, the first people encountered were Lin Cong and the Ice Man.
The two are of equal level, one is ice and the other is fire, restraining each other, and every move they make is a killing move.
The ice-type man has strong control over his supernatural powers. Ice needles and ice thorns appear in endlessly and are hard to defend against, making it impossible for Lin Cong to get close to him.
Lin Congsheng has a large amount of supernatural power reserves and his fireball is very powerful. The ice man's ice shield has difficulty defending against it, and the situation is somewhat stalemate for a while.
Then there are Yan Song and the fire girl.
Yan Song covered his hands with a thick earth shield, and knocked away the fireballs thrown by the woman one after another. He moved forward with great momentum, like a tiger descending from the mountain. He turned the dagger in his hand and cut the fire woman's neck artery in the blink of an eye. Blood spurted out, flesh rolled up, and the woman fell to the ground with her eyes wide open, covering her wound.
The people on the other side had no idea they were so quick and had no time to help.
The Hawkeye man's eyes were red and he shouted, "Alin!" Before he finished speaking, he turned around and rushed over.
Yan Wei repeatedly sent out golden spikes in an attempt to stop him, but the Hawkeye man was also an earth element, a second level one at that. His entire body was covered with earth, and all of Yan Wei's attacks were blocked, leaving only some deep pits. He took a few big steps to the woman's side and picked her up from the ground.
When he found that she was dead, he roared and rushed towards Yan Song viciously!
The earth-type supernatural power surged out crazily, and a row of earth spikes pierced out from under Yan Song's feet. Yan Song quickly jumped away. The eagle-eyed man did not give him a chance to breathe. The earth spikes pierced Yan Song from all directions, and he himself poured the earth-type supernatural power into his fists and smashed it at Yan Song at close range!
Seeing this, Yan Wei hurriedly put out a golden shield to block Yan Song. The earth spikes pierced through the golden shield with a clanging sound. Some of them got stuck on it and quickly turned into fine sand and fell to the ground.
Yan Song erected an earth wall in front of him to block the remaining earth spikes, but it was too late to dodge the Hawkeye man's fists. He could only use his supernatural power to cover his hands and cross his arms to resist. After several heavy punches, his arms felt dull and painful.
Seeing this, Yan Wei raised a golden shield for Yan Song and transformed a golden blade into one that flew towards the Hawkeye man. The three of them fought hard.
Over there, Cheng Ming and Li Hangyuan faced the remaining ten people. Among them, there was a speed type and a strength type, but they were both at the first level and not to be feared.
The others were ordinary people, but they were holding four or five pistols, hiding behind the car and shooting at this side.
Cheng Ming and Li Hangyuan took a few running steps, did a few front flips and came in front of their car, using their car to hide their figures.
Cheng Ming released his mental power, locked onto everyone's positions, and stared closely at the men with guns. He made a battle plan in an instant, made a few gestures to Li Hangyuan who was hiding nearby and Zhang Rui on the roof of the car, and at the same time he took out his gun and pulled the trigger at the front window!
Amid the sound of shattering glass, a man who was not hiding well at the rear of the car was instantly shot in the head, his brains splattered everywhere.
The people nearby were stunned for a moment when they saw someone die just like that. Not sure whether it was out of fear or anger, they all leaned sideways and fired wildly in this direction.
Zhang Rui seized the opportunity and fired two shots when they showed their heads. The two men on the opposite side were shot in the middle of their eyebrows and fell to the ground.
The group of people suddenly became panic-stricken. The speed type was hiding at the back. Seeing this, he wanted to run. With his companions roaring, he was sniped and knocked down halfway.
Now no one dared to take the initiative to attack. Cheng Ming and Li Hangyuan looked at each other and went around to the left and right.
On this side, Gu Chao in front of the car frowned, as if he was nervously paying attention to the battle situation on the opposite side and was not paying attention to his surroundings.
He stood in front of the car, his figure completely exposed to everyone.
A hand stretched out quietly, and the black muzzle of a gun slowly aimed at Gu Chao's head. The owner of the hand slightly curled the corners of his lips, and his eyes were full of determination to win.
The moment he pulled the trigger!
Somehow, the man who should have been standing still suddenly rolled to the side, raised his hand slightly, and two dark figures flashed before his eyes. He didn't see what they were, and just as he was about to fire again, he suddenly felt a sharp pain in his wrist and throat. He tried to breathe painfully, but ended up falling to the ground with a thud...
Gu Chao looked at a human figure appearing in the open space not far away. He glanced at the man's disbelief, put away his nervousness, and looked at the opposite side expressionlessly.
It turns out that the invisible superpower is their trump card?
Unfortunately, they encountered the most outstanding combat team of Xia Country. No matter whether that person was hiding at the beginning of the battle, or approaching with his invisibility, or secretly killing someone in the end, the whole process was under Gu Chao's control.
