Chapter 252: Chapter 252: The Terrifying Superpower User
"Why?" Long Yueze didn’t understand why she had suddenly changed her mind.
Han Jiaojiao didn’t answer him, and, it seemed that because he had just shown a vulnerability, Han Jiaojiao started to guard against him again...
Actually, the reason she was planning to temporarily keep the child was very simple.
Because she wanted to kill Qin Nanyi.
And terminating a pregnancy was very damaging to one’s vitality, and she feared it would take several days to recover, but she, just couldn’t wait... The thought of Qin Nanyi still being alive in this world filled her with such hatred that her blood boiled!——
She wanted to kill Qin Nanyi now! Right now! This instant! She couldn’t wait another minute!
"We’ll stay at Yunan Base for the time being," Han Jiaojiao decided to stay.
Long Yueze was startled, his face showing disapproval, but in the end he said nothing and silently began to prepare for tonight’s stay.
Staying overnight in the outer city was clearly unsafe, with robberies, thefts, and murders happening all the time, but to enter the inner city required a pass, which in turn needed a Crystal Core to exchange for.
Long Yueze didn’t have a Crystal Core, but he did have a pass with the highest authority, which not only allowed him to move in and out of the inner city, but also gave him unrestricted access to some of the base’s important institutions. The pass was provided by Qin Wenhao originally for the convenience of their cooperation, but Long Yueze didn’t plan to take it out. He hoped that Han Jiaojiao would recognize the difficulties and leave Yunan Base as soon as possible.
After all, Qin Xu had just lost his beloved son and was now like a madman, biting anyone he caught! If Qin Xu found out Long Yueze was in Yunan, there’s no telling how he would make trouble... And Han Jiaojiao was definitely not someone he could allow to be discovered by him, she was Han Yi’s sister, and Qin Xu would surely not let her go.
So, he couldn’t let Han Jiaojiao enter the inner city. At least in the outer city, it wasn’t so easy for Qin Xu’s men to find them.
Long Yueze couldn’t explain all the intricacies of the feud to Han Jiaojiao. Once he mentioned Qin Wenhao, it would inevitably lead to Han Yi.
And the very last thing Long Yueze wanted to talk about was Han Yi. Fortunately, up to now, Han Jiaojiao hadn’t mentioned her brother. Long Yueze was curious about what changes had taken place in her memory, but he didn’t dare to touch the subject lightly, lest Han Jiaojiao remembered something and all his efforts were wasted.
He had already made the worst plan that if Han Jiaojiao could never grow close to him, he would only be able to forcefully take her back to Chujiang and brainwash her again...
It seemed, he had to find an opportunity to inform the personnel at the base to arrange several Superpower Users with Mental Hypnosis, just in case.
"We’ll have to make do in the car for the night, it will be a bit cold..." Long Yueze folded down the rear seats, glancing at Han Jiaojiao without a trace.
Han Jiaojiao seemed not to have heard, her eyes constantly looking forward, in the direction of the inner city gates...
——The night fell.
In the cramped space of the car, Long Yueze and Han Jiaojiao each lay in their sleeping bags, neither speaking.
The temperature at night was extremely low, not far from the car, scattered fires burned, punctuated by the crackling sound of the burning material.
Many people dressed in thin clothes huddled by the fire for warmth, occasionally a few glanced in the direction of their car, with the fire casting light on their faces, one could clearly see the envy and greed in their eyes.
Long Yueze watched for a while and spoke up: "You sleep, I’ll keep watch."
With such a group of starved and chilled people nearby, Long Yueze felt that the night was destined to be anything but peaceful. There were only the two of them and Han Jiaojiao, and although there were weapons in the car, if they really got entangled, it would be a big trouble...
Han Jiaojiao murmured a soft "mm-hmm."
Late into the night, just as Long Yueze had predicted, the silhouettes of three or four people stealthily approached their car.
They each held weapons, things like sticks and pieces of iron.
Long Yueze, without a word, picked up a gun and started to load the bullets into the chamber one by one. He wondered whether it was better to fire a warning shot to intimidate them, or to shoot and kill them all directly? 𝓷ℴ𝓿𝓅𝓊𝒷.𝓬𝓸𝓂
While he was weighing which method would bring greater convenience, he noticed that a few more people had gotten up from the fires in the distance.
It seemed they wanted a share of the action.
Long Yueze couldn’t help but frown, sensing trouble.
A snow off-road vehicle packed with supplies, with only a man and a woman on board, was impossible not to attract covetous eyes.
If these refugees swarmed them, even with a gun and bullets, it would be a thorny issue to handle... and with Han Jiaojiao pregnant, he didn’t want to disturb her rest.
Three or four men in front were slowly approaching, while others in the distance were eyeing them hungrily.
Long Yueze cracked open the car door just enough to point out the barrel of his gun.
Click—
Long Yueze turned in astonishment to see Han Jiaojiao opening the door on the other side of the vehicle, and she stepped out!
The three or four men were taken aback to see someone emerge from the car. Some hesitantly stepped back, but upon seeing that the person was a young girl, they regained their courage and continued to surround her in an encircling motion.
Long Yueze internally cursed, about to shoot to aid her when suddenly, Han Jiaojiao made a sweeping arm gesture! A wisp of pale, translucent vapor shot out like a snake!
The leader froze in place, an expression of extreme pain on his face!
His face reddened at a speed visible to the naked eye, his eyes bulging outward! Blood seeped from his ears and nose, and his head swelled like an inflating balloon while his body withered!
It was as if all the blood in his body was being forced into his head, which grew larger and larger, blood streaming from every orifice, his skin shining red from the congestion! And then—
"Bang!— "His head burst open!
Blood and brain splattered on the faces and bodies of the others, who watched Han Jiaojiao in horror before finding their voices—
"Ahhhhhh!!!"
The air filled with the stench of urine; some fainted from overwhelming fear, others scrambled back in retreat.
"A Superpower User... it’s a Superpower User!..."
"... There’s a Superpower User in the car!"
Han Jiaojiao coldly watched them flee, then disdainfully glanced at the headless corpse on the ground, covered her mouth and nose, and turned back into the vehicle.
"Should we... find another place to spend the night?" Long Yueze eyed the corpse outside.
"No need." Han Jiaojiao unfurled her sleeping bag, slid in sideways, and closed her eyes.
Long Yueze couldn’t help but laugh and cry, thinking that Han Jiaojiao’s power had a much more intimidating effect than his gun...
Tonight, they could get a good night’s sleep.
...
Spending the night together in the vehicle, a single man and a woman lay very close in the cramped and enclosed space, each other’s breathing almost audible.
Long Yueze turned to look at Han Jiaojiao’s tranquil sleeping face, finding her even more to his liking now. Her young and tender appearance belied the chilly charm she possessed when killing, and a rose with thorns always seemed more pitiable. It’s just a pity that she remained distant from him.
Thinking this, he felt somewhat reluctant to have a Psychic Ability user erase Han Jiaojiao’s memory again. After all, there was no guarantee what Han Jiaojiao would become after her memories were erased a second time.
Erasing memory was a highly risky experiment within the realm of Psychic Ability, with only about a fifty percent chance of success... If it failed, she might turn into a madwoman or a fool, and the loss of such a lovable girl from this world would be such a pity...
Long Yueze pondered quietly in his heart.
