Chapter 656: Chapter 656 Unexpectedly, You Saved Me_1

"Big Brother, don’t be in such a hurry, little brother has been hiding in the mountains for nearly half a year now. It’s not easy to come across such fresh goods, and it’d be a real pity not to enjoy myself a bit," one of the flat-top heads said with a sleazy smile, relentlessly thrusting into the woman.

"The gunshots just now might draw those monsters over here, so just hurry up," the leader said.

The leader had a scarred face, his countenance marred with horizontal flesh, menacing and fierce. You heaved an inward sigh of relief that you’d listened to Hu Jing’s advice, otherwise you really would have been done for this time.

Not daring to stay long, just as you prepared to stealthily return, you discovered that, at some point, a bamboo viper had coiled itself around your foot!

You got quite a scare, and although you didn’t scream, you still made a bit of noise.

"Who’s there!" Scarface shouted in your direction.

Run!

At this point, where would you dare to linger, you turned and sprinted!

"Bang!"

Just as your ears caught the sound of the gunshot, your thigh was struck with intense pain.

"Gan, I’ve been shot!"

Your body hit the ground, and just as you tried to get up, you felt someone step on your back.

"Wow, aren’t there a lot of clever people these days, actually knowing to run into the mountains. But don’t you realize that the mountains are actually more dangerous than the outside?"

Scarface kicked you over onto your back. He held a handgun in his hand, and although you were no expert on firearms, you knew for certain you were in serious trouble this time.

"Big Brother, I was just passing by, just passing by, please have mercy. It’s not worth wasting a bullet on a small fry like me," you said through gritted teeth because of the searing pain in your leg, while smiling appeasingly at Scarface.

"Heh, I don’t really want to kill you either. But you’re not going to last much longer anyway, with that leg wound I doubt you’ll get far. Heh, saving a bullet is good too." Scarface turned to leave and yelled to Bald Head, "Bald Head, if you don’t leave soon, I’m not waiting for you. Get ready to sleep with the zombies!"

"Big Brother, wait for me!"

"Bang!" A gunshot sounded.

"Roar!"

Two zombies, both male, likely hikers from the look of their clothes, one even carrying a backpack. One of them was clearly not slow, walking in your direction.

You hurriedly crawled towards the direction of the off-road vehicle. Although it wasn’t far when you came, now that you couldn’t stand up, you were forced to crawl, watching as the two zombies drew nearer, you could only scramble more desperately.

"Vroom! Vroom vroom vroom—"

That was the sound of an engine!

"Damn it, that fox fairy is trying to make a getaway in the car!" As soon as you heard the engine of the off-road vehicle, you immediately figured that Hu Jing was going to drive away alone, and you couldn’t help but regret it deeply.

However, contrary to your expectations, the off-road vehicle, instead of driving away, sped towards you.

"Roar!" A zombie was already upon you.

"Bam!" The off-road vehicle charged straight at the zombie, sending it flying dozens of meters away, then after swiveling the vehicle around, Hu Jing hurriedly drove towards the other zombie!

After knocking away both zombies, Hu Jing quickly got out of the car, helped you up, and asked, "Are you okay?"

"Not dead yet, just didn’t expect you to save me."

"One good turn deserves another. You’ve saved me three times, I still owe you two," Hu Jing said, her expression as cold as usual, as if doing the most natural thing.

"Regardless, I still have to thank you."

You were assisted by Hu Jing to the passenger seat, and afterward, Hu Jing drove onto the mountain road. Along the roadside, she spotted the woman who had been ****ed. The woman’s body was in disarray, and she had a bullet in her forehead; she was already dead. Seeing the woman’s state, Hu Jing’s already cold face grew even colder.

You didn’t say anything, just checking your own injuries.

Your luck was extremely good, because the bullet went straight through your thigh, leaving only a bullet hole, which means you didn’t have to perform the classic movie scene of cutting flesh and digging out bullets.

"There should be a first aid kit under the passenger seat, look for it."

Hu Jing continued to drive, unaware whether those two drug traffickers had heard the engine noise. She needed to put as much distance between them and herself as possible in the shortest time—these two people were a hundred times more dangerous than the zombies!

Indeed, you found the first aid kit under the passenger seat and swiftly started to bandage yourself up.

Glancing at you, she saw you skillfully spraying wound medicine and quickly wrapping up the wound. She nodded slightly, clearly approving of your actions.

"There are only two bars of fuel left. Where were you planning to go?"

Your complexion was also poor, because you too realized the predicament that lay ahead.

In fact, it meant that the most advantageous condition you had against the zombies was lost. Now, you were effectively a liability.

"I... I’m looking for someone."

You sighed softly, never having imagined that you would almost fall at the hands of two criminals. In the real world, with your Sen Luo Eye, you could have resolved the situation in a matter of moments, avoiding the need to be as skittish as you were now.

At this moment, you realized your desire for power had reached an unprecedented level.

However, that was just a wishful thinking. Now, within the Boundary Magic Array, without your Sen Luo Eye, you could only be slaughtered by your enemies at will.

Fortunately, the Order Barrier that stripped you of your Sen Luo Eye had also restricted the powers of people like Liu Bai.

They could not wantonly pursue you; they had to abide by the rules and order within the barrier, taking these as a basis for their battles with you.

"Looking for someone? Who are you looking for? Where do you plan to look?"

Turning your head to look at Hu Jing, you sighed faintly, "I don’t know where she is. It’s as if she’s everywhere, yet as if she’s worlds away from me."

"Who is she?" Hu Jing asked.

"Zhao’er, my girlfriend."

"Zhao’er?"

Hu Jing looked at you, falling silent.

After a while, Hu Jing suddenly said, "With this amount of fuel, we can only make it as far as Lingyin Temple."

"Let’s head to Lingyin Temple then. Perhaps we’ll find something new there."

The one good thing about the Order Barrier was that its trajectory had been set in advance. It was like playing an online game with many tasks, even hidden ones. Before accepting a task, you were free, but once you accepted one, you had to follow the pre-set process of the task. Otherwise, you couldn’t complete it and move on to the next stage.

So, what you needed to do right now was not to run around aimlessly, but to proceed following the plot’s development.

"Lingyin Temple tends to have many tourists, which means there will only be more zombies there, not fewer."

"Mm, I know. You just drive. There will definitely be a turning point when we get there."

"A turning point?" Hu Jing was puzzled, unsure where your confidence was coming from.

During the drive, the two of you didn’t exchange another word. You just held the Ring Head Knife, staring blankly around you. Hu Jing’s driving skills were definitely several times better than yours. On this journey, she had evaded countless zombies, and the closer they got to Lingyin Temple, the more zombies appeared.

"We can’t go any further; the road ahead is blocked with vehicles and corpses." At this point, Hu Jing realized that the road was jammed with cars and corpses, making it impossible for them to pass.

You had been observing the surroundings and now pointed to a small mountain trail beside the road, "Let’s go up there."

Hu Jing frowned and said, "If there’s no road up there, it’ll be tough to turn around."

The pain in your foot hadn’t subsided, and although the bleeding had stopped, your entire right foot was numb.

Bearing the pain, you asked Hu Jing, "Mm, do you have any objections?"
