Chapter 26
: Even if I kill you, the stuff will still be mine!
The entrance to an abandoned aircraft parts factory.
Lin Hui's RV emitted a deep roar, and the 25mm machine gun barrel on the roof slowly rotated, eventually locking onto the heavy ambulance not far away with a suffocating sense of oppression.
"Squeak—"
Almost the instant the cannon was aimed, a soft sound came from the chassis of the heavy ambulance.
Tang Chuan moved faster than a rabbit, abandoning the driver's seat and sliding out through the escape hatch in the chassis, tumbling awkwardly into the shadows of the nearby ruins.
That RV could crush even a Tier 3 White Thorn; his vehicle was just a soda can in front of it.
"Wang Bin! Open fire! Cover me!!"
Tang Chuan, hiding behind an iron pillar, shouted hoarsely at Vice President Wang Bin, who had not yet gotten out of the car.
However, the car was completely silent.
A few seconds later, the car window rolled down, and Wang Bin, a muscular man with dark skin, poked half his head out, raising his hands high. He not only turned off the vehicle but also threw the assault rifle he was holding directly out of the window.
"President Tang, I may not be the smartest, but I'm not an idiot."
Wang Bin stared at the dark, gaping muzzle of the machine gun, swallowed hard, and shouted in Lin Hui's direction:
"Boss Lin! I surrender! I want to live!!"
"You traitor!!" Tang Chuan was so angry that his face was trembling, and his mask of a refined scoundrel could no longer be maintained.
He watched the black RV slowly approaching, feeling the overwhelming aura of death, and the instinct for survival instantly overwhelmed his dignity.
Tang Chuan picked up the walkie-talkie and hurriedly said:
"It's a misunderstanding! Brother Lin! It's all a misunderstanding!!"
"I... I just... that extraordinary item malfunctioned! Really! You know extraordinary items have side effects..."
Lin Hui rested one hand on the windowsill, holding a half-empty can of cola in his other hand, watching the clown perform with amusement.
"Oh? Out of control?"
Seeing that Lin Hui was willing to talk to him, Tang Chuan thought he had a chance and quickly started promoting himself like a floodgate of beans:
"Right, right, right! Brother Lin, you see, although the process was tortuous, the result was good! That level 3 monster is dead, isn't it? We call this... an unconventional teamwork!"
"And I'm useful! Really useful! I've awakened the 'Spiritual Arts' specialization, and my spiritual art is 'Mud Swamp.' From now on, whether we're fighting monsters together or dealing with other players, I can be your support!"
While observing Lin Hui's expression, Tang Chuan gritted his teeth and pulled out a small box wrapped in black velvet from his pocket, holding it high:
"To express my apology, I'm willing to give you this extraordinary item! It's a rare artifact!"
"Brother Lin, having more friends means having more options. I used to be a surgeon at the First Municipal Hospital, and my medical skills are excellent..."
Lin Hui looked at the black box and raised an eyebrow slightly.
"An extraordinary item? Is this the thing that caused that Tier 3 White Thorn to suddenly attack my vehicle?"
"Yes, yes, yes! It's called the 'Eye of Framing'! As long as you let me go, this thing is yours, and from now on, I, Tang Chuan, will follow your lead!" A glimmer of hope flashed in Tang Chuan's eyes.
He believed that no one could resist such a temptation.
In this post-apocalyptic world, having an extra skilled player teammate and an extra life-saving item is incredibly valuable.
however.
Lin Hui simply shook the can of cola in his hand, tilted his head back, and finished the last sip.
"President Tang, I don't like you."
Tang Chuan's smile instantly froze: "Brother Lin! What do you mean? I've given you everything, are you just going to treat me like I'm nothing?"
"I think you didn't understand."
Lin Hui placed his hand back on the machine gun's fire button, a faint smile playing on his lips.
"What I mean is..."
"Even if I kill you, the things will still be mine."
"I'm a germaphobe, and I don't want to keep a piece of trash that might betray me at any time."
The moment the words left his mouth, Lin Hui pressed down hard with his fingertips without any hesitation!
"You're asking for it!!!"
