Chapter 93

Before he knew it, Paopao had retreated to the other end of the cargo box.

He paused, only to be brought back to his senses when An Rou gave him a quick, fierce glance. He hurriedly raised his feet and silently retreated to the end of the aisle.

The exciting scene was left behind, and Paopao realized that his heart was beating very fast and his cheeks were extremely hot.

He forced himself to forget the inappropriate scene behind the shelf and focused his attention on the iron door in front of him.

This was the door connecting carriages 17 and 18. It had a U-shaped padlock. Paopao took out his penalty knife and pressed lightly on the lock, instantly creating a tiny dent.

It should be an ordinary household item. However, given the sharpness of the punishment knife, it only left a mark, so the material used must be extraordinary.

You have to swing with force.

But if we make too much noise, it will attract the attention of China and Heigs.

Fortunately, from the other end, there were occasional loud cracks of whips. Paopao looked over and saw Anrou raising the whip again and swinging the penalty knife at the same time.

The sound of air bursting perfectly covered the sound of the padlock being cut.

Paopao carefully removed the padlock and pushed the door open.

Carriage 18 was equally poorly lit, but at first glance, it looked much more spacious than Carriage 17. It lacked shelves. Half-man-high wooden crates were neatly stacked inside, with aisles along either side of the walls.

The wooden boxes were nailed shut.

However, the nails were not as good as the padlock. The knife pierced through the gap and cut through the nails under the lid like tofu. With a slight creak, the lid opened, revealing a layer of black rags.

The packaging is pretty good.

Paopao lifted the rag and, with the dim light from the light strip on the roof, saw the big thing inside - well, he wasn't sure what kind of machine it was.

In short, the size is very large. One wooden box is enough to accommodate five or six people, but can only accommodate one machine.

The surface of the machine was covered in a complex web of steel pipes of varying thicknesses, crisscrossed in a complex pattern. Nowhere was the word "power generation" written.

It is very simple to determine whether it is a generator.

The player's inventory is divided into weapon inventory, auxiliary inventory, and daily inventory. Each column and each grid has a storage limit. Given this, items must have a unit concept.

This unit is the "individual".

Just like the metal box that was opened not long ago, it contained dozens of weapons, each of which was a separate individual and required a separate prop bar to store.

The machine in front of us, although it looks complex and huge, is actually precise and complete, and it is just an individual unit.

Paopao put his hand on the machine, and the wooden box was suddenly empty. The big guy appeared in his life props column, and the system marked the name - "Steam generator set (to be repaired)".

Got it!

Paopao suppressed his excitement, carefully lowered the lid of the box, and pricked up his ears to listen to the noise outside.

Scolding, groaning, and whipping sounds came one after another.

China and the others probably didn't notice that I was missing.

Paopao decisively opened the two wooden boxes and put the generator into his pocket.

Just as I was about to open the fourth wooden box, it suddenly became quiet outside.

Paopao paused, focused his attention, and heard a faint knock on the door.

To be able to pass through the entire carriage No. 17 and reach here, you can imagine that the shot must have been taken with great force.

He remembered clearly that after they entered carriage 17, Qina, fearing being disturbed, held the iron door with a long stick. People outside couldn't get in, but now someone insisted on coming in.

Paopao hurriedly lowered the trunk lid and tiptoed towards carriage No. 17. Unexpectedly, someone pushed open the door and rushed into carriage No. 18, bumping into him.

It was An Rou wearing fish skin armor.

Paopao hurriedly supported her: "Boss, what's wrong?"

An Rou stuffed two disguise cards into his hand.

"Remember what those two look like? Quick, turn me into China and you into Hagrid!"

Paopao's mind moved, and his facial features and figure began to blur. After a few seconds, he stopped moving and solidified into Heigs.

Almost the same, 90% similar. Good observation and memory.

An Rou had bought a disguise card from a pawnshop after leaving the teahouse, just for use. According to the item description, this auxiliary card could be used on the player, others, or objects.

An Rou has no energy and cannot be activated, so she can only rely on running.

After using one disguise card, it lost its effect, crumbling into powder and disappearing. Paopao activated another one and tapped the light screen a few times. An Rou's thin figure began to swell.