If he knew how obvious the footprints behind him were and how heavy his breathing was, he would not have died so easily.
Unfortunately, there is never an if.
Over there, the special powers of both Lin Cong and the Ice Man were almost exhausted. When the Ice Man heard the gunshot, he subconsciously turned his head. After seeing the corpse on the ground, his pupils constricted and his face was filled with shock.
Lin Cong seized the moment when he was distracted, lunged forward, took out a dagger and thrust it into the ice man's throat, ending the fight.
There was no suspense at all. The last remaining Hawkeye man was besieged by several people and his neck was broken by Yan Song before he could hold on for long.
Lu Ming leaned against the window, staring blankly at a person lying behind the car opposite.
This man was laughing and saying some obscene words not long ago, but now he had his eyes wide open, showing an expression that seemed to be shocked and terrified. His skull was broken, and a lot of blood and brain matter was flowing from the back of his head, staining the ground beneath him red.
The strong smell of blood filled the air.
This was the first time Lu Ming saw a murder scene up close.
She once thought that in this chaotic era, killing was inevitable.
But I didn’t expect it to happen so soon.
Her stomach churned and she quickly covered her mouth.
His mind went blank. After all, he had never killed anyone before, nor had he seen anyone being killed. This was different from killing zombies. After all, those zombies had lost much of their humanity. As long as he got used to them, he would just treat them as monsters.
She swallowed and kept comforting herself in her heart that these people deserved to die and Gu Chao and the others were not wrong.
Although she didn't think Gu Chao and the others were cruel, the face of the corpse kept lingering in her mind. Those eyes, which were still open in death, seemed to be staring at her, making her feel very uncomfortable. This was a physiological instinct that she couldn't control.
She clenched her hands and understood why Gu Chao wanted to block her. They didn't want her to see them kill someone with her own eyes.
At this time, others were bandaging wounds, cleaning the battlefield, washing the blood off their hands, and moving the bodies together.
Zhang Rui moved the things from the rear car to the front car, then drove over and without hesitation moved the supplies from the off-road vehicle on the opposite side into the car.
Lin Congze first poured a bucket of gasoline on the pile of corpses, then threw two fireballs, and the corpses quickly burned.
An indescribable burning smell wafted over.
Yan Wei, who was also not used to it, leaned against a tree and vomited violently. Yan Song, who was beside him, patted his shoulder and comforted him silently. After all, he was just an ordinary college student and had never seen such a scene before.
Even the youngest, Li Hangyuan, was used to it and wiped his gun and knife with an indifferent expression.
Lu Ming glanced at the people whose movements were natural and skillful, and felt complicated. There was no other moment that made her feel that she and they were from two different worlds.
Gu Chao opened the car door and got in, but he didn't get close. He looked at Lu Ming, whose face was a little pale, with concern from a distance, and asked softly, "Are you okay?"
Lu Ming turned his head in a daze and replied, "Yeah, not bad."
Gu Chao was silent for a moment, then said, "It's normal to be hard to accept the first time. But they deserve to die, we have no choice, understand?"
Lu Ming nodded quickly, "I know, I know, I'm just not used to it."
Gu Chao felt a little relieved. The little girl had a clear sense of right and wrong. She didn't question or scold them for being cruel. She didn't show any bored kindness or mercy. Even though she felt uncomfortable, she just digested and adjusted herself silently.
Seeing that things were almost done, he gestured to them to get in the car.
Except for Gu Chao and Zhang Rui who were sitting in the front car, everyone else was covered in blood. In order to avoid scaring Lu Ming, they all went to the back car.
The three people in the car in front were not in the mood to talk, and the car was silent.
After driving for a distance, Lin Cong stuck his head out and threw a few fireballs, and the three off-road vehicles suddenly caught fire.
A moment later, several loud noises were heard, which startled Lu Ming.
She quickly turned her head to look behind her. Flames shot up into the sky under the dim setting sun. Surrounding her were green farmlands and rustic bungalows. A strange stench hung in the air.
This world remains unchanged, except that more than a dozen lives have disappeared here forever.
These people would never have imagined that one evening, one moment they were still shouting at a group of strangers, and the next second, they would live here forever, turning into soil and dust.
I don’t know if anyone, except themselves, will remember that they have ever been in this world.
This was the first time Lu Ming had ever experienced that a human did not die at the hands of a virus, but at the hands of his own kind.
Life is so fragile, Lu Ming thought.
She looked behind her for a long time until the firelight was blocked and she could no longer see.
She couldn't help but imagine what would happen if one day, their roles were reversed with this group of people.
How would she feel if any of them lay lifeless on the ground like this group of people?
Whenever she thought of this possibility, she couldn't help but feel a pang of pain in her heart.
We can't let this happen!
Become stronger!
She was there to change their bad luck, not to become their weakness.
Next time, she'll be standing on the opposite field instead of sitting in a car, carefully guarded.
