Chapter 379: 214 Can’t Pass! (Third Update)_2

A glint of ferociousness flashed in the man’s eyes, but he put on a facade of being a simple and honest person and said appeasingly, "We really mean no harm. We set up this roadblock just to warn people coming here that the road ahead is completely impassable."

Bai Ye didn’t believe his words at all and asked without a change in expression, "The road ahead is impassable? What do you mean by that? Elaborate."

The man didn’t hesitate to explain, "There’s a huge earth sink ahead, it’s turned into a deep pit. The road is broken, you can’t get across it! If you don’t believe me, you can go and see for yourself."

The last sentence was added because he was afraid Bai Ye wouldn’t believe him.

Upon hearing this, Bai Ye said, "Move your roadblock, we’ll go up ahead and see for ourselves."

At his words, someone became anxious, "Hey! You’re really going to try and cross? There’s a huge hole there, your vehicle simply won’t be able to get through!"

With this statement, Bai Ye grew even more suspicious and said sternly, "Move aside if you don’t want to die!"

His words were quite rude. These people who were blocking the road were no pushovers, used to bullying others. How could they take such an insult? As soon as he spoke, they all gripped their weapons tighter, and the four with guns seemed as if they would rather greet them with bullets!

However, it was the burly man who was presumably their leader noticed something was amiss. He quickly turned his head and glared sternly at the people behind him, hissing in a low voice, "What are you doing? Put your weapons down! Do you all have a death wish?" He said this, pressing his voice even lower, to an almost inaudible level for anyone else, and continued, "Don’t be reckless. The ones who have come this time are not ordinary people. Offending them will do us no good. Since they want to go, just let them. After all, we haven’t lied; they will see once they get there."

The robust man was a Level 1 Superpower User, his superpower belonging to the Power System, and he evidently held great authority in front of his subordinates. As soon as he finished speaking, though some were still dissatisfied, no one dared to argue, and they obediently moved the roadblock aside.

Bai Ye gestured to the driver to drive on. As they passed by the burly man, he specifically thanked him, and then the vehicle drove past these people.

In the moment of passing by, wary of any deceit or sudden attack from the other side, everyone heightened their vigilance and tensed their minds. They each selected their opponents, ready to kill them instantly should they show the slightest sign of ill intentions.

However, these people did not act. Only when they were far away did someone complain reluctantly, "Brother Zhao, are we really just going to let them off like that?"

The ’Brother Zhao’ he referred to was the robust man. Watching the departing vehicle, he only began to coldly laugh after a good while, "What’s there to worry about? Didn’t I just say? As long as we haven’t lied, since these folks want to go take a look, let them. After they see it for themselves, they will naturally understand we didn’t lie, and then they’ll come back to us obediently!"

Another person asked, "Brother Zhao, why didn’t you let your men take action? How tough can this bunch really be? Maybe they’re just some rich second-generation kids. Who knows how many good things they have in their car? Just letting them go like that seems too easy on them."

Hearing this, Brother Zhao looked at the others, seeing that they all shared the same indignant expressions, he inquired, "Is that what you all think?"

Everyone nodded.

Brother Zhao suddenly felt a frustrating sense of their incompetence and coldly sneered, slapping the top of someone’s head beside him, "Idiots! A bunch of fools! Do you even have brains? Or have they all filled with water? Are you blind as well? Huh? Can’t you see?"

After a barrage of scolding, someone, trying to appease him, said, "Brother Zhao, just tell us what you mean, will you? You know we’re not as smart as you, Brother Zhao."

Brother Zhao loved to hear such words. He was able to keep these men under control precisely because they weren’t as clever as him, nor as strong. Otherwise, should any of his subordinates become smarter than him, that’s when he would start losing sleep.

So, his anger subsided, and he explained patiently, "You all remember the car from before, right? All off-road, luxury vehicles! Two of them were even specially modified. Does just anybody have cars like that? Plus, they’ve come from somewhere else, and although we don’t know exactly how far they’ve traveled, did you see their vehicles? Barely any scratches on them! What does that tell you? It means either they haven’t encountered zombies, or their strength is sufficient! And the bullet from before, have you forgotten? There’s at least one sharpshooter in their car! And that guy who was talking, he’s no easy target either! We have to be careful with this group!"

With this explanation, the others suddenly understood, then looked at him with admiration, filling him with a sense of pride.

Meanwhile, Bai Ye, Fang Yuxin, and the others continued on their way and soon saw the road ahead had indeed collapsed, with an area as large as a football field having completely sunk, forming a giant pit.

On either side of the road were mounds about three to four meters high, not too tall. Once the sinkhole had formed, half of the hillside had collapsed into it, leaving a jagged edge.

The mounds were originally covered with vegetation, but now much of it had withered away, adding to the desolation.

The mounds weren’t tall, and one could easily walk around them, but doing so with vehicles was impossible. They had a Space Superpower User with them, who could easily store the vehicle in their space, circle around this segment of the road, and then continue on their way. But for others, this wouldn’t be an option, no wonder those people set up the roadblock.

However, no one believed they had good intentions! (To be continued. If you enjoy this work, come and vote your support at Qidian (qidian.com). Your support is my greatest motivation. Mobile users, please read on m.qidian.com.)
