Destroying the apocalypse from infancy

Three hours later.

Phoenix Avenue, in front of a barbecue restaurant.

Ma Ping looked up at the dim night sky, his face filled with despair.

"I was so stupid, really, all I knew was Lao Yu..."

He sighed and murmured softly.

But before he could finish speaking, Zhou Hua came over and patted him on the shoulder, gloating:

"Alright, alright, Mrs. Marlin, stop nagging. The bill's already settled, there's no use regretting it now. This is what happens when you don't listen to the Prophet."

"Zhou Xianzhi! I was wrong! I was really wrong!"

Ma Ping hugged Zhou Hua tightly, subtly wiping his snot and tears all over his clothes.

After wailing and crying his heart out, he finally straightened up again.

Then, Ma Ping turned to look at Yu Xiu beside him and asked incredulously:

"But seriously, Lao Yu, how the hell did you manage to eat fifty plates of barbecue? Are you some kind of alien spy?"

"Yeah, Lao Yu, you're exaggerating a bit too much."

Liu Jianyang nodded in agreement.

He habitually adjusted his glasses and looked at Yu Xiu with a puzzled expression.

"And the most outrageous thing is that after you ate so much, your stomach didn't react at all, not even a little bit."

Is it possible that there's a hidden black hole inside my stomach?

Faced with the gazes of the two, Yu Xiu hesitated for a moment before speaking in a serious tone.

But as soon as he said that, Ma Ping and Liu Jianyang both rolled their eyes.

"Why don't you just say you can swallow the sun?"

Liu Jianyang said irritably.

"Huh? Maybe this really will work in the future."

Yu Xiu replied with a smile.

"You're kidding me! Get online now, you're paying for internet tonight!"

Ma Ping casually punched Yu Xiu, then hooked his arms around the shoulders of the others and walked towards the internet cafe.

Although they were shocked by Yu Xiu's sudden change, no one really took it too seriously.

Now that even internal energy masters are available, what's wrong with eating a little more?

Moreover, it's only fifty plates of barbecue; many competitive eaters can achieve that result.

Little did they know that Yu Xiu had only eaten half a meal.

He deliberately controlled his food intake so as not to scare the others...

Seeing that Ma Ping and the others did not believe him, Yu Xiu did not try to explain further.

He casually shrugged and quickly caught up with the group.

That's how it is these days. Nobody believes you when you tell the truth, but if you lie, you can fool a lot of hypocrites.

"Let's split the bill for dinner tonight. I can't let you pay for everything."

As Yu Xiu spoke, he took out his phone from his pocket, preparing to transfer money to Ma Ping.

But as soon as he opened the chat window between the two of them, Ma Ping reached out and pressed his hand down.

"Don't do that, it's fine. My money is useless to me. I'll just ask my dad for reimbursement later."

Ma Ping held on tightly, refusing to let Yu Xiu spend any money.

If it were Zhou Hua or Liu Jianyang, he probably would have accepted it long ago.

But Yu Xiu is different.

Among all the students in the dormitory, Yu Xiu came from the poorest family.

Although people don't have prejudices or discrimination because of differences in family background, they still try to reduce Yu Xiu's expenses, whether intentionally or unintentionally.

Seeing that he couldn't persuade him otherwise, Yu Xiu had no choice but to give up for the time being.

"I'll treat you to a meal in a couple of days, so none of you can compete with me for it."

"Fine, fine, I'm going to make up for all the losses I suffered today!"

Ma Ping said with a grin.

Immediately, everyone went into the internet cafe together.

By the time we came out, it was almost midnight.

There were far fewer pedestrians on the road; only a few high-powered oxen and horses could be seen, having just finished working overtime at the company.

"Internet cafes have to have the right atmosphere."

Ma Ping stretched and yawned loudly.

"really."

Yu Xiu and the others nodded in agreement and stood by the roadside waiting for a taxi to return to school.

Normally, you're not allowed to enter the dormitory at this time.

However, for graduating seniors, the dormitory supervisors often turn a blind eye.

During this boring wait, Zhou Hua unconsciously leaned against Yu Xiu and stood there dozing off.

But at that moment, a scream suddenly rang out not far behind them.

"ah!!!"

