Current coordinates: Nightingale Town, a small border town in Theodore Country.
Although Nightingale Town is located in a remote area, it borders a neighboring country. Merchants often come and go to trade, and there are also many bounty hunters who have accepted bounty missions. Therefore, it was once a relatively prosperous town.
But now, it has almost become a ruin.
In broad daylight, a rat crawled out from a garbage dump, its whiskers still stained with blood. It climbed freely onto the roof of a tavern and was squeaking and enjoying the sunshine when it was startled by a sudden sound of footsteps. The rat shook its whiskers, flicked its tail, and quickly disappeared into the daylight.
The footsteps became clearer and clearer, and a young girl wearing brown short boots appeared in the dilapidated town of Nightingale. She had short dark green hair, a brown beret on her head, a loose brown sleeveless mid-length linen coat on her body, brown fingerless gloves on her hands, brown wrist guards, brown elbow pads, brown knee pads... The only bright color in her clothes was the red belt that tied the coat tightly.
The girl raised her head and glanced with her distinct black and white eyes at the roof where the mouse had just been.
Although the surrounding scenery had not changed at all, the light and shadow in her eyes were flashing at high speed. Everything that was dilapidated and decadent in front of her was rebuilt in an instant, returning to its former prosperous state.
"Nightingale Town once had ten pubs and eighteen inns. Most of the locals made a living by guiding outsiders, acting as tour guides, and trading goods."
The world in Duoduo's eyes at this time was built by the illusion of the nameless baby spirit and the ruins of Nightingale Town. According to the memory of the nameless baby spirit, she quickly found the house of the family of five, and based on the daily movements of the two sisters' father, she found Wang Ping's residence.
Wang Ping's residence is in the most remote corner of Nightingale Town. Surprisingly, her house was not destroyed. Compared with other houses in the town that have either turned into ruins or been crushed by giant beasts, Wang Ping's residence is small but very intact.
It was a house near a well, with only one room and a living room. The narrow bedroom window was open, revealing a wooden bed and a small table by the window. Duoduo moved her nose, and her tenth-level transcendental sense of smell allowed her to detect a hint of residual blood.
She climbed in through the window and found a blood-stained white coat at the foot of the bed. The remaining blood on it was only slightly coagulated, and it was obvious that the white coat had not been abandoned for long.
Relying on this little bit of blood, Duoduo activated his foresight talent.
Her eyes blurred slightly, and countless scenes flashed before her eyes. After a moment, those scenes disappeared. She threw down her white coat and activated her giant strength skill. The girl lifted the wooden bed with one hand, and with the other hand, she lifted the wooden board under the bed and found a suitcase hidden underneath. It was made of alloy and equipped with a combination lock. It was obviously a modern technology from Earth.
From then on, Wang Ping became Chen Wangping's starting point for empirical research.
She took out the suitcase, lowered the wooden bed to the ground, and the room returned to its original state. Then she closed the window and walked towards the southeast, carrying the suitcase that was half her height in one hand.
After leaving Nightingale Town, walk southeast, through the woods, and onto the main road to reach the nearest city.
At this time, on the dirt road that ran through the woods, a little girl with a lame leg was sitting on a cart, being pushed forward by a woman who looked to be about thirty years old.
The woman's face looked haggard, but her eyes were determined and her steps were quick.
"Aunt Chen, can we really get to the city?"
"Yes, I can," said the woman.
She is Chen Wangping, who came to this world inexplicably and survived the disaster of monster invasion. Now, the only one who depends on her is a six-year-old indigenous girl named Duoma.
Not long ago, they left Nightingale Town and planned to follow the footsteps of their predecessors to seek refuge in the nearest city. However, the corpses they saw along the way made Chen Wangping's heart sink to the bottom. But Nightingale Town was not their retreat, so they could only keep moving forward.
They walked until almost evening when a group of people suddenly emerged from the bushes and blocked their way.
There were more than a dozen strong men, all carrying weapons in their hands. The man in the middle even had a rifle in his hand. Chen Wangping knew from their behavior and temperament that they were definitely ruthless bandits who would kill without blinking an eye.
The corpses along the way were not caused by monsters. Chen Wangping had been on guard for a long time. When he saw this situation, he immediately turned the cart flexibly and pushed it behind him.
The little girl on the cart had no background, but she cleverly stood the cart up to block her own small body, trying not to cause trouble to Chen Wangping.
"Haha, look, it's a beautiful lady."
Most of the common people in the Kingdom of Theodore have rough and dark skin. Chen Wangping's appearance is considered pretty among Chinese people, but in this environment she is a fair beauty, especially her black hair, which is quite rare here.
Those people chattered a lot again. Although Chen Wangping had tried hard to integrate into Nightingale Town during the past half month since she traveled through time and space, and had also learned a lot of common language, the dialect used by these bandits was somewhat different from the common language. Chen Wangping understood some of it with difficulty, and heard that they probably wanted them to surrender themselves to them for their play.
These beasts, Thomas is only six years old!
The enemy was outnumbered and powerful, so Chen Wangping could only do her best to deal with them. She knew these desperate criminals had many lives on their hands, so she could only act afraid to let them down. "My mother and I are from Nightingale Town. Our entire family was killed by monsters, so we had no choice but to seek refuge with relatives in the city. I beg you to spare us. I will definitely sing praises to the gods for your mercy."
