Chapter 340 Trouble is brewing
Jiang Xingni was driving with a tense and exciting feeling. Both Xiao Jiming, who was sitting in the passenger seat, and Lu Ming, who was sitting in the back seat, were gripping the door handles tightly.
Xiao Jiming had once had the privilege of riding in Song Juexiao's car, but now, as he pondered deeply, he wondered which driving school Song Juexiao and Jiang Xingni had learned to drive at, because the two of them drove with a familiar sense of recklessness.
Xiao Jiming was somewhat prepared because she had ridden in Song Juexiao's car before, but Lu Ming had never seen such a scene before. She held onto the seatbelt with one hand and the handrail with the other, and secretly glanced out the window. She was terrified by the scenery rushing past the window and the traffic that was left behind in the blink of an eye.
"If there were a car accident right now," Lu Ming asked absentmindedly, "would I even be able to leave with a complete corpse?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Lu Ming watched helplessly as Jiang Xingni made another razor-sharp overtake, weaving between the two semi-trailers and successfully leaving the pursuers behind him further and further away.
There were quite a few semi-trailers and full trailers on the outer ring road. Lu Ming looked at the semi-trailers around him that could be used as two-dimensional foil attacks, reducing their entire carload to a two-dimensional world. His expression was slightly desperate: "Is this the world of shonen manga?"
She thought she had entered a teen superhero comic book, but it turned out to be Fast & Furious?
Jiang Xing glanced at the rearview mirror and saw that the pursuers were several car lengths behind. She narrowed her eyes and finally felt like chatting with Lu Ming: "It's okay."
She comforted Lu Ming, "An esper's physical abilities are not such that they would be killed by a car accident, and I think with your reaction speed, you could easily have dodged it."
It was precisely because there was no ordinary person on the bus that Jiang Xingni dared to be so fearless, completely unafraid that his mistake would cause someone to die.
As a result, Lu Ming felt that his days ahead were even more hopeless.
Just because superhumans can't die, does that mean they can go on and cause trouble to death?
She was about to scream that this was torture for people with superpowers!
Xiao Jiming wasn't worried that Jiang Xingni's driving skills would kill them. He was also confident that even if something went wrong, he was skilled enough to protect himself and Lu Ming in the back seat.
Even if he were to be thrown out of the car, Xiao Jiming was confident that he could ensure that both of them landed safely on the ground, so Jiang Xingni wouldn't need him to worry about her safety.
Xiao Jiming was simply experiencing motion sickness.
"You could go and have a racing skills competition with Song Juexiao," Xiao Jiming muttered to himself.
Jiang Xingni pretended not to hear Xiao Jiming verbally attacking her driving skills and decided that if she survived this time, she would go to Song Juexiao to complain.
We must make sure Xiao Jiming is desensitized to the idea of speed and passion.
How could an excellent superhuman get carsick? Absolutely not.
Lu Ming was still regretting why he had agreed to go with Xiao Jiming. If he hadn't agreed, he wouldn't have arrived at VOID's branch base with them and wouldn't have been chased by so many people in the base. Lu Ming's first reaction was to kill them directly, but Jiang Xingni stopped him.
Killing them isn't too difficult, but it's still a huge waste of time.
She recalled Pei Zhaoye's tone on the other end of the phone. To be honest, Jiang Xingni didn't think she had enough time to let Lu Ming go on a killing spree.
Jiang Xingni was even more puzzled—was the feng shui of the lower city really that good for people? Whether it was her, Xiao Jiming, or Lu Ming, even Lu Ming, who was the most timid at the beginning, now seemed to be very at ease and showed no signs of discomfort from suddenly gaining power.
Lu Ming now seems like a predator who has suddenly entered unfamiliar territory, eager to test his place in this new food chain.
Jiang Xingni felt fortunate for her ambition, but also troubled by her excessive murderous intent.
Why did Lu Ming accept the fact that he killed someone so quickly?
In short, the three of them quickly left the branch's base while being chased. Seeing that the number of people chasing them was increasing, Jiang Xingni grabbed a car that was temporarily parked on the side of the road. She wondered why the car parked on the side of the road still looked so new after the nuclear attack and the zombie crisis. She then took Xiao Jiming and Lu Ming and headed towards the city of Costa.
If they were mentally sound, most people wouldn't venture into a city still contaminated by nuclear radiation just to hunt down an intruder.
As a result, Jiang Xingni watched them follow her, and she fell into deep thought.
As she got closer to Costa, the city became increasingly prosperous, and Jiang Xingni fell into deep thought.
—After a nuclear strike, how quickly can a city recover?
Even as he watched the bustling traffic around him, with English signs standing atop tall buildings, Jiang Xingni could see those glittering signs from a distance, their multicolored lights flashing in the night, almost like light pollution at first glance.
Jiang Xing glanced at Xiao Jiming, who expertly opened his phone and texted Pei Zhaoye, demanding, "What happened? Wasn't it said that this city had been destroyed by a nuclear bomb?"
Pei Zhaoye was juggling multiple tasks and also needed to respond to the questions raised by Xiao Jiming.
When he received the message from Xiao Jiming, he suddenly remembered that Song Juexiao had only sent the intelligence to the academy. Who would have thought that Jiang Xingni and Xiao Jiming were doing well in the country, but then suddenly came over, so naturally no one sent them intelligence.
The result is what we see now.
Pei Zhaoye ignored him and forwarded the information and speculations he had sent to the academy with one click, along with their current situation.
Xiao Jiming endured his motion sickness and stared at the intelligence package sent by Pei Zhaoye.
Xiao Jiming looked at Jiang Xingni and said, "It's good that you came."
He whispered, "They're in trouble."
He explained to Jiang Xingni in a very fast-paced manner all the intelligence that Song Juexiao and his group had investigated, as well as their current situation.
If there were no trouble, Jiang Xingni definitely wouldn't have come back. She squinted and immediately headed into the city. The car behind her finally broke through the traffic and caught up.
As Jiang Xingni hesitated between running the red light and being forced to stop by it, then getting out of the car and starting a fight, she suddenly saw the red light change color.
Jiang Xing stepped on the gas and sped off.
The moment the car sped past, the light turned red again, trapping the pursuers in the traffic and blocking them at the intersection.
"...Pei Zhaoye?" Jiang Xingni and Xiao Jiming exchanged a glance.
