Chapter 64: Volcano Maze (Part IV)

"Ah~ Ajiu, look, this soup is spilled everywhere!" Zhao Yuxin wiped the grease inside the carriage with some Buli, having set the self-heating hot pot aside.

Zhu Zhiquan and the Ice Cream Cactus moved the supplies into the carriage and saw Zhao Yuxin wiping up the spilled grease. Zhu Zhiquan arranged for the Ice Cream Cactus to take over for Zhao Yuxin, while he opened all the Material Boxes they had just harvested.

The supplies opened soon filled the Tricycle carriage, and Zhao Yuxin, who had intended to eat the self-heating hot pot, was squeezed into a corner, controlling her body to keep the soup from spilling.

Seeing this, Zhu Zhiquan chose to upgrade the Tricycle; a white light enveloped their Tricycle, and when the white light dissipated, their Tricycle had grown a size larger.

Name: Old Fuel-Powered Tricycle v4

Maximum Speed: 30+3-1/h (Vehicle's base speed + tire speed - speed from vehicle expansion blueprint)

Introduction: Don't let the fact that this Tricycle is a bit old fool you; you can still trust its power.

Upgrade Requirements: 3 Car Ornaments, 6 Vehicle Components, 8 units of electronic components, 16 units of electronic parts, 10 units of wood, 15 units of glass.

"Damn it... ah meow meow meow~ I was almost squeezed to death!" Zhao Yuxin said while eating, "Ajiu, come here, how about some tripe? By the way, Baobao, hurry up and drive far away from here."

While the Ice Cream Cactus drove the Tricycle, Zhu Zhiquan and Zhao Yuxin had already finished the self-heating hot pot together; although the Ice Cream Cactus also wanted to eat the self-heating hot pot, Zhao Yuxin wouldn't let it, citing that it couldn't eat it.

After Zhu Zhiquan finished the self-heating hot pot, he lay down in the carriage to rest, while Zhao Yuxin called the Ice Cream Cactus over to continue their previous plant research.

Just as Zhao Yuxin exhausted her third shovel, she suddenly sensed through her Bat Wing Ear that a convoy was approaching them, and Zhao Yuxin hurriedly woke Zhu Zhiquan to stand guard.

As the sound drew closer, Zhao Yuxin worriedly said, "Ajiu, could it be the people from that previous Chief Financial Officer?"

A murderous aura leaked from Zhu Zhiquan's eyes, "Oh, then I can let them go keep their Chief Financial Officer company."

"You... sigh, forget it." Zhao Yuxin piled various supplies over Zhu Zhiquan, "Ajiu, remember, no matter what happens, don't come out."

Zhu Zhiquan tried to crawl out, but was pressed back down by Zhao Yuxin. Zhao Yuxin touched her nose and said, "Don't doubt me, just stay in there; fooling this group of people is a piece of cake for me!"

At this time, those in the convoy had already started shouting at their Tricycle, "Come out! Come out! Is there anyone inside? Hurry up and come out!"

"Coming~" Zhao Yuxin hurriedly ran out, her face still wrapped in Buli to conceal her features, and she deliberately strained her voice to say politely, "I wonder what business you players have?"

"Have you seen this person?" A player who looked like a squad leader pulled out a photo; it was exactly the photo of Zhu Zhiquan taken by the Chief Financial Officer before he died.

Zhao Yuxin had a flash of inspiration and said to them, "I saw this person driving a Tricycle and heading forward!"

"Go!" At the squad leader's command, the convoy prepared to follow the maze corridor forward, but the upgraded Tricycle was a bit too large, and the convoy couldn't get through.

"Sorry everyone, I'll be off then." Saying this, Zhao Yuxin ran toward the Tricycle's driver's seat, preparing to drive away.

"Grab her!" The squad leader suddenly called out to stop Zhao Yuxin, "I see your Tricycle upgraded quite fast. How about this, lend your Tricycle to our Black Scorpion Group, and we'll return it to you after we catch the person."

"On what grounds! You can't be this unreasonable just because you formed a group!" Zhao Yuxin scolded, but then subconsciously covered her mouth, because she had accidentally revealed her original voice just now.

