Chapter 60

The human body's function has limits. Seeing Seeing Ning Zhe might be able to kill the gun-wielding security captain one-on-one, and also rely on feigning weakness to ambush and kill two gas station employees in succession, but if he faced more than 3 armed adult males head-on, even if Mike Tyson came, it would be a certain-death situation.

Not to mention that one of them had a gun, although it looked like just a crude black-powder homemade shotgun.

"Young man, where did you run out from?" The gas station boss looked at Seeing Seeing Ning Zhe somewhat confused: "Where is Boss Zhang?"

"Huh?" Seeing Seeing Ning Zhe was somewhat surprised. The other party's reaction exceeded his expectations; they not only had reason, they could even communicate, and seemed not to know that he was 'Zhang Yangxu'.

The gas station boss raised the homemade shotgun in his hand, the muzzle pointing at Bai Zhi, who was held in Seeing Seeing Ning Zhe's arms: "Never mind if you don't say it. Move aside, young man. Guns don't have eyes; don't get hurt later."

"You want to kill her?" Seeing Seeing Ning Zhe frowned: "Not kill me?"

"What for killing you?" The gas station boss looked even more confused than him: "Aren't you Old Ning's grandson? The old man treasures you so much; you even peed on my leg when you were little... You weren't old enough to remember that then. We are all townspeople. Why are you not going home today and coming to my place instead?"

"No, I remember, I just feel strange..." Seeing Seeing Ning Zhe put down the short spear in his hand, his thoughts mixed.

The people in the gas station hadn't lost their reason, nor had they fallen into madness or been brainwashed; the people were still those people, their expressions natural, their language fluent, and their communication didn't show any logical confusion.

They were all normal people.

They just wanted to kill Bai Zhi.

"Can you tell me why you want to kill her?" Seeing Seeing Ning Zhe asked.

The employees around the boss looked at each other, all blank: "To tell the truth, we don't know either... The little girl looks pitiful and quite likable, but I don't know why, we just want to kill her."

"Especially, especially want to." The employee beside the boss raised the machete in his hand: "Brother, put her down. This girl must die today."

The boss also said: "Young man, you go. I've known your grandfather for decades. Just don't talk about what happened today. It's fine. We must do this today."

"... Fine."

Seeing Seeing Ning Zhe nodded, threw Bai Zhi into the bushes in the green belt, and the muzzles and spearheads in everyone's hands turned toward that direction immediately.

At the same time, a nimble black shadow fluttered its wings and rushed over.

'Luan Feng Shen Xing' (Wind-Catching Divine Movement), magpie piercing branches. When Seeing Seeing Ning Zhe's body was about to hit the boss's face, it instantly turned back into his own appearance. His hard knee borrowed the kinetic energy of the dash and hit between his legs. The boss's body fell to the ground immediately, his hands holding the homemade shotgun loosened, and it fell into Seeing Seeing Ning Zhe's hands.

Without the slightest hesitation, Seeing Seeing Ning Zhe turned the muzzle and pressed it against the boss's head. A gunshot smeared the pungent gunpowder smoke into the silent night.

At the same time the gunshot rang out, Seeing Seeing Ning Zhe's figure turned into a black and white magpie again, dodging the wild boar spear stabbed at him by the employee who had reacted. But the time the magpie state could be maintained was only a few seconds. The next moment, Seeing Seeing Ning Zhe's hands gripped the spear shaft, stabbing the rusty spear tip into his chest, prying it upward, breaking the ribs, and warm blood sprayed onto his face.

The blade of the machete fell, but it couldn't cut open the black and white wings.

Bai Zhi, who had been thrown into the green belt, dragged her dizzy consciousness and climbed up with difficulty. That gunshot just now woke her up from her sleepiness. With her whole body limp and sore, she raised her head from the bushes and saw the platform in front of the gas station covered with bloody corpses.

The only person who hadn't breathed his last was curled up on the ground, stepped on by Seeing Seeing Ning Zhe, struggling painfully, his limbs seemingly all broken or dislocated.

