Chapter 127: Initiative

“Someone saw him, a foreigner wearing a trench coat, carrying an umbrella, and acting very secretive!”

Everyone is pleased when they heard the news. Yang Chao clenched his fist, “Very good. We’ve caught up with this guy. We don’t have to chase after him day after day!”

Huo Wei said with a smile, “He probably wanted to find a remote village to hide temporarily, but didn’t expect that there’s no such place in the Southeast coast of China. There are ability holders everywhere, so he can’t completely hide his whereabouts.”

This statement is reasonable. Everyone laughed, the Chinese always have this attitude of making fun of foreigners.

Yang Chao quietly frowned. He has no opinion on Huo Wei, but he knew that Li Fei don’t want to see this young university student. Huo Wei is very positive about everything, and always have a correct attitude, but don’t appear fake.

Yang Chao single-mindedly followed Li Fei in the Abandoned World, so of course, in the face of such a thing, he believed in Li Fei. That’s why he will think that there’s something wrong with Huo Wei.

Once he heard that Huo Wei is a book transmigrator, Yang Chao suddenly understood.

Huo Wei did not deliberately take advantage of this matter. He told others what he knew. The other ability holders have a single view of him, but after conversing with him, the prejudice slowly changed.

Some people think that he’s young, and can’t understand things. Some people think that him being a young person with a strong sense of justice is very annoying. Others feel that Huo Wei is actually a very good person, and all the things he said are reasonable.

Yang Chao felt that Huo Wei is pitiful. Huo Wei often talks about going home, and he looked very depressed every time.

With the departure from Haicheng, and because there’s no Internet, there’s only the oral transmission. Li Fei didn’t have anyone inform him that Huo Wei is coming, so he’s naturally surprised.

The people from Black Abyss felt very complicated, and even Yang Chao himself brought it up, but nothing happened.

Those who have “big ambitions” in their hearts naturally refused to leave the safe Red Dragon base to run out and track an S-class ability holder.

Huo Wei came a few days ago looking for them.

Yang Chao and the others have circled around Dr. Mad for more than a month at that time. They came and went to nearby cities, so it’s not difficult for Huo Wei to catch up.

Huo Wei brought people as young as him. There are also highschool girls. Their strength is considered a pass, and they are all from Black Abyss. Yang Chao is at a loss on how to handle them, not to mention guys like paparazzi Qi, who are rushing to please the girls.

After they came, it seemed like the atmosphere became lively.

Now that there’s conclusive news about Dr. Mad, everyone put aside their depression, and soon felt proud——they won’t participate in the decisive battle between high-order ability holders, so there’s nothing to worry about.

“The man suspected to be Dr. Mad is tall and thin. He looked pretty good, but I don’t know if he’s French or Italian……” Yang Chao came over and described the situation to Li Fei.

“I think he’s British.”

“……”

Facing the subtle eyes of everyone, Huo Wei, who unconsciously interrupted, shrugged, “He had an umbrella, so isn’t he British?”

Although on the day Abandoned World started, it’s a rainy night in Haicheng, many cities in the South are raining. After the time stopped, people who walked outside, even if their face and clothes are affected by the drizzle, this is but a little problem. Most ability holders would not take it seriously. It’s better to have a steel pipe for self-defense rather than an umbrella.

“British, isn’t that nonsense?” Someone refuted.

Dr. Mad’s a guy with an exaggerated style. Why do they think that these words don’t match with someone from England?

“Habit of thinking. Everyone thinks that the British are more old-fashioned, and are gentlemen, just like how foreigners think that all Chinese practice martial arts. In fact, which countries don’t have mainstream people? The more depressing the place, the easier it is to develop ideas. It’s easier to spot a man who behaves out of character, right?” Huo Wei said reasonably.

Yang Chao’s expression is weird. He stopped his eating action; everyone has a baffled expression.

“Oh, I forgot. Everyone here in China is skilled in martial arts. Even if they learned it, it’s not very useful.”

“……”

Everyone looked at each other. There was an instant of interest, just like hearing from book transmigrators that their world have traffic jams all day, and people don’t ride bicycles. A Chinese who can’t even do a split is a bit hard to imagine.

“Most people can’t do a horse stance for five minutes?”

“Then what do you do when you encounter a robber with a knife?”

“Yes, how would you go to your neighbor’s balcony when you forgot your keys? If your skill is bad, won’t you fall to your death……or call 119 to find a firefighter?”

“Don’t you raise cats? Are there no people climbing trees? What if the cat is in a high place and can’t come down, what do you do, poke them with bamboo sticks……or also call 119?”

Yang Chao said with a face implying “the firefighters in your world are too busy”.

Geng Tian also repeatedly shook his head. If there’s no expert, and with no guns in China, more than 90% will die in the Abandoned World since they can’t even run away.

“So a transmigrator like me, unless we grew up here since childhood,  can’t live long.” Huo Wei sighed as he spread his hands, “Last time in the Abandoned World, the people in my team were all killed.”

Someone can’t help but say, “There’s no difference, if they learned poorly, then they can’t escape.”

Kung fu or something is like an ABC test in an English TOEFL exam. There’s an enormous difference.

