Chapter 80
City C is a modern city in the horror world, with tall buildings and busy traffic, and everything seems to be no different from the real world.
Xingnuo walked out of the small shabby station and came to the street outside. He was shocked by the towering buildings in front of him.
The streets are full of people walking in a hurry. Everyone is dressed in fancy clothes, carrying bags and walking hurriedly.
Some people even held their phones and complained madly:
"Why should I work overtime? I will quit after this month!"
"Isn't this mission for me? I finally got my day off!"
Xingnuo listened to these familiar words, and for a moment, he felt as if he had returned to his hometown.
He was stunned for a few seconds and couldn't help asking Lu Qi:
"Xiaoqi, are we home yet?"
If we ask the police for help at this time, can we quickly find the children who were sold and return them to the kindergarten?
This was also Lu Qi’s first time in City C. He stared at the buildings in front of him with his crystal blue eyes, looking at the monsters busy at work inside, and shook his head slightly.
"No, Xingnuo is still in the copy world."
Xingnuo now has a vague understanding of the copy.
In his understanding, the copy is equivalent to the fantasy world that Xiaoya accidentally came to.
Sighing, Xingnuo pursed his lips uncomfortably.
"Well, let's go to the amusement park."
The two children held hands and stood on the street waiting for the traffic light. They found the layout map of City C printed in front of the bus stop.
Lu Qi took a quick glance, and the flat layout diagram instantly turned into a 3D stereoscopic image in his eyes.
He pointed to a location on the map:
"This is the amusement park. City C is very big. It takes us nearly six hours to walk there."
Xingnuo has been walking these two days and feels that his physical condition has improved a lot.
During those busy days, Xingnuo only had a simple cough but was not sick with a fever.
Xingnuo nodded, rummaged through his empty pockets, and spread out his hands.
“We don’t have money to take the bus.”
There are so many people on the bus, you will definitely be discovered if you evade the fare.
Lu Qi was also a poor guy. He stared at the route map for a while, and suddenly, he noticed a vague gaze.
The urban beauty who was waiting for the bus, wearing fashionable headphones and a baseball cap, wearing shorts and leather boots, seemed to be looking at her mobile phone, but in fact her eyes were always on Xingnuo.
Lu Qi paid much more attention to Xingnuo than to himself. When he noticed someone was looking at Xingnuo, he immediately stood in front of Xingnuo.
"Xingnuo, let's go."
Lu Qi pulled Xingnuo's little hand and took Xingnuo quickly across the zebra crossing.
Xingnuo was hurriedly being dragged across the road, running quickly, with his curly-haired little boy swaying up and down.
"We are running so fast, slow down a bit."
The two of them trotted away, and the woman who was looking at her phone immediately raised her head and stared at the place where Xingnuo ran away.
At this time, a post published by a mobile phone was quickly pinned to the top:
[I saw the child on the notice! In front of the bus stop of Ginza Building in City C! 】
The post received a very quick response, and countless monsters took action upon hearing the news.
[I'll go now!] 】
[Ahhhhh, it must fall into my hands! 】
[Little cutie, just wait to be caught by your aunt, hahaha! 】
Lu Qi, who had just run out of the street, felt that there were many more vague gazes in the dark.
Even Xingnuo, who has a human physique, felt it a beat late.
Xingnuo supported himself on his knees and panted, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and said:
"Xiao Qi, I feel like a lot of people are looking at me."
Lu Qi stood in front of Xingnuo cautiously and nodded.
"It looks like we're wanted."
Lu Qi's energy was too weak to break into the internal network of City C, so he could only draw conclusions based on his own judgment.
Xingnuo had never learned these two words, so he asked in a low voice:
"What does 'wanted' mean?"
Lu Qi explained carefully:
"There are just a lot of monsters that will come and catch us."
Xingnuo's heart tightened in an instant, and the expression on his face was confused and nervous.
"Why? Because we just took the bus and evaded the fare?"
Are the consequences of being caught sneaking onto the bus without a fare really so serious?
Lu Qi shook his head, unable to explain the reason, and could only guess:
"Perhaps, because you are human?"
In the eyes of monsters, humans are a hot commodity that can replenish their blood and flesh energy.
Lu Qi will not devour humans to replenish energy, because Xingnuo is a human being and he has a natural liking for this species.
Xingnuo still didn’t understand, so she pursed her lips and couldn’t help sniffing.
"Next time, I'll put a lot of money in my pocket and give it back to the car mechanic."
If they had known that fare evasion was so serious, they would have just walked over on their short legs.
Sighing, the two little ones who were "wanted" had no time to feel sad. Hand in hand, they started running into the alley again.
Less than a few seconds after he ran away, an elite man in a suit appeared in the spot.
"Hey? Why are you running so fast? Weren't you still here just now?"
The elite man, who was a step late, had a look of regret on his face.
"Really? This crappy job is holding me back from making money!"
On the other side, Xingnuo and Lu Qi ran away, not daring to stop all the way to the next alley.
Lu Qi's ability played the greatest role at this time. The blue light in his eyes flickered, and he was always able to accurately avoid the people who came to catch them.
Even if there were monsters coming from all directions, he could always find a remote and unknown path and quickly pass through it, leaving the monsters empty-handed.