The hope in Tang Chuan's eyes instantly turned into a vicious madness.
Under the threat of death, he unleashed unprecedented potential, plunging his hand into the ground and draining all his mental energy in that instant!
"Specialization - [Spiritual Arts: Swamp]!!"
Rumble!
Centered on Tangchuan, the concrete ground within a radius of fifty meters instantly collapsed and liquefied!
The once-solid ground had transformed into a deep, foul-smelling swamp churning with black bubbles. And this time, the swamp was several times deeper and more viscous than before!
"Hahaha! This RV is so heavy! You'd better get stuck in it!!"
Tang Chuan laughed maniacally.
The laws of physics told him that the heavier the object, the faster it sank in a swamp!
"As long as I trap you... I can escape..."
"And you will sink underground, you will drown!!"
however.
next second.
His maniacal laughter seemed to freeze on his face as if it had been frozen by liquid nitrogen.
The moment the black steel behemoth drove into the mud, it did not sink at all. Instead, it drove as steadily as if it were on a smooth highway!
The four large tires, gleaming with a dark luster, moved across the muddy surface as if it were flat ground.
[Entry Effective: Never Wears Out]
[Feature 2 Trigger: Constant Grip. Maintains 100% grip on any terrain, ignoring terrain!]
Even if the ground beneath your feet is quicksand, snow, or a mountain of knives and a sea of fire.
If I want to go, no road can stop me!
Nourishes—
The engine emitted a deep, powerful roar.
Instead of slowing down, the RV accelerated and broke through the mud, kicking up clouds of black mud, like a black warship cutting through the waves, and drove straight toward Tang Chuan!
"No...it's impossible..."
Tang Chuan's legs went weak, and he collapsed into the mud.
His worldview collapsed.
What kind of ghost car is this?
Why can't even the mud created by spiritual magic trap it?
Nothing is impossible.
Lin Hui's indifferent voice came through the loudspeaker.
"In your next life, remember to keep your eyes open."
boom!
Lin Hui did not give him another chance to speak.
He stuck the arquebus out of the car window without even aiming at it.
A gunshot rang out.
A bloody hole appeared between Tang Chuan's eyebrows. His face, filled with shock and fear, tilted back as he fell heavily into the quagmire he had created, slowly sinking to the bottom.
Su Qingqian, sitting in the passenger seat, stared wide-eyed. She had thought the RV beneath her would sink into the mud, but to her surprise, the RV ignored the terrain.
too strong!
How did they manage to do that?
Even with her expertise in machinery, she couldn't figure out the reason.
Su Qingqian looked at Lin Hui curiously, but never asked a question.
After all, I'm just an employee.
The boss didn't tell her, and she didn't dare to ask.
"A guild should always be organized and orderly..." Lin Hui's lips curled up, and then he continued to control the machine gun on the roof of the car, aiming at the car of Vice President Lin Bin.
Wang Bin, who was on the other side, was terrified when he saw this.
"Don't kill me! I'm a good person! I'm strong! I'll be your dog!!"
Lin Hui ignored him.
Wang Gou taught him a lesson: killing those who have a grudge against you directly can save you a lot of trouble.
Just as Lin Hui was about to press the launch button.
"roar----!!!"
A roar, deeper and more powerful than that of the previous female White Thorn, suddenly came from the direction of the wilderness.
Immediately afterwards, a huge white afterimage flashed by.
"Pfft!"
Wang Bin, who was near the wilderness, suddenly stiffened.
A massive blade, as thick as a spear, pierced through his vehicle, went straight through his chest, and lifted him into the air!
Fresh blood dripped down the bone spur.
As the dust settled, a male White Thorn, nearly four meters tall with metallic-looking bony armor, slowly emerged.
Its scarlet eyes didn't even glance at the corpse hanging on its tail; instead, they were fixed on the black RV and the mass of flesh belonging to a level 3 female White Thorn in the warehouse.
Lin Hui watched the enormous machine slowly straighten up, and his grip on the steering wheel tightened slightly.
That was a male white thorn.
and……
It is a more perfect 3rd-tier White Thorn. Judging from its aura and appearance, it is probably not far from the 4th tier.
