Main Character:

Shen Yao

Braving the falling wind and snow, the wedding guests began to hurry back.

Shen Yao had already received a message from the System when they set off.

"Host, Shen Chengyi is truly strong," worthy of the strong remaining strong.

"How much longer do they have?" Shen Yao thinks the System always likes to state facts; Shen Chengyi is of course strong, not everyone can have the chance to start over.

Excluding Shen Yao hitching a ride on the Task System to become a Tasker, for others to want this kind of possibility, who knows how much they would have to pay; moreover, the one Shen Chengyi ran into was Shen Yao.

"If things go smoothly, about two hours," the System gave its own estimate.

Upon hearing this, Shen Yao looked up at the surrounding situation, then stood up and went to the Kitchen.

Two hours, still time; taking out ingredients from the Space and the Refrigerator, bringing out the craftsmanship she had honed during this period, Shen Yao decided to properly reward the three Meritorious Officials who had labored hard for the Home.

"Don't know what Mom will make, definitely delicious," her mom's craftsmanship is superb, everyone who has eaten it says it's good.

Shen Chengyu and Shen Yao can be said to have hearts beating as one; that side had just gotten up and started bustling, this side was already pulling Shen Chengning's hand, unable to stop drooling.

Shen Chengning: ……

Second Sister really is something; sighing helplessly, Shen Chengning raised a hand and patted Shen Chengyu's arm, "There, we still have two hours."

It was snowing outside, the signal was bad, and the Satellite Phone was also cutting in and out.

When they just set off in the morning, the three of Shen Chengning had tried to contact Shen Yao at Home, but unfortunately couldn't get through.

On the road Shen Chengyi was responsible for driving and had no chance; Shen Chengyu and Shen Chengning would occasionally continue trying, during which there was only one brief connection, they hadn't said two sentences before the line went busy and disconnected.

Shen Chengning's expression was somewhat worried, "Don't know if we can get back smoothly."

Hearing this, Shen Chengyu reassured Shen Chengning in turn, "In this weather, who else would be on the road?"

Definitely can get back.

Who knows if it was words becoming prophecy, but not long after Shen Chengyu's words fell, the originally steadily driving car was suddenly slammed with a hard brake.

Two tire tracks were carved in the snow for a long time, and a piercing sound still rang in their ears.

Shen Chengyu subconsciously looked up at Shen Chengyi sitting in the driver's seat, only to see her eldest sister frantically turning the steering wheel, left and right, back and forth.

The car swayed left and right, directly tracing out a serpentine curve.

Unknown how long passed, the car beneath them finally stopped; Shen Chengyu lightly patted Shen Chengning shrunk in her arms, softly soothing that it was okay.

In the quiet space, with the sound of seatbelts unfastening, the car doors were opened.

Shen Chengyi jumped down without a word, Sun Tiantian followed close behind; Leng Wei wanted to chase after but was soothed by Shen Chengyi looking back — there are people in the car, and even more important Crystal Cores, those are all their gains, cannot afford any loss.

"Leng Jie, outside" Shen Chengyu pursed her lips, she seemed to have seen a group of people.

The falling snowflakes blocked the view of those inside the car; Shen Chengyu's position was the back seat corner, there were wooden boards in front used for shielding, so visibility was not great.

Leng Wei's ability is rather special, plus the sensory enhancement brought by ability evolution, she can timely sense some situations outside.

Just like right now they are blocked halfway, no village ahead, no store behind; these masked people's purpose is definitely not simply robbery, most likely it's to kill and silence, destroy corpses and wipe out traces.

"Be careful, when the fight starts later, you two remember to hide."

She may not be able to take care of them properly; when she cannot even look after herself, Shen Chengyu and Shen Chengning can only rely on themselves.

Didn't feel uncomfortable because of Leng Wei's words; after all, both sides are only a cooperative relationship, encountering a life-and-death crisis, one definitely considers oneself first.

Not to mention Leng Wei already said it in advance; even if something really happened, Shen Chengyu would still have to look after Shen Chengning and Shen Chengyi; only when she herself still has strength to spare would she think of the other people in the Team.

Nodding cutely and obediently, Shen Chengyu and Shen Chengning first got their weapons in hand, then each put their backpacks on their chests, and while Leng Wei wasn't paying attention, secretly transferred the things in the backpacks into the Space for safekeeping in advance.

As for the crates placed at their feet, they could only wait until Leng Wei wasn't there or the opponents didn't notice to think of a way; they also couldn't expose themselves for the Crystal Cores.

