Maybe Lao Yao's luck on this trip was really bad.
On the way back, they encountered robbers who blocked their way.
At that time, the vehicle was driving through the ruins of the past.
A group of strange-looking gerbils flew out from a building whose bottom was buried in the yellow sand. They spread their wide wings and flew through the abandoned viaducts, stirring up a cloud of sand.
Driver Lao Yao looked at the old buildings outside the car window that were so tall that the tops could not be seen, and could not help but think again in his heart that it was truly a glorious era.
What on earth caused the era of mankind, which once possessed such high technology, to come to an end
The world today is hopelessly difficult. With a shortage of supplies and backward technology, almost everyone is struggling to survive in this barren and dark world.
Just as he was thinking this, a flash of red light appeared in the window of an abandoned building not far ahead.
There are people there! There's an ambush!
Old Yao's heart skipped a beat and he braked to turn around.
But it was obviously too late, their vehicle was surrounded.
This was a notorious group of robbers, flying a flag with a skull and crossbones logo, and they were large in number.
Black gun muzzles and even rocket launchers were sticking out of the windows of the buildings in front and behind.
It was not an enemy that the armed forces on the bus could fight. And the only combatant on their bus was a wounded sentry.
It was too late to escape.
Lao Yao got off the car with a few passengers and negotiated with the leader of the gang.
He has been running this route for twenty years and basically knows all the mountain-ruling teams and every notorious leader in the vicinity.
This is not the most powerful armed force, but it is famous for its cruelty and perversion.
"All the weapons and money in the car should be given to Big Brother. We will never resist, we just want to survive." Lao Yao lowered his head, hunched his back, and kept his attitude to the lowest level.
"Weapons, money, and women." A skinny man in a coat sat high on a pile of rubble, holding a metal beer bottle in his hand and took a sip casually.
"Woman..." Lao Yao's expression changed. There were not many female passengers on the bus, most of them were older, with only one or two young ones.
One of them was a young and beautiful girl, and she was also a guide.
When he thought of the girl's pale little face, he felt sad.
If such a thin little girl fell into the hands of these people, she would not survive for a few days. He had seen these people's methods and knew how they would torture people.
He once had a younger sister, who was not very pretty and had dark skin, but was very smart and hardworking. She saved money with him to buy this car.
But once when we were traveling together, I was dragged away by this guy pulling my hair.
From then on, he kept running this route for twenty years without changing it, just wanting to see that dark face that looked so much like his own again.
Twenty years of coming and going had never given him any hope.
"I can give you all the money. I have an energy stone in my car, which I will give to you as a gift. Please be kind and let the person go, okay?"
Old Yao tried hard to put on a smile and pleaded humbly, hoping that these demons would occasionally show some kindness.
"There are only a few elderly aunts in my car. No, there is nothing to keep."
He thought the girl should know what happened and would make herself look ugly, hoping to get away with it.
"As long as you are a woman, no matter your age, you have to stay."
The man sitting on the high platform twirled the bottle of wine in his hand, his tone sinister, light and full of malicious meaning.
Behind him, several fully armed men laughed and said, "As for what we're going to do with it, you don't need to worry about it."
Old Yao lowered his head. He had actually known for a long time that the woman in the car would have no chance of escaping from this group of vicious bandits.
I am lucky to be alive. Those women will have a miserable fate, living in darkness like animals for the rest of their lives. Just like my sister. There will never be any news from them, and they will never see their families again.
But what can we do? There are always too many demons and too much malice in this world.
Most people live a miserable life and die a humble and pitiful death.
He was about to struggle to say a few more words when a half-empty beer bottle fell from the platform.
It was a metal can with an expensive brand printed on it. Golden liquid splashed out of the bottle and poured onto his graying hair.
The metal bottle hit Lao Yao on the head, bounced up and fell to the ground. He didn't even dare to dodge.
He watched, waiting for the bottle to hit the ground with a thud.
Then the demons would come down, take the money, and drag the women out of the cars into the dark ruins.
But the expected metallic sound did not come.
The bus driver, who was over fifty years old, saw a black glove through the alcohol dripping from his hair.
The glove caught the empty bottle steadily and gently placed the bottle on the ground as if afraid of waking someone.
His eyes blurred and he vaguely saw a black shadow passing by.
By the time he rubbed his eyes and wiped the wine off his head and face and looked again, the battle was already over.
The young man sitting in the back seat of the cab stepped onto the platform of the ruins and stuffed the gun in his hand into the mouth of the skinny bandit leader.
His coat was gone, and his tight black vest revealed the tight muscles of his back. His black gloves held the gun firmly, and the cold muzzle was stuffed into the enemy's mouth, forcing the fierce robber to slowly kneel down in front of him.
There were four or five burly men surrounding the leader.
All of them showed an expression of disbelief, and covered their necks with their hands. After a while, blood began to flow out from between their fingers.
The villains who have reaped countless lives can hardly believe that there will be a day when their throats will be cut.
Their faces were filled with horror and they slowly fell down covered in blood.
In just a moment, the ghostly enemy cut off five people's necks and took away five lives.
Ni Ji held a gun in one hand and put his other arm behind his back, his slender fingers firmly grasping a short blade.
The white blade of the dagger was stained with glaring blood, and drops of red blood dripped down.
With one move, he took five lives, but his fingers holding the gun remained calm.
