Chapter 401: Rusty City Strange Stories

Gan Mi's pupils shrank slightly.

He was already in a state of panic due to the troublesome monster. When he saw Xinan rushing in with the car, he almost suspected that the monster had some hallucinogenic skills. Why did he see a mad dog here?

But then, an even more incomprehensible scene appeared.

Countless corpses formed a strange corpse-mountain-like monster, waving gray flesh and blood to form arm-like limbs. Its huge body squirmed out of the black membrane, and it looked not much smaller than the city rules.

“…What the hell.”

The monster composed of vengeful ghosts was so spectacular that it almost attracted all of Gan Mi's attention. He murmured, unable to believe his eyes.

However, before he could react, he felt an unusual air fluctuation behind him.

Gan Mi subconsciously raised his hand to build a new air wall to block the damage. However, the extremely solid defense skill was shattered in an instant!

"puff--"

Blood splattered everywhere and a stinging pain came from behind.

Gan Mi knew who was behind him without looking back. He glanced at the shabby police car that had crashed into the flowing metal and found that the person who had just been standing on the roof of the car was gone.

"Finally I caught you!"

Xinan's mouth curled up, and he felt that the Blood Moon in his hand could sense his mood, and it trembled slightly after the successful attack. The inorganic electronic sound accompanied the second attack.

It was a pity that the second strike failed.

Gan Mi didn't look back. He slightly turned sideways to avoid the attack and adjusted his position in the air.

Then, he tilted his head and glanced back, and the clear figure gradually became blurred, as if it had moved instantly.

Xinan, who had originally relied on a leap to reach his opponent in mid-air, realized something was wrong the moment Gan Mi's figure disappeared. Facing the black unknown fluid rushing over from a distance, Xinan's superb combat sensitivity caused his falling body to turn in a different direction, adjusting his posture to speed up his fall.

If Gan Mi was not there, Xinan could definitely avoid this attack.

But there is no if!

As he fell, he felt an invisible wall blocking his way for a moment.

The previous adjustments were in vain. In an instant, a fluid object several meters wide came at Xinan. The moment it touched Xinan's body, it became indestructible and its power increased dramatically.

Gan Mi then emerged from the air with a frown on his face.

Looking at Xinan being knocked away by the rule monster, he dodged another attack. Now being attacked from both sides, Gan Mi hesitated about which opponent to deal with first.

But soon, he found that he couldn't handle any of them.

Before Xinan, who was caught in the collision, fell to the ground, the monsters from the pile of corpses that poured in from the side rushed up with a roar.

As a monster composed of the resentment of the dead, its target is also Xinan.

At this moment, it suddenly discovered that its target was being robbed by other monsters. Its confused consciousness and anger surged, and it completely became a demented monster, starting an indiscriminate attack mode!

Countless thin ropes made of flesh and blood appeared on the arms of the corpse mountain. It brandished its weapon and rushed towards the rule monster.

In a flash, the battle situation turned around!

Xinan seized the new opportunity.

Feeling the liquid metal that hit his body soften, he exerted force with his feet, found the right moment and rushed out.

Before Gan Mi could relax her frown, she was confronted by the mad dog charging at her...

"Are you ill?"

Gan Mi felt like he was about to collapse.

"Can't you see what a fucking mess this place is? If you want to fight, can you wait until I deal with this monster?" He fought back, cursing under his breath.

Xinan's eyes were filled with a burning desire to fight, and his answer came down along with the flash of his sword.

"oh."

This answer is indeed perfunctory.

Gan Mi was so angry that she felt dizzy and blurted out: "You are still a human being now, right? Can you care about the life and death of humans?!"

No matter what, the mimetic is still a rational monster, and if the creation under the stone tablet is really successfully conceived, I am afraid that all creatures including the mimetic and humans will become its food.

It’s a pity that Xinan has a different opinion on this.

"Everyone will die anyway, sooner or later." He was frighteningly calm when talking about death.

As if to prove his fairness and justice, Xinan even pointed at the black shell that flashed by after dodging an attack from the rule monster.

"Well, it's no exception."

Everything in the world will eventually return to nothingness.

Gan Mi spoke through gritted teeth.

"…I think your mental illness is getting worse!"

There were probably too many psychopaths in this world. He even began to miss the time when he had just talked with Xu Zhiyan. Although the other party was cheating, at least his brain was normal!

At this time, Xu Zhiyan, who had come to his senses, had already found a relatively safe place and actually got a chance to catch his breath.

The battle situation, which was not going smoothly to begin with, became even more chaotic after Mad Dog and the Vengeful Spirit joined in.

Xu Zhiyan looked at the square that was almost in ruins and fell silent.

The situation has turned into a fight among the four parties.

The rule monster fought one against three, indiscriminately attacking the vengeful ghost and Gan Mi and Xinan; the vengeful ghost's main target was to hunt down Xinan, but Xinan was fighting with Gan Mi, and the black fluid kept attacking it, causing it to include the rule monster in the kill category as well. As for attacking Gan Mi, it was because the opponent was too close to its target, so it just did it casually.

The remaining two people looked for opportunities to attack each other while dodging the attacks from the two behemoths...

Xu Zhiyan found a rock to sit on and started watching the battle from the sidelines.

Good news, no one hit him.

