Three men were immediately pinned to the ground. Lin Xiao stared at them, then reached out and removed the masks from their protective suits.
"Ah!!!"
The three men covered their mouths and noses almost simultaneously, letting out terrified cries.
"..."
Firing a gun was nothing to Ye Chen and Lin Xiao, but the sudden screams from these men made it seem as if they had been tortured.
"What are you yelling about?" Ye Chen snapped. "We haven't even started interrogating you yet!"
"We'll tell you whatever you want to know! Don't come any closer! I don't want to get infected!"
The driver's cry was the most piercing, as if he saw himself infected and was terrified of Lin Xiao approaching.
"..."
Lin Xiao stood there, did he look like a patient?
"Possession of firearms and firing them will have consequences when we get back!" Ye Chen said as he dialed the police.
"I know... but please, put on a mask when you talk! I can't hold my breath much longer!"
The driver covered his mouth and nose, his face turning red. The two men next to him were the same, seemingly afraid to breathe.
"I've received the latest vaccine, and I'm currently negative for nucleic acid. He is too."
Lin Xiao couldn't help but speak.
Upon hearing Lin Xiao's words, the three of them instantly released their hands from their mouths and noses, gasping for air.
"These three... do they have some kind of stress reaction?" Ye Chen's mouth gaped, seeing this scene. It was a situation he had never anticipated.
"They're timid, that's why."
Lin Xiao shook his head.
"We know you, you're the War God." The three then began to confess their wrongdoing.
These three were actually robbers.
To be precise, they were three novice robbers who had just planned a robbery.
They had only recently obtained their guns.
All three were terrified of infection. Firstly, they had seen the suffering of those who were ill, and secondly, three years ago, they had personally witnessed someone fall ill and die.
They didn't want to die.
"So you decided to rob people?"
Lin Xiao looked at the handgun on the ground and said coldly, "And you fired it. If it weren't for us, these two shots would have taken two lives."
"I don't want to die."
The man subdued by Lin Xiao said, staring at Lin Xiao. "These past three years have worn me down. You definitely can't understand me."
"For three years, the place we were in was under lockdown for over a year."
"Originally, the company we three started together, over these three years, went from booming to slowly sinking into an abyss."
"The company collapsed."
"All the money was lost."
"Nothing was left."
"Now that things have opened up, so many people are sick, and we can't do anything in the short term."
"Our money is almost gone too."
As he spoke, his eyes gradually became hollow. "I have nothing left."
"Since I have nothing left, I'll do one big thing. If it succeeds, we'll become bigger and stronger, and create more glory. If it fails, it'll just be a quick end for us who are on the verge of desperation."
He said, letting out a bitter laugh.
"With you like this, do you not have children?"
Lin Xiao narrowed his eyes and suddenly asked.
"I have a son."
"Then your son will probably thank you for the rest of his life," Ye Chen said with a cold smile. "Thanks to a father like you, he won't be able to have a good life anymore."
