129. Night of Revelry
Before he finished speaking, a heavy punch fiercely struck his face. The Frost-Pted gsses guy's spectacles flew off immediately. He staggered, and before he could steady himself, the outsider youth he was arguing with rushed up and kicked him, causing him to fall to the ground.
"What are you doing? You 't just hit people no matter what!"
"I'm hitting you ungrateful Frost-Pted bastards!"
"Ungrateful? Du Zexin is also a Frost-Pted man! You're the one who 't tell right fr, you bastard!"
"Screw you!"
As the fight escated, it ighe surrounding p.
Calming down from the joy of esg, the national flicts and hostilities between the Frost-Pted and outsiders resurfaced.
Especially ing the issue of Omega Energy—the Frost-Pted people, though having a rge wealth gap, grew up in a capitalist enviro, heavily self-tered and particurly ed about their own gains and losses.
In their view, they didn't pay Li Aozi to save them. Since Li Aozi chose to save them, he didn't expect a reward. Therefore, reg what was inally theirs, the Omega Energy, was only natural.
Outsiders, oher hand, though more fierd selfish, were much simpler ihoughts.
If you saved my life, there's nothing more to say. Fet about a reward, if you wao die for you, even take a bullet, it's not impossible. Iside world, nothing is more important than this. Friendship and loyalty are more important than tracts.
Moreover, in their eyes, Li Aozi, who could annihite the bio-cyb and the infamous Abyss Humanitarian Relief, freeing them from death and e, was a living legend.
Some even picked up Li Aozi's sger coat. As one of the three great anizations of the outside world, the sger's image was deeply rooted in people's hearts. Instantly, Li Aozi became a hero in the hearts of outsiders. Some even cimed that Li Aozi was "the greatest outside world hero sihe anaerobes."
The outsiders were not in the majority, and there were also elderly and women among them. On the Frost-Pted side, the former ied were mostly lower-css males, and in a fight, it wasn't clear who would have the upper hand.
Just moments ago, both sides were happily chatting and celebrating freedom, but quickly turo frontation and insults, with some even starting to fight. Some grabbed benches and pipes, gradually esg into a full-blown brawl.
Li Mu, timid by nature, felt emboldened by the slogans shouted by the outsiders, gaining endless strength from the collective.
But he wasn't eyeing the Frost-Pted men; instead, he looked at the slightly plump Frost-Pted woman ahead of him, with her head hanging down, dressed thinly. Though not pretty, her mature body still exuded aig aura.
At this moment, the restroom door opehe person inside, seeing their patriot beien, immediately called out and rushed in, giving the outsiders a beating.
Li Mu licked his lips, approached the woman with her head doressed closely against her. Thinking of Gina flirting with the Frost-Pted guys outside filled him with nameless anger.
Seizing the moment as the womaered the restroom, he followed her in, locked the door, and pihe Frost-Pted woman against the restroom wall, biting her shoulder and tearing off her thin clothes.
"Let me teach you Frost-Pted bastards a lesson!"
Uo join his fellow outsiders in the fight, bullying a woman seemed like a sotion.
After all, Frost-Pted men were bullied by their own women, so he felt triumphant over them, thinking they might even thank him.
While cursing, Li Mu's hands roamed all over the woman's body, but no matter what he did, Gina's silhouette and smile wouldn't leave his mind.
He thought he was in love with Gina, that this impulsive act was a mistake, but whenever he tried to repce the woman's face with Gina's, he realized something—this Frost-Pted woman, for some reaso her head down, barely resisting, if at all, making him feel less satisfied.
"You bitch! Who do you think you are, not even looking at me?"
He raised his hand, pinched her , and lifted her face. The woman's beautiful bck hair parted, and a distant fsh of lightning illuminated her skin—Li Mu immediately noticed a clear red cross-shaped scar on her neck, like a burn mark, particurly striking.
The Frost-Pted woman stepped back, raising her hand to cover her face.
Li Mu ghinking she must be disfigured, which would make it more satisfying to humiliate su ugly woman:
"Too ugly to show your face, huh?"
He said, forcefully prying away her arm c her face.
g g—
The armored traiered a tunnel, plunging the carriage into deeper darkness.
The restroom door opened, and Li Mu walked out refreshed. He quietly closed the door and passed through the crowd.
Bzzz—
The train emerged from the tunnel, lightning suddenly illuminating the carriage enviro again.
People tio fight, curse, and argue, paying no attention to the short outsider boy passing through the chaos.
Rumble—
The rolling thunder came te, startling Gina and Huarding the rear of the train.
"So scary," Gina murmured timidly, "A natural disaster seems to be ing. we make it through?"
As she spoke, her body unsciously leaowards the sturdy Hodro.
"Don't worry, the train's engine alone weighs dozens of tons, plus the steel armor, no wind move it." Hodro said with a smile. Feeling Gina's closeness, his face also reddened, and he subtly moved his shoulder closer to offer support.
Gina, sensing this, reached out her fio grasp Hodre hand.
"Yeah."
Suddenly, a male voice sounded from behind, startling Hodro and Gina. They quickly separated, blushing, and turo see who it was. Gina sighed in relief:
"You scared me, it’s just you, Li Mu."
"Cough, appearing suddenly, caught us off guard."
"I was just a bit scared of the lightning, yeah, that's all..."
They hurriedly expined, while Li Mu just smiled.
"Okay, I believe you."
Crack!
Terrifying lightning tore through the sky, the cold blue-white light illuminating Li Mu's upper body. Hnced and clearly saw a scarlet mark on Li Mu's neck.
The red cross-shaped scar, like a burn mark, articurly striking.
Before he could think further, the moment, thunder roared, and rain poured down.
The storm had arrived.
