Vol 8. Final Destination (2)
Chapter 1
The two newbies were confirmed to be dead. From what the thugs gathered, an
Asian woman was hit by a car around the corner of a street a few hours ago. It
was discovered that she had no form of identification and the police couldn’t find
her photo in any database. It could be induced that she was an illegal immigrant.
Through words of witness, an Asian man was with her at the time.
A few hours later, this Asian man was found beheaded. The cause of death seemed
absurd. Behind his body hung a barely visible fishing line. It was said that the fishing
equipment of a second floor tenant somehow fell off and coincidentally the fishing
line hung across both sides of the street. The Asian man was riding through this
street with a seized motorcycle. His head and the phone he was talking on got cut
off. The police and medical examiners both felt that his death was too much of a
coincidence.
“This isn’t a coincidence. In the Final Destination series, some people had a strong
premonition of death so they were able to escape. However, they merely escaped
from dying at that instant and not from Death’s list. There is no such monster as
Death. It’s a rule. Even if you can escape temporarily, what follows will be traps that
are seemingly coincidences. This rule will take your life before you can realize it!”
Zheng muttered to himself. He finally knew the order of death in this movie after
hearing the outcomes. That there was no order!
“The order in Final Destination 2 was the reverse of the premonition. However, since
our entrance, or perhaps due to God’s intervention, our order of death becomes unordered.
I was attacked right before the two newbies’ deaths. I think both the mother
1
and child are still alive currently. Yet, the attacks on us should come in between their
deaths originally.”
Lilin then said. “I’ve seen all three movies in the series. Isn’t there a safe place in the
second movie? That psychiatric hospital. If we can stay inside that hospital, then we
shouldn’t die to any accident. What can Death do? Earthquakes? Fires? Get lots of
people involved?”
Zheng nodded. “The psychiatric hospital can become one of our shelter but this is
not absolute. Everything can happen, especially to us players. I haven’t mentioned
God to you right? It’s a giant sphere of light. It controls our entrance to these movies.
We’ve also been through a few similar situations and that is God won’t leave any
loopholes. It will perhaps leave some items to counter the monsters in the movies
but those items require you to solve puzzles. In contrast, if you try to survive without
putting any efforts through loopholes, then it will increase the difficulty.”
“I can imagine you getting killed on the way to the hospital. Want to take this risk?”
Everyone’s expression changed and looked worried. WangXia immediately said.
“We will discuss about hiding later. What did you mean that you were fighting against
several people as strong as you?”
Zheng sighed. He looked at WangXia then at the others. “I and five other people
survived one or more movies in this God’s world. We formed a team, supplementing
each other’s abilities. You can’t imagine how cruel this world is. A single person’s
power is so small. Only when you combine the powers of multiple people can you
survive.”
“Like me, my close combat ability is the strongest as the leader. I’ve unlocked up
to the second stage of the genetic constraint, enhanced with intermediate Qi and
Vampire Count bloodline, and have the abilities Red Flame and movement technique.
Our team has people who are specialized in assassination, in long range attacks with
bow, a person with psyche scan, a strategist, and lastly someone that I don’t know
his abilities. This accident is caused by that last person. He took control over the
other four and said that he will tell me the reasons after I beat him. That’s why I was
the only one you saw when you woke up.”
WangXia’s face turned pale. “That means we are fighting with the original members
of your team?”
Zheng nodded. “Yes. That’s why I don’t allow you to use mines or traps. I will fight by
your side to capture them. Of course, it’s ok if you can’t avoid breaking a few arms
2
and legs. We can repair them after returning. Don’t worry about injuring them. Just
don’t kill them.”
The lawyer, Xue asked with interest. “So you are the leader? What decides who
becomes the leader? Election or is it the strongest person? I am interested if humans
still choose leaders similar to our civilization or through the law of the jungle.”
Zheng laughed. “You will become a comrade who can depend on each other as long
as you obtained acknowledgement from everyone in the team. I was elected.” He
suddenly came up with a thought and stopped talking.
When did Zheng become a leader? It seemed like he naturally took over the role after
Alien. The reasons were Jie didn’t disagree, Lan felt grateful with a bit of love toward
him, Xuan didn’t care about the leader of this team, and Zero wouldn’t disagree due
to his personality. So he became the leader. Yet, was it really so easy to become
one? What did Jie mean by his words that he will become the leader of team China
after defeating him? In other words, he was still not a leader.
Zheng felt a headache. Things were still misty at the current state. The information
was not enough to deduce the cause of Jie’s sudden change. But Judging from his
words, it seemed to revolve around “the leader”.
Zheng finally gave up guessing. Everything would become clear the next time he
meets with Jie. He only hoped his comrades wouldn’t take too much injuries.
“Why don’t you go find a room to take a rest? You’ve been tired for a whole day.
Hoho. The time is still early. We will go out for some food at noon and I will also tell
you what to do.” Zheng remembered that these were just normal people when he
saw the yawning.
They didn’t disagree and accepted delightfully. Then they began to leave the suit.
Zheng suddenly said with a laugh. “Right, don’t find a room too close to the front.
This is a love hotel so the noise will keep you awake.”
The men laughed understandably, while the women blushed. The two men then
found a room close to Zheng’s suite and locked the door as soon as they entered.
Zheng walked back into his suite after sending everyone away. He took a pen from
the nightstand and tore off a piece of paper. Then wrote down the five names of the
people in his team and listed the abilities he knew of.
After that, he circled Jie’s name then connected him to the other four with a line.
Under Jie was the word hypnosis. He hesitated for a moment before writing down
3
psyche attack. It was the only thing he could think of from the death of team India’s
psyche force user. If that was true, then why didn’t Jie kill him the same way?
“Jie, I really really want to know what is the truth you want to tell me. The truth that
pushed you to the current state. Are you looking to die?”
Time passed neither fast nor slow. The two women stayed in a room whereas the
four men each got their own. That skinny teen intentionally found one near the front
and could hear groans as soon as he entered.
A gust of wind closed the window without anyone noticing. However, this wind didn’t
stop in the supposedly sealed room.
Xiaohao was an otaku, meaning his daily lives involved watching T.V. and going online
at home. He wouldn’t leave his house unless it was absolutely necessary. Due to this
reason, he never had a girlfriend. Furthermore, being a NEET reduced his chance of
obtaining one even further.
Although he was extremely tired after a day of running around, but sex was more
enticing compared to the fatigue. He turned on the tub spout then leaned against
the wall to hear the moans from across the wall as his saliva dripped. Just leaning
there for over five minutes until he fell asleep due to the fatigue.
