199 Jiang Wu turns superhuman! (1/2)
The escapees who had gone hungry for two days acted as though they were under a spell. When they heard the word ”food,” everyone made a mad dash to Jiang Wu's group.
They had long since noticed this group of people. Although Jiang Wu and her students were on good terms with Ren Xiaosu's group, there was still a separation between them. Didn't the two groups also sit separately while eating?
But they did not understand that Jiang Wu was only trying to be independent so they would not become a burden to Ren Xiaosu's group.
Just as the crowd was about to make a rush for Jiang Wu and her students, Chen Wudi stepped forward to get between them. Since he had been instructed by his master to protect the campsite, he would have to do it even if a million troops descended down on them!
To Chen Wudi, the people in front of him were no longer escapees but heinous demons. From his point of view, their faces had turned to dark, smokey appearances, and their hands and feet had become animalistic claws.
But… before Chen Wudi could get in front of Jiang Wu, he saw her resolutely raise her pistol and shoot it into the crowd.
The people who bounded at her had shocked expressions on their faces. Someone fell to the ground after unexpectedly getting shot, and there was even an incredulous look on his face as he dropped to the ground. After the victim's heart got shot, his blood splattered out from the gunshot wound and stained Jiang Wu's fair cheeks blood red.
However, the students did not feel scared at the sight of this. Rather, they thought the bloodstains resembled plum blossoms in the snow.
The crowd got frightened off after hearing the second gunshot and retreated. Jiang Wu did not lower her pistol and panted heavily, as though dazed.
From the side, Ren Xiaosu watched the scene unfold. This world had even forced someone as nice as Jiang Wu into shooting and killing others?
Xiaoyu walked over and slowly removed the pistol from Jiang Wu's hand. Only then did Jiang Wu come back to her senses. Xiaoyu comforted, ”Everything's going to be fine. Don't worry.”
Ren Xiaosu looked at Jiang Wu and asked, ”Are you scared?”
In the frozen, snowy lands, the flickering, red-orange campfire illuminated Jiang Wu's face very gently. Jiang Wu turned to Ren Xiaosu and said tearfully, ”If I don't descend into the Underworld, who will?”
Ren Xiaosu was surprised to see the bloodstains that had been splattered on Jiang Wu starting to move involuntarily towards her hand. When they finally finished gathering in her hand, a crimson plum blossom was produced. It had formed into a single stalk of a single plum blossom in her hand, the petals of the flower all sharp as knives.
Following, all five plum blossom petals detached from the stalk and started hovering around Jiang Wu as though they were protecting her.
A faint breeze circulated around Jiang Wu as it made her soft hair flutter and come alive.
Ren Xiaosu threw a dry log at Jiang Wu as he had thought of something. The plum blossom petals apparently perceived it and crushed the log into pieces.
This time, it was Ren Xiaosu's turn to be stunned. He had never expected that Jiang Wu would become a superhuman with one shot from a gun.
Her students went over and looked at Jiang Wu happily. When they approached her, the plum blossom petals reattached themselves to the stalk in a way that resembled a bud waiting to bloom.
”Teacher, you've also become a supernatural being,” the students said in elation.
Wang Fugui took out the pistol Ren Xiaosu gave him a long time ago. He looked at the pistol, then at the crowd who was fleeing. He was caught in a dilemma.
Ren Xiaosu snapped at him, ”It has nothing to do with guns or killing others. It happened purely because her willpower has reached a transition point.”
”Then can I reach my transition point as well?” Wang Fugui said with anticipation. Seeing how Wang Dalong kept doubting his family bloodline, Wang Fugui was really eager to prove himself.
