Lu Shu’s legs went numb when countless men in black swarmed towards him.
It would have been much easier had the team only consisted of Practitioners. After all, they were restrained from using flying daggers. But now, there were Metahumans among them too!
There were so many types of Metahumans and who the hell knew what power they had awakened to?
Lu Shu’s impressive defense and attack abilities were instantly rendered useless.
“Run!” Lu Shu turned and ran immediately. As the saying went, a wise man knows when to retreat. For God’s sake, how could the pair defeat sixty plus people? But when Lu Shu turned, Chen Zuan was already more than twenty meters away.
Despite the head start, Chen Zuan’s speed was no rival to Lu Shu’s. After merely two seconds, Lu Shu had overtaken Zuan.
The little fatty was flustered, “Save me, Brother Shu!”
In fact, Lu Shu’s speed could easily allow him to escape from his Practitioner pursuers.
Yet, right at the moment when he thought he could escape easily, he heard the roar of engines from the direction he was running in. What the!
Lu Shu immediately hastened to the left, way ahead of Chen Zuan. Honestly, Lu Shu was unwilling to leave him behind. Although the little fatty was indeed fat, his weight was almost insignificant for a Class C Metahuman of strength type.
However, when Lu Shu was about to return and save the little fatty, to his surprise, those people ran past Chen Zuan without even a second look at him!
Clearly he was the sole target!
Chen Zuan suddenly realized it too.
Catching his breath, he burst into laughter, “Hahaha, take care, Brother Shu!”
In fact, they were both aware that once they were caught, they might be beaten, but they were not in life-threatening danger. Thus, Chen Zuan actually wanted to see how Lu Shu would be beaten, since in his mind Lu Shu had never been whacked by anybody before.
After the little fatty stood still, another fleet arrived. Instantly, sixty plus people got off the cars and when they saw Chen Zuan, they were surprised, “Where’s the other one?”
Someone listened carefully, “They are heading south based on the footsteps. We are a bit late.”
People in black masks exchanged confused looks, “So?”
“How about we beat this kid up and report back?”
“Beat him!”
Chen Zuan turned and started running at his full strength. What the hell were they doing?!
As a matter of fact, the Heavenly Network experts in the Capital were relatively freer than those in other places, because no external organizations dared to cause trouble in somewhere so central which was even helmed by Nie Ting himself.
…
Lu Shu ran in between the buildings like a nimble squirrel. After entering the housing area, Lu Shu and his pursuers kept their actions quiet so as to not disturb the residents.
But not all were asleep at this time. Before the eyes of a housing estate security guard, Lu Shu sprang to his feet and jumped over the fence. The guard was dumbfounded. It was his first time to see someone jump that high.
But before he returned from his shock, another sixty plus people queued up to jump inside…
The guard gasped in disbelief. What’s going on?!
Call the police! Now!
But once he took out his phone, Lu Shu had jumped out over another estate wall, followed by the huge group of people. In the blink of an eye, they were all gone.
The guard hesitated for a long time. What should he tell the police on the phone? Say, there were over sixty supermen chasing another superman, and when he was asked about their whereabouts, he would answer that they had just come in and gone out again…
It sounded unconvincing even to himself.
Puzzled, Lu Shu noticed that no matter how well he hid, those people always knew where to find him. Did they have some special power?
To his horror, he suddenly realized that the monitoring cameras were all following his motions. The stationary ones were those without the function of being controlled remotely.
On a second thought, Lu Shu leaped onto the rooftop. As compared to ground level, there were fewer surveillance devices on top.
He was very certain that if he were caught, not only would he be given a good thrashing, but all his money would be taken away too. If that happened, his three days of hard work would all go down the drain? And his stone smashing would be futile?
The thought provoked Lu Shu. No one could steal his money!
Initially, he planned to draw Hao Zhichao’s group to him for a good robbery. But now, he himself was facing the risk of being robbed. Lu Shu could not stand it.
Unable to catch Lu Shu, Hao Zhichao and the rest were upset too, “Disperse yourselves into tens. But don’t go too far. Don’t underestimate this kid!”
Everyone already knew how powerful the kid was from Hao Zhichao’s black and blue face two days ago. In any case, Hao Zhichao was ranked one of the top few in Class C!
After the long, aimless pursuit, Lu Shu returned to the starting point. At a junction, he saw Chen Zuan running towards him from his right. Overjoyed, Zuan shouted, “Save me, Brother Shu!”
Haha, seeing the swarm of black men behind him, Lu Shu felt more at ease. He immediately threw the little fatty over his shoulder and continued his escape in a hurry. Chen Zuan was suddenly shrouded in a sense of security. After all, an unsteady ride was much more desirable than being beaten up!
Chen Zuan exclaimed on Lu Shu’s shoulder, “Brother Shu, you are such a good bro-o-o-o… Those people were so sha-a-a-ameless. So many of them are a-a-a-a-after me alone!”
The little fatty was stammering due to being jolted.
Suddenly, Lu Shu’s attention was attracted by a roadside building. There must be a better plan than running forever! Furthermore, judging from the decrease in the number of pursuers behind them, Hao Zhichao’s plan of interception was clear.
To tell the truth, no matter how powerful he was, it was impossible for Lu Shu to fight his way out of ten Practitioners immediately. Once he was delayed, he would instantly be besieged by over a hundred enemies!
At that moment, a tinge of warmth welled up in Lu Shu’s heart at the sight of the incandescent light in that building. Unexpectedly, there was still someone on duty at this time in the police station!
With the little fatty on his shoulder, Lu Shu dashed inside, “Excuse me! You may not believe me but there are over hundred people out there waiting to beat me up…”
