Mo Tiangen was busy fighting with the owl. When he heard Ji Dong calling him, he yelled out and took a short break from his struggle, “I’m coming!”
His main job was that of a regular high school biology teacher. Before today, in the entirety of his twenty-seven year-old life, the largest bird he had ever brought under control was the big white goose killed in his hometown during the new year. Although he was inexperienced, even if the Buddha stood blocking his way, he would slaughter Buddha right away. The imposing manner in which he wielded his shovel firmly kept the giant owl at a safe distance away.
Teacher Dagen whacked the owl with a shovel and swung violently.
He became more courageous as he fought more and refused to give up. Both sides came and went and, and the fight was neck-and-neck.
Now that they were finally leaving, Mo Tiangen naturally didn’t want to continue the fight with the birdman.
It was, however, not as simple to get rid of the giant owl.
Mo Tiangen had been preoccupied with this thought for a brief second and at the very next moment his shovel missed the giant owl.
The enormous bird’s claws brushed the edge of the shovel, grasped his shoulder, quickly fluttered its wings, and tried to pull him into the air forcefully, but it failed to do so since the Teacher Dagen weighed a good 150 kilograms.
“Fucking hell!”
Mo Tiangen’s garments were punctured by the razor-sharp claws, and the barbs were buried in his skin. He screamed in agony, clenched his teeth and turned the shovel upside down, stabbing the owl’s big and furry belly with the shovel’s sharpest point!
“Screech!”
The owl cried out in pain, abandoned its prey and darted into the air like an arrow, as if its tail was on fire.
The door opened immediately. Ji Dong popped out his head and held his hand for Brother Dagen, “Come on!”
As soon as Mo Tiangen grabbed Ji Dong’s arm and stepped into the car with one foot in and the other still on the ground, he heard the other party yell, “Drive!”
When the girl in the driver’s seat heard the command, she gritted her teeth and stomped down on the accelerator.
The truck sped out like a wild horse.
“Hey, fuck- hey wait- !”
As the truck started, his second foot had just left the ground and he had no place to place his feet. He could only fly with the help of inertia, “Do you want to kill me?!!”
On the opposite side, Ji Dong fastened Brother Jie’s rope to the truck. The rope was stretched to its breaking point the minute the truck took off.

The window’s glass was like a zipper pushed open and abruptly exploded in the direction of rope tension with a harsh sound.

And then, with a ‘click’, the plastic window frame of the vent fan that Brother Jie was trapped in cracked.
Brother Jie’s left shoulder slid forward from the tremendous pull and dislocated his shoulder instantaneously.
The next second, Brother Jie flew out of the window of the vent fan, his upper body inside the truck while his lower body was still on the ground, being dragged by the truck as it left Walmart.
“Come on, come on, come on!”
Mo Tiangen poked his head out from the rear seat, one hand holding his bloodied shoulder and the other slapping the back of the driver’s seat. “Drive faster beauty! Come on hurry!”
He saw numerous black shadows flying out of the shattered red dome of the supermarket and following their automobile in the car’s inverted mirror.
The girl behind the wheel was drenched in cold sweat and her palms had become clammy as she struggled to keep her grip on the steering wheel.
Fortunately, she formerly worked as an emergency room nurse, and her psychological condition was up to the mark. She was distressed at the moment, so her mind was blank and she couldn’t think clearly. Even then, she drove the truck in an imposing manner like a super race car with nitrogen boosters, soaring forwards twenty kilometers around the city and losing the tail of those dreadful owls.
The car turned off its headlights and quietly stopped at the side of a street.
Ji Dong and Mo Tiangen jumped out of the car and went to see the strong man in blue hanging on the door.
Brother Jie woke up at this time, but it seemed that there was only one breath left.
Ji Dong used tape to bind his two arms into a twist ring. His left shoulder was dislocated. His arms were hanging high and low on his chest like boiled soft noodles in a pot. He wasn’t even able to turn his wrist.
But his legs bore the most brunt.
His lower limbs had been pecked and scraped by a flock of owls, then the limbs below his wrists were dragged on the ground for twenty kilometers by a high-speed truck. His shoes had fallen off at an unknown location sometime during the ride and his entire lower body seemed to be beyond treatment. The ash-stained wound was still open and bleeding profusely.
The woman who had served as a nurse took one glance at it and concluded that the strong guy in blue’s two legs couldn’t be healed. Leg amputation seemed to be the only option.
“… Your life is already quite difficult.”
The nursing sister bandaged him with the tape to stop the bleeding and sighed quietly, “You’re still alive despite being injured in such a manner.”
Brother Jie squinted and looked at Ji Dong. He sounded as if he was on his last breath, “Take me away… Don’t leave me here…”
He was well aware of the gravity of his injuries.
But now he was more concerned as to how to persuade the curly baby face to accompany him.
