Chapter 53: Super Mold 17
Unfortunately, the man was not intimidated by the crossbow bolt.
He continued to approach Chu Yian, who decisively shot the crossbow bolt. However, the man was extremely agile; he dodged it, only getting a slight graze on his arm.
He grabbed her!
The opponent was strong and well-built; Chu Yian was no match for him. He easily gripped both of her wrists with one hand, pressing his knee against her waist.
Their posture was intimate, as if the man was pinning Chu Yian down to kiss her—if he hadn’t been holding a still-dripping crossbow bolt aimed at her neck.
The sharp crossbow bolt had already pierced the delicate skin of her neck, and blood was particularly striking against her fair skin.
No sooner said than done.
A golden treasure box, inlaid with gems, suddenly appeared and slammed directly into the man. Bai Sinian instinctively reached out to block it, but was immediately shoved into the corner by the heavy, nearly thousand-pound box.
What a huge piece of gold!
Everyone present, except Chu Yian, was stunned.
“What are you waiting for? Run!”
Chu Yian’s hushed voice rang in You Che’s ear, and he quickly followed her pace.
“Brother Bai!”
The people upstairs also reacted. However, instead of chasing Chu Yian and You Che, they were more concerned about their leader.
The two successfully ran out of the building. Seeing that no one was chasing them, You Che, still panting, gestured, “Chu… girl, your fancy box…”
Could that be the portable space she mentioned? Did she just throw it away?!
She didn’t throw it away.
Chu Yian had experimented: once the box was more than two hundred meters away from her, it would automatically revert to an icon and return to her palm.
“Where’s the car?” Chu Yian urged.
You Che rubbed his hands at her words; now it was his turn to shine. Feeling a bit nervous for the first time in front of a companion, he silently prayed he could summon a powerful car.
The next moment, a cool-looking, flashy sports car appeared before them—the best car he had ever drawn since the game began—an Aston Martin.
You Che’s anxiousness vanished instantly, replaced by pride. “Miss Chu, please.”
Chu Yian heard his address change from ‘Elder’ to ‘Miss.’ She glanced at him, got in, and buckled her seatbelt. After the car started and drove out of the Residential Area gate, she slowly said, “Just call me Elder, it sounds more natural.”
You Che heard her, and the car swerved uncontrollably. What… what kind of preference was that?!
Meanwhile.
In the Residential Area stairwell, the treasure box had disappeared when Chu Yian left. Bai Sinian watched the box pressing on his leg vanish, and the spot where his thigh had been pressed immediately bled profusely.
He looked at the blood on his leg as if it wasn’t his own, and began to laugh, his expression inexplicably… cruel and perverse.
There was a doctor in the eight-person team; someone quickly helped him bandage his wound, and others monitored the two below through the window. “Brother Bai, they drove off!”
Bai Sinian looked at the backpack on the stairs and gestured to a subordinate nearby. “Pick that up for me.”
The subordinate quickly jogged over, picked it up, and handed it to him.
Bai Sinian opened the backpack, emptied out the mineral water and food, and then found three maps at the very bottom of the backpack. The world map was particularly neat, the city map wasn’t too messy, but the national map was scribbled on, erased, and redrawn, with a crooked, red-marked route leading directly from their city to X City.
There was also a small line of text: Axi Dimi Mountains.
What was this?
A map of the survival zone?
Bai Sinian looked at the map and laughed.
Interesting, truly too interesting! He hadn’t expected these two players to find the route to the survival zone so quickly.
Thinking of the woman who had clearly been terrified but still tried to shoot him with trembling hands, Bai Sinian laughed louder and louder. Then, his laughter abruptly stopped, his eyes filled with coldness.
Chua—
He took the crossbow bolt that Chu Yian hadn’t had time to retrieve and plunged it into the nearby wall. He used so much force that the arrowhead directly embedded itself a third of the way in—
If he met her again next time… he would crush her into a pulp with a heavy object… Chu Yian didn’t know she had provoked a pervert. She was currently stopping the bleeding on her neck and applying a medicinal bandage.
This escape had come with quite a few losses.
She had originally only had ten crossbow bolts, but this time she lost three; the map was in the backpack, so the route map was essentially given away for free. Besides these two important items, they also lost a lot of supplies.
Thinking of the man who had almost killed her, Chu Yian couldn’t help but curse, “Bastard!”
“Huh?”
You Che, who was driving, looked at Chu Yian.
“Don’t be in a hurry to leave the city yet.”
Chu Yian looked at the surrounding streets, recalling the copy shop she had visited last time. She directed him all the way to the entrance of the copy shop.
Most of the shops on this street had been smashed. Perhaps because this shop only offered copying services, its front door was still intact.
Chu Yian knocked twice, and when no one answered, she called You Che over to pick the lock.
Hearing the sound of the lock being picked, the person inside finally opened the door.
It was a young man, emaciated from hunger, with dark circles under his eyes, who looked at Chu Yian and You Che. “What do you want? I haven’t eaten in days. Feel free to search if you want.”
Saying this, he prepared to lie back down on his messy cot, but Chu Yian grabbed him. “I need your help to print some things.”
“I’m starving to death, what good is printing anything?” The young man didn’t move, not even wanting to speak much.
Chu Yian looked at You Che at his words. “Do you still have food?”
His backpack was left in the Residential Area, what could he possibly have?
You Che actually wanted to say no, but seeing Chu Yian’s gaze sweep over him, he slowly and reluctantly pulled out a chocolate bar tucked into his waistband.
Due to his body heat, the chocolate had already melted a bit, but this didn’t affect its ability to satiate hunger and provide energy. The young man’s eyes went wide the moment he saw it.
“For me?”
“Help us copy a few maps, and I’ll give it to you when you’re done,” Chu Yian promised him.
Soon, the printer started humming.
The other person opened the computer and printed all four blueprints Chu Yian gave him.
The two parties exchanged goods for payment.
After Chu Yian left, the man eagerly tore open the chocolate wrapper, savoring the precious food bit by bit.
These two people were so strange; it was the end of the world with food shortages, yet they were still wasting food to print things.
He had just complained about them when he suddenly remembered what they had printed—
A world map,
A national map,
A city map,
And a map of X City!
Damn it, they printed maps!
The young man quickly looked at the data still on the computer and printed a copy for himself…
