What he was most afraid of was that the air would suddenly turn quiet.
Xu Taiping quickly took a sip of his tea, found a reason to leave Zhou Ziyun's house.
He didn't know why, but every time he saw Zhou Qianyun, Xu Taiping's mind would be a little slow. Normally, he would have a lot to talk about with anyone, but in front of Zhou Qianyun, Xu Taiping didn't know what to talk about.
Talk about the past? Since it was already past, what was the point in talking about him?
Talking about the future? Xu Taiping hadn't had much contact with Zhou Qianyun in more than ten years, what future could he possibly have to talk to her about?
Now? Now that Xu Taiping had two girlfriends and a bosom friend like Su Xiangzi, how could Xu Taiping chat with him?
Embarrassment was something to be embarrassed about. Reading the first note of the word, it meant that there was nothing to talk about. It was just like Xu Taiping.
The days passed one by one. To the people of Crimson Flame Town, the matter of Xu Taiping bringing them to attack the people of this town seemed to have happened yesterday. But in the blink of an eye, it was New Year's Eve.
Zhou Xiao Yu brought all of Xu Taiping's men and left Crimson Flame Town the day before yesterday.
There were only people left in the entire town, so no outsiders could be seen.
Not far from Crimson Flame Town, the scenery was completely silent. In the dense forest, Sun Zhengyi and the others were walking forward with great difficulty.
"Fellow villagers, are you sure you want to leave this place?" Sun Yiyi asked the person leading the way.
The one leading the way wasn't Sun Jie Yu's car, but a farmer from Crimson Flame Town. His name was Zhou Jie Qiang, and he was in his forties. His family lived in the scenic area.
A few years ago, when the scenic area was decided to be developed, a portion of the people living there had moved to the town, but Zhou Jie Qiang was an exception. He continued to live in the scenic area, and the government did not force him to move out, so after so many years, Zhou Jie Qiang and his wife and children were quite comfortable in the scenic area.
"This path is the right one!" Zhou Jie Qiang nodded and said, "We're almost there!"
"We've been walking for an entire day, and we're almost there?" Sun Zhengyi said with dissatisfaction.
"It's coming, believe me!" Zhou Jie Qiang said seriously.
After walking for about half an hour, Zhou Jie Qiang suddenly stopped and pointed to a distant mountain wall, saying, "Do you see that? In the middle of this mountain wall, there is a Chongming Flower, that place is too steep and it slides. If I don't go, you can see for yourself how you're going."
Sun Zhengyi and company raised their heads to look at the mountain wall.
This was a gigantic mountain wall with a height of around a hundred meters. At the center of the mountain wall, a blue flower was faintly discernible.
"It's really Chong Ming Hua!" Sun Jie said excitedly, "It's the same as what the records say."
"Then let's begin!" As he spoke, a person beside Sun Jie put down his backpack and took out a drone from his backpack.
It was a modified drone, with a pair of scissors attached to its surface. Beneath the scissors was a small basket.
After the drone was taken out, another person beside it took out a control device.
Not long after, the drone flew into the sky and was controlled by someone to fly to a location in the middle of the mountain.
"What is this thing? It's so amazing!" Zhou Jie asked.
"UAV." Sun Yat-sen said.
"UAV? Impressive, with this thing, it'll be much easier for me to pick things in the future. "How much is it?" Zhou Jie asked.
"The one we're using, along with the modification fee, is around a hundred thousand!" Sun Yat-sen said.
"Oh my gosh, 100,000 yuan, I'll crawl on my own then!" Zhou Jie Qiang shook his head.
Not long after that, Sun Yiyi controlled the drone to pick the blue flower.
"Chongming Flower, tsk tsk tsk, this is the legendary Chongming Flower!" As he held the blue flower in his hand, his face was filled with admiration.
"Alright, you can pay the rest now, right?" Zhou Jie said while rubbing his fingers.
"Of course you can!" Sun Jie smiled and nodded. He reached his hand into his pocket and pulled out a gun with a silencer. He pointed it at Zhou Jiexi.
"You, what are you doing?!" Zhou Jie Qiang asked in horror.
"The rest of the money, we'll burn it for you." With an evil grin on his face, he pulled the trigger.
With a loud bang, Zhou Jie Qiang's head was smashed through, and he fell to the ground dead.
"Anyone who knows about Chong Ming Hua will die." Sun Zhengyi said to his subordinates, "Go and kill this person's wife and children in a while."
