Chapter 49 -49: Robbed
The vehicle had already entered Qingjiang City, but the road ahead was cluttered with cars haphazardly arranged as if by design,
obscuring their view ahead. They could only rely on Han Yi’s Ability.
Han Yi slightly lifted his eyelids and spoke nonchalantly, “Ram through.”
Their vehicle, modified with military armor, could not only ram through these cars but also crush them without any issue.
After passing this barrier, Xiao Jian continued driving toward the city center. Everyone stopped their jesting and looked grimly at their surroundings. For a major city, it was eerily quiet. There wasn’t a soul on the streets. Everything was in disarray—cars overturned, shop windows shattered, and the ground covered with various debris and patches of dried blood.
This was, after all, the city where they had lived for a long time. To see such a bustling metropolis turn so desolate made everyone’s complexion turn sour.
Xiao Jian drove further into the city for about fifteen minutes; the surroundings were as quiet as a deserted city. As the HUMVEE moved along the empty streets, plastic bags and newspapers on either side of the road fluttered chaotically. The damaged shops resembled menacing black holes, as if monsters could rush out at any moment.
“Brother Han, should we keep moving forward?” Xiao Jian looked around cautiously. Although quiet, the air was tinged with a dangerous scent.
As Han Yi toyed with Han Jiaojiao’s soft hand, without looking up, he replied indifferently, “Turn right after two more intersections. There’s a repair shop there. You guys take Kerry down to pick some repair tools, useful for the road ahead.”
Everyone understood the goal— they couldn’t leave empty-handed.
The HUMVEE continued for a while, and gradually, human voices could be heard from both sides of the road. Looking out of the window, some people were searching the shops along the street. Some were outright stealing food found by others. Others, indifferent, continued scavenging for supplies in the chaotic shops. Xiao Jian deliberately slowed the vehicle so everyone could better observe the situation. Along the way, people also noticed them, and from their expressions, Han Jiaojiao saw alertness, confusion, panic, and envy…
As they approached the repair shop, their vehicle stopped again because two cars were blocking the road completely.
Impatiently, Han Yi raised his eyebrows, and the ahead Xiao Jian said, “There are people in those cars.”
Two people, a man and a woman, got out of one car, both stained with blood.
“What’s the situation?” Yan Xiao stuck his head out of the window and waved at the two, “Hey, could you move aside, please? We need to get through.”
Instead of returning to their vehicle, the two walked over. The man had a sharp, monkey-like face, and the woman looked meek. The man spoke with forced familiarity, “It’s really hot today, mate. Got any water in there? The water here’s contaminated, only good for bathing.”
A bottle of water wasn’t a big request.
Yan Xiao called out to Kerry, who got a bottle of mineral water from the back and handed it to the man.
The sharp-faced man took the water, eyebrows raised, his smirk ambiguous, “You see, this one bottle for me and my girlfriend…heh, it’s a bit insufficient, mate.” He spoke very slowly, glancing into the vehicle. But given the height of their vehicle compared to his stature, he would need to stand on tiptoes to see inside properly.
Hearing this, Yan Xiao knew they were troublemakers. Yet, he wasn’t angered and instead had Kerry hand over another water bottle to the man, his smile now thinly veiled with coldness, “Now, is it enough?”
The man adjusted the water bottle in his hand and nodded towards the car, “Brother, I’ve got a few friends in that car, still not enough to go around.”
At that moment, three men emerged from the other vehicle, each with a grim expression, wielding steel pipes and axes.
In the vehicle, Lu Changyuan furrowed his brows.
Yan Xiao, still without a hint of anger, laughed heartily, “With so many people, two bottles certainly aren’t enough. Hold on, I’ll get you more!”
With that, Yan Xiao pulled out his gun and aimed it directly at the man’s head.
“Now, is it enough, mate?”
As soon as Yan Xiao pulled out the gun, everyone was shocked. The thin, pointed-faced man instantly froze, and the woman beside him, frightened, stepped back several paces and fell to the ground, her hand covering her mouth to silence herself.
The men holding steel pipes and axes, who were standing a bit further away, spoke in a mocking tone, “Who knows if it’s real? Are guns that easy to come by? If you’re sensible, leave the food in the car behind, and the car too!”

Impatiently, Xiao Jian frowned and raised his gun to fire a shot outside!
Bang!
The bullet hit right on the tire of one of the cars, and its body abruptly sank by half.
The thin, pointed-faced man shuddered, his voice trembling as he said, “Bro, calm down…”
“Get lost!” Yan Xiao shouted fiercely.
Xiao Jian started the engine and charged forward!
The crowd scattered in panic, and two small cars were knocked like plastic shells to the sidewalks on either side.
Looking somewhat worried, Han Jiaojiao checked outside the car window and asked, “We’re making quite a commotion. Aren’t we going to wake up the Alien Species?”
With a smile on his face, Yan Xiao turned to her and said, “With the sun so bright today, it’s suicide for the Alien Species to come out.” Under the intense light, the Alien Species were like headless flies losing their sense of direction.
Lu Changyuan appeared indifferent, “If the Alien Species are woken up, it’s their death, not ours.”
In the meantime, they had arrived at the repair shop. Yan Xiao called out and led Bai Kairui and Xiao Jian inside to move stuff, while Lu Changyuan got out of the car and leaned against it, smoking a cigarette.
It looked like they weren’t going to finish anytime soon, and sitting in the car, Han Jiaojiao was bored. She shook Han Yi’s arm, “Brother, shall we take a walk?”
There were many shops nearby. Perhaps they could find something they needed?
Seeing her innocent and charming demeanor, Han Yi couldn’t help but embrace and kiss her. His darling was indeed adorable.
The two of them got out of the car and casually walked around. After visiting a few shops, all were a mess, with shelves toppled and chaos everywhere. Han Jiaojiao gradually lost interest; even if she discovered something useful, she probably wouldn’t take it. They had ample supplies, and it was better to leave these things for those in more need.
Thinking this, she grabbed her brother’s hand, ready to head back to the car. Just then, she heard some strange noises.
Han Jiaojiao couldn’t help but stop in her tracks.
It was a print shop with the door half closed. — There’s merely paper inside a print shop; who would go there searching for supplies? It couldn’t possibly be Alien Species. If there were Alien Species in this district, her brother wouldn’t have allowed Xiao Jian to drive through so openly.
The noise inside the shop grew louder, as if something had been knocked over, followed by a man cursing, mixed with a woman’s angry shouts.
Han Jiaojiao was not one to meddle in other’s business. But the woman’s voice made her think of someone.
Could it be her?…
If it was her—
Han Jiaojiao couldn’t help but take a few steps forward, the cursing from inside the shop growing louder, “Stupid bitch! Ignorant…”
Han Jiaojiao’s expression changed as if she realized something, and suddenly she drew her gun from her waist and ran toward the print shop!
