Feng Chen pressed on his thumping chest, holding his breath as he listened. When his eyes swept over the subordinates, he picked up on an unusual sight.
A-Dai was standing behind Chu Shi. Something gradually materialized around her forearm. It looked like a snake.
The snake’s appearance wasn’t very clear, becoming translucent from time to time. It flickered like a bad TV signal before recovering.
Just when Feng Chen thought it was just an accessory, the snake moved.
It slid off A-Dai’s forearm and sinuously climbed up Angus’ leg all the way to his chest. Then, it raised its upper body as it flicked its forked tongue at the man.
Angus was still talking normally as if he didn’t see the snake that was right up in his face. He even lowered his head and lit another cigarette, his forehead touching its forked tongue.
The bizarre sight made cold sweat drip down Feng Chen’s back.
He looked down at Yan Bubu, who was still crouched there, watching very attentively. He didn’t seem alarmed at all.
He gently patted Yan Bubu’s shoulder and whispered, “Let’s go.”
Yan Bubu nodded.
The two moved a half step to the side. Even though they barely made any sound, the translucent snake suddenly shifted in their direction. It slithered towards the boulder they were hiding behind.
The masked woman named A-Dai turned her head at the same time as the snake.
Human and snake seemed to be one.
“In that case, it should have been taken away by the Feng family young master.”
Chu Shi said before he spotted A-Dai’s shift. He immediately looked in that direction too.
Feng Chen stayed still and subconsciously held his breath. Yan Bubu noticed something was wrong and also stayed still.
It was quiet for a few seconds. Then the snake suddenly shot like an arrow at the boulder where they were hiding. A-Dai also drew her gun, pulling the trigger without hesitation.
Chunks of the boulder were blown away, debris falling everywhere. Feng Chen’s pupils shrank sharply. He grabbed Yan Bubu, who was about to hold his head and crouch, turned around and darted away.
In the dark night, he swerved from side to side as he ran. Although the shots kept firing, none of them connected. Small craters kept appearing beside him.
Vroom!
The bright headlights of the car banished all shadows from the desolate ruins, leaving the duo nowhere to hide.
After spotting Feng Chen, Angus tossed the cigarette butt and shouted, “Get him, that’s Feng Zaiping’s son!”

A-Dai readied her gun and ran after that snake, while Chu Shi and Angus immediately got into the car.

He clutched the straps of Yan Bubu’s overalls tightly. With his windbreaker slapping in the wind, he was just like a flexible leopard in motion.
At this time, he demonstrated amazing speed and explosive force, sliding down hills and ducking beneath wreckage. The piles of dirt he usually needed to climb over? He vaulted past them in one leap.
Although he was still carrying Yan Bubu, that relentless snake and A-Dai, surprisingly enough, couldn’t close the distance.
Yan Bubu watched as the boulder rapidly disappeared from sight. He occasionally even rose into the sky, only to fall down after a breath of weightlessness.
He knew they were being chased and was nervous and all, but he couldn’t help but think of the scene from cartoons where Binunu was hanging upside down from the front of a roller coaster.
So dizzy…
Binunu must have been dizzy too.
Bang, bang!
Two bullets were fired from the hovering tracked vehicle, piercing through the night straight for Feng Chen.
When Feng Chen heard the gunshots, he suddenly leaned back and slid across the ground on his knees. The bullets flew past above his head.
“Ouch!”
Yan Bubu, however, shouted at that moment.
As Feng Chen leaned back and bent over, his arms naturally followed, sending Yan Bubu close to the ground.
His nose was instantly sore from the impact and tears streaked down his cheeks.
“Are you okay?
“I’m fine.” Yan Bubu said weakly.
The speed of the hovercraft was too fast for Feng Chen to risk stopping. He bounced to his feet and continued to dart in the direction of the Western Union Army’s 2nd Battalion camp.
He was hiding from the Western Union Army until now, yes, but they were his only option now. Rushing into the camp right now could be their only chance to survive.
But the people in the car knew exactly what he was thinking. They kept firing their guns to the right so he was forced to go straight ahead and away from the camp.
A river came into sight, its wide, glimmering surface flowing quietly. Only now did Feng Chen abruptly realize he had run all the way to the banks of the Feitu River.
This was very far from the camp.
Feng Chen mentally cursed. There was no one around here and the terrain was flat. No matter how fast he could run, the hovercraft was faster.
Not to mention that his legs were already threatening to give out. He was near exhaustion and couldn’t run much longer.
Yan Bubu felt Feng Chen slowing down and his breathing grow ragged, so he struggled to turn and say to him, “Put me down, Young Master. I’m too heavy. Don’t mind me and run by yourself.”
Feng Chen ignored him. He looked back at the tracked car and A-Dai who were in hot pursuit. He grit his teeth and continued to run.
“Young, Young Master, put me down!” Yan Bubu tried to struggle free of his grip.
