Rebirth: Exclusive Love in the End of the World-Chapter 66 - Different Purposes

Immediately, there was movement in the vehicle; several people came out, pitter-patter, each holding a gun in hand.

Han Jiaojiao counted them; counting the driver, there were five in total. However, Han Yi hadn’t even glanced their way the entire time; she guessed that he didn’t take these few people seriously and felt relieved, sitting beside him and carefully watching. She couldn’t help but compare both sides and thought that the people on the off-road vehicle had too poor a mental quality; Xiao Jian hadn’t even done much, and they were all ready to jump at the trigger.

Yan Xiao found their reaction amusing and laughed, “So what is this, are you asking for directions or trying to rob us?”

The bald man on the driver’s seat jumped out of the car with a grin, “Yo, you’re pretty well-equipped here. Getting your hands on guns isn’t for the average Joe these days, dragging all this gear out to such a godforsaken place… don’t tell me you’re also here for that ‘thing’?”

Xiao Jian snorted coldly, “Nonsense.”

Yan Xiao didn’t speak, but raised his eyebrows and looked at the bald man for a while before speaking slowly, “Kerry, are you done yet?”

As soon as these words were spoken, the bald man’s expression changed drastically, and his face turned white in an instant!

“… You, you guys…”

“Oh, remember to ask next time before you ask for directions. What if you run into a Superpower User who can turn invisible? It’s not pleasant to have a gun pointing at your head, right?”

When the others heard Yan Xiao say this, they exploded!

“Damn! Daring to mess with us in the shadows!”

Swish, swish, swish, swish— all the guns were raised, aimed directly at Yan Xiao and Xiao Jian.

One of them shouted loudly, “Tell that invisible person to back off!”

Yan Xiao let out a light sigh and placed a hand on Xiao Jian’s shoulder, saying leisurely, “Who told you we only have one Superpower User?”

The four men opposite, along with the bald man, were all taken aback.

“My brother here is a speed-type Ability user, faster than any of your guns. Want to see whose is quicker? Alright, we’re game.” Yan Xiao curved his mouth into a broad smile.

The bald man was sweating bullets and could feel the cold muzzle pressed against his temple. He didn’t dare to make a move and cursed his bad luck internally for running into such a tough situation!

“Bro, this is all a misunderstanding; we were just passing through…”

Xiao Jian scoffed and said with a cold face, “Just now you were still forcing us to explain ourselves, weren’t you?”

“It’s a misunderstanding! Definitely a misunderstanding!” The bald man’s eyes twitched as he stiffly said, “Look, our car is heading west, and your car is obviously going north. Our directions are different, our goals are different, no interference! It’s all a misunderstanding!”

After listening, Yan Xiao turned to look back—Lu Changyuan was examining a map, looking indifferent, and Han Yi was speaking quietly with Han Jiaojiao, paying no attention to them.

Sigh, how frustrating… Neither of the leaders is managing things…

Yan Xiao exhaled and, feeling it was pretty pointless, waved in the direction of the bald man and said, “Get lost, quick.”

The bald man retreated a few awkward steps, got into the car, and the others followed suit one after another. Han Jiaojiao faintly heard them arguing inside the car—

“Why are we afraid of them?… Boss, don’t you also have an Ability…”

“Idiot! Do you think those people behind them are just for show?!”

…

The SUV soon vanished from everyone’s sight.

Xiao Jian irritably said, “Trouble, we might as well have killed them all.”

Bai Kairui, more kindhearted, persuaded him, “Forget it, we didn’t suffer any loss. There’s no need for a massacre.”

“It seems they are looking for something around this area,” Yan Xiao said as he returned to the campfire, his curiosity piqued. “Could they know that Han had stashed supplies here?”

Without looking up, Lu Changyuan said, “Probably not; the direction is wrong. I guess they are searching for something else. Their weapons are new, and several of them obviously aren’t familiar with using them—they either didn’t snatch them themselves or someone else handed them over. I suspect they are mercenaries on a mission to find something… At this time, to be able to hire desperados and equip them with high-end weapons, this person is not someone benevolent, nor someone easy to provoke.”

Xiao Jian’s expression darkened further, “Should have killed them all earlier, to save future trouble.”

“Let it be. It’s none of our business. We’ll just take the supplies and leave here tomorrow,” Yan Xiao consoled him.

As they spoke for a while, the sun had completely set, and after the last ray of twilight disappeared from the horizon, the night quickly enveloped the land. Unlike in the city, the stars here shone particularly bright; the wind had stopped, and the surroundings were utterly serene. Han Jiaojiao sat alone on a moisture-proof pad, looking up at the star-filled sky.

These stars, identical to those back then.

Han Yi came over and draped a jacket over her shoulders. The temperature difference between day and night here was considerable; it was scorching hot during the day, but as soon as the sun set, the temperature dropped.

“Xiao Jian found a nest of sand rats some tens of meters back. I’m going to check it out.”

“Oh,” Han Jiaojiao zipped up her jacket.

Han Yi touched her head and then said, “Go to sleep if you’re tired. It’s safe around here.”

“Yeah, I know. Go ahead.”

Han Jiaojiao obediently nodded, and only then did Han Yi leave.

Han Jiaojiao knew that everyone valued Han Yi’s Ability. Whenever they saw live animals on the road, they would try to capture them for Han Yi to practice his Ability.

After watching the stars for a while, her eyelids began to droop, but she didn’t feel like sleeping without her brother nearby. She bolstered herself to stand up but felt a “whoosh” of wind in front of her as sand and stones flew up. Han Jiaojiao couldn’t help but close her eyes. When she reopened them, she saw a towering shadow before her, as immense as a rock!

Thick vine-like tentacles danced lightly around Han Jiaojiao’s body. She looked up in shock at the gigantic creature before her, so horrified that she couldn’t utter a word!

A low-frequency noise echoed in her ears. The sound seemed to penetrate her brain directly, causing her to frown momentarily. Suddenly, a familiar scene lit up before her eyes, as if this enormous creature had activated some kind of electronic screen. Then more and more images appeared, growing denser and denser, until Han Jiaojiao was surrounded by countless screens flickering with different images!

With so many countless screens, she clearly couldn’t take them all in or, rather, she didn’t even try to look in her shock. Yet, these images, just like the low-frequency sound waves, went straight through her brain!