Bang, his head hit the roof of the car, shattering the glass on the light strip.

An Rou endured the pain and looked down at Paopao, who was a head shorter than her: "..."

Could it be that in his eyes, China is a giantess?

Paopao scratched his head: "Uh, memory deviation..."

Before he could finish his words, there was a loud bang on the door outside.

An Rou: "Did you get the stuff? Let's go!"

Paopao: "How do we get there?"

Originally, An Rou wanted to pretend to be Qina to fool the Gal members outside, but Paopao turned her into this exaggerated female giant... forget it.

"Jump out of the car." An Rou looked at the car wall beside the aisle.

There was a loud sound of footsteps outside, and someone shouted, "Deputy Captain! Hagrid!"

Paopao quickly swung the penalty knife, but failed to break the train wall.

I guess the entire train is made of extremely tough steel.

He had to use all his skills to successfully open a gap in the car wall.

The strong wind brought a burning smell into the carriage.

The train pulled out of Lengbing City, picking up speed. Standing on a 20-meter elevated platform, the barren land below was overgrown with weeds, a desolate sight.

Paopao took a deep breath and said, "Boss, hold on to me."

"Be careful of high voltage electricity." An Rou said.

Paopao used his mobility skills to jump out of the car, stumbling a few steps under the force of inertia before he could stand firm. Without pausing, he tightly grasped An Rou's waist and jumped down from the elevated platform.

He was only at the silver level, and his mobility skills were not enough to allow him to land smoothly after jumping from such a high place.

Just as he was thinking about how to relieve the impact, An Rou suddenly shouted, "Watch your back!"

A flash of silver light followed closely from the overpass.

A sound of breaking air was heard.

Paopao was startled, and without even the slightest chance to see what was attacking him from behind, he instinctively swung his blade backwards. However, his left hand felt cold.

He held An Rou's left hand around her waist, and the Seven Souls Sword was inserted into it.

"this!"

Before An Rou could say anything more, she pushed Paopao away. The goose-feather boots were completely useless in the air and fell directly to the ground.

Paopao felt a chill in his heart.

The two had been through many hardships together and had developed an excellent tacit understanding. The boss, regardless of his own safety, still gave him the Seven Souls Sword, which meant that the person chasing him was very dangerous.

Yali, only Yali!

Paopao instantly unbinds the Penalty Knife and binds the Seven Souls Sword.

Three-stage skills, remove filth!

Even if his level was raised to high silver, his mental strength was still only enough to perform this one skill.

The Seven Souls Sword flew out of his hand, and the silver-gray light and the silver-white light behind it collided head-on!

clang!

The airflow spread out in all directions with the impact point as the center, like an invisible and huge circular blade, leaving deep cuts on the viaduct pillars.

Just at this moment, Paopao had already landed on the ground. His feet were not stable and his body made a deep hole in the ground.

He ignored the light screen notification of his decreasing health points and ran and crawled to An Rou's side.

"Boss, are you okay?"

An Rou's lips and chin were covered in blood and she couldn't speak.

If you fall from a height of 20 meters, even if the ground is muddy, you will die.

Fortunately, he didn't die.

Paopao didn't even care about the Seven Souls Sword, he just carried An Rou on his back and ran. He used the Wind Step with all his strength, and ran for a long distance before turning his head to look at the overpass.

The train didn't slow down, snaking along the dragon-like viaduct towards the desolate distance. Ali, who had attacked from behind moments earlier, was nowhere to be seen.

"No one caught up with me." He breathed a sigh of relief.

“Don’t… stop…”

An Rou spoke with difficulty, then coughed violently and spat out a mouthful of glass shards.

Paopao took a distracted look and was startled.

Suddenly I realized that the boss didn't die from the fall because he had already bitten the life potion in his mouth. The situation was so urgent that he didn't even have time to pull out the cork.

It was because of this decisiveness that she saved her life and his life as well.

This bottle of intermediate life potion was originally held in Heges' mouth. He only had silver. The Seven Souls Sword pierced his brain and he died without even having the chance to crush the potion.

Although the gold-level Qina bit the glass bottle in time, she was stabbed three times by the Seven Souls Sword and was unable to swallow the potion.

