Chapter 27 Can you escape?
Zhao Hai stuffed the half-bag of vermicelli into his bag, but after that, there was no room left in his backpack. As for the box of instant noodles, he wasn't worried; although his bag was full, he could carry the box of instant noodles himself.
Of course, Zhao Hai didn't forget the most important thing in the shop either.
"Hmm! Not bad! Nearly a hundred packets of seasoning similar to hot pot base, it was worth the trip!" Zhao Hai nodded in satisfaction.
Eating only white rice and bread every day, Zhao Hai's mouth had long since become incredibly bland.
Before he successfully awakened, he didn't think about improving things; as long as he could eat his fill and survive, that was enough.
But now that he has become a superhuman, he has to improve his quality of life.
"After all this time, Zhang Biao and the others should be here by now!" Zhao Hai murmured to himself after collecting the supplies.
Just as Zhao Hai finished speaking, he saw the two brothers and Chen Zhifu and the others meet at the door!
Immediately, Zhao Hai found a chair and sat down at a leisurely pace.
Chen Zhifu walked in front, followed by the Zhang brothers and the two men he brought with him.
Chen Zhifu and his two henchmen were each holding a fruit knife or dagger, while Zhang Biao was holding a claw hammer, and his brother was holding a fruit knife.
The five men walked in looking fierce and menacing.
Zhang Biao's younger brother saw that Zhao Hai's backpack was stuffed full and there was an unopened box of instant noodles next to the chair. His greedy eyes never left the supplies on Zhao Hai's body.
Not only him, but the two men Chen Zhifu brought were also extremely envious of the supplies Zhao Hai had!
Upon seeing Zhao Hai, Zhang Biao was the first to make a move.
"Zhao Hai, you really are a beast! Uncle Fu treated you very well back then! But you actually climbed up to the superhuman in the caravan behind Uncle Fu's back. Where do you put Uncle Fu?"
Today, together with Uncle Fu, I will destroy you, you ungrateful beast!
Hearing Zhang Biao say this, the two men who came with Chen Zhifu also felt that what Zhang Biao said made some sense, but they couldn't understand why Chen Zhifu would ask them to come and kill Zhang Biao with Zhao Hai.
"Ha! Zhang Biao, you're really speaking with such righteous indignation. Anyone who didn't know better would really think you were some kind of chivalrous person who upholds justice!"
You came here today to kill me, isn't it because you've offended me and are afraid I'll cause you trouble? Oh! No, it shouldn't be said that I'm causing you trouble, but that I'm going to kill you.
After all, I won't let anyone who offends me get away with it! Not even an ant! Zhao Hai said calmly, a hint of amusement flashing in his eyes.
Seeing Zhao Hai's calm and composed attitude, Zhang Biao's unease grew stronger.
Seeing Zhao Hai's arrogant attitude, Zhang Biao's younger brother couldn't hold back any longer.
"Hmph! Zhao Hai, what do you care about our reasons? Just know that today is your death day! One against five, do you really think you're some kind of Sequence Transcendent?"
"Oh? One against five? Are you sure? Why can't it be four against two?" Zhao Hai's face was full of amusement.
Upon hearing Zhao Hai's words, Zhang Biao immediately realized what was happening. He gripped the claw hammer tightly and looked at Chen Zhifu and the other two with a wary expression.
At this moment, the knives and daggers in the hands of Chen Zhifu and his two companions turned towards Zhang Biao and his brother! The atmosphere changed instantly, and the Zhang brothers were clearly the weaker party.
Zhang Biao roared hoarsely, "Chen Zhifu, I was trying to help you out of kindness, and you betrayed me?"
"Help me?" Chen Zhifu, who had been silent until now, finally spoke up. "Are you sure you really want to help me? Or are you just trying to eliminate a threat to yourself?"
Seeing the situation reverse, Zhang Biao's initial surge of anger subsided, and he forced himself to remain calm, saying:
"Zhao Hai, Uncle Fu, there are only four of you, while my brother and I are two. If we fight to the death, we might not be able to die together, but it wouldn't be a problem to take one or two of them with us!"
Are you sure you want to do this?
"How about we pretend we never met today? After we leave, you go your sunny path, and we'll cross our narrow bridge! Let's settle our scores here and there, shall we?"
"Uncle Fu, you should take your men and get away from here!" Zhao Hai ignored Zhang Biao and instead spoke calmly to Chen Zhifu.
"Okay!" Chen Zhifu nodded, then waved to the two men he had brought with him.
The situation where Chen Zhifu and his two companions surrounded the Zhang brothers was instantly resolved.
Seeing that Zhao Hai was able to command Chen Zhifu, Zhang Biao was so shocked that he couldn't speak, but he didn't have time to think about why.
At this moment, Chen Zhifu and the other two ran behind Zhao Hai, which was the best time for them to escape. If Zhao Hai changed his mind, things would be bad.
"Brother Zhao Hai is the most rational one! I promise that my brother and I will never cause trouble for Brother Zhao Hai again!" Seeing Zhao Hai dismiss Chen Zhifu's men, Zhang Biao also believed that Zhao Hai had agreed with his opinion.
After saying that, Zhang Biao tried to pull his younger brother back.
"I'm sorry, you seem to have misunderstood. I had no intention of letting you go! After all, I don't have the habit of letting enemies go unpunished! I only asked them to move away a bit to prevent them from being accidentally injured!"
Zhao Hai slowly stood up and grinned.
"Actually, your brother is right, I really am a Sequence Transcendent!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Zhang Biao's eyes filled with disbelief, and he immediately shouted at his younger brother:
"run!"
"Hmph! You think you can escape!" Zhao Hai's lips curled into a cold smile, his eyes showing no urgency, only the indifference of a cat toying with a mouse.
He didn't even move a step; he just stood there, casually raising his right hand and pointing lightly with his index finger in the direction where Zhang Biao and his brothers had fled in a sorry state.
There was no earth-shattering display, nor any complex or obscure incantation. Only a wisp of almost imperceptible dark green aura, like a serpent, quietly seeped from his fingertips, instantly condensing into a ball of poisonous gas the size of an egg, murky in color, with what appeared to be viscous liquid churning inside.
The moment the poisonous balloon left their fingertips, it emitted an extremely faint hiss, like a snake flicking its tongue, before transforming into a blurry, dark green afterimage. With a speed far exceeding that of the Zhang brothers' escape, it arrived with pinpoint accuracy, passing over their heads, and then—
"Pop!"
With a soft sound like a bubble bursting, the poison balloon exploded in mid-air less than a meter in front of Zhang Biao and Zhang Meng!
There was no violent explosion, but at the moment of the explosion, a thick, nauseating dark green poisonous fog suddenly spread out, as if it were a living thing, instantly covering the area in front of the two people and to the left and right of them!
