After an hour.
Chen Hao came out from the valley and quickly changed back to his normal attire.
The trench coat he wore was specially designed for the Toxic Mosquito Valley.
He then recalled Mo Jianâs gruesome expression when he met his demise earlier.
Even then, Chen Hao felt the adrenaline rush of sweet revenge. It looked like even if Mo Changkongâs people were to track them down to this place, they wouldnât be able to find Mo Jianâs whereabouts in a short while.
If Chen Haoâs guesses were right, Mo Changkong would continue his search party like a mad man.
Then, the Chen family and himself would get the chance to wind down a little.
As for China, Chen Hao was afraid that he wouldnât be able to go back just yet.
He had to find himself a new place to settle down.
Carrying his backpack, Chen Hao gave off a vibe as if he had just graduated from college.
His looks were also restored to when he always had a modest and naive expression.
Buzz! Buzz!
Right at the moment.
A loud motor sound rang throughout the wasteland.
What Chen Hao saw following was two people running for their lives while being chased by an SUV.
A guy and a girl.
They were running toward his direction.
Immediately, Chen Hao recognized that they were none other than the chubby man who was selling biscuits on the bus and the beauty that was clad in black leather clothes.
âItâs them?â
Chen Hao wore his cap and lowered the brim of it.
âHelp! Please help us! Someone wants to murder us!â the chubby man shrieked for help.
On the other hand, the beauty in black looked like she was suffering from a serious injury, with fresh blood dripping down from her leg.
The white case that she carried earlier had turned murky black.
âHey, man! Please save us! T-Theyâve got guns with them!â the chubby man cried out.
The girlâs face was as pale as a sheet.
The SUV was going to catch up any time soon.
Moreover, the girl killed four robbers in one go earlier on.
From her looks however, she didnât seem like someone who was evil and calculating.
On the contrary, those few in the SUV that were heading over their direction were bald and had tattoos all over their bodies.
âFollow me into the valley!â Chen Hao urged.
He brought along the two of them and rushed into the valley.
Right at that moment.
Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!
The loud noise of guns shooting echoed from behind, the bullets shot were all over the place as they were deflected by the stone walls of the valley.
Screech!
The SUV finally stopped.
Five men with loaded guns came out from the car.
âSh*t! They ran pretty fast! But, donât worry. I shot the girl just now, so she wonât be able to run that far!
Brothers, load up your guns and catch up to them!â the head of the men ordered.
âHey boss, I donât think we should do that. This valley is called the Toxic Mosquito Valley. If we were attacked by the toxic mosquitoes, we would be reduced to dust in no time! Neither our skin nor our bones would be left! We shouldnât enter the valley!â one of the followers warned.
âBut, the case with the moneyâ¦â the head of the men hesitated.
âWhatever. Even if they went in, Iâm sure it wonât be long before they rush out by themselves again. I want you guys to contact the others to come over and surround every entry of the valley! Ask them to bring their guns too!â the head of the men added on.
âYes, boss!â
âSh*t! Why are there so many mosquitoes here?! Hey, man! What kind of place is this?â
Back in the valley, the chubby man inquired anxiously as he carried the girl who was on the brink of passing out.
âThis is the Toxic Mosquito Valley. Naturally, there will be a lot of mosquitoes!â
âT-Toxic Mosquito Valley? Are you saying that this is one of the deadly zones, the Toxic Mosquito Valley?!â the chubby men exclaimed in shock. Clearly, he was a knowledgeable man and had learnt a thing or two about this place.
âYep!â Chen Hao nodded his head.
âWhat the f*ck? Hey, man! Letâs stop going further, this isnât any better than going back out and getting shot dead by those men! I heard that once youâre attacked by these toxic mosquitoes, you will be reduced to nothing!â
The chubby man was terrified.
âThen why did both of you run toward my direction? Arenât you guys just dragging me along with you?â
Chen Hao chuckled bitterly.
If it was a short distance, Chen Hao might have been able to avoid the bullets.
However, within such a long distance, when hit with a row of bullets, even if Chen Hao managed to avoid them, he would end up with some sort of injuries too!
He saw the chubby manâs facial expression of shock and chuckled. âFollow me, there is a cave in the valley that we can hide in temporarily! She has lost too much blood already, there is a high chance that she might die if we donât treat her soon!â
âReally?â
The chubby man was surprised.
Chen Hao shook his head and headed forward.
He brought them into a cave.
Around this area, the toxic mosquitoes were almost zero to none.
âWow! Is this a miracle? There are no toxic mosquitoes here at all!â the chubby man laid the unconscious girl down and exclaimed.
âThe plants you see outside the cave right there are repellents for the toxic mosquitoes! With the plants around, the toxic mosquitoes would not dare to show up!â
Chen Hao was rather familiar with herbal medicines, so naturally he knew the properties of the plants.
âWho are you? How do you know so much?â
Chen Hao walked over to examine the girlâs condition.
However, the girl frowned and questioned him instead.
âIt doesnât matter who I am. If we donât attend to your injuries soon, you'll be dead in no time! What exactly happened to you guys? Why were they chasing after the both of you?â
Chen Hao felt like he overheard that the girl was on a mission to assassinate someone.
However, by the looks of it right now, the mission was a failure.
âYeah! If only I knew about this earlier, I wouldnât have followed you in the first place! Youâve really caused me so much trouble, do you know that?â the chubby man asked the girl in infuriation.
âHaha! Well, since we donât have much time to live anymore, I suppose it doesnât matter if I tell you guys the truth!â
The girl continued, âThe person that I wanted to assasinate is a powerful man from the Southwest Region. He entrapped my friends and only I managed to escape!â
âWell, it looks like you were trained since birth to assassinate, weren't you?â
Chen Hao probed further as he tore the gauze to bandage her injuries.
His questions made the girl view him in a different light.
She continued staring at Chen Hao.
âHey, hey, hey! Iâm not interested to know about your personal vendetta with those people! What I want to know is, what did you mean when you said that we donât have much time to live anymore?!â The chubby man urged.
âHaha! Well, according to Li Huâs usual modus operandi, they would most likely have surrounded all the entrances of the valley with his people by now. Although we are hidden in here, even if we werenât bitten to death by the toxic mosquitoes, we would eventually starve to death! However, with the three of us dying together, I guess that would make my journey to death less lonely!â the girl explained.
âWhat the hell! Y-Youâre terrible! How dare you drag us along with you!â
The chubby manâs eyes widened.
âEven with your serious injuries, you still have the mood to scare him, huh? Well, just like what youâve said, since we are all dying here anyway, it doesnât matter if we were to do anything bad to you! After all, this fatty here looks like he is still a virgin!â Chen Hao shook his head and snickered.
âD-D-Donât you dare!â
The girl glared at him.
Then, Chen Hao turned his gaze to the chubby man, âHey, fatty! Could you go deeper inside and retrieve some water back? There is a stream with an undercurrent further inside. I need to help her clean her wounds!â
âOkay!â
The chubby man nodded and left with a bottle.
âYou only have light scratches around your arm. However, the injury on your thigh seems pretty bad and it might get infected easily. Iâll have to suck the blood clottings out from the under layer surface of your skin!â Chen Hao informed the girl after the chubby man left.
âHow are you going to suck the blood out?â she asked.
âWith my mouth, of course!â
Chen Hao couldnât help but blushed in embarrassment. âHave you removed your clothes?â
Slap!
However, he did not expect the girl to slap him.
âYou bastard! Donât you dare do it!â her face was flushed all over as she protested shyly.
