The hotel boss quickly picked up the gun and swiftly loaded it. He aimed the gun at her back and got ready to pull the trigger!
However, just as he was about to do so, Chu He had already heard the sound of the pistol being loaded behind her. With an instant somersault, she dodged the bullet track before he could shoot. Not giving him a chance to react, she sprang up from the ground and leaped across the bed, giving his wrist a solid kick so that the pistol flew out of his grip.
Chu He turned around, grabbing his arms and locking them behind his back. Her eyes searched the room but she could not see a strip of cloth. Then decisively, she broke his wrists with two loud cracks!
The hotel boss cried out in pain, his entire body twitching violently.
Chu He ignored his shrieks and reached out to grab his chin. She dislocated his jaw and hurled him aside as she walked towards the driver.
…
A minute later.
The driver’s joints were also dislocated and he was hurled towards the hotel boss. Chu He walked to the two of them and gently rubbed her wrist before coldly saying, “Who are you? Why did you attack me?”
“I… we…”
“Robbery?” Chu He narrowed her eyes dangerously, “Trying to get rid of the evidence afterwards?”
The two of them were so frightened by her terrifying gaze that they did not dare to say another word.
Chu He was not bothered by them. She squatted down, but this action scared the driver so much that he screamed as if he was worried that she would kill them at any time!
“Don’t worry, I won’t kill you.” Chu He took the car keys from the driver and stood up. She picked up her battlefield pack and left.
The two of them looked at each other and broke out in cold sweat!
…
Chu He walked out of the hotel and saw that the car was parked just outside the entrance. Through the rain, she could vaguely see the glow of flames in the distance. That was probably the fallen neutral zone.
She took out the compass and got her bearings before unlocking the car. Then she threw her bag onto the passenger seat, got into the driver’s seat, started the car and drove slowly towards the direction of the fire.
The air was humid with the rain.
Chu He took a can of water from her bag and drank it in one gulp. She opened the window and threw the empty bottle out.
At night, with the heavy rain, visibility was very low, so she drove very slowly.
The area was surrounded by low hills. The grass was sparse and there was mud all around, but there was no one in sight.
On the way, she encountered one or two corpses lying in the middle of the road. Given she was unable to determine whether there was a ditch or a slippery slope on the side, for safety, she drove over them rather than tried to get around them.
After driving for tens of kilometers, she saw a checkpoint. There were many cars parked at the checkpoint as well as a very large tanker. She could vaguely see a few livestock.
Because of the war, many gas stations had been destroyed. Hence, the checkpoint became an important supply station.
Fuel was very cheap here because this land was very rich in oil resources. In the country, it cost six dollars per liter of gasoline. Here, it was only sixty cents, or even a few pieces of bread to exchange for a vat of fuel.
Although oil was very cheap here, food, fruits, and fresh water were extremely expensive.
Especially at a time like this, an apple was priceless.
Chu He drove the car to the checkpoint and used a few fruits and bread to fill a vat of fuel.. She bought some daily necessities and gave some money to pass the checkpoint.
