Unusual Fate Records

Chapter 349, Section 041: An Unexpected Incident (Part Two)

The smell of burnt plastic lingered in the room, and the furniture, which had just been cleaned with a dry powder fire extinguisher, revealed black burn marks.

The fire has been extinguished, and fortunately, no dangerous equipment was burned. Tianyu also cut off the power in time.

He turned on the exhaust fan, looked at the unconscious Yan Wuxun and Douzi with tears in her eyes, sighed inwardly, and dragged Old Yan to the underground passage.

Further down is the evacuation route they prepared a while ago, which connects to the sewer drainage system. It's currently the dry season, and there's no excessive rainfall for the time being.

……

Just over ten minutes ago, in the moments before the door was blown up.

Yan Wuxun turned around and saw Douzi following him, stopping at the corner between the entrance and the corridor.

The moment the explosion occurred, his first reaction was to bend down and tightly protect the beans with his arms.

Immediately afterwards, he was swept away by the shockwave. Stray bullets grazed his head, and he was hit by the blast wave. Before he could react, the shockwave from the flashbang completely blurred his consciousness.

The effect of "[Spending a Thousand Pieces of Gold]" is activated, burning the Alliance Coins that are like amulets on Yan Wuxun and Douzi, forming a force field that alleviates and dispels the effects.

When Jin Ziyue finally reacted and went to check on him, he found that Yan Wuxun had blood on his forehead and, while unconscious, had been tightly holding Douzi in his arms, curled up like a braised shrimp.

Douzi's eyes glistened with tears in Yan Wuxun's arms. Under the protection of the decadent youth, he only suffered minor scratches and was not in great danger.

If not...

If it weren't for the decree...

It's likely that both of them are already dead.

A surge of anger, like molten lava, erupted from the depths of Jin Ziyue's heart, repeatedly battering the reefs of reason. His face beneath the mask was coldly expressionless, except for the two arched eyebrows visible through the mask's seams, which faintly glowed with a scarlet light.

Jin Ziyue changed his mind.

“I’ll handle the people outside; I’ll leave Lao Yan to Tianyu.”

Immediately, he looked at Fu Xun and said coldly, "Xun, cover me, don't let any of them escape."

The raging flames stretched the shadows of the people inside the room into long, slanted shapes. Jin Ziyue stood up, his black shadow swaying gracefully in the firelight, like a resurrected demon, spreading its membranous wings, returning from hell on the flames of karma.

Fu Xun knew that Jin Ziyue rarely had emotional fluctuations. Only when the people around him were hurt would anger pry open a corner of his numb heart, and the monster in his heart would roar and break free of its shackles, to beat, to throw, to stomp, to be violent, until it repaid a hundredfold.

"Okay," he replied.

……

This was also the first time Tianyu had seen Jin Ziyue in a fit of rage.

Looking back, Brother Jin, like the raging elder brother, was usually a gentle person, but once his sore spot was touched, even the gentlest water would boil.

He glanced back at the unconscious Yan Wuxun, whose messy hair was covered in debris from the explosion, and whose stubble was sparse. He was clearly an ordinary person, yet he was trying to act tough among this group of monsters and demons.

Douzi carefully peeled off the adhesive tape and put it on Yan Wuxun.

"Brother Xun did it to protect me..." Douzi felt a little guilty.

Tianyu patted his head, and he, not being good with words, lowered his eyes and said, "It's not your fault."

"Tianyu, take Lao Yan and get him out of here," Fu Xun shouted from above. "Lao Jin is in trouble; I'm going to help."

As he spoke, he picked up the modified sniper rifle and climbed up the high-rise building through the side escape staircase.

As soon as Fu Xun finished speaking, a loud explosion suddenly rang out outside, and the terrifying heavy weaponry made the entire building tremble.

Tianyu protected the beans, and frowned slightly as he listened to the sound.

This kind of power is found in anti-tank shells.

The other side is clearly well-equipped.

However, the fact that such a weapon is needed to deal with Brother Jin suggests that he is not a particularly formidable opponent.

At the very least, if someone is arrogant or furious, they would definitely have more faith in the sword in their hand.

Tianyu thought to himself for no reason.

However, individuals of that level are rare. More often, they are like humans, using existing tools to arm themselves.

He understood very well that although technological weapons were constantly improving, they still had a clear disadvantage compared to flexible and adaptable combat units.

