Rebirth: I Became a Maggot 2

Chapter 120 Entering the Woods

Finally, I got on the bus. Finally, I was going to the city. Finally, the story was about to begin. My heart was filled with longing. After a few days of exhaustion, my body was extremely tired, so I fell asleep.

I don't know how long I slept. Suddenly, there was a sudden stop, and then I heard the door open. A group of masked people came in and immediately started yelling "Robbery!"

Holy crap, what era are we living in? How can there still be robberies? When I saw that group of robbers, I thought it was a prank.

This isn't the 1970s anymore. These days, anyone who dares to rob someone is either incredibly lucky or has a death wish.

I almost cried. I can't believe I've encountered something so incredibly rare, something even harder to happen than winning the lottery.

Am I really that unlucky? But thankfully, those guys seemed to have ulterior motives; they actually kicked everyone off the bus.

I was planning to wait here until the robbers had robbed those people of their money before coming up and continuing on my way.

Anyway, I don't have any money on me, so I don't have to worry about them robbing me, and they can't even see me.

So I stayed on the roof and didn't move much. I just waited for those people to rob the people off the bus and then let them go so we could continue on our way.

But, I don't know if it was bad luck, but while I was waiting, several burning gasoline bottles were suddenly thrown at us, and the car started to catch fire in no time.

What the hell is going on? Robbery and car burning, have we encountered terrorists?

This is in China, not in the US or Baghdad. How could such a terrifying thing happen?

I almost cried. What's going on?

I quickly grabbed the big fly and flew outside, and the other flies in the car immediately flew out as well.

As soon as I got out, the car burst into flames, and the raging fire made me feel like I was being roasted alive.

I flew towards the crowd with all my might, barely managing to save my life.

As they flew into the middle of the group, they heard the robber say, "Tell your boss that this is not a road you should be using. This time it was just burning cars, next time it will be killing people."

The driver was trembling with fear, while the guy opposite him, who looked like a gang leader, was holding a watermelon knife and pointing it directly at the driver's neck.

Just like Chan Ho-nam pointing at his opponent, he was dashing and handsome, exuding an extraordinary domineering aura under the firelight.

This is the kind of cool and awesome feeling that young people want now. I think that young man holding a machete thinks he is extremely cool.

In my opinion, this is like those people who drive fast in a car and think they're cool; they feel cool, but they're actually just idiots.

These guys came prepared; they were all dressed in the same clothes, carrying machetes, and I even saw some homemade guns.

Five or six people looked down arrogantly at the passengers who were crying and panicking on the ground.

The guy who seemed to be the boss was really enjoying the effect he was seeing, thinking he was the boss after all.

But he had no idea that he was just a pawn being used by others, and that he would be used as a scapegoat if anything happened.

When had that driver kneeling on the ground ever seen such a scene? He was just a driver; there was no need for him to lose his life.

So they were too scared to speak and just kept trembling on the ground. It was clear that the driver didn't have a very good mental fortitude.

Judging from their appearance and movements, these people don't look like young people; they're obviously teenagers who were paid to do this kind of thing.

Such teenagers are the most ignorant; they dare to do anything, are fearless, but because they are young, they cannot be sentenced.

Therefore, a large number of school dropouts are now being exploited by criminals as thugs, leading to a shift in the age of crime towards younger people.

After the black-clad youth, who seemed to be the leader, finished speaking in a very arrogant manner, he led his group away. They got into several cars a short distance away and disappeared from my sight in the blink of an eye.

Those people were as if they were dreaming, unable to react for a moment, and couldn't believe that what they had encountered today was real.

It was like a dream. It took them a while to come to their senses, and they started crying, cursing, and pretending to hate.

Why didn't you say anything when those teenagers were holding knives?

Now that they've left, they're starting to act recklessly? Where were all those people on the bus, not united and fighting together?

I watched speechlessly as the group of people in the car cursed the departing boys in black, wondering what would happen next.

It's the middle of the night, and we're on the highway, so it's hard to say which car will pass by. The only thing we can do now is call the police and wait for them to arrive.

They can wait, but I can't. I need to get to the city. Besides, waiting for the police won't help.

But now I've encountered another problem: how do I get there? There are no cars on the highway, and even if there were, I can't get on unless they stop.

And this group of people clearly isn't planning to leave; they're just waiting for the bus here. What am I supposed to do?

Just then, someone excitedly said, "The Baidu search results on my phone say there's a gas station not far ahead. Shall we go over there to rest and wait for the police?"

Although it's not cold now, it's still late winter and early spring, and being exposed to the cold wind in the middle of the night is quite uncomfortable.

This suggestion was immediately accepted by everyone; waiting at a gas station is much better than waiting here, right?

Hearing this, I instantly had a plan. Gas stations always have cars stopping to refuel, so isn't this my chance? Once I get in the car, I'll be in the city, right?

Thinking of this, I immediately wanted to fly towards the gas station, but I quickly flew towards the person's hand to look at the map.

I want to see how far it is, whether to go with them or fly there first.

The map showed that we were only a few kilometers away from the gas station, which was practically right across from us. However, due to the highway, the gas station was located at a bend in the road, and we had to take a long detour to get there.

They're going to take a long detour, but I don't need to. I can just fly through the jungle and get directly to the gas station.

So I immediately told Dafu what I was thinking.

Dafu immediately rejected my idea, saying that the woods were extremely dangerous at night and that there were often strange noises.

Holy crap, what do you mean by strange sounds? Do you think it's some kind of back hill in the countryside? There are strange sounds here?

So despite Dafu's objections, I flew into the woods, and Dafu could only follow me in, feeling wronged...
