“Stay vigilant!” Chen Xiaolian was the first to ju to the front as his waist arced into a forward stooped position and he surveyed the surroundings for a moment Next, Lun Tai and Bei Tai juirls cae…” Lun Tai frowned as he looked around The convenience store and shopping areas were ens of life The empty atmosphere of the rest stop was re that soht,” Chen Xiaolian knitted his eyebrows
“Maybe, this is due to the chaotic situation in Tokyo That is why everyone within this rest stop had run off?” Lun Tai too, was frowning
“First, refill the gas!” Chen Xiaolianthe gas Lun Tai, Bei Tai, you two are responsible for checking out the area”
“We need soo find soether”
“Good”
Chen Xiaolian watched Xia Xiaolei step down froot down the bus, he leaned on the door and started puking
“What is wrong?”
“Guild Leader, did you forget… I have blood phobia,” Tears and snot flowed out in the vos wobbled “When you all were killing thosealone caused uilt “A He sihed “No, co”
Xia Xiaolei appeared to be feeling better as he followed Chen Xiaolian His heart was concerned with how insignificant his presence ithin the tea the battle, he was of no help to anyone He orth even less than a girl
Chen Xiaolian understood Xia Xialei’s feelings and he quickly found so to the shopping area to see if there is anything we could use,” Chen Xiaolian glanced at Qiao Qiao, Soo Soo and Takeuchi Mikiko “Don’t ht? In her level of danger”
“We know,” Qiao Qiao s Soo Soo and Takeuchi Mikiko withthat, the three feas station Chen Xiaolian did not stop the toward the washroo area”
Chen Xiaolian patted Xia Xiaolei on his shoulder

The high way rest stop in Japan was not too different compared to those in China, it sported soht of a Starbucks outlet Unfortunately, there were no staff e area was e machine With what Japanese yen he had left on hiht several sushis Then, he athered up so a basket to hold the items
On the other side, Lun Tai entered a convenience store, his rifle ai around, he found nothing of note and was able to relax soarettes fro a drag, he sighed “Japanese cigarettes are too light, it doesn’t give any taste at all”
Bei Tai had brought some beers with him
The two of them then headed out of the convenience store and observed the distant resting area There, Chen Xiaolian was picking up food froestured to each other, nal
Lun Tai sat on the steps of the convenience store and silently sht fell on his face
Beside him, Bei Tai opened up a can of beer and handed it over to hih
“The weather is pretty good,” Lun Tai puffed the cigarette continuously and suddenly let out a bitter laugh “Even I aand drinking while sunbathing”
Roddy, as refuelling the bus far away, caught sight of theuys sure have balls, sas station!”
“Do you smoke?” Lun Tai looked at Roddy
“Give arette fro, refuelling will take soas station, Nicole had found a barrel fro an autoas
The three males sat there as they looked at Nicole Lun Tai abruptly asked “Roddy, do you still like that girl?”
Roddy’s face appeared slightly aard “Err…”
“If you love her, then you love her There is nothing to be hesitant about,” Lun Tai’s face was indifferent as he spoke “For people like us who have been sucked into this world, there is no telling if today is the day ill die in this ga refreshed, ill still forget everything connected to this ga Enjoy each day and do not leave any regrets”
“Hh I fear that you will have to suffer in the future,” Bei Tai sniggered
As he was talking, Nicole turned her head to look at thee equip over She walked until she was before the three of the at Lun Tai, she said “Give arette to her
Nicole sht it and lit it up with a smooth series of actions
“You s accustouns and rain of bullets and the acts of killings, its only natural for me to pick up some habits,” Nicole said indifferently “My father sht Your Floater…” Roddy asked
“There are threeprocess ends,” Nicole checked the tiical skills use Floater?” Roddy was feeling curious His skill was ‘Mechanical Heart’; thus, he was very interested in thisa Floater… is it very difficult?”
“Very difficult,” Nicole pondered about it “Only within soeon will you have the chance to acquire it There is also the Exchange Systee require points alone would not do There are also some special material procurement and quests that needs to be coh the Exchange Systeave a faint se Systee the topic “You are a Mech pilot So, what kind of Mechs do you nor just the I-Model Sentinel, right?”
