Chapter 20: A Life-and-Death Kill

Lin Xian’s heart pounded wildly, his eyes wide with a grim stare at the fallen Liu Wei.

The blood and pain seemed to have ignited a madness within him.

I can’t die, I don’t want to die!

The instinct for survival made his blood surge, and the pain all over his body seemed to instantly go numb. A successful blow sent Liu Wei to the ground. He didn’t pause for even half a breath. He turned, raised his hand, and aimed an Air Cannon at Liu Wei’s face!

Puff!

A bloody hole appeared on Liu Wei’s face!

“Ah!”

Liu Wei let out a ferocious scream. His four tentacles rolled up the pebbles by the riverbed and threw them wildly at Lin Xian. The force was so great that the stones made a whistling sound.

Lin Xian didn’t dare to be careless and quickly dodged to the side.

“I’ll smash you to death!”

Liu Wei was also pushed to the brink at this time, his liver and gallbladder splitting. He frantically rolled up stones and threw them at Lin Xian.

He could see that this guy in front of him was an agile type. Besides being able to shoot some kind of hidden weapon with his hand, he didn’t seem to have any other threat.

Otherwise, he wouldn’t still be alive.

Facts proved that although Liu Wei’s brain was simple, he had guessed correctly. At this time, besides an Air Cannon, Lin Xian only had a useless Ice Shield. Other than that, he could only fight Liu Wei in close combat.

And Liu Wei was now on guard. It was difficult for Lin Xian to have a second chance to get close. Two hands against six hands, if the other party still dared to get close, Liu Wei really didn’t know how he could lose.

But he was also afraid of Lin Xian’s long-range moves. So after the two of them pulled away, they were both breathing and confronting each other. Neither of them made the first move.

Beep, beep.

At this time, the watch on Lin Xian’s wrist suddenly rang.

Both of their expressions changed, because Liu Wei also realized.

It was getting dark!

“Brother, it’s getting dark. Why don’t we stop fighting and go back first?” Liu Wei’s face was covered in blood, his eyes were dark green, and his whole person was like a demon crawling out of a sea of blood.

Lin Xian sneered.

“Do you think that’s possible?”

What kind of idiot would believe such nonsense in an apocalyptic situation?

Liu Wei’s eyes twitched slightly. This young man opposite him was indeed not a good person. He didn’t fall for his tricks at all.

“Fine, then I’d like to see how many more times you can point.”

Liu Wei’s eyes were like torches, constantly scanning Lin Xian’s body.

As an ability user, he naturally knew that using abilities would consume a lot of physical strength. And the other party’s long-range attack method must consume more energy than him. Otherwise, the other party would have already shot at him like an automatic rifle. Why would he need to find various opportunities to attack?

Although he looked fat-headed and big-eared, Liu Wei didn’t think he was stupid. On the contrary, having done small business all his life, he felt that he was extremely shrewd.

“Fine.”

Lin Xian’s face did not change. He was not affected by the other party at all. He directly raised his right index finger and pointed it at Liu Wei’s face.

When Liu Wei saw this, he reflexively raised his tentacles to block. But if he blocked his face, he wouldn’t be able to see Lin Xian’s next move, which was the most troublesome thing.

So he had an idea. He used two tentacles to protect his face, and the other two tentacles continued to grab the pebbles on the ground and throw them at Lin Xian.

And when Lin Xian saw his posture, his eyes were cold. He stood still and just slightly tilted his head to dodge a stone. Then his finger slowly moved down and aimed at Liu Wei’s crotch.

Puff!

The Air Cannon pierced through!

Liu Wei’s whole body trembled violently, and a sharp pain came over him. Because Lin Xian had been trying to blow his head from the beginning, Liu Wei had never thought that Lin Xian would also blow his little head…

“Ah!!!”

His crotch exploded. Liu Wei opened his mouth wide and screamed. In a moment of distraction, he found that Lin Xian had taken advantage of this gap to appear in front of him like a ghost. The breath of death came over him. He burst out with an amazing survival instinct, and his four tentacles shot out!

“You die for me!”

Bang!

However, his full-force blow suddenly hit an ice wall. The ice wall also instantly shattered, and ice chips flew everywhere. Who knew that in that instant, he didn’t see Lin Xian’s shadow. When he reacted, he found that in front of him… a finger had appeared!

