Who wants to become a god? Aren't you all forcing me?

Pat, pat, pat...

The puddles on the road splashed as they were stepped on, and the middle-aged man's trouser legs hung down, soaked, but he didn't care at all.

He looked warily behind him, then quickly turned his head: "Can... can anyone really escape?"

"Isn't it normal for someone to escape? Go where I told you, don't panic." Li Chenqiu's eyes were deep, showing no trace of panic.

"Okay! If you can let me live this time, I'll do whatever you say in the future!"

After speaking, the middle-aged man quickened his pace. The feeling of being chased was really uncomfortable.

The speed of the Awakened far exceeded that of ordinary people, and the two quickly arrived at the bridgehead. The middle-aged man didn't dare to delay and dragged Li Chenqiu directly onto the bridge.

But soon the middle-aged man's pace stopped, not because someone was blocking his path, but because this bridge was too strange!

At first, there were still pedestrians and speeding vehicles on the bridge, but now everything was gone. There was only the sound of raindrops falling on the pedestrian walkway, and there wasn't a single car on the asphalt road.

The middle-aged man let go of Li Chenqiu, grabbed his shoulders with both hands, and asked urgently, "Didn't you say someone would meet us? Where are they? And what's with this empty bridge?!"

Li Chenqiu raised his hand to push away the man's hand, rubbed his sore shoulders, and came to the railing: "Both sides of the bridge are blocked. If you want to live, jump into the river, but the people from the Special Abilities Division may have deployments by the river. You have to be careful."

"Jump into the river?" The man's eyes widened, and he walked behind Li Chenqiu in disbelief: "I... I can't swim!"

"The person meeting us is Lu Jiang. If you can't swim, then I can't help it." Li Chenqiu took off his hood.

"You lied to me, you said someone would meet us!!!" The man's neck veins bulged, and he directly locked Li Chenqiu's neck with his arm, and pulled him in front of him again with the other hand.

Li Chenqiu didn't resist, and the corner of his mouth slightly raised: "Why are you being ungrateful?"

"You, you... Shut the hell up, cooperate with me obediently, or you won't even think about living!!!"

The man roared and dragged Li Chenqiu back the way they came in a panic.

When the two of them arrived at the bridgehead again, the bridge entrance was already blocked by the Special Abilities Division's jeep. Special Abilities Division members in combat uniforms hid behind the jeep, their cold gun barrels resting on the hood, aiming at the direction where the two were.

On the residential buildings around the bridge, many onlookers poked their heads out of the windows, taking pictures and videos with their mobile phones, indirectly supervising the Special Abilities Division's every move.

Where had the middle-aged man ever seen such a scene? He shrank behind Li Chenqiu, mustered his courage, and shouted loudly, "Get out of the way, all of you get out of the way, or I'll kill this kid!!!"

It was quiet, only the rain responded tirelessly.

Click!

At this moment, the driver's side door of a jeep opened, and a fair-skinned young man bent over and walked out.

The young man had neat short hair, clear facial lines, and a pair of bright eyes that exuded an indescribable confidence and arrogance.

Li Chenqiu was very familiar with this person, the deputy leader of the Fourth Action Team - Gong Qi.

As he remembered, this person still wore a pair of black gloves, with a cheap expression on his face, which made people itch.

"Are you in charge? Prepare a car filled with gas for me, and tell the soldiers at the border crossing not to stop me. When I leave the city and get to the no-man's land, I'll release the person, did you hear me!!!" The man shouted at the top of his lungs.

Not all regions in this world are under the jurisdiction of the Federation. Awakened can appear among humans, and animals are no exception.

The areas outside the city are the territory of these Awakened. The Federation calls these areas no-man's lands, and many Awakened who have nowhere to go in the city will enter the no-man's lands to seek survival.

Faced with the man's request, Gong Qi pursed his lips and smiled, spreading his hands helplessly: "I can't meet your request. You are involved in multiple homicides. According to the Federal Security Law, the Special Investigation Bureau must eliminate Awakened who disrupt social stability.

So we can't let you leave. If you release the hostage now, I can arrange for your family to visit you and see you one last time. This is my greatest leniency."

"You!" The man's legs trembled, and his bulging eyes looked as if they were about to fall out in the next second: "I have a hostage in my hand. If you don't follow my request, I'll kill him!"

Li Chenqiu said calmly: "The Federal Security Law stipulates that when an Awakened takes a hostage and makes a request that violates other laws, the Special Abilities Division has the right to forcibly eliminate them. Didn't you even check online when you took me hostage?"

The middle-aged man was stunned when he heard this: "That's impossible, that's not how it's portrayed in TV dramas!"

"He's right." Gong Qi nodded: "Ten minutes to consider. If you don't release the hostage after ten minutes, the Special Abilities Division will take coercive measures."

As soon as these words came out, the middle-aged man stood there dumbfounded like an idiot, silent in the heavy rain.

Soon after, the Special Abilities Division members of the Second Combat Team surrounded them from the west side of the bridge, and team leader Wang Zhongshan was also among them.

When the man saw this scene, the defense line in his heart completely collapsed, and he shouted hysterically:

"Why, what's wrong with me wanting to live? I only ate people who deserved to die, why do you want to kill me? That dog boss stole my woman, was I wrong to eat him, was I wrong?"

"Is it not wrong to blame your own incompetence on others?" Gong Qi said lightly.

This sentence was like the last straw that broke the camel's back. The middle-aged man's eyes were full of despair, but this despair was quickly replaced by anger. He glared at the back of Li Chenqiu's head:

"It's all your fault. If it weren't for you, I would definitely be able to live. I'm going to die, and you can forget about living too!"

Saying that, the man's arm locking Li Chenqiu's neck loosened, and his palms suddenly clenched into fists, tearing through the rain and slamming towards Li Chenqiu's brow.

Seeing this scene, the Special Abilities Division members all pressed their fingers tightly against the trigger, waiting for Li Chenqiu's death.

Just as the fist was about to hit Li Chenqiu's brow, at the critical moment, a few drops of rain slid from Li Chenqiu's hair and hovered in front of his brow.

Crack!

The crisp sound of bone cracking was particularly harsh in the rainy night. The man's fist seemed to have hit a wall, and his wrist joint bent downwards at one hundred and eighty degrees.

"Ahhh!"

The miserable screams resounded through the rainy night, and the man fell to the ground, covering his wrist with a ferocious expression.

Although Awakened can regenerate infinitely, it does not mean that the wound will not cause pain.

At this moment, everyone looked at each other in dismay, including Gong Qi and Wang Zhongshan.

Who knocked down the Awakened?

However, the experienced Wang Zhongshan quickly understood. If the target wanted to kill the hostage, he could just twist his neck, why would he clench his fist and smash it at his brow? There is only one possibility!

"Eliminate! These two are both Awakened!"
