Chapter 73

Wu Xiaode let out a sigh of relief.

You can't run away now!

"Where is my brother?" Eagle asked, trying to control his emotions.

"Just a moment," the leader said.

She stepped forward and carefully examined Falcon's body, lightly tapping on the chest.

A close-fitting power armor silently appeared.

"It can't be... This is his armor, why didn't it protect him from the monster's attack?" Eagle muttered, dazed.

The armor was there, but the person was not.

Falcon's fate was already clear.

Eagle still refused to accept it and, along with the marksman, read the data from the armor.

In the past twenty minutes, the armor had only generated a few data records—

"Higher authority detected."

"Armor taken over."

"Original owner erased."

"New owner assignment initiated."

Everyone looked at each other, stunned by the records on the armor.

This is a different world.

Why would the power armor encounter a higher authority in this world?

Eagle was almost collapsing, repeatedly saying:

"How can there be a higher authority! This armor cost Falcon a lot of money, why is there a higher authority in this damned different world!"

Wu Xiaode suddenly thought of the Light United Manufacturing Technology Company and the Bone Dragon Child.

"Maybe..." he said.

Everyone looked at him.

"Maybe what? What did you find?" Eagle immediately asked.

"I'm just guessing. Listen, maybe this power armor originally belongs to this world," Wu Xiaode said.

As soon as he finished speaking, there was a loud "bang."

A star appeared above the leader's head.

She looked at Wu Xiaode and nodded gently, saying, "That makes sense."

The others were still skeptical.

For a moment, no one said anything.

The marksman quickly went to drive the train.

He glanced at the predetermined route and quickly changed to a new one.

—Definitely can't follow the route set by that monster!

"From now on, everyone stay alert. Eagle and the marksman will guard the cockpit. If anything happens, shout immediately. Others, be ready to fight. Got it?" the leader said.

"Got it!" everyone replied in unison.

The leader patted Eagle's shoulder to comfort him.

Xiao Baihong hesitated for a moment and then stepped forward to encourage him: "Don't be sad about Falcon. Actually, we might not survive either."

Wu Xiaode, seeing Eagle's expression, quickly pulled Xiao Baihong back and said:

"The only thing we can do is fight—when something happens, I'll be at the front. We'll kill more monsters for your brother."

"Thank you," Eagle said, his mood low.

Wu Xiaode returned to the carriage and fell into deep thought.

—The leader just gave me a star!

What does this prove?

Unless she knows the truth and I guessed it right, she wouldn't have given me a star.

This means two things.

First, the power armor really comes from this world.

Second, the leader knows more secrets.

Wu Xiaode looked at the Book of the Undead, where lines of icy small characters had already appeared:

"Congratulations, you have gained Zhao Zhibing's approval."

"Current approval level: one star."

"The book has resonated with Zhao Zhibing and extracted a skill from her:"

"Rain · Multiple Arrows."

"Please choose to master this skill or sacrifice it to your Silent Mist."

Wu Xiaode touched his forehead.

"How do you know the leader is Zhao Zhibing?" he silently asked.

The Book of the Undead displayed two large characters:

"Soul."

...So it's Zhao Junyu's sister.

All the shadows, masks, human skins, and even the changed voice can fool others and me, but they can't fool the Book of the Undead.

It judges based on the soul.

Thinking about it, everything that happened in the past makes sense.

Wu Xiaode said nothing and directly threw "Rain · Multiple Arrows" to the "Silent Mist."

The Book of the Undead quickly displayed a line of icy small characters:

"Sacrificing..."

"Note:"

"Rain · Multiple Arrows is a skill with considerable power, which can slightly advance the upgrade progress."

"Current progress: 9/10."

"Please continue to work hard to upgrade the Silent Mist to LV1."

Wu Xiaode regretted it a bit at this moment.

Others can only offset 1 point with one skill.

But Zhao Zhibing's skill can offset 3 points!

This Multiple Arrows must be very powerful.

If he had known, he might have learned it to make up for his lack of ranged attacks.

...Forget it.

Only one point away, the Silent Mist can be upgraded.

This is the most important thing.

Wu Xiaode walked through the first carriage and headed to the rear carriages.

"Where are you going?" Xiao Baihong asked.

"To the toilet," Wu Xiaode said.

He didn't stop, walked through this carriage, and continued to the next one.

"Hey, isn't there a restroom between the two carriages? Why are you still running back?" Xiao Baihong asked.

"I need to squat, stay away from you guys!" Wu Xiaode said irritably.

Xiao Baihong looked at the strawberry cake in her hand and shrugged.

Wu Xiaode walked through several carriages, entered a restroom, locked the door, and turned on the faucet to make the water flow.

At this moment, he suddenly thought of someone.

Qian Mingkui.

Old Qian had just awakened his soul power and was the first to come to this different world.

But now this different world is so dangerous.

At least, a group of experts with over 10 soul points are in a sorry state.

What can he do?

Wu Xiaode was a bit worried.

But there's nothing he can do now; the Qian family ancestors won't let him follow.

Wu Xiaode sighed, put away his thoughts, and said softly:

"Add me."

Whoosh—

He disappeared directly from the toilet.

...

On the other side.

This is a city.

When Qian Mingkui was teleported, he appeared right on the main street of the city.

He was wearing an ancient suit of armor, carrying a red-tasseled spear on his back, a short dagger at his waist, and a shoulder bag containing some water and food.

The street flickered continuously.

Several more professionals appeared.

These professionals looked around, their figures flickering, and quickly scattered in all directions, disappearing in a short time.

"Hey, why are you all so heartless? This is a different world..."

