Chapter 13, Bombardment

"Cough cough~ I really should have listened to my third brother and left sooner."

The butterfly-faced clay figure felt its power being taken away by the king it had once served so devotedly, and closed its eyes, awaiting death.

"There's no going back in this world. Blame it on your arrogance that led to the deaths of your brothers."

Wang let out a smug, villainous smile, preparing to pull out the mirror, excluding the butterfly-faced clay figure as a potential hindrance.

At that moment, a large net descended from the sky, covering the king completely.

Wang felt a sense of foreboding. He remembered the headless witch who had been rescued and had tried to exchange herself for a part of his body, hoping to be resurrected after death.

Unfortunately, it forgot that the butterfly-faced clay figure beside it already hated it to the bone. How could it possibly let go of this opportunity to avenge its brother? With its last breath, it pounced on the king, trapping him under its body and not giving the king any chance to escape.

"Damn it, let go of the Butterfly-Faced Clay Figure."

Wang discovered that his body was bound by the butterfly-faced clay figure, and the transfer of equivalent exchange had failed. Enraged, he used a mirror to completely wipe out the other party and prepared to risk exhausting his mental energy to initiate a third equivalent exchange.

However, the short time that the butterfly-faced clay figure trapped the king was enough for Zhong Bingxuan to use the lightning card to char the king to ashes. The equivalent exchange magic circle was naturally interrupted midway, and the king died once again.

Taking advantage of the moment when the faceless mud figures were all turned into blood and Wang was electrocuted into black ash, Zhong Bingxuan took a mirror and went forward to clean up the battlefield, finishing off those who needed to be dealt with and taking all the spoils of war.

Half an hour later, after Zhong Bingxuan finished cleaning up the battlefield, a system message popped up in her mind.

[Congratulations to player Zhong Bingxuan for obtaining 2590 days of points, 240 days of life points, 28 Disguise Cards, one Equivalent Exchange Card, and one Butterfly Transformation Card.]

[Congratulations to Zhong Bingxuan for completing the First Class Ticket mission. Rewards include 10,000 points, 1,000 days of health, a map of the abandoned mine at the Apocalypse Train boarding point, and various Apocalypse First Class perks.]

[Global Announcement: The only First Class cabin owner, Zhong Bingxuan, has completed her mission. Her coordinates are now available. Please feel free to ask her for tips on upgrading your cabin.]

Before Zhong Bingxuan could even feel happy, the system's antics dampened her spirits. She wasn't naive enough to think that the system's talk of seeking advice was just a verbal request; she feared that the journey to board the train would be exceptionally difficult.

No matter how powerful the faceless clay figure is, it's still a monster. It's not as intelligent as a human, and it would be much harder for an experienced player who has already cleared several dungeons to deal with it.

"Hanmo, we..."

[Warning! Warning! Danger is approaching, move away as soon as possible.]

Zhong Bingxuan's words were interrupted by the frantic warning in her mind. Without time to think, she grabbed Li Hanmo and ran away into the distance.

Rumble~

A huge explosion rang out where Zhong Bingxuan had just left. Zhong Bingxuan and Li Hanmo were thrown back by the aftershocks and fell into the bushes.

Zhong Bingxuan's physical condition was worse than that of her boyfriend, a special forces king, and she couldn't help but vomit several mouthfuls of blood, causing Li Hanmo great anxiety.

"Ah Xuan, are you alright?"

"You won't die for now. Go to the boarding point and wait for me."

The system only released Zhong Bingxuan's coordinates; the coordinates of Li Hanmo and the other two teammates were not released, so that everyone doesn't get ambushed by unscrupulous players.

Zhong Bingxuan was severely injured by the aftershocks of the explosion and could hardly walk on her own. Not wanting to burden Li Hanmo, she asked him to go to the boarding point and wait for her.

"I'm not leaving."

Li Hanmo couldn't leave his girlfriend to face danger alone. He braced himself, which was aching from the fall, and led his girlfriend toward the location indicated by the red dot.

When Zhong Bingxuan completes her mission, the other team members can share the boarding point location of the Doomsday Train. However, this is only available to team members who have completed the first-class mission; those who have not completed their mission will not be able to see the boarding point location.

The boarding point for the apocalyptic train is different for each class of compartment, so there's no need to worry about different classes of compartments waiting at the boarding point to trap you like a turtle in a jar.

However, this didn't matter to Zhong Bingxuan. The system had already published her coordinates, and for someone with only one hand, escaping the endless stream of unscrupulous players was harder than climbing to heaven.

Zhong Bingxuan wanted Li Hanmo to leave first because she wanted to use her save-load ability to start over infinitely and kill these bastards one by one.

"Hanmo, you know about my special ability. I'll be fine. You go first and don't drag me down with you."

If Li Hanmo dies, he's really dead. Zhong Bingxuan doesn't know if she can revive Li Hanmo by reloading her save file, or if reloading would allow her to return to the time before Li Hanmo's death. There are too many uncertainties, so it's better to let Li Hanmo go first to avoid too many factors affecting him.

“But Ah Xuan, you will be in pain. I don’t want you to be in pain. Let me go with you. If I die, it will be my fate.”

Compared to Zhong Bingxuan, Li Hanmo is more stubborn and crazy.

He couldn't possibly run away and watch his girlfriend die countless times, tormented and on the verge of collapse. If he could exchange his death for his girlfriend's life, he was willing and would not hesitate to go and die.

Seeing that she couldn't persuade Li Hanmo, Zhong Bingxuan didn't waste any more words and ran towards the boarding point with Li Hanmo's help.

Explosions continued to erupt behind Zhong Bingxuan and Li Hanmo. Zhong Bingxuan couldn't help but smile wryly. Was this guy a human ammunition depot? It was like he was throwing explosives out of the house for free.

Explosives? If she remembered correctly, Hanmo's ever-changing backpack could also pull out explosives. Since she couldn't dodge them and would only exhaust herself, leaving her at the mercy of others, she might as well go crazy and fight the enemy.

"Hanmo, the Hundred-Transformation Backpack hasn't picked up any weapons today, has it?"

"No, it was left behind because the Faceless Mudman with its special ability couldn't escape."

Li Hanmo and Zhong Bingxuan were initially unaware that the special ability, Faceless Mudman, was a divine innate skill, so they left behind the number of weapon draws from the Ever-Changing Backpack just in case.

"Then let's pull out the explosives and fight those bastards behind us."

Zhong Bingxuan gritted her teeth, her eyes fierce.

"Okay, I'll go."

"No, I'll go."

“Ah Xuan, you’re swaying so much, don’t push yourself, I’ll go.”

Li Hanmo rejected Zhong Bingxuan's suggestion and took the blame for the explosives incident upon himself.

"My superpower allows me to live, but you can't."

Zhong Bingxuan thought that if she said that, her boyfriend would definitely agree.

But Li Hanmo's words stunned her.

“You will not die, but you will be in pain, and the situation will not change much. You will still be physically weak and unable to engage in large-scale combat. I am different. With the versatile backpack in my hands, I can continuously pull out explosive packs to catch the enemy off guard. In fact, my body is better than yours, and I can dodge danger faster than you.”

Li Hanmo's words left Zhong Bingxuan speechless. Her second ability was to reload a save file, not to be reborn. Her physical condition would not change; she would simply return to a few seconds earlier.

When one's physical condition is poor, it is indeed not suitable to charge into battle.
