130. No More Worries

  "Damn Frost-Pted bastards, ungrateful!"

  "Screw you, dumbass white ghost, having your Omega Energy taken and still ting their money."

  The fight in the carriage was esg, about to turn into an armed brawl when the carriage door suddenly burst open.

  "Help!"

  Disheveled and covered in blood, Gina cried as she fell to the ground, immediately attrag everyone's attention with her pitiful appearance.

  "Hodro went crazy! He's not human, he wants to kill me!"

  "It's Gina, one of our outsiders." Someone was about to help her up when suddenly, a bolt-a rifle was aimed into the carriage and fired at Gina.

  Bang!

  This shot ehe arguments. All the passengers looked in shod fear toward the door.

  The bullet didn't hit Gina, instead leaving a clear hole in the back of the carriage.

  "Don't go near her!"

  Hodro, with blood streaming down his forehead and a fierce expression, said in a deep voice:

  "That's not Gina, it's a monster!"

  Holding the rifle, he was about to reload when an outsider angrily picked up a stool and struck his shoulder. Hodro cried out ao his knees, dropping the rifle.

  "Ah—!"

  "Screw you, Frost-Pted bastard! Go bae and bully your own women if you dare!"

  "Restrain him!"

  "He must have tried to assault the girl and got angry when she rejected him—disgusting Frost-Pted bastard."

  The outsiders began to accuse and curse Hodro, but he remained uerred, his eyes red as he shouted:

  "Don't mind me! Restrain it! It's not Gina; it killed Li Mu and Gina, then took Gina's form!"

  But his words only drew disdain from both Frost-Pted and outsiders.

  "What's this kid joking about? Our Omega Energy was taken by Li Aozi."

  "Haha, typical Frost-Pted scum, even after experieng the Abyss Humanitarian Relief, still such low quality."

  Gina cried, trembling with fear. People instinctively sympathize with the weak, especially women.

  "Lock him up! Wait for Ms. Celia to judge him!" someone suggested.

  "Right, I don't want to travel with a murderer and a thug."

  "No! I'm not a murderer! I didn't kill a killed Gina!"

  Dragged up, Hodro stared hatefully at Gina, shouting hoarsely:

  "You monster, you ate Gina—I'll kill you! I'll cut you open, rip out yuts, slice you to pieces!"

  His hands a were tied with ropes and he was shoved into a luggage partment. Two people beat him up, one keeping a rifle poi him, f him to squat in the er with his head down.

  "Don't try to escape." The man said, "We won't let you hurt Gina again."

  "Hurt Gina?"

  Hodro's eyes almost spewed fire, and he said with shame and anger:

  "I like Gina, I could never hurt her, but I won't tolerate a mohat killed Gina and took her form."

  "Shut up!"

  The man impatiently closed the partment, sileng Hodro.

  This small episode suddenly calmed the inal fight. People fell into silend awkwardness, but no one wao admit they were wrong.

  People checked Gina's injuries, and fortunately, she was unharmed.

  "Hey, there's blood on your oo." The girl cheg Gina noticed blood on her ned reached out to open her colr to check.

  "No!"

  Gina screamed, curling up with a fearful look. The girl had to withdraw her hand, not wanting to further agitate Gina, and handed her a towel. To let Gi, they cleared a bunk partment, set up hot water bottles and bs, and once Gina y down, the girl was about to leave.

  "Wait..."

  Gina pleaded softly:

  "Don't leave me alone, I'm scared..."

  Seeing Gina's tearful eyes, the girl softened and stayed in the room, closing the bunk door.

  Click!

  The Youth tinued forward, with driver Zhou Liefeng staring ahead. Iside world, driving any vehicle required full tration at all times. Any mistake could lead to a breakdown or, worse, death.

  "Have some hot water!"

  A female voice came from behind. Zhou Liefeng gnced sideways and saw Qiu Ran, a Frost-Pted woman, holding a cup of water. He took the cup but didn't drink, pg it aside and tinuing to drive.

  Qiu Ran didn't mind. She looked at the dark road ahead and couldn't help but sigh:

  "I wonder when we'll be able to go back..."

  "Six more hours to the Bridgeol Station. We'll stop ahere, do some minor repairs."

  "I see, thank you for your hard work."

  Qiu Ran smiled and turo leave.

  After she left, Zhou Liefeng opehe side windooured out the water.

  Qiu Rauro Li Aozi's bedside and sat down. Sensing someone approag, Li Aozi's eyelids twitched in his sleep. But reizing the familiar presence, he calmed down again.

  "You never rest, do you, Li Aozi? So you already like an old man..."

  Saying this, she felt a sudden pang of sadness.

  "Speaking of which, Li Aozi, I just called my family."

  Qiu Raed her in her hand, smiling:

  "Although I haven't been around tely, they're doing well. Qiu Yun has goo uy, and my brothers are healthy... Everyone's fihey care about me and pined, 'Where have you been for three years?' 'We all miss you,' 'e back soon.' Haha, they didn't bme me at all."

  Qiu Ran chuckled foolishly:

  "I told them I'd been tricked into doing illegal work, but now it's fihe police rescued us. I even got superpowers by act, now I'm extraordinary—everyone's safe. When I return, we'll have a big meal together, and I'll make barbecue. Li Aozi, you have to e too."

  She heard the noises and arguments from the back carriages. It seemed reaso first, but seeing Li Aozi's aged face, covered in scars and wrinkles, made their doubts aes seem ughable.

  Nomi called her a silly big sister. Qiu Ran didn't take it as an insult. She knew she wasn't smart but believed she had clear distins between love and hate.

  When someone sacrifices their life, youth, and great effort froup of ued people, no one has the right to point fingers at Li Aozi. That's a fact.

  Qiu Ran couldn't help but softly pin:

  "Your battle is over. Now just rest well and sleep peacefully."

  Li Aozi's lips moved, muttering almost deliriously:

  "Nomi... Omega Energy..."

  "Hey, what about Nomi's Omega Energy?"

  Hearing this, Qiu Ran leaned closer to carefully observe Li Aozi and soon noticed something unusual.

  Li Aozi's facial skin seemed unclear, covered with a yer of yellowish-white grime. On closer iion, it was a raised keratin yer.

  She gently peeled off the thick dead skin on Li Aozi's face, revealing a much tighter, rejuvenated skin underh. The age spots and wrinkles had signifitly reduced.

  "Is this... Nomi's Omega Energy helping you?!"
