Cannon Fodder Counterattack System (Twenty)

"Even so, we can't just open a hole and go out now, right?"

After a while, Shang Li said slowly.

"Xiao Jiang can't possibly block out all the timelines."

A tiny pixel flashlight then appeared in his cube hand.

Shang Li flew forward a few meters, illuminating the endless darkness. "Although the supernatural power hasn't given any hints yet, I intuitively think it should be in this area."

"I agree. When the time comes, let Lu Yao give you the title of prophet." Cui Lan crossed his arms.

"Hmph, the original thing."

Shang Li gladly accepted the proposal.

After their banter, the two of them wandered around like headless flies for a long time.

The ghost, who had long since turned into an adult due to boredom, still didn't receive any signal.

"How about I find an item in the system store that can improve our luck?"

He raised his fingertips and summoned a translucent pop-up window, "Let me take a look... Hmm, it seems that none of them can be used. It's a pity that I don't have the right to purchase them."

"Speaking of luck..."

Cui Lan suddenly stopped and tapped his temple in annoyance. "I almost forgot that I have another prop on me, which happens to be what you want."

The ghost turned around quickly, narrowed his red eyes and gave a reproachful look as if to ask "Why didn't you say so earlier?"

"I don't have hyperamnesia, so it's not normal for me to forget things."

Cui Lan raised his eyelids and looked back calmly, "What?"

"I have no objection."

The ghost raised his hands.

He watched Cui Lan take off her scarf, take out the red heart-shaped jewel necklace that had always been tucked into her shirt, and hold it in her hand.

“It’s this?”

Shang Li was a little surprised.

I thought my wife would take out something I had never seen before, but I didn't expect it to be this little gadget that I could wear close to my body.

He placed the tip of his index finger on his chin and moved closer with curiosity.

This red heart-shaped gemstone necklace was a gift given by Shang Li when he was in college.

On an extremely ordinary day that year, he passed by a jewelry store on his way back to his apartment and was attracted by the billboard outside.

When the waiters inside saw him standing motionless in front of the door in a suit, they all gathered around him and tried to frighten him with sweet words.

Shang Li was so pleased that she generously picked out various accessories including necklaces, rings, bracelets, earrings, etc. and took them home.

However, although she has many things, Cui Lan usually wears only rings and necklaces.

I don't know where the ring went, but the necklace is still on me.

"Well, I asked a craftsman to do some processing on it."

Cui Lan held the necklace between her fingertips and shook the heavy ruby ​​at the bottom.

In the absence of light, the gemstone cut into many faces still reveals its brilliant colors.

"It's not much use except to increase your luck a little."

"But we are unlucky too?"

Shang Li's head is crooked.

"No, this is our lucky moment."

Cui Lan raised her eyebrows slightly. "Otherwise, we wouldn't even remember its existence and would just keep groping around."

"Although this necklace is usually a passive item, it can also be used as a one-time consumable item."

He raised his chin towards the pixel man and said, "Come here and send some energy into it."

"Even with this luck-enhancing necklace, we can only reach our current level of sophistication."

Shang Li muttered quietly, "I can't even imagine how miserable we would be without the necklace."

Despite this, he still chose to do as he was told.

The moment the bright red supernatural power merged into the gem, a strong intuition immediately surged into Shang Li's heart.

"Wow, this is what it feels like to have luck."

Shang Li blinked, then marked a location in Cui Lan's field of vision, "I think the place we are going to is here. Is this credible now?"

"very good."

Cui Lan cut open the gap, and the two of them entered an unknown time point again.

"brush--"

As Shang Li passed through the crack, a sky full of yellow sand and strong wind blew towards him.

Countless huge and twisted black shadows were looming in the wind and sand. Probably sensing the breath of living people appearing out of nowhere, those black shadows began to approach them.

"If nothing unexpected happens, we should have arrived at a rift with a desert background."

Cui Lan covered the lower half of her face with her scarf, and her long knife was stuck in the sand under her feet.

“Is this luck?”

Shang Li flew to a high altitude and looked around twice, "I hope I won't draw wrong even if the probability is increased."

"Let's go shopping first."

Cui Lan said.

"Yeah."

The ghost responded in an obedient tone and was about to return to his partner, but at this moment, a scorpion-like monster suddenly attacked him in a dust storm.

He pretended not to notice that these monsters could not touch him as a data ghost.

But when the monster actually passed through his body, Shang Li couldn't help but widen his eyes.

The shadowy pliers actually tore off his right arm.

"Yeah, it doesn't look like a simple crack."

Shang Li disbanded the part that was taken away and regrew a right arm. "Be careful, Xiao Cui."

"Um."

Cui Lan drew his knife and jumped high from the sand.

The next moment, the place where they were standing suddenly collapsed, and strange shapes like dead branches emerged, and the twisted tentacles stabbed at the two people with movements that were invisible to the naked eye.

Shang Li quickly stuck behind Cui Lan.

The barbed tentacle then turned and sank into the ground.

"Let's get out of here first!"

Cui Lan ran in the opposite direction in the sandstorm with a strong posture.

