Chapter 224: Battle of the Night (Part 6)

~8 min read 1,499 words

Boom!

A colorful firework exploded in the air, and immediately after, two figures smashed into the ground, creating a large hole in the rigid concrete road.

At the bottom of the hole, Zhu Zhiquan was pinning Wang Ce down, surrounded by a lot of rubble, water pipes, and cables. There were also many things on the ground constantly emitting a foul stench, so pungent that it was hard to keep one's eyes open.

Although Wang Ce did not die thanks to the attribute bonuses from his transformation, the impact of the fall still fractured his scapula, and his wings were also severed by Zhu Zhiquan during the descent.

"You win." Wang Ce unwillingly deactivated his talent and tried to grope for his scattered glasses, but his hands would not obey him.

Zhu Zhiquan got off him and handed the broken glasses he found nearby into his hands.

"What are you doing? Why haven't you killed me yet to gain points?" Wang Ce looked at Zhu Zhiquan with some confusion.

"Are your hands numb?" Zhu Zhiquan did not dwell on this, raised the Xuangang Spear, and thrust it into Wang Ce's throat.

"Hahaha~ Zhu Zhiquan, just you wait! I will definitely take revenge in the next world!" Wang Ce roared as he turned into white light and dissipated, leaving behind a large stack of blueprints.

Zhu Zhiquan sat down on the spot to recover his stamina and review the battle that had just taken place.

"Hmm~ I almost lost. This guy's talent is quite good, being able to fly in the sky, but it's a pity his melee combat isn't very good. If only I also had a talent for flying in the sky, but it doesn't matter. Maybe one day I will."

Beep, beep, beep~

Beep, beep, beep~

There were constant beeping sounds in his mind, and Zhu Zhiquan immediately opened his panel to check.

Zhao Yuxin: "Ajiu, how are you? You didn't get hurt falling from the sky just now, did you?"

Zhu Zhiquan: "No."

Zhao Yuxin: "That's good. By the way, those people have already escaped the ancient town from other intersections; hurry back so I can go back to sleep."

"Alright." Zhu Zhiquan closed the panel and looked at his Personal Panel again.

"Out of mana, I'd better have Azhao call the Lock-Hook Tree Demon over to pull me up." Zhu Zhiquan sent a private message to Zhao Yuxin, when he suddenly heard the sound of a Tricycle engine in the distance.

Zhu Zhiquan immediately sent the private message and leveled his Xuangang Spear toward the direction the sound was coming from.

Gradually, a rickety Tricycle drove out from the corner ahead; the glass in the driver's cab had only a few fragments left, and the headlights on it were nowhere to be seen.

Zhu Zhiquan recognized at a glance that it was Wang Ce's vehicle. He had previously had the Green Leaf Burrowing Vine dig a hole under his vehicle, but he hadn't expected it to still be drivable after falling in!

The person driving was naturally Wang Ce's teammate, or rather, his subordinate. At this moment, the player saw Zhu Zhiquan standing there alone, along with the mess on the ground, and his voice trembled uncontrollably as he said: "You... you finished off our Regiment Leader!"

Zhu Zhiquan looked at him coldly, a cold glint appearing in his eyes.

This player looked Zhu Zhiquan up and down, saw that he was covered in wounds, immediately got out of the vehicle, took a bag of short spears from the carriage, and then threw one at Zhu Zhiquan.

Zzzzt, zzzzt~

The short spear, laced with electric current, flew toward Zhu Zhiquan's heart like a bolt of lightning. The dazzling electric light illuminated the entire sewer; if anyone looked directly at it, they would likely be blinded.

Fortunately, Zhu Zhiquan had sensed the danger the moment the opponent raised his hand, and he immediately rolled on the ground to dodge the attack in advance.

Boom!

Clatter, clatter~

After the short spear hit the ground, it produced a violent explosion, and at the same time, electric current spread to the surroundings.

"Huh? You actually dodged it? Then let's see how long you can dodge!" As he said this, the player threw several more short spears in succession, blocking Zhu Zhiquan's space for evasion.

