Chapter 57: Hunting Down to Kill
“That person is at least level-5.” Gu Changjin looked at the scene from a distance and gritted his teeth.
Hearing Gu Changjin’s words, Chang Jiashi’s face changed: “These students have never participated in the battle…”
“There are not many of them. We can at least use this mobile fortress to defend ourselves! There are also weapons, many of which can be dismantled and used,” Shi Qingyang said directly, and then looked at the Chang Jiashi: “Teacher, take someone to the arsenal.”
Originally, Shi Qingyang trusted the people arranged by Xing Ou, but now that something like this happened, who knew if there were spies mixed in with them?
Xing Ou was obviously plotted against. The mobile fortress he contacted had an accident while carrying the person he was trying to curry favor with… After this, Xing Ou may not be able to have a pleasant cooperation.
Of course, what was more important now was that they might be in severe danger!
Chang Jiashi nodded, “I’ll go right away!”
Shi Qingyang saw that Chang Jiashi had left, and immediately escorted Cheng Ran to the middle of the mobile fortress. He prepared a lot of things. Now those things were in the room.
“Have the people inside considered it?” At this time, the noise outside sounded again. At the same time, a bomb was suddenly thrown over. The already broken protective cover was suddenly blown out through the big hole. Many rooms above the mobile fort were also blown open, and countless people panicked.
Fortunately, this mobile fortress was not big. Gu Changjin and several others quickly made protective covers with radiation, which made no one else affected by the bomb. However, in this way, most people gathered around Gu Changjin.
“They have bombs in their hands. What shall we do?”
“They even have level-5s…”
“They will kill us!” Although the attack was stopped, some people were already uneasy at this time.
Not only that, a staff member who used to cower in the corner suddenly moved his hand…
A wind blade compressed by radiant energy flew towards Cheng Ran. Shi Qingyang pulled him quickly, and finally let him escape. At the same time, Gu Changjin’s radiant energy stabbed into the other party’s heart.
All this happened in an instant.
There were also people who had experienced battles in mobile towns, but their battles, so to speak, were with mutant beasts; few people had watched people murder each other. Seeing Gu Changjin do this, many people’s faces instantly turned pale, and several students even vomited up and looked at Gu Changjin in horror.
Gu Changjin was in a cold sweat. If Shi Qingyang hadn’t reacted quickly just now, Cheng Ran would have been seriously injured even if he killed the murderer.
Thinking of this, where should they go?
“If you haven’t come out, we’ll come in!” People outside suddenly said, at this time, they found that at some point, several people in black combat suits had climbed into the mobile town: “As long as you hand over Cheng Ran, we promise not to hurt others.”
Seeing the danger approaching, everyone began to riot. When looking at Cheng Ran, more people had bad expressions.
Shi Qingyang had been paying attention to the people around him since the mobile town had an accident. He carefully felt the radiation fluctuations around him. This saved Cheng Ran when Gu Changjin didn’t react. At this time, seeing the expressions of the people around him, he no longer hesitated: “Let’s go to the armored vehicle.”
“Will the armored vehicle be surrounded?” Gu Changjin asked.
Shi Qingyang had already looked at others: “Those who are willing to help, get on the armored vehicle and drive towards Spark City! After being saved, the Cheng family will give everyone a big reward!” If you encountered mutant beasts, you could count on the people in the mobile town, but when you encountered other people outside…
Those people outside were very smart. They just talked to Cheng Ran directly. Undoubtedly, this situation made many people think carefully in their hearts. Shi Qingyang didn’t need to think much, but knew that few of these people would really put in effort.
According to the law of the country, they wouldn’t be sentenced if they didn’t save Cheng Ran. If they saved Cheng Ran, they might lose their lives. If they didn’t save Cheng Ran, nothing would happen to them in the end. At most, they might be suppressed by the Cheng family.
Under such circumstances, who would be willing to fight to save Cheng Ran? Not to mention that there might be internal traitors among these people.
Rather than spend time here, it was better to drive the armored vehicle away and move some people to help cover.
“You’ll just be attacked if you get on an armored vehicle! They just want Cheng Ran, but they won’t hurt him. Why don’t you let Cheng Ran go with them?” Sure enough, after the initial panic, the instinct to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages came out, and a male student of Spark Academy shouted.
Spark Academy recruited 16-year-old students who graduated at the age of 20. In the eyes of their parents, unfortunately, these students were still children. They had never been out of the city alone and had never encountered real danger. At this time, all they could think of is waiting for rescue.
“Yes, all of this is Cheng Ran’s fault!” Another person said.
However, while these students did not agree to join, the patrol team arranged by Xing Ou responded: “We will go with you!” Now that Cheng Ran had an accident, they had to take some responsibility, so they were naturally willing to help distract the enemy at this time.
