Chapter 558: Being Attacked On The Way
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
“Why didn’t Chief Wu head back home with us?” Abruptly, Yan Fangyu looked at the two at the front and asked. Lu Tianyi gave her a sideways glance, but didn’t make any sound. He didn’t want to talk to that woman now.
Kong Qingming noticed the look on Lu Tianyi’s face, so he turned back and said to Yan Fangyu coldly, “He might have some other work to do there.”
“What can it possibly be? Shouldn’t he leave that place immediately to go back and send out his people to give that woman a strike back?” Yan Fangyu spoke in a very strong tone with jealousy.
“Strike back for what? Hasn’t he solved all the problems already?” Kong Qingming responded blandly.
“Are we giving them five level-six zombie nuclei for nothing? Those are level-six zombie nuclei! Those can improve at least three level-six superpowered people to level-seven! Of course, we can’t let them have those!” Yan Fangyu cared a lot about the five zombie nuclei, as she didn’t think that Wu Chengyue would give away five level-six zombie nuclei in one go. If she could have one of those nuclei, she might even break into level-seven. But now, Lin Qiao had all five of them.
The more she thought about that, the angrier she got. She told herself that when she returned to the base, she would certainly ask Zou s.h.i.+hui to talk to Wu Chengyue about sending out the army to destroy that new base, which only had thousands of people!
Kong Qingming saw Yan Fangyu’s face in the rearview mirror. He admitted that her face was pretty, but that prettiness was ruined by those things she had done secretly, and that look on her face now. He even felt disgusted upon looking at her face now.
He didn’t want to continue the conversation with her, so he replied perfunctorily, “Chief Wu has already made his decision about that, and we have no right to change it.”
After saying that, he glanced at Lu Tianyi and found the latter pulling a long face. He knew that Yan Fangyu’s voice had probably annoyed Lu Tianyi.
At that moment, Lu Tianyi wanted very much to tell Yan Fangyu to shut up, but didn’t want to talk to her. So, he told himself that he just needed to drive back to the base and send her back home as quickly as possible.
Therefore, he accelerated again.
After dark, when the car entered Jiaxing City, a dark figure caught up with it.
Lu Tianyi, who was driving, suddenly noticed that a quick and strong gust of wind was stirred up behind them. It was dark, so by the time Lu Tianyi found it, it was already too late for him to dodge.
“Enemy!” At the same time, Yan Fangyu suddenly turned to look out of the back window with a serious look as well. She did that because she suddenly felt energy waves from behind. As she turned back, she heard a roaring gale from the darkness of night.
Next, the three in the car felt that the car was turned upside down violently.
Boom! Squeak… Boom!
The car was blown into the air, turning a few times and then b.u.mping into a tree nearby.
The three in the car had prepared themselves for that and reacted timely. Yan Fangyu suffered worse than the two at the front as she was wearing a safety belt.
Bang! The three opened the upturned car’s doors and crawled out of.
Yan Fangyu’s face was covered in blood. She raised a hand and touched the blood on her face, then burst in screams, “My face! My… my face!”
Broken gla.s.s pieces had left a long wound on her face, and one on her forehead. Blood gushed out of those wounds, covering her entire face.
Lu Tianyi and Kong Qingming felt so annoyed when they heard her scream. Under such a dangerous situation, she actually had the mood to worry about her face.
They planned to drag Yan Fangyu to the side, as the car might explode soon.
Once they reached out their hands and grabbed Yan Fangyu who had been disfigured and was stunned because of that, a fire ball descended from the sky and landed on that car.
“Watch out!”
Boom!
Thankfully, the two of them dragged Yan Fangyu and jumped to the side, saving themselves from the explosion of the car.
After the explosion, Lu Tianyi and Kong Qingming stood up, holding Yan Fangyu up from the ground and preparing to find a cover.
“Get up, go!”
The explosion woke Yan Fangyu up from the shock which was caused by the destruction of her face. She looked around, then cursed out loud, “Who are you! Who are you! I know that you’re from Upper City Base! Aren’t you?”
What responded her was a sharp, invisible wave of wind blades.
Yan Fangyu vigilantly rolled to the side and dodged those wind blades.
“Stop talking and run!” Kong Qingming shouted at that woman who still had the courage to curse her enemies under such a situation. The wind-powered enemy was clearly at level-seven. The wind was strong and fast, and the wind blades came in a giant wave.
The three of them were no match for the enemy, not even in combination.
Soon, Lu Tianyi and Kong Qingming sensed the strong intention of killing from the enemy.
Yan Fangyu had discovered that too. The look on her face turned cold and grim as a sneer was seen on her blood-covered face. “Wanna kill me? It’s not gonna be easy.”
“No! They’re not from Upper City Base!” Kong Qingming said to Lu Tianyi at that moment.
He said that because those enemies weren’t only targeting Yan Fangyu, but all three of them.
He sensed a wave of chillness from his spine once his voice faded. His rich experience allowed him to turn nimbly and dodge.
Puff! Puff! Puff! A few sharp wind blades nearly brushed across him.
He managed to dodge, but still felt a burning pain from his back. Then, he felt that the cloth on his back was soaked by a warm liquid.
The cold air worsened the pain, but Kong Qingming didn’t really care about his injury. His current mission was to protect Yan Fangyu. If she weren’t sent back to the base safely, he and Lu Tianyi would need to take the responsibility for that.
The enemy was way too strong. Even without showing up, his or her great wind power had made the three of them defenseless. They weren’t able to fight back, as they didn’t even know where the enemy was.
At that moment, Lu Tianyi had already rushed to Yan Fangyu’s side. While s.h.i.+elding her against the enemy’s attack, he told her to move away quickly.
“Go! Or none of us can leave!” Lu Tianyi shouted at her.
Yan Fangyu turned around quickly, rus.h.i.+ng toward a building nearby.
Kong Qingming immediately rushed over as Lu Tianyi was covering for Yan Fangyu. He didn’t help Lu Tianyi defend against the enemy’s attack, but followed behind Yan Fangyu to protect her.
He wanted to help his good friend, but he understood Lu Tianyi’s meaning. If they both stayed here to try and stop the enemy, no one would be protecting Yan Fangyu when she faced dangers again.
If anything happened to her, fighting against the current enemy would become meaningless.
Their mission was to escort Yan Fangyu. They didn’t like her, but they could not let any accident happen to her during the mission.
