Chapter 52 Encountering Carjacking by Thugs? Bulletproof SUV Runs Them Over
"Rules?"
Lin Xingwan chuckled softly, finished up her work, and casually patted the frost off her hazmat suit.
"Boss Huo, on my turf, I am the rules."
She glanced toward the end of the passage, which was already illuminated as bright as day by glaring xenon headlights.
"Let's go out and meet this 'Black Dragon Gang'."
The two walked out of the underground cold storage and got into the armored off-road vehicle, which resembled a steel behemoth.
Lin Xingwan sat in the driver's seat and skillfully started the engine.
The V8 engine let out a low growl.
The front of the car had just poked out of the underground passage.
Outside, the people of the Black Dragon Gang had already set up their formation.
The bald Scarface leading them was sitting on the hood of a heavily modified pickup truck.
He held a homemade double-barreled shotgun in his hand, with half a cigar dangling from his mouth.
When he saw Lin Xingwan's top-tier off-road vehicle—completely welded with anti-collision steel plates and fitted with bulletproof glass windows—
an extremely greedy green light instantly erupted in his bloodshot eyes, which were strained from the high temperature.
This car was practically a mobile fortress in The Apocalypse!
"Stop the car! Stop the car for me right now!"
Scarface roared excitedly, waving the shotgun in his hand.
"Brothers! Block the road completely for me!"
No sooner had he spoken.
Several gang lackeys immediately pulled up a spiked tire-shredding iron net, stretching it across the gate's only exit.
Two heavy trucks also drove over horizontally, completely blocking off any path of retreat.
Lin Xingwan slowed down and stopped the car ten meters away from the iron net.
"Listen up, people in the car!"
Scarface held a megaphone and shouted arrogantly, spit flying everywhere.
"Now, get the hell out of the car obediently!"
"Hand over the car keys, and leave behind all the supplies you scavenged from the basement!"
He squinted, faintly catching sight of Lin Xingwan's figure in the driver's seat through the front windshield.
Although she was wearing a hazmat suit, her figure looked top-tier no matter how one looked at it.
"Also, leave that female driver behind to help the brothers blow off some steam!"
"Hahaha!"
The surrounding gang members burst into a fit of extremely vulgar laughter.
Inside the car, the air pressure instantly dropped to freezing point.
The moment Huo Yuan heard the words "leave that female driver behind," his gaze turned cold as frost.
The violence and killing intent in his bones surged frantically like an erupting volcano.
They dared to touch his woman?
They were looking for death!
He grabbed the heavy assault rifle resting between the front seats and pushed open the car door.
"I'll go down and deal with it."
There wasn't a trace of warmth in Huo Yuan's voice, as if he were discussing how to crush a pack of ants.
"Wait."
But Lin Xingwan suddenly reached out and pressed down on his arm.
Huo Yuan looked back, his brow furrowing slightly.
"What? Feeling soft-hearted?"
"Soft-hearted?"
Lin Xingwan looked as if she had heard a joke, a cruel sneer curling at the corner of her lips.
"I just think that using bullets on this trash is letting them off too easily."
Through the bulletproof glass, she looked at the thugs outside who were still laughing arrogantly.
There was not a single shred of pity in her eyes.
"Besides, my car was just modified. I haven't tested its actual combat power yet."
Lin Xingwan withdrew her hand and gripped the steering wheel tightly again.
"Hold on tight."
She uttered the two words calmly.
Huo Yuan's eyes narrowed as he instantly understood her meaning.
Instead of objecting, he threw the gun in his hand back onto the seat and buckled his seatbelt.
A hint of fanatical excitement flashed in his eyes.
"Vroom—!"
The roar of the engine instantly went up an octave!
Not only did Lin Xingwan not step on the brakes,
but she slammed the accelerator all the way to the floor while simultaneously pressing the red nitrous boost button next to the steering wheel!
"Sssss—!"
Two plumes of white nitrous oxide sprayed from the rear of the car!
The armored off-road vehicle, weighing several tons, was like a black cannonball shot from a barrel!
Carrying a terrifying momentum that could topple mountains and overturn seas, it crashed forward!
"Holy shit! She's crazy! Shoot! Shoot quickly!"
The lecherous grin on Scarface's face instantly froze, and he was scared out of his wits.
He raised his shotgun and fired wildly at the armored vehicle.
"Bang! Bang bang!"
The bullets hit the bulletproof glass and heavy armored steel plates, leaving not even a white mark, aside from kicking up a few sparks.
The ten-meter distance was crossed in the blink of an eye.
"Crack!"
In front of the wide, specially-made tracks, the spiked tire-shredding iron net was like a fragile spiderweb, instantly crushed to pieces!
Without slowing down in the slightest, the off-road vehicle crashed straight into the heavy truck blocking the middle of the road!
"Ah—! Run!"
The few gang members blocking the way in front of the truck screamed in terror and turned to run.
But it was already too late.
"Boom—!"
A horrific, deafening sound of metal colliding rang out!
The exaggerated anti-collision spikes on the front of the armored car pierced viciously into the side of the truck like cutting through tofu!
The massive impact directly flipped the heavy truck onto its side, forcefully tearing open a gap in the blockade!
"Crunch! Splat!"
The teeth-grating sound of crushing bones and the sickening squelch of squeezing flesh rang out one after another from beneath the car.
Those few gang members who failed to escape were run over alive by the multi-ton tracked tires!
Blood instantly stained the scorching asphalt road red.
Shrill screams echoed in the night sky, resembling a living hell.
Scarface was blown away by the shockwave of the overturning truck, crashing heavily onto the ground.
Covered in blood, he looked at the grim reaper-like armored vehicle in terror.
"A monster... It's simply a monster..."
Lin Xingwan did not stop for a single second.
The off-road vehicle rolled over the debris, roaring out of the gates of the Fresh Food Distribution Center with unstoppable dominance.
It sped away.
Inside the car, it was terrifyingly quiet.
There was only the roar of the engine and the faint hum of the air conditioner.
Lin Xingwan held the steering wheel steadily with both hands, her eyes as calm as a pool of stagnant water.
She glanced at the rearview mirror.
In the rearview mirror, those thugs who had been crushed into mincemeat would soon turn into a pool of shriveled, rotting flesh under the sixty-five-degree heat.
She didn't even blink.
Her heart didn't even speed up by half a beat.
In The Apocalypse, kindness to the enemy was cruelty to oneself.
To survive, one had to be more ruthless, more vicious, and more unscrupulous than this gang of thugs!
Huo Yuan turned his head.
His gaze locked tightly onto Lin Xingwan's cold profile.
The dim light in the car fell on her face, outlining an extreme, blood-scented beauty.
He had seen countless ruthless outlaws who killed without blinking.
But there had never been anyone like Lin Xingwan, who could remain so elegant and calm after killing.
At this moment, Huo Yuan's heart beat wildly out of control.
"Thump! Thump!"
It wasn't because of fear.
But because of an extreme excitement of finding a kindred spirit, and a crazy addiction that ran deep into his bones.
"Wanwan."
Huo Yuan's voice was terribly hoarse. He suddenly reached out, crossing the center console.
He grabbed Lin Xingwan's chin, forcing her to turn her head and look at him.
"What were you thinking when you ran them over just now?"
Lin Xingwan was forced to meet his aggressive, wolf-like eyes.
Instead of avoiding his gaze, she raised an eyebrow and curved her lips into a provocative smile.
"I was thinking..."
She leaned in a bit closer, her breath like orchids.
"If I hadn't brought you out tonight, would these few insects have ruined my mood for stocking up?"