“That is a staple ht-type, small-scaled Mech It will only be used within Zero City When doing battle on the outside, no one would choose to use it,” Nicole slowly said “I haveit out withto the Security Tea out, those people from Thorned Flower Guild would not be able to ambush me”
Bei Tai tossed a can of beer towards Nicole, who accepted it She then opened it and took a sip
Roddy however, shook his head and rejected the beer Bei Tai handed over “I still need to drive”
“What are you afraid of? There is no one here to check if you are drunk driving,” Bei Tai smirked
Roddy shook his head “It is better for me to be careful Our quest is critical”
…
Chen Xiaolian and Xia Xiaolei both held on to a bag full of food each as they walked out of the store Xia Xiaolei already had a sushi stuffed into his usto For the past two days, they have not been able to partake in a decent ht, they had to make do with bread and biscuits Now that he was able to stuff himself with the sushi rolls, Xia Xiaolei could not help hi the rice “I feel as though it’s been days since I have eaten anything”
As he spoke, Xia Xiaolei took the lead while Chen Xiaolian moved behind him Suddenly, Chen Xiaolian heard a faint sound
Pa!
It was an extre attentively, they would not have caught it Chen Xiaolian however, has had his body enhanced After his physical attributes was enhanced, both his eyes and ears have also becoinated from beneath Xia Xiaolei’s foot!
“Stop! Don’t move!” Chen Xiaolian’s face abruptly fell and he held out one hand to press down on Xia Xiaolei’s shoulder
Xia Xiaolei was shocked “Brother Xiaolian?”
“Don’t rim and he quickly bent down to check
Then, Chen Xiaolian’s heart gave a pound!
The floor tile beneath Xia Xiaolei’s foot seehtly rapping on it, Chen Xiaolian found that it was issuing a hollow sound
Cold sweat seeped out from his forehead! Chen Xiaolian took a deep breath and said “Xiaolei, do notin that spot and do not move it! Slowly lower your body and squat down!”
After saying that, Chen Xiaolian pulled back his MP5’s bolt and he quickly crouched down His eyes swept the area as fast as lightning and he shouted “Lun Tai!”
…
The few of them ere seated by the door of the convenience store heard Chen Xiaolian’s shout Noticing soarettes and beer cans, juilant!” Lun Tai quickly howled out and they spread out Then, they spotted Chen Xiaolian and Xia Xiaolei squatting down before the doors of the distant resting area Chen Xiaolian iround, placing it before his body to act as cover
“You all stay put Keep an eye on the surroundings! I will go check it out”
Lun Tai stayed close to the walls and crouched his body as he ran forward In one breath of tied to reach Chen Xiaolian’s side He quickly took cover behind one of the store’s cabinets “What is going on?”
“I do not know if I a!” Chen Xiaolian said with a sole area, Qiao Qiao, Soo Soo and Takeuchi Mikikotheet back!”
Qiao Qiao’s face fell i, she used her hands to pull Soo Soo and the Japanese girl back through the door of the washrooun and peeked out half her head “What is going on?”
“Get back! Do not coer as he crouched down by Xia Xiaolei’s foot Carefully and slowly, he cut open the edge of the tile, creating a sh the hole, Lun Tai’s expression turned ugly
“Son of a bitch! Someone set up a trap! This is an anti-infantryout the botto it with the tile Appearance wise, it seemed normal But, once you step on it…” As he spoke, Lun Tai raised his head to see the pale-faced Xia Xiaolei “Buddy, don’t panic Don’t move about carelessly I will try to disable it”
“En!” Xia Xiaolei nodded his head vigorously It was clear that he was feeling afraid, but he only bit down hard on his teeth
Chen Xiaolian’s face was distorted as he carefully searched around However, his eyes could see nothing out of the ordinary
The distant Bei Tai, Nicole and Roddy had also gestured to the Chen Xiaolian quicklyout in two different directions as they continued searching
A few moments later, the two of them ran back from the two sides of the rest stop They shook their heads, nothing was found
Chen Xiaolian became puzzled
At that moer, leaving only the small piece of pressure sensor
Lun Tai examined theit will be troublesome… why don’t we ask Roddy to come over Doesn’t he have the ability to controlhis waist and stooping forward, Roddy ran over As he approached, he threw hiround “What’s up?”
“Look!” Chen Xiaolian pointed at Xia Xiaolei’s feet
Roddy glanced at it and his face distorted “Someone planted a trap? But, we have checked everywhere There is no one here”
“First, disable this thing!” Chen Xiaolian gritted his teeth “However, disabling it would be too risky Try using your ability”
Roddy extended two fingers to touch the mine A few seconds later, he raised his head to look at Xia Xiaolei “There is a method”
“What do you mean?”
“There is a pressure sensor inside If you loosen your feet and the pressure dissipates, it will explode However, I can control it and delay it for several seconds Lun Tai, helpit over Later, when I say let go, Xia Xiaolei, you o! Then, Lun Tai, you must quickly put that heavy ites before pulling out a beer keg from a nearby container “We can use this Let’s do this!”
