Chapter 189: A Family of Four
Lin Yaoyao's big eyes were full of confusion.
"In the sewers? Aren't sewers full of zombies and monsters? Why is there a Carl's store there?"
Li Chuan figured out what was going on after a little thought, and sneered disdainfully.
"Haha, why else could it be? Of course they threw it in."
Lin Yaoyao widened her eyes.
The red-haired thorn nodded quickly.
"That's right! Big Brother Devil is right."
Lin Yaoyao was even more surprised.
"Did you really throw it? Brother Chuan, how did you know?"
Li Chuan sighed, raised his head, and looked meaningfully at the place above his head.
"Let's get out of here first and let him explain it to you while we go."
After Li Chuan finished speaking, he disappeared from the spot with a whoosh.
Lin Yaoyao glanced out the window, then jumped down without hesitation with her red hair spikes.
"what--"
The red-haired creature couldn't help but scream miserably.
……
On the tenth floor of Building 77, at least thirty players were lying in ambush on both sides of the dark staircase. Those on the inside were holding melee weapons, while those on the outside were holding longbows and short crossbows, all looking extremely alert.
A blind man sitting in a wheelchair with all his limbs cut off spoke slowly.
"No need to wait, Li Chuan has no plans to come up and has already left."
At the back of the crowd, a man with a crew cut and wearing armor sighed in disappointment.
"It's a shame to waste such a great opportunity that was right at his fingertips, but if he doesn't plan to come up, what's the purpose of coming here? Strange."
"Master Kong, did you leave an 'Observation Mark' on him?"
The miserable-looking man in the wheelchair nodded slowly.
"Stayed."
The man with a crew cut nodded.
"Keep sensing his location and report any developments to me! Xiaoqi, send Master Kong to rest."
"Okay, President."
The short assassin pushed the wheelchair and disappeared down the corridor.
A charming woman with an alluring appearance came up to the man with a crew cut and spoke softly.
"Brother, we're only one floor away, so close. Why should we wait for Li Chuan to come up? Why not just go down and hunt them both?"
The man with a crew cut frowned as he looked at the woman approaching him. There was a hint of desire in his eyes, but he concealed it well.
"Hunting? As early as the second competitive mission, his strength ranked second among over 7,500 players. He's also a highly mobile assassin with multiple teleportation skills. Who can stop him if we don't use a large number of control skills to control him in advance?"
"Yueyue is not here, and we clearly have the upper hand in the current situation. There's no need to confront him head-on. If he accidentally hurts us, we'll actually be at a disadvantage."
The charming woman placed her slender fingers on the man's hard chest.
"Big brother is right. I was shortsighted. Vice President Yueyue is not here right now. How about letting me serve you for a while?"
"Shut up! Keep your voice down! There are many people in the guild who are loyal to Wu Yue. Do you want to become like Master Kong, a half-human, half-ghost?"
"I don't dare. I know I'm wrong."
"That's good to know. Go and get those two Illuminati players out of jail. Prepare all the torture instruments. I want to get more information about Li Chuan."
……
The weather was gloomy, with dark clouds rolling in, as if heavy rain would fall at any moment.
Two figures shuttled quickly through the city ruins like two black lines.
"Brother, we're going in the wrong direction. The sewer to Carl's store is in the East City District, and the direction you're going is the North City District. That's the wrong direction."
Li Chuan said without turning his head.
"Let's leave it there for now, Carl's store. It won't get lost. Let's go do something else first."
Lin Yaoyao was holding the red-haired spike, but she was still able to move forward side by side with Li Chuan.
"Who was the villain who came up with the idea of dumping Carl's store into the sewer? Would people in other city ruins do the same?"
The red-haired thorn was afraid that the girl would transfer her hatred to herself.
"Yes, everyone does that. Everyone does that."
Just now on the way, Red-haired Spike told Lin Yaoyao the reason why Carl's store was thrown into the sewer.
It's simple to say, it's a pure act of harming others for personal gain.
Although some food can be grown on the rooftops of the Wancheng ruins and there is occasionally some edible water rat meat in the sewers, it is not enough to feed the indigenous people in the ruins. Therefore, most of the food sources still have to be exchanged from Carl's store.
The major gangs took advantage of this feature and collected and supervised the Carl stores that would appear from time to time somewhere in the city ruins. If someone wanted to use the Carl, in addition to the Carl needed by the Carl store, they had to hand over a portion of the Carl to the gang as management fees.
But it’s not good to have too many of these things. Firstly, it’s inconvenient to move them, and secondly, it will increase the difficulty of guarding them.
They couldn't just throw it away, because if they did, no one would come to spend the Karls. They couldn't destroy it either, so the big gangs found ways to hide the excess Karls.
The sewer in East City District is where the Skyfire Gang hides Carl's store. Apart from the old gang leader and Spike, only a few Skyfire Gang cadres know about that location.
The red-haired Spiky, who had never moved so fast before, replied weakly.
"Every force here does this, but not all of them hide in the sewers. Some hide in other hidden corners."
Lin Yaoyao was about to say something when she suddenly saw Li Chuan, who was running in front of her, stopped.
"What's wrong, Brother Chuan?"
Li Chuan turned around, pulled Lin Yaoyao and disappeared from the spot, and then appeared in the shadow of the street corner.
"Hush, there's someone there!"
Li Chuan's hunter sense detected several people walking out of the building in front.
Lin Yaoyao quickly covered her mouth and used a fierce look to signal Red Haired Thorn not to make a sound.
About a minute later, three figures carefully climbed out of the first-floor window of the building in front, and then bent over skillfully and swiftly as they shuttled through the street.
Li Chuan and Lin Yaoyao looked at each other, and there was a strange look in their eyes.
There were three figures, two large and one small. In the front was a woman with tentacles, at the back was a man with a tortoise-shell-like shell, and in the middle was a little boy about ten years old with both a shell and tentacles.
What surprised Li Chuan and the others was that it was the first time they saw children in the game world.
"so cute."
Lin Yaoyao couldn't help but sigh out loud.
Li Chuan rolled his eyes silently.
These three people were extremely dirty and ragged, and the boy was holding a bloody rat in his hand. How could they be cute? How could they be cute?
[Shield: Blue]
[HP: 40000/40000]
[LV37, mutated human exposed to radiation, weaknesses marked.]
That man was the strongest of the three, but he was just a weak blue-grade guy.
Seeing that the three people were about to rush over, Li Chuan immediately pulled Lin Yaoyao and flashed to another hidden place again.
But before leaving, Lin Yaoyao threw two boxes of bread on the ground.
"Well...as a reward for that little one being so adorable."
The three figures were extremely surprised after picking up the bread. After dancing for a while, they picked up the bread, left there at a faster speed, and disappeared into the street.
Li Chuan asked in a flat tone.
"They, aren't members of your Skyfire Gang?"