With the help of Shang Li's supernatural powers, there is no need to worry even if the vision is completely blocked by the yellow sand.

In the state of a ghost without a body, Shang Li certainly does not rely on his naked eyes to perceive the world.

More than a dozen pixelated clones are constantly monitoring the situation in different locations. Every approaching monster will be marked in advance, and Cui Lan will be guided in the appropriate direction.

But for some reason, those monsters kept chasing the two of them. Even if Shang Li distorted the monsters' senses and led them somewhere else, they would eventually turn around and come back.

As a result, the monsters that were originally moving along with the sandstorm were forced to follow Cui Lan and move against the wind.

Countless monsters as tall as buildings gathered into a black tide and began to confront the wind and sand.

"Where's your shield?"

As Cui Lan ran, he asked Shang Li who was following closely beside him, "Can't we avoid being discovered by them?"

"It seems impossible."

A red light flashed in Shang Li's hand, "I have used it since the very beginning."

"We have higher markings on us."

He said.

“Tsk.”

Seeing that the sandstorm was about to stop, Cui Lan turned around and swung his sword. A silver light flashed before his eyes in an instant, leaving a huge crack in the sand.

The space behind him was cut off, and all those monsters were suddenly squeezed on the other side of the air wall, unable to move in.

“That’s amazing!”

After Shang Lihao finished praising generously, he commanded his pixel clones to transform into red data streams and fly around to investigate, looking for a relatively peaceful and safe place.

At the same time, he placed his pale hand on Cui Lan's shoulder and began to transfer energy.

This move consumes a lot of energy. After using it twice in a short period of time, Cui Lan's face showed obvious signs of fatigue.

"Walk."

With the transmitted energy and coordinates, he once again cut off the distance between the two spaces and came to the location chosen by his clone.

"Xiao Cui, Xiao Cui."

As soon as they arrived at the coordinates, Shang Li poked Cui Lan's shoulder and pointed at the unconscious young man on the ground, "Look what I found?"

"Is this the main reason why you chose to locate here?"

Cui Lan squatted down and turned over the man's body.

The young man was wearing a short jacket and jeans, had long black hair, and his eyelids were tightly closed. Apart from the slight rise and fall of his chest, there was no movement at all.

It belongs to the "business separation" at this point in time.

"Yeah, but time is tight, I haven't had time to check it."

The ghost narrowed his red eyes and looked up and down at the young men on both sides.

Sure enough, there was the location left behind.

He looks to be in his twenties, a flesh and blood creature, not a puppet.

However...

“Is this a time traveler?”

Shang Li's fingertips went straight into the brow of his other self and felt around for a while, finally pulling out a struggling pink ball.

The system dumpling was obviously frightened, and it curled up in its palm and trembled like a constantly bouncing jelly.

"Hello, don't be nervous, I'm Villain Rescue System 031."

Shang Li smiled and pointed at Cui Lan who had an expressionless face beside him.

568, which was hiding in Cui Lan's coat pocket, quietly exposed half of its head and watched silently how the host deceived the system.

[Wow, it’s a humanoid system! ]

Pink Jelly immediately became a little silly, as if he had breathed a sigh of relief, [The number is so high, he must be a very powerful senior! ]

[Hello, seniors. I am Cannon Fodder Counterattack System 294. ]

It introduced itself obediently.

“…”

Upon hearing this, Shang Li turned around and looked at Cui Lan for a while.

Cui Lan slightly raised her left eyebrow, and he quickly raised his right eyebrow and turned his head back.

[I just brought the host to the rift and I ran into you. ]

Shang Li smiled and made up a lie: "Why did your host pass out? Did he encounter difficulties?"

【Thank you for your concern! 】

294 was moved and said: [That's right, I originally took the host with me to do a mission in the rift.]

[It was the mission of the Superpower Bureau to clear the rift, but somehow, a person suddenly appeared and started to hunt down the host.]

"Hmm?"

Shang Li pointed to the silver-eyed man beside him, "Does he look like him?"

294 shook her head, [No, his hair is pink.]

It looks like Xiao Jiang.

Shang Li thought.

"That kid actually has the ability to hunt me down?"

He twirled his long hair around his face and muttered softly.

Cui Lan: "Maybe it's because your level in this timeline is too low."

“…That’s one reason.”

Shang Li turned around and patted 294's chest and said, "It's okay. The host and I will help you solve it."

【That's great! 】

【I'll lead the way for you! 】

The pink jelly jumped out of Shang Li's palm and flew off in a certain direction.

The ghost blinked its left eye at the people beside it. Cui Lan pretended not to see it, picked up the body and followed 294.

Along the way, apart from the sounds of Shang Li and 294 chatting, there was only the sound of whistling wind and sand.

None of the countless strange things that happened before were encountered now.

After about an hour, 294 finally stopped in front of a stone tablet wrapped in white cloth.

It turned around and said to the two people behind it: "We are here. This is it."

"But there's no one here?"

Shang Li asked.

【Yes, of course.】

294 responses.

As soon as he finished speaking, crackling blue lightning appeared out of nowhere, forming a cage that tightly trapped the two people inside.