Qian Mingkui shouted.

No one responded.

He had to look around cautiously.

Silence.

The ground was covered with corpses.

Not a single living person.

At the end of the street, several cars had crashed together, burning fiercely.

"Killing one monster will get me back..."

Qian Mingkui pulled out the red-tasseled spear and looked around cautiously.

But there was nothing around.

The entire city seemed to be dead, not even a rat could be seen.

Only on the side of a building, a huge snake appeared silently.

The snake slid silently, climbing down from the roof, gradually approaching Qian Mingkui.

On other city streets, the ground was almost entirely covered with black snakes, some of which were over a hundred meters long.

As soon as the professionals left the previous street, they were immediately overwhelmed by the snake swarm waiting around.

They didn't even have time to scream—

The surging sea of snakes quickly returned to calm.

Only Qian Mingkui—

He didn't run around but just looked around in the same spot.

But there was nothing on this street.

He suddenly clapped and laughed:

"Looks like the monsters have all left."

"Scared me to death, I need to drink a can of cola to calm down—"

He leaned the red-tasseled spear against his body, reached into the shoulder bag, and pulled out a can of drink.

Snap!

The drink can opened.

He drank it sip by sip.

The giant snake's colorful scales gradually turned black, and its tens of meters long body slid down the wall, coiling around a lamppost, looking down.

Its deep green eyes stared at Qian Mingkui, motionless.

"Sure enough, I get hungry when I drink something."

"Whatever, let's eat something first, then find a monster to kill."

Qian Mingkui held the drink in one hand and fumbled in the shoulder bag with the other.

Soon, he pulled out a steamed bun with pickled vegetables and started to eat it in large bites.

Above his head—

The giant snake slowly opened its mouth, its head tilting back slightly, and pounced down like lightning.

Crack!

A large chunk of the concrete ground was bitten off, but it didn't bite Qian Mingkui.

The giant snake hissed angrily, flicking its tongue and looking up.

"Ah—Help—"

Qian Mingkui's scream echoed in the sky.

A giant bird tightly grabbed him, issuing a provocative call to the giant snake on the ground, circling a few times, and flew away.

The giant bird's wings spanned five meters, its claws tightly gripping Qian Mingkui, making him unable to move.

After a few minutes, Qian Mingkui stopped screaming.

He had seen the true appearance of the city—

The entire city was a sea of venomous snakes!

"Hey, are you here to save me?"

Qian Mingkui slapped the giant bird's claws, trembling and shouting.

The giant bird's eyes flashed with a hint of mockery, tightening its claws slightly.

Qian Mingkui's armor began to twist.

But the armor was too large, and for a moment, he only felt tight, but wasn't immediately crushed.

At this moment, his attention wasn't on himself.

"Hey! Behind you, behind you!"

He screamed wildly.

The giant bird seemed to understand human language and suddenly turned its head.

A long black shadow appeared in the sky, with short, translucent wings. Each flap sent it forward hundreds of meters.

—It was the snake!

It had wings and was catching up!

The giant bird was shocked, loosened its claws, and Qian Mingkui fell.

But at this moment, neither the giant bird nor the winged snake paid attention to him anymore.

Because their battle was about to begin.

At this moment, whoever was distracted would have a terrible fate!

Splash!

Qian Mingkui fell into the lake.

He struggled to take off the armor, grabbed the red-tasseled spear, and swam to the shore.

After a while.

He finally made it to the shore, lying on the ground, gasping for breath.

Almost drowned!

The armor was too heavy; if he hadn't struggled to take it off, he would have become a water ghost by now.

Qian Mingkui struggled to stand up and noticed something wrapped around his feet.

He looked down and saw a bag.

Inside the bag was a wooden box, and inside the box was a book:

"Secret Manual: Spear Slash Technique."

Qian Mingkui flipped through it, getting more and more excited.

This spear technique was perfect for him!

—But he was still trapped in this different world.

If he could go back, he would definitely practice this martial art.

Just as he thought this, two black shadows appeared in the sky.

Boom! Boom!

The bird and the snake fell into a pile of rocks not far away.

The bird's claws clutched the snake's head, its sharp beak pecking open the snake's skull, while the snake tightly bit the bird's neck, motionless.

Qian Mingkui saw an opportunity and shouted:

"Sir, I'll help you!"

He rushed forward, taking advantage of the giant snake's immobility, and thrust the red-tasseled spear into the snake's brain, stirring it violently.

The giant snake convulsed and stiffened on the ground.

Qian Mingkui threw the red-tasseled spear and rushed to the giant bird, seeing that it was also in bad shape.

—The snake was venomous!

"Don't be afraid! I have ox bile detox pills!"

He fumbled in his shoulder bag but found it had already fallen off somewhere.

A spatial fluctuation came.

Qian Mingkui knew he was going back!

But this bird had saved him from the city of venomous snakes. Could he just watch it die?

"I'll help you!"

He didn't care if the bird wanted it or not, went up, and sucked the wound forcefully.

"Spit!"

"Spit spit spit spit spit spit spit—"

He knew the poison was powerful and quickly spat it out.

The bird, which was about to die, was now being held and sucked by a man, looking confused.

—With a hint of embarrassment.

The next moment.

Whoosh!

Qian Mingkui disappeared.

The giant bird lay on the ground, motionless, waiting to die.

After a while.

It suddenly jumped up and flew to the lake to look at itself.

The wound no longer had the green venom.

The giant bird was shocked.

—Sucked clean?

But the man only sucked once!

How could he be so good!

The giant bird's face suddenly turned red.
