The boss was dumbfounded.
Who could have imagined that the young man in front of them had such incredible skills?
The driver’s chest was pierced by a bullet, and he was about to collapse to the ground, dying on the spot.
His hand trembled as he held the gun, desperately pulling the trigger, but only hearing the "click click" of an empty chamber.
At the sa ti.
Rong Ling sprang up from the ground instantly, leaping across the large bed, and kicked his wrist, causing the pistol to "clatter" onto the floor.
Rong Ling grabbed his collar, and with two "crack crack" sounds, directly dislocated his wrist bones.
The boss let out a painful "ow," his body shuddering as he wailed and scread.
He walked up to the two people, gently rubbing his wrist, and coldly asked, "Who are you? Why are you attacking us?"
"We... we..."
"Robbery?"
Rong Ling squinted dangerously, "You wouldn’t also want to destroy the evidence, would you?"
The boss was terrified by his frightful gaze, imdiately silencing himself, not daring to say another word.
Rong Ling didn’t bother with them, squatting down, and just this action frightened the boss into screaming, seemingly afraid he would finish them off at any ti, crying out in panic: "Don’t kill ! Don’t kill ."
"Don’t worry, I won’t kill you."
Rong Ling ignored his screams and called out under the bed: "Fei!"
Li Yufei promptly crawled out from under the bed.
Under the bed was full of dust.
Her hands were covered in blood.
Rong Ling’s gaze sharpened: "Blood?"
Li Yufei imdiately said, "It’s not mine..."
She looked around, fearing more people would co, and quickly said, "We need to get out of here first."
Rong Ling responded, "Mm," found the truck keys on the driver, quickly packed up their things, and took her hand, rushing downstairs.
...
The two walked out of the inn.
The truck was parked right at the entrance.
Through the rain, Rong Ling could vaguely see flas filling the skies in the distance.
There, it was probably the fallen Neutral Zone.
Li Yufei got into the truck first and turned on the compass.
Rong Ling also got in, sitting in the passenger seat.
In his current state, he wasn’t fit to drive, so Li Yufei took the initiative to sit in the driver’s seat and started the vehicle.
Rong Ling asked, "Where did the blood on you co from?"
Li Yufei’s voice trembled slightly, "From under the bed. I don’t know where it ca from."
Rong Ling said, "Earlier, I heard them say that just a few days ago, soone died in that bed."
Li Yufei clutched the steering wheel tighter in fright, "I guess that driver and boss were teaming up to rob passing travelers."
Rong Ling said, "Two thieves."
Li Yufei said, "There’s a war going on now, the situation is turbulent, society is chaotic, so we have to be even more careful."
Rong Ling saw her bloodless face and knew she was scared out of her wits.
She must never have encountered such a scene before.
Li Yufei said, "Peace is so nice. I hope we can return to China soon; I don’t want to stay in this place for even a mont."
Rong Ling said, "I wonder if the tourists on the Ocean Monarch were rescued."
He had already done everything he could.
Li Yufei said, "Although Sang Qin is insane, he only wants money, not lives. If you cooperate and give him the property, he won’t trouble them. Just worried whether the hurricane will affect the cruise ship."
If a mariti disaster occurs, survival chances are very slim.
Rong Ling asked, "Are you scared?"
Li Yufei looked at him, her gaze shimring slightly, "Thanks to you, I’m not that scared."
Rong Ling said, "First ti I saw that expression on your face."
He knew she was really startled, just tried to restrain herself.
The sky gradually broke.
The rain had lessened slightly.
Li Yufei opened the window, letting air mixed with dampness and grass sll drift inside, slightly unpleasant.
Rong Ling felt parched, took a can of water from his bag, drank it all, and casually threw the empty can out of the window.
The sky wasn’t fully bright yet, visibility remained poor, and coupled with the bad road conditions, Li Yufei drove very slowly.
Surrounded by low hills, sparse wild grass stretched out, a patch of earthy color, yet not a soul in sight.
Occasionally encountering a few bodies lying in the road, she dared not circumvent them for safety, uncertain if beside the road was a ditch or slope, therefore directly driving over.
After driving dozens of kiloters, they saw a checkpoint, with quite a few vehicles parked, and a large tanker truck, vaguely seeing a few livestock.
Due to the outbreak of war, many gas stations were destroyed, making checkpoints critical supply spots.
The oil price here was very cheap; with rich oil resources, gasoline costing eight yuan per liter in China only required a dozen Lilangcoins here, equivalent to two RMB.
Even a few loaves of bread could exchange for a tank of oil.
Oil here was cheap, yet food, fruit, fresh water were extrely expensive.
Especially during such tis, an apple was priceless.
Li Yufei drove the truck to the checkpoint and exchanged several fruits and loaves for a tank full of oil, bought so daily necessities, gave a bit of money when passing the checkpoint, allowing them to pass smoothly without too much trouble.
The truck drove towards the Neutral Zone.
After passing several checkpoints, getting through each with food and money, until entering Trelai State, the brutal reality of war beca more evident.
The once bustling streets were now silent, deserted.
On the roadside, chaotic piles of debris and corpses; just hours ago, the conflict reached the central area, their car being intercepted nurous tis, once directly halted by rebel army forces, Li Yufei seeing their tanks and missiles, obediently parked, accepting inspection.
Li Yufei got out first.
On seeing her face, they knew she was Chinese and didn’t give her a hard ti.
Rong Ling also got out, allowing them to inspect the vehicle.
Inside the bag were only daily supplies, besides a self-defense knife, nothing else was found.
Earlier at the hospital, Chinese businessn on Oudh Island warned her not to carry firearms, otherwise when passing checkpoints, if intercepted by rebel army forces, should they discover firearms or ammunition, they would cause trouble.
And those foodstuffs and cash, Li Yufei wouldn’t easily let them be discovered, hiding them in various other corners of the truck in advance.
Successfully passing through.
Entering Trelai State, having just been through an air raid, the entire city was shrouded in the shadow of death.
Smoke filled the air, battles raged everywhere.
Many refugees hopelessly clung to their dead or injured relatives, crying in despair.
Along the roadside, the scene was one of ruin; shops ransacked and looted.
The embassy was located in the governnt building.
Li Yufei identified the road signs along the way, spotting from afar the governnt building, bombed and barely standing.
