Chapter 405: Rusty City Strange Stories

Time goes back a few hours.

The game panel next to Gan Mi had been displaying the guild dialog box. He deliberately chose to make the panel transparent to ensure that Xu Zhiyan could not know the content.

During this period, the news about the Ghost Lion never stopped.

【Wang Ying: Jianghuai Partridge is too far away from me.】

【Wang Ying: And he ran away, so I had to find a way to get closer to him.】

【Wang Ying: Ah! I figured it out! Didn’t you say earlier that the Transportation Bureau’s car could be used? I’m pretty close to that place.】

As the first person to break through the dungeon by force, even though Guishi is often unreliable, Gan Mi has never doubted that she will fail in the killing mission.

[Wang Ying: Look what I found! Little~Dog~Dog~]

[Wang Ying: Great, I remember you said that if we can catch the dog master, that's fine too. We just need to cripple Jin Sheng and make him ask for help, then Jiang Huai will come to me himself!]

When Gan Mi learned that Wang Ying had met Jin Sheng, she chose to take the initiative to mention information related to the main system to Xu Zhiyan.

"I regret it. Let's not fight the monster in the central square. If the main system's plan really succeeds, humans will be the first to suffer."

Just as he predicted. Xu Zhiyan became extremely curious about the conspiracy of the main system.

Everything that followed went smoothly.

Because the content of their discussion could not be made public, Xu Zhiyan cut off contact with the public.

Including when the rabbit courier appeared, Gan Mi knew that Xu Zhiyan suddenly acted so eager, not only because he could make money, but also because he needed to send a message to his teammates through the rabbit monster...

But what can I do about it?

If Gan Mi was a little nervous at first, worried that Wang Ying would not be able to find Jiang Huaique, then after the other party found Jin Sheng and the main system restricted the use of props, his last bit of worry was dispelled.

No one can beat Wang Ying in pure combat power.

…

Rusty City No. 1 Middle School has been abandoned for many years. The rusty iron gate and the half-human-high weeds in the yard show that even the rules here have been almost completely devoured by the monsters in the city.

Jin Sheng hid in the utility room on the first floor of the school.

If Xu Zhiyan had followed his original plan, he should have driven to pick up Jiang Huaique and then rushed to the urban area that was acquired by the Sunlight Crafts Factory.

But Mad Dog hijacked his car, so the plan had to be changed.

If his luck was a little more average, he would follow Xu Zhiyan's plan B and go directly to the factory headquarters to wait for his teammates to arrive.

But who made him lucky?

Jinsheng, who originally planned to rush to the factory headquarters, found a fabric store on the way, where there was everything in blue, the color representing safety.

It happened that Jiang Huai Que was unable to find a suitable shelter when rushing to the surrounding safe area.

Jin Sheng asked Dou Hongshan again and learned that no one except himself had obtained the suitable safety cloth. As the only lucky person in the team, he decided to support his teammates first without much thought.

He has Xiaoyi, so it is easy for him to travel by air or land.

The plan was perfect.

If he hadn't met the Ghost Lion on the road, he would probably have reunited with his teammates by now.

In order to avoid other players at that time, he chose to move forward in the air. Who knew that this aerial action would become a death warrant.

It doesn't feel good to be knocked down from mid-air.

Wang Ying changed her previous style of twin ponytails and long skirt, tied her blonde hair high on the back of her head, and changed into a capable red shorts and short-sleeved shirt... Maybe the clothes were other colors before, but as long as she killed enough people, it would change color.

When their eyes met, Jin Sheng realized that something was wrong. Xiao Yi and he were in sync and turned around immediately.

But it's still too late!

Wang Ying grinned, revealing two small canine teeth, and without even moving her hands, she kicked the stones on the ground with the tip of her shoe...

Her attack was fast, accurate and ruthless, without any unnecessary movements. Jiang Huai's specially made flying dog vest was cut off by the flying stone in the blink of an eye.

By the time Jin Sheng reacted, he was falling rapidly.

Jin Sheng still gets scared when he thinks about it now. If Xiao Yi hadn't bitten his collar, he would have broken at least one leg.

Leaning against the cold and moldy wall, he listened for a while, and finally breathed a sigh of relief when he was sure that there were no footsteps around and Xiaoyi did not smell any nearby scents.

"Fortunately I got rid of it..."

Jin Sheng lowered his head and rubbed the puppy's head buried in his collar with his chin.

He was forced to discard the blue clothes he was carrying at the time. Jin Sheng was worried that he would be contaminated by the rules, so he decided to find a place nearby to hide them.

With the low-altitude flight provided by Xiaoyi, he traveled silently along the way without even leaving a trail of footprints.

"They probably won't come after us, but I'd better tell everyone to be on the safe side."

Jin Sheng opened the panel and quickly told everyone about his encounter with Wang Ying, and asked others to avoid this place and not come.

[Jinsheng: Xiaoyi is a smaller target, I'll ask him to go back to the store to find some clothes for you and then send them over. I'll find a chance to slip away when it gets dark.]

If Wang Ying was still nearby, he and Xiaoyi would be too conspicuous if they walked together. If they separated, the probability of being caught would be much smaller.

“Woo woo.”

Xiaoyi made a low sound, seemingly disagreeing.

"It's okay, I'll hide here. I'm lucky, she can't find me." Jin Sheng stroked Xiaoyi's dog head and comforted him in a low voice.

Xiaoyi is more cautious than Jinsheng.

Although it did not smell the scent of the ghost lion within range, it still did not bark. Instead, it nuzzled into its owner's arms and whimpered softly.

