Chapter 643: A Smart Woman
Outside the perimeter of Haosheng Hotel.
Xu Lina sat on the roof of a vehicle, looking somewhat bored. Her beautiful face and alluring figure gleamed under the sunlight.
Only the cold expression on her face remained, but for some people, a Xu Lina like this was nothing short of fatal temptation.
Her long legs were propped against the car window, while the red tail behind her head twitched restlessly.
In the past, a Xu Lina like this would definitely have drawn a few sneaky glances from survivors.
But now, no one dared to sneak a peek at Xu Lina.
Not even a sideways glance.
Despite her seemingly calm demeanor, only that tail revealed her true inner thoughts at this moment.
Time was running out. In a little while, the sun would set, and darkness would envelop all of Xi City.
By then, the Anomalies in Xi City would enter their active period, making the city even more dangerous.
And yet, from Haosheng Hotel, there was still no feedback at all.
Although not many survivors had followed the convoy here, the anxiety on everyone’s faces was palpable.
So many Superhumans had entered that hotel, yet not a single one had come out. It was impossible not to be afraid and worried.
What’s more, the sun was about to set.
Anyone who wasn’t an idiot knew exactly what would happen here then.
Finally, one survivor couldn’t hold it in any longer: “Sister Lina, how about we head back first!”
Hearing someone finally speak up, the others all stopped their conversations and turned to look at the one who had spoken.
Xu Lina’s pupils froze for a moment, then she turned her head to look at the man.
When this man saw the six pupils in Xu Lina’s eyes, his heart trembled.
But thinking about the terror of Xi City at night, he gritted his teeth and pressed on.
“Sister Lina, Mr. Chen and the others are all Superhumans. They’ll definitely be fine inside Haosheng Hotel!”
“We’re just ordinary people. If the sun goes down and something happens in Xi City, we…”
Xu Lina’s six pupils began to rotate slowly, and the aura around her shifted.
The man clenched his jaw: “Sister Lina, we won’t survive at all then! I’m begging you!”
When the man saw Xu Lina’s six pupils rotating, his body started trembling slightly.
Suddenly, the man’s body stiffened as if hit by a freezing curse. He looked up in disbelief at the stunningly beautiful face opposite him.
Every time he saw that face, this man would marvel inwardly at how such a femme fatale could exist in this world.
But now, that beautiful face was staring straight at him.
Blood dripped from his chest down a red tube onto the ground, forming a small pool of crimson.
Xu Lina’s blood-red tail had pierced straight through the man in front of her.
Entering through his chest, exiting from his back.
Everyone around was struck silent.
No one had expected that just for offering a suggestion, this man would be killed by Xu Lina without a moment’s hesitation.
They realized once again that for a Superhuman to kill an ordinary person was no different from crushing an ant.
Xu Lina’s red tail lifted slightly, hoisting the man’s body high into the air.
With a flick of her tail, like tossing away trash, she flung the corpse flying.
The body skidded several meters down the street before finally stopping as it slammed into the curb.
Xu Lina didn’t waste words. With her six-pupiled eyes, she looked at everyone around her.
“Anyone else want to leave? You’ll end up just like him!”
Having said that, Xu Lina crossed her long legs in a graceful gesture and resumed staring at Haosheng Hotel, exactly as before.
The tail behind her head, even redder than before, was completely clean of any bloodstains.
Xu Lina didn’t bother telling these people any nonsense like, “Without the Superhumans, you’d all be dead by now.”
She simply used her actions to make her stance clear.
The reason for such a brutal act.
First, Xu Lina’s lifespan was visibly shortening. Although she never openly mentioned it, only she knew the burning anxiety within her heart.
Even an ant clings to life, let alone someone as alive as Xu Lina!
If there’s a chance to live, no one wants to die!
Second, this man’s words were highly inflammatory. His simple remarks had already made the people around him restless and eager to leave.
If it were Chen Ye and the others standing here, this man would never dare utter a single word.
But here, it was her—the weakest Superhuman of the Fair Convoy.
These people seemed to think they could slight her just a little, which was why someone dared to jump out and question her decision.
This kind of spark had to be nipped in the bud immediately.
This man didn’t step forward early or late, but chose this exact moment to come out. If Xu Lina believed he had no other agenda, she wouldn’t believe it for a second.
What’s more…
This man had seemed to come into contact with people from the Shepherd Convoy before.
Third, Xu Lina felt that if Chen Ye were in this situation, he’d probably handle it the same way, so she just handled it like that.
Xu Lina gazed toward Haosheng Hotel, silently praying in her heart.
Mr. Chen, are you still okay?
Even if everyone else died, as long as Mr. Chen was alive, that would be good enough!
God bless, let Mr. Chen live!
