Chapter 57: Other People's Methods of Survival

"Qiangge, hurry! Hurry! That guy is about to catch up!" Qunxiong urged incessantly.

"But this is already the fastest! How about we just get off the vehicle and run? His talent won't last for long."

"This... alright, abandon the vehicle!"

The two quickly jumped off the Tricycle, but no sooner had they landed and run a few steps than they were both cut in half at the waist by a flying Dingtang Sword, and Zhu Zhiquan arrived before them the moment they regenerated their bodies.

"Ajiu~ why are you using your talent to chase them! Don't come crying to me if you get continuous damage from the high heat again; I won't help you resurrect if you die then!" Zhao Yuxin's voice came from behind.

"Honestly, you never let anyone rest easy!" She pedaled the Tricycle while panting, and soon Zhao Yuxin parked the Tricycle behind the Tricycle of Qiangge and the others.

Zhao Yuxin was just about to get off the vehicle to lecture Zhu Zhiquan, but she saw Zhu Zhiquan tear off a corner of his clothing, use his sword to cut a slit in his hand, and drip blood onto the torn Buli, after which he tossed it to Qiangge like trash.

Qiangge and Qunxiong looked at Zhu Zhiquan in surprise. At this moment, Zhu Zhiquan had already deactivated his Boiling Blood talent, his flushed red face revealing a look of thirty percent contempt and seventy percent arrogance.

Qiangge picked up the strip of Buli stained with Zhu Zhiquan's blood and used a talent effect to extract the blood from the strip, turning it into five cards. These five cards corresponded exactly to Zhu Zhiquan's five talent skills, among which the Undead Pact was dim in color.

Qiangge put the five cards into his backpack and explained, "I'm currently using my teammate's talent; it will take a while before I can use it again."

"How long?" Zhu Zhiquan asked coldly.

"About half an hour," Qiangge said.

Zhu Zhiquan nodded. Beside him, Zhao Yuxin stepped out, grabbed his ear, and barked, "You get out of here! Didn't you two want to rob us earlier?"

"No, no! Absolutely not!" The two shook their heads like rattle-drums.

"I don't care! You two will first compensate us for the mental distress, maintenance fees, material losses, and so on caused by delaying us..." Zhao Yuxin rattled off a long list in one breath, leaving Qiangge and Qunxiong spinning in circles.

Just then, the monsters refreshed, and a massive horde of monsters appeared directly in front of the Tricycle; the Zhitian Owls in the sky increased from one to four.

"Two big bosses, let's run quickly!"

"Yeah! If we don't run now, it'll be too late!"

Hearing the words of Qiangge and Qunxiong, Zhu Zhiquan and Zhao Yuxin were both very confused. Zhao Yuxin asked, "Why should we run away?"

Qiangge and Qunxiong's eyes widened instantly, "If we don't run, are we supposed to wait for death!"

Zhao Yuxin was shocked by their words and asked in disbelief, "Huh? Have you guys always relied on running away to avoid monsters?"

Qiangge answered first, "That's right, bi... big bosses, did you guys kill them directly before?"

"This..." Zhao Yuxin was momentarily speechless, "Forget it, you two help out as well."

"Yes, yes, yes." *2

At this moment, Qiangge secretly sent a private message to Qunxiong, "Qunxiong, in a moment, let's wait until they are exhausted and secretly give them..."

Qunxiong's expression turned fierce, but only for an instant. Afterward, Qunxiong proactively requested, "Then, two big bosses, why don't I take the lead?"

"No need." While Zhao Yuxin was refusing, Zhu Zhiquan had already brought out several Green Bean Ice Cream Shooters. While they were still confused, at Zhao Yuxin's command, all the Green Bean Ice Cream Shooters began firing Crossbow Bolts at the herd of beasts incessantly.

Although there was the obstruction of the lava caterpillars and the shooting of some Crossbow Bolts, the monster army had no discipline to speak of, and coupled with the very slow speed of the lava caterpillars, they soon broke out of the lava caterpillars' protection range.