The screams spread rapidly through the dim night, instantly waking the group of people who were still somewhat drowsy.

Everyone turned their heads to look in the direction of the sound.

At the entrance of a secluded alley a few hundred meters away, a thin man with dyed yellow hair was tightly covering the mouth of a middle-aged woman.

Upon seeing this scene, Liu Jianyang's heart skipped a beat.

"Holy crap, can we be this unlucky? We've really run into human traffickers!"

He instinctively called out, his voice trembling slightly.

Just before setting off, he was worried about whether he would encounter any missing persons cases.

But the rest of the night was perfectly safe, which made him relax his guard and realize that his worries were unnecessary.

But who would have thought that such an accident would happen just as they were about to return to school?

But no sooner had he finished speaking than Ma Ping roared in his ear:

"This isn't a human trafficker at all! This is clearly robbery! Can't you see they're snatching bags?!"

His eyesight was much better than Liu Jianyang's, and he immediately saw the blond-haired man pulling hard on the middle-aged woman's shoulder bag with his right hand.

However, Ma Ping was no less shocked than Liu Jianyang at this moment.

He never imagined that in today's society, someone could still commit robbery in the street...

This is truly something I've never seen before.

"Whether it's human traffickers or robbery, what do we do now?" Zhou Hua interrupted the two of them.

"Is there even a question? Let's go help!"

Ma Ping casually replied, and the next moment he rushed out.

At the same time, he shouted loudly at the blond-haired man:

"Don't run!"

Upon hearing the sound, the blond-haired man immediately looked up.

Immediately, a ruthless glint flashed in his eyes.

"You bitch, go to hell!"

Suddenly, the blond-haired man kicked the woman hard.

After kicking the other person to the ground, he grabbed his bag, turned around, and ran away.

Ma Ping followed closely behind him, and the two of them quickly disappeared into the alley.

Seeing this, Liu Jianyang and Zhou Hua gritted their teeth and rushed forward as well.

In the blink of an eye, only Yu Xiu and the woman lying on the ground remained.

"Hey? Call the police first!"

Looking at the three impulsive individuals, Yu Xiu couldn't help but twitch the corners of his mouth.

Instead of chasing after them, he first took out his phone to call the police and an ambulance, and then went to check on the woman's condition.

After confirming that the other person was only unconscious, he got up to prepare to arrest them.

By this time, more than a minute had passed since Huang Mao fled, and he had obviously run quite a distance.

Anyone else would have had to wait in place, but that wasn't a problem for Yu Xiu.

His ears had already precisely caught the other person's footsteps.

After quickly determining the direction, Yu Xiu turned and disappeared into another alley.

This alley is not a shortcut; in fact, it takes a much longer route.

However, under Yu Xiu's all-out sprint...

Before long, he had overtaken Huang Mao and Ma Ping, blocking their path!

Yu Xiu looked up and saw that the blond-haired man was running desperately toward him.

But the other person's attention was entirely on Ma Ping behind him. He would run a few steps and then look back, completely unaware that there was a figure at the intersection ahead.

Seeing that the distance between Huang Mao and Ma Ping was getting further and further, Yu Xiu did not hesitate at all and picked up a small stone from the side.

He tossed the pebble in his hand, weighed it a couple of times, then narrowed his eyes slightly and forcefully threw it at the blond man's knee.

Whoosh!

The pebble tore through the air, producing a soft hum.

Under the cover of darkness, it struck his knee squarely, like a bullet fired from a gun.

"Ouch!"

A cry of pain suddenly rang out in the darkness.

Unimaginable pain instantly overwhelmed Huang Mao's mind.

He fell to the ground with a thud, and was dragged forward three or four meters by inertia...

Ma Ping was already exhausted and thought his act of bravery would end in failure.

Unexpectedly, the blond guy in front seemed to have tripped over something.

His face lit up with joy, and he quickly walked up to the blond-haired man, imitating the American police officers on TV, and pressed his knee hard against the man's neck.

Immediately afterwards, Ma Ping shouted behind him:

"Hey guys, come quick! I've got this kid!"

Upon hearing the sound, Yu Xiu smiled slightly and then prepared to go out.

however.

He had just lifted his foot when a notification appeared in front of his pupils without warning.

You've completed a rough hunt...
