Chapter 81 The Su Family...
"Achoo!"
The man in black rubbed his nose, turned his head to look at the cave entrance, and muttered to himself, "Something doesn't taste right."
Suddenly, as if remembering something, he stood up abruptly, his sharp eyes scanning the cave like X-rays, and sneered, "Looks like a rat has come in."
He had one hand behind his back and the other in front of his chest, rubbing his index finger and thumb together vigorously to make a "biu, biu" sound.
With each "biu" sound, Su Meng's heart trembled.
For no apparent reason, I felt as if he were holding my heart in his fingers.
It seemed as if with the slightest force he exerted, her little heart would shatter into dust.
Then he crushed it into mud with his heavy steps.
As he drew closer, the surrounding air seemed to thin out.
Breathing became difficult.
Su Meng knew that this person, like A Da, was a trained martial artist.
If she fails to land a fatal blow, her spatial dimension is still upgrading, and she could lose her life instantly.
Su Meng suppressed her fear, bit her lip hard, raised her gun, and aimed.
Just as she was about to pull the trigger, the person in the cage suddenly spoke up: "That bead was originally a family heirloom."
"Go and kill Shen Wuyang, and I'll tell you where it is."
Upon hearing this, Su Meng's mouth dropped open in shock. For a moment, she forgot her fear, and the voice of that person kept echoing in her mind. Her heart was pounding in her throat.
Tears streamed down silently.
But the corners of his mouth were turned up high.
That's my father's voice.
Even after ten years, it still feels as familiar as if it were yesterday.
very nice!
Could it be that her father sensed her presence and deliberately made a sound to attract the attention of the man in black?
She knew that her father had always been wise and loving.
The man in black robes paused, turned his head, and smiled disdainfully: "You're quite clever!"
Did you sense an unfamiliar presence and think someone was coming to rescue you?
"Ha! Just a tiny ant, is it worth you taking a gamble?"
Su Mianzhi stretched out his five fingers and grabbed the iron bars on the cage, calmly looking at the man in black robes: "Black-robed envoy, your Heavenly Fiend Formation is broken. Are you injured?"
Are you panicking?
Haha! Do you even know what karma is?
As he spoke, he spun the iron cage to face the man in black robes, his mockery blatant.
After all, having spent more than nine years together, he knew the black-robed man's weaknesses all too well.
He's just an arrogant and conceited madman!
Sure enough, the man in black robes was thrown into disarray upon hearing Su Mianzhi's mockery for the first time.
He turned and pointed at Su Mianzhi, angrily shouting, "You're asking for death..."
Su Meng made her move at that moment.
With a loud "bang," a gunshot pierced the black-robed man's left back.
The man in black robes stared in disbelief at the blood spurting from his left chest, his shock and anger turning into a rage before he raised his hand to attack.
However, due to the internal injuries caused by the backlash from the broken Heavenly Fiend Formation and the muscle-softening powder that Su Meng had scattered, his reaction was a little slower than usual.
But Su Meng didn't dare to delay at all.
Before the first shot even reached its target, the second shot was already aimed at the black-robed man's head.
Then, remembering Shen Wuyang who had survived being shot in the left chest, she fired another shot into his right chest.
Haha! Three shots and even if he were a demon king, he'd be sent to hell.
The man in black robes staggered and spun around, his finger pointing at Su Mianzhi turning to point at Su Meng at the corner, his face filled with disbelief: "The Su... family......"
Before he could finish speaking, he collapsed to the ground with a thud.
Su Meng breathed a sigh of relief, stood at the corner and looked around, then ran towards Su Mianzhi.
She looked up at the emaciated figure in mid-air, stretched out her arms to embrace him, her lips trembling as she silently wept: "Dad~"
Su Mianzhi nodded almost imperceptibly, then pointed at the man in black robes, his Adam's apple bobbing several times before he finally managed to utter two words: "...beads."
It seemed that the confrontation just now had exhausted all his strength.
Before he could finish speaking, his arm fell limply to his side, his head slumped down, and his face turned deathly gray.
Su Meng cried out in horror, "Dad!"
