Chapter 498: Killing Through the Expressway

"Holy shit!! The car behind was smashed to pieces by his punch?!?"

In the only remaining car, the killer in the passenger seat saw the scene in the rearview mirror, and his eyeballs almost popped out of their sockets.

"Damn it... so there really is a Superman in this world?!"

"Then are we still chasing?"

"Chase my ass! The savings are already gone! Do you want to lose your life here too??"

"Quick! Turn the wheel! Change the road!"

"This is the expressway! Where is there another road?!"

"Then turn around!! I'd rather drive against traffic than continue forward!"

The two saw the fate of the other cars and panicked instantly. Even though they had once been a famous overseas killer combination, they were scared out of their wits at this moment, only thinking about turning around and leaving this ghost place quickly.

However, before they could slow down and turn around, the rear window suddenly lowered automatically...

Buzz—

"Why did you open the window?"

"I didn't open it... It opened by itself."

The killer in the passenger seat was about to say something when something like a black bird flashed past the rearview mirror instantly. At the same time, the driver killer pressed the switch, slowly raising the rear window.

As the rear window closed tightly, the roaring wind finally stopped, and the car cabin became quiet.

"We don't seem to need to turn around, we're two hundred meters from exiting the expressway!" The driver suddenly saw the sign in the distance, and his eyes lit up.

“……”

"It's a good thing that Superman didn't chase after us. If he wants to protect Su Zhiwei, he definitely won't chase us off the expressway... We should have escaped a disaster."

“……”

"What's the meaning of you not talking??"

“……”

The killer driving spoke unhappily. He was about to turn his head to curse something when his peripheral vision swept across the rearview mirror between the two seats, and he suddenly froze in place.

A figure in a blood-stained brown trench coat was sitting calmly in the middle of the back seat, like a passenger hitching a ride.

The two killers: "..."

Dead silence in the car.

[Audience Expectation +3]

In this dead silence, the driver swallowed his saliva. Seeing the sign to exit the expressway getting closer and closer, he silently turned on the right turn signal and began to turn the steering wheel to exit the expressway amidst the "tick-tock" sound...

"Keep driving," Chen Ling said lightly.

The driver shuddered, immediately straightened the steering wheel, and bit the bullet to continue driving forward.

Chen Ling looked at his trembling thighs and said slowly:

"Why are you driving so slowly? Weren't you driving quite fast just now?"

The driver shuddered all over. "...Buddy, there might be a misunderstanding between us..."

"Weld the gas pedal to the floor for me," Chen Ling said calmly. "If I get too far from the car in front later, it'll be troublesome for me to go back."

"...Alright."

The driver stepped on the gas pedal to the end, and a powerful push-back feeling rose. Amidst the roar of the engine, the air fell into dead silence again.

"I ask, you answer," Chen Ling played with the boning knife in his hand. The cold light of the blade constantly flickered across the corners of their eyes, scaring them into twitching eyelids.

"You... you say."

"Who sent you?"

"It's a middleman called [Vulture]. He posted a bounty for someone, saying he wanted to deal with a woman named Su Zhiwei..."

"Is he in the cars just now?"

"No, he's not. He's just responsible for posting bounties for others; he rarely takes action himself."

"Besides your cars, are there other killers?"

"The person who posted the bounty this time is very generous, and many people are rushing to Gusu... We are the first batch to arrive... There are about a dozen more later, but I guess they won't arrive until tonight."

The two killers honestly spilled the beans. Chen Ling sat in the back seat, lost in thought.

The person who posted the bounty should be Nie Yu, no doubt... But Chen Ling didn't expect the other party to act so quickly. If it weren't for him and Yang Xiao arriving early, no matter how Su Zhiwei escaped, she wouldn't have survived tonight.

"How many are left tracking?"

"..." The killer in the passenger seat swallowed his saliva nervously. "Just the two of us left... The others were all killed by you..."

Chen Ling nodded slightly.

"Pull over and stop."

Hearing this, the two were stunned for a moment, and then joy appeared in their eyes simultaneously. Chen Ling didn't kill them like before, making them feel like they had picked up their lives!

The driver didn't hesitate at all, turned the steering wheel, moved toward the emergency lane, and soon stopped.

"Buddy, then we..."

"Turn on the hazard lights."

"Ah? Oh..."

Although the driver was a bit confused, he still pressed the hazard light switch. Two red lights flashed rhythmically around the car, clearly visible even from a distance.

After stopping in an emergency and turning on the hazard lights, the killer in the passenger seat was about to say something else when a pitch-black muzzle was raised calmly from the back seat...

Bang bang—!

Two gunshots rang out in succession, and blood mixed with brain matter splashed on the inside of the windshield, almost covering the surrounding windows.

The two killers stared in shock, their lives already extinguished, slumped awkwardly in their chairs. The driver had slammed headfirst into the center of the steering wheel, causing the car's horn to blare in a continuous, droning wail.

Bzzzzzz—

The piercing sound of the horn echoed across the highway, and thick blood pooled onto the ground from the door seams... A figure calmly opened the back door. The hem of a brown trench coat swept over the pool of blood. He reached up and tore at his chin, and the blood-stained coat instantly looked brand new.

The figure holstered his pistol and, amidst the flashing hazard lights, gradually vanished into the end of the highway... Behind him, thick, rolling smoke rose from the wreckage of the vehicles.

……

"He... he..."

Yao Qing gripped the steering wheel nervously, casting a shocked glance at the rearview mirror.

Just moments ago, they had witnessed with their own eyes through the mirror as Chen Ling blew up two cars and shattered another with a single punch. As the last vehicle gradually pulled over to the side, Chen Ling’s figure completely disappeared from their field of vision.

Yao Qing had considered pulling over to wait for Chen Ling, but remembering the man’s strict instructions to keep driving at this speed, he didn't stop, continuing to floor the accelerator and race forward.

Even Su Zhiwei and Yang Xiao, who had seen Chen Ling fight before, were utterly stunned by the sight of him violently carving his way through the highway... After all, blowing up a monster with a single shot in the forest and smashing a car with one punch on a highway were two completely different levels of visual impact.

"Dr. Su, surely you believe him a bit more now?" Yang Xiao said helplessly.

Su Zhiwei’s expression was incredibly complex.

"It’s a good thing Director Chen isn't here to kill me..."

Just as the two were speaking, a figure dropped from above onto the roof of the car, opened the back door, and slipped inside as quietly as a ghost.

Chen Ling closed the door, brushed the dust off his coat, and said calmly:

"All the eyes have been removed... We can head straight to the museum now."
