Those Classmates who Suddenly Disappeared

Chapter 335: Chapter 335: Three-way Melee

Gu Fan also noticed Lin Xi’s seemingly unconcerned demeanor, puzzling him. Could it be that Lin Xi believes that because he holds hostages, Gu Fan wouldn’t dare take action?

The current situation was beyond Gu Fan’s expectation. The boss had hostages, the villagers of Gucheng also held hostages. Gu Fan was left in a dilemma. The mere sight of Su Hui holding a shotgun was enough to subdue all the villagers.

"What should I do?" Gu Fan observed and realized Zhuo Hang was nowhere to be found. If Zhuo Hang were here, there would be an additional shotgun on their side.

Gu Fan urgently signaled to Ning Qi. Ning Qi understood, but she didn’t want to get involved. However, if she didn’t do anything, she might never win Gu Fan’s trust again.

Biting her lip, with a stomp of her foot, Ning Qi hurriedly aimed the shotgun at Old man Tian: "I’m sorry, old man, if you dare to shoot Gu Fan, I won’t be polite."

"Let’s all calm down," Ouyang Jin pleaded, his head spinning, wondering how things had escalated to this point.

The people of Gucheng shouted: "Gu Fan, whether you are right or wrong, if you dare act, we won’t be kind to your friends."

Gu Fan looked at the almost fanatical crowd of Gucheng, then laughed. Now he was sure of one thing: he could not allow these people to obtain eternal life. These people would undoubtedly become demons.

"Alright, let’s end this farce," the boss said and delivered a punch with lightning speed directly at Gu Fan.

Experiencing deep, piercing pain, Gu Fan grasped the spot where he was punched then knelt down, spitting blood, failing to understand why the boss had suddenly attacked.

The others were dumbfounded. According to logic, Gu Fan deserved credit for offering the blueprints, but the boss acted as if he was disgusted.

"Gu Fan, you may be smart, but did you think you could deceive me?" The boss huffed coldly, looking at Gu Fan lying on the ground, vomiting blood, disregarding the blueprints completely.

The boss sneered scornfully: "Gu Fan, remember what I asked you to do? You were to catch up with Lin Xi and bring back whatever discoveries they made. But what have you done now, trying to fob me off with two blueprints and expose my location in advance?"

Upon hearing this, everyone understood Gu Fan’s intentions. Gu Fan didn’t want to be used by the boss anymore and hoped to take this opportunity to inform Lin Xi and the villagers that the boss had been following them all along.

Du Changhui was sweating profusely. If everyone found the relics left by the Eternal Life Clan at once, the situation would worsen if the boss intervened then.

However, everything Gu Fan had done and his little schemes had been seen through by the boss who was so angry that he grabbed Gu Fan by the neck and lifted him up.

"Boy, you think you’re clever, trying to trick me, you will pay the price." The boss’s cold sentence seemed to have announced Gu Fan’s fate.

"Don’t!" Leng Le was terrified and anxious but had no way out.

Just as the boss was about to deliver a deadly blow, he suddenly found he couldn’t move as if his strength had run out. There was only one person who could do this on the spot.

First, Lin Xi used his supernatural power to suppress the boss, then raised his hand, creating a strong suction to pull Gu Fan back.

"That was close." Gu Fan escaped death. When he returned he staggered a step and almost fell, but luckily Su Hui dashed over to support him, asking, "Kid, how are you?"

"Don’t worry, it’s not lethal," Gu Fan said jokingly, indicating he was not seriously hurt. However, the problem now was...

The boss was still choking Leng Le’s neck, sneered: "Congratulations, kid, your life is really hard to take, but I’m afraid your girlfriend is going to die before your very eyes."

"Stop it, we can talk," Gu Fan called out in desperation: "I have at least two blueprints. We can trade."

The boss coldly replied, "No need for trouble. Now that I have appeared, I plan to be straightforward, kill all of you, and take the blueprints back."

Leng Le was frightened, feeling the boss’s hand tightening around her neck. Could it be that the boss was really going to kill her?

Just when things were looking dire, an abrupt change happened. The snow around them burst open, and giant snow monsters leaped out from underneath, roaring furiously, stunning everyone.

"What the heck is this?" Hai and Leng Le saw it for the first time and were utterly terrified.

"No way, it’s even bigger than the one we saw that night. Did it really become stronger by devouring its own kind?" Lu Yi and Jie quickly retreated, but found they were surrounded by the snow monsters.

The snow monsters, regardless of who was in front, attacked furiously. Their charge and roar were like thunder, and no one could withstand them.

"Don’t panic everyone!" Du Changhui shouted, but it was of no use, he couldn’t control the spread of fear.

Five people attempted to stop a snow monster but were flung away. They screamed in agony as they were trampled into pulp by the snow monster.

"Good heavens, let’s run." Lu Yi quickly helped Gu Fan up, while Su Hui used the shotgun to clear the way. At this point, everything was in chaos, and they had no idea where to run.

Old man Tian and Ning Qi, who had just been at each other’s throats, were now, out of necessity, on the same team, firing at a charging snow monster together. But despite firing multiple shots, they couldn’t stop the snow monster’s advance.

However, Su Hui’s shot accurately hit the snow monster’s head, causing it to howl and fall.

"What are you waiting for, run!" At Su Hui’s command, everyone gathered and together escaped from the enclosure.

After doing a quick count, they realized they were short of one person. Su Hui was worried, "Where’s Zhuo Hang? Has anyone seen him?"

"No idea, he was missing from the start." Gu Fan clutched his wound, feeling a lot of pain. He didn’t know how much force the boss had used in that punch; he felt as if his body had been punched through.

Despite looking around, Su Hui could not find Zhuo Hang. It felt strange. Where could a person of his size have gone?

Ning Qi was a little scared: "Stop looking, Zhuo Hang is very capable, he might have already broken out by himself. Let’s run."

"No, he wouldn’t run away and leave us behind." Su Hui was convinced she hadn’t misjudged him, she believed something must have happened to Zhuo Hang. She decided to let Gu Fan and others go ahead while she stayed behind to continue the search.