At the front of the Vehicle, Shen Chengyi expressionlessly stared at the masked people ahead, followed by teammates who had gotten out of the other vehicles.

Zhuo Yuan frowned, "You lot move aside, this is the vehicle returning to the Shelter."

They are also officially registered Ability Users, truly they've eaten bear heart and leopard gall, daring to rob them!

"We're blocking precisely you lot, quite a harvest in Ping City, right.

Brothers aren't the type to wipe out completely either, give us half, we'll let you pass!"

Someone among the masked spoke, opening their mouth to demand half the Crystal Cores, even blacker-hearted than the Official side.

Sun Tiantian was angered into laughter by these shameless people; what do they mean give half and let them leave? It's remote here, and snowing, would they really let them go? Besides, that's half the Crystal Cores, they worked hard for half a month for nothing, truly big talk!

"Scram! Good dogs don't block the way!" Sun Tiantian looks sweet but her temper is top-tier explosive; back then she suffered quite a bit for it, fortunately those who looked for trouble with her were worse off.

Sun Tiantian's words made the masked people across very displeased; although they covered their faces, who is Shen Chengyi? She knows the internal situation of the Shelter too clearly; these people are Shelter people, wanting the mantis to stalk the cicada while the oriole waits behind, heh! Dreaming!

"All old acquaintances, why still hide faces?" Shen Chengyi lightly shook her wrist, purple lightning occasionally flowing from her fingertips.

The Long Blade in her hand was already unsheathed; she only needs to throw it forward to take these people's lives.

"Where did you get the news? And how did you know we're returning today.

Official leaked the news? No, the Official wouldn't be that muddle-headed yet.

Then it's privately inquired news, tsk, colluding with certain people, not afraid of being used as a scapegoat; we're not easy to kill, who knows if you won't get any benefit at all and have to throw your own lives in."

As Shen Chengyi's voice fell, noise appeared in the masked people's ranks; most thought of the possibility Shen Chengyi mentioned, after all the work they do isn't very proper, otherwise why would they be so secretive, hiding their heads and showing their tails.

Sun Tiantian snorted a laugh, "Carefully selling your lives for the people above, not worth it.

If you ask me, just go back and pretend you don't know, at least you can keep your lives; otherwise once we move, you definitely won't escape."

They might suffer losses, but the people in front definitely have to suffer big losses.

Sun Tiantian knows both teams' strength very well; even if there are ambushers hiding around, those people will definitely wait until they move to show themselves; cannon fodder's life and death — how would certain people care, not even as much as the amusing pets kept at Home.

The masked people did not fall apart because of the few sentences from the crowd; thinking about it, it makes sense, they are all people who boarded the pirate ship and can no longer get off.

Even if I really wavered in my heart, how could the blood already stained be washed clean? Better to go down one path to the end, whether life or death, it's all fate.

"Sharp-tongued, but you can only show off at times like this."

"Since you're unwilling to hand over half, fine—I'll settle all of you, and whatever remains belongs to us."

The man at the front of the masked crowd finished speaking and waved his hand, and the people behind him surged forward in a dense mass.

Shen Chengyi and the others, seeing this, wasted no words—some drew weapons, some threw things; in short, both sides moved swiftly, fighting to the death.

The three cars driven back were forced to stop in place; Shen Chengyu and Shen Chengning in the cars were anxious, wanting to rush out to help, but their own people knew their own abilities—their bit of supernatural power thrown out was like scratching an itch, better not to add trouble for Shen Chengyi.

Leng Wei wanted to get out to help; before leaving, she told Shen Chengyu and Shen Chengning that if anything went wrong, drive away quickly, "There's plenty of gasoline here."

It wasn't that they didn't want to let Shen Chengyu and Shen Chengning save them; once it came to that point, they definitely had no way out, and crystal cores could be cheap for anyone but not cheap for the enemy.

Leng Wei suddenly pulled a device from her backpack, then raised her hand and pressed it twice, then stuffed it into the palms of Shen Chengyu and Shen Chengning: "If they come to snatch the crystal cores, don't fight over them—give them to them first, then find a chance to press this button."

The box holding the crystal cores had special settings, like a timed bomb. Once activated, it would destroy the entire box and everything inside, with absolutely no way to resolve it.

This was a box Zhuo Yuan specially developed; just the design cost a lot of points, and only then did they feel safe putting the crystal cores inside.

Leng Wei couldn't possibly take the crystal cores with her when she got out of the car; now the only ones she could entrust on the car were Shen Chengyu and Shen Chengning. Leng Wei was also trying a desperate remedy—what else could she do? She couldn't coldly watch her teammates fight to the death.

