Chapter 297: They Are Bolder than They Should Be
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
The people around the car were Lu Changfeng and Lu Ting, along with other two from their squad. At that moment, Lu Changfeng’s face was showing disagreement. “Lu Ting, it’ll be too unkind for you to do it,” he said with a low voice, “They helped us, but we’re stealing from them.”
Lu Ting said scornfully, “Brother, do you think that they’re really helping us? I doubt it! They said that they’ll hire us as construction workers and pay us with rice and flour. That sounds so nice, but how can such a good thing be possible right now? They must have some unspeakable secrets. Perhaps, they want us to die. Besides, I’m only going to take the vehicle. I won’t do them any harm, will I? If I wanted to kill them, they would have become defenseless by now.”
Lu Changfeng stayed silent for a short while, then continued, “But, what about Chen Yuting and the others? What should they do if we left? We’ll get them killed.”
“What does that have to do with us?” said Lu Ting who seemed to be a little angry, “You’re both squad leaders, but why does everyone only listen to him? Why don’t they take you seriously? And those two useless dying men, I had said that we should leave them, but he insisted on bringing them back. How will that help? Will they ever recover?”
The two useless dying men that she mentioned were the two boys who were also kidnapped by those robbers.
Lu Changfeng said with a sullen look, “Lu Ting, there is hope as long as they’re still alive. And, we’re already halfway down to the base, aren’t we? Just hold on for a little longer, and we’ll be in the base tomorrow. Why do you have to do this?”
Lu Ting turned to look at the vehicle beside her and reached out a hand to touch it while saying greedily, “Brother, you’ve been thinking too much, that’s why you had Chen Yuting stepping on you the whole time. Brother, look at this car! Isn’t it cool? Isn’t it great? And all the weapons on it… We ordinary people can’t possibly obtain these. Brother, don’t you want such an incredible car? With this, we’ll be much safer when carrying future missions, won’t we?”
With those words, she slowly incited Lu Changfeng.
As she expected, the look in Lu Changfeng’s eyes changed slightly when he looked at the car after hearing her words.
No man didn’t like cars. This heavily armed military vehicle was way better than the ordinary modified cars, for both offense and defense.
“Brother, make the decision now,” Lu Ting urged Lu Changfeng anxiously, “Aliu’s hypnotizing power is going to fail soon. When they wake up, we won’t have a chance anymore!”
Lu Changfeng was tempted, but still had hesitation.
At that point, Lin Qiao sneakily approached Lu Ting, reached out a hand, and suddenly gripped her slim neck. Then, she pressed her on the car.
Thud!
“Ah!” Lu Ting wasn’t prepared for this. As Lin Qiao abruptly grabbed her neck and pressed her against the car, she burst in a scream. But then, she confusedly gazed at the air before her eyes.
However, her neck was grabbed by a hand, and that feeling was so real.
“Hem… em… hem… eh…” The suffocation made her brain feel hot, also giving her a dull pain in the chest. She hastily put her hands around her neck, and touched an arm. Then, she moved her hands forward along the arm, and only found a shoulder.
Lu Changfeng and the others were shocked by Lu Ting’s sudden movements. Her face seemed to have twisted in pain, as if something was grabbing her neck. However, they couldn’t see what was attacking her. They were all stunned, even forgetting to react.
Only until they saw a figure show up before Lu Ting did they realize what was happening.
“Woman, I could tell that you’re very ambitious. But, your courage turns out to be even bigger than your ambition.” A hoa.r.s.e voice was heard.
Lu Ting stared at Lin Qiao who showed up right before her eyes with fright. She opened her mouth, but couldn’t say anything. Her face had paled because of suffocation.
A series of metallic friction noise was heard as Lu Changfeng and the other two came back to their senses and pointed their guns at Lin Qiao.
“Stop it! Let her go!”
Lin Qiao turned to look at him. Her eyes were invisible, hiding under her sungla.s.ses and the darkness of night, yet her lips were curving downwards.
“I was going to let her live, but you don’t seem to want her to stay alive, as you’re actually pointing your guns at me.” Her deep and dry voice sounded even grimmer than it originally was in the darkness.
At the same moment, Lin Qiao slightly clenched her fingers which were squeezing Lu Ting’s neck.
Lu Ting opened her mouth wide to breathe like a fish which had left the water. However, she couldn’t inhale any air. She felt that her chest was going to explode. She opened her eyes so wide that her eyeb.a.l.l.s seemed to even pop out of her eye sockets.
Lu Changfeng paused again; his hands holding the gun were shaking slightly.
At that very moment, Lin Qiao moved. She took a step backward, then let go of Lu Ting.
Lu Ting softly fell to the ground like a piece of rag. She covered her neck with both hands while gasping for air.
“Eh-hem-hem…” Sitting slumped on the ground, she coughed in pain.
Lin Qiao looked at her and said, “I don’t like killing people for no reason, and I will never kill people just randomly. I’ll spare your lives, as you were only trying to steal from me. p.i.s.s off.”
While speaking, she turned and walked toward the club.
Lu Changfeng hurriedly dropped the gun and ran to Lu Ting.
“Lu Ting! How are you? Are you alright?”
Lu Ting had breathed in the air. The dull pain from her chest was not yet gone, but at least, she now felt better.
She raised her head and gazed at Lin Qiao’s back. Her face was wearing a dark look, her eyes filled with strong hatred and murderous intent. As Lu Changfeng got close to her, she suddenly seized his gun and fired at Lin Qiao.
A series of gunshots was heard.
“Lu Ting! Stop!” Lu Changfeng was startled by her move. By the time he could react, Lu Ting had already fired the gun.
Right when Lu Ting fired, Lin Qiao swung her arm backward and made a fist in the air, then spread her fingers. A few bullets were lying on her palm.
Ting! Ting! Ting! She threw the bullets to the ground.
Lu Ting and the others popped their eyes in shock. Lu Ting couldn’t see the bullets clearly, but she was able to recognize the sounds of bullets falling on the ground.
“You did this to yourself. Since you want to die… I’ll fulfill your wish,” Lin Qiao said blandly.
Then, she suddenly flicked her fingers toward Lu Ting.
Puff!
A slight sound of wind rose, then Lu Ting’s expression froze as she fell to the ground.
Seeing that Lu Ting had stopped moving, Lu Changfeng squatted in a flurry and held her while shouting, “Lu Ting! Lu Ting? Lu Ting!”
As he picked her up, he saw a stream of blood slowly gush out of her head. Then, half of her head fell off, exposing her pink brain matter.
Lin Qiao was less than two meters away from Lu Ting, so as she flicked her sharp claws, Lu Ting’s skull was directly cut off.
“I said that I don’t like killing people for no reason… But, that doesn’t mean that I’ll let people kill me,” Lin Qiao looked at Lu Changfeng and said in a bland tone.