He was asleep but bathtub was still filling. The water overflowed to his room after ten
minutes. Unfortunately, the drain seemed clogged so the water could only flow from
the bathroom to his room, passing by the furnitures, table, bed, and a floor standing
A.C. unit.
Sizzz. The air conditioner short circuited and began to smoke. The water then slowly
flowed toward Xiaohao with electricity.
Suddenly, a loud bang from the next door woke him up. The sex was over long ago
but the man and woman seemed to be in an argument over the payment. Their voice
soon escalated. Xiaohao could hear them without putting his ears against the wall.
He suddenly lost all interest then planned to take his bath. However, he was shocked
as he turned around and saw the room filled with smoke. A pool of water was flowing
toward him. Because the floor was covered with carpet, this water caused some
sparks on the carpet. Xiaohao was dumbfounded.
He had many more chances to watch horror movies because he was an otaku. Naturally,
he had seen all three Final Destination movies. He realized Death had targeted
him. This water was certain to be conducting electricity. His only choice was to run.

Xiaohao immediately ran to the door and pulled the handle. Yet, that stupid lock got
stuck at this crucial moment. The lock wouldn’t budge no matter how hard he turned
it. Furthermore, the argument from next door was getting so loud that his screamed
couldn’t reach the other side of the hall, where Zheng and the other’s was residing.
He was the only one who chose a room far from them.
Nervousness was over taking him. He banged at the door with all his strength to no
avail. That water was moving closer and closer. He had no choice but to run over
to the window. To his surprise, the window was also locked and couldn’t be opened
like the door was.
“Fuck!”
He got angry then picked up a chair and smashed the window. He was finally able to
break the glass with a few smashes. He jumped onto the window before the water
reached him.
Outside the window was a street with a few cars driving on the road, mostly trucks.
He swallowed hard with nervousness. This was the second floor. Several meters
high was not enough to kill someone but that water couldn’t reach the height of the
window either. So he hesitated. It took just a moment of his hesitation before the air
conditioner smoked worse than before. The smoke became darker and thicker and
sparks were appearing like it was going to explode.
Xiaohao clenched his teeth and finally decided to jump. But the air conditioner exploded
just as he made up his mind. The blast of air pushed him out of the window
onto the street. But he didn’t die to this little height after all. He let out a sigh of relief
at last.
“This damn…”
A truck ran straight into him before he finished his sentence. Pah! He disappeared
under the truck tires.
“This is too terrible. He was pressed into a meat paste. We won’t be able to identify
him like this. But how did he jump over him from ten meters far?”
A Caucasian cop said to his coworker.
The other cop was curious too. “From what the hotel owner said, he seemed like
an illegal immigrant. He was staying in the room where the air conditioner exploded.
But how did he jump so far from second floor? Not even an Olympics gold medalist
can do this. Unless he had enough distance to accelerate.”
5
The Caucasian cop stood up. “Anything else? Did he call any woman?”
“No. The hotel owner said he only provides the rooms. Though the man and woman
on the next room gave some clues. They said they heard the shattering of glass
when they were arguing. But they didn’t pay much attention to it. After they were
done, they heard an explosion, probably the one from the air conditioner.”
The Caucasian cop sighed. “I received information that an out of city mafias was
searching for arms dealers. The mafias seemed to have some relationship with
Asians. Hope this guy isn’t one of them. Though it’s create if the mafias covered
up a death from gun fights like this. Tell everyone to stay cautious for the time being.
Gather all possible clues. Tell the informants to provide us with information of the
mafias. I want to talk with them!”
At the same time. Zheng’s group was eating lunch in a French restaurant not far off.
They were forced to leave the hotel although it was only eleven in the morning.
In fact, no one had a good night of sleep. They left the hotel as soon as Xiaohao’s
death and found an open space outside to rest. Everyone felt disgusted after seeing
Xiaohao’s remains. Furthermore, the feeling of death was becoming more and more
clear. It was like a heavy weight on their hearts. Anyone who could still sleep under
this condition was to be admired.
The group solved their hungers first. Fortunately, Zheng had obtained a few grands
of cash from the bar owner. So they didn’t have to worry about money. They decided
on this restaurant for two reasons. One, they weren’t interested in fast food. Two,
they could observe the cops across the street from the restaurant.
“He just died like this. How did Death do it?” Laoshi muttered with a terrified expression.
Although they were still waiting for the food to be served, no one was in the mood
to start a conversation until Laoshi spoke.
Zheng sighed. “Probably coincidences, a series of coincidences. This is only the second
damn day and we are already down by three people. The attack on me would’ve
killed any normal person also. Can Death distinguish us from normal people? Why
is it clinging to us so hard?”
WangXia muttered. “I took a look at his room before we left. No signs of tempering
by a human. The floor had a lot of water but nothing was wrong with the bathroom.
I couldn’t see any clogging on the drains. Where did that water come from?”
6
Lilin shook her head and said. “That’s the scary part about this series. A little detail
can leader to death. And you can’t even figure out how he died afterward. I don’t
want to become a meat paste like him. I’d rather just kill myself instead of becoming
that!”
Zheng said. “Maybe you don’t even have the right to your own life. Death wouldn’t
let you kill yourself. If the plot wasn’t changed, we just had to kill someone who was
supposed to die. I wouldn’t believe Death can stop me from killing! But now that the
plot changed from ordered to unordered deaths. I don’t know which of us is going
to be next.”
Just then, they saw over a dozen motorbikes came over. These were the gang leaders
Zheng saw last night. They walked into the bar ignoring the police. The police
seemed interested in them and went up to them. Zheng also stood up then walked
toward the exit.
“I am going to see them. They should have brought what I want. I hope they don’t
disappoint me. Those damn American cops. Hope they don’t target us.”
Chapter 2
Zheng brought the thugs back to the restaurant without any issues. However, he
also caught the cops’ attentions. Fortunately, he received his fake green card in the
morning. This card was made to the standard as government requirement thanks
to the gold. Hotly that but the maker also took an extra step to hack into the local
immigration office’s network and entered Zheng’s information. Of course, they didn’t
know Zheng’s real name. His name right now was Stephen Chow.
The cops checked Zheng’s green card and searched the network. There was indeed
someone named Stephen Chow to their disappointment with the exact same look.
The photo looked like it was taken within these two days. They could only watch as
Zheng led the thugs away.
“Damn Stephen Chow, why don’t they call me God of Cookery instead?” Zheng didn’t
know whether to laugh or cry.
