Chapter 4 I Can Lead the Way



◎How can it be so fast? ! Thunder Man! ◎

"The bubbles are spreading from the hexagonal body in the sky," Shangguan Yu explained.

"Has the game started?" Ling Xi asked, trying hard to squeeze his head out from the window frame.

Rong Xiao was originally leaning against the wall without interest, but the moment he heard about the game, the progress bar that had disappeared for a while reappeared.

"Games? Do you want to play games?" Rong Xiao, who looked like he was injected with chicken blood, cheered happily in a completely different way.

Shangguan glanced at her speechlessly, stroked his bracelet with his fingers, turned to Long Qingyu and asked, "Did you find the bullet?"

"No, the last bullet is also..." Ling Xi subconsciously wanted to look at Rong Xiao, but suddenly thought of something and immediately turned her gaze to the corner.

"You can input the necessary supplies now," Shangguan said, not asking about the whereabouts of the last bullet. He was checking the information on the screen. "Don't rush to input anything yet. We can form a team here. It should help to share the difficulty of the task."

After Shangguan read the team formation instructions carefully, he asked Long Qingyu to initiate the team formation application as the team leader.

The system pops up a prompt. After the team is successfully formed, members can leave the team at will, but only the team leader can enter the "needed goods", and as long as one person in the team completes the task, the entire team will pass.

Soon, the applications were approved one after another, and Lingxi suddenly realized... there was another person in the room.

Rong Xiao stood there, staring blankly at those who had successfully formed a team, and before she realized it, she was left alone.

"What should we do with Rong Xiao? She's all alone..." Ling Xi walked up to her and rubbed Rong Xiao's head, looking worriedly at that innocent smiling face that was completely unaware of her situation. "This bubble looks so strange, it might be dangerous. What if she..."

Long Qingyu knew what she was thinking and interrupted her in a deep voice: "But what we are going to do is more dangerous. There is no need to involve her."

"It seems...that's right." Ling Xi nodded, hooked Rong Xiao's shoulder, and led him to sit on the chair next to him.

Rong Xiao sat down and stretched out her legs to relax. Ling Xi held her hand and looked into her eyes seriously as he explained their plan and this series of strange situations.

Lingxi thought she had explained it clearly, but Rongxiao was different from most people. Lingxi waited patiently for her to digest it slowly.

"Do you want to play games by yourselves?" Rong Xiao asked curiously.

That won't work.

If something happens to you, won’t the supplies be picked up by others?

Rong Xiao stared at Ling Xi, unconsciously thinking of the taste of the biscuits he had just eaten, his eyes filled with strong reluctance.

Ling Xi, who didn't know the truth, thought Rong Xiao was reluctant to leave her. Looking at those eager eyes, she felt depressed.

Although he seemed calm on the surface, Rong Xiao's mind was busy as he thought of Tian Yichuang's fire ability.

Nothing can happen to my mobile stove!

Tian Yichuang, who was smoking near the ventilation window, suddenly felt a chill. He looked in the direction of the obvious feeling and found that Rong Xiao was staring at him with a faint smile on his lips. He didn't know what he was thinking.

She looks like an angel, but when her eyes stare at people, they are still scary.

"Shall we act now?" Shangguan had long seen through Lingxi's hesitation and ruthlessly extinguished her budding idea. "We're not doing charity. The most important thing now is to complete the mission and confirm whether we can really get the bullets."

"I know!!" Ling Xi yelled back with a red face.

Her attitude changed 180 degrees. Her attitude towards Rong Xiao was completely different from her attitude towards Shangguan, as fast as changing a mask.

"Wait here for us. We're going to complete a very difficult mission. It's very dangerous," Ling Xi said with a solemn and tragic look, as if she was about to embark on a bloody and ruthless battlefield. "Stay here and we'll come back to find you after we complete the mission. Don't run around."

"Oh!" The crisp answer sounded quite reliable. Ling Xi wiped the sweat off her forehead and made an OK sign to Shangguan.

Tian Yichuan sat on a chair, put his legs on the table, and sighed loudly: "She looks so pitiful. Does she also need to input the required items to complete the task? Will she die if she doesn't complete it?"

The room suddenly became quiet, as if everyone had imagined a scene of Rong Xiao's death, and the atmosphere was tacitly suppressed with grief.

No one wants to see such a cute little thing turn into a corpse, decaying into bones alone and pitifully in an unknown corner.

"So, we must win, and then come back to help her complete a simple task!" Long Qingyu spoke in a clear and loud voice. He obviously just wanted to cheer himself up, but inexplicably he made a swearing sound.

Ling Xi also became excited. She glanced at Rong Xiao, who had a blank look on his face, and said in a loud voice, "I will definitely come back!"

"Not bad, not as desperate as before." Tian Yichuan smiled and took something out of his bag and threw it to Rong Xiao. "Here, this is for you. It's a cute pendant I saw in the store before. It has a 'lucky' on it. I wish you good luck."

Shangguan Yu, who has a completely different style, feels like a superfluous person.

Everyone finished their rest and prepared to set off to the place mentioned on the light screen.

Apart from the address, the task given by the light curtain only has a few keywords, which is not very clear. You have to go there to find out what the situation is.

【Family of three, yellow door, metal box】

Apart from an address, the only remaining ones are these three keywords.

This is a very common label. If you go to any community, you can probably find several of them.

Moreover, the address is a residential area, which is usually where there are the most zombies, so it is quite dangerous.

