Twisted Dreams-Chapter 272 - 339: Recovery

The roar of the car was particularly deafening in the silent night.

Reid's door was knocked.

Su Yutang showed a somber expression.

She was desperately trying to recover her Spiritual Power, restoring the Shadow Python.

At this moment, she feared encountering enemies.

Reid comforted Su Yutang:

"Don't worry, it should be one of us."

Reid picked up the shotgun in the corner and tiptoed to the door, quietly asking:

"Who is it?"

The person at the door was silent for a while and then said:

"The commandments of Death God will guide my life."

Reid breathed a sigh of relief, opened the door, and watched the person at the door, saying:

"Praise the Seven Commandments."

Su Yutang stared at the door.

This pair of code-like phrases should be a secret code from the Seven Commandments Association.

The person at the door was dressed like a cowboy.

The 'cowboy' walked into the room and glanced at Su Yutang:

"I'm Xi Li, come with me quickly, the car is outside."

Su Yutang looked at Reid, with a questioning look in her eyes.

Right now, she only trusted Reid.

Reid explained:

"I submitted a task to the Seven Commandments Association, Xi Li is here to take you to the airport."

Su Yutang pondered for a while:

"So, you're saying the Seven Commandments Association already knows I'm here.

Then we need to hurry, the pursuers from the God Creation Group might already be on their way."

Xi Li showed a look of dissatisfaction:

"Are you afraid there's a traitor in the Seven Commandments Association selling your information?

I can vouch with my head, there's absolutely no such person in the Seven Commandments Association."

Su Yutang stood up, shaking her head:

"It's not that I don't trust your association, I just believe the God Creation Group is very capable."

Su Yutang has never been arrogant in her life; she always tries to overestimate her opponents.

It is precisely because of this that Su Yutang can always predict her opponent's moves.

The three hesitated no more, Su Yutang and Xi Li helped carry Reid's luggage and walked outside.

...

Su Yutang looked surprisingly at the old pickup truck in front of her.

This pickup truck, whose brand she's forgotten, must have been discontinued long ago; it's definitely an ancestral vehicle.

If encountered by pursuers, can this car take so many people away?

Xi Li, in the driver's seat, noticed Su Yutang's doubts and casually said:

"My skills are good, don't worry, get in the car quickly."

Reid sat in the front passenger seat, with Su Yutang and Reid's daughter Sandy in the back seat, luggage packed in the truck bed.

The car started.

This pickup truck appeared unremarkable, but it was not ordinary.

Xi Li seemed to have a sentimental attachment to this truck; aside from the discontinued brand exterior, the engine and other parts had all been upgraded.

The power was abundant.

Su Yutang sized up Xi Li.

He might really be a racing driver.

After he started the car, his entire demeanor changed, becoming highly focused, like a master craftsman.

He used a racing driver's gear, and the dashboard even had some incomprehensible instruments.

Su Yutang secretly marveled.

What other impressive figures are in the Seven Commandments Association?

A Reid with good psychological qualities and coordination was already surprising to her, and now there was a Xi Li?

The car roared, swiftly vanishing in the town.

At this speed, they could easily reach the Indy Airport near Zhige City within an hour.

Zhige City is the God Creation Group's headquarters; the people in the car wouldn't deliver themselves into the net.

...

Xi Li excitedly pressed down on the gas pedal.

Reid nervously scanned the surroundings through the car window and rearview mirror, sweat beads forming on the hand holding the shotgun.

Reid's daughter Sandy was already asleep.

Su Yutang closed her eyes, continuously regulating her breath, concentrating her Spiritual Power.

At her feet, a cluster of shadows gathered and dispersed at times.

Suddenly, the car came to an abrupt stop, Sandy's head banged against the front seat's backrest, and she asked in confusion:

"What happened?"

Reid quietly hid the shotgun at the pedal, responding:

"Road Sheriff check."

Two sheriffs with their hands on their waists moved step by step closer:

"Turn off the engine, get off the vehicle!"

Su Yutang frowned, sensing something amiss.

Xi Li smirked, slamming the gas pedal.

The pickup truck shot out like a steel beast.

"Stop!"

The two sheriffs drew their guns, shooting at the pickup truck, but the truck only suffered some scratches, dashing away.

Reid stared in shock at Xi Li.

Xi Li sneered:

"Such an amateur act.

A normal road sheriff check would politely say:

'Sir, please keep your hands where I can see them; I may need to inspect your beloved car.'

Then, they'd use the gentlest tone to charge me the most money.

Not like now, so bluntly saying 'Turn off the engine, get off the vehicle'."

Xi Li spoke, glancing at Reid beside him:

"This is the experience of a veteran whose assets have been fined away."

Reid gave a thumbs up:

"Impressive."

Then, Reid asked:

"They've spotted us; should we take another route."

Su Yutang shook her head:

"There will surely be ambushes at other junctions too.

We luckily passed here; there's no need to change routes.

Besides, we're very close to Indy City; once we reach the airport, we'll be safe."

...

About to reach Indy City, they could already see the city lights from afar.

The group finally exhaled.

Suddenly, several cars emerged from nearby intersections, crashing toward the old pickup.

Xi Li swiftly turned the steering wheel, dodging all collisions.

He hit the gas pedal, suddenly frowning:

"There's good news and bad news.

The good news is, the bastard hit the fuel tank, but the car hasn't exploded.

The bad news is, the car is leaking oil; we won't make it to Indy City."

Reid, recovering from the thrilling scene, swallowed hard:

"What, what should we do?"

Reid underestimated the enemy's recklessness.

If caught, it's over for them.

Reid glanced at his daughter in the back seat.

Sandy was terrified, yet her hopeful eyes turned to her father, wishing this mysterious figure could perform a miracle.

Reid showed a look of despair.

He wasn't afraid of dying, but he feared his daughter getting hurt.

Xi Li slowed the car, saying: 𝓯𝓻𝒆𝙚𝒘𝓮𝙗𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝒍.𝙘𝓸𝙢

"You all jump out now; I'll hold them off.

My car is a treasure; I have a way to blow them up."

Reid murmured:

"Blow... blow them up? But what about you?!"

Trouble was, headlights lit up ahead, and several black sedans drove toward them.

"It's over."

"Jump off the car quickly, I'll crash into them; chaos might give you a chance at survival!

I should've died long ago, if it weren't for Death God's commandment, I'd be dead!

Dying for faith is valuable, Death God won't let me feel pain!"

Xi Li said through gritted teeth.

Reid slumped in the back seat, suddenly remembering something, crossing his hands:

"Great Lord, please save your lambs.

I, old Reid, am willing to embrace you, but my daughter is still so young... …"

He kept murmuring.

Sandy, seeing her father like this, expressed despair:

"Is it any use praying now?"

A gentle hand on Sandy's shoulder calmed her fear.

Sandy turned, seeing Su Yutang's cold but beautiful face.

Su Yutang rarely showed tenderness, saying to Reid and Xi Li:

"My Lord will not let two loyal warriors die so disgracefully in the hands of these scoundrels."

She gently stroked Sandy's hair, softly saying:

"Little girl, don't worry, none of us will die tonight."

Su Yutang's Spiritual Power recovered at this moment.

From a God's perspective, one could see a massive python-shaped shadow following under the moving car.