"Un, let's go back!" A person beside him said.
A few of them packed their things and headed out of the mountain while Zhou Jie Qiang's corpse lay there on the ground. In such a deep forest, if no one came looking for him, no one would find it for the rest of their lives.
Today was New Year's Eve, so Xu Taiping and his team finally decided to leave home and go to the scenic area for a bit.
Although this Immortal Mountain scenic area wasn't a 5A grade scenic area, it was 3A at the very least. Moreover, there was a vast expanse of primal forests, so walking around in the mountains was still not bad.
Xu Taiping and his group arrived at the entrance of the scenic area in a car early in the morning and bought tickets to enter the scenic area.
There were quite a few wooden gangways built in the scenic area, allowing one to walk very deep.
"When I was young and had nothing to do, I liked to come here and play." Xu Taiping and the girls walked while talking about his past.
For Emma and Song, who grew up in a big city, many of the things in the mountain were new.
They kept walking along the boardwalk, and by noon they had reached the end of the boardwalk.
"Why didn't I meet anyone along the way?" Xia Jinxuan asked doubtfully.
"It's already the age of thirty. Everyone is busy at home, who wants to come play in the scenic area? And people like us who have nothing better to do will come! " Xu Taiping said with a smile.
"Then let's go back and clean up our house in the afternoon. It's a happy New Year's Eve!" Xia Jinxuan said.
"Sure!" Xu Taiping nodded. Just as he turned around and was about to leave, a rustling sound came from the forest not too far away.
"What is it?!" Emma asked nervously.
"It's probably a wild boar. With such a big commotion, don't be in a hurry to leave. Let's keep watching!" Xu Taiping said with a smile.
Sasha's voice was getting closer and closer. Xu Taiping could even hear her footsteps.
However, to Xu Taiping, these footsteps sounded very noisy. They didn't seem like the footsteps of any animal, but rather the footsteps of many people running at top speed.
"Someone is running towards us!" Guan He said, and she also heard the sound of footsteps.
Just as Guan He finished speaking, a figure rushed out from the bushes in front of them.
This was a fifteen to sixteen year old child. The child's face was slow and frightened, and one of his arms was bleeding.
"What's wrong?!" Xu Taiping looked at the child and asked.
Seeing so many people on Xu Taiping's side, the child ran towards him while shouting, "Help! Someone's trying to kill me!"
Just as the child finished his sentence, two figures rushed out of the bushes right behind the child.
The two men wore black suits and sunglasses.
It was strange to be dressed like this in the jungle, and one of the two was holding a gun.
Bang!
With a gunshot, the child who was running towards Xu Taiping took a shot and fell to the ground. Then, Xu Taiping saw the man with the gun pointing the gun at him.
Xu Taiping's terrifying reaction speed was immediately displayed. Without waiting for him to shoot, he put his hand on his waist, and then threw it forward.
A throwing knife flew straight towards the person holding the spear.
Puff! Before the man had pulled the trigger, Xu Taiping's knife had already pierced into his wrist.
The man withdrew his hand in pain. At the same time, Xu Taiping rushed forward. He raised his hand and grabbed the man's arm with the gun. Then, he suddenly bent backwards.
Crack * The man's hand was broken by Xu Taiping, and then there was another gunshot.
The companion next to him who was about to attack Xu Taiping immediately fell to the ground.
It turned out that at the same time Xu Taiping broke his opponent's hand, he actually controlled his opponent's gun and used it to kill his companion.
The man whose hand was broken by Xu Taiping screamed in pain, and then he raised his hand and sliced towards the man's neck.
Bang!
The man's body went limp and he fell to the ground.
Xu Taiping ran over to the kid with the spanking and helped him up.
"What's going on?!" Xu Taiping asked.
"They want to kill us! Mommy has already been killed! Please save me! Please save me!" The child cried out in excitement.
"It's alright, I've already knocked them down. Everything is fine now!" Xu Taiping quickly comforted her.
"There are three more left!" cried the child.
"There's more?!" Xu Taiping's pupils constricted as he looked at the women.
Without these women, he could go out and investigate, but he didn't dare to attack when he didn't know their exact location. This would expose them to danger.
"Call the police!" Xu Taiping shouted to the women beside him.
Xia Jinxuan quickly took out her phone and called the police, while Xu Taiping looked around vigilantly.
After a few minutes, no one else appeared.
Xu Taiping frowned. Didn't they say there were three people? What about those three?