Before setting off, Long Qingyu opened the "needed goods" input interface of the light curtain.

"Brother Long, when you input the information, please be sure to write down the caliber of the bullet and the model of the gun that it is suitable for. Don't enter too many numbers, as too many numbers will increase the difficulty of the game. This is our first time entering the game, and we are not clear about the specific situation." Shangguan Yu's words made everyone suddenly realize, do they need to be so cautious?

Tian Yichuan's hot palms suddenly rested on Shangguan's shoulders: "Sometimes I really doubt how old you are. How can you be so cautious and mature? You are completely different from your brother..."

I don’t know whether it was a compliment or sarcasm, but this statement simply and accurately captured Shangguan’s style.

Be cautious, careful, mature, and above all, calm and composed.

He lacks the childishness and innocence that a teenager should have. Sometimes, his calculations would make his teammates feel cold.

I can't help but think that fortunately he and I are not enemies, but teammates fighting side by side.

"Okay, okay, let's go, hurry up." After Long Qingyu entered the "needed supplies", he gave an order, pulled out the fire axe on his back and led the way out.

Following him was Shangguan. He really didn't want to stay here for another second, so he quickened his pace, which was unusual for him.

Ling Xi walked last, and she reminded Rong Xiao in the room with a worried look on her face: "When we leave, lock the door. Don't open it when others knock. When we come back... we will bring you something delicious."

"Okay!" Rong Xiao nodded vigorously, his beautiful eyes were clean without a trace of impurities, and whoever he glared at would admit defeat.

Ling Xi didn't dare to look again, for fear that she would become shaken again. She gritted her teeth, closed her eyes, turned around and left, and by the way, dragged away Tian Yichuang who was saying goodbye to Rong Xiao.

The group came to the street downstairs. No one spoke. The overly quiet atmosphere had a kind of oppressive feeling that was almost a consensus.

Leaving a girl like Rong Xiao behind, especially in such a strange situation, no one can predict what will happen when they come back.

Ling Xi couldn't help but look up again, and saw Rong Xiao standing at the window, smiling and waving at them. Her eyes suddenly turned red.

"Sister Xi..." Tian Yichuang was so scared that he almost bit his tongue.

In the past, no matter what situation Ling Xi encountered, her eyes would never turn red. But just now, in the silhouette illuminated by the moonlight, her eyes were red and tears were stirring in them.

Rubbing her face vigorously, Ling Xi forced a smile: "I'm fine, I just think she... looks like my sister."

Lingxi was the third one to join the team. When Long Qingyu and Tian Yichuang picked her up, they roughly knew what kind of situation she had encountered, and didn't ask much else.

Her sister is most likely gone.

"Let's go. Let's finish the mission early so we can come back to find her." Long Qingyu knew that Lingxi was sad, and he rarely saw Lingxi like this.

The end of the world devours too much humanity and emotions, and the memories left behind are like scars made by a chisel, firmly engraved in the heart.

Even if the breeze blows the grass, the fragile swaying and powerless feeling can easily bring back sad memories.

"Let's go, let's hurry up." Wiping away her tears, Ling Xi took out two kitchen knives from her bag, took big strides with a fierce look, blinked her red eyes, and moved her gaze to the back of Shangguan.

"What are you looking at?" Her eyes made Shangguan Yu feel uncomfortable.

Late in the night, he was staring behind him with a shocked and dazed expression, which didn't look like good news.

He frowned, a rare occurrence, stepped aside, held his weapon across his face, and turned around...

They were not zombies, nor were they mutated animals, and there was no one trying to attack them - Rong Xiao was standing upright in front of them, with a faint smile on the corners of his mouth, and an indescribable excitement flashing in his eyes.

"Why did you come down here???" Ling Xi glanced upstairs in disbelief. There was no one at the window. How could this little girl come down from upstairs in such a short time? ?

How can it be so fast?! Thunder Man!

"You're going in the wrong direction," Rong Xiao pointed behind him, "You need to go this way."

All: "..."

They were not familiar with this city. They first met in the neighboring Lingtai City, and later went all the way to Zhizhou City. They encountered trouble not long after they arrived.

"I can lead the way!" With an angelic smile and the holy white moonlight shining above his head, Rong Xiao's words seemed like a temptation, making them waver unconsciously.

"But..." Ling Xi hesitated, and even her refusal was not as straightforward as before.

Long Qingyu seemed unmoved, but his tone hinted at a subtle compromise: "We are indeed unfamiliar with the terrain. If we were to search for a location for several hours, I wonder if this would delay the completion of the mission."

"So, take her with you for the time being." Shangguan Yu concluded bluntly.

The author has something to say:

Recommended by my friend: "Weird Invasion" by Cong0

When Li Mi woke up and pushed the door open, he stepped into a bizarre and strange world.

She felt like something was wrong with her.

In her mind, fragments of another person's memories appeared, while her own memories were so unfamiliar as if she had never experienced them before.

Later I found out that she was not "her" at all.

Her body was replaced by someone.

But the other party had no idea that in this weak body there was actually an unfathomable and powerful energy——

A weak and ugly sparrow can transform into a brilliant phoenix.

At first, she thought that everything was caused by the other party's selfish desires.

It was not until later that they realized that they were just a small and insignificant link in a huge conspiracy.

But all the manipulators behind the scenes did not expect that this insignificant little link would change the ending of the whole story.