Most people won’t rely on these skills to eat, so they don’t want to spend money and energy on this. Those who rely upon their skills are the only ones who strived to learn. Bodyguards like Geng Tian, and also Red Dragon members have to be skilled. Jian Hua is a martial arts stuntman, but it’s not a technique that requires life and death to test and hone.

This is also the reason why Jian Hua found it challenging to get a meal. The difficulty of martial arts, for Huo Wei, makes this world very difficult.

“If Dr. Mad is British, I want to see Nania Kaia’s impression of UK.”

“……Poseidon is a European ability holder. If Dr. Mad is British, this guess is very reliable!”

“What reliable? No matter his nationality, he won’t stand with the government, don’t even mention Europe.”

Everyone had a lot of arguments, and Huo Wei managed to blend in with the subject. He always had this ability, let people unknowingly decrease the gap between them.

Li Fei casually listened, not saying a word.

In the next two days, the news about Dr. Mad is getting more and more conclusive. Someone else saw half his face, and they were able to draw a rough sketch.

Regarding looks, they can’t see any signs of madness.

The corner of his mouth pulled downwards, and wrinkles set in deep lines. He’s actually such a serious person.

Yang Chao suspects that they’re looking at the wrong person. A foreign wood system ability holder is not necessarily Dr. Mad. Knowing that they’re tracking a foreign high-order ability holder, it’s normal to hide.

Geng Tian decided there was a trap. This person may be the scapegoat that Dr. Mad recruited.

Everyone is arguing, reluctant to let go of this opportunity.

Anxiety spread among the convoy.

Huo We glanced vaguely at Li Fei in the car. The driver is Geng Tian, so he has no chance to get close.

It’s almost three days since he came here, and he only saw Jian Hua twice, or when the group took a break, Li Fei will hold someone out. Jian Hua had one arm draped around Li Fei’s neck, head resting on Li Fei’s chest.

Because the temperature is cold, Li Fei covered the man with a coat.

Even when he’s sure that the person is Jian Hua, Huo Wei took the time to verify.

There are countless possibilities in his mind. He guessed that Li Fei controlled Jian Hua. As for the words from paparazzi Qi, Huo Wei only believed half of it.

Li Fei may indeed have a relationship with Jian Hua, but he can’t conclude anything. He also saw Jian Hua too little to judge.

That is the Devourer. He won’t even be bothered by a cannibalistic squid.

——Jian Hua may likely die in Li Fei’s bed. The fact that Jian Hua can’t get up is a joke.

Besides, the people in convoy has a tacit understanding that they did it too much, but did someone heard any movement? Not a single one. Huo Wei almost suspected that paparazzi Qi is a confidant of Li Fei, responsible for misleading people.

Since it’s not the case, Jian Hua’s situation is problematic.

Huo Wei observed that the mushrooms around them are very energetic. He also quietly observed Li Fei’s expression and did not find any flaws. If Jian Hua is really sick, Flame Demon will not be so relaxed.

Huo Wei wandered around, his brain full of questions, but dare not reveal it, only endured.

“Li-ge, do you want me to find a reason to take this kid away?” Yang Chao asked while gesturing.

“No need.”

Li Fei didn’t put Huo Wei in his eyes at all.

He knows who Huo Wei’s positive performance is for, the book transmigrator directed it at Jian Hua, like how Lu Zhao wanted to impress on him. But that made Jian Hua uncomfortable, so the others are just like flies.

——if others can easily touch Jian Hua, wouldn’t Li Fei be first place?

The mattress in Li Fei’s villa, all modern, customized, and specially prepared for him.

The so-called advanced customization is tailor-made according to Jian Hua’s body data. This is based on Li Fei’s visual inspection and compared to his own data. Jian Hua is on top of the priorities of the Movie Emperor. You don’t know what things he did to win him over.

“I can figure out Huo Wei’s tricks.”

“That Dr. Mad……”

“Don’t keep it too tight. No matter what trap he has, as long as we don’t go, he will be anxious.”

Like how the stage is set up, and the actors have finished their make-up, but there is no audience, this is probably the most unacceptable result for Dr. Mad.

“Of course, the other side is also very likely to attack the group, so inform everyone to pay attention……”

Li Fei hasn’t finished talking yet when he felt his body go cold.

Geng Tian backed up three steps, a layer of goosebumps on his arm. He instinctively used his “field”.

——Jian Hua is awake.

The smooth and quiet breathing became heavy. The limp hand grabbed Li Fei’s clothes. Fingers clenched tight, and blue veins appeared on the back of his hand. Li Fei covered it with his own hand. Usually, at this time, Jian Hua will get better, then wake up soon.

“No……” He vaguely mumbled.

Li Fei went closer, trying to hear what he’s saying.

“Run.”

With a loud bang, a row of buildings collapsed outside the window. Several giant spiders appeared out of thin air.

They subconsciously pulled their eight legs after discovering that the spiderweb that their lives depend on were gone. Then they began spinning, suddenly launching a burst of white silk on the street, and pulling on all sides.

The ability holders quickly hid in the surrounding houses to avoid being tied by the spider silk.

“Where did this thing came from?”

“S……spider.” Yang Chao was once nearly killed by a spider, so he couldn’t help but tremble.

Li Fei sharply raised his head. He thought he saw snake-like thunderbolts in the sky, and soon it showed up again.

“Space crack, run!”