It didn't matter that he was blocked in front and behind, Lu Qi could still step into a D-level copy in the alley and quickly disappear on the spot with Xingnuo.
Xingnuo was so tired that he was out of breath. He lay on the ragdoll sheep in the D-level copy, feeling the swaying speed and took a long breath.
“I’m so tired.”
Xingnuo was so tired after running away from monsters all the way that he lay motionless on the sheep with his curly hair drooping and his hands hanging down.
The ragdoll sheep floated in mid-air, dodging a fruit that was flying towards them, and asked another question:
[Please answer, how many watermelons just flew over? 】
Lu Qi, who was lying next to Xing Nuo, spoke:
"Five."
Sometimes, a D-level copy is not just a simple copy for earning points, but also a barrier for players to avoid harm.
The most important thing is that the doll sheep keeps moving forward and will take them to another copy exit.
This dungeon exit will immediately appear at other intersections or alleys in City C, which can directly avoid the situation where monsters are blocking them at the dungeon entrance.
After answering a few questions, Lu Qi jumped off the sheep with Xingnuo. Before the feeling of weightlessness came, they landed on the hard concrete ground of City C again.
Xingnuo patted his chest, where his heart was hanging heavy, sighed, and looked around.
"Where is this?"
Lu Qi took a quick look, pulled Xingnuo and turned to run towards the exit.
"This is the subway entrance, let's run!"
A subway train just arrived at the station. Many monsters took the elevator upstairs. They looked up and saw two little monsters running at the door, and they instantly became alert.
"I saw that little curly-haired one!"
"Ahhh, what a surprise! Please make the elevator move faster!"
Some monsters were blocked at the back and simply tore through their suits. Their two human legs turned into thick green monster legs. They jumped into the air and ran over the pile of monsters to the front.
Xingnuo and Lu Qi hurriedly ran out of the subway exit, followed by a series of monsters.
Other monsters joined in one after another, and soon, the monsters behind them formed a river.
Just as the monsters were chasing them vigorously, they looked forward and could see no trace of the two children.
“Where are the people?!”
"It disappeared. Is there a copy here?"
"Damn it, whoever created a bunch of crappy dungeons should ask the mayor to make some proper plans and not create a bunch of dungeons in the streets, okay?"
Xing Nuo successfully escaped again, leaning against the wall of the sewer, holding Lu Qi's hand, his little chest heaving, gasping for breath.
Lu Qi was holding a cloth bag in his hand, which contained some unfinished bread and water.
After turning on the water and feeding Xingnuo two sips, Lu Qi looked up at the monsters that hurried over and patted Xingnuo's little chest to comfort him.
"It's okay, we can just go along the sewers and find the amusement park faster."
The sewer system is extensive, and with the sunny weather in City C recently, there is not much stagnant water except for some debris such as bones.
Walking along the sewer, Xingnuo and Lu Qi held hands and headed towards the amusement park.
Traveling in the sewer saves about half the time compared to traveling on the road.
At noon, Xingnuo and Lu Qi, after going through numerous hardships, finally arrived at the nearest sewer entrance to the amusement park.
Pushing the sewer cover, Lu Qi used his head to knock it open. With a bang, a hard head popped out.
He glanced outside and waved to Xingnuo who was looking up below.
"Xingnuo, come up."
At noon, neither the players nor the monsters seemed to be in the mood to play.
Cheerful children's songs and lively laughter could be faintly heard from inside the amusement park, but there were only a few people at the entrance.
The players dressed in black were standing at the entrance of the amusement park, observing it carefully.
The leading female player saw that the team members were nervous and spoke to comfort them:
"This is a newly opened A-level instance. The difficulty is definitely not as high as some mature instances. Besides, there are many points for clearing the instance, so there must be quite a few high-level items in it."
Upon hearing this, the teammates gritted their teeth and prepared to go in with determination.
"Let's go for it! No matter what, we're going to clear this instance today!"
Before he could walk in with full morale, the fat monster ticket seller at the door stretched out his hand and bared his teeth to stop them.
"Hey, where's the ticket?!"
The player's embarrassed expression flashed across his face, and he turned around and obediently queued up to buy tickets with his teammates.
"Who on earth came up with this idea? We need to spend star coins to buy a ticket to enter a dungeon?!"
"It's only 700 yuan even with a 50% discount after the opening. I'm so heartbroken!"
"This monster is so evil! He has killed someone!"
The players' complaints gradually dissipated in the air.
Xing Nuo heard that he needed to buy a ticket to enter, looked at Lu Qi, and silently took a step back with his short legs.
“We have no money.”
Poverty is the keyword that the two children have been through along the way.
Lu Qi patted his chest reliably and said that he had a way. Then, he pulled Xingnuo around to a small hole at the edge of the amusement park.
"We can crawl in through the hole!"
The amusement park covers a large area, and there are always some corners and edges that are not built so well.
Xingnuo looked at the small and narrow cave in front of him, and couldn't help but sigh when he thought about being chased by monsters for evading the ticket.
The consequences of fare evasion are really serious!
When I have enough money, I will definitely buy the entrance and train tickets!
Then, you won’t have to be chased by monsters all over the city.
