Chapter 38

"So it's just an entry point!!" Greyaz gazed far into the distance at the smoking entry point and sighed deeply. Well, it's just a disturbance, not a large-scale riot, so it should be fine.

Zheng Chen easily came in...

"Should we register locally... uh." Greyaz immediately realized he had said something wrong. Zheng Chen was currently wanted, how could he possibly register?

Scratching his head, he looked in surprise at Zheng Chen, who was squatting with a squirrel by his feet.

"It's very cute." Lei squatted down and gently stroked the squirrel by Zheng Chen's feet. The squirrel wasn't afraid of strangers and let her pet it gently.

"It's a Shapman squirrel, a very distinctive local product, a very smart little animal," Greyaz explained. "If you like, you can go to the nearby area, there should be a place specifically managing them."

There were many squirrels around. This one probably stopped out of curiosity about the newcomers. It didn't stay long and then scampered down the road, skillfully avoiding the footsteps of passersby and carriages.

"You guys go check it out, I'll go around the area and meet back at the inn later." Zheng Chen tossed a remote control to Lassadi and said indifferently, making Greyaz look very sad. This is still not trusting me!

Now, except for going down a dark path, there's no other way out, sigh...

Leaving the group, Zheng Chen needed to gather some supplies, first he had to find the nearby underground black market.

When Zheng Chen returned to the inn, it was already very late. Greyaz was yawning and rubbing his eyes in the living room, with a squirrel jumping around. Even though its legs seemed a bit inconvenient, its spirit was very good.

This squirrel was encountered in a store during the day. Due to its congenital leg issues, it was to be disposed of. He noticed Lei's sympathy and without a word, bought it. The store owner, knowing the squirrel was to be disposed of, agreed without hesitation.

"Go rest, we'll travel tomorrow."

Greyaz nodded a bit helplessly. Night watch was always Zheng Chen's responsibility, not because they were lazy, but because Zheng Chen took the initiative to do it. The reason was simple: he didn't trust them to do it...

The next morning, Lassadi, who woke up the earliest, was stunned when she saw a squirrel squatting on Zheng Chen's head. Hearing footsteps, the squirrel's ears twitched, and it quickly jumped down and started gnawing on a nut on the table.

"You two get along well."

Zheng Chen caught the squirrel that had jumped onto his leg and put it aside, "It's very hardworking."

It seemed that due to its congenital issues, this squirrel showed a high level of intelligence. Last night, when Zheng Chen tried giving it some commands, it could execute them accurately...

Understanding human speech was already quite remarkable.

As for its leg issues, it seemed the bones were a bit misaligned.

After the others gradually woke up and rested, Zheng Chen prepared to leave. Overnight, the area was plastered with wanted posters... The reason was still Zheng Chen, the illegal entrant. For this, Zheng Chen was indifferent; he already had enough, so a few more wouldn't make much difference.

He was still fine, wasn't he?

Another reason for Zheng Chen to leave quickly was that last night, he encountered a corpse. From the body's features, it was undoubtedly a young girl, but she had a nuclear stone... different from the lustrous nuclear stones of the Holy War Angels.

It was easy to distinguish the difference. She was also a manufactured Holy War Angel, but her death was quite gruesome, her head crushed, making it impossible to tell what she looked like in life. She had just died, and as soon as Zheng Chen confirmed it, the body strangely turned to sand and disappeared.

The strange phenomenon after the death of a manufactured Holy War Angel... leaving no trace at all.

With the appearance of a manufactured Holy War Angel, regardless of whether it was related to their situation, Zheng Chen didn't plan to stay here long.

There was another troublesome factor: players!

These beings had already spread throughout the continent, and it was hard to tell if they were exposed or not!

If it weren't for some habits of players not being fully corrected, it would be hard to detect them. With more time, once players fully adapted to the world, it would be even harder to distinguish between real and fake.

They were more troublesome than the natives, with their instant information exchange, which was almost cheating. The natives didn't have a 'game forum' platform. To put it bluntly, once he appeared in the players' eyes, his whereabouts were already exposed.