Chen Wangping's weak words obviously pleased the robbers. The leader holding the musket put the gun into his belt and stretched out a rough hand towards Chen Wangping's face. Chen Wangping pretended to tremble, lowered her head slightly, and only paid attention to his movements with her peripheral vision. The moment he approached, she quickly took out the knife hidden in her sleeve and stabbed the man in the abdomen.
However, the next moment, her hand was pinched. In front of Chen Wangping's wide-open eyes, the bandit leader pinched her hand holding the scalpel with one hand and her neck with the other hand.
The thin and shiny blade of the scalpel reflected the bandit leader's hideous and grinning face.
The bandit leader: "Hahaha, you must be a transcendent who has just awakened! You can't even control your power, and the transcendental factors in your body are oozing out. If it weren't for these lively little guys, I would have been fooled by you."
Chen Wangping struggled, but the bandit leader was so powerful that she could not resist him at all. Seeing that Aunt Chen was controlled, the little girl Duoma jumped over on one foot and wanted to bite him. She had only taken two steps when she was grabbed from behind by a force.
Thomas screamed in fear, and the bandit leader suddenly raised his head, as if facing a great enemy. "Who are you?"
In front of them, a girl carrying a suitcase suddenly appeared.
The girl was only 1.5 meters tall, with a small head and face, and an extremely delicate appearance. She was Duoduo from Nightingale Town.
Duoduo chuckled, "Look, it's another scene of relying on strength to bully the weak."
Compared to Chen Wangping who had just awakened, Duoduo's extraordinary genes were very cleanly restrained, but the girl's bold actions and eyes made the bandit leader dare not underestimate her. Seeing that the girl wanted to save people, the bandit leader twisted Chen Wangping's body and held her in front of him, wanting to use her as a hostage. Only then did Chen Wangping see the person behind her. She didn't know Duoduo at all, but after seeing her modern dress and suitcase, Chen Wangping's pupils shrank slightly.
Duoduo looked at the bandit leader's gathered minions, then at the detained Chen Wangping. She blinked and shook the suitcase in her hand. "This woman is from my hometown. How about I exchange this for you?"
The bandit leader had long noticed her suitcase. While modern craftsmanship might not rival the luxury goods of the world's upper class, it was definitely a valuable item in the eyes of this group of bandits. The bandit leader had a keen eye and realized that even if there was nothing inside, the suitcase alone would fetch a considerable sum. So, he quickly agreed.
Of course, he was not a trustworthy businessman. He wanted to get the box and take advantage of the girl's off guard to pull out his rifle, take his men with him, and capture the girl who was suspected to be a supernatural person and the woman together for enjoyment.
No matter where you are, beautiful women are valuable commodities that can be sold for a sum of money after use.
But what the bandit leader never expected was that the box that seemed so light in the little girl's hand was so heavy in his hand. He misjudged the weight of the box and his arm sank suddenly. Then a huge force hit him and his other hand, which was trying to draw out the musket, was kicked off. The pain of the broken bones made him scream and his left hand, which was holding the box, couldn't help but loosen.
At the same time as Duoduo kicked out, he reached out to catch the falling box. At this time, the bandit leader took several steps back and tried to pull out the musket with his left hand. His extraordinary skill was that he never missed a shot. As long as he took out the musket, this bastard would never be able to escape. Ordinary extraordinary people could not resist the power of the musket at all.
But how could Duoduo let him succeed? She rushed over to him, wheeled the suitcase weighing dozens of kilograms, and slammed it down on him. She used the same trick to deal with the bandits surrounding her, swinging the suitcase like a hammer. Even the bandit leader, a transcendent, couldn't withstand a few blows from her, let alone these ordinary people. Soon, they were lying on the ground.
Chen Wangping and Duoma were stunned.
The bandit leader was indeed an extraordinary person. The other minions were motionless in various postures, but the bandit leader was still cursing with a bloody head. Seeing this, Duoduo leaped forward with his suitcase, and then landed on the bandit leader with a thud, smashing him so hard that his two ends were raised up like a dying fish.
The bandit leader vomited a mouthful of blood and became completely motionless.
Not long after, Chen Wangping and Duo Ma cautiously followed Duo Duo out of the woods. "Are all those people dead?"
Duoduo replied, "No. But a night of freezing in the woods is enough."
Duo Ma looked at them blankly, but Chen Wangping's face was filled with surprise. Because she had just spoken Mandarin, this proved that her judgment was correct. Duo Duo was indeed from the same place as her! After realizing this, she felt a little relieved. After all, meeting a fellow countryman in this strange world, and a fellow countryman who was so powerful and willing to help her, made her feel warm and lucky.
In order to quickly get acquainted, she tried hard to find a topic to talk about, saying, "Your suitcase looks like the one I brought with me when I came here. We are truly destined to be together."
Hearing this, Duoduo stopped and looked at her, "It's not like that, this is your suitcase."
Chen Wangping: ...
So the question is, why is the suitcase that I secretly buried in Li's hand?
Before she could figure out the problem, Duoduo said, "We're almost in the city. It's time for you to make a choice."
Chen Wangping looked at her blankly.
Duoduo: "Do you want to stay here, or follow me back to Earth?"
When Chen Wangping heard those two words, his eyes became hot and he looked at her in disbelief.