The thugs showed quite the respect toward him. Zheng also also didn’t care about
gold and money. They were invited to a VIP room after spending a lot of cash.
Zheng immediately asked after he sat down. “Did you gather the men? Did you
spread my words out?”
7
A middle age Caucasian said. “Yes, boss. We have spread your words and received
some information. Someone did see an Asian boy who likes to play with his hair. A
big breasts woman with glasses and a man carrying a big bag accompanied him.”
Zheng was pleasantly surprised. “Where were they seen?” He took out the guidebook
and flipped to the city map.
The thug pointed to a television building in the center. “Around here at about 2am.
They entered the building. The guards acted like they were invisible. No one should
be able to enter the building at that hour. That was why someone noticed them. Take
a look at this.”
Zheng counted the time. It was shortly after he got attacked. So they went back right
after attacking him. The thugs weren’t lying. They should be inside that building!
He took out ten gold bars as he was thinking. The golden radiance instantly grabbed
the thugs’ attentions. Zheng said. “Good job! Take these gold. Split them yourselves.
I don’t have to teach you right? Use the leftover money to get people to stay around
the building and monitor it. Notify me as soon as those people appear. This isn’t
enough.”
Zheng took out a handful of sand then some bones. These were also exchanged from
God. He held onto the Book of the Dead and began to chant in ancient Egyptian.
The sand and bones merged as his blood energy depleted. Four mummies appeared
when the formation completed. These skinny bodies contained more power than
normal people. The magic from the Book of the Dead were the biggest rewards
from the last movie.
The thugs screamed as they backed off. Several kneeled down and screamed Satan.
Though to his surprise, no one called for Jesus. This was different from how he
thought of westerners.
Zheng banged the table and said. “Don’t panic! This is my power. They won’t hurt
you! Listen up. Put them in robes, I know you can buy some. Then split into four
groups and monitor the building in all directions. Notify me using this device as
soon as you see them. Understand? These mummies will protect you when you
get attacked. Use that time to contact me!”
These thugs were rebellious against society to begin with. They believed in Satan
more than Jesus. The thugs became excited after the initial shock. Several of them
were looking all over the mummies and even tried to touch them. The other people
8
stared at Zheng with admiration. No, it was closer to worshiping a cult. If Zheng told
them to be a suicide bomber, the fanaticism might make them do it.
Zheng shook his head and said to the one that spoke Chinese. “Did you complete
the task I gave you? Did you find an arms dealer?”
He immediately nodded. “Yes. Old Crab of the west district has supplies. But he
heard about you and requested payment in gold instead of cash.”
Zheng nodded. “Fine if he wants gold. That’s what I planned originally. Go wait
outside. We will finish the discussion then go with you to the west district.”
Zheng then turned to the players. He held out the Book of the Dead and said. “Don’t
tell me you’ve never seen this book. It should be quite famous. People who watched
the movie should know.”
Lilin hesitated a bit then said. “This book should be that famous book in The Mummy.
The Book of the Dead? It is said to contain magic from ancient Egypt and can even
revive the dead. Its counterpart is the Book of Amun-Ra. You can bring things out of
the movies?”
Zheng gave laughed. “This is a little complex to explain. I will leave it till we get
back. WangXia, Laoshi, and Xue, come with me to the west district. You will pick
your weapons there. We will likely have to face against my other team members.
Make your decision. I can only promise that people who fight with me and go back
to God’s dimension alive can become a member of the team. If you don’t want to
fight, then please leave. I don’t have the energy to protect unnecessary people!”
WangXia immediately stood up after hearing his words. Xue thought about it for a
moment then he also stood up. However, the middle age man was panicking as his
face turned red. He acted anxiously with his head lowered. Ten seconds had passed.
Zheng was feeling impatient. H finally stood up and said. “I will come along. I hunted
birds with rifles before so I should able to contribute.”
Zheng sighed. He said to the two women. “You can go back to the hotel later. I’ve
spoken with the owner. Or you can wait for us here. Contact us through the device.
I wouldn’t recommend you go shopping or the like. You might lose your life on the
street. Understand?”
They nodded and agreed with Zheng’s suggestion. Zheng went for the door with the
three men. The thug was already waiting outside the room. He handed Zheng a new
smartphone as soon as he saw Zheng. “Boss, the people who have been monitoring
the building sent back information. Three Asians came out of the building. The man
9
carrying a large bag, a handsome sixteen-year-old girl, and a woman with glasses.
The little boy didn’t come out.”
Zheng took over the phone. “Let’s go. To the west district. WangXia, are you familiar
with sniping?”
WangXia paused for a moment. “Not really but I can use a sniper rifle. Do they have
a sniper?”
“Not a sniper. But his bow was more powerful and has a longer range compared to
normal sniper rifles.” Zheng sighed. “His bow was an enchanted weapon exchanged
through God. It had a range of over one kilometer with speed and power comparable
to normal sniper rifles. He also has an archery technique that can give a burst of
speed to the arrow.”
WangXia’s expression changed a bit. Zheng continued. “If I got shot, I want you to
find the location where the arrow came from using your knowledge of sniping. You
must tell me where he is within five seconds of me getting shot!”
The thug was rather clever, he found himself a limousine. The other four people sat
on the back as he drove. He even closed the little window separating the backseats
from the front so he wouldn’t hear their conversation.
Xue touched the leather seat and laughed. “Leader, seems like you have the potential
to be a thug. If you don’t have to go back to God’s dimension, you will definitely
reach the top in no time here.”
Zheng laughed. “Just call me by my name. What’s a leader that’s getting chased by
his team members? We are on the same boat right now. You need me to protect you,
and I need the additional firepower from you, or people to distract their attention. I
can’t catch them all by myself.”
WangXia asked. “Can’t kill them? That’s too unfair for us. We are weaker than them
to begin with. If we have to worry and hold back during the fight, we might as well
just concede.”
Zheng knew what he said was true and sighed. “Ok, fight with all you have. Don’t
hold back but don’t kill them if possible. My only request is don’t attack them if they
can’t fight back anymore.”
WangXia nodded without continuing on the topic. They rested quietly inside the car.
A few minutes later, Zheng and WangXia were the only ones still awake. The other
two people had fallen asleep. The car drove smoothly until it came to a traffic jam.
The thug knocked on the little window, then opened it and said. “Boss, there are
10
obstructions ahead. They are taking down a building. The demolition is about to
start. We have to wait after they finish.”
Zheng nodded without saying anything. As the thug was about to close the window,
he suddenly said. “Your necklace looks quite special. Can I take a look?”
