Dao Ge's eyes flashed, and then the last remaining light was swallowed up by the endless darkness.
He laughed, but his laughter was more painful than crying.
"escape?"
"Even if we escape this illegal coal mine, where can we go?"
The 30,000 yuan that Zhang Cheng gave him was the closest he ever came to his dream.
But that stack of brand-new banknotes disappeared on the southbound train.
With red eyes, he pulled out his gun and sealed off the entire carriage, but it was all a joke.
The money is gone.
Hijacking a car with a gun is a serious crime.
He had no choice but to jump out of the car with his brothers and flee for their lives in the unfamiliar city.
To raise money for his trip, he decided to pull off a big heist, only to find himself in the clutches of a Penang underground casino.
A dozen or so shotguns were pointed at his head.
Five people, five fingers broken, two guns lost.
Finally, they were sold like livestock to the Shanxi mining area, where they could cry out to heaven and earth in vain.
"Brother Dao, don't be discouraged!" Cheng Agou's face was streaked with coal dust and sweat, "The tunnel is just ahead, this is our only chance!"
Dao Ge raised his head and stared at the bottomless black hole in front of him. The flame that had been extinguished in his eyes suddenly reignited with a fierce light.
He slowly stood up and gripped the shovel tightly in his hand.
"You can't run far on just two legs."
His voice was hoarse, like two pieces of sandpaper rubbing together.
"I'm going to take care of the people in the car and steal it!"
Before he could finish speaking...
"Squeak—!"
The ear-piercing screech of brakes tore through the night sky, and the immense inertia sent Brother Dao flying off the coal pile!
"Thump!"
He fell heavily onto the cold asphalt road, feeling as if his bones were shattered.
"Brother Dao!"
Inside the truck bed, the brothers exclaimed in surprise.
The passenger door of the truck was kicked open with a bang, and a burly man holding a shotgun jumped out, cursing at the Volkswagen Santana blocking his way: "Fuck your mother, you're asking for it..."
"Bang!"
A muffled gunshot rang out.
The burly man's cursing stopped abruptly as he fell backward, a burst of blood erupting from his chest.
Three young men carrying hunting rifles got out of the Volkswagen Santana.
The leader kicked the driver, who had rolled out of the driver's seat, to the ground, and pressed the gun to his forehead with a contemptuous smile.
"Go back and tell Erdaozi that my sister has her eye on this mine."
"Give him 100,000 and tell him to get lost."
"If he doesn't behave... ha, tomorrow I'll take his son on an airplane ride, the kind where you can see the scenery from the sky."
The driver was so terrified he wet himself and kowtowed repeatedly.
The young man smiled with satisfaction, his gaze sweeping over Dao Ge and the others who were climbing down from the truck bed, as if they were a group of ants.
“You bunch of charcoal, from now on, you’re following me.”
"Don't worry, you won't be shortchanged by a single penny."
Cheng Agou helped Dao Ge up. Dao Ge looked at the young man's raised hunting rifle and the corpse lying in a pool of blood, and a very strange smile appeared on his lips.
Emerging from the wolf's den, only to fall into the tiger's lair.
This world is fucking chaotic.
...
On the other side, Zhangjia Village.
After more than half a month of recuperation, Zhang Cheng's rib wound has healed considerably.
At that moment, he was holding a plucked pheasant in his hand, dangling it idly in front of the striped tiger.
"Sister, I need to talk to you about something."
Zhang Cheng spoke with a smile, showing no fear whatsoever.
After feeding it for half a month, he had already figured out the beast's temperament.
"Let me ride it for a while, and this pheasant is yours. You'll have plenty to eat every day from now on, how about it?"
"roar--!"
"Big Sister" let out a low growl, a muffled thunderous sound emanating from her throat. She lowered her forelimbs to the ground, her muscles bulging, poised to pounce at any moment.
The next second, a yellow and black afterimage suddenly pounced!
Zhang Cheng neither dodged nor avoided the force that knocked him to the ground.
He rolled over in one swift motion, and the instant "Big Sister" bit the pheasant, he stretched out his ape arms and tightly hugged its neck. With a burst of strength from his waist and abdomen, he flipped onto the tiger's back as lightly as a raccoon!
"Roar roar roar!"
Suddenly having a person on its back, the king of the forest instantly flew into a rage, twisting and leaping wildly in an attempt to shake the "flea" off its back.
But Zhang Cheng was like a piece of chewing gum, his legs tightly clamped around the tiger's belly and his hands tightly gripping the tiger's neck. No matter how much he was jolted, he just wouldn't let go!
The wind whistled in my ears, and the scenery on both sides rushed past.
Riding a tiger!
I really rode a live tiger!
This thrill of conquest filled Zhang Cheng with a surge of pride, almost making him want to let out a long roar!
"Stop! Stop! Sister, stop right now!"
The jolt was so intense that after a few dozen seconds, Zhang Cheng felt as if his internal organs were about to be shaken out, and the wound under his ribs began to ache faintly.
However, her mount "Big Sister" completely ignored commands and continued to run wildly through the forest.
"Bang!"
Zhang Cheng could no longer hold on, and rolled over onto the ground, wincing in pain.
When I lifted my clothes, thankfully, the wound hadn't reopened.
A dozen meters away, "Big Sister" stopped, carrying her prize in her mouth. She turned her large tiger head around, her amber eyes filled with smug satisfaction.
"Okay, you're good." Zhang Cheng dusted himself off, stood up with a smile, and asked, "Do you still want to play PUBG tomorrow?"
"Big Sister" tilted her head, seemingly pondering the threat.
"Er Gouzi! Er Gouzi!"
Zhang Jucai's shouts came from afar.
Zhang Cheng turned around and went to greet him: "Uncle Zhaocai, what's the matter that's so urgent?"
"Someone from the county is here; they're waiting for you at the store!"
