Chapter 127: Taking a Risk
The wheat-colored skin matched with strong muscles, Bai Shishi was momentarily mesmerized, even licking her rosy lips involuntarily.
Because moving was inconvenient with clothes, Lin Tian took off his clothes and exerted his legs with force.
His whole body leapt up, with both hands directly grabbing the outside of the cargo box, arms tensed, teeth clenched, using every ounce of strength he had.
Due to the pressure of his powerful strength, his biceps had already formed a small arch-like mountain, and we saw Lin Tian’s suspended body stubbornly push upwards, disappearing at the cargo box door.
"Amazing!"
Bai Shishi’s beautiful eyes widened, just watching the place where Lin Tian disappeared, full of praise.
After climbing to the top of the heavy truck’s cargo box, Lin Tian was immediately hit by gusts of strong wind, leaving him slightly breathless, but he adapted after a few heavy gasps and crawled forward along the cargo box top.
Soon, Lin Tian reached the end of the cargo box, seeing about a two-meter gap between the cab and the cargo box, he hesitated for a moment...
"How to get over that?"
Climbing over was impossible, but if he didn’t get into the heavy truck’s cab, how could he stop the truck?
This was a dilemma, retreat meant letting the truck continue, but moving forward, with such speed and a two-meter gap, even if he could jump over, landing on the cab wasn’t guaranteed, and if he overshot or missed...
He would certainly be thrown off the speeding truck, and falling to the ground, he wouldn’t survive unscathed—even death was imaginable!
"What to do?"
Frowning, Lin Tian faced a tough choice, to jump or not to jump!
Ultimately, in indecision, he made a decision, gritting his teeth, deciding to take the risk!
Lin Tian, lying on the top of the cargo box in the strong wind, gazed into the distance, seeing an endless asphalt road ahead, with no turns, which allowed his tense heart a moment of respite.
No bends meant he wouldn’t be thrown off; neither the cargo box top nor the cab top had places to securely grip. At high speed, a turning truck would mean certain death for Lin Tian.
Mentally prepared, Lin Tian bent his knees, his dark eyes turned fierce, his whole body tensed.
"Hoo, hoo!"
After several deep breaths, Lin Tian stepped forward, sprinting three or four meters, his legs fiercely propelled off the cargo box.
Lin Tian could clearly feel the heat in his abdomen, his body ascending, surpassing the two-meter gap between the cargo and cab...
"No... no good!" Initially thinking he hadn’t used enough strength to jump onto the cab, as he was about to land, his expression changed.
Afraid he hadn’t used enough power to land accurately on the cab, Lin Tian had amplified his force, and this backfired, flying over the cab, showing no signs of stopping.
If he continued forward, he would fall in front of the cab; the speeding heavy truck might directly crash him, shredding his thin body!
In mid-air, Lin Tian forcefully twisted his body to stop moving forward and heavily crashed onto the cab.
The heavy truck’s cab wasn’t wide; Lin Tian’s leap was slightly forward, and though landing on the cab, his body quickly slid downward, frantically grabbing an air vent on the cab to steady himself.
Unfortunately, his legs swung back and forth on the heavy truck’s windshield, exposing his traces completely to the people inside the cab.
Two people sat inside the heavy truck’s cab; one driving wore sunglasses, while the other in a suit, smoking, sat in the passenger seat.
"There’s someone on the roof, go check it out!"
The driver, seeing Lin Tian’s legs swinging on the windshield, turned to his companion.
"I’ll go stop him, you notify the boss. It seems the people in the cargo box have been taken care of!"
The suited man in the passenger seat, with a serious expression, took out a black handgun from his pocket, opened the door, and climbed the ladder to the roof.
Lin Tian, having barely steadied himself with his arms on the cab, hadn’t even caught his breath when he saw a hand holding a black handgun appear in his view.
This scared him, and instantly he realized that just narrowly slipping off the cab had exposed him—his legs sliding across the windshield must have been noticed, and this person was coming to deal with him.
Without hesitation, Lin Tian lay on the cab and crawled quickly, reaching the ladder on the right side, just as the suited man’s face emerged.
Lin Tian and the suited man saw each other up close and froze.
The next second, Lin Tian swung his right fist fiercely, but as the suited man had one hand on the gun, the other gripping the ladder, he couldn’t dodge or attack, merely tucking his neck and ducking his head.
Although Lin Tian’s punch missed, it blocked the suited man from climbing up, and the next second, he grabbed at the suited man’s handgun-holding right hand.
Probably anticipating Lin Tian’s move, his opponent withdrew his right hand without hesitation, dodging once more.
So the two remained stuck, one on the roof, one on the ladder, unable to break the deadlock.
"Brake, brake!"
The suited man, gripping the ladder, while Lin Tian was on the roof with hardly anywhere to hold on, shouted into the cab.
The suited man’s shout was loud, audible not just to the sunglasses-wearing driver but also to Lin Tian lying on the roof.
Hearing the word "brake," Lin Tian realized trouble was imminent, gripping the air vent tightly.
"Screech~!"
Just then, the heavy truck suddenly halted, its wide tires fiercely grating against the asphalt, emitting wisps of white smoke.
The suited man tightly clutched the ladder, barely stable, nearly being thrown off.
If this was the case for the suited man, what about Lin Tian on the roof? Holding the roof vent with strength, his body could barely resist being thrown forward during the sudden brake—he would have flown off if he weren’t strong enough.
After a few seconds of pause, the heavy truck engine roared again, accelerating quickly forward.
Feeling the speed change, Lin Tian knew he couldn’t delay further; if this repeated a few times, he’d surely be thrown off when exhausted.
Seizing the opportunity when the truck accelerated, Lin Tian quickly dashed toward the ladder, and before the suited man reacted, he leapt off the roof.
As he slid down, Lin Tian grabbed the ladder with both hands, his whole body clinging to the suited man’s back.