“Stop that.” Feng Chen snapped at him, “Don’t make things harder for me.”
Sure enough, Yan Bubu didn’t dare to move after hearing him say that. The hovercraft sped up on the flat, sandy shores and quickly caught up. There was less than 100m between them now.
Angus’ head popped out of the car window. He shouted, “Stop, Young Master Feng. We can talk things out.”
Feng Chen continued to flee like he didn’t hear. Seeing that the car was about to catch up, he began to consider jumping into the river when Yan Bubu exclaimed, “Young Master, the sand! The sand’s moving.”
Feng Chen couldn’t bother with him right now. After a series of quick calculations, he turned in the direction of the river.
However, Yan Bubu continued to squirm in his arms and nearly threw him off balance.
“I told you to stop moving.” Feng Chen panted and scolded angrily after stumbling.
“I didn’t move!” Yan Bubu’s voice was panicked, “It’s the sand, Young Master. The sand is moving around.”
The sand?
Only then did Feng Chen notice that the left side of the beach was constantly shifting, small piles of sand accumulating from time to time before instantly collapsing, as if there was something huge underground stirring it up like crazy.
He subconsciously stopped in his tracks. The people chasing them apparently also noticed the unusual state of the sand. The hovercraft didn’t dare to keep chasing. It slowly stopped at the edge of the bank. Angus and Chu Shi poked their heads out from the car window.
“See, the sand’s moving.” Yan Bubu said to Feng Chen.
Yet the beach regained its calm at that moment, as if nothing had ever happened.
A-Dai and that snake also caught up. They stood next to the hovercraft.
She gave Chu Shi a somewhat strange look, not understanding why they had stopped. Then she strutted towards Feng Chen and raised her gun.
“Stop!” Chu Shi felt like something was off about this place and immediately called out an order.
However, A-Dai continued on. “Don’t worry, Deacon. I’ll go and retrieve that thing for you.”
Like a lake blown by the wind, the beach started to ripple gently. Feng Chen’s feet slowly sank into the sand until his ankles were covered.
He didn’t dare to run, slowly pulling his feet out and shuffling to the side.
There were several meter-high power poles next to the beach. Something had obviously hit them, because they were bent at the base and lying diagonally on the sand.
He moved towards the poles while saying in a bare whisper, “You mustn’t move, ah.”
“I won’t.” Yan Bubu was still being held by the back, his limbs dangling in the air. His eyes were fixed on the approaching A-Dai and the dark barrel of the gun in her hand.
A-Dai’s gun slowly moved down to aim at Feng Chen’s chest. Yan Bubu glared at her fiercely, his breathing beginning to pick up.
He wanted to rush over and push A-Dai away, then chomp down hard on her wrist, but the thought of Feng Chen’s instructions held him back.
A-Dai held the gun in her right hand while reaching out Feng Chen with the left. “Young Master Feng, be good. I’ll let you live if you hand it over.”
Feng Chen quickly glanced at her feet and saw that the sand there was slowly sinking. “Okay. If you let us go, I’ll give it to you.”
A-Dai’s mouth quirked up alluringly as the poisonous snake standing with its head held high at her feet slowly flickered its forked tongue. “Young Master Feng really is precocious–“
Boom!
There were sudden muffled sounds from under the ground. A huge tremor came from under her feet.
A-Dai froze, the rest of the words stuck in her throat. Feng Chen took this moment to leap to the side and grab that pole.
A huge crack spanning the entire beach suddenly appeared, the surrounding sand trickling inside.
The ground beneath A-Dai’s feet fell away. When she dropped down, the snake next to her suddenly elongated, wrapping one end of itself around her waist and the other around the pole, leaving her suspended in the air.
The sand beneath them sank away with a calamitous sound. Feng Chen’s left arm tightened around the pole while he threw Yan Bubu upward with his right. He shouted, “Hold on!”
After flying through the air, Yan Bubu managed to straddle the pole with his arms and legs.
Feng Chen looked down at his feet, unable to see the bottom of the crack. However, something drilled in and out of its sand walls, making a cold shiver run down his spine.
On closer inspection, it was actually a crab larger than a basin. It had steel-like pincers adorned with sharp black spines that glowed coldly in the moonlight.
Yan Bubu could only frantically urge Feng Chen, “Come up quickly, ah. Young Master, come up quickly.”
Seeing those crabs rapidly scaling the broken walls, Feng Chen also rolled over and straddled the pole.
Your crab food! No, you’re crab food! Pfft! Thanks for the update 🤣❤️🤣🦀👀
Thanks for the update
Crabs are cute, in my opinion, but I am not sure about huge crabs
Thank you for your translation 💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗
Giant 🦀, horde of 🐀. What else would come next?
My first thought wasn’t even mutant crabs, it was ‘ oh no! coconut crabs!’ cause those things terrify me and i’m glad i’ve never seen one in person.
