Chapter 290 - Chapter 290 Chapter 290 Seriously what the heck

Chapter 290: Chapter 290 Seriously, what the heck! Chapter 290: Chapter 290 Seriously, what the heck! “Today has been incredibly unlucky. Wang Hao wouldn’t dare to venture into the city center. With this kind of bad luck, if he entered the city center, the whole city might grind to a halt!”

“Run to the suburbs, I must run to the suburbs!”

As Wang Hao and the girl sprinted towards the suburbs, four police officers chased them relentlessly, shouting, “Warning! Warning! Stop or we will shoot!”

“To stop would be even worse. Wang Hao glanced back and thought, ‘Four police officers, eh? If you enter this radius of bad luck, you definitely won’t get off easy!’

‘I’m thinking of your own good, you know?!’

Now Wang Hao ran even faster. Suddenly, he saw what seemed like an abandoned building in the distance and pulled the girl towards it, “Quick, let’s hide inside…”

“Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!”

Just as they reached the building and before they even entered, they heard a series of explosions. The entire building’s pillars exploded, and it completely collapsed from top to bottom!

Wang Hao: “… What the hell is happening?!”

Wang Hao was stunned–was his bad luck really that powerful now?!

Not just Wang Hao was flabbergasted; the four police officers were too: “What the hell, the building just collapsed!” “Was it being demolished with explosives?!” “Thank goodness we didn’t go in!”

“Rumble!” The building stirred up a monstrous cloud of dust, engulfing everyone in its wake!

“Cough, cough, cough!” Now Wang Hao was truly a mess, completely covered in dirt and dust!

The four police officers were caught in it as well, unable to see a thing!

“What are you waiting for, let’s run!” Wang Hao didn’t hesitate at all now. The most important thing was to get out of the city, not worry about how the building collapsed–seems like his streak of bad luck was even more brutal than before!

“You’re literally unbelievable!” At that moment, the girl was utterly in awe of Wang Hao: “I’ve never seen anyone as unlucky as you! I was just fretting on the balcony earlier, and only fell because the railing broke but, compared to you, my misfortune seems trivial! I just have to post about today on social media. This is too miraculous!”

And you still have time to think about social media?!

Wang Hao subconsciously glanced at her phone, and a shiver ran up from his feet to his head.

The girl’s phone was actually a Samsung NOTE7! Damn, his luck was still atrocious!

Are you planning to go down with me?!

Without a word, Wang Hao snatched her phone and threw it away behind them. Then he saw the phone spin several times mid-air towards those five policemen, and the four police officers instinctively dropped to the ground. And then…

“Boom!” The phone exploded in mid-air!

“Headquarters, headquarters, requesting support!” The four police officers were dumbfounded and pulled out their guns as one of them shouted into the radio, “The subject is carrying highly dangerous explosive material, requesting riot squad support, OVER!”

“How did you know my phone would explode?!” The girl was completely shocked.

Had it not been for Wang Hao throwing her phone away, she would have been a goner!

After the phone exploded, Wang Hao too was drenched in cold sweat, thankful for his quick thinking.

“Now’s not the time to be amazed!” Wang Hao grabbed her, and they dashed off. Soon, they spotted a complex terrain ahead, cluttered with various objects–a perfect hideout.

“Quick, inside!” Wang Hao led the girl and they dove into the area, turning left and right, eventually losing the police officers.

Oh man, what a relief, finally safe, let’s take a breather…

As soon as they sat down, Wang Hao saw a sign nearby that seemed important and subconsciously read it aloud, “This area is a war movie explosion zone. Unauthorized persons keep out…”

Wang Hao: “…”

Damn, I knew it! The earlier stuff was just a warm-up, this here is the real show–damn it!

At that moment, the girl also saw the sign, her face filled with horror.

She glanced at the sign, then at Wang Hao, and after swallowing hard, she asked, “The mines here… they won’t explode, will they?”

Wang Hao: “What do you think…”

She took another look at the sign, then at Wang Hao: “I think… they will!”