“I will count to three Xiaolei, do not panic Relax, I can delay this thing for quite some time, even ten seconds would not be a problem However, it is better to be safe You had better move quickly,” Roddy deliberately smiled to comfort Xia Xiaolei
“Just count, brother! Let’s do this fast,numb”
“One, two… THREE!”
Xiaolei quickly pulled back his leg while Chen Xiaolian behind him quickly pulled him back by two steps At the sa to press down on it
“Done!”
Roddy breathed a sigh of relief as he determined that the pressure sensor’s detonation sequence was not triggered
“It’s best if we do not move about recklessly!” Lun Tai’s face sank “Hell knows if the other tilesto set us up? How is it even possible? How could there be other participants before us? We should be the first to find the quest target for protection!”
At that instant, a sharp screa out from the washrooirl?” Roddy was quick to speak out
Chen Xiaolian’s response was the fastest He ignore all else and charged forith a stooping forward posture Lun Tai as behind hinored it Chen Xiaolian stayed close to the wall as he ran toward the washroon placed on the washrooht was for females
Chen Xiaolian burst into the fe there in perfect condition His heart gave a sigh of relief Then, he saw Takeuchi Mikiko crouching before a toilet cubicle, her face revealing terror and she screa to comfort her
“What happened?” Chen Xiaolian quickly moved over
“Look!” Qiao Qiao pointed at the innermost cubicle Its door was left open
…
Within the toilet cubicle was a corpse
More accurately, it was half a corpse!
It was a wo upper body, which earing a protective vest Clearly, she was a participant of this game However, it was unknown if she was a Player or an Awakened
Her upper body remained intact However, from her abdomen doard… the rest of her body had disappeared!
The area below the waist appeared to have been dissolved by soht that he had iined The disconnected part rese burned by intense te at it now, the part looked like a piece of hard plastic
Next to her body was a weapon, a dogleg knife Judging froood weapon Chen Xiaolian stepped inside and picked up the weapon Exa it, he found it to be a [B] Class weapon He then threw it toward Qiao Qiao “Take it”
The corpse was too strange
After exa it for a moment, Chen Xiaolian was still unable to find any clues He then closed the door
“What happened?” Chen Xiaolian asked Qiao Qiao
Qiao Qiao exhaled and fought back the urge to vomit Then, she replied “Earlier e entered this washroom, we did not realize this… this was the innermost cubicle So, we did not discover it back e first entered Back then, you told us to go back Takeuchi Mikiko retreated to the innerly opened the door to discover that”
“Nothing else happened? Did you see anything else?”
“No,” Qiao Qiao shook her head with certainty
The washroom was a closed off area without any s There was only theand a very small ventilation duct above their heads
Chen Xiaolian’s face suddenly tensed as he stared at the ventilation duct He signalled to Qiao Qiao and she too, tensed up Withoutany noise, she led Takeuchi Mikiko toward the door while holding onto Soo Soo as they retreated
Chen Xiaolian pulled the bolt of his gun and pointed the muzzle at the ventilation duct up above At the sa a deep breath, he shouted out “Co happened
Chen Xiaolian sneered He raised Bone Crusher Axe and hacked down heavily onto the ventilation up above!
With a “ka”, a hole appeared on the ceiling
At the saasp came from within the ventilation duct!
“If you still do not conalled to Qiao Qiao with his eyes Qiao Qiao then raised her gun at the ventilation duct
“I will count to three! One! Two!”
“Don’t! Don’t shoot! I arille of the duct was opened and a slender arirl More accurately, it was a rather young girl, whose age was probably the sa a vest-type of protective suit One look was enough to tell that it was a low-class ite onto any weapons When she jumped down from above and stood up, Chen Xiaolian was soirl was very short and thin, shorter than Chen Xiaolian by a head Only someone with such a small body would be able to crawl into the ventilations ducts
Despite her tender age, her head was left bald and her nose earing a nose ring On the exposed part of her neck was a fire shaped tattoo Thick smoky makeup was applied on to both her eyes However, it see and her ot the impression that she was one of those feround, she obediently raised up her hands, her face displaying fear
“Don’t htly due to her looks and age Instead, his gun reirl’s head “Walk over here on your own! I want to see your hands at all ti that was out of line and she cautiously walked forward Then, she knelt down on her own initiative, placing both hands on her head
Qiao Qiao did not move out to search her – for participants, be it Players or Awakened ones, they could keep their weapons inside the system
However, Chen Xiaolian retrieved a pair of handcuffs fro the items that Nicole had robbed fro the bald girl did Chen Xiaolian direct the aze never left the girl’s hands “Get out! You go first!”
“No… outside, outside is too dangerous!” The bald girl’s voice was very childlike
