Chapter 108: Chapter 108: Is This Something a Human Can Do?
When frightened, normal people instinctively take a sharp breath, which is why Lu Youming immediately pressed Lu Sheng against himself, covering her mouth and nose.
But as he spoke, inevitably, he breathed in some of the gas, feeling his chest fluctuate unevenly for a moment.
Lu Sheng didn’t know who this person rushing out suddenly was, but it was clear that he was trying to rescue her.
Just then, Lu Sheng heard the sound of breaking glass from the room, followed by the dull thud of a heavy object hitting the ground outside and a man’s scream.
It must have been the bald man, in his panic, smashing the second-floor window and jumping out from there.
In these few seconds, the gas had diluted significantly.
The person relaxed his grip on her, and Lu Sheng was finally able to lift her head to see the person in front of her.
Dressed in a uniform, but clearly not an actual waiter. Standing about 180cm tall, his black, cropped hair slightly obscured his eyes. A mask covered most of his face. His eyes deep like jet, with the mole at the corner particularly striking.
However, Lu Sheng noticed that in just these few seconds, the person in front of her was breathing unusually heavy, as if suddenly finding it hard to breathe, with a fine sweat breaking out across his forehead.
This was not the effect you’d expect from a gas that is meant to disorient.
Lu Sheng looked surprised: "... You have asthma?"
With asthma, to charge into the room and hold her like that. The room was filled with concentrated gas, which could have easily triggered an asthma attack.
Lu Youming did not expect the girl to notice his illness so quickly.
Fortunately, he was wearing a mask and had only inhaled a little of the gas. The young man took a few breaths, his voice still unusually calm: "I’m okay."
Hearing him say he was okay, Lu Sheng asked, "Who is that bald guy?"
"Hu San, a human trafficker, dealing in young girls on the Black Market."
On hearing this, Lu Sheng’s expression turned serious: "I’m going to chase him!"
The girl didn’t hesitate for a second and stepped over the windowsill of the room, jumping directly from the second floor.
Lu Youming’s pupils slightly contracted.
He quickly informed Han Jing and Lan Yu via communicator, telling them to block the other exit of the bar while he also strode with his long legs and followed by jumping from the second floor.
That shot just now hit Hu San.
From where he jumped down and going forward, there were sporadic dark red bloodstains left on the ground.
As Lu Sheng went forward searching, the young man behind her kept up, then directly asked her, "Do you know how to use a gun?"
Lu Sheng nodded her head, and in the next second, the other person tossed a gun to her.
"His subordinates might be around here, keep yourself safe."
Lu Sheng didn’t say anything extra.
She chambered the handgun, with a proficiency that didn’t seem like it was her first time, and then both of them quickly followed the direction indicated by the bloodstains.
THE DEEP’s location was originally in a secluded spot on the outskirts.
Now that it was 10 o’clock at night, it was pitch dark outside. All that could be heard was the rustling of the wind, and the night air carried a hint of danger.
Lu Sheng and Lu Youming chased to a place with a lot of parked cars, and the blood trail suddenly disappeared. Under these circumstances, the vanishing blood trail was clearly not normal.
Sure enough, the next second, the headlights of a car suddenly shone towards them.
Both of their eyes, accustomed to the darkness, were suddenly hit with the glaring white light, reflexively turning their heads away.
And in those few seconds, the luxury car had already started up, charging straight at them!
"Fucking shoot at me!"
"Quick! Run them over!"
The voice came from Hu San.
As Lu Sheng turned around, she saw Hu San clutching his arm in the passenger seat, his face twisted as he cursed at them.
The man at the wheel, whether a subordinate or a driver-bodyguard, looked terrified as he floored the gas pedal under Hu San’s orders.
Hu San definitely was not carrying a gun.
After barely making it here and preparing to flee by car, he saw them chasing after, and in a panic, he decided to try to run them over.
In a place like THE DEEP, someone dying isn’t really anything out of the ordinary. People who come and go here have complicated identities and statuses, and there are no cameras around.
Even if they were killed in a hit-and-run, it couldn’t be traced back to him.
The youngster by his side reacted with lightning speed, pulling Lu Sheng to the side while simultaneously lifting his hand and firing a shot at the car.
The shooting was extremely precise, shattering the windshield on the spot and hitting the driver’s right shoulder.
The man was jolted backward by the impact of the bullet, with shards of glass splintering into his face and blood gushing from his shoulder in an instant.
He wailed in agony, instinctively letting go of the steering wheel, but Hu San slapped him on the head and roared, "Step on the fucking gas for me! Ram them!"
The next second, the man’s left shoulder took another bullet. 𝖓𝔬𝖛𝔭𝔲𝖇.𝔠𝔬𝖒
The car came to a screeching halt with a hiss, tires leaving a mark on the pavement.
This shot was fired by Lu Sheng.
With both shoulders shot, the man’s arms went numb with pain, completely losing control of the steering wheel.
But at this moment, Hu San was at his wits’ end and didn’t care about his underling’s safety at all, snatching the steering wheel and pressing the accelerator to the max.
During the previous dodging maneuver, this car had cornered Lu Sheng and his companion against a dead end.
Behind them was a wall, and on both sides were cars parked very closely together.
Everything happened in the blink of an eye; the car was already hurtling toward them. With such speed and such a short distance, there was no chance for the two to dodge.
To survive, they could only jump onto the car’s hood the moment it was about to collide.
Lu Youming furrowed his brows and cried out, but the scene that unfolded in the next second caused him to widen his eyes.
The moment the car was about to hit, the girl didn’t back away but instead stepped forward.
The usually calm and composed Lu Youming held his breath, his heart skipping a beat.
Then he saw the car come to a sudden stop with a bang.
It wasn’t because the car had hit the girl.
It was because the girl had stopped the speeding car on the spot.
When Han Jing and Lan Yu arrived, they saw through the gaps between the vehicles that Lu Sheng, bending down, had one hand pressed against the hood of a car.
Where her right hand lay, that part of the hood was deeply dented, as if it had absorbed a massive impact.
Quickly after, the car just stalled.
Everyone on the scene was dumbfounded.
Han Jing stood there and blankly said, "Lan Yu... am I seeing things, or am I dreaming? Can you pinch my thigh?"
Even Hu San inside the car nearly had his eyeballs fall out.
What, what kind of monster is this?! How could a human stop a car with the throttle floored on the spot with their bare hands?! Is this even humanly possible??
Silence enveloped the parking area.
Lu Sheng pulled back her hand and stood up straight, then immediately walked over to the passenger side.
With an expressionless face, she opened the car door, pulled the stunned Hu San out, and threw him hard onto the ground.
A fat man who looked to weigh at least 170 to 180 pounds was tossed around like a small object in her hands without any effort.
Hu San still struggled desperately, trying to escape, but the girl swiftly landed a kick on his chest, sending him flying several meters away.
The moment he was kicked, Hu San felt as if all his ribs had cracked at once, and the pain was so severe he couldn’t even speak.
Hu San suddenly regretted cursing at Tu Shan on the screen after he lost his money earlier.
Toe be kicked off the stage by the girl on the first try, and for Tu Shan to still manage to climb back up and continue the contest, that level of physical fitness and professional spirit was truly moving.
Unlike him. It’s no exaggeration to say, he felt that the girl before him could kick him to death with a little more force.
"... Trafficking young girls?"
Lu Sheng squatted in front of the shivering Hu San, grabbed his few tufts of remaining hair, forcing him to lift his head, and coldly said, "... You truly deserve to die."