A lucky fool owner is always worrying.

"This place is not too far from the factory. When it gets completely dark, I will sneak out by myself. Guishi is not a very patient person."

Jinsheng’s idea is not wrong.

In previous games, Wang Ying rarely chased her prey, and of course, few people were able to escape after being targeted.

"Everyone, go to the safe area that Brother Xu mentioned."

The city will be polluted, and Jiang Huaique and Dou Hongshan are no exception. Just because he has changed into blue clothes and nothing will happen to him, it doesn't mean that nothing will happen to his teammates.

Xiaoyi shook his head and refused firmly.

“Woof woof…”

It even tried to convince its master that the other two teammates must have their own ways.

Just as the master and the pet were arguing, an impatient voice suddenly came from above Jin Sheng's head.

"Hey, stop chatting with the puppy. Did you call Jiang Huai Que over?"

The unfamiliar female voice made Jin Sheng freeze in place.

He slowly raised his head and his eyes fell on the small palm-sized window on the side of the utility room.

Wang Ying, who had just knocked him out of the air, was now clinging to the railing with both hands, looking over at him eagerly.

The seemingly harmless beautiful girl had obviously been waiting for a long time.

As Wang Ying spoke, the hidden pressure emanated. An inexplicable fear struck his heart. Facing those beast-like eyes, Jin Sheng could almost hear the sound of his heart beating violently in his ears. There was only one thought in his mind.

Run! Run! Don't look back!

But his legs were out of control. Jin Sheng wanted to move, but he found that he was just being stared at by light-colored pupils. His body seemed to be locked, and even his throat was strangled...

He saw Wang Ying easily pry open the steel bars on the small window, kick the window frame to pieces, and land nimbly in front of him.

"Did you call them?"

Wang Ying stretched out her arms, looking relaxed, and after asking the question, she even bent down and touched Xiaoyi's head.

Seeing Jin Sheng still stiff, she suddenly clapped her hands as if she had thought of something.

"Ah... I forgot that using the Lion Eyes will terrify the prey into becoming speechless." A faint light flashed in her eyes.

The next second, Jin Sheng seemed to have suddenly found his own body, breathing in the air in big gulps. He didn't know when he was completely soaked in cold sweat.

Just by looking at each other, he knew that it would be easy for Wang Ying to kill him.

Xiaoyi recovered quickly.

It quickly crawled out of Jinsheng's arms. The palm-sized dog bared its teeth and glared at the girl in front of it.

Jin Sheng didn't care that he had not yet completely recovered from the fear, and stretched out his trembling hands to try to pull Xiaoyi back. He couldn't beat him, and there was no chance of winning in a head-on fight. If he angered the other party, Xiaoyi would probably be the first to die.

Unexpectedly, Wang Ying did not get angry when she saw this. Instead, she exclaimed at the golden retriever puppy.

"The little dog is very imposing!"

"Animals are much more likable than humans."

She did not hide anything, she said whatever she thought, and her thoughts were a little erratic.

"Your useless master is not my target. If you can persuade him to call Jiang Huai Que here, I will let you go."

Wang Ying moved closer and squatted beside Jin Sheng.

Seeing that her master pet had no reaction at all, she seemed a little distressed.

"I didn't use a stone to drive a stone through your master's heart just now because I wanted to use him as bait. If you don't follow the method Xiao Ganmi gave me, then I will use my own methods."

Wang Ying said it easily, but her actions were not gentle.

Jin Sheng only felt a shadow flash before his eyes, and the next moment, Xiaoyi was pinched in the hand of the girl in front of him.

He reached out to grab it, but his hand came up empty.

“Woo-woo!”

Xiaoyi's neck was stuck and he whimpered.

"No! Don't touch it! If you want to kill it, you can kill me first..." Jin Sheng said anxiously.

He completely forgot that the beast would die with him. At this moment, he was just a gentle dog owner who didn't want his puppy to come to any harm.

Wang Ying wanted to move, but after feeling the warmth of the golden retriever in her hand and listening to Jin Sheng's words, she hesitated for a moment and loosened her grip.

“It’s really sad to kill small animals.”

"You are a good master."

After saying that, she threw Xiaoyi into the corner and set her sights on Jinsheng.

The seemingly delicate hands contain infinite power.

Jin Sheng only felt something flash before his eyes, and when he came to his senses, a sharp pain came from his left arm.

“Aaaaaaaa——”

Screams were heard and the smell of blood instantly spread.

Wang Ying just raised her hand and tore off Jin Sheng's left arm.

The torn wound was not as neat as a knife cut. The blood vessels were disorganized and the muscles were blurred. A lot of skin and flesh on the shoulder were also torn off.

Blood splattered everywhere and the severed arm was thrown to the ground. She stood up, and it seemed as if she had eyes on her back. She slapped Xiaoyi, who was rushing towards her, and sent him flying again. The puppy hit the corner of the wall heavily, groaning in pain.

"Now, tell Jiang Huai Que to come here."

"If he comes quick enough, you and your puppy can go."

Wang Ying looked at Jin Sheng's wound and added with a smile: "As a player with a strengthened body, you won't die so easily, so I think you should do it. After all, I don't want to kill your puppy."

It took a long while for Jin Sheng to recover.

"……good."

He turned pale and trembled as he replied.

He opened the game panel as Wang Ying said, endured the severe pain, and quickly sent a new message.

[Jinsheng: I have arrived at the factory, it is safe, you should also go to the nearby safe area as soon as possible.]

How could he let Jiang Huaique die for his own survival?
