"Dead ahead?!"
Ye Feng immediately slowed down, observing the direction of the gunshots with caution. Xiao Xiao also put away her map and looked towards the source of the sound.
As Ye Feng and Xiao Xiao watched, a middle-aged man, bleeding from a shoulder wound and looking disheveled, stumbled and climbed over a dirt mound not far away, appearing in their line of sight.
The middle-aged man continued to flee, his gaze nervously fixed behind him, filled with fear and tension.
Within a few breaths, a figure appeared behind the fleeing middle-aged man. This figure wore a hat with a skull pattern, carried a Mosin-Nagant rifle on his back, and a large saber.
Behind the skull-hatted figure, several other men in similar attire followed, not rushing, but keeping pace with the fleeing middle-aged man.
At the very rear of this group, a black jeep drove slowly...
"Skull Society members? Encountered them this soon?"
Seeing the men with skull-patterned hats, Ye Feng was quite surprised.
That was precisely the insignia of the Skull Society members, and he had just been thinking about them.
"En?"
Ye Feng's expression suddenly changed slightly.
Because the fleeing middle-aged man wore a bracelet on his wrist that was quite familiar to Ye Feng. It was the same uniquely shaped bracelet he himself wore after arriving in this world.
"Another survivor!"
Ye Feng couldn't help but frown.
"Ah!~"
Just then, the fleeing middle-aged man stepped on some loose sand, lost his balance, and quickly sank into it.
"Damn it, quicksand!"
The Skull Society member holding the Mosin-Nagant rifle cursed, dropped his rifle, and rushed towards the fleeing middle-aged man. He lunged forward, reaching for the man's wrist.
"Idiot, don't touch the bracelet of a bracelet-wearer!"
A displeased roar came from inside the black jeep.
But it was too late!
In the struggle, the Skull Society member still touched the uniquely shaped bracelet on the middle-aged man's wrist.
Instantly, the uniquely shaped bracelet on the middle-aged man's wrist turned to dust and dissipated in the blowing sand.
Almost simultaneously, the middle-aged man's eyes became vacant, and he became completely dazed...
"This... it's exactly as people in the [Chat Channel] said before!"
Although he had heard many people say it, seeing it with his own eyes, Ye Feng was still very shocked.
Beside him, Xiao Xiao looked at a bracelet-shaped light projection on her wrist!
Where there used to be a tangible bracelet, Ye Feng had modified it to a semi-spatial rift state, turning it into something like a light projection imprinted on Xiao Xiao's wrist.
Unless Xiao Xiao used a specific method, the bracelet would not manifest...
At this moment, Xiao Xiao's expression was somewhat fearful.
Previously, Ye Feng had told her not to let others touch the bracelet, saying it was very dangerous, but she hadn't had a concrete understanding of the danger and had only followed Ye Feng's instructions. Seeing this scene now, she was suddenly terrified...
"Damn it, what rotten luck. We finally found a bracelet-wearer, and they're ruined like this!"
"Damn it!"
At this moment, the angry curses of the Skull Society member who had touched the middle-aged man's bracelet rang out. He also began kicking the middle-aged man's body, which was sticking out of the sand.
"Bang~ Bang! Bang!..."
After cursing, he picked up the Mosin-Nagant rifle and fired several shots at the dazed middle-aged man.
As if that wasn't enough, he took a grenade from his pocket and tossed it towards the now silent middle-aged man.
"Boom!~"
After a huge fireball, the middle-aged man's upper body was submerged in quicksand, and his head, which was barely exposed, was blasted to pieces.
Then, the Skull Society member turned his attention to the Hummer in which Ye Feng and Xiao Xiao were.
At this moment, the Hummer was less than 30 meters away from the Skull Society members and the black jeep.
"Big brother, the Skull Society members are walking towards us!"
Xiao Xiao looked at Ye Feng with a nervous expression, her hand already on the trigger of her Beretta BU9 Nano pistol.
"En!"
Ye Feng nodded slightly, his eyes narrowing.
Soon, the Skull Society members arrived in front of the Hummer.
"Shh, a practically new military Hummer, how rare. Guys in the car, come out and say hello!"
The Skull Society member who had just killed the bracelet-wearer whistled, patted the car door next to the driver's seat, and shouted.
"Big brother!"
Xiao Xiao turned to look at Ye Feng, her index finger already on the trigger of the Beretta.
"Don't worry, I'll go take a look!~"
Ye Feng smiled slightly at Xiao Xiao, opened the car door, and got out.
"Oh?!"
Upon seeing Ye Feng, all the Skull Society members' eyes lit up, and the man with the Mosin-Nagant rifle even smiled.
"Kid, you've got a pretty unique outfit. I, Wu Xiong, like it very much!"
The man with the Mosin-Nagant rifle licked his lips and grinned at Ye Feng.
"Oh, really?"
"I like it too!"
Ye Feng glanced down at his T-shirt and casual pants and replied indifferently.
Hearing this, the Skull Society member who called himself Wu Xiong's expression immediately turned cold.
"Yoho, lucky day today. We've encountered two... possibly even three bracelet-wearers!"
At this moment, the door of the black jeep opened, and a man with a handlebar mustache, who looked around 30 years old, got out.
The handlebar-mustached man wore a tank top and no skull-patterned hat, but a large skull was tattooed on his thick arm.
"Scorpion boss, I... I found another bracelet-wearer!"
Seeing the handlebar-mustached man get out, Wu Xiong nervously approached him and stammered.
Scorpion, the boss of these Skull Society members, gave Wu Xiong a cold glance and said indifferently, "Capture them alive. Absolutely do not let the bracelets be lost!"
"Understood!"
Hearing this, Wu Xiong felt as if he had been granted amnesty. He turned to Ye Feng and said, "Kid, oh no, bracelet-wearer, don't worry, I'll entertain you properly!"
With that, Wu Xiong put on a pair of black gloves and lunged towards Ye Feng.
The other Skull Society members, after putting on their black gloves, followed closely behind.
"Bang! Crack~!"
"Pfft!"
The tall and burly Wu Xiong had just rushed in front of Ye Feng, preparing to grab Ye Feng's hands and twist them behind his back.
But at this very instant, Ye Feng instantly raised his leg and kicked rapidly at Wu Xiong's chest, directly caving it in. The sound of breaking ribs kept ringing out.
The next second, Wu Xiong spat out a mouthful of blood and was sent flying backward, knocking over several Skull Society members behind him...
"Bang! Crack!"
"Ah!~... Uhg......."
"Bang! Pfft~!......."
Subsequently, sounds of impact, broken bones, screams, and spitting blood continued to be heard.
In a short while, all seven or eight Skull Society members who had aggressively charged at Ye Feng lay on the ground, groaning in pain.
"Kid, you're the most capable bracelet-wearer I've ever seen!"
"But, no matter how strong you are, can you withstand bullets!"
Glancing at his subordinates lying on the ground, the Skull Society squad leader Scorpion showed no sign of panic. He was aiming a Desert Eagle at Ye Feng.
"Screech!"
As soon as Scorpion finished speaking, a tearing sound instantly rang out.
"Ah!~"
This was immediately followed by Scorpion's piercing scream.