“I’ll go too!” Chang Jiashi had found some useful weapons from the weapon room and said, “Ning An and Ping Haiyan will take care of those children. Let’s go!” There were not many people coming. If they left like this, they could also attract some attention.
“Don’t follow others,” Shi Qingyang said directly, seeing that there were still people who wanted to follow. Gu Changjin also let go of his power. Those people were afraid of Gu Changjin, and sure enough, they stopped moving.
Some armored vehicles were originally prepared in the mobile town. In addition, several armored vehicles of Spark Academy had been transferred along with Shi Qingyang’s armored vehicle. Because of the accident in the mobile town, no one had chosen those originally prepared on the mobile town. Most people eyed some of the armored vehicles from Spark Academy.
Shi Qingyang was no exception. He directly sat in the driver’s seat of one of them: “Get on quickly!” In fact, the quality of his new armored vehicle was better, but it was too easy to be targeted.
Chang Jiashi suddenly pulled a member of the inspection team to drive the armored vehicle Shi Qingyang had originally bought, while he sat in the back seat: “Let’s go!”
Chang Jiashi was sharing the risk with them! Shi Qingyang didn’t expect anyone else to be willing to do this at this time. He sincerely thanked: “Thank you!” As soon as the words came, he had driven out along the steel plate laid down from the mobile Town, and the goal was in the direction of Spark City.
“More than half of those people followed!” Gu Changjin looked behind him and said. At first, only half of the people followed up, but it was probably someone who said something. Later, most of the people followed them. It was likely that the spy on the mobile fortress told them that Cheng Ran had left.
Gu Changjin made up his mind and kept throwing attacks with the power of a level-3 rad-warrior behind him, trying to make others not pay attention to his car.
By this time, he even had no time to study when Shi Qingyang learned to drive an armored vehicle.
The people behind quickly followed up. Obviously, there were no traitors in the inspection team arranged by Xing Ou, because their main attacks fell on the new armored vehicle bought by Shi Qingyang.
The strength of the attack even made Chang Jiashi, a level-4 radiant warrior, unable to hold on!
Attacking like this was completely unlike their stated intent to catch Cheng Ran alive and exchange the Almighty Elixir with the Cheng family.
They were clearly trying to kill Cheng Ran!
“They don’t want it at all, they don’t want the prescription,” Gu Changjin said. Although Cheng Ran was a member of the Cheng family, everyone could see that the Cheng family did not pay too much attention to him, otherwise he could not have been left in Spark City, a tertiary city.
Therefore, it was actually impossible to catch him and exchange the prescription with the Cheng family. After all, no one could be sure that the prescription finally exchanged for was true, and no one could be sure that the Cheng family would be willing to exchange the prescription for him..
The Cheng family had two level-8 radiant warriors, but neither of them was Cheng Ran’s immediate family. They presumably didn’t care much about Cheng Ran’s life. Saying they wanted to catch Cheng Ran and ask for a prescription, maybe on the contrary, they just wanted to annihilate Cheng Ran!
They wanted to kill Cheng Ran from the beginning! Shi Qingyang thought a lot in an instant, but he couldn’t do anything. He just stepped on the accelerator and firmly held the steering wheel.
At this time, a sharp blade composed of huge radiant energy suddenly hit the armored vehicle where Chang Jiashi was located. The armored vehicle simply could not withstand such an attack and instantly disintegrated. At the same time, Chang Jiashi and another person wrapped themselves in a radiant energy shield and rolled out of it.
“Not them!” A voice sounded, and the attack originally concentrated on one car instantly dispersed, especially the powerhouse who was at least level-5. He controlled the surrounding radiation energy to break several cars in a very short time, and showed no mercy.
However, except for Cheng Ran, they really didn’t seem to plan to kill anyone else. As long as they found that Cheng Ran was not in the car, they would immediately disregard it.
All the people in the other cars were level-2 radiation warriors. Such an attack may even be fatal to them. Gu Changjin sighed and knew that they could not escape. When the attack of the powerful man behind him became stronger and stronger, he finally blocked the attacks. At the same time, he also determined that the man was a level-5 radiation warrior like him.
Though he was also level-five, there were many people on the other side, and Gu Changjin wasn’t young anymore…
“Gu Changjin is in that car!” The chaser shouted, “He won’t leave Cheng Ran behind, follow them.”
Shi Qingyang didn’t say a word. He stepped on the accelerator to the limit and added energy with one hand while he did so – if he didn’t fill up the energy at this time, he might not be free after a while.
The armored vehicle was very fragile in the eyes of the level-5 radiation warriors. Gu Changjin wrapped the whole car with radiation energy, and then fought with the people behind him. But even so, the car kept swinging.
