Chapter 143: The Broken Opening! (Supplement)
“Crack!”
“It’s just a little cat, I can handle it easily. But this big Dark Night Tiger coming in feels off.”
With the familiar sound of the Old Smoker, the car door opened, and the Middle-aged Man got into the car as if nothing had happened.
There had been localized issues with formations before, so he wasn’t too nervous.
The Seductive Woman beside him glanced at the darkening sky outside the window and whispered into his ear, “Something feels wrong today… It seems there are groups of carrion crows passing by ahead, but it shouldn’t be a big problem, we should be able to handle it.”
Several Team Members nearby heard about the carrion crows and their expressions slightly stiffened. Then, one of the Glasses-wearing Young Men put down his game, stood up, looked at the woman, and said with a solemn expression:
“Captain, carrion crows don’t gather in groups for no reason. Something has definitely gone wrong ahead, it’s possible there’s a monster free-for-all.”
As a gold-medal team, they were experienced and very familiar with the habits of the scavengers of the southern region – carrion crows.
The Captain heard this and a look of annoyance appeared on his face. He leaned back against the seat and started smoking his pipe again, occasionally tapping the metal pipe against the seat rod, making a small sound.
The driver didn’t dare to start without his permission, and the passengers didn’t dare to breathe, watching the Captain nervously.
If they didn’t make it to the neighboring city today and missed the Gaokao, it would be a devastating blow to their children… and even their entire families.
Glancing around, the Old Smoker took a deep puff, then exhaled forcefully. He used the bowl of his pipe to tap the armrest, and said in a deep voice, “Damn it! Drive!”
Turning back was impossible. They had already taken half the money, were they going to spit it back out? Never in this lifetime!
The bus bypassed the corpse of the Dark Night Tiger and slowly began to drive forward, then accelerated.
Seeing the scenery outside the window begin to blur, Su Jiu withdrew his gaze and thought to himself – between Qinghai and Huayang, no matter how powerful the monsters encountered, they would at most be Initial Stage Battle Generals. Even if the formation broke, it shouldn’t be anything to fear.
“Hey, if we keep going forward, will we be alright?” the Girl beside him asked Su Jiu in a low voice.
Su Jiu smiled, handed her a piece of bubble gum, and similarly whispered, “It shouldn’t be a big problem, it’s probably just a fight between monster beasts that damaged the formation. There aren’t any large monsters between the two places.”
“Thanks… uh.”
Taking the gum, the girl replied in a low voice. Looking at Su Jiu’s pale face, her eyes twitched slightly, and she couldn’t help but think: Don’t just comfort me, your little face is so pale from fear, are you really okay?
However, to prevent the atmosphere from getting any colder, the girl quickly changed the subject and said jokingly, “Monsters like this, can your Class A handle one of them? If there are a lot of similar monsters, it will be up to you.”
“Don’t worry, don’t worry… If there are monsters, I’ll make sure you don’t get hurt.”
Yawning, Su Jiu waved his hand indifferently, then took another swig of wine, curled up into a small ball, and fiddled with his phone. However, his eyes were serious – it was strange. Such a large break should have been repaired by now.
Through the app, Su Jiu looked at the trending search “Accidents in Gaokao across the country” but ignored it. He quickly entered the name of the Huaqing Expressway, and the first result was key information –
“Monster Appears at Qinghai City Toll Station, Situation Unknown,” timestamped not long ago, shortly after the bus departed.
“Gugu—” Birdsong came from outside the window, and several white shadows flew by.
Su Jiu’s expression startled. He looked out the window again and saw traces of small monsters. Now they were brushing past some Gugu Birds, and he could faintly hear the sound of their feathers scraping against the vehicle.
“Screech—”
What happened?!
Su Jiu quickly opened the content in the mobile app, and the information was reflected in his blood-red eyes:
[10:58 Emergency Notice: Warning to residents of Huayang to Qinghai, the formation on X968 Expressway has some issues, our technicians are on their way to repair it.]
