Chapter 799 - 305: Xu Xingguang Will Die Within Half an Hour? (Part 2)

Seeing Xu Xingguang, Ying Ziyao stopped and asked her: "Xingguang, when will the medicine rating results come out?"

"The results will come out today, probably in the afternoon."

Nodding, Ying Ziyao said: "I have an exam at nine-thirty, it should end at around eleven-thirty, should I accompany you?" Ying Ziyao is currently using an ID from Bai Ze Realm, which is not recognized by the Three Great Alliances, so he is still officially undocumented.

Huo Wen’an spent a considerable amount of money and donated a dormitory building to Wanxiang Medical College, only then did the college agree to accept Ying Ziyao, this student of unknown origin.

Before enrollment, Ying Ziyao needed to undergo a pre-entry assessment to help the college understand his strengths and field specialization for appropriate departmental placement.

Xu Xingguang asked him where he would be taking the exam, and Ying Ziyao replied: "Right in Wanxiang Academy, the dean himself will be supervising me."

After all, he is a big client, a golden goose.

Xu Xingguang initially planned to wait until Ying Ziyao finished his exam to pick him up, and then go to the Medicine Hall together. But thinking that the neighboring Cold Water District was in chaos these days, she was somewhat uneasy letting Ying Ziyao go alone through Cold Water District to Purple Garden District for his exam.

"The next district isn’t safe, I’ll go with you."

Ying Ziyao naturally didn’t want to trouble Xu Xingguang, but considering the importance of today’s exam, he couldn’t afford to miss it, nor could anything happen to him, so he agreed.

"Then I’ll trouble you."

"Give me fifteen minutes." Xu Xingguang quickly took a combat shower, changed into a black long dress, grabbed her canvas bag, and accompanied Ying Ziyao on the unmanned bus to Wanxiang Academy.

When the bus was shuttling through Chuangu District, there were still a few people visible on board. But upon entering Cold Water District, not even a ghostly shadow could be seen.

The intelligent bus drove along the easternmost moat highway of Cold Water District, where the roadside was littered with thuggish-looking individuals, their eyes fierce and threatening.

Some stood by the street smoking, sizing up passing vehicles, contemplating whether or not to make a move.

Others were smoking and drinking.

Ying Ziyao sat by the window with a document bag, looking at those intimidating hoodlums on the street with a relatively calm demeanor.

Having lived in Bai Ze Realm, he had encountered truly desperate criminals on the run. Thus, looking at the hoodlums in Cold Water District, he felt a similar numbing calm.

He thought, the Mortal World is still better.

Screech!

Their bus suddenly braked sharply, stopping in the middle of the road.

The bus was filled with constant mechanical alerts: "There is an obstacle ahead, unable to proceed, passengers please disembark."

The intelligent driving system detected an obstruction on the road ahead, unable to proceed, so it had to stop.

Ying Ziyao checked the time; it was already eight-thirty, only an hour left before the exam. And from their current location to Wanxiang Medical College, it would take thirty minutes by bus, if walking...

No time left.

Ying Ziyao stuck his head out the window and saw a blown-up bus lying in front, with injured people inside.

Five injured passengers, with their hands bound, were being forced to stand in front of the blasted bus by a group of gunmen.

They had become a human wall blocking Xu Xingguang and the others.

Among the five hostages were three men and two women; one woman was elderly, her hair gray and blood continuously streaming from her head.

A man holding a machine gun stood behind these injured people, with a colorful headscarf on his head, raised his gun and fired a shot into the sky.

Bang!

The gunshot shook the already trembling five injured passengers.

This road was only separated from the Inner City Dujiang District by a moat, and across the moat, people were coming and going, the scene was harmonious. Meanwhile, chaos was unfolding on this side of the moat.

But the people across the river either ignored the chaos in Cold Water District or stopped to watch as if it were a show.

In any case, no one stepped forward to uphold justice for these five pitiful souls.

This vast Divine Martial Realm, was so twisted.

The gunman shouted at Xu Xingguang and Ying Ziyao on the bus: "Everyone on the bus, get down!" He used human lives to create a wall of flesh, intending to scare those on the bus.

Ying Ziyao glanced back at Xu Xingguang seated in the last row.

Seeing her silent and unmoving, he asked her: "Xingguang, aren’t we getting off?"

Xu Xingguang retorted: "And do what?"

Ying Ziyao stared at the injured passengers ahead carrying bombs, frowning: "If we don’t get off, those thugs will kill these innocent civilians."
