Chapter 17: Ouroboros

The two were escorted into the car and the first thing that was done was a body search.
The communicator on the wrist was taken off and thrown out the car and the dark-skinned man also instructed the others to take away Song Qinglan’s knives, fist hooks and the likes.
In the twenty-six years of Song Qinglan’s life, this was his first time being tied up in such an undignified manner with a gun pointed to his head. And the key point was that it was buy-one-get-one-free; he had suggested it himself.

Next to him, Ji Yushi was also getting searched.
With slightly furrowed brows, he had both his arms raised as a man checked him from top to bottom. They took away his Diamond Bird, box of medicine and the likes and also found a black and white device about one and a half palm in size.

The dark-skinned man was suspicious, “What is this?”
Ji Yushi, “Game console.”

‘Smack.’ All those things were tossed aside.

Ji Yushi looked over. That small game console was broken into several parts and even the battery rolled out. When he restored his gaze, his clear eyes held no emotions but for some reason the dark-skinned man felt a little uncomfortable. That look of his was a little unnerving.
Song Qinglin felt some pity for the dark-skinned man.

“What are you looking at?! Who knows if there’s a tracker in there?!” The dark-skinned man’s face had completely darkened, and he pushed Ji Yushi back, “Tie this one up too and throw him next to his man!”

This time Ji Yushi also had his arms tied behind his back and was thrown into the corner of the car.
With the two in this predicament, Song Qinglan lowered his head and whispered beside his ear, “Advisor Ji, having fun?”

The masculine voice entered his ears, and his breath could be distinctly felt.
Ji Yushi quivered slightly. He turned back and created some distance between them before whispering back, “I’ll explain it to you later.”
Song Qinglan talked through gritted teeth, “You think I’m asking about that?”
Ji Yushi, “What is it then?”
Song Qinglan: “…….”
Ji Yushi’s beautifully shaped lips gently moved, “Cap Song, homophobia is a sign of a deeply closeted gay. I’m helping you understand yourself better.”

These people probably didn’t have a high level of education. They spent a long time but was still unable to set the spacecar into high-speed mode, so the car wasn’t travelling very fast.
The dark-skinned man was very careful. Once they reached a place, he suddenly called for them to stop: “Those people will definitely come after us. Seal the road here first and then take the other one!”

Three people opened the rear door and jumped out.
Zombies rushed over. Two of them stood guard while the third one acted. He pressed the road closure button on the side of the road, and something appeared from the ground, completely sealing the road.

It was a wire fence.
It was just like the one the car had ran into when they escaped from the bookstore last time.

Song Qinglan looked back. It just happened that Ji Yushi was also looking at him.
The wheel of time turned again and again. The memory of death was just too vivid. The loud noise, the car overturning, the blood on the glass shards and even the scene of Zhou Mingxuan’s head drooping down seemed to replay right in front of them.

It was an unexpected gain.

“Bang!”
The door was closed again and nothing could be seen.

There were some equipment the team had originally left in the car and, with the addition of the Diamond Bird and Shen Mian, their harvest this time was quite impressive.
This group of people didn’t seem to be people from the same place and are at this moment dividing up their spoils.