At the beginning, Gu Changjin had been worried that Shi Qingyang, who had not been in contact with tanks before, would have problems because of such sloshing. He didn’t expect that Shi Qingyang had been driving very well.
However, even if Shi Qingyang’s driving skills were good, they also encountered problems. Just as the car was close to Spark City, a few more armored vehicles came in front. These armored vehicles stopped on the road flattened out by the mobile town. Seeing them, these other vehicles immediately launched an attack, and even two van type armored vehicles directly crashed towards them.
Shi Qingyang didn’t dare to pause. As soon as the steering wheel turned, he drove the car into the nearby dense forest.
“Shi Qingyang, stay steady!” Gu Changjin said. It was not easy to drive in the dense forest. Shi Qingyang was likely to have an accident. But if he drove, Shi Qingyang would never be able to stop those who pursued behind.
Now, they could only listen to fate!
Gu Changjin stopped several attacks again, and the radiation energy in his body was much weaker. At this time, a straw was handed to his mouth, and he drank the medicine as soon as he opened his mouth.
It was Cheng Ran who gave him the medicine. At this time, Cheng Ran should have been afraid and panicked, but in fact, it was not the case. He was tense, but methodically did the only thing he could do – feeding medicine.
Gu Changjin suddenly found that things were not particularly bad. The fact that Cheng Ran fed him medicine moved him. At the same time, Shi Qingyang’s reaction was unexpected.
Armored vehicles are more adaptable to the environment than mobile towns. Powerful armored vehicles could run amok in mutant plants, but if they did, the possibility of the car being damaged would also increase.
Shi Qingyang didn’t drive wildly like that. It was clear that there was no road where they passed, but he could always find the most suitable way forward. Not only that, after several powerful attacks, he could also move the car quickly so that the attack behind could not hit the armored vehicle.
Such a fighting consciousness… Gu Changjin couldn’t help feeling that Shi Qingyang was really a genius in some ways!
Shi Qingyang didn’t know that Gu Changjin was busy confirming his genius. Now, he was absorbed and didn’t dare to be distracted at all.
In a trance, he seemed to return to those days when he went out of the city to fight with beasts. He often went out of the city alone and was chased by monsters. At that time, this kind of situation where he drove the armored vehicle crazy to escape, wrapped the armored vehicle with radiation energy and avoided attacks, had to be carried out once.
Now his radiation energy was too weak to induce the surrounding radiation energy to wrap the armored vehicle. While driving, the only thing he could do was to dodge some attacks as much as possible.
When Shi Qingyang was driving, he was always close to Spark City. Now they were in the danger zone, and as long as they entered the safety zone, they were likely to be rescued. Unfortunately, he wanted to do this, but those people were unwilling to let him do so.
A total of seven armored vehicles followed them. At first, they were thrown away for a while because of Shi Qingyang’s good skills, but after a period of time, immediately two van type armored vehicles rushed up with damaged bodies and began to try to hit Shi Qingyang.
The performance of the chasing armored vehicle was better than the one they used. Gu Changjin’s radiant energy was not enough. Shi Qingyang naturally could not allow the armored vehicle to be hit by them, but could only dodge.
If it went on like this, they’d encounter problems sooner or later… After Shi Qingyang hesitated, he simply began to drive as far as possible to the place where some monsters were located. After being disturbed by him, those monsters would attack him, but because the target behind was larger, they were more likely to attack the people behind.
Even, sometimes he didn’t have to do anything to disturb the beasts at all. As long as he passed by the beasts, he could wait for the motorcade behind to disturb the creatures.
That’s what he did when he encountered a beehive. Immediately after that, an opponent’s armored vehicle fell out of line.
Moreover, when Shi Qingyang stepped on the accelerator to kill, Gu Changjin didn’t relax. Among the people who chased them, the strongest one was level-5 like him. Most of the others were level-3, and there were several level-4s. Although he could only protect himself most of the time, when Shi Qingyang avoided some attacks, he could also attack, and every time he attacked, he didn’t expect to hurt people, so he specifically attacked the armored vehicle. This also reduced the number of armored vehicles following.
But even so, they were still weak, and under the interception of those armored vehicles, they were now completely circling around Spark City. Of course, this circle was very large, and they couldn’t even enter the safety zone.
Cheng Ran had fewer and fewer potions in his hand. After a few hours of mental tension, Shi Qingyang also began to overdraw. Not to mention Gu Changjin, who was now close to the limit.
But behind them, there were still three armored vehicles chasing them hard.
At this time, Shi Qingyang suddenly found that they seemed to have arrived at a somewhat familiar place, which was the ant nest Gu Changjin took him to check not long ago.