For example, in reality, an enraged man hired a hitman to kill a target, but the native solved it instead, even affecting the Protection Association's attitude towards players...

Yes, good cannon fodder, but not very disciplined.

This was another slap in the face for Hong Tao. What did he say back then? There are a hundred ways to make this native not survive!

But the person is still alive and well.

After learning Zheng Chen's whereabouts from the forum, he was helpless. The person had already fled to another continent, and it would be hard to find trouble for a while. He could only sulk and think about how to get back at him later.

Damn, just a game 'NPC,' I can't kill you!

"Looks like we can't take the train directly to Longfei." Lassadi looked at Zheng Chen, who was teasing the squirrel with a cat teaser, feeling a bit out of place.

"We can split up."

"Um, forget it, we're not in a hurry, let's treat it as a special trip." After hesitating, Lassadi shook her head, "Let's go find a tour guide book first and see if there's a quick way out of here."

In a forest, Zheng Chen silently looked at the cable car that was already in ruins. This was the fastest way out according to the tour guide book, but that was six years ago!

"Um, I can't do anything about this." Greyaz scratched his head. Singing was no problem for him, but fixing things, ha! As for Kokowit... when not fighting, she was responsible for being cute and affectionate.

"I can take on ten in a fight!" Lassadi said confidently, clenching her fists.

Zheng Chen ignored her. It wasn't about whether she could fight or not; who could fix this?

"Find someone to fix it."

"Eh? Who would come to such a remote place?"

"It doesn't matter whether they want to or not."

Regardless of their willingness, the technician who was forcibly brought over looked helplessly at the young man beside him. How to put it, it felt quite helpless. He thought he was being kidnapped for ransom, but it turned out to be to fix a cable car that should have been replaced years ago?

If he remembered correctly, this should have been replaced years ago, but with the new route, the maintenance plan was put on hold, and it had been abandoned until now. "I can fix it, but I don't have the replacement parts."

The uncle, who was kidnapped by Zheng Chen, flipped through his tool bag and said helplessly.

"Whatever is missing, I'll provide."

He was then stunned to see that all the missing parts were brought over. The young man's hands seemed to have some magic, and the broken parts miraculously softened and reshaped into new ones.

"…This is truly incredible." With the missing parts and Zheng Chen's help, the cable car was repaired in just half a day. Although it couldn't run for long, it could be used a few times.

"Phew, this is the limit. After all, this cable car is too old." The uncle wiped the sweat from his forehead, the initial unease long gone. These people didn't seem to be violent, and violent people wouldn't have such a combination, right?

They were just a bit aggressive. If he had known there was money, he would have come directly, no need for such a drastic method.

In any case, the uncle, who did the job for the money, left quite satisfied. He scratched his head in confusion, thinking the young man who forcibly brought him here seemed familiar?

He couldn't think of where he had seen him, so he didn't think about it.

Looking at the darkening sky, it wasn't a good time to travel, so they decided to rest in the nearby small wooden house for the night.

"What is this?"

Taking the paper ball from the squirrel's mouth, Zheng Chen opened it, read it, and then threw it into the fire, making Greyaz and Lassadi, who were curious, stiffen. Hey, no need to do that!

"Rest well tonight, there will be trouble tomorrow."

"What was that?" Greyaz asked, a bit puzzled.

"A challenge letter." Zheng Chen replied indifferently.

It was delivered by Phiro, and the content was similar to a declaration of war. The time was tomorrow, the location unknown, but it was clear that it would be a final confrontation with Zheng Chen's group. The number of enemies, though not revealed, could be guessed to be not small.

"Who's it from?"

"Phiro."

"…Tch, is there some kind of plot, like making us constantly on guard, wearing us down?"

"I'll keep watch, you all sleep!"

"That makes me feel uneasy."

Now, making them rest well, are they going to be sent to the front lines later?

"You'll lead the charge tomorrow."

"Cough, boss, I think you should consider the bond issue more. Otherwise, I don't think we can reach the Edel Garden." Greyaz hesitated for a moment and said, "Even if we split up later, if we can't reach the destination, it's meaningless, right?"
