Starting Cultivation in Wasteland-Chapter 634 - 504: No Way Out
Aaron reached out with the mindset of cutting ties,
However, although the other party was somewhat perfunctory, they had explained things clearly.
In the end, the other party even said, whatever you plan to do, consider it carefully, Panda can do whatever we can!
The conversation between the two lasted less than a minute before the other party hung up and left immediately.
Aaron ignored the other party's reaction, threw away his watch, and walked quite a distance absentmindedly.
Then he bought a bottle of wine and some snacks, found a secluded corner of a street, and started eating and drinking.
He ate and drank very slowly, but since he already had the appearance of an old man, eating and drinking slowly wasn't unusual.
As evening approached, he lifted the remaining half bottle of wine and downed it in one go with a "glug, glug."
Placing the bottle on the ground, he stood up, hailed a taxi with a driver, and said, "To the Engineering College."
At this moment, Xiaohu was monitoring his movements.
With Vortex's support, it carried out routine monitoring tasks effortlessly, and Aaron's watch was just one of many side missions.
The one being called was naturally also located, but regrettably, they still used an unregistered number.
The situation on Star No. 4 truly left one speechless.
Particularly aggravating was the fact that this person had an anti-location device on them, allowing Xiaohu to only locate within about one square kilometer, unable to be more precise.
Then it discovered that this one-square-kilometer area was slowly moving, so it informed Qu Jianlei.
"One square kilometer is something," Qu Jianlei said helplessly. This guy was cautious enough but exposed such a flaw.
"When the time comes, we'll just do a detailed screening, but this Aaron..." 𝑓𝘳𝘦𝑒𝑤𝑒𝘣𝘯ℴ𝘷𝘦𝓁.𝑐𝑜𝑚
"I've switched to nearby surveillance," Xiaohu replied seriously, "He seems a bit off."
Qu Jianlei had it switch the surveillance to Vortex, watched for a while, and then let out a soft humph.
"This guy might be making a desperate move, but it doesn't matter. Let Xiang Xue know, come nightfall, I'll handle him first."
The slowness with which the other party ate and drank was understandable; it might very well be their last meal.
Unfortunately, in broad daylight, it's really not possible to take action so openly.
Aaron got in the cab, of course, also detected by Xiaohu.
It then checked the taxi's direction, a bit baffled, "Is it coming for us?"
"Quite bold," Qu Jianlei chuckled disapprovingly, "Hailing a manned taxi, obviously planning to risk it all."
There are many unmanned taxis on Star No. 4, but they require a certain deposit.
Manned taxis don't require a deposit, but they're more expensive, mainly due to the cost of human labor.
He must have transferred his money away; dead people don't need money, but the living still do.
The taxi arrived at the Engineering College, and it was nearly dark.
Aaron settled the fare and got out, arriving at the college gates and greeting the guard, "Please tell Panda someone is looking for him."
"Whoa!" Xiaohu had already switched the surveillance to the guardhouse, unable to help but exclaim, "He's really got the guts to come."
"This kind of mindset is a bit troublesome," Qu Jianlei muttered, "Xiaohu, keep an eye on Xiang Xue."
Speaking of Xiang Xue, she arrived, "The new watch is terrible, just use it for now... What's for dinner today?"
Having not eaten well since returning yesterday, she gobbled down a bunch, expecting Panda to prepare something delicious today.
"Hold on a second," Qu Jianlei replied seriously, "I'll deal with something in a bit, you won't miss out."
"Hurry up," Xiang Xue plopped onto a chair, casually commanding, "Once I'm fed and watered, I have to seek revenge."
Probably because Panda had dragged her down once, now that she was out, she felt increasingly unrestrained with him.
Qu Jianlei thought for a moment and decided to tell her, "Aaron is already at the college gate, looking for me."
Upon hearing this, Xiang Xue was startled for a moment, then burst into anger, "Does he really dare come? Let's go together!"
"Don't joke around!" Qu Jianlei flatly refused, "Your cultivation level is too low, it would affect my performance if you're present."
"I've acquired some good stuff," Xiang Xue took out a Storage Talisman and waved it, speaking proudly, "I can help you."
"Hm?" Qu Jianlei was momentarily stunned, "Wasn't your Storage Talisman taken away?"
Then he realized and nodded slightly, "Your family really does... care about you."
Xiang Xue responded with a very straightforward nod, "That's right, I just got it."
Qu Jianlei was well aware of how Earth Scholar dealt with the Magillen family; back then, he was wondering if this was really her father.
Now it seems, indeed, different cultures lead to different perceptions.
However, he still shook his head, "Those things of yours are meant for saving lives, I don't believe you can get them endlessly."
Xiang Xue was momentarily stunned, clearly understanding the logic, and finally huffed with a bit of frustration, "Are you sure you can handle it?"