The thug immediately took it off. This necklace had two decorations. A skull figure
in the front and a limousine figure on the back. As he moved the necklace, the skull
struck the limousine. Zheng could felt it laughing.
Zheng’s skipped a beat. He immediately shouted. “Hurry! Drive backward!”
The thug’s mind went blank for a moment. He shut his mouth and started the car
when he saw Zheng’s sharp eyes. Just then, a sports car was driving straight at them
with high speed. Sweat began forming at the thug’s forehead. He also felt a sense of
danger and immediately steered the wheel to the side. However, another car drove
up and blocked his side. There was nowhere the limousine could go!
“Get off! Hurry!”
Zheng shouted, instantly waking up the two that were napping. The next moment,
all the doors were automatically locked. Though the thug jumped off the limo before
that happened. Only Zheng and the other three players were locked inside.
Zheng sensed the danger approaching. He pushed WangXia and the others to the
side then kicked at the door. It created a big dent but the door was still firmly connected
to the car. The windows didn’t shatter either. WangXia had some experience.
He immediately yelled. “This is an armored limousine! Shit, the door has armor plating,
enough to sustain normal explosions!”
Zheng was feeling more and more anxious but his mind was still clear. He took out
the progressive knife. He heard sounds of explosions as he activated the knife. The
demolition had started.
Workers were leaving an abandoned building that was not far from the limousine.
The explosives were planted, waiting for the demolition expert to press the button.
A crane was clearing the pillars with a wrecking ball. A single bolt at where the
ball and crane connected fell off as it swung. The ball crushed two pillars in a row
then as it reached the highest point where it would normally come back down, the
explosions started. Shattered walls and floors were flying in all directions. One of the
bigger concretes struck the ball at its highest point. Combining with the shockwave
from the explosion, the wrecking ball broke off and went straight at the limousine.
11
Zheng sliced the door with one swing thanks to the sharpness of the progressive
knife. He then kicked the door away and jumped out at once.
Upon hearing a whistling sound, he automatically entered the unlocked state while
he was still in the air. He somehow felt that death was so sudden as he left the car.
He instinctively entered the unlocked state. Through the corners of his eyes, he saw
two arrows flying toward him from the back of the limousine. In just a moment, the
second arrow hit the tail of the first one, giving it a burst of speed. The arrow then
pierced Zheng’s right shoulder and pinned him against the back of the bus ahead of
him!
Zheng immediately coughed out a mouthful of blood. That arrow damaged his lungs
and the bones of his right shoulder. He couldn’t dodge during mid air, plus that burst
of speed was beyond what his eyes could see.
WangXia was the second one that jumped out of the car. He was shocked to see
Zheng pinned against a bus but he quickly reacted. He rolled over to a car on the
side. Xue also got out of the car by now, though he was slow to react. The sky
darkened as he was about to speak. He raised his head just to see a huge steel ball
falling down then smashed the limousine, and also Xue who was just right outside
the door. He was pressed into an indistinguishable piece right in front of Zheng and
WangXia’s eyes.
Though Zheng had no time to feel disgusted because the limousine exploded. The
shockwave pushed the ball at Zheng’s direction. He would be the next Xue if the
ball makes it.
Zheng entered the second stage at once. He pulled out the arrow with his left hand,
then jumped off the back of the bus as he activated the movement technique. The
ball was only a meter away by now. He jumped straight at the ball and using the ball
as a support to jump again. He was finally able to land on top of the bus at the same
time as the ball smashed the back of the bus. It all happened in less than a second
from when he jumped off the bus.
At this instant, the thought “If I am Yinkong” appeared in Zheng’s mind. He activated
the knife without thinking and swung it at his back.
Yinkong was laying on top of the bus. She stabbed the dagger at Zheng’s heart the
moment he jumped up. But to her surprise, Zheng swung the knife at her without
even turning his head. Clank! This was the first time the progressive knife hit an
object it couldn’t cut in half. Their movements followed were exactly the same. They
12
jumped at each other, slightly to the left side, and pointed the knife and dagger at
each others’ hearts.
Yinkong was surprise. Her speed had doubled after enhancing with the Shining, but
Zheng was able to match her speed with the second stage of the unlocked mode
and vampire Count bloodline. Zheng’s knife unexpectedly reached her left chest a
split second faster than her. Fortunately, she backed off just in time. But the knife
still scratched a big wound going from her chest to her left arm.
Yinkong clenched her teeth and jumped to the side of the bus before Zheng ran
up for another attack. Zheng followed her tightly, but the moment he jumped, that
feeling of danger struck him again.
Zheng was covered in cold sweat from the scare. He shouted without thinking any
further. “WangXia! Where is him!”
WangXia was stunned. The series of events happened all in just ten seconds, any
attack alone could take his life, not to mention that he couldn’t dodge them. But his
mental fortitude was firm. He pointed to a tall building from afar and said. “Over
there, but I can’t tell which floor!”
“Enough! I know which floor he’s in!”
Zheng was in the mindset of “if I am Heng”. He didn’t know what’s with this state of
the mind, but it appeared that he could really understand what Heng was thinking.
Like when to shoot the arrow, where should he aim, and what’s the best place to be in.
So he activated the movement technique at once and sprinted over to the building
when WangXia gave him an approximation. The bystanders watched in shock when
he jumped over one or multiple cars each time. People started yelling words like
“Chinese kungfu!”
He didn’t have to focus on any one person anymore. Everyone was enough of a
threat, whether it was Honglu’s strategies, Lan’s psyche scan, Yinkong’s assassination,
or Heng’s ranged attacks. Any person that he freed would increase his power
a lot. Even if he doesn’t make use of their help, reducing the enemies’ strengths
was also valuable. So he stopped chasing after Yinkong who possessed the highest
threat. It was a victory as long as he could free either Heng or Lan.
Zheng’s speed was unmatched when the movement technique was in effect. He felt
killing intent locked onto him twice during the way but they both disappeared before
reaching a height, then it never came back again. Zheng had reached the building.
He felt that Heng was on the first floor before so he jumped up using the protruding
13
objects on the wall. The movement technique shown its usefulness in the complex
terrain of this urban city.
Zheng finally reached the third floor within a few jumps. He slashed at the window
then kicked the glass away. There was no one in the room, only several footprints.
The was a man and woman here judging from the footprints.
Zheng rushed out of the room without thinking further. He ran down the stairs and as
expected, there was a woman running out from the main entrance. Though Zheng’s
speed was unparalleled. He ran out of the building and saw Lan running away. He
reached Lan within a few steps and hit her on the back of her head, knocking her
out.