A finger pointing at his eye!

“Wait!”

At this moment, he suddenly regretted it immensely.

Puff!

Liu Wei’s eyes trembled violently. Before he could finish his words, his left eye had already become a bloody hole, and his whole body fell backward stiffly.

He had never dreamed that he, who had the boss-level ability of “Doctor Octopus,” would die so inexplicably at the hands of a young man after being a local emperor for only a few days.

Cough, cough~!

Seeing Liu Wei fall, Lin Xian suddenly coughed up a few mouthfuls of blood. But he didn’t even have a moment to breathe. He picked up a large pebble from the ground, walked forward, and smashed it at Liu Wei’s face!

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Every time he smashed, his tentacles would struggle strangely.

Until… there was no more movement.

Only then did he sit down on the ground and gasp for breath.

Phew~ Phew~

The adrenaline gradually faded, and a sharp pain began to come. From the battle just now, he was lucky that he didn’t have any broken bones, but he had injured some of his internal organs, and there were a lot of external injuries.

At this time, a flash of light appeared in the sky. Lin Xian’s expression changed.

“Damn it!”

…

On the other side, on the train, Chen Sixuan leaned against the depths of the aisle, her expression tense as she looked at the cockpit door that was being pounded on.

“Open the door, open the door quickly!!!”

Bang, bang, bang!

A yellow-haired man with a pistol climbed onto the windshield and smashed the glass hard with the butt of his gun.

But besides the crack that Liu Wei had made at the beginning, the windshield didn’t move at all.

“Get out of my way!”

Another man with a submachine gun climbed up, kicked the yellow-haired man away, and with a cigarette in his mouth, stood at the front of the train and fired a volley at the windshield with his submachine gun!

Rat-a-tat-tat!

In an instant, sparks flew, and stray bullets ricocheted.

“Holy shit, it’s so hard. Is it bulletproof glass!?”

“You fucking be careful, Da Fei, bullets don’t have eyes.”

“This door won’t open either, unless we use a cutting machine.”

“Where the hell am I going to find a cutting machine for you now…”

“Forget it, why don’t we go first? It’s getting dark.”

Hearing that it was getting dark, the faces of the few hooligans also changed.

“That man was killed by Brother Wei. This woman is just meat in a can. We’ll bring some tools tomorrow and get her out.”

“Hehe, I put a few stones on the tracks, so the train can’t run either!”

“By the way, Brother Da Fei, that Zhao family’s car was used by Brother Liu Wei to block the road. There’s no other space in the convoy. What should we do? Should we let them squeeze in?”

“Squeeze my ass. Let them get lost. They didn’t contribute much anyway, and they’re dragging their families along.”

“Then we’ll just ignore them…”

The group of people left, cursing. Chen Sixuan looked at the clock in the carriage, and as time passed minute by minute, her heart was in her throat.

Is he dead?

It’s getting dark, what should I do…

Chen Sixuan’s expression was tense. She held the handle of the gate tightly, trying to keep her sanity.

More than ten minutes later, a rapid knocking sound suddenly sounded. Chen Sixuan thought it was Lin Xian and was about to speak, but she heard a woman’s urgent shout from outside.

“Is anyone there? Is anyone inside? Please, can you let our family in?”

“Hey, miss!” At the car window, a well-mannered man with glasses climbed up. He immediately shouted when he saw Chen Sixuan, “Can you open the door and let us in to hide? It’s getting dark!”

“Please!” The woman outside seemed to be on the verge of tears. The sound of a baby crying came out at the same time, “Waa, waa~” It was heart-wrenching.

“Miss, please, we won’t eat or take anything. We just want to hide inside…”

“Our car was destroyed, we have nowhere to go.”

“Wuwuwu…”

“Please, please be kind.”

“This, this,” the woman cried hysterically. “If you’re not at ease, can you just save my child? He’s still so young, he can’t eat much…”

“Please.”

The woman’s cries, the man’s pleas, the baby’s cries, a series of sounds bombarded Chen Sixuan’s ears. She was curled up in a corner at this time, tightly covering her ears, silent tears constantly falling, her heart struggling with a tearing pain.

Don’t shout, don’t shout…

The clock in the cockpit slowly turned.

Gradually, the crying faded, and the knocking on the door came to an abrupt end.

Night fell
