Chapter 487 487: 321, Agreement
Just like Yi said.
Humans are a strange animal; things should be based on equivalent exchange, but you might feel shortchanged in a deal if the other party completes their part too easily.
Therefore, it was a correct move that Qing Chen did not immediately rescue Luo Wanya after this time travel.
At least now, Luo Wanya, pushed to a dead end and having personally experienced brutality, had a completely different mindset than before.
"Family, you finally came, I thought you weren't coming," Luo Wanya said, tears streaming down his face, mingling with the blood, looking as disheveled as possible as he tried to grasp Liu Dezhu's hand.
But Liu Dezhu quickly dodged.
At that moment, Liu Dezhu thought this guy must have some issues, "Who is your family?"
"Hurry and get out of the car," he told the Time Travelers, "save any questions until after we've left this place."
"Who are you?" a Time Traveler asked, trembling.
"Does it matter who I am?" Liu Dezhu's expression turned cold, "You just need to know that I am here to rescue you."
However, these Time Travelers, terrified, were afraid of jumping out of the frying pan into the fire, and hesitated to leave the vehicle.
Luo Wanya was the quickest to react, not needing Liu Dezhu to say more, he immediately got out and stayed close by Liu Dezhu's side.
Moreover, he quickly used his clothing to cover his face to prevent passersby from recognizing him.
Liu Dezhu looked at him in surprise, "You are quite intelligent, no need for reminders."
Luo Wanya gave an awkward smile, "Just experienced."
Before he successfully 'got ashore', visits to the police station were routine, so to avoid being photographed by reporters, he would subconsciously cover his face.
It was now midnight, the busiest time in the Fourth District.
At the crossroads, Liu Dezhu had already noticed many people whistling at them.
It's worth noting that in the Outer World's Sheriff's Street, everyone scatters at the sight of a sniper rifle.
But here in the Inner World's Fourth District, the first reaction of the people upon spotting a sniper was to give Liu Dezhu and his crew thumbs up, whistling, "Awesome, brother, your group even has a sniper! Which gang are you guys? Are you recruiting?"
Liu Dezhu: "..."
These chaos-loving loafers of the Fourth District's respect for civilian snipers was akin to how gang members in the slums of Mexico idolize the GTR…
Of course, it's not that these people in the Fourth District aren't afraid of dying, but they are accustomed to living each day uncertain of the next.
In the Fourth District, wages can't be issued monthly.
If you pay them a month's wages at once, they'll spend it in three days, using the money for new clothes, new phones, new mechanical limb components, or perhaps on romantic pursuits, donating all the money to those needy "misses."
The rest of the 27 days, they would have to survive by borrowing money or resorting to robbery.
Thus, all businesses in the Fourth District pay daily wages.
Pleasure and joy are more important than anything to them because they never know when they might die.
They never have the habit of saving; each one of them is on the blacklist of bank credit ratings.
At that moment, as the crowd of onlookers grew increasingly larger, Liu Dezhu spoke into his Bluetooth headset, "Boss, what about the rest?"
In the Bluetooth headset, Qing Chen calmly responded, "Let them be, let them fend for themselves. Tianzhen, drive the car over, Xiao Niu, proceed to evacuate on your own."
During the conversation, Zhang Tianzhen accelerated and pulled up beside Liu Dezhu.
Liu Dezhu, carrying Luo Wanya, headed towards the car, "Anyone else who doesn't want to die, follow us. We're not waiting anymore."
In the end, aside from Luo Wanya, two other Time Travelers hurriedly got into the car and squeezed into the back seat with Luo Wanya.
Four others did not follow Liu Dezhu; after jumping out of the van, they ran into the crowd at the corner on their own.
Zhang Tianzhen, with a stern face, watched them run off through the rearview mirror, thinking how foolish people cannot even be saved.
Now, what needed to be done had been done; Daylight was not some kind of charitable organization.
Yet, those four instinctively ran towards the crowd, but what awaited them was not freedom.
The idle onlookers actually managed to capture all of them at once.
For these people, if there was competition, then there must be some value, which perhaps could be sold for money.
Luo Wanya silently watched this scene from inside the car; he wanted to see if the boss of Daylight would fire a shot to disperse the crowd and once again rescue these four 'compatriots' from the Outer World.
But he did not hear a gunshot.
He breathed a sigh of relief.
Zhang Tianzhen then stepped on the gas and drove away into the distance.
In the car, the other two Time Travelers, squeezed by Luo Wanya in the back seat, felt almost suffocated.
One struggled and looked towards Liu Dezhu and Zhang Tianzhen in the front seat, curiously asking Luo Wanya, "Who are these two?"
Luo Wanya explained, "These are the heroes who specifically came to rescue us, family! But let's not ask too much. Don't ask what you shouldn't; I can't answer either."
The two Time Travelers were still dazed; if it weren't for being physically squeezed by Luo Wanya, they might even have been trembling slightly.
They looked at Liu Dezhu and Zhang Tianzhen, "Thank you both, where are you taking us now? Will you give us freedom?"
What do you think?