Seeing Seeing Ning Zhe bent down to pick up the homemade shotgun that had fallen to the ground, pushed the paper-cased shotgun shell that had burned after the explosion out of the chamber, and filled it with ammunition searched from the gas station boss's body. His cold and ruthless face was covered with blood splashes on one side, like a fierce evil ghost crawling out of hell. Click—

The boss's own face had already been blown to pieces by the handmade steel ball shells fired at close range.

After confirming there was no one around, Seeing Seeing Ning Zhe carried the shotgun and came to the side of the green belt, hugged Bai Zhi out from inside, and walked toward the convenience store in the gas station.

"Seeing Seeing Ning Zhe... did you kill them all?" Bai Zhi asked, panting.

"No, left one alive. I have something to ask him." Seeing Seeing Ning Zhe's voice remained calm, his dead, lifeless eyes like a pool of stagnant water, not producing any ripples due to the slaughter just now.

"They put mercury in the exhaust fan of the ventilation port. The colorless and odorless mercury vapor filled the room. You have mercury poisoning."

Seeing Seeing Ning Zhe placed Bai Zhi on the rattan chair at the entrance of the convenience store, carried the gun into the store for a 'zero-dollar purchase' of a bottle of mineral water and a box of milk, returned to Bai Zhi, lifted her chin, unscrewed the cap, and poured the water directly into her mouth.

"Don't swallow, rinse your mouth and spit it out."

"Mm..."

After rinsing her mouth, Seeing Seeing Ning Zhe used mineral water to wash Bai Zhi's eyes and nose, and poured a box of milk into her.

"Listen, for mercury poisoning to show such obvious symptoms in a short time, it means the mercury concentration in that room was very, very high. You inhaled a large amount of mercury vapor in a short time, showing acute poisoning symptoms. And I'm not a medical student, and there's no pharmacy on the highway. The first-aid measures I know are very limited. All I can do is this."

"Next, you will very likely die. Even if you don't die, your body will suffer irreversible permanent damage."

Seeing Seeing Ning Zhe spoke very fast, but Bai Zhi seemed unable to focus on listening to him anymore. Her body convulsed slightly, her eyes rolled back, and the blood splashed on her dress emitted a fishy, sweet smell. The skin on her shoulders and calves, which were exposed, broke out in a patch of red.

"Damn, what the hell..." Seeing Seeing Ning Zhe hugged Bai Zhi, whose consciousness was blurred, off the rattan chair, laid her down against the wall, and then used a knife to cut open her clothes, taking off the entire dress until only her underwear remained. The originally fair and tender skin on her body had already developed large patches of red rashes similar to allergies.

Seeing Seeing Ning Zhe poured the remaining half bottle of mineral water on her neck, and then carried a bucket of barreled water from the convenience store, pouring it over Bai Zhi's head and face.

"Seeing Seeing Ning Zhe... will I, will I die?"

"High probability, I'll do my best and leave the rest to fate," Seeing Seeing Ning Zhe said indifferently, tucking Bai Zhi's wet hair behind her ears: "What about you? Do you think you will die?"

"I don't think so..." Bai Zhi raised her head with difficulty, showing him a pale, weak smile: "We've only known each other for a day."

"Whether we know each other has no necessary connection to whether you die or not. I think you've already started to become mentally confused." Seeing Seeing Ning Zhe poured the remaining barreled water on Bai Zhi's exposed skin, hugged her limp body again, and walked into the gas station to find a sofa to put her down.

All the things that should be done had been done. He was prepared to watch Bai Zhi breathe her last before him, but when Seeing Seeing Ning Zhe came back with a bath towel from the bathroom, unexpectedly, Bai Zhi's body was no longer convulsing, and the redness and swelling on her skin had already subsided.

Sticking his palm to her back to test, he found that the originally rapid heartbeat had also calmed down, beating freshly and powerfully—the reason he didn't test from the front of the chest was not because Seeing Seeing Ning Zhe was how much of a gentleman, but because Bai Zhi's figure was the same as her mother's, belonging to the plump type that is especially good at hiding material, and the two thick masses hanging on her chest would somewhat hinder the operation.

"Really didn't die?" Seeing Seeing Ning Zhe withdrew his hand. This scene, which could be called a medical miracle, made Seeing Seeing Ning Zhe look at Bai Zhi with admiration.