Hearing Zhao Yuxin's voice, the squad leader's eyes sharpened, "Your voice... is the person in the photo just now hiding in your vehicle! Men, search it for me!" A group of people immediately surrounded them.

Just at this moment……………

Whoosh~

A Crossbow Bolt pierced through two people in a row, and Zhu Zhiquan, holding a Xuangang Spear and activating Boiling Blood and Nightmare Demon Eye, instantly killed another.

The squad leader turned to run, and just as he opened his interface to send a message to others in the group, a Crossbow Bolt pierced through his body, and he was shot dead on the spot.

Seeing that things were exposed, Zhao Yuxin simply stopped pretending, grabbed a weapon, and cooperated with Zhu Zhiquan to kill all the underlings.

After a simple cleanup of the battlefield, Zhao Yuxin drove the Tricycle and took Zhu Zhiquan and the Ice Cream Cactus away from the scene.

When Zhu Zhiquan and the others were dealing with the battlefield, all the Black Scorpion Group players already knew that one team had been wiped out, and they gathered toward the direction of Zhu Zhiquan and the others one after another.

Coupled with the fact that the v4 Tricycle engine was very loud and could be heard by other players, this meant that even if Zhu Zhiquan cleared out the Black Scorpion Group players who came, other Black Scorpion Group players could quickly catch up.

"Oh my goodness, I just wanted to create a new plant, how did this kind of thing happen!" Zhao Yuxin complained while driving.

But soon, Zhao Yuxin accidentally drove the Tricycle into a dead end, and the sound of the Black Scorpion Group players' Tricycles grew closer and closer, and they could catch up at any time.

Zhu Zhiquan buried a shi Fanbubing Dilai not far behind, then said to Zhao Yuxin, "Azhao, you just focus on researching the new plant, I'll drive, and Ice Cream Cactus, you go dig the dirt."

"Hmm~" The Ice Cream Cactus let out a sound and picked up a shovel to dig dirt in front.

After Zhao Yuxin got out of the vehicle, she gripped Zhu Zhiquan's hand and said, "Don't be reckless, you hear me? I've already made one Green Bean Ice Cream Shooter, I'll research the new plant later, let's try our best to shake them off."

Boom!

At this moment, the shi Fanbubing Dilai suddenly exploded, making the entire Huoshan Migong tremble again, and it also blasted the corridor behind Zhu Zhiquan and the others into collapse.

Stones or dust also fell from above their heads from time to time, but fortunately, the impact of the explosion was not enough to bury them completely.

The only bad news was that the close-range explosion and the sound of the collapse made Zhao Yuxin's ears ache, and the Ice Cream Cactus dug the dirt desperately with its shovel, hoping to escape the predicament soon.

On the other side, the Black Scorpion Group players waited quietly in front of the collapsed corridor.

"What's going on!?" The Black Scorpion Group Regiment Leader arrived at the front of the team, looking somewhat displeased.

An underling stepped forward to report, "Regiment Leader, the corridor ahead has been collapsed by an explosion, and according to the reports from the brothers who were at the very front, they have already entered a dead end."

The Black Scorpion Group Regiment Leader rubbed his chin, seemingly in thought, when an underling suggested, "Regiment Leader, think about it, this explosion collapsed an entire corridor, maybe they are already dead, why don't we go back...?"

At this, the Black Scorpion Group Regiment Leader glared at the underling, and at the same time, his body transformed into a black humanoid scorpion. This made the underling retreat in fear, and he immediately apologized, "Regi... Regiment Leader, I'm sorry~ It was my rashness, I... ah~"

The Black Scorpion Group Regiment Leader used his massive pincers to crush the underling's head, then ordered, "Everyone, dig this corridor open for me! I want to see the person if they're alive, and the corpse if they're dead!"

"Understood!" All the Black Scorpion Group members began to act, attempting to dig the corridor open, and some even held shovels and dug continuously.

By the time they dug a path open, they discovered that Zhu Zhiquan and the others had already dug a path through the wall of the dead end and escaped; the Black Scorpion Group Regiment Leader angrily ordered a pursuit, but as the underling at the very front drove his vehicle to the gap they had dug, another explosion occurred.
