Chapter 40: Walking Alone

Suddenly, Zhao Yuxin had a flash of inspiration and said, "Ajiu, are you planning to go kill those slime monsters after you finish asking?"

Zhu Zhiquan nodded, and Zhao Yuxin pointed at him and said, "That won't work! With so many slime monsters, can you kill them all by yourself?"

"But once they return to their own territory, I'll find an opportunity to finish them off..." Before Zhu Zhiquan could finish his sentence, Zhao Yuxin covered his mouth with one hand.

"So what if they return to their own territory? What if something unexpected happens!?"

Facing her questioning, Zhu Zhiquan stopped talking. Instead, he walked straight out of their hiding spot, crafted a Dagger Spear in the crafting interface, and headed toward the slime monsters.

This scene was seen by players in other buildings of the factory, who cast curious gazes one after another.

"Eat~"

"Eat~"

"Eat~"

……………

Seeing that the two-legged beast who had previously offended their territory dared to return, the slime monsters charged at Zhu Zhiquan one after another. Zhu Zhiquan flourished his spear and charged at the slime monsters as well.

Boom!!!

Swish, swish, swish~

Zhu Zhiquan first used bombs to clear a path, then seized the chance to charge into the slime monsters and slaughter them in all directions. Everywhere he passed, the eyeballs of the slime monsters were completely destroyed, and system announcements rang out continuously in the minds of Zhu Zhiquan and Zhao Yuxin.

"Killed Kodomona, points +5"

"Killed Kodomona, points +5"

"Killed Kodomona, points +5"

………………

"So the name of this slime monster is Kodomona, and one is only worth this little? This... hmm?" While Zhao Yuxin was complaining, she heard a familiar voice.

"Like this, like this... and then like this, like this... by then, the points of those two players will both be ours."

"But what about that woman? Didn't you say her talent counters you very well?"

Zhao Yuxin crawled slowly in the direction of the voice. After getting close enough, she hid behind a corner to observe. The source of the voice was a man and a woman.

Zhao Yuxin recognized the woman; she was the one who had been killed by her right at the beginning of entering the factory. Although Zhao Yuxin had never seen the other one, she could deduce that it was the Mole Player who had attacked them earlier.

Listening to them discuss a plan detrimental to her, Zhao Yuxin activated the Wrist-Mounted Strange Crossbow and fired a Crossbow Bolt at one of them.

Whoosh~

Puchi~

The Mole Player was pierced through the forehead by the tiny Crossbow Bolt, and his body turned into white light and dissipated. Seeing this familiar Crossbow Bolt, the woman immediately recalled the experience of being stabbed in the chest by a sword and was so frightened that she hurriedly hid behind a corner.

Zhao Yuxin reloaded the Crossbow Bolt and crawled slowly under the cover of the wall.

The woman on the other side was covered in cold sweat. After all, Zhao Yuxin could now accurately locate her position based on her talent, while her own talent could not accurately find Zhao Yuxin's position, not to mention that Zhao Yuxin was protected by armor.

Thus, she asked tremblingly, "Big sister, please don't make a move yet! Can we talk this over properly? I promise on behalf of my teammate that we won't target you anymore. Please, I beg you to let me go, okay?"

Zhao Yuxin cleared her throat, "What benefit do I get from letting you go? Besides, what if you find another chance to target us?"

"We won't, we won't~ Big sister, your talent is so powerful, I guarantee that my teammate and I will never target you again."

"Fine, what do you plan to trade for your life? Let's get this straight, we aren't short on low-level supplies."

"Big sister, I... we have seeds in our vehicle, I don't know if you..."

"What kind of seeds!"

"They are mung beans and figs, I wonder if they meet your needs?"

Zhao Yuxin first checked on Zhu Zhiquan's situation. At this time, Zhu Zhiquan was still fighting the slime monsters, and from the results, the slime monsters called Kodomona were already few in number, and Zhu Zhiquan's Fish Scale Armor was relatively intact.

This made Zhao Yuxin feel very relieved, but if she left now, what if someone ambushed him?

Plus, Zhao Yuxin's legs were currently inconvenient; once one of them was killed, or other players teamed up to surround them at this time, it would be very easy for the two of them to be eliminated.

Thinking of this, Zhao Yuxin threatened, "Go get the seeds and bring them here right now, otherwise you know what will happen."

"Understood, understood!" The woman hurriedly agreed, then ran toward her Tricycle as if flying.

Zhao Yuxin hurriedly crawled behind a hidden window to watch Zhu Zhiquan. At this time, Zhu Zhiquan had switched to the Dingtang Sword and was fighting the remaining Kodomona.

Before long, Zhu Zhiquan crushed the eyeball of the last Kodomona and, under the hidden gazes around him, returned to the place where they had been hiding together.

"Ajiu, over here~"

Hearing the call, Zhu Zhiquan ran quickly toward Zhao Yuxin and reached her side. While wiping his sweat, Zhao Yuxin told Zhu Zhiquan about the conversation she had just had with that woman.

"So I won't commit suicide for now, and I'll wait with you for that woman to bring the seeds over."

"Oh, but I think it's because you're afraid of death that you're not committing suicide, right?"

"Nonsense! I'm worried about your safety, okay! If I commit suicide now, and something happens while I haven't respawned, wouldn't that be a disaster!"

Zhu Zhiquan pulled her into his arms, "Alright, alright, you're right. I'll wait here with you, and if you want to commit suicide later, that's fine."

"Hmph!" Zhao Yuxin had a tsundere expression.

Zhu Zhiquan sat beside her to wait. Time passed slowly, but there was still no sign of that woman.

"How dare she stand me up! Ouch~" Zhao Yuxin was so angry she wanted to stand up, but instead, she tugged at the abscess on her ankle, and helplessly, she sat back down.

Zhu Zhiquan first adjusted his backpack to the front, carried Zhao Yuxin on his back to find another place to hide, while Zhao Yuxin kept nagging on his back.

"Ajiu, don't run around after I die, you hear me?"

"If I find out after I respawn that it's not the same place we were hiding, see how I deal with you!"

"By the way, don't provoke anyone before I respawn. After all, there must be quite a few players here with amazing strength. Before I respawn, run if you can, hide if you can, you hear me?"

……………

Amidst Zhao Yuxin's nagging, Zhu Zhiquan had already carried her to a trash bin.

Zhao Yuxin took a piece of wood out of her backpack to jam the lid of the trash bin, but after thinking about it, she took out some Buli, twisted it, placed it on both sides, and removed the wood.

Feeling it was about right, she gave Zhu Zhiquan various instructions, then drew her sword, preparing to commit suicide. But when the sword was at her neck, Zhao Yuxin asked again: "Ajiu, what is the world like after you die? Will it be very terrifying?"

Zhu Zhiquan shook his head, "After experiencing death twice, I didn't feel anything; it was just like taking a nap."

"Oh." Zhao Yuxin nodded, "Then how many points do we have now?"

Zhu Zhiquan opened the panel and took a look, "192."

"Oh, then..."

Puchi~

Zhu Zhiquan shoved the sword into Zhao Yuxin's neck, Zhao Yuxin dissipated along with a white light, and Zhu Zhiquan bolted out of the trash bin and entered a building through a window.

"Obedient? Heh~ Being obedient is impossible. I am going to be the number one in this game. If I end up falling behind others because I waited for you, then how could I become the number one in this game?"

Zhu Zhiquan muttered while exploring the floor, not having listened to a single word of what Zhao Yuxin said.
