Chapter 41: Donkey Head Mountain

The man let out a miserable scream as he was kicked to the ground. Just as Lü Yang stood up, ready to fight like a trapped animal and find a way to force his escape, a cold gun barrel was aimed at his body.

With a “pfft” sound of a gunshot, Lü Yang felt his body as if struck by a heavy object. He took a step back, instinctively looked at his chest, and then at the gun barrel in that person’s hand…

That gun barrel was very long. Lü Yang, who had just undergone firearms training in the Eerie Computer, immediately recognized that a silencer was attached to the gun barrel.

It seemed this time, they had encountered a group of professional kidnappers, who even had things like silencers!

Was I shot? Lü Yang felt very doubtful.

The dark muzzle of the gun barrel in that person’s hand was raised again, this time pointing at Lü Yang’s head. Another gunshot sounded, and Lü Yang felt his forehead struck hard as well. Then his vision became blurry, and after a dizzying spin, he fell to the ground.

The man who had been kicked in the crotch by Lü Yang and fallen to the ground now walked over extremely angrily. Cursing, he kicked Lü Yang’s body several times before leaving the room amid the laughter and persuasion of the others.

Liu Hui, tied to the wooden chair, was completely frightened by this scene. She wanted to scream, but her mouth was sealed, and in the end, she could only make some muffled sobbing sounds.

After the other men left, the one who stayed behind, called Xiao Si by the others, stuck his head out and looked outside the door for a while. Then he walked back into the room and closed the door.

From the look in his eyes as he stared at Liu Hui’s body, he clearly had bad intentions. It seemed he wanted to take advantage of being alone in the room to have some fun with the beautiful young lady Liu Hui.

Xiao Si walked up to Liu Hui, patted her cheek with a lecherous smile, then reached to her chest, undid two buttons of her clothes, and prepared to put his hand inside to feel.

Liu Hui struggled desperately, continuously making muffled sounds from her mouth. Unfortunately, her whole body was tied up, and she couldn’t break free. Just as Xiao Si’s dirty hand was about to reach into Liu Hui’s clothes, an iron pipe slammed hard onto his head, making a dull sound. Xiao Si’s skull cracked open, and he fell to the ground without a sound.

Lü Yang threw away the iron pipe, searched through Xiao Si’s body, and found a Dagger. After getting up, he quickly cut the ropes binding Liu Hui and rescued her from the wooden chair.

Earlier, Lü Yang had been shot in the chest and head, and should have died without a doubt. But after he fell to the ground, because he was in the Real world and had enough Eerie Points in his account, the Eerie Computer automatically exchanged a Healing Card for him, pulling him back from the brink of death.

So, this Xiao Si deserved his misfortune.

Liu Hui didn’t seem at all surprised by Lü Yang’s return from death. According to Lü Yang’s analysis, this was probably because the Eerie Computer’s use of the Healing Card on him affected the Real world and quickly modified the memories of the relevant people, just like how after erasing Yi Yi, it modified the memories of Yi Ya and many others.

However, Lü Yang didn’t have much time to think about these things. Who knew when those people who went to eat would return? They had guns. Even if the Eerie Computer could use Healing Cards to pull him back from the brink of death, the consumption of two Eerie Points each time was very distressing.

These Eerie Points were hard to come by and were also needed to save Yi Yi’s life. Now Lü Yang only had eight Eerie Points in total. He had just wasted two, leaving only six, which at most was enough for him to die three more times.

Although he was somewhat frustrated that encountering Liu Hui, this jinx, had brought him continuous bad luck, Lü Yang had always been a righteous and warm-hearted person. Plus, rescuing Liu Hui came with a reward of two Eerie Points, while not rescuing would result in a deduction of two. So, there was absolutely no way he could abandon Liu Hui now.

After freeing Liu Hui from the large wooden chair, Lü Yang signaled her not to make a sound and to follow closely behind him. Lü Yang didn’t dare to go out the main door. He went to the window, pushed it open, and observed outside for a long time before carefully pushing Liu Hui out first, then climbing out himself.

After leaving the house, Lü Yang looked around and quickly recognized that they were in Donkey Head Mountain. From the surrounding walls and scattered buildings, the place where the kidnappers stayed should be a piece of mountainous land that had been contracted by locals but later abandoned.

In recent years, many barren mountains had been contracted out, including Donkey Head Mountain. But due to insufficient follow-up development funds or other various reasons, many contracted mountainous lands were abandoned after walls and some simple houses were built. This place was clearly one of them.

Fortunately, Lü Yang was very familiar with Donkey Head Mountain. After escaping that broken wall, he quickly determined his and Liu Hui’s location on Donkey Head Mountain. But unfortunately, they were deep in the mountains. Without a car, it would be very difficult to get out.

Not only that, there was only one road out of Donkey Head Mountain, and that road was not far from the main door of the house where Lü Yang and Liu Hui were held captive. If Lü Yang and Liu Hui tried to go around from there, they would most likely be discovered and caught by the kidnappers.

However, Lü Yang knew a small path that led directly to the Back Hill. It was a very narrow mountain path. From there, they could detour to the Back Hill. After exiting the Back Hill and walking a few more miles, they would reach Donkey Tail Town.

Lü Yang didn’t dare to stop at all. He ran with Liu Hui towards the Back Hill direction for more than ten minutes before stopping to catch his breath.

The sky had some light earlier, but now it was completely dark. Moreover, there was no moon tonight. After the sky darkened, the mountain wilderness became particularly dark.

“They took my Mobile Phone. Do you have a Mobile Phone with you? Let’s call the police!” Liu Hui said to Lü Yang while panting.

Lü Yang shook his head. His wallet, Mobile Phone, and ID card had all been taken by those people.

How frustrating. When he knocked out that Xiao Si earlier, he should have searched for his Mobile Phone. At that time, he was only in a hurry to escape and didn’t think of these things at all. But it was likely that Xiao Si didn’t have a Mobile Phone on him; Lü Yang remembered he had searched briefly.

“What should we do now?” Liu Hui’s face showed a look of despair.

Lü Yang ignored her. He closed his eyes and opened the Eerie Computer. He tried it and surprisingly, the Eerie Computer could still connect to the network in this deep mountain wild forest!

Great! Lü Yang quickly logged into QQ, trying to send messages to friends on QQ to ask them to help call the police. But the Eerie Computer prompted that he could only browse the network here and couldn’t use the network to send information!

“What does this mean?” Lü Yang cursed loudly. He tried using the Eerie Computer to post on Weibo, but the same prompt popped up.

In fact, what Lü Yang was connecting to now was just the internet simulated by the Eerie Network. Although it was generally no different from the real internet, it wasn’t the real internet. Unless Lü Yang stayed in a place with real internet access and connected to the internet through legal, paid means, he could only browse and couldn’t send any information to the real internet.

“They’re coming after us!”

Liu Hui’s very panicked voice sounded in Lü Yang’s ear. Lü Yang opened his eyes and looked; sure enough, several beams of flashlight light were approaching in their direction!

“Follow me, don’t get lost!”

Lü Yang still hadn’t heard the Task completion sound. It seemed that to get the two Eerie Points for saving Liu Hui, he still had to bring her to a safe place.
