170: Lu Yu saw the helmet appear out of thin air

Mr. Shang extended his hand, pointing to four people: “I can see that you all have spiritual roots and are suitable for cultivation with me.”

It was Cao Xingying and three female villagers.

The chosen villagers gratefully knelt and kowtowed: “Thank you, True God!”

Cao Xingying imitated them.

The village chief took the microphone handed to him by Mr. Shang: “Four Saintesses, hurry home, pack your luggage, and follow the True God to enjoy your blessings.”

“Those who were not chosen as Saints or Saintesses, do not despair; we still have next month.”

After a few more brainwashing sentences, the village chief announced that the Purification Ceremony was over and invited Mr. Shang to his home.

Villagers left one after another, the unchosen sighing.

“I envy them so much. If only I could have been chosen by the True God, but unfortunately, I don’t have spiritual roots.”

“I don’t know what to do to gain spiritual roots. Could it be that we are not devout enough?”

Jiang Fei deliberately slowed her pace, moving away from the crowd, and whispered to Lu Yu: “I know Mr. Shang and am familiar with the village’s terrain.”

“I’ll go investigate Mr. Shang and the village chief. You go meet up with Xu Qianyao and the others first.”

“Be careful.” As soon as Lu Yu finished speaking, he glimpsed the horrific face of the person beside him.

Looking again, Jiang Fei’s small face was fair and pretty.

Was he seeing things? Why did his neighbor seem like a different person just now?

Just as Lu Yu was about to leave, Aunt Hua came over, saying regretfully.

“You two were the most outstanding among the candidates for Saints and Saintesses this past few months. Why didn’t the True God choose you?”

“What a pity… Eh? Where did Da Ni go?”

Lu Yu calmly replied: “She had a stomach ache and went to the outhouse.”

“Da Ni always has stomach aches. Is something wrong with her health? I’ll go find some medicine and bring it to East of the village for you later.”

“Thank you, Aunt Hua.” Lu Yu sent Aunt Hua away and then left the square.

At this moment, near the village chief’s house.

There was no one guarding outside. Jiang Fei took out a miniature camera, a watch, and an Invisibility Talisman from the Supermarket warehouse.

The talisman paper disappeared instantly when placed on her body.

Noting the time she started using the talisman, Jiang Fei walked towards the village chief’s house.

The main door was closed, but a window on the first floor was open. Jiang Fei openly climbed in.

She was in a guest room.

The village chief and Mr. Shang were sitting on chairs in the living room.

Jiang Fei tentatively waved her hand.

Realizing that the two truly couldn't see her, she stood beside them and turned on the camera’s recording function.

Mr. Shang: “Recently, a cannibalistic murderer appeared in the Safety Shelter. Because of this, officials are searching house to house.”

“Although the human flesh in my house was cleaned up and we avoided the search, we need to be careful in the future.”

“The four people I chose today, I won’t take them back to kill. You help me slaughter them tonight. Remember to dispose of them cleanly, without any suspicious parts or bones.”

Speaking of this, Mr. Shang showed displeasure: “The quality of refugees this month is too poor.”

“Out of thirty people, I couldn’t find less than a fifth that I liked, and some weren’t even virgins.”

“I’ve told you many times, I want clean and beautiful food.”

“That kind of meat is the most delicious.”

The village chief fawned: “Please don’t be angry, I’ll try to collect more refugees next month.”

“Actually, a few days ago, I took in two particularly good-looking refugees, a male and a female, both under 25. I assigned them to Aunt Hua, but maybe they didn’t come, and that woman was afraid I’d scold her, so she replaced them with two ugly ones…”

Bang—!

Suddenly, a gunshot interrupted the village chief.

The two stood up abruptly.

A man in black clothes ran in, shot in the right shoulder. It was Mr. Shang’s driver.

“Something’s happened, Mr. Shang! I saw Xu Qianyao, the captain of the Safety Shelter Rescue Team! He was wearing white robes just like the villagers!”

“I originally wanted to catch him, but who knew he had companions! They shot me!”