Shen Chengyu and Shen Chengning took the remote control Leng Wei handed to the two of them, then watched Leng Wei get out of the car and join the chaotic brawl already going on in front.

"Quick, put it in the space, I'll go to the front," Shen Chengyi carefully put the remote control and the box into the space, then told Shen Chengning to watch the outside and notify her immediately of any movement, then she raised both hands and carefully bent over to crawl forward.

Trying to avoid touching equipment inside the car, Shen Chengyi finally made it to the driver's seat.

Huff.

Wiping the sweat beads from her forehead, Shen Chengyi crouched forward and luckily saw Shen Chengyi fighting her way in and out inside.

From time to time, flashes of lightning flickered, and silver chains rose out of thin air; colorful supernatural powers intertwined into dazzling colors, melting the surrounding snow.

"Third Brother, check the situation behind."

"Second Sister, no one behind."

Everyone is blocked in front; behind them are only two vehicles from their car fleet.

"Let's quietly move this car aside and make room for the truck behind."

In terms of size, a modified truck is definitely more convincing.

Besides, the truck is loaded with tools; the empty space can fit more people. If all else fails, they'll have to abandon the two small cars first and break out relying on the truck.

Shen Chengning worried that moving the car would make noise, and if the people in front noticed, it would be dangerous.

"It won't. It's snowing, visibility outside is poor. Besides, this is the only road back to the Shelter; they definitely care more about Eldest Sister and the others."

In other words, as long as Shen Chengyi, this dangerous figure, is dealt with, the others are no match for the masked people; defeat is only a matter of time.

Shen Chengyi voiced her opinion with her mouth, while her pair of eyes fiercely observed every move in front, wanting to see clearly at the slightest sign of trouble.

The more she watched, the more confident she became—who let Eldest Sister's ability be so strong!

Carefully starting the car beneath her; normally this kind of noise would definitely draw attention, but now everyone was fighting in a chaotic mess, and really not many people cared.

In a field of white vision, as long as the car wasn't lost, moving positions or whatever didn't matter.

Shen Chengyi let out a long sigh of relief, thinking this kind of task really tested psychological endurance; she would need to exercise more in the future.

"Quick, get out of the car."

Waving at Shen Chengning, Shen Chengyi called out in a breathy voice, then slowly opened the car door for her, and they ran toward the back, looking back at every step.

The tire tracks on the ground were all covered by the increasingly large snowflakes, including the exterior of the Black SUV, which was already covered with a thick layer of white clothing.

Repeating the previous operation according to the previous plan, Shen Chengyi moved the car to the side once more, and didn't forget to put the things inside into the space, ensuring that abandoning the car meant only abandoning the car, not the things inside.

Finally, the two climbed onto the truck; the seats here were higher, with a wider view.

Shen Chengyi turned the steering wheel; after making sure there was no problem, the two of them began taking turns watching the fight not far away.

"Oh no, Second Sister," Shen Chengning suddenly grabbed Shen Chengyi's arm.

"Don't be nervous!"

Shen Chengyi grabbed her hand back; then her gaze was firm, she stepped on the accelerator and rushed forward.

The falling snow covered the sound of the engine; Shen Chengyi looked at the people fighting her, who seemed panicked, and suddenly turned around just to see a truck rushing toward them head-on.

Beep beep beep.

Shen Chengyi honked, opened the window, and made hand gestures toward Zhuo Yuan and the others.

The carriage behind was not locked; the ability users could easily jump on with a single leap. As long as they stopped the other masked people who wanted to get on the carriage, they could break out.

As for worrying about tires being punctured, the tires were reinforced. Not to mention whether such thick snow could let the scattered nails work, ordinary nails were completely useless anyway. Besides, these people probably wouldn't dig pits to intercept them. As long as they used the car's momentum to break out, walking back afterward would be no problem.

"Stop it! Stop this vehicle!"

"Quick, don't let them escape!"

"Get on the car, we'll rush out, we can't drag this out with them."

"……"

The two sides wits and courage over this vehicle; Shen Chengyi's accelerator never let up, she stared straight ahead without blinking, and if someone recklessly blocked the front, she simply rammed into them.

After a period of chaos, the truck successfully broke out of the enemy's encirclement.

The person sitting in the carriage knocked on the carriage wall, signaling that it was temporarily safe and they could stop.

Shen Chengyi said in a trembling tone, asking Shen Chengning to help her pull the handbrake: "I, my hands are shaking, I can't stop."

Shen Chengning: ……

She thought Second Sister was truly brave, but it turned out she was just putting on a brave front!