In Xu Lina’s eyes, the life or death of others didn’t matter.
As long as Chen Ye was alive, that was fine.
That was because Xu Lina had invested the most in Chen Ye, and her relationship with him was the most complicated.
She had even placed a certain chance of survival on Chen Ye.
Earlier, telling Chen Ye that she could only live until thirty was also her hope that Chen Ye might find some way.
If Chen Ye died, her loss would be the greatest.
As for whether there were any other reasons…
Only this cold, long-legged mature woman knew for herself.
“You woman, you look so good, but I never expected you to be so ruthless and merciless!”
Just then, a centaur stepped out from the corner of the street.
It was Boss Ma from the Shepherd Convoy.
At this moment, Boss Ma had several wounds of varying sizes all over his body, with blood of all colors staining him heavily.
There were even vengeful spirits circling in the void before and behind the centaur, baring their claws.
At the same time, in the shadows all around the street, indistinct figures lurked.
Their green, glowing eyes sent chills down anyone’s spine.
Behind Boss Ma, a man in a hoodie silently appeared.
The Shepherd Convoy’s Breeder Sequence 4—Zhan Lei.
Seeing this, the survivors of the Fair Convoy bristled like startled cats, grabbing whatever weapons they could to brace themselves.
Xu Lina showed no sign of panic. She merely glanced at the two and said coolly, “Are you planning to seize Sunset Avenue while Mr. Chen and the others are away?”
Boss Ma took a few steps forward on his four horse legs, grinning, “You woman, you’re not dumb!”
“If we wanted to take this place, what would you do?”
Xu Lina didn’t hesitate, answering directly, “I’ll give it to you!”
Boss Ma was taken aback: “You’re not even going to put up a fight?”
The other survivors of the Fair Convoy were also stunned, staring at Xu Lina. A few even had angry expressions on their faces.
Clearly, they hadn’t expected Xu Lina to answer like that. Saying something like that was practically betraying the Fair Convoy.
Xu Lina didn’t even look at Boss Ma. She only left him with a beautiful side profile and a few strands of black hair.
“I’m all alone. There’s no way I can beat you!”
“If you want to take it, I can’t stop you!”
“If Mr. Chen can’t come out, I’m even less able to stop it!”
“If you don’t take this place, some other convoy will never let such a fat prize go.”
“Giving it to you is better than giving it to someone else! After all, we’re pretty familiar with each other.”
“If Mr. Chen and the others come out, even if you’re unwilling, you’ll have to cough it back up!”
“So, no matter what I do, I can’t change the final outcome of this!”
Hearing this from Xu Lina, Boss Ma was momentarily taken aback, then a look of admiration crossed his face.
“Impressive, impressive. No wonder you’re Chen Ye’s woman. That brain of yours… tsk tsk…”
“But you got one thing wrong. Even if Chen Ye and his crew come out, they won’t be a match for us!”
When Xu Lina heard Boss Ma call her “Chen Ye’s woman,” her brow twitched slightly, though whether it was joy or sorrow was unclear.
No one could decipher what that expression on her face meant.
Xu Lina continued coolly, “Miss Sun’s Sword Immortal Sequence 4 is evenly matched with Miss Jiang, and Mr. Chen is about to break through to Sequence 4 anytime!”
The subtext was clear: the Shepherd Convoy had two Sequence 4s.
The Fair Convoy would soon have two Sequence 4s as well.
What’s more, our people outnumber yours!
Boss Ma’s eyelids flickered. He looked down at the man Xu Lina had killed and sighed, “We did have some contact with this guy before, just asked a few questions. There was no need for you to kill him!”
Xu Lina didn’t respond.
Seeing that Xu Lina wasn’t going to answer, Boss Ma had no intention of continuing the conversation. He turned around and left with the sound of clopping hooves.
Originally, he had planned to swallow up Sunset Avenue while the Fair Convoy people were all stuck inside Haosheng Hotel.
But Xu Lina’s words had derailed his plan.
Yeah, if Chen Ye and the others couldn’t come out, this place would eventually belong to the Shepherd Convoy anyway.
None of the other convoys had the strength of the Shepherd Convoy.
If Chen Ye and his crew did come out, they’d have to give it back anyway.
This clever woman was not only ruthless but also smart. As for her thickness of skin… well, that was still unknown.
A person who was ruthless, clever, and shameless, even if not particularly strong, was still a tough nut to crack.
With just a few words from Xu Lina, Boss Ma had been talked out of his plan to occupy Sunset Avenue.
Meanwhile, inside Haosheng Hotel…
Chen Ye was already standing outside Room 22.
All he had to do was reach out his hand, and he could push open the door to this room.
“Are you all ready?”
Through the Bluetooth earbuds came Chen Ye’s voice, slightly breathless.