Zheng felt a pain in his head as soon as Lan lost consciousness. He suddenly entered
the half awake, half dreaming state, just like when he was teleporting between God’s
dimension and the movie worlds. However, he felt more conscious because he saw
Jie in front of him.
Jie took a breath then laughed lightly. This cheerful man seemed like he didn’t know
what to do. Zheng was patient. He observed the surrounding carefully. To his surprise,
he could only see Jie clearly, everything was like in a fog.
“Don’t bother looking. This state is the communication of our consciousness.” Jie
sighed, but he was still smiling. “Congratulation for completing a quarter of the mission.
I want to take this chance to remind you that in the Final Destination series, although
you only have to survive five days but Death’s attacks will become more and
more fearsome as time passes. Death will ignore the lives of other people around
you by the fourth day. So come to me if you want to live. This movie will end as soon
as you defeat me. Is there anything you want to know?”
Zheng pondered for a moment then asked seriously. “What is the purpose of your
existence? No, I should ask, who are you?”
“The Guide. God wouldn’t put people who just entered this world go straight into
danger at once. So it created this role to give people a chance. The Guide won’t
actually die until the first person unlocks his or her constraint. Usually this would be
the first level. The Guide’s function is to test if that person can become a leader. If
he passes the test, then the Guide will give him the leader position and increase his
unlocked state by one level.” Jie sighed and muttered.
“So you’re the Guide? And also the leader of team China? I can’t understand. I
have already unlocked the second level, why did you wait so long to test me? If you
14
are the leader of team China, why are you testing me? Does this test not take into
consideration the lives of the other team members?”
Jie shook his head. “I am the Guide and also the leader of team China. The Guide
is not allowed to attack any team members unless this member is the one taking the
test. Otherwise God will punish him.”
Zheng was going to inquire further but Jie turned around and said. “I’ve answered
a quarter of the questions. Come find me if you want to know more. I am at the top
of the television building. Remember what I told you, Death’s attacks will be more
fearsome the longer this movie goes on. If you want to live, come find me and defeat
me before it happens. You’ve done a great job. You are reaching the third level of
the unlocked state already. Keep it up, my comrade. Come defeat me.”
Zheng immediately chased after him. However, he woke up as he was about to touch
Jie’s shoulder. Nothing changed in the outside world. All the pedestrians were still
in the same place. Lan was still in his arms. It seemed time had stopped during the
conversation.
“Guide? Leader? Jie, what are you trying to tell me?”
Zheng shouted. He was felt lost and regrets letting him get away after just a several
sentences.
WangXia and the thug came over rather quick. They were already calling for Zheng
when they saw him from afar. Zheng stopped hiding his abilities in front of normal
people and activated his movement technique while carrying Lan. He quickly ran
over to WangXia and the thug then said. “Go, to the front where there is no traffic
jam.”
Zheng jumped from car to car in the shocking expressions of the drivers and pedestrians.
When he got out of the traffic jam, he kicked a dent into the door of a car that
was about to start. The driver raised his hands immediately and looked at that dent
in shock.
Zheng took out two gold bars and said. “Get off!”
The driver’s eyes cycled between the gold and the dent then he grabbed the gold,
opened the other door and ran. He threw his keys on the seat. Seemed like he
wasn’t expecting to get the car back again.
Zheng carefully placed Lan on the backseats then hopped on the driver’s seat. After
igniting the car, he looked back at WangXia and the thug. These two were much
15
slower and took another half minute before reaching the car. Without further ado,
the thug took the front seat and WangXia got in the back.
Zheng took a breath and started the car. He asked the thug. “Which way is the west
district?”
The thug seemed frightened. He nodded with his pale face. “Boss, I am very familiar
with this area. Follow this road and you will reach the west district soon. Don’t worry.
This is a safe area.”
Zheng and WangXia smiled bitterly. There was no safe place for them in this
movie. Anything could happen and death could come at any time. Zheng continued.
“WangXia, help me wake her up. Don’t injure her. Wake her up with your military
methods.”
WangXia nodded then pressed on Lan’s back. She slowly opened her eyes then
looked around with shocking surprise. It wasn’t until she heard Zheng’s voice did
the shock subsided. The environment was too strange when she woke up.
“Lan, I will tell you the details later. Help me scan for Heng, Yinkong, Honglu, and Jie.
We can’t be the ones who keep getting attacked. We will get ready to counterattack
once we obtain the weapons tomorrow!”
Chapter 3
Zheng finally arrived at west district. This so called west district was obviously the
ghetto. Blacks and whites in ragged clothes were everywhere. And women in heavy
but cheap make ups that looked sorry to the eyes. This was where the poorest of
the city gathered.
The thug got off the car and said to Zheng with respect. “Boss, Old Crab is the biggest
arms dealer around. No one dares to provoke him, even Black Jack who manages
this city. Of course he’s still a normal person so he’s not comparable to you. Come,
boss, he’s by the warehouses in area A.”
Zheng and the other three followed him through the valleys. Lan finally got the
chance to speak with him. “When Jie looked at me in the bus, I followed him away.
Even though my body was moving but my mind was in a chaotic state. I don’t know
why but I had the idea that you were the biggest monster in this movie. The movie
would end if we kill you. I felt a little reluctant but you became a normal person when
it comes to action.”
16
Zheng sighed. “Just like what I thought. You were probably hypnotized by Jie. Remember
that time we took a trip. You were also hypnotized. Although you kept your
consciousness but your body walked into the ocean on its own. I am almost certain
that it was Jie who wanted to kill you!”
Lan’s eyes reddened. “But why did he do this? Aren’t we comrades? You saved him
several times, and he also saved us. Also, why didn’t he attack team India during The
Mummy? Zero wouldn’t have died…”
Zheng gritted his teeth. “Guide. He said he’s the so called Guide. I don’t know what
that is but I know I will give him a beating! No matter what the reason is, I think
everyone can forgive him if he told us. But what is this? Making us fight among
ourselves? Aren’t he worried that one of us can die? Fuck!”
WangXia listened quietly. He was not qualified to say anything about the matter as
a newbie. When Zheng and Lan was done, he finally said. “Zheng, we still need one
thing aside from weapon if you’re planning to attack the television building.”
Zheng replied with curiosity. “What is it?”
“An armored car that’s used to transport money. I’ve seen the power of that arrow. It
pierced through a large portion of that limousine. This power is comparable to that
of a sniper rifle. I don’t think regular bulletproof cars can defend against it. We need
to drive straight into the building, and that requires driving at least one kilometers in
the open to accelerate, during which we don’t have any means to fight back. I don’t
think you can just charge in judging by that speed and power. So we must obtain an
armored car!” WangXia said.
