Chapter 133: Unusual Resilience

The sun has completely set and it is already night. From afar, the neon-lit city appears even more glamorous in the night rain, revealing a kind of decadent luxury.

"Where are we going?"

Lu Mingfei asked, his breathing a little hurried. Xia Mi was holding an umbrella for him from behind, and the part of her body that was in contact with him was wet and cold.

"Of course, into His Nibelungen."

Xia Mi looked up at the sky: "Brother, don't you remember? The last time you and Brother Chu entered Nibelungen, it was on the viaduct near Shilan Middle School."

"Of course I remember that we entered Odin's Nibelung from the viaduct last time."

Lu Mingfei was sweating on his forehead and wanted to cover his face in embarrassment. "But are we going to ride on the viaduct like this this time? Relying on a pair of feet to pedal a bicycle? If we are caught by the traffic police, they will tell the school!"

What made Lu Mingfei feel even more embarrassed was that the area on his back where Xia Mi pressed tightly against him actually felt a little unusual elasticity...

Isn't this guy that...

They got off the car at an intersection, next to which was an overpass that spiraled up to the city's highway. When they got off the car, Chen Wenwen's father handed them the only umbrella in the car and asked them to be careful on their way home so late.

Xia Mi agreed sweetly, and after the car drove away, she took Lu Mingfei's hand and turned around to pick up a Phoenix brand bicycle from the side of the road. The bicycle looked older than Lu Mingfei, and she shook it gently, making the body of the bicycle creak. There was even a bag of vegetables in the basket in front of the bicycle, and no one knew who had left it there and forgot to take it.

"It's not a good idea to just steal someone else's car, right?" Lu Mingfei asked.

Xia Mi was busy unlocking the door, and said confidently: "Brother, have you never learned Kong Yiji? What scholars do is not called stealing, it is called pilfering! And we are not stealing, we are borrowing! We will return it later."

With a "click", the U-shaped lock was removed by the little female thief, who turned it around in her hand, looking very proud.

"Okay, senior brother, you ride the bike, I'll sit behind you and hold an umbrella for you." Xia Mi sat on the back of the bike with her legs spread out, patting the wet bike seat, not caring at all that she was wearing a skirt today.

Lu Mingfei sighed, took out two hundred yuan from his wallet, thought for a moment, then took out another three hundred yuan, stuffed them all into the bag of vegetables, and locked it in place with a U-lock.

"Brother." Xia Mi blinked her eyes, her eyelashes covered with raindrops shining under the street lights, "You are such a good person!"

"Can you please not just tell a boy that you are a good person?" Lu Mingfei spread his legs and rode on the Phoenix brand bicycle that was probably older than him. "How do we get there?"

"Let's go up from the overpass!" Xia Mi leaned forward slightly, pressed her whole body against Lu Mingfei's back, and opened an umbrella over their heads, "Let's go!"

Then, it became like this, Lu Mingfei was panting and staring at the bicycle, while Xia Mi was sitting on the back seat and swinging her feet leisurely.

"How far is it to Odin's Nibelung?" Lu Mingfei asked.

"I don't know." Xia Mi tilted her head. "I just feel that the elemental turbulence around here is the most intense, so I think the entrance to Nibelungen is probably around here. Don't you have that guy's mark? Do you have any feelings?"

"No." Lu Mingfei shook his head.

“Then keep riding forward!” Xia Mi put her hands on Lu Mingfei’s shoulders and shook him, “Faster, faster, faster, go, go, go.”

The car body made a mournful creaking sound.

"Don't shake it, you bastard!"

"Then Senior Brother, hurry up and sprint. Junior Sister doesn't feel anything at all."

"Can you please stop saying such weird things? And you have to consider the life of this car!"

Suddenly, there was a "click" sound, followed by the sound of metal "ping-pong-pong" hitting the ground. A few seconds later, the overpass became quiet, no... dead silent, with only the white noise of the "clattering" rain scattered around.

