Chapter 29 Assassination



Ji Xian and the others quickly ran out of the car.

I stayed far away from the car, just in case it suddenly exploded.

Ji Xian didn't know whether he should be glad or not, because these Sand Silk Mercenary Group members were actually much smarter than he had imagined.

However, their IQ immediately drops when food is involved.

Xi Guang'an said, "Let's go quickly, they'll be back soon."

"Um."

The three of them walked together behind a nearby earthen slope.

Although the area looks like a plain, it is not actually particularly flat.

They are not easily spotted as long as the terrain is undulating.

After walking for a while, Ji Xian suddenly felt a little lost.

In this desolate world, where are they going, and how long will they go?

Of course, Ji Xian and Xia Luoxue had used gene enhancement drugs and could travel for days and nights without any problem, but Ji Xian felt confused.

Xi Guang'an has never used gene enhancement drugs. There are countless people like him in this world. They all rely on slight mutations and evolution of their own bodies to withstand the harsh conditions of this world.

However, his physical strength did not evolve; it remained the same as that of an ordinary person.

Under Ji Xian and Xia Luoxue's brisk walking, Xi Guang'an finally couldn't hold on any longer.

He jogged up to Ji Xian, panting, and asked, "You really have no supplies left?"

Ji Xian nodded: "Really not."

"Oh, how could you leave the supplies on the truck?" Xi Guang'an said with a look of regret.

Ji Xian didn't say anything more.

Xi Guang'an stopped after taking only a few steps: "I can't walk anymore, really. You've all used gene enhancement drugs, I can't compare to you."

Ji Xian maintained a brisk pace throughout, and he didn't know how many meters he had walked. However, if it were his previous physical condition, he probably wouldn't have been able to walk like this.

"Alright, alright, let's take a break," Ji Xian said.

The three of them found three stones on the dry ground and sat on them to rest.

Xi Guang'an said, "By the way, don't you guys find this place particularly hot? It's very uncomfortable to have the sun shining on you?"

Ji Xian shook his head, not feeling much, but he did remember something.

When Xia Luoxue brought him to City 1062 on her motorcycle, he found that his skin was sunburned when they entered the city. That was when they passed through this place.

At that time, I didn't feel anything while sitting on the motorcycle.

Now sitting on this rock to rest, Ji Xian looked up and realized that the sunlight here was indeed quite harsh.

However, the intense sunlight was due to the weather, and there was nothing they could do, so they didn't continue the discussion.

Ji Xian, however, suddenly remembered something else.

"By the way, why don't I see any abandoned cars on the street?"

Xia Luoxue asked with a puzzled look, "Why would you ask such a strange question?"

"Uh, I was just asking."

Ji Xian certainly wouldn't say that she watched disaster movies in the real world, where the apocalypse would come and there would be traffic jams and abandoned cars everywhere.

If only things were like in the movies, they could find a car on the roadside, start it, and quickly get back to the city.

Xi Guang'an laughed and said, "I understand your thoughts. Right after the apocalypse, there were indeed cars everywhere on the road. But at that time, the world lacked productivity, and people would look for all kinds of usable resources, especially cars on the roadside. They would definitely be taken over and repurposed. It's been 50 years, so of course you won't see any scrapped cars on the roadside anymore."

"Oh." Ji Xian immediately thought, could the Sand Silk Mercenary Group's vehicles also be modified from these scrapped cars?

This explains why the Sandworm Mercenary Group's vehicles were so dilapidated.

A few people were chatting when they suddenly heard a noise overhead.

Looking up, I saw two helicopters carrying a humanoid robot as they flew past.

Ji Xian opened his eyes wide and looked carefully: "What is that?"

Xi Guang'an said, "It's a Crimson Alliance plane, carrying a mecha warrior!"

"Mech warrior?"

"Yes, this is a high-tech combat weapon. It is impervious to swords and bullets, and cannot be penetrated by water or fire. It can withstand the impact of a hundred tons of force and is called a humanoid tank. Of course, it is much more powerful than a tank and can fight in any terrain."

Upon hearing this, Ji Xian's eyes practically lit up as he stared intently at the mecha in the distant sky.

Every boy dreams of owning a mecha, and he also wants to buy one.

Seeing Ji Xian engrossed in watching, Xi Guang'an moved closer to Xia Luoxue and asked, "Are you really out of food?"

Xia Luoxue shook her head: "No."

What's in your bag?

Xia Luoxue subconsciously looked at her bag and suddenly felt a pain in her waist.

Looking down, she saw Xi Guang'an holding a dagger, which he pulled out from the gap under her leather coat at her waist.

Blood gushed out.

Xi Guang'an's face was filled with murderous intent. He pulled out his dagger and was about to stab her again. He had a long-standing feud with Xia Luoxue, and he would spare no effort to kill her now.

To everyone's surprise, Xia Luoxue reacted extremely quickly, immediately raising her arm and delivering a powerful elbow strike to Xi Guang'an's face.

Xia Luoxue used a gene-enhancing drug, making her about five times stronger than an ordinary person, with a strength of about 500 jin (250 catties).

Xi Guang'an's face immediately caved in, covered in blood, and he fell backward.

Xia Luoxue immediately drew her gun and fired at Xi Guang'an.

Ji Xian snapped out of his daze and looked at the two of them in surprise.

Xi Guang'an died in an instant.

He wanted to kill and steal the treasure, but he greatly underestimated Xia Luoxue's fighting prowess.

He thought he could kill a delicate woman like Xia Luoxue with just a few slashes.

However, Xia Luoxue was by no means a delicate woman.