The Crossbow Bolts rained down on the monsters, and for a time, the monsters screamed repeatedly, with a large area falling down. This left Qiangge and Qunxiong dumbfounded. Qunxiong secretly asked Qiangge, "Qiangge, do you know what talent skill that woman has?"

Qiangge used an Identification-type talent on Zhao Yuxin, and after seeing it, he quickly scolded, "What are you asking for, you brat! Is the business of big bosses something for small fries like us to know?"

Afterward, he glanced at Zhao Yuxin, found nothing wrong, and sent a private message to Qunxiong: "Brother, do you know you almost got us into trouble!"

Qunxiong was just curious about what talent Zhao Yuxin had, and Qiangge had already sent him all the information on Zhao Yuxin's talent skills. When Qunxiong finished reading all of Zhao Yuxin's talent skills, he immediately slapped himself several times.

"I'm truly damned! I'm truly shameless! How could I ask a big boss such a private question! I'm not human! I..."

"Be quiet, you're too noisy!" Zhao Yuxin said with some displeasure.

Qunxiong immediately covered his mouth, fearing he would make Zhao Yuxin angry again.

At this time, the four Zhitian Owls gathered fireballs, preparing to launch them. Zhao Yuxin directed the Green Bean Ice Cream Shooters to fire at the sky, and a large number of Crossbow Bolts covered the sky, shooting the four Zhitian Owls into hedgehogs on the spot, causing them to fall.

And while Zhao Yuxin was directing the Green Bean Ice Cream Shooters to shoot the Zhitian Owls, all the monsters took advantage of this brief gap to rush toward the group.

Just when Qiangge and Qunxiong thought they were about to make a move, Zhu Zhiquan threw a few Chili at the beast herd. A series of explosions rang out, and the monsters at the very front lay on the ground, rolling incessantly.

Some who were close were blown to death, and at the same time, the Green Bean Ice Cream Shooters fired at the monsters again, and the monsters were vaguely suppressed and unable to lift their heads.

Qiangge left behind their two phantoms on the spot, then exchanged glances with Qunxiong, quietly hid back in the Tricycle, and left the place at high speed.

Zhu Zhiquan looked at the two who had run away, turned his head, and asked Zhao Yuxin, "Azhao, why did you let them go?"

Zhao Yuxin said disdainfully, "Them? How much are they worth? As early as when I met them, I had already noticed that their Tricycle didn't actually have anything good. Rather than robbing them, it's better to kill these monsters."

Zhu Zhiquan stopped talking and just played his role of replenishing firepower.

Soon the beast herd was killed off completely, and the two were driving on the Desert Highway again, only it was unclear if it was because they were going in the opposite direction, but there were always fireballs falling from the sky.

Zhu Zhiquan boredly opened the World Channel to see if there was any new news inside.

Princess Who Loves Milk Tea: "My god! Why do fireballs keep falling from the sky! Aren't we always moving forward? Is this damn system trying to kill us!"

Little Orange Who Loves Sugar: "It's alright, I just feel that the frequency of the fireballs falling now isn't fast. Otherwise, adding in the sinkholes that appear at any time and the beast herds that appear every so often, who knows how many more people would die."

Zhu Zhiquan thought about the current crisis and was a bit curious about how other players survived, after all, he had always relied on Zhao Yuxin's Bat Wing Ear to avoid sinkholes.

So he asked curiously, "Um, I want to know how those players who don't have enough strength but have powerful perception talents survive under the threat of sinkholes and beast herds?"

Die-hard Fan of Bear Grylls: "It's very simple. Before a sinkhole, there will be a slight earthquake. Even if you are driving very fast, you can feel a little bit of this kind of earthquake, so every time we feel an earthquake, we stop the car and observe for a while."

Zhu Zhiquan suddenly realized, so he decided to try it when it was his turn to drive later.