Lu Mingfei was silent as he held the lonely bicycle handlebars, while Xia Mi suddenly knocked his head with his right hand, closed one eye and gently stuck out his tongue, trying to get away with it.

Lu Mingfei, who was not moved at all, decisively raised his hand and gave a dagger to the female thief Xiaolongnu, who was a head shorter than him.

"It hurts!" Xia Mi covered her head with one hand and pouted pitifully, "Brother, you are so cold!"

"I want you not to shake it!"

"Who knew this bike was so flimsy! I should have stolen a better one."

"Luckily you only stole a Phoenix. If you had stolen a Giant Merida, I really wouldn't have the money to compensate you."

"I didn't ask you to pay..." Xia Mi glanced at Lu Mingfei and curled her lips. "What should we do now?" Lu Mingfei asked.

Xia Mi raised her head and spun gracefully in a circle on the spot, her wet skirt dancing in the rain.

"Let's keep going forward." Xia Mi said, "I can feel that the center of the elemental turbulence is very close to us."

"Ok."

There was no need to ride a bike anymore. Lu Mingfei took the umbrella from Xia Mi. Xia Mi stood beside Lu Mingfei. As they walked step by step, their arms touched each other from time to time. It was wet and cold, but with some elasticity and warmth of each other's skin.

It was raining so heavily, and they had just been riding bicycles, so both of them were already soaked. The silk lining that Xia Mi wore inside fit tightly against her fair and smooth skin, outlining her beautiful collarbone and revealing the girl's clean flesh color.

Lu Mingfei suddenly remembered the contact just now and his heart began to beat rapidly.

However, when his eyes accidentally passed over a certain part of Xia Mi's body, Lu Mingfei calmed down again.

"How long will it take us to walk?" Lu Mingfei asked, "Will it take us all night?"

Xia Mi shrugged, looked up and smiled, "If I really have to go all night, will you accompany me, Senior Brother?"

"Forehead……"

Lu Mingfei turned his eyes away calmly to avoid Xia Mi's clear sight.

This guy... is getting better and better at pretending to be human, Lu Mingfei said in his heart.

“We’ve come this far. Even if it takes all night, I have no choice but to go with you. It’ll take a long time to go back anyway,” Lu Mingfei said.

“Hey, hey, hey.” Xia Mi looked at Lu Mingfei’s face with a wicked smile and poked Lu Mingfei’s waist with her arm, “Senior brother is so arrogant!”

"Bah, you're the tsundere! Your whole family is tsundere!"

……

Jiude Mai stood on the roof of the car and exhaled heavily.

The sunroof of the Volvo had already been completely cut open by her with a knife. She was now standing on the roof of the car, holding a Glock pistol in one hand and her knife in the other. The other knife and the spare magazine full of bullets were generously inserted in her waist.

The Deadpools around were as dense as ants, and the white mist separated the two sides like a protective shield.

The reason why the Deadpools didn't rush up immediately was because she had just replaced all the bullets in her pistol with alchemical mercury bullets. When the first batch of Deadpools rushed up, the bullets pushed out of the gun barrel shot into the group of Deadpools, and then were immediately evaporated into mercury vapor by the high temperature, temporarily stopping the Deadpools from advancing.

But Jiude Mai knew that the mercury vapor would not last long. On a rainy night, the rain would quickly wash away all the mercury, and then the deadpools would surround her again.

There are endless Deadpools in the Nibelungen, but the mercury bullets in your hand are limited.

She needs to find a way to break out during this brief respite.

"Only at times like this do I hate that my Word Spirit isn't a high-risk Word Spirit."

Mai closed her eyes, the cold rain hitting her smooth skin. She was using the rain to keep herself calm.

Only by keeping calm can we find a glimmer of hope in this desperate situation.

Mai adjusted her breathing.

Inhale, exhale, inhale, exhale...

After a few back and forths, Mai opened her eyes again, and her golden pupils reflected the Deadpools in front of her.

"Volvo, you have to be more stable. I trust you very much."

Mai tapped the steel roof beneath her feet with the tip of her knife and smiled.