The fact that human bounty hunters and mercenary groups dare not confront the White Walkers head-on is proof of this.

Individuals like Jin Ziyue are extremely rare on a global scale.

"I am..."

Yan Wuxun slightly opened his eyes, his pupils were cloudy, his consciousness was brought back by the vibration, and he was still somewhat dazed.

"Brother Xun!" Douzi hugged his hand and rubbed it against his face, ignoring the dust.

"Hiss~ It hurts."

Yan Wuxun grinned, then smiled at Douzi: "It's nothing, no problem."

Tianyu helped him sit up and said, "Brother Yan, Brother Jin has held them off, let us move first."

"Okay, let him have his chance to shine."

Yan Wuxun, supporting himself with Tianyu, stood up and grinned, "It'll be my turn next time."

"Mmm!" Douzi nodded vigorously.

Tianyu didn't say anything, but helped him walk towards the underpass.

"Hiss...be gentle..."

……

"Tick."

In the dimly lit sewer, water droplets occasionally splashed down, the sound amplified in the quiet space.

At this point, fifteen minutes had passed since Jin Ziyue defeated Leovic.

"Ah-"

Fu Xun lit the lighter, put the cigarette in his mouth, and leaned closer to ignite it with a spark.

"Smoking in the sewers?"

Jin Ziyue walked down the steps behind him.

Fu Xun casually stuck the cigarette butt into the wall, twisted it, and the sparks quickly went out.

他 说:

"I was just trying out what it felt like to die."

Jin Ziyue glanced at him before asking:

"How does it feel?"

Fu Xun retorted, "Same as you."

Jin Ziyue understood his unspoken meaning and stopped talking.

What he knew, Fu Xun also knew.

That anti-tank gun could have pierced through the carbon gas in the body. If it weren't for Fu Xun's ice melting into water and the special heat insulation layer on his body, the carbon particles would definitely have exploded in the flames.

At the time, Jin Ziyue was only focused on killing all the mercenaries. It can only be said that this time, the peace was like Fu Xun lighting a fire in the sewer—it didn't ignite the marsh gas, which can be called "fortunate".

【Eagle body carbon gas】is not immortal.

Fire is its greatest weakness.

If Jin Ziyue were carbonized into powder and ignited, his original form would be blown out.

Because Jin Ziyue is used to using "Eagle Body Carbon Gas", Fu Xun is used to using "Iron Horse Ice River".

"trust you."

Jin Ziyue didn't say much, but walked forward.

Fu Xun lowered his gaze, opened his mouth, but remained silent, following the man's trail in silence.

"Where are Lao Yan and the others?"

"It has been moved to a temporary warehouse."

"Ah."

Fu Xun followed and asked, "Who are these people? Do you have any leads?"

"Yes, we'll talk about it when we get back."

"Row."

Fu Xun understood his brother-in-law's tone.

"First, treat Lao Yan's injuries. Then, find a new base, as the situation may be even more unsafe in the future."

As Jin Ziyue walked, he rapidly calculated feasible solutions in his mind.

Suddenly, he seemed to remember something, turned around and asked:
"Where are Ruolan and the others?"

"I don't know, they should have arrived at the temporary warehouse a long time ago." Fu Xun hadn't noticed.

He and Tianyu busied themselves, covering Lao Yan and Douzi's escape, packing up the necessary weapon boxes, and urgently dealing with any traces of activity in the room. Considering that fingerprints and other evidence were difficult to remove, they simply burned the guesthouse down.

Jin Ziyue frowned slightly, lost in thought.

"Buzz-buzz-buzz-"

At that moment, Fu Xun's phone vibrated.

Jin Ziyue's cell phone is never on his person because it is destroyed in battles such as carbonization, so he relies on Fu Xun for long-term communication.

“An unfamiliar number,” Fu Xun reported.

Jin Ziyue and Fu Xun exchanged a glance and nodded.

"catch."

Fu Xun pressed the button: "Who is it?"

"It's me. Qi Tongshan."

Qi Tongshan's voice came from the other end of the phone.

Fu Xun breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Where did you go? To the temporary warehouse? Why haven't we heard from you?"

There was silence on the other end of the line.

Jin Ziyue keenly sensed that something was amiss.

"Hey, talk."

Fu Xun urged.

Over the phone, Qi Tongshan said, word by word:
"Chen Ruolan is in our hands now."

thump—

Fu Xun and Jin Ziyue were shocked.
