jiang liushi drove the new mcv back to their temporary accommodation, and jiang zhuying, who was waiting for him in front of the buildingâs door, became vigilant upon seeing the double-decker tour bus. zhang hai and sun kun by her side immediately raised their guns.
âdonât be nervous! thatâs brother jiang,â said ran xiyu. her eyes betrayed that she too was surprised by the bus.
at that moment, the bus stopped in front of the door, and jiang liushi got down.
jiang zhuying dashed to the tour busâ door and asked, âbrother, what this?â
before jiang liushi could answer, she took a look inside and was utterly shocked. âwow! how can it be so luxurious and spacious!?â then, she ran inside, screaming in excitement. shortly after, she got off, grabbed jiang liushiâs hands, swaying them back and forth while bombarding him with all kinds of questions. âbrother tell me the story. where did you find it? may i have my own room in the future? itâs amazing!â
jiang liushi showed a helpless smile and pinched jiang zhuyingâs delicate face. then, he said, âyouâve almost shaken your brotherâs arms down. this is our new car. we will be using this one from now on.â
ânew car? what about the minibus?â zhang hai couldnât help but ask. his eyes were shining.
since the tour bus was jiang liushiâs new ride, he could not help but wonder about the minibus. could he give it to them to drive it? zhang hai could feel that the tour bus was more powerful than the minibus. however, in zhang haiâs mind, the minibus was enough. he had been dreaming of riding a similar vehicle. naturally, zhang hai was unaware that jiang liushiâs ability limited him on only refitting vehicles that he was going to use. hence, it was impossible to make one for zhang hai.
jiang liushi looked at zhang hai with a smile. âunfortunately, the tour bus is the upgraded version of the minibus.â
âoh,â zhang hai also smiled.
zhang hai reached his hands out and touched the body of the tour bus, and then wandered around it. he loved cars. in his mind, the new tour bus could be regarded as the heavyweight champion of all vehicles. his gut feeling told him that the new vehicle was not as simple as it seemed, and it should have many hidden functions.
âwhy did you upgrade it into a tour bus?â asked ran xiyu. âis there a hidden meaning behind it? like touring the post-apocalyptic world?â
âuh,â¦â jiang liushi didnât know what to say as he had not thought about it before. upon listening to ran xiyuâs question, he too felt it was strange.
âwell, itâs a good vehicle,â replied jiang liushi.
âoh,â ran xiyu nodded gently.
then, jiang liushi tried to further elaborate. âiâm a person who likes reminiscing the past and acquaintances. in my eyes, the tour bus is like the minibus.â after that, jiang liushi coughed awkwardly.
unexpectedly, a strange expression appeared on ran xiyuâs face. âa person who likes reminiscing the past and acquaintances? yuxin, ling, ying, as well as xiang xuehaiâ¦which oneâ¦â ran xiyu fell into deep thought while turning back.
jiang liushi felt confused as he saw ran xiyu turning back and entering the building. he wondered what was wrong.
âbrotherâ¦â jiang zhuying stared at jiang liushi, and then she shook her head, saying, âthe world of adults is a complex one. brother, take care of yourself.â
âdonât talk nonsense.â jiang liushi was totally annoyed by jiang zhuying. however, he indeed felt that ran xiyu was strange during the past few days. her attitude was unstable. had he done something wrong? if he had, he believed that ran xiyu would tell him sooner or later.
âalas! brother you should go see peach first,â said jiang zhuying.
âoh, peach!â jiang liushi ran to that room quickly, forgetting all the questions he had.
jiang zhuying and zhang hai didnât leave. instead, they boarded the tour bus in excitement so that they could explore it.
in a bedroom, peach was lying on one of the beds. her original bright face was now pale. fortunately, her innocent eyes had become lively again. li yuxin and wei feifei, whose eyes were red from tears, were sitting beside peach.
âthank you very much. if not for you, iâd stay in a coma forever,â said peach to li yuxin.
li yuxin in return nodded and said, âyou donât need to thank me. brother jiang made this possible. he should be the one you should thank.â
at that moment, jiang liushi entered the room. when peach saw him, her eyes lit up, and a warm smile appeared on her face. then, she hurriedly stood up. âcaptain jiang thank you for saving meâ¦ah!â peach wanted to say more, but she suddenly felt dizzy and fell forward. jiang liushi held her body at once, supporting peach.
at the same time, he felt her chest pressing against his body and got a whiff of peachâs unique aroma. jiang liushi felt really embarrassed in front of so many girls.
peach blushed and hid her face, not daring to look at jiang liushi. âcaptain jiang, iâm really sorry!â
âitâs okay. you need to rest. donât overexert yourself,â said jiang liushi and helped peach to sit on the bed.
âuh,â peach smiled and nodded.
li yuxin sighed in her mind. âanother beautiful girlâ¦itâs a pity that jiang liushi is as dense as a rockâ¦â jiang liushi didnât care about anything else other than leading and improving his team.
after making sure that peach was okay, jiang liushi asked, âwhat have you heard during the past few days from the huaxia regionâs people? did han yuan mention anything about a mysterious group?â
âmysterious group?â peach thought and then shook her head. âno.â
jiang liushi seemed disappointed. han yuan had said that their group didnât have a name, which was probably for safety reasons. âdid hear about anything that sounded strange?â asked jiang liushi again.
peach thought for a moment, and then she exclaimed as if she had remembered something. âhe once mentioned something about black light energy. moreover, he mentioned a boss,â replied peach nervously. she didnât know what jiang liushi would like to know.
âthatâs it!â
suddenly, jiang liushi grabbed peachâs shoulder and asked, âwhat else did he say?â
peachâs face turned scarlet red when jiang liushi touched her again. âlet me thinkâ¦he once mentioned that he had reported everything about the black light to his boss and heâd definitely get promoted. his bossâ name is luo jiafeng, and heâs in qionghai town,â answered peach. she had a pretty good memory, and after becoming a paranormal, peach could remember everything she had heard.
âqionghai town, luo jiafeng!â jiang liushi became excited as he had finally information on the mysterious groupâs whereabouts.
according to han yuan, the mysterious group would learn everything and eventually hunt the shi ying squad down. therefore, jiang liushi had decided to strike in advance.
âthey will never expect that the black holeâs core has been integrated with my mcv. the core is like a power source that can provide unlimited energy for my mcv,âthought jiang liushi.
then, he said, âwe should go to the jiangning safety zone first!â