Wang Hao: “You got that right!”

With no tears to cry! This place is a minefield, who knows where bombs are buried?! Given the ridiculously bad luck, if I walk near a bomb, there’s no discussion, it’ll explode! Will I be blown to ashes then?

“Wait a minute!” Just when all hope seemed lost, Wang Hao suddenly spotted a small two-story building not far ahead!

Who knows where there might be mines buried in this area, but they wouldn’t bury mines inside that building, right?

…

Meanwhile, on the other side of this location…

“Mr. Zhang,” a director from the crew was explaining the scene to his investor: “We’ve already planted hundreds of special bombs here, they’re everywhere, and these bombs are the best in the business, exploding just like the real deal!”

The investor, Mr. Zhang, with a cigar between his fingers, nodded in satisfaction, “Mm, remember, I want a big spectacle, the more explosive, the better!”

“Of course,” the director chuckled and said, “I threw in over two million in one go, and once we start filming, I can assure you, you’ll be very satisfied!”

“Money is not an issue,” Mr. Zhang decisively nodded: “Then let’s get started, aiming for a one-take! This shot has to be one of the most spectacular in our movie, so take it seriously!” He spoke as his phone rang, and then he said with a laugh, “I’ll take this call first, Director Wu, start filming once you’re ready.”

“No problem!” Director Wu instructed the film’s protagonist, “When the time comes, rush into that building, rescue the hostage and start running! Remember, this is a war movie, this scene is the most explosive of all, and make sure not to run towards the explosives after rescuing the hostage, it would be very dangerous, got it?”

The fully armed protagonist nodded fiercely: “I understand!”

All departments appeared to be ready–“Action!”

Director Wu pushed the protagonist: “Go!”

The protagonist jogged quietly into the building, only to be stunned the moment he entered: “What are you guys doing here?”

Wang Hao and the girl were also stunned: “Where should we be then?”

How’s that for bad luck?

At that moment, Wang Hao and the girl, covered in dirt and grime, especially since they coincidentally wore the same outfits as the hostages in the film…

Matching outfits! The protagonist immediately mistook them for the captive hostages: “Never mind, just come with me! Everyone’s waiting outside!”

Wang Hao and the girl exchanged glances: “What’s going on here?” Who’s waiting?

Both of them, utterly confused, followed the protagonist out of the building, and at that moment, Director Wu vigorously waved his hand from a distance: “They’re coming out, start the explosions!”

“Boom!” “Boom!” “Boom!”

Holy shit, the bombs are actually exploding! Wang Hao was nearly scared pissless, not cool, God!

In a panic, he grabbed the girl and they started running like mad! The protagonist was stunned: “This way, this way!”

Can anyone even care which way it is now?!

Wang Hao was running like a madman, what an incredibly unlucky day! He could really get blown up!

“Boom!” Wang Hao and the girl hadn’t gone far when a bomb exploded right next to them! The earth-shattering force nearly made Wang Hao fall on his ass, and the kicked-up sand covered them from head to toe!

“Freakin’ hell!” This is no joke! Wang Hao ran desperately! The girl tightly followed him, and as they ran, more bombs in the area went “boom boom boom,” one after another, detonating!

Each explosion was less than five meters away from Wang Hao, he could even feel the heat from the blasts!

“Good God, good God, good God, good God!” Wang Hao yelled as he ran: “This is not freaking fair, damn it!”

A note on updates. A lot of readers complain about the lack of updates, but honestly, it’s not that I don’t want to update, who would want to upset money, right?

But seriously, there’s nothing I can do. My Sugar Bean is just two years old, wakes up five or six times a night, now only with a full-time effort can I ensure steady updates. Otherwise, it would be worse, when you have a child at home, no kidding, every night I get kicked awake by the kid at least three times, the little rascal tosses and turns all over the bed, sometimes even ends up on top of my head…

Boohoo…

But the kid is still cute, oh ho ho ho!

I guess this is what they call a ‘painfully joyful’ experience…