Fortunately, An Rou took advantage of the situation and took Heigs's life potion, otherwise it might have been scattered into a ball of data.

The medicine took effect, and the severe pain of broken bones quickly eased. An Rou finally had the strength to look back.

There was indeed no trace of Ali in the lonely sky and desolate earth.

"Let's hide under the bridge first." An Rou said. There was a piece of glass stuck in her throat and it hurt when she spoke.

Paopao changed direction and ran to the bottom of the overpass and put Anrou down. Anrou coughed again and finally spat out the broken glass and bloody phlegm.

A few scratches on the throat were quickly healed by medicine.

Seeing that the boss was fine, Paopao felt relieved but also worried: "Boss, how about we continue running? What if Ali catches up with us?"

An Rou shook her head, calmed her breathing, and said, "He must have gone after the Seven Souls Sword. He won't be able to find us in a short time."

She witnessed the two weapons clashing.

Ali probably didn't expect that Paopao was using a blue weapon. After a brief standoff, he was defeated by the power of the Seven Souls Sword and was knocked in the opposite direction by the flying sword.

However, his weapon was not damaged, which meant that its level was not low.

"Then... are we going to get the Seven Souls Sword back?" Paopao asked hesitantly.

If you look for it, you will probably run into Ali, which is dangerous. If you don't look for it, that's a mid-level blue weapon, and it's a flying sword!

An Rou also felt very sad, as the Seven Souls Sword was her most trusted self-defense weapon.

However, in comparison, life is more important, and she knows it clearly.

"I won't look for it anymore." An Rou shook her head. "Let me take a minute and go back to the farm."

An intermediate health potion could instantly restore 1,000 health points, which was more than enough for An Rou, who only had 100 health points. However, this number was just an illusion. The health potion was not a miracle drug. Just because it accelerated wound healing didn't mean it would instantly disappear.

There is always a healing process.

Paopao's tense nerves finally relaxed. He asked, "Boss, was it because I disappeared for too long that I was exposed?"

"No, China and Heigs didn't even notice you leaving."

An Rou recalled the situation and analyzed, "It should be that Yali wanted to see Qina about something and asked someone to knock on the door, so Qina realized you were not there."

"Then they..."

An Rou smiled slightly: "It's quite eye-catching."

"It's an eyesore?"

"Both of their bodies were naked."

"Uh..." Paopao blushed and looked embarrassed.

An Rou stopped teasing him and continued, "Anyway, Qina didn't respond for a long time, and the people outside felt something was wrong, so they started banging on the door. Before Yali came after me, I didn't even know he was outside the door."

Otherwise, he would have found another way to slip away, and lost the Seven Souls Sword in vain.

An Rou stood up and moved her hands and feet. The broken bones had been reconnected. Apart from a little pain, she could move normally.

"Let's go back to the farm."

Not long after the train left Lengbing City, Paopao opened the map and estimated the distance. It was about 30 kilometers away from the city wall. Using the Gale Step, he estimated that he could return to the city in less than an hour.

Running on the barren land would easily expose their whereabouts, so the two decided to hide under the overpass and go back.

With Paopao's insistence, An Rou was still carried on his back.

Firstly, the camouflage card only disguises the appearance, not the weight, so carrying her on his back wouldn't be a burden. Secondly, An Rou's leg bones had just healed, so she was indeed very tired.

An Rou gave the Yanling Boots to Paopao, which stacked the active and passive movement skills and made him faster.

It was a bit awkward to run around, but the goose-feather boots automatically became the right size on my feet, and the style was neutral, so it didn't look bad at all.

The one-hour journey was shortened to thirty minutes.

Paopao chose a place on the city wall where there were no guards, and with the help of the punishment knife, he successfully climbed back into the city.

His heart finally settled down, and he realized that An Rou had been unusually silent along the way.

Paopao thought she was still heartbroken about the Seven Souls Sword, so he racked his brains and suddenly thought of something that could comfort her.

"Boss, guess how many generators I stole?"

“How many?”

"Three! I don't know the market price of this machine, but it's definitely worth a blue weapon."

An Rou sneered, "Three scrapped machines means three times the money for rebuilding them, and you're still so proud."