Zheng massaged his temples. He knew WangXia was right. Heng’s shots had the
power of a sniper rifle without using the Charged Shot ability. If he used the ability,
although that puts him in exhaustion for ten minutes, then its power might approach
that of the Gauss sniper rifle. That is not something a human body can defend against.
Even just getting scratched by the arrow was enough to critically injure him. Zero had
proved such power multiple times. Zheng didn’t want to take this risk.
“If this movie ends as soon as we defeat Jie, then it shouldn’t be a problem robbing
an armored car. But I am worried about Death intervening. Then we will be caught
in the attacks of both the police and Jie’s group. I don’t think we can survive if the
situation gets so bad.” Zheng muttered.
After a while, Zheng suddenly asked Lan. “Where are they? Can you still sense
them?”
17
Lan shook her head. “No. My senses stopped about five kilometers outside the
building. It’s like something is blocking my vision. I can’t get sense anything further
in. Remember the psyche force user from team India? I think she encountered the
same situation.”
Zheng gritted his teeth. “Fine. Fuck. I don’t care anymore. We will go rob an armored
car tomorrow! Then WangXia will come with me to the television building!”
Just then, the thug turned around. “Boss, that warehouse is Old Crab’s base. We
might get searched. It’s their rule.”
Zheng nodded. He looked at where the thug was pointing. There was an abandoned
warehouse by the side. Several blacks were talking outside the warehouse. They
looked at ease, and not like people guarding an arms warehouse.
These blacks stood up as the four walked near. There was a hint of coldness through
their eyes. That made them a little different from regular thugs. The head of the group
said coldly. “John, this is the boss you mentioned? You fucking fooling me?”
The thugs face turned slightly red. Zheng suddenly punched at the door before he
could speak. With a loud sound, his put a dent over ten centimeters deep onto the
door.
Zheng wasn’t in the mood to probe around each other. He said in straightforward
words. “Don’t fucking waste my time. I am here to buy things and you are selling.
Don’t try to show authority like you do to regular thugs. Get your boss over or I will
send you to Jesus!”
Their faces looked a little pale. Zheng didn’t just punched a dent but a flame also
appeared in his hand and burned a hole on the door. This power gave them a chill.
Perhaps they were bold enough to fight and kill normal people, and not even death
could make them frown. But unimaginable powers suddenly induced fear in them.
They didn’t want to get in conflict with this person. Just that punch could have taken
their lives.
One person immediately said. “Wait. Our boss has been waiting for you the whole
time.”
Zheng pulled back his fist and stood in front of the door quietly. The thug who came
with him felt some kind of pride and looked at the blacks proudly. The blacks lowered
their heads. They didn’t even dare to take another look at Zheng.
No one noticed a few drops of melted metal on the door dripped off from the hole.
They landed on a piece of paper and ignited the paper. , then with a gentle wave of
18
wind flew to the corner of the warehouse. There was a wooden container covered
with a piece of cloth. The burning paper landed on this cloth. Slowly…
Before long, a short and chubby white man with a cigar in his mouth casually walked
over. He was listening to his men unconcerned but his expressions suddenly
changed after the last few words, especially when he walked over to the door and
saw the hole. He immediately laughed. “You’re here, my friend. I’ve been waiting
for you the whole day. It’s almost 4pm. Are you all ready to look at the weapons?”
Zheng said. “You sell us the weapons. We will pay in gold. You don’t have to know
anything else and we won’t come back. I will pay you five times the weapons’ normal
price!”
Without any delay, chubby nodded to his men. One of the black men took out the
keys and opened seven locks on the warehouse door. Chubby walked in first after
the door opened.
“Take a look at this AK47. Cheap and powerful and comes with a hundred bullets!”
He pulled off the cloths showing the oiled guns underneath and also cases of bullets.
The amount of bullets was enough to destroy this whole warehouse. Chubby was
also careful and threw the cigar away before he entered. He picked up an AK47
excitedly then gave a description. Though Zheng already had his weapon, and Lan
wasn’t skilled with these guns. WangXia was the only one choosing. Yet he was also
an expert. These regular guns weren’t good enough for him.
“If we are doing an assault, I choose this submachine gun and some grenades. We
can also take a semi marksmen rifle with a range of 300 meters. I am also a qualified
sniper. Let me see. They have an ok selection of grenades. Too bad there are no
mines. I can modify these grenades into pressure activated traps. But I would need
a day to modify.”
WangXia said his thoughts as he chose his weapons. Zheng was also listening carefully
then he suddenly saw the word “explosives” on a container. Then he looked
around at the other containers and there was one with the word “warehouse”.
“Warehouse explosion! Fuck!”
Zheng didn’t have the time for anything else. He picked up Lan and ran to the door.
Everyone watched in confusion as Zheng ran toward the door. Only WangXia suddenly
thought of something. His face immediately turned pale. However, there were
little explosions coming from a bullet container from one of the corners before he
had time to even drop the gun he was holding. The explosions were getting louder
19
until the whole container exploded with a flash. Bullets shot out like from a machine
gun. Several black people nearest to the area were instantly shot, then chubby and
the thug also got shot by the wild bullets. WangXia was farther away but within a few
steps he was devoured by the fire from the explosion.
Zheng clenched his teeth. He entered the unlocked mode as he was running. The
muscles on his legs expanded, then he charged at the door while screaming. He
had gotten so close to the door in just a blink of a eye. However, the explosion was
approaching at the same time and also the bullets and shrapnels. His back was hit
by ten bullets within just the ten steps he took. Fortunately, these bullets were shot
by the explosion and not through a gun. He was only several meters away from the
door by now.
“Ahh!” Zheng jumped up about half a meter using the movement technique. He
floated in the air like a feather. Right at that instant, the blast sent him flying out.
Since his was still using the movement technique and his body was lighter than usual,
it minimized the damage he took from the blast. Of course his back was hit with more
bullets and shrapnels at the same time.
Lan immediately turned around to look at Zheng when they landed. His mouth was
full of blood and his face was pale white. Lan wanted to hold him but Zheng grabbed
her hands and continued running away. Before long, the warehouse finally exploded.
Not only the bullets but fragments of the warehouse were also shot out by the explosion.
The place they were standing on got bombed by these fragments. Lan felt
scared after seeing it. After running along the road for quite some distance, Zheng
pulled Lan into a valley.
