Global Collapse

Chapter 97 Flying Kiss
The flames had long been extinguished.

When the fat man realized he was surrounded, he hurriedly extinguished the fire he had worked so hard to start, as if he thought that if he put out the fire, no one would be able to see him.

Moonlight spilled onto the road, and Gu Mian noticed that a figure in the distance seemed to be slowly approaching.

The fat man looked uneasy: "What are you doing in the middle of the night? Are you robbing someone?"

“It’s a real robbery,” Gu Mian glanced at him, “but don’t even think about trying to rob me of my virtue.”

The fat man was clearly very confident in his looks. He first covered his chest, then lowered his hand slightly awkwardly.

Gu Mian glanced at the dark sky, then looked at the fat man beside her: "A dark and windy night is the perfect time for a robbery. To prevent our handsome Fatty Wang from being robbed, let's get in the car and run."

Chu Changge touched his hand: "Okay."

He still had a band-aid on his hand that was half-fallen off, and the cold wind made it sway back and forth.

The fat man was clearly worried: "Have we ended up in someone else's territory? I reckon even if we get in the car and try to escape, we'll be blocked. What if we get stopped?"

This global game has been going on for a little over a month now. In that month, some people must have gone through a lot of dungeons and improved their physical abilities. They may also have powerful weapons or special items in their possession.

Especially for large organizations that commit highway robbery, they must have some confidence to dare to do such things.

The fat man said worriedly, "I reckon there are quite a few people guarding this place. If we get stopped, we're definitely in trouble!"

"Isn't that obvious?" Gu Mian glanced at him.

Where do you find robbers stopping people in the middle of the night just to give them a good outcome?

As Gu Mian spoke, she opened the hearse door: "Let me make this clear first, I'm a delicate nanny. If the car gets blocked, you'll have to rush out to protect me."

Chu Changge pushed up his glasses: "Put your hand on your conscience and say it again, what are you? A weak nanny?"

The fat man also dawdled as he got into the car through the back door: "Yeah, don't let our doctor's cute appearance fool you, he could slap you to death with one big slap..."

At this moment, Gu Mian's saw was lying quietly on the hearse. Of course, it couldn't be quiet unless it grew a mouth.

The night of New Year's Eve was bitterly cold, and there was no heating in the hearse. The fat man shivered, wrapped in his clothes.

Chu Changge sat in the passenger seat and slightly opened the window: "There are quite a few of them. Both sides of this road should be blocked. Moreover, we don't know if they brought out any weapons from the dungeon. We'd better be careful."

The fat man suddenly stuck his head over: "Brother Chu, you're overthinking it. Look at what happened to our doctor. If this were on Qidian, he'd be a perfect protagonist template. Have you ever seen a protagonist on Qidian die from being robbed on the road?"

Chu Changge glanced back at him: "I've never seen a protagonist from Qidian die from being robbed on the road, but I have seen the fat guy next to the protagonist die from being robbed on the road."

The fat man listened in a daze, then cautiously pulled his head back.

Gu Mian remained silent as he drove the hearse along the sidewalk on the steps.

The middle of the road hadn't been cleared yet, so Gu Mian could only drive along the sidewalk on the steps.

The headlights illuminated the road ahead, and the branches of saplings in the roadside green belt occasionally brushed against the car window. Several bicycles that blocked the road appeared from time to time, but they were all run over by the hearse.

After driving a short distance on the sidewalk, the road ahead suddenly became empty.

Driving on steps was not a pleasant experience; everyone's buttocks felt uncomfortable, a little sore and numb.

Seeing that the road ahead was clean, Gu Mian drove directly down the steps and onto the road.

There are few animal calls on the dark winter nights; the noisy chirping of cicadas belongs to summer.

The only sound on the road was the sound of the hearse wheels rolling on the pavement; the silence was eerily quiet.

Of course, if the loudspeaker playing funeral music on top of the hearse were turned on at this moment, the scene would be completely different, but Gu Mian had no intention of listening to the music for the time being, and the other two were not interested in the sad and melodious tune either.

