Global Collapse

Chapter 96 I'm not an unreasonable person either
Of course, because it was just a small wound, it worked so quickly.

If Gu Mian had stabbed Chu Changge in the stomach like that, he estimated that Chu Changge wouldn't have recovered so quickly, and might even have died.

So he did not conduct an experiment involving stabbing someone.

However, in order to compare the effects of Gu Mian's skills, Fatty also cut Chu Changge and then put a band-aid on him. As a result, Chu Changge still has a wound that hasn't scabbed over.

Gu Mian sat in the tent on the roof of the car, observing her skill panel.

The skill 'Excellent Medical Skills' has now been upgraded to level three, increasing the effectiveness of treatments by three times when using medical items.

This can barely be considered a healing skill, although the healing efficiency is a bit slow. But if you level it up to 100, it might be able to heal someone who is about to die to the point of bursting.

Reaching level four requires five attribute points. At his rate of getting three attribute points from five dungeons, he'll probably never reach level one hundred in his lifetime.

Thinking of this, Gu Mian sighed. He guessed that he would acquire other skills in the future, and if he learned something like "resurrection," that would be awesome.

He looked out through the tent and saw the fat man squatting next to the green belt, holding a pot.

It was completely dark.

In previous years, every household would have their lights on on New Year's Eve, the house would be brightly lit, and the Spring Festival Gala would be playing on TV. The constant crackling of firecrackers was enough to give anyone a headache.

If you walk down the street at night, you'll run into people, mostly adults carrying firecrackers, some with chattering children in their new clothes following behind them.

Every now and then, a few huge fireworks would burst into the night sky, making the children cheer and jump for joy. At that time, the ground was covered with the red shells of firecrackers that had been set off, and the air was still filled with the smell of gunpowder.

Even though there are regulations in the city that prohibit the setting off of fireworks and firecrackers, people still find a way to light them whenever they can.

Gu Mian's impression of New Year's Eve was that it was noisy and chaotic, but full of the breath of life. All the lifeless people seemed to come alive during the New Year. Gu Mian would also be infected by this and would suddenly feel like cooking herself a sumptuous New Year's Eve dinner - a table full of instant noodles with different flavors.

Even though the sight of instant noodles would give her a stomachache, Gu Mian could still happily watch the Spring Festival Gala while eating all the different flavors of instant noodles by herself.

Unfortunately, not only was the Spring Festival Gala cancelled this year, but the noisy sound of firecrackers was also gone.

In the past, even when fireworks and firecrackers were banned, people would still openly show off that they had firecrackers at home; but this year is different. No one dares to carry firecrackers out anymore, and there are very few households that even turn on their lights.

The whole world was as if it were dead.

The wind was whistling, and it was rather cold; the air felt chilly when you breathed it in.

The fat man was starting a fire. A small flame rose from the lighter in his hand, which then ignited a dry branch, and a small fire started to burn.

The flame illuminated the surroundings, as if it could reach even places a little further away.

There seemed to be the shadow of something moving in the distance.

Upon seeing this, Gu Mian suddenly climbed down the ladder. The hearse had been modified and fitted with a ladder to make it easier for Gu Mian to climb up and down.

The front of the vehicle had even been meticulously painted by the fat man; as long as the horn above wasn't blaring funeral music, you couldn't tell it was a hearse at all. Gu Mian climbed down from the vehicle, squatted down, and looked at the fat man beside her: "What are you planning to do?"

The fat man began, "Sweet and sour pork, hot and sour shredded potatoes..."

As he said this, he glanced at Gu Mian and said, "In short, our New Year's Eve dinner tonight will be better than the New Year's Eve dinner of most people in the world. It's a meal that everyone else will envy."

As the fat man spoke, he proudly raised his chin, as if he were very proud.

But the good times didn't last long. Gu Mian's next words silenced the fat man who had been holding his chin high: "I think you're not going to be able to cook this meal."

"What the heck?" the fat man asked, somewhat surprised.

Not far away, Chu Changge looked in one direction and touched the band-aid on his hand: "There are people here."

Gu Mian remembers that this place is called Huangming County.

The number of sentry markers given by the Overlord of the World was not large, only four or five. After all, there were not many channels for obtaining information, so it was already quite difficult to mark four or five sentry posts.

Gu Mian was worried that a robber might suddenly appear on the road while he was driving, after all, anything could happen to him given his luck.

Or the road could suddenly collapse while you're driving.

Life didn't seem to make things too difficult for them this time, allowing them to arrive here without any obstacles.

But what's meant to happen will happen, and on this New Year's Eve, they finally encountered the so-called highway robbery.

Not far away, a thin figure was standing on the steps, surrounded by several people eagerly waiting for him.

"Second Brother, three more have entered our circle. Our brothers have blocked the road from both ends, so no matter which way they run, they won't be able to get out."

"Hmm," the short man nodded, then reached out and patted the burly man next to him: "Thanks for your hard work, Ah Xin. But these three have a car, so tell the brothers to be careful."

Ah Xin nodded: "Don't worry, Second Brother, we've set up obstacles. They can't escape even if they have wings. Didn't someone try to rush out in a beat-up van? In the end, they were all killed in the crash."

As he spoke, he glanced in the direction of Gu Mian and the others: "There are only three of them. I think that apart from that big fat guy, the other two are weak and frail. They'll definitely be easy prey for us to intercept."

Hearing this, the second brother nodded slightly: "Even if they obediently stop, don't leave them a way out. Don't let them go just because you feel sorry for them. You know how things are in this world now; if you leave behind an enemy, the consequences could be unimaginable."

"Don't underestimate them just because they're weak now. If we encounter them again in the future, and they're stronger than you then, they'll definitely kill us all. So we need to eliminate them now while they're still powerless to retaliate."

"Don't worry, Second Brother," Ah Xin said. "The brothers are all sensible. There are plenty of pitiful people out there, and a few more won't make a difference. We won't let these three go just because we think they're obedient."

The second brother then said with satisfaction, "If they're obedient, then give them a quick death. We're not unreasonable people."
