The woman stood against the wind, her demeanor cold and indifferent, exuding a latent aura of evil power that suggested she was no ordinary individual.
She wore a short coat that left her navel and lower back exposed, her snow-white skin contrasting sharply with the black fabric. Upon closer inspection, one could see a tattoo on her lower back—intricate patterns that mirrored those on her left arm.
To Xiao Qiang, it resembled serpentine designs. He observed her with a cold gaze, silently judging that she bore a striking resemblance to a Beautiful Serpent.
Though she could not clearly see his face, she felt the chilling dominance radiating from him, as sharp as a blade, which sent shivers down her spine. Finally meeting his gaze, she found eyes as cold as the night, glimmering with a piercing light akin to that of a Cold Star. She involuntarily shuddered but forced herself to remain composed, her eyes flashing with a cold and sinister energy as she gathered her strength in preparation.
Their eyes locked, both pairs revealing an undercurrent of murderous intent. Xiao Qiang assessed his opponent's background in silence; his sharp gaze swept around for any unusual movements. Seeing none, he quickened his pace.
The woman, seeing him advance, refused to back down. A flicker of malice flashed in her eyes as she agilely twisted her petite waist like a nimble water snake and charged towards Xiao Qiang.
Bare-handed? Xiao Qiang noted that aside from the distracting sight of her bouncing curves as she approached, she bore no visible weapons.
Puzzled by this, Xiao Qiang slowed his steps, feeling somewhat overconfident. His offensive weakened... In the brief moment of hesitation, she had already closed in on him. With a flick of her fingers, her claws extended like hooks... A sharp pain sliced through the air accompanied by the sound of tearing fabric.
Xiao Qiang was taken aback and quickly shifted his stance, ducking just in time to evade her other hand's grasp... As he dodged, he couldn't help but feel a surge of fear—he had narrowly avoided having his neck caught.
Having saved his neck, there was no time to assess the injury on his arm. Confident that he could subdue this woman's arrogance in no time, Xiao Qiang smirked inwardly. No longer hesitating because she was a woman, he extended his form and launched a series of punches and kicks with overwhelming momentum, pressing forward relentlessly.
Under Xiao Qiang's fierce assault, she could only barely defend herself and was utterly unable to counterattack.
If this continued without finding an opening in his defenses, defeat was only a matter of time. Anxious and flustered, her attacks became chaotic and disorganized as she retreated under pressure. In less than half a cup of tea's worth of time, she was drenched in sweat, her face pale as fog began to rise above her head!
With one final strike, Xiao Qiang pressed forward without mercy but did not intend to take her life; instead, he seized her neck at a critical point.
"If you want to kill me, then do it. Stop dragging this out," she said with a face ashen as death, eyes half-closed in an expression of righteous resignation.
"Who are you? Who is your master?" Xiao Qiang would not casually eliminate an unknown adversary (underestimating could lead to dire consequences).
"I have no master; I am a Wanderer." The Wanderer—alone and abandoned since childhood! Similar to an orphan.
"Female Waverunner?" This was the first time Xiao Qiang had encountered such a thing, and he couldn't help but chuckle to himself. He released his grip on her neck and turned to leave.
To his surprise, it seemed she was deliberately provoking him. Seeing him dismiss her, she appeared quite angry, suddenly raising her finger as if to harm herself...
Hearing a commotion behind him, Xiao Qiang quickly turned around—staring in shock at her.
Why would she want to commit suicide? Blood was flowing freely from her wrist.
"What are you...?" He rushed forward a few steps, half-kneeling as he cradled her head, his eyes wide with concern.
"...It's none of your business... Let me die..."
"Absolutely not. I won't let you die in front of me." As he spoke, Xiao Qiang tore off part of his shirt sleeve with a swift motion and quickly wrapped it around her bleeding wrist. Without hesitation, he scooped her up and carried her away.
In the car, the wind was restless. Seeing Xiao Qiang carrying that woman made him feel uneasy, but he couldn't express his frustration. The woman in his arms looked as if she was enjoying the attention, stirring a mix of emotions within him.
"You go check on her in the back..." To his surprise, the wind huffed as he got out of the car and shot an irritated glance at the seemingly enchanting woman with her pale face before sitting down next to her.
Noticing her feigned weakness and sickly demeanor, he couldn't help but whisper, "Who are you?"
Faced with his question, she ignored him completely and eventually closed her eyes as if pretending to sleep.
Damn it, she's quite good at enjoying herself! The wind had experienced a similar transition from adversary to close friend before, but that was driven by a desire to understand more about him. He never expected this shameless woman to be overflowing with sympathy or to be mimicking his previous methods to garner Xiao Qiang's pity.
Reluctantly following Xiao Qiang's orders, the wind kept an eye on the Seductive Woman's injuries and bleeding status.
The blood loss was concerning; it was a serious issue that worried Xiao Qiang greatly.
Blood held a deadly allure for Abnormal Humanoids. Regardless of whether they were high or low-tier Abnormal Humanoids, they desperately needed blood...
The bandage on the wrist was made from the torn sleeve of the Seductive Woman. Feng felt a knot in his stomach, his heart racing with discomfort, yet he had no choice but to face the situation. Just then, Xiao Qiang caught sight of a terrifying scene in the rearview mirror.
A dark wave of Abnormal Humanoids charged recklessly toward them, some leaping from hidden doors along the street, while others crawled out from the sewers. They were everywhere, surrounding them from all sides.
They must have caught the scent of blood from the Strange Woman's wrist. The light was fading, but there was still enough visibility to see. Some of the Abnormal Humanoids, smoking as they moved, hurriedly sought refuge in the shadows, pitifully watching as the car sped past.
There was no time to stop; they could only accelerate. Xiao Qiang slammed on the gas pedal, pushing the speed from 80 to 120 miles per hour. The car shot forward like a meteor, buildings flashing by in a blur as they shook off a large group of Abnormal Humanoids. However, more of them appeared ahead, these intelligent creatures quickly adapting their strategy to block the vehicle.
A loud bang echoed from the roof as an Abnormal Humanoid leaped onto it. Then came a plume of smoke and a chilling scream as it ignited.
Feng glanced around anxiously; more Abnormal Humanoids were closing in, creating a dire situation that filled the air with tension. His heart pounded violently against his chest as he stole a glance at the Seductive Woman, who seemed detached and serene, lost in a feigned slumber.
These bloodthirsty Abnormal Humanoids were clearly after her. Suddenly, Feng felt an uncontrollable urge to throw her out of the car and let the creatures tear her apart.
"Don't be impulsive," Xiao Qiang said urgently after noticing Feng's expression in the rearview mirror. The wheels rolled over an Abnormal Humanoid, producing a clumsy grinding sound that hindered their speed.
"Is there any waterway nearby?" With more and more Abnormal Humanoids blocking their path ahead, a massive shadow loomed over District A5 and weighed heavily on Xiao Qiang's heart. He wasn't too worried about himself; his concern lay with the two women in the car—delicate and vulnerable—who would face unimaginable horror if those sharp-clawed Abnormal Humanoids got hold of them.