At the critical moment, Zhu Zhiquan raised his right fist high, and a Crossbow Bolt with a thin rope flew out from his sleeve, just in time to help him escape the opponent's attack.

"You're pretty good at dodging!" Seeing Zhu Zhiquan neutralize his attacks multiple times, the player trapped in the sewer immediately jumped back into the vehicle and hurriedly reversed to leave.

Seeing the opponent about to run, Zhu Zhiquan originally thought about chasing after him, but just as he returned to the ground, a Vine landed at their feet.

"Ajiu, stop fighting, hurry back!"

Zhao Yuxin's voice came through, forcing Zhu Zhiquan to give up the pursuit; he could only obediently let himself be tied up and wait to be pulled up by the Vine.

Watching Zhu Zhiquan being reeled up, Zhao Yuxin yawned and returned to the carriage to continue sleeping.

Zhu Zhiquan also returned to the carriage and turned to instruct the Durian Warrior and the Lock-Hook Tree Demon to collect the plants and the remaining Landmine Pinecones.

He himself headed to the ambush site to collect the scattered blueprints and supplies. If there was too much to fit, he would have to mass-produce items to save space.

After some cleaning up, they ultimately looted a total of 24 units of Chip, 14 units of electronic parts, 30 units of Level 2 Metal, 31 units of Gasoline, 11 units of electronic components, and countless various blueprints and basic supplies.

After clearing the scene, they drove on to continue searching for other players. By the time they switched shifts at one o'clock in the morning, Zhu Zhiquan had killed fewer than a hundred players, half of whom were killed in the ancient town.

However, although it was time to switch shifts, Zhu Zhiquan couldn't bear to wake Zhao Yuxin up, as she had been woken up repeatedly due to the loud commotion earlier. So, to make up for it, Zhu Zhiquan decided to stand guard for a while longer.

But one thing had to be mentioned: this Xuebao slept way too soundly. No matter how loud the commotion was outside, this guy just wouldn't wake up. He wondered if all Ice Cream Cacti were like this.

Soon, following the map's guidance, Zhu Zhiquan encountered another Tricycle, though its appearance seemed somewhat familiar.

"Hello~ friend, can you come out and chat for a bit?" A robust voice came over, and Zhu Zhiquan immediately identified who it was.

He saw Luo Jinrui get out of the vehicle in front and cautiously approach Zhu Zhiquan's vehicle.

Zhu Zhiquan also got out of the vehicle but kept his distance from the other party.

"Little Zhu, how many points did you guys get in total?"

"State your business, or we part ways here."

"Sigh, sigh, sigh~ don't be so impatient, we're all pretty familiar with each other anyway, why don't we cooperate?"

"Why?"

"Hmm... hehe, well, I won't hide it from you, my brother still hasn't woken up yet, so I've been the only one driving this whole time, so..."

"Fine."

"That's great, I'm going to take a fifteen-minute nap, remember to wake me up when the time is up. I haven't closed my eyes for almost the whole night, if I don't sleep now I'll be dead tired!" After saying this, Luo Jinrui returned to the carriage and fell fast asleep.

The loud snoring woke Zhao Yuxin up again; she checked the time and realized she had overslept by the length of a class, so she immediately put on her protective gear and headed to the driver's seat.

As it turned out, when she got out of the car, she found another vehicle parked in front, and the snoring was coming from that car.

Zhu Zhiquan, who was sitting in the driver's seat, noticed she was awake and immediately jumped out of the car to explain the whole sequence of events.

Zhao Yuxin nodded and said, "So that's how it is, then you go get some sleep first, I'll wake him up in a while."

Zhu Zhiquan didn't dawdle and immediately entered the carriage to rest. Meanwhile, Zhao Yuxin looked at the Luo Family Brothers' car and couldn't help but shake her head and sigh, "What a pity, if they could withdraw, people like them would probably have vanished without a trace long ago."