If he could survive this, let alone losing two legs, even if his body was broken in two, as long as there was a single breath left, he could fully recover from the injuries he suffered in this [World] at the moment of returning to the [Peach Blossom Spring].
“Ha ha ha.”
Ji Dong, with a nefarious charm in his laugh, asked, “What right do you have to talk about terms and conditions with us now?”
Even though he didn’t know how Brother Jie’s brain circuit turned nine bends and eighteen bends, it didn’t prevent the Ji Dong from guessing that this person regarded him as the ‘big man’ in their three person team.
In that case, he pretended to be coercive.
“You mean, you know how to use a gun?”
He said, reaching out his hand to remove the gun from the opponent’s waist, and then took the cartridge clip back from Ren Jianmo, pushed it, and loaded it back neatly with a sharp ‘click’.
——Good, excellent!
Ji Dong silently gave his performance a perfect score in his heart.
“And do you, by any chance, think that I don’t know how to use your gun?”
While recalling the classic gangster movies he had seen, he imitated the villain BOSS’s evil expression and curled his lips mockingly. Then, he took off the finger less glove that Brother Jie was wearing on his right hand and put it on his own hand.
Brother Jie’s pupils shrink sharply.
“The logo printed on your glove matches the one on the gun. There is either a matching chip or a safety lock inside, am I right?”
Ji Dong laughed, “Indeed, this kind of concept of a safety gun has appeared, but shouldn’t you know best of how many movies where this gag ended like shit? Did you think I wouldn’t notice?”
Brother Jie was angry and tongue tied. He couldn’t say a word.
He was pretty certain that this curly baby face, like him, was an ‘experienced person’. He appeared to be quite innocent and harmless, yet he was in fact the living impersonation of a piggy that devoured the tiger. Deep down, he was a ruthless person.
Ji Dong added, as if to corroborate the brawny guy in blue’s supposition, “It’s a shame you misplaced the gun bag, as there are just a few rounds remaining…But it doesn’t really matter because I wasn’t expecting the involvement of this gun in the first place.”
Ji Dong strapped the pistol around his waist, weighted his bow bag, and delivered the knockout blow, “You dare think that I’m unprepared?”
In despair, Brother Jie closed his eyes.
At this point, his psychological defenses had totally fallen.
He feared he’d run out of bargaining chips if this went on.
“Take me away! Please, take me away! I don’t want to die! I don’t want to die!”
The strong man in blue burst into tears, “This is my third world! I managed to hold on till the third world!”
If his arms had not been wrapped in tape and his legs hadn’t completely lost consciousness from below his knees, Brother Jie would have crawled on the ground and held Ji Dong’s feet and begged him to be merciful and save his life.
“…The progress bar is almost finished! You know, it’s going to be over! At most, at most until dawn! Just take me! It’s only a matter of a few hours! ”
Ji Dong’s heart jumped and he quickly exchanged glances with his other three companions.
He pretended to look down at his watch. Sure enough, he saw that the pointer on the LCD had come very close to the end of the progress bar.
“You know the time is coming.”
Ji Dong maintained a cold, fake smile, “In that case, why should I take you? Wouldn’t you be rather troublesome for us?”
“No, I won’t be very troublesome!”
Brother Jie tried to persuade him, “Let’s find a safe place to hide! Stronger and more secure than the supermarket, where those birds can’t get in! We just have to survive until dawn! ”
He paused for a moment and then shouted, “And- and- I’ve seen the trailer. I can guide you!”
Ji Dong got an information overload and his heart was pounding with excitement, but he still tilted his mouth and put on a look as though he was not interested in his words at all.
“In addition to those birds….there is also a gigantic wolf dog! I know! I really do know! ”
Looking at his expression, Brother Jie was even more flustered and spoke sincerely, “….Take me with you, as long as you take me… Whatever you want me to do, I will do it!”
The car restarted.
After a brief discussion, they decided on a new destination.
And brought Brother Jie along with them.
They calculated an estimated time when they would be able to escape this ghost city. They were also aware that there were not just human-eating owls in the city late at night, but also at least another terrible creature described as a wolf dog.
So they agreed to find a safe place and hide until the progress bar on their watch reached the end.
Now, Brother Jie was severely hurt; he couldn’t walk or run, he couldn’t even use his hands, and he didn’t even have a complete garment covering his entire body. So he had no choice but to rely on them. As a result, Ji Dong and the others were unconcerned about him lying to them about all of this information to preserve his own life.
While they were discussing where to take shelter, the nurse who worked in the emergency room, a girl called Xiaoying, gave an excellent suggestion.
“The hospital where I work is the city’s Nuclear Protection and Poisoning Rescue Center. An air-raid shelter has been built under the emergency building. It is rumored to be strong enough to withstand a nuclear bomb.”
She pointed to herself. “I know where the entrance is. I can lead the way.”
Shouldn’t they be given some information
