The next morning, Lin Rui used the AI terminal to call for a shared winged car, which stopped right at their home’s doorstep.
For safety’s sake, the car Lin Rui called for was still the luxury business model.
Just the night before, Lin Rui had heard the sound of motorcycle engines roaring outside the community more than once.
Lin Rui didn’t know if those were Blood Lizard Gang members, but he couldn’t rule out the possibility, given that the security in the Ninth Base had never been good. After all, this was an era where individual combat capabilities were off the charts. The government of the Ninth Base could barely ensure the common people could live and work in peace, so Lin Rui had to be a bit cautious.
Lin Xi obediently carried a few bags of luggage and got into the luxury business winged car with Lin Rui.
Last night, she had hacked the cameras outside the community and had seen the situation, knowing all too well how dangerous it was.
...
Indeed, there were some Blood Lizard Gang members surveilling the neighborhood.
As the car took off into the air and merged into a transparent ring highway tubing under the control of the automated driving system, Lin Rui turned his head and asked, “Lin Xi, what do you think about the matter we discussed yesterday?”
“Of course I agreed,” she said.
Lin Xi was in a bad mood. She felt unwilling and said glumly, “We’re now depending on others for our needs, not to mention that they helped us so much yesterday. How could we possibly refuse at this time? Besides, Miss Emerald’s offer is quite generous. I talked to her last night; she is truly sincere.”
Lin Xi was actually quite excited, because if she transferred to Mingde Alien Body College, she wouldn’t have to be a burden to her brother.
In the future, her scholarships and body augmentations would no longer pose problems, which would save the family a great deal of money.
Lin Xi herself was very interested in martial arts, especially after the incident the night before.

At that moment, Lin Xi’s face subtly changed, and she intently peered out the car window, “Brother, something is not right.”@@@@
Lin Rui had already noticed something amiss. There were suddenly nineteen floating motorcycles chasing from behind, zooming beside their luxury business winged car.
Several other vehicles had already positioned themselves in front, preventing the business winged car from accelerating.
The engines of these floating motorcycles were clearly modified, emitting piercing buzzing noises as they spewed out crimson flames.
The riders on the motorcycles were all dressed in cyberpunk style, sporting multicolored hair, studded leather jackets, strange face paints, and various metal rings.
Lin Rui also noticed that these people had Blood Lizard Gang lizard tattoos on their necks and arms.
This made him frown, as his return to Tianji Star had been incessant with troubles; as soon as one wave settled, another arose.
“Passengers, please be aware! Ambola has detected a total of 14 secondary threats and 5 tertiary threats outside the vehicle, with 12 individuals having serious criminal records. Ambola has activated the security protection system and reported to the nearby police station. Please ensure your personal safety,” announced the voice of Ambola, the AI system of the car sharing company.
Lin Rui didn’t wait for the electronic voice to finish, he emphasized, “I am aware of the consequences, open the sunroof immediately!”
Following his command, the vehicle’s roof window slowly opened up.
Lin Rui then unbuckled his seat belt, “Ambola, once I’m out, you must close the sunroof immediately. I’m the main passenger, that’s my order. Lin Xi, wait for me inside the car, be good and obey, don’t try to be brave!”
When he said this last sentence, his voice intensified, stern and forceful.
At that very moment, like a spring, Lin Rui’s figure leaped out of the sunroof.
The Blood Lizard Gang riders outside were first stunned upon seeing this, then burst into harsh laughter, with a few drawing their handguns and aiming at Lin Rui.
“Ha, this guy’s got guts! He actually dared to come out?”
“He’s got shit for brains, the idiot.”
“Yo-ho, just watch, I’m gonna blow his head off!”
“Shoot! Shoot!”
Lin Rui, expressionless, stepped on the roof of the business winged car, wrapped in a thunderous flash of electricity, and landed on top of a nearby floating vehicle, chopping down ferociously.
The green-haired rider on this vehicle was designated by the vehicle’s smart-driving system as a level three threat—a captain-class Martial Cultivator enhanced with synthetic serum.
“You’re asking for death!”
The green-haired rider looked up, eyes wide with a cold stare at Lin Rui, unexpectedly counterattacking instead of defending, abruptly pulling out a roughly four-foot-long, third-tier ‘mono-molecular combat knife’ from the motorcycle’s storage and slashing towards Lin Rui.
He found it amusing—this fool on top must not have any implanted energy vessels and yet dared to launch an attack from the car, choosing him imbued with synthetic serum as the first target.
But just as their blades were about to clash, a blood hole suddenly appeared in the center of the green-haired rider’s forehead.
What’s going on?
As this thought barely emerged in the green-haired rider’s mind, he lost all consciousness, his swung blade faltered, passing by the falling Lin Rui without contact.
Lin Rui cleanly decapitated his head and grabbed the mono-molecular combat knife, then with a swift kick, pushed the green-haired rider’s corpse off the motorcycle.
He then swung the long blade and took control of the floating motorcycle, steering it to the side.
“Bang!”
With a flash of thunder, blood mist sprayed, and another rider fell from their motorcycle, which, due to engine failure, uncontrollably smashed into the high-speed freeway’s surrounding transparent glass walls, producing a booming echo followed by a glaring burst of flame.
At this moment, streaks of silver filaments were whizzing by Lin Rui’s body.