Bad news, he can't get out.

Since Xinan's live broadcast room was still open, when Gan Mi and Xu Zhiyan appeared in the same frame, a large number of viewers flocked in.

【Wow! So exciting! 】

[Hahahaha, congratulations to Xiao Baiwan for getting the front row close-up viewing experience! ]

[I am dying of laughter, hahahaha, what kind of a brawl is this. 】

[Others: in dire straits, Xiao Baiwan: peaceful and quiet.]

【Hahahahahahahahaha the main reason is that he doesn't look like he really wants to do it.】

[Eh? Xiao Baiwan is moving! Oh, he's moving towards the center of the battle zone! What's going on? Is he planning to intervene in the battle? ]

[But Brother Gouzi, Boss Gan, is also really good at fighting...]

The live broadcast room with three audiences pouring in was extremely lively. From the corner of the screen, it could be seen that Xu Zhiyan seemed to have rested enough and suddenly stood up and moved towards the center area.

The ground of the entire central square was flying, and cracks appeared one after another, dividing the ground. In many places, it was bottomless.

Quietly avoiding the huge monster in the melee, Xu Zhiyan dodged the random attacks.

He had a trump card that gave him absolute safety time, so he wasn't too worried about being attacked.

The movement speed was very slow along the way. It seemed that Xu Zhiyan was not only avoiding the rule monsters and vengeful ghosts, but also chose to move in the blind spot of Gan Mi and Xinan's vision most of the time...

Ten minutes later, the largest crack in the ground next to the stone tablet came into view.

However, the attacks in the core battle zone were very intense. He had only taken a few steps when he felt two pairs of eyes falling on him.

...Tsk, I was discovered after all.

Xu Zhiyan frowned and pretended nothing happened.

Until he got around the stone tablet behind the rule monster and noticed two pairs of eyes following him more closely, he simply stopped avoiding his figure, turned around and waved at the two people who were busy fighting each other.

"Bang--"

The wall of air blocked the attack that was coming at his side.

Xu Zhiyan looked at the two people who had obviously entered battle damage mode, and began to assign tasks seriously.

"It looks like you comrades are ready to save the world. Just follow my instructions."

The two men, who had just gotten closer but were still fighting each other, paused unconsciously when they heard the sound and were attacked by the other party again.

"How about a temporary truce?" Xu Zhiyan coughed lightly and spoke as if nothing had happened.

"Boss Gan, open an air wall to cover the three of us, and then we can follow the gap to its lair. This way we can eliminate the vengeful spirits and kill the rule monster."

As soon as these words were spoken, Gan Mi instantly understood Xu Zhiyan's intention.

The vengeful ghost is different from them, it is a creature of rules, so it can attack rule monsters. At this time, the vengeful ghost's target is Xinan. As long as they take Xinan deep into the core of the rule monster, it will inevitably cause the two monsters to fight more fiercely...

No! That's not right! How did Xu Zhiyan know that the monster's lair was down there?

"What other information do you have?" Gan Mi couldn't help but look up, with doubt in his voice.

Seeing that the other two stopped and did not refute, Xu Zhiyan smiled and said: "Of course it is the information of the core of the rule monster. You don't think that I have done nothing after sealing me in the factory for so long?"

At this point, he no longer concealed anything and revealed the plan he had already arranged.

"It likes gold and eats living things."

All the cruel products of the Sunlight Handicraft Processing Factory were handed over to the city's rules in exchange for living space for humans in the factory area.

"I've already used up several hundred kilograms of gold in just a few days, but I'll just consider this gold an investment."

Xu Zhiyan stood upright and talked eloquently. If the surroundings were not in ruins, he might have looked more like a serious businessman explaining new products at a product launch conference.

“Now is the time to collect your reward.”

Special props were used to hide the red line connecting the Holy Child to the Immaculate Virgin Mary. The golden statue of the Holy Child replaced the living craft. The goods were delivered to the city center at night, and the core coordinates were fed back to Xu Zhiyan.

"Even if Boss Gan doesn't ask me to cooperate, I will get rid of the monster."

Not to mention the props hidden by the Holy Child, there are still some rules operating in the city. Xu Zhiyan asked Lier to buy land in the city in the name of the factory.

"I love its greed so much. Monsters who like gold are very tasteful!"

At first glance, Xu Zhiyan's tone sounds very sincere, but combined with the content, it is hard to think that he is not mocking the city rules.

"This is thanks to the city's housing purchase system. As long as you give gold, you can buy a property."

Now, many areas of the city have become real estate under the name of the factory, including the commercial street mentioned by Xu Zhiyan earlier...

"If it weren't for the fact that Central Plaza couldn't be purchased, I might have refused the cooperation just now."

Xu Zhiyan said this to Gan Mi.

Ghosts and gods cannot leave the factory area, so all we need to do is expand the factory area infinitely, and ghosts and gods will be able to go to more places.

This is his plan B, which saves time and effort.

"Of course, the current situation is not too bad." Xu Zhiyan pointed to the ground.

"Would you two like to cooperate?"

"The initiative is in my hands. I hope you can consider it carefully."

It is not a bad idea to let the monsters consume each other, and the number of vengeful spirits is somewhat beyond expectations. Xu Zhiyan has always been supportive of things that can reduce the burden on Party A.
