"Don't worry, the bounty on you hasn't reached Malaysia yet, but I reckon it'll be soon."
The driver said calmly, taking off the sun hat on his head.
"Charles? What are you doing here?"
Johnny's gun was only lowered, not pointed at him, as he wasn't sure if the other person was planning to turn him in for the bounty.
"Don't worry, I'm not interested in your pathetic bounty."
Charles waved his hand, "I happened to have a few friends in Philippines who found out some things. I just speculated that you'd come here, because if you want to leave Philippines, there are only a few places you can go, and I just happened to be in Malaysia, so I waited for you here for two extra days."
After hearing Charles's words, Johnny was dumbfounded. How could someone be so smart?
To deduce his destination from such limited clues, such a high-IQ killer was truly difficult to deal with.
Johnny admitted that he couldn't do that.
"So, you came to see me, not just to show off your intelligence, right?" Johnny said with a hint of sarcasm.
Hearing Johnny's words, Charles glared at him, then said, "This is Malaysia. There are some rather tricky opponents here. You should be careful."
Alright, if that was all, Johnny didn't waste any more words with him, opened the car door, and got out.
Watching the taxi disappear around the corner, Johnny could only walk forward.
At this moment, a boy was slowly approaching Johnny on a bicycle from ahead. Johnny didn't pay attention and continued to wander the street.
Bang!
When the bicycle reached Johnny, its tire suddenly burst, and the sound startled Johnny. He looked around warily but didn't see anyone. He then realized it was the bicycle's tire that had burst, so he moved to the right and continued walking forward.
The boy got off the bike, looked at his tire, and then dejectedly pushed the bicycle towards the repair shop.
Just then, a potted plant near the window sill swayed in the wind and then fell from upstairs.
Johnny, who was walking forward, suddenly felt the hair on his back stand on end. He instinctively stopped.
A whooshing sound suddenly came from in front of him, followed by a'smash' sound. A potted plant shattered into pieces about 30cm in front of him.
If that potted plant had landed squarely on his head, the consequences would have been unimaginable.
In an instant, Johnny looked up, but there was nothing there.
The blowing wind made Johnny conclude that this was likely just an accident.
A few passersby also looked at the potted plant on the ground in surprise, marveling at Johnny's good luck.
Johnny walked around the scattered fragments and continued forward.
Further ahead was a corner, where a small oil tanker was slowly driving down. Below, a group of people were escorting a man in a suit and tie, walking up the stairs.
Several cars were slowly driving up from the bend below. At this moment, a motorcyclist from a distance kept overtaking, entering the bend ahead of these cars and continuing uphill.
At the very top of the slope was a long passage where an asphalt paver was working. Several road workers were pouring asphalt onto the ground, slowly filling the potholes.
When Johnny reached this point, he subconsciously glanced at the asphalt paver above, then at the oil tanker. After a moment of thought, he continued uphill. But as he walked, he consciously kept to the right, close to the wall.
The group of people escorting the man in the suit and tie behind him were also moving quickly forward, and soon they were very close to Johnny.
As if remembering something, Johnny suddenly stopped and pulled out his phone.
Just then, he looked up at the sky. At the very top of the case, on the building at the peak of the uphill slope, something was teetering.
A sense of crisis instantly welled up in his heart. He looked at the teetering object, whatever it was, then at the asphalt paver below, and then turned his gaze to the small oil tanker at the bend.
He silently put his phone back in his pocket, then turned and slowly walked back in the direction he came from.
Just then, the water tower-like object above finally fell from the building, making a huge sound on the ground.
After rolling twice on the ground, due to the downhill slope, the kinetic energy generated by these two rolls began to accumulate, and the huge water tank started rolling on the ground.
The road workers who were repairing the road saw this scene and quickly moved aside. Just like that, the water tank crashed heavily into the rear of the asphalt paver.
The next moment, the asphalt paver slowly started to move.
"What the fuck! Hans didn't pull the handbrake?"
One of the road repair workers looked at the runaway vehicle with shock. The driver, Hans, was nowhere to be found, probably slacking off.
However, since everyone was already a bit far from him at this point, and the vehicle was slowly sliding downhill, one of the workers bravely rushed up to try and pull the handbrake, but he found the car door was locked.
"Fuck you! Hans!"
The worker was furious and could only watch as the car sped up, eventually rushing down the slope.
Meanwhile, the bend below was still congested with traffic. The motorcyclist was stuck in the middle of the road, cursing loudly. Cars couldn't go up, and cars couldn't come down.
The increasingly fast oncoming vehicle finally crashed into the car behind the oil tanker, instantly crushing that car into a metal pancake.
And the previously somewhat blocked bend seemed to clear up a little in an instant.
But the motorcyclist's fate was tragic, because he was stuck in the middle of the road, unable to go up or down. That previous collision caused the oil tanker to lurch forward a bit, directly sandwiching him between the two vehicles.
The asphalt paver, which had crashed into the small car, began to overturn, then pressed down on the small car going uphill. After pinning that car down, scalding asphalt directly seeped out of the opening.
The unlucky motorcyclist was drenched in asphalt and instantly let out a wail, then fell silent.
Johnny, who had turned back, looked at everything before him, a bit dumbfounded, "Holy crap! Has the Grim Reaper arrived?"
However, the incident wasn't over. The tank of the oil tanker was loose, and as the motorcyclist was scalded to death by the asphalt, the tank also rolled down.
Thud!
With a huge thud, it rolled directly downhill along the uphill slope.
The group of people who were originally preparing to go up were also stunned. They wanted to run away, but it seemed too late.
The oil in the tank had already leaked out during the collision, and the flames from the wreckage of the car that had been crushed into a metal pancake ignited it. Instantly, the flames spread from that direction all the way to the tank.
Boom!
Then there was a huge explosion, the shockwave instantly spread out, and flames shot everywhere.
The car windows of the surrounding parked cars were all shattered in an instant, and even the windows of nearby residents' houses were not spared.
Johnny, who was further away, was even thrown to the ground by the shockwave.
Thump!
A hand wearing a wristwatch fell about 50cm from Johnny, its fingers still twitching slightly.
