Chapter 45: The Grassland Attacked

"Sit down!

Just as Zhong Caini was still reminiscing about the philosophical words that Wu Ming said when she left the hotel in the morning, she was suddenly interrupted by Wu Ming's shout. Subconsciously reached out and just grabbed the handle on the right front of the door, the off-road vehicle suddenly made a sharp turn to the left, throwing the unprepared Zhong Caini's whole body to the door. The delicate cheeks of the skin hit the car window glass and even made a soft bang.

The sharply inclined body made Zhong Caini unable to retract her body clinging to the door. With experience, Zhong Caini knew that the right wheel of the off-road vehicle under her at this time must have left the ground. In other words, Wu Ming is driving the vehicle to rotate at high speed with the left wheel on the ground.

Zhong Caini, who was shocked beyond comprehension, didn't have time to see what was going on outside, when she heard a "ding" sound from the rear door, followed by the sound of broken tempered glass from the window.

Immediately, with a "bang", the right wheel fell to the ground, and the body shook violently a few times, and it resumed the state of four-wheel driving. It's just that the direction of travel is the direction they just came, which means that the car is heading towards the prairie far from its destination.

It didn't take long to drive, and just before he moved forward for less than 100 meters, Wu Ming suddenly braked sharply, and the wheels slid by inertia on the grass for more than 30 meters, and then he was put into reverse gear before he could stop.

Woo——!

Zhong Caini, who had already sat down, saw very clearly that Wu Ming's foot on the accelerator did not leave the slightest room at all, and it was completely a kick to the end.

Although Zhong Caini has not seen anyone outside the car so far, the fact that the rear door was hit and the window glass was shattered just now told her that they were being inexplicably attacked. So she no longer asked what was going on, but grabbed the guard on the upper right with both hands, and subconsciously handed over her life and death to Wu Ming without any choice.

Smack——!

Whoa——!

It's not gunshots, Zhong Caini can confirm this. Rather, it was the sound of a sharp object hitting the rear windshield of the car.

Suddenly, the crossbow arrow fell between Zhong Caini and Wu Ming. Apparently it was caused by the loss of strength after breaking through the rear windshield just now. At this point, Zhong Caini finally understood that it was a strong crossbow hiding in the grass that attacked them.

At the same time, she also understood why Wu Ming was driving backwards - only in this way that he would not face the attackers hiding in the shadows, thus reducing the threat of being attacked by crossbow arrows.

Turning her head to give Wu Ming an approving look, Zhong Caini, who felt that the speed of the car was decreasing, thought that the danger was about to pass, so she was about to speak, but she heard Wu Ming shouting: "Get down!"

Instinctively, completely out of instinct, Zhong Caini let go of the hand holding the handle, and her body drove the seat belt on her body to the dashboard.

Before she could touch the dashboard with her arms underneath, the off-road vehicle made another ninety-degree sharp turn under Wu Ming's control. However, this time it was completely opposite to the first time, and instead turned to the right. The one that naturally rises from the ground also becomes the wheel on the left side.

Jingling, three or four metal strikes came in succession, and Zhong Caini heard a dirty word from Wu Ming's mouth: "Grandma is a bear, this beast!"

Zhong Caini tried to turn her head to see Wu Ming's expression, and from Wu Ming's tone, she could hear that she was completely enraged this time. So Zhong Caini wanted to know what the other party had just done.

"Sit down!"

It's just that when Wu Ming's shout came into his ears again, Zhong Caixia obediently crouched on the dashboard and didn't dare to move.

Keeping his right tire on the ground like that, Wu Ming drove up the grassland, feeling that he should be chasing the person who had attacked them with crossbow arrows just now. Zhong Caini raised her head slightly, looked out through the front windshield, and found nothing except the green grass that rose and fell like waves in the breeze in the afterglow of the setting sun.

Ding ding ding, when three crossbow arrows hit the body one after another, in Wu Ming's angry scolding - "Holy shit, see if you can't run away!" Zhong Caini felt the body shake suddenly, as if the front of the car had hit something. Immediately slammed, the off-road vehicle returned to its original state again, and Wu Ming also opened the door and rushed out at the moment when the left wheel landed.

When Zhong Caini, who was sore by the bump just now, struggled to unbuckle her seat belt, opened the car door and walked down, Wu Ming had already walked over with a bleeding mouth and nose and dying, wearing a grass-green camouflage uniform.

With a pop, he threw it at the feet of the frightened Zhong Caini and asked lightly: "Recognize, is it the bodyguard that your father invited for you?"

The sarcasm revealed in Wu Ming's faint tone, how could Zhong Caini not hear it. However, she didn't believe what Wu Ming said, so in order to prove that Wu Ming's judgment was wrong, she hurriedly squatted down and took advantage of the evening afterglow to take a closer look at the dying person at her feet.

"This ...... How is this possible?!"

Zhong Caini was completely stupid. Wu Ming was right, the person in front of him who attacked them with crossbow arrows was one of the four bodyguards hired by his father Zhong Rui from the Roewe Security Company at a large price after he returned to China. Zhong Caini still remembers his name - Zheng Qianjun.

"What's impossible?" Wu Ming walked over and kicked the man away, and reached out to pull the pearl necklace off Zhong Caini's neck. Then he picked up the heart-shaped worm pendant and gently twisted it with his right thumb and forefinger. Suddenly, the pendant cracked, and the beetle the size of a fingernail inside was revealed

Pinched it with his fingertips and handed it to Zhong Caini, Wu Ming asked, "Look what this is?"

"What?"

Zhong Caini took it in her hand and looked at it for a while, and then finally understood that where was the Beetle, it was clearly a miniature electrical appliance. vaguely guessed that this should be something similar to an eavesdropping device, but what made Zhong Caini wonder was when and who put it in her pendant. She didn't know why, so she had to look up and ask Wu Ming for answers.

"It's a state-of-the-art satellite positioning system with eavesdropping capabilities. It's no wonder that since I left General City, I always felt like someone was watching us. ”

Reaching out to take the locator the size of a fingernail from Zhong Caini's hand, Wu Ming pointed to the man in the grass who couldn't live and said, "This is just a thug, the real master behind the scenes should be in the city, and it is not far from the hotel where we live." ”

"Who could it be?"

Wu understood Zhong Caini's glance, and she was clearly saying: Who will you ask me and I ask?

"Let's go, I guess I'm going to camp in the grass tonight. ”

"Why?" as she spoke, Zhong Caini smelled a strong smell of gasoline in the air. Immediately, I understood why Wu Ming said that. Obviously, the three crossbow arrows that Zheng Qianjun hit the bottom of the car just now pierced the fuel tank, so it was impossible to drive the rented off-road vehicle back today.

Thinking that she had no intention of camping when she came, so she didn't bring anything, Zhong Caini couldn't help but feel embarrassed.

"What, you don't plan to spend the night in the car, do you?" Seeing Zhong Caini standing in front of the off-road vehicle and not moving, Wu Ming glanced back.

"Better than on the grass, right?"

"Alright then, you can stay in the car and be a live target. ”

Hearing this, Zhong Caini hurriedly took two steps to catch up with Wu Ming and asked, "Where are you going?"

"Go ahead and find a shelter from the wind. ”

Zhong Caini stopped squeaking, but reached out to grab Wu Ming's arm and followed step by step.