Thick blood flowed out from the corpse and spread on the ground under his feet.
He stepped in a pool of blood, his expression as cold as a steep glacier on the sea.
This is a true sentinel, a Shura on the battlefield, who slits throats and kills without mercy, and is strong and indifferent.
He would shoot without hesitation the next moment, blowing someone's brain apart.
The leader of the robbers was trembling with fear, with a gun in his mouth, unable to speak. He could only put his hands together and repeatedly make gestures for mercy.
Although he didn't know why he kept quiet, the notorious robber leader nodded repeatedly to show his obedience.
He got a chance to live, and the cold pistol slowly left his mouth. He swallowed, feeling lucky that this was a soft-hearted and easy-to-talk enemy, and took out his intercom with sweat all over his forehead, and issued a series of retreat orders.
The guns hidden in various windows were taken back one by one.
The long-distance bus restarted and quickly left.
Only after they left the dangerous encirclement and saw no one chasing them did the passengers come to their senses.
They were surprised to find that the girl sitting in the front row, behind the driver's seat, was still sleeping soundly.
She had no idea what kind of life-and-death ordeal everyone in the car had experienced. She was sleeping soundly with her eyes closed in the swaying carriage.
Next to her, where the anonymous sentinel had originally sat, a miniature killer whale was holding up the sentinel's coat, supporting the girl's crooked head as she slept, and doing its best to maintain balance.
That is the spiritual body, the powerful fighting force of the Sentinel. To ordinary people, it is a rare and mysterious battlefield killing weapon.
But at this moment, it was just a leather pillow for a girl to sleep on in the car.
“Is that a killer whale?”
"Wow, the spirit form of the Sentinel. I've only seen it on TV."
"So cute, with a round head. It doesn't look mean at all, and looks very well behaved."
The passengers who had escaped danger all stretched their heads to look and talked quietly.
The sentry who saved the lives of a carload of people returned to the car.
His body was stained with blood and he had a murderous aura as if he was about to slit his throat. He stood coldly beside his seat and frowned at his own spirit body.
The killer whale ignored him completely and turned over in his gaze, with its soft belly facing upwards.
The sleeping girl moved her body, subconsciously hugged its long tail, and slept more soundly.
The little killer whale opened its mouth, revealing its sharp teeth and pink tongue, and whimpered very softly.
All the passengers in the car couldn't help but murmur in their hearts.
“Wow, that’s so cute.”
"So cute."
"Is this spirit really a killing weapon? It's just a mascot, right?"
"It's so arrogant, the sentinels can't command it at all."
Considering that the sentry standing there had not yet lost his aura of killing people, they had to hold back from saying these words.
After a long time, the cute spirit reluctantly gave up its place to the sentry, wagging its tail and swimming out of the car window.
After swimming out of the car, the killer whale in mid-air let out a cry and its body grew against the wind.
It started out as a small, cute pillow, but as it shook its head and tail it grew to be as big as a bus.
Then the huge fish with a black back and a white belly swelled up, its dorsal fin standing tall like a fierce blade, and its body like a giant ship in the sea, and it swam back in the direction they had just left with great momentum.
The car drove through the silent ruins. Behind them, where they had just encountered an ambush, a few chaotic gunshots were heard in the distance, but soon everything returned to calm.
After a while, the huge killer whale came back with murderous intent and walked beside the car window.
It opened its mouth, revealing blood dripping from between its teeth, scaring the passengers in the car so much that they trembled in fear.
Those cute pillows are all lies.
The overlord of the sea and the most ferocious beast on earth, his reputation is well-deserved.
The driver, Lao Yao, looked at the big fish shaking its head and tail beside the car window, and quietly wiped the corners of his wrinkled eyes.
Twenty years have passed. I haven't found my sister, but I have finally seen what happened to these people.
retribution!
With the company of the giant killer whale, the car drove smoothly along the way and finally did not encounter any dangerous situations.
The mutants wandering in the wilderness were driven away, and the robbers hiding in the ruins never appeared again.
It was not until the moon rose into the sky and the stars filled the sky that Lin Yuan woke up in the swaying carriage.
She yawned and felt that she had a very good sleep.
"We're lucky. We had a safe journey." She said to the sentry traveling with her.
Thinking back to the time when I came here from the White Pagoda, I encountered many twists and turns and many dangers along the way. This time, I was really lucky on the return trip, and nothing happened.
"Yes, you're lucky." The sentry beside her spoke gently, and when she looked out the window, he pinched her shoulder gently without making any movement.
Lin Yuan felt that the atmosphere in the car was a little strange. The mood of the passengers and even the driver towards her seemed to have changed.
How to describe... fear? shock? respect? sigh
Anyway, it was very complicated, and I didn't know why. She obviously did nothing but sleep after getting on the bus.
The tentacles, having rested enough, regained their spirits and cheered happily when they saw the killer whale swimming under the starry sky with the car.
It's a big fish
[The big fish is released]
Hi, Big Fish
[sweetheart]
[My candy, my granary]
[play together]
Under the moonlight, the strangely modified bus was running in the silent ruins.
The huge killer whale swam its tail fin and swam in the air, walking along the way.
Countless smooth pink tentacles happily wrapped around the killer whale, chirping and making a lot of noise.
A few faint whale calls echoed far away in the cold moonlight and starlight.
