"Brother Liu, is this really okay to do?"
Monkey looked around nervously, afraid someone might see them.
"What's not okay? We've already done it. Do you want to back out now?"
Brother Liu was drenched in sweat, his hands trembling as he held the woman.
"Come on, help me out, don't just stand there staring."
Brother Liu's stern command made Monkey quickly come over to hold the woman.
"Damn, why is this woman so heavy?"
Monkey gritted his teeth, almost crushed by the woman's weight.
"This is called good fortune, understand?"
Brother Liu let out a sigh of relief, took out a cigarette, and lit it. "Don't worry, this construction site has been abandoned for years. No one comes here."
"Alright, carry this woman inside."
Just as Brother Liu was about to lead Monkey deeper into the site, he suddenly narrowed his eyes and whispered, "Wait, Monkey, there's someone up ahead."
"Ah, someone?"
Monkey was drenched in cold sweat, so scared he could no longer hold the woman.
"You idiot, keep your voice down."
Monkey's clumsiness immediately annoyed Brother Liu.
"Brother Liu, where, where are the people? They, they're not here to catch us, are they?"
Monkey was terrified, his face turning pale.
"Idiot, how could the police know so quickly about what we just did?"
Brother Liu cautiously peeked out, using the wall for cover. The two of them looked into the distance, and their faces changed, their eyes filled with fear.
Dozens of meters away, two burly men were digging a hole, grunting with effort, their shovels throwing dirt high into the air at a rapid pace.
Next to where they were digging, there was a black nylon bag, and from the opening, a human hand was hanging lifelessly.
The situation was all too clear to Brother Liu and Monkey.
They were digging a grave to bury a body!
Brother Liu was shocked but also fell into deep thought.
They thought they were impressive for just robbing someone, but the people they encountered were even more ruthless, digging graves to bury bodies. Should they learn from them?
Brother Liu was stunned and deep in thought.
"Brother Liu, Brother Liu..."
Monkey shook Brother Liu hard, bringing him back to reality.
"What, what should we do?"
Monkey's face was filled with fear, clearly terrified by the sight of the grave being dug dozens of meters away.
"What do you think?"
Brother Liu tried to remain calm. "We should change the location. We can't ruin the good work of our peers."
"Right, right, let's go quickly."
Monkey didn't even want to deal with the woman on the ground anymore and was about to run, but Brother Liu grabbed him by the neck.
"Stupid Monkey, carry the woman."
"Okay."
Monkey remembered they still had their target on the ground and couldn't just abandon her.
Just as Monkey reached for the woman, the unconscious woman suddenly opened her eyes.
The next moment, her scream echoed throughout the entire construction site.
Brother Liu and Monkey looked at each other, wishing they could strangle the woman in that instant.
The two burly men were startled by the scream and stopped digging.
Without a word, they exchanged a glance, each pulling out a crude gun from their pockets and cautiously approaching the source of the scream.
It's over!
Brother Liu and Monkey, realizing the situation, quickly silenced the woman's scream and forced her back into unconsciousness. Then...
Through the gap in the wall, their sharp vision clearly showed that the two burly men were indeed drawn to the scream.
What was even more alarming was that they were carrying two crude guns.
Brother Liu and Monkey's bodies trembled, and they felt an urge to urinate.
It's said that when a person is extremely frightened, their entire body loses control, becoming stiff, slow, and terrified.
Even though they saw the two men approaching with guns, Brother Liu and Monkey's legs turned to jelly, their minds screaming to run, but their legs wouldn't listen.
We're dead...
The two men's minds flashed with this thought, and they despaired, hoping for divine intervention.
It seemed the gods heard their cries, and their fate took a turn at the crossroads.
The two burly men, who were approaching, suddenly sensed something was wrong and quickly turned their guns toward the construction site.
From there came a faint "whirring" sound, impossible to ignore, and it seemed to be getting closer.
What is it?
Frowning, the two men stood ready, their training showing as they crouched to reduce their target area, both hands on their guns, ready to shoot. They would fire immediately if anyone appeared.
But the next moment, they hesitated, no, they were shocked, their mouths wide open.
So wide that a piece of vegetable leaf stuck between their teeth was clearly visible, contrasting with their yellow teeth and the smell of garlic, making anyone feel nauseous.
What appeared from the other side was not a person, but a... helicopter?
What kind of joke is this?
Their minds couldn't process it, clearly because it was so unexpected.
"Whirring..."
The helicopter was painted black and, as it turned, slowly hovered in the air, about six or seven meters off the ground. The black camera underneath immediately caught their attention. A camera?
Not good, someone is controlling the helicopter to film?
Their reactions were quick, fingers ready to pull the triggers, but the hovering helicopter suddenly moved, like a leopard springing from a standstill. It was fast, precise, and moved at fifteen meters per second, making the two gunshots miss.
Aiming and firing again was too late. The helicopter flew overhead, and two orange beams flashed from its underside, hitting the two men's foreheads from a distance of about ten meters with pinpoint accuracy!
High-energy pulse lasers, capable of penetrating a one-centimeter steel plate, hitting the center of a human forehead, would have what effect?
The two men, with a fearless experimental spirit, vividly demonstrated the power of the laser.
In less than a second, the high-energy pulse laser cleanly and sharply penetrated the forehead to the back of the head, vaporizing brain tissue and bone, and exited the back of the head, hitting the ground and producing a cloud of smoke.
If someone were to approach the two men at that moment, they would see a perfect, circular hole in their foreheads, through which the scene behind them was visible.
A truly astonishing sight.
Of course, the prerequisite was to ignore the peculiar smell of burned protein.
"Bang."
"Bang."
The two men fell to the ground, dying without any pain, silently going to heaven, or rather, hell.
The helicopter slowly descended, the camera capturing the two men on the ground, then suddenly shot toward the opposite wall.
But behind the wall, there were only footprints in the dirt, no one in sight.
Finally regaining control of their bodies, Brother Liu and Monkey carried the woman and ran for hundreds of meters, then dropped her and continued running until they reached home, where they lay down, panting.
"Brother Liu, what, what was that thing?"
Seeing the helicopter distract the two men, they had run away. Now, they realized something was off.
"Damn it, Monkey, you can't tell anyone about this, not a soul, understand?"
Brother Liu was still panting, his heart still racing. The men with guns were either drug dealers or real underworld figures, people they couldn't easily tangle with.
"Brother Liu, don't worry, I won't tell anyone."
Monkey wasn't stupid; he knew this was something he couldn't tell anyone.
The two men were troubled, and Chen Yang, several kilometers away, was also troubled.
He didn't know why his right hand had taken control and killed the two men.
After easily killing the two men, his right hand simply said, "The practical effect is quite good."
That was its reason, a small reason that made it move its tentacles and kill two people from several kilometers away!
Like a human casually stepping on two ants, it didn't even feel a hint of guilt.
Chen Yang felt a chill, once again deeply understanding the coldness of his right hand.
What Chen Yang didn't know was that in a week, he would experience the right hand's coldness even more deeply, regretting bitterly why he hadn't cherished the precious peace he had now.