[11:23 Follow-up – Technicians have lost contact, maintenance army has been dispatched, please do not approach the central section of the road at will. According to relevant footage, a large number of monsters have swarmed there.]
[11:36 A large amount of red light of unknown cause appeared at the Hua Yang entrance section! The light is attacking the formation along the road!]
[12:01 The formation has been shattered!! A large number of monsters are now entering in an orderly fashion, vehicles in transit should not head towards the Hua Yang section!]
Su Jiu’s eyes scanned the most crucial part – [Huayang Formation Shattered], and a name suddenly flashed in his mind – Si Chen, was it his plan?
Then what was the purpose? From the current situation, it was just a simple attack on the road…
Taking a deep breath, Su Jiu shook his head. Never mind all that. His mission was complete, and his vacation was next.
As long as the bus kept driving, there shouldn’t be any major problems.
“Here they come, all monsters!!”
At this moment, the speed of the car slowed down, and the voice of the old woman from before could be heard from inside, sounding a bit neurotic. Su Jiu followed her gaze forward and saw scattered, unrated monsters.
From Mischievous Monkeys to Scarlet Flame Wolves, the roadside was full of monsters. Their eyes were red as if guided by something. The members of the Fox Hunting Team inside the car were using some skills to clear these monsters.
The car could pass at a slower speed, but with the increasing density of small monsters, the Team Members’ attacks seemed insignificant.
Some monsters’ claws hooked onto the windows. Su Jiu looked at the Scarlet Flame Wolf perched on the window; it was about to extend its claws. The girl beside him tremblingly unbuckled her seatbelt and shouted, “Classmate, quickly, let’s go!”
“Be quiet!”
Glancing over, Su Jiu pouted slightly and flicked his finger gently at the claw. With a “Bang!” sound, the entire Scarlet Flame Wolf exploded into a blood mist. The blood mist “pattered!”, splattering onto the blood-colored Energy Shield that was effusing beside them.
Only the girl saw this scene. Everyone else was busy with their own tasks. She stood on the aisle, stunned, thinking – Holy shit, that happened so fast.
External Energy Shield? Damn it, you only see that on TV for War General level!
A Class A student? Screw that, there’s no way, even teachers don’t have this level of skill!
“Classmate, you…”
Before she could ask Su Jiu two more questions…
“Ahhhh! A monster broke in!”
Suddenly, a student by the window had their face scratched by a Mischievous Monkey, letting out a huge scream. At this moment, the passengers’ nerves became even more tense, and some had even started to speak: “How about we turn back?”
“Captain, we don’t want the commission, please go back quickly.”
“There’s definitely a problem with the road ahead, let’s go!”
With these voices, the parents looked at the Team Members who were already struggling and started to speak. The Gaokao was important, but their lives were more important!
The Old Smoker shouted, “Shut up,” then swept his gaze over the monster horde with a look of uncertainty. A white light flashed in his hand, and a blue, glowing boomerang appeared. He flicked his pipe, gritted his teeth, and prepared to engage personally.
“Watch this!”
With a wave of his hand, the boomerang flew out through the window. He killed the monsters as easily as cutting vegetables and melons, and the splashing blood made “咚咚!” sounds on the car window, creating a truly shocking effect.
The students couldn’t help but open their mouths and murmur to themselves, “So strong… Is an Advanced Stage Warrior this strong?”
” boom!”
Suddenly, a huge figure fell from the sky in the distance. Its massive body vaguely showed flowing purple manes, and purple External Qi surged outwards. It was a Wild Plains Lion that had reached the Battle General level!
And behind it followed many other types of monsters, like a leader.
And the white formation around the road had been completely destroyed! There was a hole the size of a truck jammed into it by an unknown object!
The two connected sections on top could be faintly seen, with white electric arcs making faint sounds, indicating that the destruction had not happened long ago.
