Chapter 45 Fan Letao
At 1 PM, after grabbing a quick bite, Jiang Baiyue handed the equipment to Gu Zilin and left for the underground city.
Regarding protective shields, her idea is that she can only save them up slowly. Although she has been trying to buy coupons and currently has an 85% off coupon, it is not enough. Even after the discount, she still cannot afford it.
Knowing that Jiang Baiyue was leaving the base, the mercenaries quickly came out of the mercenary bar to follow her.
As soon as the space station door opened, a group of people suddenly ran out of an alley, followed by a swarm of small bats.
The people at the back of the group turned around and raised their hands just as the little bat was about to catch up with them.
A gust of wind gathered around, causing the old iron poles, tattered clothes, and withered potted plants on the abandoned houses to rattle and knock, and the little bats were blown backward.
Jiang Baiyue glanced at it in surprise. Was this a wind-type ability? Then she used teleportation to quickly move away.
I didn't come to the dungeon this morning, and most of the resource points near Space Station 2 have already been looted.
Jiang Baiyue found the scattered resource points too dispersed, so she explored further into the city.
Beep beep—!
She casually opened the door of a wrecked car on the street, but to her surprise, the car suddenly "came to life" with a loud noise and even started honking its horn.
The sound carried far, immediately startling the surrounding zombies and monsters, who seemed to be roaring to the sky. Their roars then drew even more monsters to roar in response.
Jiang Baiyue packed her things and turned to run.
The mercenaries shot and killed several zombies that had rushed to the roadside. Jiang Baiyue saw that the other zombies were still far away, so she ran over and picked up the coins on the ground.
She wouldn't have risked picking up coins dropped by zombies during a crisis before, but not now. When you're poor, you have to be as frugal as possible and not look down on any little bit of money.
She took out a double-barreled crossbow, fired with one hand, and picked up coins with the other.
Hehe—!
A zombie wearing a rusty iron helmet hid behind other zombies, relying on its companions to absorb damage as it ran up to her.
-1-1-1……
Such touching damage values, the health bar barely budges.
【Helmeted Zombie (Lv1: 145/150)】
The helmeted zombie's roar grew more agitated, and it raised its arm to grab Jiang Baiyue.
Mercenary #1 abandoned his attempt to finish off the enemy, rushed to Jiang Baiyue's side, kicked aside the helmeted zombie, and raised his hand to fire.
Jiang Baiyue stopped it and used her crossbow to shoot and break through its defenses. It took two shots and four arrows to break its helmet.
A helmet is equivalent to adding more than 64 points of health to this zombie.
Two pieces of scrap metal, four coins, and one piece of rotten bone were found on the ground.
With the new materials in hand, Jiang Baiyue packed them away and beckoned the two mercenaries to leave.
Jiang Baiyue had just run two streets, opened a small cardboard box and got a lighter when she heard a cry for help.
The voice was on the verge of collapse, revealing a deep despair.
"Help me! Ahhhhh! Get away from me! Get away from me!"
A ragged and disheveled person fell directly from the second floor across the street, tumbled twice on the tarpaulin, and landed on the ground.
"ah--!"
The scattered zombies on the street, who were originally running towards Jiang Baiyue, turned around and ran towards the person who jumped from the building after hearing the pitiful screams.
Jumping from the second floor would cripple her, and fearing being called for help, Jiang Baiyue couldn't bear the torment of her conscience, so she turned and ran into the nearby street.
"Help!"
After running a few steps, Jiang Baiyue heard the shouts and turned around, only to find that the person who jumped off the building was chasing after her.
Zombies, all wearing helmets, kept running out of the building behind this person.
Is it impure motive or is there simply no way to escape?!
Jiang Baiyue wasn't really lacking in source energy anymore. She teleported directly into a store, opened the window, and left in a different direction.
The person behind, seeing the person in front suddenly disappear, cursed loudly and stopped running immediately.
The surrounding zombies suddenly seemed to lose their purpose and began to wander aimlessly.
Jiang Baiyue lay on the roof, inwardly congratulating herself on the good thing about being cautious; this was a player with the ability to block zombies.
She acted so convincingly that if she hadn't been tricked once before and hadn't hardened her heart, she would definitely have been fooled.
She had just finished her remark when, a group of people ran out from a street near the bus stop, and the conman began his performance again.
"Ah! Help!"
In the ensuing chaos, a group of young people who looked like high school students didn't even have time to react before changing their escape route and running towards the person who had called for help.
She didn't think to warn the group about the scammers, since they were all strangers, and you have to provide evidence to prove someone is a bad person.
Jiang Baiyue withdrew her gaze and silently searched the resource points on the roof. There was a bar next door, so she went in and searched it, getting 6 bottles of alcohol.
As she left the bar, she saw the fruit shop across the street displaying gibberish like a TV screen with distorted graphics, the walls twisting and turning into a brand new shop in the blink of an eye!
? ?
Jiang Baiyue gripped the double-arrow crossbow tightly, and the mercenaries slowly approached from behind. The mercenaries obeyed her command and pushed open the door.
"Ugh, what bad luck, why did we have to choose such a lousy place..."
"Ah, welcome."
The woman's two long braids swayed as she turned around. She paused for a moment, her gaze precisely fixed on Jiang Baiyue, whose head was half-exposed behind her. She then greeted Jiang Baiyue with a natural expression.
Fan Letao never expected that customers would come to this remote area of the underground city so quickly. Waaah, at least there's food to eat! I don't have to go hungry anymore!
"Hello, sir, would you like to buy anything?"
Fan Letao then remembered that his store only had one type of product at the moment, so he quickly picked up the product description from the display case.
"This is our store's top pick—the adorable duck bag! Ta-da! Isn't it cute? It's perfect for...a cool girl like you."
Fan Letao originally wanted to compliment someone on their cuteness, but the person in front of him had a neat short haircut, a determined look, and although his face looked quite ordinary at first glance, it was very pleasing to the eye.
Since "customer" and "cute" are completely unrelated, she had to quickly change the word.
Jiang Baiyue put away her weapon and placed her hands on the counter.
"Hello boss, I am Jiang Baiyue."
After she finished speaking, she took the crossbody bag handed to her by the boss, and a message popped up in front of her eyes.
【Adorable duck bag: Can carry supplies.】
"Five-word description..." Jiang Baiyue asked the boss.
Fan Letao introduced himself first: "My name is Fan Letao, I'm the owner of a boutique, and the quality of my products is absolutely top-notch. I never lie..."
Fan Letao glanced guiltily to the side; she had no idea what the cute duck-shaped buns were for. The system simply told her she had to sell them, or she'd go hungry.
"As for the bags, they're just for carrying supplies... and they're pretty too. Look at this cute duck head, so adorable."
Jiang Baiyue: "...How much does it cost?"
Fan Letao's eyes lit up. "I want to buy it! I want to buy it!"
"Two energy crystals!"
Jiang Baiyue put down her things, turned around and left. She was going to steal energy crystals; she needed at least one energy crystal for each of her arrow towers.
"Hey, don't go! We can still discuss it!"
"Yes, coins are fine too!"
Jiang Baiyue stopped and turned around to ask, "How many coins?"
"...3000 coins!"