"Uh... Anyway, the farm will be connected to electricity soon! Boss, have you noticed that Hengbatong really enjoys life? He even has a refrigerator at home! Then we can grow some watermelons on the farm and keep them frozen..."

An Rou did not respond.

Paopao wanted to scratch his head, but he couldn't free his hands, so he gradually shut up.

Entering the border of Guangyuan Town, An Rou suddenly said, "I'm fine, let me down."

"oh."

Paopao returned the goose feather boots to An Rou, took out his own iron boots from the prop bar and put them on.

As she was putting on her shoes, An Rou suddenly asked, "Don't you think I'm Princess Ban Yue anymore?"

"Ah?" Paopao reacted for a moment, his eyes dodging, "Oh."

It sounds ambiguous, but it is a positive answer.

When, why, where did you find it... An Rou did not ask these meaningless questions.

Paopao might have been blinded by one thing and wishfully believed that she was Princess Banyue, but Anrou knew that there were too many things that didn't make sense.

Paopao is not a fool, he will realize these loopholes sooner or later.

Just like today, facing Ali's pursuit, An Rou could only fight for her life.

Just like that night at the farm, facing the old man from the third place, An Rou hadn't been able to stop him despite all her tricks. If it weren't for the sudden wealth awakening, the old man would have already walked into the ghost town.

Princess Ban Yue, who ranks second on the Destiny List after Chu Mo, cannot be in such a miserable state.

If Paopao hadn't discovered the flaw, he wouldn't have been so panicked when he saw An Rou falling to the ground.

Even if a super player doesn't use any skills, he won't die even if he falls a hundred times just because of his nearly 10,000 health points.

Thinking about it now, the signs had already appeared in many details.

I used to forget to hug the boss tightly before using my movement skills.

In the past, even if Paopao had 10 million gold in his pocket, he would not be afraid of being robbed when walking on the street with his boss;

When Paopao sees his boss climbing the ladder slowly, he won’t rush to jump up and help her...

Paopao used to believe that his boss could do anything.

So when did the change begin?

Is there a ghoul tide on the farm?

An Rou guessed correctly.

At this moment, the scene once again emerged in Paopao's mind: the boss was bleeding from all seven orifices, staggering out of the bungalow into the yard, looking up at the sudden wealth in the night sky, tears streaming down his face.

He suddenly realized that his boss was actually very vulnerable.

So fragile that he has to rely on ghouls.

So fragile that I dare not trust any "person", not even him.

In the silence between them, An Rou said softly: "Paopao, there are some things..."

"What's wrong with Princess Ban Yue? Can she compete with the boss?"

Paopao interrupted Anrou, turned around and smiled playfully.

"Can Princess Ban Yue control ghouls? Can she make me a multi-millionaire? Can she build a mobile farm? Can she have a warehouse full of gadgets? Can she get three generators?

"I dare say she definitely can't. Boss, you are much better than her. Not only that, you are better than those guild leaders, even better than Chu Mo!"

An Rou was startled when she saw him pat his butt and stand up, tapping the ground with his iron boots twice.

"Let's go, boss. You've been out for a long time. I want to get rich quick!"

Without caring about An Rou, he ran forward using the Gale Step.

An Rou lowered her eyelashes.

If I hadn't seen the tears in Paopao's eyes, I would have almost believed his lies.

But...this employee - no - partner, was not the wrong choice.

She smiled silently.

I've been unlucky all my life, but I didn't expect to die in the game and have better luck for once.

-

As soon as she turned into the familiar valley, An Rou saw An Younian.

He seemed angry, his fat face flushed red, and he pointed at the ground and said something. He walked out as he spoke, but as soon as his feet stepped out of the farm gate, he fell back into the gate uncontrollably.

An Rou burst into laughter and ran over faster.

"dad!"

An Younian paused, raised his head, and hurried over to greet him: "Rou Rou, you're finally back. What took you so long? You're unfamiliar with the place... If it hadn't insisted on stopping me, I would have gone to find you!"

He glared at the ground again angrily.

On the ground, Bao Fu grunted, and his pupils slowly moved in his eye sockets as big as basins.

An Rou had instructed that if they spotted someone approaching, they should eat him. If anyone on the farm tried to sneak away, they should be stopped.

