XG 25 - Jump, and I will kill you

Coincidentally, they reached the third floor which also had more survivors noticing them.

Wong Xue Guo felt a sense of panic seeing their faces lit up upon seeing them. "Why do I feel something bad might happen..."

"Yibo, can this thing go faster?" Suzie Yap asked with a taut face. She was the clearest on what humans would do just to survive.

"This is the fastest," Chen Yibo said. It was expected, as this carriage was designed for the purpose of convenience and safety of the worker.

Someone above managed to pry open the window and yelled, "Bring us too!"

"Shit!" Chen Jiang An cursed when he saw that person wanted to jump down.

"Don't!" Wong Xue Guo yelled in panic as she grasped the metal sides tighter but the person had already jumped down. She could already imagine the wires supporting the carriage would break down from the extra weight added in rather forcefully.

Suzie Yap quickly grabbed her daughter, hiding her in her embrace, and stabilized them with her knees bent when the person landed roughly in the carriage. Wong Xue Guo's scream was muffled against her mother's shirt as she felt the carriage swinging back and forth dangerously.

Unbalanced, Kim Sung-Ho smacked against the railing, and Vihaan quickly dragged him back to the center. Despite the fierce swinging, he still took the time to rub the boy's upper arm that was hit.

"I don't feel pain," Kim Sung-Ho said to calm Vihaan down, but it only made the older man feel distressed. Once he knew Kim Sung-Ho was special, Vihaan could no longer view the young boy as ordinary and grew even more worried about him.

The carriage had not stabilized properly yet when another person wanted to jump down after seeing someone succeed.

Suzie Yap's eyes turned cold immediately, which was in contrast to her soothing motion of rubbing her daughter's back. The carriage was already loudly groaning in protest from the extra weight that was forcefully added. Another will definitely break down one of the main wires and unbalance them.

The carriage barely passed the third floor, and their fall would definitely break their bones, if they were lucky that was the most serious injury. Suzie Yap could jump down from this height without serious injury if she was by herself, but her fragile daughter was now with her.

She never thought she would need to show her daughter this degree of cruelty this early in the game.

Pulling out her handgun, she shot up at the sky and the loud bang successfully stopped that person from jumping.

"Jump, and I will kill you." Suzie Yap promised. "If you want to survive, find a rope and climb down by yourself."

"How can you just leave without helping us?" A woman yelled, sounding righteous as she questioned them. "There is still space there!"

"Jump if you dare to eat my bullet!" Suzie Yap dared them with a sneer.

"Bullshit! Murder is a crime!" A man yelled.

"Who cares what she says anyway? She is just talking big!" A college boy exclaimed and jumped down.

A loud gasp escaped Wong Xue Guo's lips as she watched the figure coming closer in horror. She hurriedly grabbed her mother as she reached out at the dangling rope with another hand. But Suzie Yap slipped away from her and charged towards the shadow. With a roundhouse kick, she sent the figure off the course, and the college boy screamed as he fell straight down the building.
