I’m Really Scared
Chapter 176: The More I Endure, the Angrier I Get

"Damn!"

In an instant, Guan Shan rushed over, grabbed Sun Han's clothes, and teleported everyone away.

Ever since "Drone Bee One" appeared, Guan Shan had sent his Shadow Clone to wait at the mountain's base, where a car filled with disinfectant and bandages was stationed.

Simultaneously, since items in the backpack could be shared with the Shadow Clone, Guan Shan had the Shadow Clone tear a page from [One Hundred Years of Solitude] inside the car.

This action changed the teleportation anchor point from the base to the car.

Before they could react, their vision blurred, and after a whirlwind of movement, they found themselves thrown onto the car seats.

At the same time, a massive explosion echoed behind them.

"Boom..."

The shockwave nearly flipped the off-road vehicle. The ground shook violently after multiple explosions, and the gigantic "Queen Bee" stirred, causing the mountain structure to collapse, with the entire side of the slope rapidly disintegrating.

Guan Shan landed in the front passenger seat, looking up to see dust and debris pouring down from above.

"Damn!"

Guan Shan was dumbfounded. The relief he had just felt vanished instantly.

"Drive! Go!"

He quickly controlled the Shadow Clone in the driver's seat to slam the gas pedal, instantly accelerating to top speed, racing down the mountain road! The cooldown for [Gravity Control] hadn't ended, so Guan Shan applied it all to the vehicle. The speed surged again, and after a few bumps, they managed to stabilize.

The car nearly flew, while the passengers were jostled violently, their faces pale.

Sun Han, who had initially recovered and wanted to question Guan Shan, was shaken into silence, grabbing the seat tightly as she saw the ground outside the window turn into the horizon.

"???"

Sun Han was stunned. Was this called driving?!

Lin Shuman and Bian Jie trembled in their corners until the car finally returned to normal speed after a violent jolt.

Guan Shan looked back, seeing they had escaped the mudslide. The mountain collapse was no longer an immediate threat, allowing him to relax.

The simulator's countdown also ended, and the ghostly filter over the world reverted to normal.

By now, half the mountain had collapsed, likely killing most of the villagers.

Unexpectedly, the scene destruction involved such an extensive collapse...

But it seemed "Drone Bee One" chose suicide partly because he was just a substitute and was confident.

More importantly, Sun Han's arrival left him no chance to kill Guan Shan, so he made a last-ditch effort to sow discord.

Sun Han's face turned pale, covering her mouth as she regained her composure, "What did you say... that monster is one of us?"

She pointed to the mountain, now devoid of the "Queen Bee's" presence, likely having returned to the swamp.

For now, it seemed safe...

Guan Shan, amused, looked at the still lively [Worker Bee Pendant] in his hand, "That's the 'Queen Bee' of 'Death Hive.'"

"?"

Sun Han widened her eyes, ready to go back and blow it up again.

Guan Shan quickly explained, "But this is just my hypothesis. The 'Queen Bee' didn't speak like the president, so it might have formed its own consciousness after using her consciousness."

"Overall, it's friendly and harbors hatred for 'Drone Bee One,' making it potentially useful."

He felt uneasy. If President Li's consciousness truly became the 'Queen Bee's,' he didn't want it destroyed.

But the Special Security Group's stance on panspirit creatures wasn't friendly, and he doubted they would keep it.

Sun Han calmed down, "This is beyond our jurisdiction. We need to notify the higher-ups and seal off a ten-kilometer radius."

Guan Shan sighed and nodded, "Sorry, I couldn't stop 'Drone Bee One,' and this was just a robot..."

Sun Han consoled him, "This level of panspirit creature transcends the importance of killing 'Drone Bee One.' If it can be utilized, that's a significant achievement. Besides, you've located 'Death Hive's' primary base."

"Even if 'Drone Bee One' is alive, the organization can't recover quickly."

Sun Han frowned, realizing that the Special Security Group's extensive efforts to dismantle "Death Hive" ultimately succeeded because of Guan Shan.

It was too coincidental...

She felt suspicious. Guan Shan's mission to find his president coinciding with "Drone Bee One's" escape seemed too perfect.

If premeditated...

Sun Han glanced at Guan Shan and the mysterious Shadow Clone, understanding the Special Security Group's cautious stance.

Guan Shan didn't notice her gaze. He was busy reviewing his gains.

"This time, I can't argue against losing items due to the bumpy ride..."

Guan Shan sighed. His control over the Shadow Clone wasn't perfect, so his six out of ten driving skills plummeted to one, making the ride rough.

Unexpectedly, failing to protect NPCs, crucial in this scene, lowered his score.

Guan Shan, frowning, grew increasingly agitated, "Those human traffickers were called NPCs? Aiding evil doesn't count as murder? President Li helped them, and she ended up like this. Who knows what happened to the kids left behind..."

The more he thought about it, the angrier he got. Suddenly, he asked, "What about the surviving villagers?"

Sun Han, familiar with this process, replied, "They're normal people, so we'll erase their memories and let the local courts handle them. It's not the Special Security Group's concern."

Guan Shan's heart sank, recalling Ba Dian and Ba Jiang's conversation. "Drone Bee One" likely covered the village's crimes for years.

His expertise meant even the Special Security Group might struggle to trace it, explaining how he hid "Death Hive" for so long.

Moreover, the Special Security Group wouldn't go to great lengths for a few ordinary people.

Thus, the villagers might get away with a light sentence, then resume their lives. Guan Shan, holding the recorder, took out the old photo President Li had shown him.

—Somehow, this photo ended up in his pocket.

President Li's fate remained unknown, possibly due to Baihe Village's villagers... He couldn't accept that.

The off-road vehicle reached the road, where helicopters awaited to assist. After assigning tasks, Sun Han turned to find Guan Shan gone.

Sun Han, surprised, heard Lin Shuman explain, "Guan Shan said he remembered something and would be back in three hours."
