Chapter 493: Chapter 169: Has your matchstick... Been to college?

The caravan stopped.

People got off the vehicles in an orderly manner. Even without the sound of gunfire, the road ahead was blocked. Several burning cars were strewn horizontally across the highway.

An accident or... a battle had taken place here.

Gunfire in the distance, flames flickering in front of them.

The pungent smell of burning stimulated their nostrils.

People’s expressions varied. Some were scared, some worried, and some showed excitement.

"What do you think it could be?"

"Anyway... it’s not normal."

"We might have been caught up in something big."

A few young people were whispering to each other on the side.

They believed they had encountered a significant secret and were fantasizing about the role they would play in the events to come.

The sight of the armed special task force members gave them the feeling of waiting for orders.

Not just the young people, but also an elderly man was excitedly shouting, "I’m a veteran. I’ve been to the battlefield, and I can still carry a gun. If you need me..."

"Take it easy, uncle. You’re in your seventies, aren’t you?" Someone on the side dissuaded him.

"Don’t underestimate veterans! I could’ve killed you weaklings with one hand when I was younger!" The old man had a temper and disdain for the guy who chimed in.

He had a delicate face, tall and thin, with a scarf around his neck.

What’s the difference between him and those effeminate guys on TV? Isn’t it easy to kill them with one hand?

Many classmates laughed because Li Changhe didn’t look like someone athletic.

Having been told he could be killed with one hand, Li Changhe could only touch his nose and hide his embarrassment.

The special task force didn’t care about the onlookers and discussed among themselves.

"We can’t take this route anymore. The 26th squad is fighting ahead. They were supposed to be responsible for the west side evacuation, but they’re now in front of us." The special task force captain looked at the distant flames, his eyes flickering, and asked, "Do you two have any ideas?"

He naturally asked the two Great Wall players in the caravan, besides Chen Yu, there was another male player.

"The enemy has space interference capabilities; otherwise, we would have reached the bridge by now," the male player replied. "However, several teams have already successfully evacuated, so it seems that the enemy’s interference ability is limited. As long as we don’t take the main road, we should be able to avoid it."

"Abandon the vehicles, then, and take the small roads. As long as we get close to the river, we can evacuate," the captain suggested. As soon as they left the north bank, a certain effect would disappear, and they would be safe even on the river.

"It’s not possible. There are too many people, and the target is too big. Even if we take small roads, we will be discovered."

"Then let’s disperse the teams and evacuate."

"Two players and twenty special task force members divided into two teams?"

"No, those who can hear the horn are their target. They probably won’t attack others. It’s even more dangerous to recklessly divide our forces." Chen Yu spoke, "I’ll lead those selected citizens, and you take the others and evacuate on another route. Anyway, I’ve heard the horn too, so I can’t escape."

"Chen Yu, this isn’t a board game. Your combat power isn’t strong," the other player frowned.

"No...I have more than enough combat power. She also heard the horn."

"Holder also heard the horn? I don’t know if it’s fortunate or unfortunate," the player sighed quietly, "You two must be very careful."

Chen Yu smiled slightly, her beautiful eyes swept over the crowd, and saw Li Changhe.

She didn’t mention that Li Changhe, the Hidden Pile, had also heard the horn. Her combat power might not be enough, but what about a Holder and a champion?

Soon, they were divided into two teams based on whether they had heard the horn or not, and they evacuated from different routes.

Perhaps because of the fierce gunfire nearby, the citizens were very cooperative.

About thirty people had heard the horn sound, including students, elderly people, and pregnant women.

At the moment, they were protected by ten fully armed vanguard members and a Great Wall player.

They were making their way through the alleys, heading for a dock by the river.

During the journey, Li Changhe didn’t do anything special. Instead, together with the girl, he helped along the old man who claimed he could kill others with one hand.

"Hahaha, grandpa, even if you were good at fighting when you were young, you would still have a bulging disc when you’re old."

"Hmph, I don’t want to listen to you!" The old man’s thank you turned into a tsundere proclamation.

While Li Changhe teased the old man verbally, he communicated with the girl through his consciousness.

"So those who heard the horn sound are the main targets of the attack?"

"Not attack targets." The girl replied, "For some reason, they are trying to block the people who heard the horn from leaving the north bank. But if anyone resists, they will not show mercy. The previous battle just in front of us happened just like that. Something tried to take the people away and clashed with our reconnaissance."

"Unable to dispatch high-level battle power?"

"The captain of the fourth team entered the north bank at the first moment, and immediately encountered a powerful opponent."

"So they won’t allow high-level battle power to intervene?" Li Changhe wondered why there were no prompts for the [Player] task.

Hasn’t it been triggered yet?

Under the cover of the night, the small team safely walked several kilometers.

During this time, Li Changhe put the [Boss Lead] in his pocket and put on his magnetic gloves, preparing for the enemy that might appear at any time.

They walked peacefully for more than half an hour, and they could see the river in the distance.

People relaxed a little and began to discuss the events that happened this evening.

"This is bound to be big news."

"We can also be considered as witnesses."

"Unfortunately, we still haven’t seen what the warriors are fighting. Is it the Insect race or the zombies?"

Hearing their discussion, the special task force members’ mouths curled up.

As soon as they escaped the danger, the people would face a complete set of hypnosis and suggestion.

At that moment, a special task force member walking ahead suddenly raised his arm to signal the team to stop.

People immediately fell silent and anxiously looked ahead. Many even hid themselves.

"Who’s there? Come out!" The special task force member raised his gun and shouted.

Just then, a little girl walked out of the shadows at some distance.

She wore a tattered dress, with fluffy hair like a dense ball of yarn, her bare feet already red from the freezing cold.

A pitiable little girl that softened the gazes of many.

The girl held out her palm, revealing a matchstick hidden in it, and sweetly asked, "Do you want to buy a matchstick?"

Actually, she was in the same business? As the Working Emperor, Li Changhe couldn’t help but ask a question.

"Have your matchsticks... been to college?"