"I asked Baobao to watch over you, so don't be angry." An Rou said, frowning. "Dad, didn't I ask you to wait for me at the farm? And you didn't listen."

"...Really?" An Younian slapped his forehead. "Look at my memory. I forgot."

He wouldn't lie. If he said he forgot, he really did.

Only then did An Younian realize that An Rou was only wearing a strange-looking vest, so he quickly took off his outer coat and put it on her.

"Didn't you wear a windbreaker when you went out this morning? How come it's gone? Be careful not to catch a cold."

"Dad forgot again. I won't get sick."

An Rou said this, but still put on her coat obediently.

Paopao then interrupted, "Uncle An, don't worry. I will protect the boss whenever we go out."

"Okay, okay," An Younian said, pointing to the terrified face on the ground. "If this big guy could follow, I'd feel more at ease."

After counting all the NPCs on the farm, he was the first to overcome his fear of ghouls. He trusted his daughter, and she told him not to be afraid. After two days, he really was no longer afraid.

Unfortunately, no matter how hard I tried, I couldn't convince others.

An Younian suddenly remembered something: "Oh, Rourou, there's a guy looking for you, saying he's your friend."

An Rou was buttoning her clothes and froze when she heard this: "Friend? Someone's looking for me?"

Paopao was also stunned.

"Yeah, I think he's also a destined one." An Younian showed a lingering fear. "Thanks to him, I found a person buried in the hotel cellar when I arrived. If it were half a day later, that guy named Ah Hu would have died."

Ah Hu?

An Rou frowned. Ah Hu, the big, stupid guy from Yong'an Hotel? Was he also taken to the farm?

But Ah Hu’s matter can be put off until later.

An Rou tried not to look serious: "Dad, where is the person you were talking about now?"

"Here." A clear voice sounded in my ears.

An Rou was startled and subconsciously took a step forward to protect An Younian behind her. Paopao also rushed over and protected An Rou behind him.

Paopao frowned and stared at the other person: "Who are you?"

The man was extremely handsome, with narrow eyebrows and eyes, even a bit of a seductive look. He was wearing a snow-white robe full of ancient charm, and long hair as black as satin...

The style of painting is incompatible with this doomsday game.

The other person smiled and looked over Paopao's shoulder at Anrou without answering.

Paopao turned his head and asked: "Boss, do you know him?"

Could it be a guild player from Zhongsu Town? Or perhaps a guest who had visited the hotel before?

However, An Rou slowly shook her head with a very cold look in her eyes.

She lowered her head and said, "Baobao, send Dad back to the villa first."

An Younian also noticed that the atmosphere was unusual. He was about to refuse when he heard this, but Bao Fu had already lifted him up and left like lightning.

Only then did An Rou's hostility appear clearly on her face.

She was sure she had never seen this person, let alone knew him. The other party did not show any malice, but An Rou felt dangerous.

——Because there is no light screen above this man’s head!

Whether it is a player or an NPC, the long light screen with the ID written on it is visible to her.

Since entering the game, An Rou has never encountered any exceptions.

The man seemed to understand An Rou's doubts. He snapped his fingers and said with a smile, "Will this make you let down your guard?"

Before he finished speaking, a light screen unfolded above his head like a scroll, with only two words written on it: [Jie Xin].

An Rou's eyelashes trembled.

No guild emblem, no rank, just a name...

Not only could she not let her guard down, but she was actually setting off a level 10 alarm in her mind!

The most important thing is that the other party knows that she can see through the light screen!

[Violent!]

An Rou shouted in her consciousness, and at the same time grabbed Paopao's collar, pulling him back quickly in her goose-feather boots.

A low roar sounded from deep within the earth, the dust on the ground trembled, and a huge black hole appeared under the man's feet.

The sudden wealth is like a whale going out to sea, swallowing the other party in one gulp!

The giant whale goes into the sea, and the sudden wealth falls back to the earth.

"Now, can you let down your guard?"

Jie Xin's voice, as sweet as a bell or jade, rang out slowly.

At the same time, a hoarse and pale voice came into An Rou's ears.

"Don't waste your energy. You can't kill him."

A black line shot straight down from the sky and stopped behind An Rou.

Paopao screamed, "Ink removal!"