As soon as they got in, Zheng couldn’t hold hit anymore and kneeled down. Lan also
saw the wound on his back. Her hands trembled but she clenched her teeth then
slowly took off his shirt. There was not a single intact spot on Zheng’s back. Luckily
his spine was not damaged. Otherwise he wouldn’t have been able to run so far.
Zheng took a breath. He handed the progressive knife to Lan. “Don’t shake, keep
its balance. Then scoop the bullets and shrapnels out. Don’t worry, they are not as
powerful as gunshots. Plus my body is much stronger than that of normal people’s.
They only got into the surface of my muscle. Hurry, scoop them out then use the
hemostasis spray.”
Lan took the knife with her trembling hand. She couldn’t hold her tears anymore but
she knew this was urgent. She pointed the knife at Zheng’s back without any words.
However, the knife was shaking just like her hands. It instantly scratched a wound
20
on Zheng’s back.
Lan took a deep breath. The images of Zheng saving her in Alien flowed through
her mind, that tenderness, and sense of safety. The time Zheng jumped from the
building carrying her in The Grudge, when his arm expanded and almost broke apart.
His figure when he directed orders and protected them in The Mummy. And how he
just charged out of the explosion.
Lan’s eyes went out of focus as she recalled. Her hands stopped trembling. She
condensed her psyche scan to just one meter in front of her. She could “see” the
location of every bullet and shrapnel. She flipped the knife and a shrapnel came out.
Then the second one, third one. The ground was slowly piling up with bullets and
shrapnels. After the last one came out, Zheng immediately handed her the hemostasis
spray. Zheng breathed a sigh of relief as he felt the cooling sensation on his
back.
“That’s amazing, Lan. Never knew you have the potential to be a doctor. Lan?” Zheng
took out the bandages as he spoke. However, Lan fell to the ground before he can
hand them to her.
Her body was convulsing violently like she was experiencing extreme pain. Tear was
streaming out and blood was bleeding from the corner of her mouth. Two seconds
later, she opened her mouth and tried to breath. Yet, her lungs didn’t expand. The
air couldn’t enter her lungs.
Zheng immediately knew what just happened. Lan broke her constraint when she
was giving him medical treatment. The first time entering the unlocked mode was
the most dangerous. That pain felt worse than death itself. Zheng still remembered
the first time he experienced the pain. If it wasn’t for Lan’s help back then, he might
have died from suffocation. He could tell how bad this pain was for her when the
stats of her body was even lower than his stats back then.
Zheng took a deep breath then kissed her without hesitation. Then he pushed air
into her. He could not endure this pain in her place so he held her in his arms quietly
and felt her body as she convulsed in pain.
Zheng’s communication device rang at this moment. But neither of them had the
energy to pay any attention to it.
On the other side of the city, Lilin and ZhuWen kept pressing the device as they cried.
After some time, Lilin threw it on the ground and said. “Liar. Keep in contact with the
device, but who has the time for this when it actually comes to the critical moments!”
21
ZhuWen suddenly opened her eyes against an empty space in the room. Then she
held onto Lilin in fear. “Horrifying. There was like a skull floating around the room. It
saw me opened my eyes then laughed creepily.”
Lilin forced a smile. “How can there be a skull floating around. It was just the wind.”
Then she couldn’t continue talking. She was familiar with the movie so she knew that
wind symbolized Death. A gust of wind coming out of nowhere typically meant the
start of Death’s attack!
The two of them came back to the hotel following Zheng’s order. Nothing happened
in the beginning. They were also very cautious. Especially since Lilin watched the
series and ZhuWen had special premonitions, they avoided several accidents within
this time. However, a gust of wind flew by just then. Suddenly people were screaming
from the first floor. They listened carefully and heard cries of fire.
Lilin was quick to react. She immediately went to the door but the door wouldn’t
open, like the lock was stuck. The door wouldn’t budge no matter how she smashed
it with objects or pulled. Similarly, the windows were also stuck.
Slowly, the two women began to smell a burnt odor and increasing heat coming from
the floor. Fortunately, the floor was concrete. They didn’t have to worry about the
fire burning a hole.
Lilin gritted her teeth. She picked up a chair then smashed the window. The glass
finally shattered after a few tries. She put her head out and began to cry for help.
There were quite some warmhearted Americans. People on the street ran over.
About ten people gathered down below. Several guys called for them to jump. It
was only the second floor, they could catch the two women.
Lilin helped ZhuWen over to the window and said. “Don’t worry. I will jump right after.
It’s not high and people down below can catch you.”
ZhuWen showed a concerned expression but she nodded. After Lilin let go of her
hand, ZhuWen clenched her teeth then jumped off the window. The muscular guys
indeed caught her with ease. Lilin let out a sigh of relief. She was very worried about
ZhuWen. This feeling was pure and genuine like that between a pair of sisters.
Then Lilin also stood on the window and looked down. The fire on first floor was
getting stronger. Smoke was floating upward. She could barely see the people below.
She clenched her teeth and finally jumped.
Just as Lilin fell past the first floor and was about to reach the ground, an explosion
occurred in the room on the first floor. A sharp stick of wood shot out the window.
22
This burning stick pierced her through the heart then hanged her there. She was still
alive by then but the fire was burning her. Those miserable screams made everyone’s
face turn pale. Their eyes were filled with terror. ZhuWen almost fainted from crying.
Lilin struggled, cried, then was burned into charcoal in front of everyone’s eyes.
Chapter 4
The kiss lasted for a long time. Lan finally came out of the pain. Fortunately, the
majority of the pain occurred in her mind and not her physical body. So although she
was still feeling a little headache, it was not life threatening. Seemed like there were
different types of unlocked modes.
Lan recovered but the two of them didn’t separate. Zheng didn’t know what his real
feelings were. It took a while before he left Lan’s lips. Her face was red by then,
perhaps due to the pain or perhaps due to her shyness.
Zheng coughed a few times then laughed. “Hehe. You better now? You seemed to
be in a pretty bad condition. Is it because you unlocked your constraint?”
Lan said with surprise. “That state of mind is the unlocked mode? I don’t know. I felt
like my hands moved following my instincts when I concentrated on picking out the
shrapnels from your back. My hands knew where the knife should go and how much
strength I should use. I also condensed my psyche scan to a very small area. I could
see and feel every inch of your body.”
Zheng subconsciously looked down. This little action made Lan blushed again. He
immediately said. “Hoho. Good. It’s a good thing that you unlocked your constraint.
Though don’t unlock it again within these two days if you don’t have to. Your DNA
might fall apart if you use it too frequently in the beginning. Then you will die if you
can’t get back to God’s dimension in time. So promise me don’t unlock it if you can.”
