The wind had truly dealt a heavy blow to Plum Blossom Rain this time. The blood seeping from her nostrils and trickling between her fingers was quite a sight to behold, almost frightening. Her pale knuckles stood out starkly against the crimson backdrop, making them all the more striking.
Under Xiao Qiang's stern gaze, the wind reluctantly apologized to Plum Blossom Rain. Then, it helped her examine her injuries... This girl, whether she was feigning distress or genuinely fainting at the sight of blood, remained uncertain.
When Plum Blossom Rain moved her fingers to inspect her own hand closely... Oh... her eyelids twitched and spasmed, and with a sudden flip of her eyelids, she collapsed.
The wind froze, glancing anxiously at Xiao Qiang. They would have to slowly support and settle her down.
Plum Blossom Rain had fainted!
The wind suspected she might be doing this on purpose to elicit sympathy.
Although Xiao Qiang's expression was not particularly pleasant, he still couldn't bring himself to blame her. There was no time for arguments about who was right or wrong! A squad of armed humanoids appeared behind them. Judging by their attire and equipment, they were from the Patrol Team.
The alleyway was right in front of them, and the Patrol Team behind them began firing warning shots while quickening their pace toward them. Each of them wielded an AK402 submachine gun... The gradual decrease in Abnormal Humanoids had been confirmed; it was indeed these Armed Humanoids driving them away.
Xiao Qiang glanced back at the Armed Humanoids from the Patrol Team and immediately felt that his worries were unfounded. They didn’t seem inclined to shoot at them; instead, they followed stealthily, maintaining a distance that was neither too close nor too far.
These Armed Humanoids were essentially high-quality imitations of humans. The wind informed him that these types of Armed Humanoids were highly disciplined and underwent rigorous training. Even in situations where Human Blood resources were severely lacking, they wouldn’t act recklessly for personal gain, which could lead to chaotic incidents.
At this moment, without orders from their superiors, they would not fire upon them indiscriminately. After all, they were rare resources of Human Blood and generally wouldn’t face lethal threats unless absolutely necessary. Only in cases of low-level Abnormal Humanoid riots or when no Armed Humanoids were present could terrifying conflicts arise.
Before reaching the riverbank, they heard the sound of rushing water nearby. Xiao Qiang felt a surge of joy in his heart and thought to himself: Fortune favors me!
What was referred to as a moat was not quite accurate! It flowed along the base of the city toward the area designated by the wind as home. Xiao Qiang roughly estimated that this river was at least 350 meters wide. The current was swift and voluminous, coupled with its advantageous geographical position, making it a formidable barrier against invaders from Area A5.
The riverbank sloped downward gently, constructed with ancient cobblestones forming a dam. This area was also one of the weakest points in Area A5, unlikely to attract the attention of the Humanoid Brain.
Xiao Qiang activated the self-control settings, and the vehicle underwent significant changes that left Feng in awe. The tracks retracted, and modifications were made to the 15mm cannon's electrical system, with two firing devices—one main control box and one backup firing box—remaining unchanged.
The Armed Humanoids were getting closer, and it seemed they intended to capture Xiao Qiang and Feng alive.
"You want to drink my blood? Not a chance!" Xiao Qiang raised his arm and aimed in the direction of the Armed Humanoids, unleashing a barrage of gunfire.
The explosive flames and smoke provided cover for their retreat down the riverbank. As the vehicle continued its automated operation, Feng felt an urgent need to shout out, "Hurry up!" Finally, the wheels slid out to reveal a propeller, completing the assembly. The vehicle's lights flickered with green beams, emitting a series of beeping sounds.
It was incredible. Feng swiftly entered the armored vehicle that was now floating on the river's surface. Behind him, Xiao Qiang cautiously surveyed their surroundings; they were in a dead-end alley leading only to the river.
The Armed Humanoids likely understood this as well, which was why they hadn’t opened fire on them. Perhaps they were complacent, thinking they had trapped their prey.
The armored vehicle transformed into a sleek vessel. Feng was curious and eagerly asked questions without restraint, unbothered by the absence of Plum Blossom Rain.
Xiao Qiang responded with vague answers, his focus entirely on observing the swarm of Armed Humanoids rushing to the riverbank. His gaze followed those humanoids as they scattered along the shore, making a cacophony of noise. To his dismay, they began firing at them as they moved away from the bank.
From a distance, he could see the blue streaks of gunfire from the Armed Humanoids whizzing through the air. Upon touching the hull of the vessel, they merely produced a faint pop before dissipating into nothingness.
With his identity exposed, it would be impossible to brazenly enter and exit the Abnormal Humanoid's lair again. The only solution was to find an antidote that could save those trapped by the Humanoid Brain and uncover the reasons behind the fall of Area A5.
"Tell me about Lin Yu!" Feng suddenly mentioned Lin Yu.
Xiao Qiang withdrew his gaze, momentarily taken aback. "You really want to hear her story?"
Feng nodded with a smile. "Not only do I want to hear it, but I also hope to meet her."
"How should I put it? She's a woman you can't forget after just one glance. Just like when you first caught my eye; it's similar but different—your inner dispositions are worlds apart."
“……” Feng was clever enough to understand what Xiao Qiang meant by "inner beauty," yet she still wanted to know how she measured up to the Lin Yu in his heart. With a slightly sullen expression, she trembled her lips, mustered her courage, and looked up bravely to meet Xiao Qiang's gaze, whispering, “Can you tell me about her?”
“In our world, humans can clone their bodies and mimic appearances. However, a person's inner beauty cannot be replicated. Her temperament, every smile and frown, her words and actions cannot be fabricated or copied.”
Feng lowered her head as a wave of sour disappointment washed over her. It turned out her sister's words were indeed true; that woman occupied all the space in his heart, leaving no room for her…
“Where is she now? Why aren’t you two together?”
Xiao Qiang shook his head, firmly rejecting Feng's probing question. “You’d better stop this desire to find her.”
Being protected by someone is an unparalleled happiness that cannot be described in words. Feng felt jealous… secretly vowing that in her lifetime, she would definitely see what kind of woman Wildfire held in such high regard.
Plum Blossom Rain was still asleep, and Feng reminded Xiao Qiang to pay attention to this woman.
However, he misunderstood her good intentions, thinking that the two had just been at odds in the car and had developed animosity. Thus, he grew increasingly annoyed with Feng…
“Speaking ill of others behind their backs is not good.” Xiao Qiang’s eyes turned cold as he turned away from Feng, no longer willing to engage with her. His thoughts drifted far away to a distant place where his beloved was… What was Lin Yu doing right now?
