Destroying the apocalypse from infancy
Chapter 12 Taking the Initiative
One o'clock in the morning.
The four people from dormitory 502 walked out of the police station together.
Feeling the cool night breeze blowing in their faces, the group's faces were filled with undisguised excitement.
"I never expected the reward for an act of bravery to be so high, a full eight thousand dollars!"
Zhou Hua couldn't help but sigh.
"You don't understand, do you? We caught a robber tonight, so the reward will be higher."
Liu Jianyang adjusted his glasses and explained to the group:
"From a legal perspective, Huang Mao's behavior is called robbery by conversion. Even if his initial motive was just theft, he will still be convicted of robbery in the end."
As the only one in the dormitory who was preparing for the postgraduate entrance examination, Liu Jianyang was a true academic star.
He has knowledge in many fields.
When he first entered university, his classmates gave him the nickname "Encyclopedia".
But after AI was introduced, he became less useful.
"The reward is a lot, but we guys still need to be more careful in the future. Acting heroically is no joke; what if the other side had a knife?"
Yu Xiu suddenly spoke up.
Upon hearing his words, the people around him immediately stopped smiling.
"Old Yu is right, we really shouldn't be so impulsive."
Ma Ping nodded, pondered for a moment, and then spoke:
"I was the one who started this tonight, so I need to reflect on it deeply. I don't want the bonus; you three can split it equally."
Upon hearing this, all three of them froze in place.
"Old Ma, isn't this unnecessary?" Yu Xiu advised.
Zhou Hua and Liu Jianyang quickly nodded as well.
The three of them immediately tried to persuade Ma Ping to give up the idea.
However, Ma Ping absolutely refused.
Actually, he had already made up his mind; he just mentioned it casually earlier.
After all, a few thousand dollars was nothing to him, but it was a different story for Yu Xiu and the others.
Yu Xiu and the others could guess some of Ma Ping's thoughts. He had done similar things many times in the past three years, but this was the first time he had ever done something involving an amount of eight thousand silver dollars.
So the two sides started arguing on the roadside, neither willing to give in.
Finally, when a taxi arrived, they were able to agree on a distribution plan.
Zhou Hua, Yu Xiu, and Liu Jianyang each took two thousand yuan, and the rest was temporarily placed in the hands of Ma Ping, the dormitory head, as daily activity funds for dormitory 502.
Yu Xiu naturally had no objection to this, and he felt no resentment whatsoever.
To be honest, Huang Mao's arrest was entirely his doing, and he could keep all the bonuses without any problem.
But Yu Xiu couldn't do that.
Over the past few years, Ma Ping and his friends have spent more than this amount on treating others to meals and gatherings.
"Two thousand silver dollars should be enough for me to get by for a while."
Yu Xiu thought to himself.
He has already spent all his living expenses for this month and is currently using the money he earned from his summer job.
However, given his current appetite, the money will run out in a few days as well, so this bonus has temporarily solved his immediate problem.
"Looks like I need to find a part-time job as soon as possible."
Yu Xiu murmured almost imperceptibly.
He had recently looked at part-time job postings online, but hadn't found one that satisfied him.
Most part-time jobs involve tutoring at night, but Yu Xiu wanted to find a daytime job.
Ideally, one could earn money while enjoying the sun.
With that thought in mind, Yu Xiu got into the taxi.
But as he was closing the car door, he suddenly paused and turned to look at the intersection in the distance.
Seeing his actions, Zhou Hua couldn't help but ask in confusion:
"Old Yu, what are you looking at?"
"It's nothing."
Yu Xiu shook his head and looked away.
But although he said this on the surface, he still had a slight doubt in his heart.
Just now, he vaguely sensed a strange feeling of being watched, as if someone was secretly watching him.
"Is it just my imagination? Or... is this the effect of a gifted hunter's instinct?"
Yu Xiu narrowed his eyes slightly.
If it's the former, that's easier to say.
But if it's the latter, it means that tonight's events are not completely resolved, and the arrested blond-haired man may still be hiding other accomplices.
This is getting interesting.
Yu Xiu had been pondering what the criteria for determining a hunt were.
He had tried killing mosquitoes before, but was unable to trigger the hunt.
Now, he has only caught a robber, without even killing him, yet he has suddenly completed a hunt.
There are clearly some special rules involved.
If Yu Xiu can master the rules, he can complete the advancement requirements of his talent more quickly.
If someone is indeed secretly spying on him now, it would be a good opportunity for him to conduct some experiments...
In the dim light of the night, the taxi sped along.
In less than fifteen minutes, the group returned to the gate of the university.
Phoenix Avenue is not far from the University of Science and Technology; both are located in the central area of Qingyun District.
After getting off the bus, Ma Ping stretched and said lazily:
"Finally back."
"I can't go on, I need to sleep right away."
Zhou Hua put his arm around Liu Jianyang's shoulder and said weakly.
After the initial excitement wore off, a deep sense of fatigue was about to overwhelm them completely.
The group walked slowly toward the school gate.
But at this moment, Yu Xiu suddenly spoke:
"You guys go back to the dorm first, I need to go to the 24-hour convenience store next door to buy something."
"No, Lao Yu."
Upon hearing this, Ma Ping immediately said:
"What do you have to buy today? Aren't you sleepy?"
"They're just some everyday items. They're all at the school gate anyway, so it's just a convenient thing to do."
Yu Xiu replied with a smile.
He then waved to the group and turned to leave alone.
However, he had just turned around.
The smile on Yu Xiu's lips vanished completely.
He is now absolutely certain that the feeling of being watched he had previously experienced was not his imagination.
This is the special perception ability he gained after unlocking his hunter's instinct talent.
The feeling of being spied on never disappeared while they were in the car; the other person followed them all the way to the school.
"Are they planning to write down our address so they can easily come and stake out our place for revenge later?"
Yu Xiu muttered to himself, turning his head slightly to look at a dark corner not far away.
The feeling of being spied on him came from this place.
This range has already entered the area that Yu Xiu's hearing can cover.
pat, pat...
Yu Xiu heard footsteps, which were getting farther and farther away.
Clearly, after confirming the address, the other party was preparing to return temporarily.
Without hesitation, Yu Xiu followed silently.
After crossing an intersection, he saw a bald, middle-aged man from a distance.
The other person is currently on the roadside scanning a shared bike with their phone.
Yu Xiu guessed that when he came over, he must have hailed a taxi, otherwise he wouldn't have been able to keep up with them at all.
After unlocking the shared bike, the middle-aged man immediately rode it away into the distance.
Once he was completely out of sight, Yu Xiu calmly walked over and scanned a car as well.
He wasn't worried about losing them at all, because he kept track of the other car's tire sounds.
And so, the two of them, one in front of the other, soon arrived at an old urban village nearby.
After making several turns inside, the middle-aged man finally stopped.
Yu Xiu heard the other person push open the door and walk into an old-fashioned bungalow.
Then, seven or eight chaotic footsteps echoed in the room.