Qu Jianlei nodded nonchalantly, "I'm confident, especially if you're not there to distract me, I'd be even more confident!"
"Hmph," Xiang Xue huffed angrily, finally not persisting further.
However, after a moment, she still remarked, "The spoils have to be split in half... give me some."
She was robbed, and she felt terribly frustrated; she had to snatch it back.
"Alright," Qu Jianlei nodded, thinking to himself that the other party had even transferred the money, so what good things could they still have?
Aaron requested to see Panda, but the School Guard Team did not agree initially.
Right now, everyone knew Panda was not to be messed with. Who knows what you're up to?
However, Aaron stated, "Please relay the message, I'm Aaron. If he doesn't agree, I'll just turn around and leave."
Not long after, Qu Jianlei actually came out, riding a motorcycle, without wearing a helmet.
When he reached the college entrance, Aaron was already in an open area about six or seven hundred meters away from the college entrance.
Star No. 4 is vast and sparsely populated, and the Engineering College is in a suburban area, with a lot of undeveloped land around.
Qu Jianlei rode over on his motorcycle and stopped at a distance of over 100 meters from Aaron, with one leg supporting himself.
He turned his head to look at the white-haired old man, impolitely asking, "Are you here to find your death?"
Aaron sighed softly at these words, "I shouldn't have gotten involved in this matter. Is it still possible for me to back out now?"
"Haha," Qu Jianlei chuckled indifferently, "Speaking these words now, I almost suspect you aren't Aaron."
A Superpower Warrior should take life and death lightly, you're A-level now, saying this to me?
Aaron looked at him and spoke faintly, "It's me; I'm here to tell you that my family is innocent."
"And what about Desis' family?" Qu Jianlei replied indifferently, the instigator being himself left behind.
"You covet my things, and even managed to snatch Xiang Xue's Storage Talisman, thinking you're strong, you have the right to be unreasonable, don't you?"
Now you're talking reason with me... can you have some decency?
"Storage Talisman?" Aaron was aghast, those people… really lawless, huh?
He knew very well the greed of those people, but Storage Talisman, is that something an ordinary B-level can own?
Blinded by greed, they could even ignore such dangerous signals, leaving him speechless.
He took a deep breath and spoke slowly, "Let them go, I know what you want, so I've come."
"Alright," Qu Jianlei answered without hesitation, "But you must die."
Aaron reached into his pocket, took out a small button, and looked at Qu Jianlei.
Qu Jianlei didn't move at all, still supporting himself on one leg, not caring about the other party's actions.
"Not unjustly fallen," Aaron sighed heavily, this was his last attempt.
In his heart, he couldn't believe Panda was just a Modified Warrior; it was well hidden.
Suffice to say, he dared to carry seven or eight Storage Talismans with him; could he be an ordinary person?
Moreover, there are rumors that he can suppress A-levels, and even the arrogant Fangcao is very courteous to him.
Being A-level naturally comes with an A-level circle; Fangcao is ranked in Black Rain; how could Aaron not know?
Now seeing this, Panda dares to come alone, doesn't even care about his actions.
Of course, it's impossible to entirely ignore, but his attitude is just so laid-back.
What does this show? It shows the other side has the confidence to control the situation, even if one strikes first, there's confidence to react later.
This kind of confidence cannot be faked; otherwise encountering someone who doesn't believe, it would be catastrophic.
Does Panda need to take such risks? Absolutely unnecessary—bringing in Cheng Qingshan would be enough.
Before coming, Aaron honestly wanted to clash with the other, otherwise it would be really frustrating.
But seeing this scene, he finally gave up... truly angering the other side, couldn't protect his family.
Moreover, he knew even more hidden rumors…
He gave a bitter smile, with a wave of his hand, that button was thrown over 180 meters away.
The sky had turned dark, and the button was so small, it would not be easy to find.
"There's Spiritual Perception… indeed not pretending," Aaron gave another bitter smile.
"What I can tell you, I've recorded all on it, remember, spare my family."
The next moment, his body rapidly swelled up.
Qu Jianlei, seeing the unfavorable situation, sprang out for over 200 meters, "Whoa, so ruthless?"
Before his words fell, a muffled sound rang in the air, and Aaron's body directly broke into pieces, transforming into countless fragments.
This was Qu Jianlei's first time seeing a person self-destructing, the power of an A-level self-destruction was indeed noteworthy.
Fortunately, after springing out over 200 meters, he quickly dodged behind a large tree.
An A-level self-destruction at this distance didn't cause him much harm, but… isn't it prudent to err on the side of caution?
Moreover, getting splattered with blood also doesn't feel great.
Qu Jianlei steadied himself, helplessly shook his head, "If you knew this would happen, why did you start initially?"
No matter how you say it, on the surface, he's just a Modified Warrior, forcing an old A-level to self-destruct, enough to be proud.
