Chapter 145: Ram It! I Said So! (Supplement)
“Someone doesn’t want to show up…”
No one answered the Old Smoker. He glanced into the bus, his cloudy eyes moving slightly, lost in thought.
After they dealt with the monster corpses on the street, the bus smoothly continued its journey. It seemed that there were fewer monsters on the road ahead. Occasionally, a few low-grade monsters would pass by, but they were no match for the members of the Fox Hunting Squad.
The entire bus was filled with the joy of surviving a disaster. The atmosphere of dread and fear from before had completely vanished, and everyone looked at the members of the Fox Hunting Squad with reverence.
“I thought we were done for. The Fox Hunting Squad is too fierce! They even easily killed a War General level Wild Plains Lion. This money was well spent! I’ll definitely leave a good review when I get back!”
“That Blood Rain Arrow is amazing. Can a Warrior Class really master such a skill? So, High-Rank Warriors can be this powerful? Xiao Zhou, you should learn from them.”
“Got it, Dad. You’ve said it several times.”
Amidst the sound of the bus, everyone chattered about what had just happened. The instantaneous kill of the War General level monster was quite a shock to them.
Amidst the praise from these people, the Old Smoker felt a bit embarrassed. He knew that all of this came from a mysterious War General. He scanned the bus, his gaze sweeping over everyone who might be that person.
Who exactly is it?! In that situation, they killed that lion without anyone knowing, and there was even that blood rain.
This is definitely not something an ordinary War General can do. It’s very likely that the person has the strength of a Middle-Rank or even High-Rank War General.
Next to Su Jiu’s seat, the girl looked at the Old Smoker receiving all sorts of praise, and she didn’t quite understand Su Jiu. She whispered, “Senior, why didn’t you reveal your identity directly? He’s taking credit for your achievements…”
Su Jiu, being scanned by the Old Smoker’s gaze, shrugged indifferently and shook his head at the girl beside him, softly saying, “Taking credit? No, this isn’t credit. Don’t say another word. Watch everyone on the bus for me and see if anyone is constantly contacting people on their phones.”
It’s better to be safe than sorry. This bus is a mixed bag. If even one person is an Ancient God Cult follower and contacts that Si Chen, it would be the worst possible outcome.
Just because she can fight Si Chen doesn’t mean she has to mindlessly confront a bunch of Ancient God Cult members. Being careful is never wrong—now, the priority is to determine the bus’s location.
With that thought, Su Jiu took out his phone and began to locate the area, discovering that the bus was nearing the central part of the highway, which was also the area where the red light had appeared in the news.
Looking out the window, he saw that faint red mist had already begun to drift around them. Though there were no monsters, the atmosphere was even more eerie.
The mist gradually thickened, and the surrounding visibility visibly decreased. An uneasy atmosphere resurfaced, but due to the Old Smoker’s previous “great display of power,” they didn’t show it.
Moreover, as the bus traveled, Su Jiu noticed that some white protective covers on the roof had broken arcs of electricity fluctuating from them. It was evident that they had been impacted by something cylindrical. This should be the red light zone mentioned in the news.
“There’s light ahead—it’s people! They seem to be wearing military uniforms, asking us to stop for inspection.”
The driver slowly reduced speed. He glanced at the Old Smoker leaning against the door and said softly.
“Let’s wait a moment…”
The Old Smoker tapped the ash from his cigarette and looked ahead. The road was already blocked. Then his gaze fell upon the middle-aged man leading the group. Although he was holding his phone, his sturdy build indeed had the demeanor of a soldier.
Then, seeing the energy shield forming on the other person’s face, the Old Smoker’s eyes narrowed slightly. An energy shield…
Something is wrong! Why are there monsters ahead if the army is here?
A paradox!
Seeing that the bus was still moving forward, a loud horn suddenly blared: “Vehicle ahead, please stop immediately for a routine inspection.” Then, several people in military uniforms ran over.
Just by glancing at the army ahead, Su Jiu confirmed their identity. There was no other reason; it was simply the gleaming white cross on the collar of the sturdy officer.
Ordinary people might be confused, but she had seen this many times and could immediately determine their origin—members of the Ancient God Cult.
As Su Jiu had anticipated, the other party seemed to be prepared, wearing these rather formal military uniforms and directly intercepting the road.
“Did you find him?”
Su Jiu gave a slight smile to the girl beside him. Ever since that War General level Wild Plains Lion appeared, she felt it was a deliberate setup. Now, seeing this, wasn’t it because there was an inside informant on this bus?
After all, there were quite a lot of people on the bus, over fifty people!
Hearing this, the girl withdrew her sweeping gaze and whispered, “The man wearing a mask in the last row on the left. He’s been constantly sending messages on his phone. I noticed him just now.”
“Indeed, I saw him using his phone earlier too.”
Nodding lightly, Su Jiu suddenly stood up and casually walked towards the back seats. Passing by the passengers, she quietly reached the back seats like a cat, and glancing sideways, she could vaguely see some of the content on it.
A9: [Where is Piggy?]
Me: [Coming. Aren’t you worried about the Fox Hunting Squad over there?]
A9: [No need. Lord Shadow Two told us their strength. That stupid lion was probably killed by an alchemical artifact.]
Me: [Sir, should I jump]
“Jump what? Why don’t you jump down below?” Su Jiu smiled faintly, snatched the man’s phone, and then grabbed his neck with one hand.
“You… mmph” The masked man tried to cry out but found his neck choked tightly.
Su Jiu, without any hesitation, gave a slight twist.
With a “crack,” the other person was immediately incapacitated before he could even stutter, as he was in a single rear seat. And everyone was nervously looking at the army ahead, so no one noticed that he had collapsed.
Su Jiu held the phone and looked at the incomplete text. She deleted it and typed lightly: [Plan has changed—let them pass. Lord Shadow Two wants you to wait here. He has other arrangements in the rear.]
It’s better to resolve one thing than to create more. There are too many passengers here. If that Priest of theirs appeared, she couldn’t guarantee the safety of these people.
A9: [Other arrangements? But I haven’t received any other notification.]
Su Jiu looked at this text, and a flash of inspiration crossed her mind. She typed in her guess: [If you delay Lord Shadow Two’s arrangements and cause the Blood Sacrifice arranged by the Priest to be wasted, none of your family will escape.]
After a moment of hesitation, the other party replied:
[Okay.]
As the Old Smoker and the others were about to tell the driver to stop, Su Jiu noticed that the middle-aged officer had already dispersed the soldiers. A smile curved her lips, and she immediately raised her head and shouted, “Don’t stop, ram straight through!”
“What are you a student messing around for? Those are military personnel ahead.”
All eyes on the bus turned towards them. The seductive woman frowned and spoke, but the next moment, the Old Smoker held up his hand to stop them.
He narrowed his eyes at Su Jiu and found her expression calm, her eyes like a tranquil village under the moon, as if she understood everything.
“Is it that adult?”
In just one or two seconds, the Old Smoker looked at the dense bloody mist outside the window, then forcefully knocked on the armrest, and grinned as he said, “Ram it! I said so!”
Whether it was him or not, those military people were too bizarre, and their location was also wrong. They absolutely could not get off the bus easily.
