Zombie Bodyguard

Chapter 1706 - 1703: Batmobile

When Lin Tian drove away from Yunquan Villa, Captain Dong Shan even specially walked them a stretch of the way. As they parted, this security captain kindly reminded him, "Mr. Lin, I heard from my men that you and Dong Feixiang had a bit of a conflict. His face didn’t look so good when he left just now. Please be careful, he’s a particularly vengeful person."

"Revenge?" Lin Tian raised his sword‑like brows and chuckled.

Seeing Lin Tian didn’t seem to care, Dong Shan spoke seriously again, "Mr. Lin, this is absolutely not a joke. He’s beaten more than one person, and he has lots of shady friends on the street. Mr. Yun treats us subordinates very well, and since Mr. Lin is Mr. Yun’s friend, we don’t want anything to happen to Mr. Yun’s friend."

"Okay, thank you for telling me this." Lin Tian nodded in thanks, but what he was thinking was that this little brat Xiao Tian was actually quite popular in the Yun Family—at least these subordinates really supported him.

The car drove onto the road outside the villa. Since they hadn’t entered the city yet, at this time there were very few people and cars. Tall trees lined both sides. In the daytime it would be a nicely landscaped environment, but at night it looked a bit eerie, and the streetlights instead added a touch of horror.

"These rich people, seriously, they live in a place this deserted. If some bad guys robbed them clean, no one would even know." Zhong Ling looked out the window and shook her head in confusion.

"What rich people enjoy is exactly this kind of quiet. Their villas and manors all have advanced security systems installed, and most of their guards are retired mercenaries and special forces. Normal thieves come here just to deliver themselves up." He Xiaofei retorted.

"Sometimes there are exceptions too, like right in front of us..." Lin Tian suddenly slowed down, then gently braked to a stop. Looking into the distance, a cold smile appeared on his face.

About a hundred meters away, because of the night, things were a little blurry, but you could still see a dozen or so figures swaying by the roadside. He Xiaofei and Zhong Ling were ordinary flesh‑and‑blood bodies, so of course they couldn’t see what kind of people they were, but Lin Tian could see clearly.

Among that dozen, one of them was Wei Feixiang. The others either had weird spiky hair on their heads or tattoos on their arms; they were just short of writing the words "bad guy" right on their faces.

Xiao Manxuan blinked her big eyes and said uncertainly, "Is that guy in the distance Wei Feixiang?"

Lin Tian looked at her in surprise. "You can see him?"

"Uh... I can see a little." Xiao Manxuan focused her attention and stared a few more seconds, speaking hesitantly.

Something stirred in Lin Tian’s heart. He turned to look at He Xiaofei and Zhong Ling; the two of them were full of confusion, clearly not seeing anything.

What’s going on with Second Miss’s eyesight? A bunch of question marks rose in Lin Tian’s mind. But he had no time to think more. After the car stopped, the people in front also noticed Lin Tian.

"Brothers, it’s that car. Let’s go!" Wei Feixiang walked out, waved toward Lin Tian’s car, and a dozen men started walking toward Lin Tian.

"Lin Tian, how does Wei Feixiang know our car?" Xiao Manxuan asked in puzzlement.

Lin Tian gave a faint smile. "Aside from Liu Yuansi and Zhao Weitao tipping him off, who else could it be? They’ve been waiting for us, planning to take revenge."

"Revenge?" Zhong Ling’s face went a bit pale. She quickly said, "Lin Tian, let’s hurry and turn the car around and go back to Yunquan Villa. There are a lot of them."

Xiao Manxuan chuckled lightly, her face full of pride. "Sister Zhong Ling, did you forget Lin Tian’s fight on the ring? This few people are nothing to him."

"But... on the ring he only faced one person. There are more than ten of them; that’s a bit too many..." Zhong Ling still had no confidence. She’d never seen anyone fight ten alone.

Lin Tian didn’t explain anything. He unfastened his seat belt and was about to get out of the car when Little Ya’s pleasant voice suddenly rang out again: "Mr. Lin, actually you don’t need to get out. You can try the car’s defense system."

"Defense system?" Lin Tian and Xiao Manxuan both exclaimed in surprise, because they’d ridden in the car so many times and had no idea what this defense system thing was.

While they were puzzling over it, the car’s big display screen flickered, showing a structural diagram with some written annotations beside it.

"Compressed Air Cannon System!" Lin Tian couldn’t help reading it out. Xiao Manxuan and the other girls all had blank looks on their faces. Just hearing the name sounded weird.

Little Ya’s voice sounded again: "The compressed air cannon system is composed of a high‑power miniature air compressor, air storage tank, electromagnetic control system, and exhaust pipe, all developed by the Yun Family. The high‑power compressor draws in air, compresses it into high‑density, high‑pressure air, and stores it in the tank."

"We can open the air outlet via an electromagnetic switch. The high‑density, high‑pressure compressed air will then jet out of the exhaust pipe. Its power can blast a person off their feet, but it won’t injure them, thus achieving a defensive effect." Little Ya explained in great detail.

Although the three in the car were all top science students, this gadget was industrial design—a type of engineering stuff. It sounded simple, but when they thought about it carefully, they couldn’t quite grasp the principles.

However, Lin Tian thought of when he traded blows with masters: with one punch, the air would be compressed, then explode, generating a fierce shockwave—probably something like that.

Of course, the power of this weird defense system in the car definitely wouldn’t be that great. The Yun Family wouldn’t dare make something that powerful. The space inside a car is limited; you can’t install equipment that big.

"Lin Tian, they’re coming over." Zhong Ling pointed ahead and suddenly cried out.

Lin Tian glanced over and saw that Wei Feixiang had already brought the dozen men to within ten meters. Every one of them was holding a baseball bat. One swing of those things could easily cause serious injuries.

At this distance both sides could clearly see each other’s expressions. But Wei Feixiang didn’t seem in a hurry to start swinging; he just led his men forward slowly. He wanted to savor the terrified expressions on Lin Tian and the others’ faces, like a cat toying with a mouse.

"Brother Xiang, the little girl in the car is pretty hot. Later let us... heh heh..."

The big guy next to Wei Feixiang stroked his chin and laughed sleazily, his face full of lechery.

Lin Tian’s eyes went cold. He ordered icily, "Little Ya, activate the defense system."

"Yes, sir!" Little Ya called crisply. The car vibrated slightly, and with a series of clacking sounds, the fenders on both sides of the front wheels flipped up, the middle of the hood opened, and three round "barrels" rose up, pointing at the punks in front.

These "barrels" were, of course, the exhaust pipes Little Ya had mentioned, used to release the compressed air. The car’s transformation startled the punks; the dozen men all stopped in their tracks.

But when they saw it was just three tube‑shaped things, they couldn’t help snickering. "Damn, scared the shit out of me. I thought it was some kind of freaky weapon. Turns out it’s just some kid’s toy. Watched too many cartoons, huh? Actually modded the car into this ugly mess."

"Hahaha, that’s fucking hilarious. He thinks this is the Batmobile or something? His brain must be busted." Another punk joined in the ridicule.

"Little Ya, what’s the range on this thing?" Lin Tian stared at that big guy, a cold smile on his lips.