After ten years of separation, we've only just met and haven't even exchanged a single word. Is Father... on his deathbed?
Su Meng didn't dare to think too much. Like a clown, she jumped around under the iron cage a few times, trying to take it down.
Then, like headless flies, they searched for the mechanism to lower the iron cage in a small space of less than forty or fifty square meters.
However, she found nothing; it was as if the iron cage had been casually hung up by someone.
Su Meng gritted her teeth, aimed her gun at the hooks on the iron cage, and tried to knock the cage down.
However, the hook, as thick as her fist, was not so easily broken.
Furthermore, all the sparks from the bullets hitting the iron hook landed on Su Mianzhi.
Seeing his eyelids tremble slightly due to the burns, Su Meng felt a little relieved.
Thankfully, my father only lost consciousness.
Thinking of the "beads" he mentioned, Su Meng took out the corpse-dissolving powder and walked towards the man in black robes.
A money pouch was found on the man in the black robe, containing a purple bead and something resembling a key.
The moment she took out the purple beads, she inexplicably heard that ancient voice in her mind again: "Finally, you've collected all five!"
Su Meng stared blankly at the space that was still shrouded in thick fog. Just as she was about to put the purple bead into her pocket, she suddenly felt a chill in her palm, and the purple bead disappeared.
The next moment, the space shook violently, swaying like a pirate ship.
Su Meng clutched her throbbing head, and as she staggered, the corpse-dissolving powder in her hand spilled onto the black-robed man.
The pungent smell brought her back to her senses, and in her muddled mind, she suddenly remembered that there was a key-like jack under the wooden chair debris on the platform.
Perhaps that's the organization.
Su Meng was overjoyed and stumbled over.
Excitement, and physical discomfort caused by the upgrade in space, she climbed the steps using both hands and feet, awkwardly but happily inserting the key.
After a series of clicking sounds, like gauze rubbing against metal pipes, the iron cage slowly descended.
Su Meng stood below the iron cage and involuntarily opened her arms to welcome it.
He kept murmuring, "Dad, let's go home!"
Su Mianzhi's eyelids trembled slightly, his fingers twitched slightly, and he fell into a coma once again.
*
Huo Zhenhua truly deserves his title as the king of soldiers in the Southeast Military Region; he reached the summit in just half an hour.
This is the best lookout point on the island.
Not to mention the villages deep in the mountains, even the large port in the northeast, which is the farthest northeast from here, is within sight.
A group of villagers were walking through the mountains toward the port.
Suddenly, they were blocked by someone, and a conflict ensued.
Huo Zhenhua was about to go over to check when he heard gunshots.
Three shots were fired in quick succession, about ten miles to his left rear.
He was startled. The pitch-black inkstone was as dark and gloomy as a distant mountain fog. Su Meng's face flashed through his mind, and his pupils contracted.
Could it be that she's up against Shen Wuyang?
Thinking of the eerie Shen Wuyang, Huo Zhenhua jumped and leaped even faster in the mountains and forests.
Even a mischievous little monkey couldn't keep up with his agile figure.
But they couldn't find Su Meng anywhere even when they got close to the cave.
"Su Meng!"
He had only called out once when he heard Su Meng crying.
He entered the cave and saw Su Meng helping someone out of the iron cage.
"Su Meng, I'm here!" He walked over in a few steps and helped feed her water and medicine.
They didn't mind the smell and dirt on Su Mianzhi at all.
He asked, puzzled, "Who is he?"
Su Mianzhi was unconscious, his face covered with a thick layer of mud, making it impossible to recognize him.
"It's my dad."
With trembling hands, Su Meng brushed aside the hair hanging down Su Mianzhi's forehead, glanced at the neatly repaired scalp, and burst into tears.
Thankfully, his face wasn't peeled off.
Immediately afterwards, she pulled down Su Mianzhi's clothes and saw the blue teardrop-shaped mark on his shoulder blade, and her panicked heart finally calmed down.
"I've finally found my dad!"
Seeing her laughing and crying at the same time, Huo Zhenhua felt a pang of sadness, his nose tingled, and his eyes reddened.
