If they get back, none of us will live to see another day,” he said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He glanced sideways, “Have the guys with the guns hide. When the truck gets close, greet it with gunfire, and kill them on sight.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The others’ expressions grew stern, and they nodded in agreement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Understood.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The crowd scattered, ducking and hiding behind the protective barriers of the overpass.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And gradually.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The distant truck slowly came to a stop.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It didn’t approach as expected.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Shit, why have they stopped there?” one cursed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“They probably want us to go down there.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Boss swore, “Only idiots would go down to talk to them. Who knows if they’ve got those bone frames inside. We’ll just wait them out, I don’t believe they’ve come all this way just to let the hostages freeze to death.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The rest continued to stay hidden, without making any move.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Inside the truck.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Both could clearly see the scene in the distance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their three men, hung below the overpass, made Qi Hancai’s complexion even more troubled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Right now, it was impossible to tell if they were alive or dead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But dragging this out, they would eventually freeze to death there.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moreover, from the other party’s posture, it didn’t at all seem like they intended to complete a transaction.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the very least, the positions of both parties were blatantly wrong.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They were on high ground, capable of attacking from above, while it would be exceedingly difficult for us to counterattack.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unless we relied on the Skeleton Flying Dragon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Skeleton Army would have to traverse a considerable distance to find an entrance to the overhead bridge.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This… what do we do? They came prepared,” said Qi Hancai.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Don’t worry, just wait!” Wu Heng said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qi Hancai said no more, simply staring ahead to warn Wu Heng in case the enemy made any moves.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a short wait,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>two scouting Ghosts flew back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon entering the body, the images from the overpass and a conversation about approaching and opening fire were shared with them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The fact that the other side had guns was indeed a bit surprising.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There were twelve people with guns in total, the rest were armed with cold weapons.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There were also twelve vehicles, which had been modified in various ways.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After reviewing the information,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>the two Ghosts were released again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wu Heng said, “Try using your power, kill them all.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Glenda immediately flew out, followed by Xiao Xiao, heading toward the overpass.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qi Hancai, who was still watching the distance, thought Wu Heng was speaking to her, pointed at herself and said, “Ah? Me, go kill them?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Not you, you’ll understand soon enough,” Wu Heng responded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qi Hancai continued, “Do you need the Skeletons to come over?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Just wait.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qi Hancai stopped speaking and silently waited.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the overpass,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>there was still no movement from the truck, causing uneasiness among the group.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, lying in ambush on an overpass was no easy task; the wind howled, and one by one they started shivering from the cold.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They quietly discussed what the other party was up to.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Would they come or go, just stalling there.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even if someone came out to interact and confirm each other’s identities, it would be better than this.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just stopping there, what did it mean?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Right then,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>a man with dyed yellow hair suddenly stood up from behind cover.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The abrupt action startled his companions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Damn, why are you standing up?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The yellow-haired man took two rigid steps forward, his face filled with fear, “I—It’s not me, my body’s not under my control.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bang~!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After he finished speaking, he slammed headfirst into the railing, blood splattered everywhere, and he collapsed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The unexpected turn of events left everyone at the scene in shock.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Subsequently, the rifle on the yellow-haired man rose on its own.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The muzzle pointed at someone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the horror-stricken gaze of the target, the safety was clicked off, and the trigger was pulled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bang~!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The gunshot was deafening; the person’s head exploded instantly, and the body fell backwards.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The others quickly came to their senses, terror plastered on their faces.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The boss with a cigarette in his mouth immediately shouted, “It’s an invisible Superpowered Man! Fire at the location of the gun; don’t hurt our own people.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bang bang bang~!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A flurry of bullets blindly fired off.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But those aimed at the ‘invisible Superpowered Man’ struck nothing but air, yielding no reaction or the anticipated signs of blood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Instead, the wild shooting hit many of their own.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meanwhile, the floating rifle began to fire again, killing the enemies nearby.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The aim wasn’t precise, but it didn’t matter when the gun approached so close it was practically faced against a target.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Shit, we’re cursed, damn it!” the leading man cursed, ducking and rushing to a pickup truck.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He closed the door and began starting the vehicle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What kind of people had they provoked?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To have the ability to control a gun out of thin air.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>How were they supposed to fight this?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The vehicle started, and he was about to drive off.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Suddenly, he felt a chilling sensation invading his body, and soon after, his limbs were unresponsive.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His neck began to twist unnaturally, cracking as it turned backward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The overpass grew silent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Two semi-transparent Ghosts also appeared out of midair.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiao Xiao complimented enthusiastically, “Wow, Auntie, you’ve become so powerful.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Glenda replied with a smile, “It’s a new ability I gained yesterday, enhancing the effect of telekinetically holding objects.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“That’s so cool, like a superhero.