The bright headlights illuminated the road, making the empty street appear somewhat white.

The fat man's face peered through the gap between the driver's and passenger seats, resembling a pale, ghostly mask: "With a scene like this, it would be a waste if someone didn't suddenly appear to rob us on the road?"

Having been engrossed in online novels for years, the fat man knew exactly what kind of story would unfold in this situation. And soon enough, the robbers he had been longing for arrived.

Gu Mian saw a group of figures suddenly appear on the originally empty main road. Some of them were standing in the middle of the road, while others were standing on both sides of the road, and they all seemed to be holding something in their hands.

Upon seeing a car approaching, the people in the middle of the road made a move, and then Gu Mian saw several bright lights in her vision.

They were carrying powerful flashlights.

It's worth mentioning that Gu Mian never travels far from home because he knows that with his luck, traveling far away will definitely not bring anything good.

For example, the plank road collapses while climbing a mountain;

The cable car cable broke while we were riding it.

Encountering robbers while driving.

Gu Mian had seen many news reports about encountering robbers on the road. Although he had never experienced it himself, it was frequently mentioned in the news, so he became quite familiar with it over time.

The robbers mostly lurk on sparsely populated roads, usually after nightfall. It is said that they will suddenly appear in the middle of the road, then shine a bright flashlight on the driver, forcibly stopping the passing vehicle to rob it.

Despite its name, a high-powered flashlight is actually a very dangerous device.

Staring at a flashlight beam for an extended period can even cause temporary blindness, making it an essential piece of equipment for highway robbery.

It seems these highway robbers aren't entirely brainless; they're planning to force passing vehicles to stop with minimal losses.

Gu Mian was still thinking when several beams of bright light shone on his face. This group of people were targeting the driver first.

In the middle of the road, several people were whispering to each other while holding up powerful flashlights.

"Hey Haotian, I don't think it's very safe for us to be standing in the middle of the road. What if the driver just ignores everything and drives right through us?" A slightly overweight man whispered to the tall man next to him.

Haotian shook his head: "Don't worry, with so many flashlights shining in his face, he definitely won't be able to open his eyes, and he'll stop then."

He paused for a moment at this point: "And even though the world is a bit chaotic now, a lot of people are actually quite timid. Even if we stand in the middle, they won't dare to hit us. I heard from my second brother that the driver is a weak and frail doctor. Let alone hitting someone, I doubt he could even kill a chicken."

As he said this, the others saw the cars approaching from a distance indeed begin to slow down.

Hao Tian smiled slightly: "I knew it, people these days are too timid."

At this moment, the fat man was squinting and staring anxiously ahead: "Doctor, why are you stopping?! If you stop, we'll be in big trouble."

Gu Mian freed one hand to cover her eyes: "Their light is too strong. I'll close my eyes and calm down first. I'll go all out in a bit later."

"Go all out in one go?" The fat man was startled by Gu Mian's idiom: "Go all out in one go?"

“Of course, I don’t want to go down and fight them one-on-one.” Gu Mian narrowed her eyes again.

At this moment, the people on the road were already rushing towards them, gradually forming an encirclement.

Haotian smugly shone his flashlight on the windshield: "I told you, the driver wouldn't even dare to kill a chicken. He wouldn't dare to drive forward when he saw us from a great distance."

As he spoke, he glanced at the white car slowly slowing down ahead.

But in that short time, Haotian suddenly noticed that the car was accelerating wildly and rushing towards him without any regard for safety.

This is not quite what he imagined!
"Holy crap! What kind of driver is this? Doesn't he know that hitting someone is illegal?!" Amid the roar of the hearse, Haotian yelled and then frantically lunged to the side.

Gu Mian didn't care what the people below were shouting, and took the opportunity to floor the accelerator.

The people who had been standing straight in the middle of the road scattered almost instantly, and their flashlights fell to the ground because they couldn't hold on to them.

A group of people were scattered on both sides of the road, watching in astonishment as the large white car sped past them. A fat man's head peeked out from the gap in the car window and seemed to have blown a kiss at them.
