Chapter 825: A Small Matter

Sofia grabbed the food and stuffed it into her mouth, eating with such haste and ferocity, as if she feared these things would vanish the next second.

He Yuzhu hurriedly said in English, "Eat slowly, slowly..." and quickly unscrewed a bottle of mineral water to hand to her.

Sofia took it and gulped down a few mouthfuls, but ended up choking; she coughed for quite a while, coughing until tears came out. After a long while, she finally felt full.

He Yuzhu took a pair of his own jeans and a plain white shirt out of his backpack and handed them to Sofia.

Although Sofia was very thin, the people here were generally tall, and she was nearly 1.75 meters; she could basically wear He Yuzhu's clothes.

She hugged the clothes and ducked into the Cave, and when she came out a while later, she had changed into clean clothes, and her disheveled hair was tied up; she finally looked like a normal person.

He Yuzhu unscrewed another bottle of mineral water and handed it to Ivan: "Let your sister wash her face."

Sofia looked at the mineral water and felt a bit reluctant to use it.

He Yuzhu said, "I have plenty of this stuff."

Only then did Sofia wash her face clean.

After washing, her true appearance was finally revealed—she was actually a quite pretty girl.

He Yuzhu said, "Let's go, let's leave this place."

Ivan became agitated: "Uncle He, I want to go and bury the bodies of my sister, brother-in-law, and little nephew."

He Yuzhu nodded: "No problem."

He Yuzhu drove for over ten kilometers and arrived at another village.

This village was larger than Ivan's village, and likewise, there were many corpses exposed in the wilderness.

The fire in Ivan's eyes was still burning: "These animals, these heartless things, I must have my revenge."

He Yuzhu helped the siblings bury all seven members of Ivan's sister's family behind a small church.

Ivan gritted his teeth and said, "Uncle He, can you help me?"

He Yuzhu knew what he meant and nodded.

Ivan looked into the distance and shouted: "Damn bastards, I'm going to kill you all!"

He Yuzhu did not try to dissuade him, but calmly said, "Our first step is to gather information and figure out where these people are now."

Ivan nodded.

He Yuzhu started the car overnight, let the siblings sit in the back cargo bed, and drove away from this land of death himself.

No one stopped them during the night, and the journey went very smoothly.

The siblings in the back were probably exhausted; He Yuzhu could hear their snoring from the driver's seat.

When the car had driven more than sixty kilometers, the horizon began to turn white.

Not long after He Yuzhu turned the car onto the main road, two Toyota pickup trucks came speeding after them.

Both vehicles were mounted with a Machine Gun.

Soon, they blocked He Yuzhu's car, one in front and one behind.

A burly white man got out of the car with an AK47 slung over his shoulder.

He shouted loudly: "Everyone get out of the car, routine inspection!"

He Yuzhu quickly got out of the car and raised his hands.

He could actually have easily taken these people out, but he didn't want the siblings to think he was too brutal, so he pretended to be an ordinary person and got out of the car.

He said loudly in English: "Officer, I'm transporting patients; there's nothing else in the car."

The burly white man shouted: "Open the back cargo bed, let us see."

He Yuzhu pretended to smile ingratiatingly: "There are just two injured patients up there."

"Then you still have to get out for an inspection!" The burly white man's tone turned cold, mainly because they saw the siblings' appearance and they looked a bit like Serbs.

He Yuzhu helped Ivan and Sofia out of the car.

At this time, the people from the two pickup trucks all got out, five people in total.

Three people were aiming their AK47s at them, and the other two were likely drivers; they had a Pistol tucked into their waists and also had their hands on their guns, clearly already on alert.

The burly white man suddenly asked: "Are you Serbs?"

Whether it was because Ivan lacked experience or he didn't want to hide his identity, he blurted out: "Yes, we are Serbs."

Originally, when the other side saw they were driving a military vehicle, it hadn't reached the point of killing; they just wanted to see what was in the car and take advantage of them.

But with Ivan's words, it was like poking a hornet's nest.

The three men raised their guns simultaneously, aiming at He Yuzhu, Ivan, and Sofia.

How could He Yuzhu let them fire first? His wrist flicked, and three Flying Knives flew out simultaneously with the sound of tearing wind.

He Yuzhu's current level of Flying Knife skill was not comparable to when he was a teenager; he had practiced it to the point of never missing.

"Puff, puff, puff!" After three sounds, the throats of those three extremists sprayed blood like an opened faucet, "hissing" as it spurted out.

When the two drivers saw their three accomplices fall to the ground at the same time, they immediately drew their Pistols from their waists.

"Puff, puff!" Two more sounds, and the remaining two also each took a Flying Knife in the neck.

They clutched their throats, making "gurgling" sounds, and slowly crouched to the ground.

Ivan and Sofia were both stunned.

At first, they thought they were dead for sure because three people were aiming their guns at them at the same time.

But the scene that followed shocked them even more—He Yuzhu had actually thrown three Flying Knives simultaneously, flying in three different directions, directly hitting the vitals.

Five people, from life to death in no more than five seconds.

Although Sofia and Ivan knew these were bad people, five living human beings had been jumping around just a moment ago, and in the blink of an eye, they had turned into corpses oozing blood; both of them were pale with fright.

He Yuzhu ignored the siblings and stepped forward to check if those people were dead.

Seeing that the burly white man was still struggling, he drew another Flying Knife and plunged it directly into his heart.

He Yuzhu quickly scavenged the two pickup trucks, threw all the weapons onto his own truck, and also stripped the clothes off those people. "You two, hurry up and put these clothes on."

Ivan finally came to his senses at this moment and immediately pulled the blood-stained clothes onto his body.

He Yuzhu said, "Smear some blood on your faces, and in a moment, pretend you were ambushed."

Only then did Sofia truly realize that the man who came with her brother was an extremely formidable character.

Not only could he kill five people in an instant, but he was also both brave and resourceful.

The look in her eyes as she gazed at He Yuzhu changed immediately, filled with awe.

Ivan believed what He Zheng had said even more thoroughly.

Once upon a time, every time He Zheng talked about He Yuzhu, he would say his father was exceptionally formidable and a man who killed without blinking.

Ivan had never believed it, always feeling that He Yuzhu was just an ordinary middle-aged man.

Seeing him today, he discovered that this was simply a god of slaughter possessed.

He Yuzhu started the truck and continued forward. After traveling another forty-plus kilometers, there was another checkpoint ahead, where fifteen or sixteen people were standing.

He Yuzhu stopped the vehicle by the side of the road in advance, let Ivan drive, and climbed into the back of the truck himself.

He took the Light Machine Gun he had gotten from those two pickup trucks into his hands and said, "Ivan, keep driving. This vehicle of ours cannot withstand an inspection; we must charge through."

Ivan was still a bit afraid and asked, "But there are so many of them..."

He Yuzhu said, "You don't need to be afraid; just drive normally. Once my gun fires, you accelerate."

Ivan nodded vigorously.

At this time, Sofia also stood up, leaned close to He Yuzhu, gripped the iron bar of the truck's rear canopy tightly, and said in not-very-fluent English, "He... there are more than ten of them, can we get through?"

He Yuzhu smiled, "Rest assured, it's a small matter."

Only then was Sofia not as nervous. Because she already believed in He Yuzhu in her heart—she felt that since this man could kill five people without even using a gun, and now he was holding a Machine Gun, he was simply invincible under heaven.