“There were 4 people in total! Two men and two women! One of the women was the Saintess you chose!”

Mr. Shang’s face turned grim, and he slapped the village chief: “You actually let official personnel in?!”

“I, I didn’t know…”

“Don’t let them leave the village alive! Otherwise, you won’t live either!”

With that, Mr. Shang frantically followed the driver to retreat.

Just as the village chief was about to go out and notify the villagers, he was suddenly muffled and dragged back into the house.

The next second, a dagger was plunged fiercely into his lower back.

Catching a glimpse of half of the girl’s face, the village chief’s eyes were filled with terror.

She, when did she come in… Jiang Fei, whose Invisibility Talisman had expired, cut a piece of flesh from the village chief’s body and stuffed it into his mouth.

“You’ve eaten so much human flesh, today you’ll taste your own.”

The village chief was terrified and in pain, trying hard to spit it out, but Jiang Fei used the hilt of the knife to forcefully shove the bloody piece of flesh down his throat.

Immediately after, she let go of the half-dead village chief, who was choking on the meat, and exchanged the knife for a machine gun before leaving the house.

Outside, it was already chaotic.

Villagers were rushing towards East of the village, holding weapons high, faint shouts could be heard.

“Catch them!”

“They are the ones who came to destroy the pure land!”

Bang, bang, bang!

Seeing Lu Yu trapped in a brick house by a group of armed villagers, Jiang Fei immediately took out and put on a bulletproof vest.

Riding a motorcycle she also took out, she rushed over, entering through the open iron gate.

“Get on!”

Jiang Fei strafed the villagers outside the house with the machine gun.

Lu Yu quickly got on the back seat, wrapping one arm around Jiang Fei’s waist.

Handing the machine gun to Lu Yu, Jiang Fei twisted the throttle and sped out, with him responsible for strafing the villagers attempting to approach.

“Where are Xu Qianyao and the others?”

Lu Yu: “Xu Qianyao stole Mr. Shang’s car and drove towards the village exit with Yin Jing and the others.”

“Xu Qianyao notified the main force, and they’ll be here in ten minutes at most.”

He was worried about his neighbor, which was why he separated from Xu Qianyao and came back to find her.

He hadn't expected the villagers to have hunting rifles hidden in every home, surrounding him.

Rumble—

The sound of a car driving suddenly came.

Accompanied by angry voices.

“It’s her! I recognize that motorcycle! She’s the one who stole our supplies in Taisong City!”

“Charge, brothers! Get our stuff back! Cut her into a thousand pieces!”

Jiang Fei was stunned.

How could the people from Taisong City be here?!

Through the rearview mirror, Jiang Fei saw an off-road vehicle chasing from behind, and the frenzied villagers.

Several people in the car leaned out of the windows, firing submachine guns.

Jiang Fei had to concentrate on dodging.

The motorcycle’s serpentine movements made it difficult for Lu Yu to aim at the car behind.

Seeing the off-road vehicle about to catch up, Jiang Fei didn’t care about anything else and took out two helmets specifically designed to protect against flashbangs from the Supermarket warehouse.

“One for each of us!”

Lu Yu looked in astonishment at the helmet that appeared out of thin air, his body reacting faster than his mind, helping Jiang Fei put hers on.

Immediately, he put on his helmet.

Jiang Fei took out a flashbang and threw it behind her.

The distance was too close; throwing a bomb might affect her.

Boom—!!!

A huge bang and a strong flash appeared simultaneously, followed by the sound of a collision from behind.

The off-road vehicle crashed into a brick house.

The people in the car’s eyes were stinging, and their ears were ringing, letting out painful wails.

The remaining villagers couldn’t keep up with the motorcycle on foot, and coupled with the effect of the flashbang, they staggered and fell as if drunk.

Successfully shaking off her pursuers, Jiang Fei rode straight to the village entrance.

Military trucks passed her, entering the village to deal with the villagers.

Xu Qianyao stood beside a black commercial car, his voice stern:

“Who allowed you to shoot?!”
