Anxious and restless, Mu Shanhai couldn't sit still any longer. He quickly opened the car door and got out, eager to find out what was going on.
Seeing her father suddenly get out of the car, Mu Shiyu followed him out.
Hearing footsteps, Luo Chen looked at the approaching father and daughter with a puzzled expression.
Qi Tianlong also looked over.
"Mr. Qi, Captain Xiao, what exactly happened? Is someone deliberately sabotaging us, trying to ambush us?"
Before Mu Shanhai had even stopped walking, he had already asked the question.
Qi Tianlong remained silent, acting as an outsider and giving Luo Chen the opportunity to answer.
Luo Chen didn't think too much about it and said directly, "Mr. Mu, don't worry, it's just a simple tire blowout, it's not an attack."
[Besides, in a place like this, only someone with a screw loose would do something like that.]
Mu Shiyu, who was hiding behind Mu Shanhai, was stunned for a moment. She pursed her lips slightly, as if she wanted to laugh but dared not, so as not to attract attention.
Mu Shanhai was still uneasy about Luo Chen's words, so he went up and took a look himself. He found that it was just as Luo Chen had said, a normal tire blowout, and immediately stopped asking any further questions.
Mu Shanhai looked at Qi Tianlong, hoping to get some confirmation from him.
Qi Tianlong nodded lightly, and Mu Shanhai breathed a sigh of relief, his expression softening slightly.
Luo Chen noticed the silent exchange between the two.
[This Mu Shanhai is quite vigilant. Even after I explained it to him and he checked it himself, he was still uneasy.]
[I could only breathe a sigh of relief after receiving affirmation from someone I trusted.]
[In the world of the book, such a situation would naturally not be taken seriously; it would be considered a perfectly normal phenomenon.]
[But often, the more normal things seem, the more something is amiss, and certain events will inevitably occur to prove their stupidity.]
[Mu Shanhai's performance was good; this is how a normal person thinks. Perhaps it's because this is just a dream that those ridiculous, brain-draining things didn't happen.]
Mu Shanhai and Qi Tianlong walked to the side and whispered, "Mr. Qi, although you just gave me an affirmation, I still want to ask, is this normal?"
Qi Tianlong was somewhat helpless. Mu Shanhai was too cautious, and the kind of cautious that was excessive. He had already confirmed it several times, and he still asked again.
But Qi Tianlong patiently replied, "Don't worry, this is normal. At first, I also thought it was a human-caused phenomenon. You went up to check, but it wasn't. Maybe the tires just happened to be there and an accident occurred."
"So Mr. Mu, you don't need to be too nervous. This place is not suitable for an ambush at all. If there were really someone lying in ambush, we would have discovered it long ago."
Moreover, several minutes have passed, the best opportunity has been missed, and it is no longer suitable for a sneak attack.
Thinking of this, Qi Tianlong couldn't help but look at Luo Chen.
Seeing that Luo Chen remained calm and showed no signs of tension, Qi Tianlong held Luo Chen in even higher regard.
I wondered if the other party already knew the reason, which is why they were so calm.
Although he doesn't look very old, and his face doesn't show signs of hardship, his composure is truly remarkable.
Perhaps, Luo Chen will truly be their blessing, leading them out of the crisis.
Before Mu Shanhai could say anything more, Qi Tianlong interrupted him, saying, "Mr. Mu, what I said earlier still stands. If any unavoidable danger arises, I will take you away beforehand. You can rest assured about that."
Having received the promise again, Mu Shanhai said no more and nodded silently.
After the tires were changed, the vehicle started normally. Just as he was about to get in, Luo Chen noticed a gaze secretly watching him.
Turning my head, I saw that it was Mu Shiyu.
[What happened?]
Upon being discovered, Mu Shiyu feigned composure and quickly looked away, but the blush on her ears betrayed her.
But at that moment, noticing Mu Shanhai getting on the bus, Mu Shiyu quickly followed, which gave her an outlet for her embarrassment.
Luo Chen stroked his chin, a thought forming in his mind.
[Did I do something to attract her?]
[She couldn't possibly have known that I had any connection with her in the previous level, after all, back then I was Liang Zhi, a girl.]
[Now, I'm a demon...]
[It seems that it's best to keep a low profile unless absolutely necessary, to avoid any unexpected complications in this dream.]
After Luo Chen closed the car door, the convoy, which had been stopped, started moving again.
We drove towards the town.
[...]
Hope Town.
There were many off-road vehicles and jeeps parked around the town.
There are also some modified explosion-proof vehicles and armored vehicles.
Anyone seeing this scene for the first time would definitely be shocked.
I thought this town was a super powerful force, since there were so many vehicles available for people to drive.
In fact, these are all parked here by various mercenary groups.
It's a parking lot, and that's the rule in this small town.
Vehicles are not allowed to drive into the town; they can only stay outside.
After all, Hope Town is not very big; it only takes about an hour to walk from the entrance to the exit.
If we drive all the cars from outside the town in...
This will cause traffic congestion.
This doesn't fit the image of a small town.
Of course, cars are not allowed inside, but some self-defense weapons are permitted.
No matter how safe a small town is, if you encounter someone who has lost their mind and can't resist settling personal scores, a weapon is the greatest protection.
The town's administrators have always turned a blind eye to this.
As for how to handle it afterwards, that's up to them.
After getting out of the car, Luo Chen and the others did not rush inside.
Instead, he ordered several mercenaries to stay behind and guard their vehicle.
Its most important feature is naturally the heavy weapons mounted on the chassis.
Those are our trump cards; we can't afford to lose them.
The mercenaries who remained wouldn't stay there indefinitely; it was a rotation system.
Luo Chen's actions did not arouse the curiosity of others.
The other mercenaries did the same, which seemed normal.
Upon entering the town, a vibrant atmosphere immediately greeted us.
After walking for three hours on the desolate yellow earth, seeing so many people all at once naturally gave me a feeling of being in another world.
This feeling didn't last long; they now needed a place to stay, as well as rest and supplies.
While looking for accommodation, there were no disputes with anyone as soon as we entered the town.
That's right, this is the kind of melodramatic plot that only the main characters experience.
This will not happen to Luo Chen.
Having found accommodations, everyone dispersed and returned to their rooms to rest.
The same goes for Luo Chen.
But now, Luo Chen is facing a serious problem.
After returning to the room, I sat quietly in a chair, looking at the various weapons and military knives laid out on the table.
A bead of cold sweat trickled down Luo Chen's cheek and dripped onto the table.
He looked serious, staring intently at the weapons on the table, arranged from left to right.
Desert Eagle, Charge, mp5.
Luo Chen's gaze lingered on the three weapons for a long time before he looked at the grenades and the Nepalese kukri beside them.