Lan nodded obediently. Zheng then handed her the bandage. “Help me bandage
up first. Hm? Someone contacted me just then?”
Zheng turned on the device. Strangely, all he could heard were crackling sounds. It
took him quite a while to make out these sounds were that of woods burning. No
one answered on the other side. In other words, the device was dropped into a fire.
Then those two women were probably…
Zheng felt a sudden chill. He remembered he was constantly getting put in danger
since he entered this movie. If it wasn’t for his enhancements and the unlocked
23
mode that provided him with a strong sixth sense against danger, he might have
been killed by the accidents. The first attack from electricity was enough to kill any
normal person. He survived the following attacks with both luck and strength. Unless
Death didn’t attack the two women, they wouldn’t be able to survive one attack.
Zheng sighed. “All the newbies died. Everyone from the bus aside from me died.”
Lan felt a chill and immediately said. “Don’t say such negative words. Aren’t you still
doing well? Don’t worry. We just have to defeat Jie.”
Zheng shook his head with a bitter smile. “It’s difficult. Jie is stronger than we thought.
And there’s Yinkong, Heng, and Honglu. It’s difficult to defeat them.”
Lan leaned on his side. “Don’t worry. I will always help you. There’s got to be a way
to defeat Jie.”
Zheng massaged his temples. He began to ponder how he should solve the current
situation.
“Lan, I have a way to go straight to Jie but you will have to take most of the risk. You
might encounter great danger.” Zheng said in a serious tone.
She nodded and said. “No problem. I can’t have you be the one taking all the risks.
Let me join the fight! Please.”
“Still remember the training? It was also the two of us against the four of them. Now
we only have to defeat Jie. So we can totally ignore the other three. The mission is
over if I can get to him. So, my plan is…”
ZhuWen finally waited for the police to arrive. Even the cops felt a chill when they
saw the human charcoal. Everyone would be when you imagine a person was burned
alive. So it took quite some time before they came to question her.
Of course, without any forms of identification, green card, address, or even documents
of enter the border, ZhuWen was marked as an illegal immigrant. She was put
into a police car and headed to the station.
The cops didn’t treat her too badly. One, no man would bear to treat a beautiful
woman bad. Two, the informants said she had relationship with the boss of the new
rising mafia gang.
So one cop took her back while the others stayed at the scene of fire to maintain
order and possibly find the source of fire.
This cop was a middle age man. He didn’t talk and just turned on the radio after he
24
closed the car windows. The rock and roll music gave him a sense of satisfaction.
He drove on as he continuously waved his head.
ZhuWen was feeling more and more horrible. Both for Lilin’s death and also the
situation she was in. She could see horrifying figures coming at her. This feeling was
so scary, like she might dead at the next second. The feeling felt intense as the car
drove on.
The cop was still waving his head as he sped passed several cars until he came up
to a truck carrying bamboos. The truck was too big for him to drive pass. He honked
it impatiently. The truck acted like it wanted to let the police car pass as it drove left
and right. However, due to the truck’s size and the narrow street, the police car had
no choice but to follow behind.
The feeling of death had reached a height for ZhuWen. She kept knocking on the
little window between the back and the driver’s seat. But the music drowned out all
the noise. The cop continued driving behind the truck.
One of the ropes that tied the bamboos in place snapped, then another one. The
bamboos were getting loose.
At the same time, ZhuWen was knocking louder and louder. The cop finally noticed it.
He immediately opened the little window and asked without turning around. “What’s
wrong? Not feeling well?”
One stick of bamboo slid off the truck and pierced through the car window then
went straight at the little window. ZhuWen just moved her head over to speak but
the bamboo entered her mouth.
Zheng suddenly sat up. He looked around the park he and Lan had been staying
in but there was no danger. The nearest building was also a hundred meters away.
There shouldn’t be anything here that Death could make use of.
Zheng’s body was full of injuries after the fight then the explosion yesterday. The
injuries were too much even for the vampire bloodline. So he found this park to take
a night of rest after eating some fast food. Though he was the only one resting. Lan
had to continue scanning the television building throughout the night. He could only
rest without worrying while she was using the scan.
A slimmer of light appeared across the horizon. Zheng moved around a bit. It was
only a night of rest and most injuries were healed, even the arrow hit on his shoulder
was almost done healing. He was waiting for the sun to come up then he would
charge at the building directly. He planned to give Jie a beating!
25
“Not going to sleep a bit? Let me take guard.” Zheng sat next to Lan and said with
sympathy.
Lan laughed. “Hehe. No problem. We should be able to go back today. Don’t worry.
You’ve been protecting me the whole time. It actually doesn’t feel bad to protect
you.”
Zheng was quiet. He looked up at the sky. The appearance of Venus signified the
beginning of a new day.
“Do you still remember that training? Jie, wait for me!”
Banks usually transport money at 9 in the morning. Zheng walked toward a bank.
“Yinkong left the television building. Strangely though Heng didn’t leave. She’s about
ten minutes away from us.” Lan said through the device.
Zheng replied. “Then the plan remains unchanged. Go take a taxi and run across
the bridge. You aren’t on Death’s list so just keep running away. I will drive around
Yinkong and go straight into the building. Go attract their attention like how we did
in the training. I will flank them from behind. Believe in me, I will defeat Jie before
Yinkong get to you!”
The device was silent for a moment then Lan muttered. “Be careful.”
Zheng put down the device. He took a deep breath then walked over to the bank
casually. He was going to pass by the armored car.
A security guard stopped him. “Please wait. The bank is not open yet.”
Zheng punched him in the chest without saying anything. The punch sent him flying
several meters even with the bulletproof vest and collided with another security
guard. Zheng’s eyes went out of focus as he entered the second stage of the unlocked
mode. He needed to end the fight in as little time as possible. Plus, he must
not get hit by any gunshot. He had to be in perfect condition for the fight with Jie!
The security guards’ were in slow motion through his eyes. Zheng charged at one of
them and bent the gun before the guard could fire. He kicked the guard down then
punched the his chest. Everything happened in just a second. The other guards
hadn’t even raised their guns when this one was knocked unconscious.
The two guards that were knocked down in the beginning looked in shock. Zheng
slashed at them with the knife as soon as they raised their guns. Two arms fell off
like tofu. Zheng then grabbed their heads and smashed them together. These two
guards also fell unconscious.
26
The remaining three guards on the other side of the car heard something was going
wrong. They ran over with their guns loaded but to their surprise, they found no one
other than the three guards on the ground. They didn’t see Zheng who was standing
