Chapter 5: Car Accident Approaches!
“Hey~”
Bai Yu was suddenly patted on the shoulder. Having spent the whole day worrying about encountering extraordinary monsters, he jumped in fright.
Zhang Youpeng immediately laughed heartily: “Haha~ Yu Ge, you’re too timid. Have you been doing something you regret?”
Bai Yu was speechless.
“Boring.”
Zhang Youpeng had already been behind him for a while. After looking at the group chat, he asked, “Still playing with funds?”
“Yeah, just playing around, getting familiar with the rules in advance. Besides, in our major, we’ll all be programmers in the future, making games, developing networks, and so on. We’re tech geeks, and we earn quite a lot of money. It shouldn’t just sit in the bank and go stale.”
“That’s true.”
Zhang Youpeng nodded.
Speaking of which, he also played with funds.
In their computer science department, there were quite a few students who played with funds and stocks, mainly trading stocks related to internet technology companies.
After saying this, the two fell silent.
Bai Yu, in his heart, wondered if his good friends had noticed any anomalies in the world.
If they didn’t know, should he tell them?
He currently knew that Tianhai Base City would be annihilated in twenty years, and the psychological pressure was immense.
He didn’t think he alone could change the situation.
To completely change the situation, he would definitely need to alter the fate of more people!
And he wasn’t a lone hero; bearing the burden on himself would be too exhausting.
If he could rally a group of friends, with the help of his golden finger, he would feel much less pressure.
Or perhaps…
After he became a transcendent, he would come into contact with different circles and make friends with other transcendent individuals.
Change their fate.
Seeing Bai Yu’s silence and his unfocused gaze, Zhang Youpeng, based on their years of familiarity, asked, “What’s wrong? Something on your mind?”
Hearing this, Bai Yu thought: As expected of a good brother, he understands me!
But the next sentence was: “Missing your ex-girlfriend again? You spent over a hundred thousand and didn’t even get to taste it, that’s a huge loss. Worse than losing money in funds.”
“Hehehe~ You talk too much!”
Saying this, he patted Zhang Youpeng’s head.
Zhang Youpeng continued with a chuckle, “The student union group just posted a message about organizing a singer’s party. You’re pretty good at singing, aren’t you? Want to participate? It’s not a formal event anyway, so you can relax. If not singing, just watching the fun is fine too.”
“When is it?”
“They’re just starting to organize it now, probably in a week or two.”
“I’ll see then.”
“By the way, your ex-ex-girlfriend is one of the organizers.”
“Get lost!!!”
Bai Yu cursed as he hooked his arm around Zhang Youpeng’s neck.
The so-called ex-ex-girlfriend was absolutely innocent with him.
Back when he first started university, full of youthful spirit, in his sophomore year, he pursued a campus art department beauty for half a year, pretending to be rich and taking her to high-end restaurants a few times.
To be honest, it was pure, unadulterated pursuit. She agreed to a few meals out of politeness, or for some special reason, but she had no interest in the original owner.
And yet, the original owner still liked her for half a year, a one-sided infatuation.
This must be clearly distinguished! It was the original owner who was infatuated, it had nothing to do with him. He had only been transmigrated for a month or two.
However, his taste was indeed good.
In the few months since he transmigrated, he had seen that girl. She was truly beautiful, elegant, and he hadn’t heard of her having a boyfriend yet.
She was indeed hard to pursue!
“Also, Wang Haobin said he’s not used to living at home and plans to come to school.”
“Damn it! Did you guys form a secret group behind my back? Are you brothers?”
“Damn meow meow meow, it was posted in the dormitory group chat, just sent. Did you put messages on do not disturb again? Are you blocking your brothers’ messages? Are you a brother?”
“Uh, I’m rested. I’ll play for a bit longer.”
He played another half.
Around five o’clock, the stadium became even more crowded, with many students joining in.
Bai Yu got tired of playing and didn’t stay any longer. He took Zhang Youpeng back to the dormitory, showered, and then found a restaurant nearby for a simple meal before they each took a taxi home.
Around seven in the evening, the sky was still slightly bright.
Bai Yu opened the car door, got out, and looked back at the company building, secretly contemplating the car accident that was about to happen that night.
He scanned his surroundings. It was an unintentional action, but when his gaze fell on a person with a prominent mole on their nose, a slightly flattened nose, a large mouth, and thick lips, a sense of panic arose within him.
He steadied his mind and quickly walked towards the apartment building.
This apartment building had 25 floors. Each person’s access card could only take the elevator to a fixed floor. The stairwells were completely sealed, and each unit had a password-protected door, making it quite secure. The monthly rent was fifteen hundred yuan, with the drawback of being cramped, only about twenty square meters.
When he returned to his unit on the twelfth floor via the elevator, Bai Yu finally relaxed a little.
He quickly went to the bedside table and took out the drone equipment, which cost over two thousand yuan.
“It’s only fifty meters to Qingyun River to the north. That fishman will definitely jump into the river, which also fits the later setting of the Qing Lake fishman.”
“No matter how real the intelligence is, it’s not as good as seeing it with my own eyes. Should I film it or not?” He was conflicted and decided to wait until the incident occurred to make a decision.
Night soon fell.
In a parking spot on the side of the street, a rented BMW X7 was parked.
Inside the car, Wang Yongjian leaned his hand against the window, smoking, a hint of ferocity in his eyes.
He flipped through his chat history with the female streamer. From the initial few thousand yuan in tips to the later ambiguous remarks, this single, divorced old man was deeply captivated.
As the money he invested increased, his desires grew stronger.
However, when he proposed meeting offline, the other party kept making excuses. When he stopped sending money, the other party directly blocked him.
Wang Yongjian looked at the beautiful photos of the female streamer saved in his phone’s gallery, along with rather revealing photoshoots, and his anger reached its peak. “Damn it, if I can’t have you, I’ll destroy you!”
At this moment, it was also eleven o’clock at night, and many people were starting to get off work.
Wang Yongjian stared intently from inside the car, his face even contorting slightly, his eyes bulging. When he saw a woman in a qipao, laughing and chatting with the person beside her, the car suddenly started.
“Bitch, die!”
He roared and slammed on the accelerator.
As the car approached, people finally noticed that the car seemed to be heading straight for them!
The female streamer in the qipao, illuminated by the high beams, was completely stunned. Only when the car got closer did she scream in panic: “Ah~!!! Help—”
“Bang~ Bang~”
Two consecutive impacts.
The crowd panicked, screams and exclamations erupting one after another.
The female streamer’s body was like a kite with a broken string, sent flying and landing heavily on the ground.
“Quick! Call the police!” someone shouted from the crowd, their voice trembling with fear.
After hitting someone, Wang Yongjian immediately drove north, parked the car by the river, opened the door, and quickly jumped down the embankment.
As he moved, his ears rapidly changed, developing fins, and his palms grew webbed.
With a “swish,” he jumped into the river. The drone hovered overhead for a long while, but he did not resurface.
Inside the room.
Bai Yu took a deep breath after looking at the clear fishman features on the screen.
“Twelve points of certainty!”
His heart was filled with mixed emotions.
This was just the beginning…
He didn’t know how terrifying the future disasters would be, but it was always better to gain strength as early as possible.
