1054: Chapter 1054: Interdiary
In the center of the smoke, a reasonably large Defense Prop appeared, looking like a cargo container.
Even though it had just been hit by a cannonball, it bore no marks.
As the Player with braids called others to look, the door of the Defense Prop opened and a figure flashed by.
The next second, three explosions were heard coming from the direction of the incoming cannonballs, and as the flas fell, the Player with braids and the others realized that the aircraft had been destroyed!
Zhou Yuanzhu and others quickly retreated.
She said, “No wonder we didn’t notice from so close, the opponent must be strong.
Let’s hurry while they are fighting!”
Of course, they had to leave, but soone was tempted by the Prop left far behind, especially when they saw two ordinary people inside.
Chi Minghong had already co out of the door, blocking the incoming Swords with his hand, and then slamd the door shut, “This old lady is up for a fight today!”
Both sides started fighting, and Xu Huo’s side caused a noticeably larger commotion.
In the forest, he had two advantages: one, the enemy’s aircraft could not smoothly navigate through the woods and entering would actually slow down the Players; secondly, the location was a forest.
The Players who arrived were dressed in governnt clothes, and it was unknown if they ca with Zhou Yuanzhu’s group, but the number of people was a bit troubleso.
“Ding!” Along with a crisp tallic sound, a burst of flas erupted from a tree nearby, followed by a second and a third.
The striking sounds continuously echoed in the forest, and more and more fire ignited from various places, soon forming a barrier!
The flas ford an isolation belt, which could only slightly delay the governnt Players.
Given the technology level of District 002, even without using Props, the protective suits equipped by the Players were enough to resist such a fire, but the forest was next to Snow City, and if the fire escalated, it would be troubleso.
Not only was the fire an issue, but these burning trees would release a strange sll.
Although not toxic, the intense odor was enough to cause physical discomfort.
Xu Huo wasn’t really planning to burn down the entire forest.
Seeing the situation was about enough, he withdrew.
The interference from the Spatial Teleportation Device seed to have loosened, and he used “Towards the Destination” to return to the shelter, subsequently kicking away a Player attempting to sneak attack Chi Minghong from behind.
Chi Minghong repelled the person in front of her, then turned around and asked, “What’s the situation outside?”
“It’s the governnt’s people, not sure if they are called by the Dong Family.” Xu Huo collected the Prop, “But we can’t stay here, let’s leave.”
“Where should we go now?” Chi Minghong said, “Why not leave Snow City?
It looks like District 002 won’t withdraw defense soon, and it’s hard to hide with people around us.”
“I know a safe place!” Zhou Yuanzhu called from not far, “If you trust , follow !”
“Strangers when we t, I even fixed your nails for you.
It’s a bit hard asking us to trust you just like that,” Chi Minghong said.
“Exactly because we are strangers, with no past grievances or recent disputes, I have no reason to go through painstaking efforts to harm you all,” Zhou Yuanzhu glanced at the nearby woman and child, “You’re fleeing and even taking a woman and child with you, so you shouldn’t be really bad people.
Helping out as much as I can, as a Player, I still have that much conscience.”
“Let’s go with her,” Xu Huo told Chi Minghong, then picked up the boy.
Indeed, there was no better place to hide, and Chi Minghong had no choice but to follow.
Zhou Yuanzhu moved quickly, leading them through the forest to an abandoned cabin, commonly used by hunters for rest.
However, it had been a long ti since anyone visited this part of the forest, so the house was dilapidated.
Zhou Yuanzhu went straight in, pushed aside a chair in the middle of the room, and opened several floorboards to reveal a square tal object buried beneath.
“This is an underground passageway entrance,” she explained.
“District 002 has many such underground passageways ant for shady dealings, and through this simple teleporter, we can be transported to an underground passage hundreds of ters away.”
“This kind of Prop can only be used with a specific soil structure, a one-to-one match, and can’t be used elsewhere.
Luckily, one is nearby, and we can return to Snow City through the underground passage.
The most dangerous place is the safest, the governnt agency would never think we’d go back.”
Xu Huo and Chi Minghong exchanged glances, and the latter said, “You aren’t new here, are you?
Otherwise, how would you know about this passage?
Where does this passage really lead?”
“Why would I need to lie?” Zhou Yuanzhu said, “You can now check this kind of Transport Prop beneath the dinsion, its maximum range is just a few hundred ters, mainly transporting downwards instead of on a plane.
Given the current situation, going underground is safest.”
“I got this underground info at a high price, the governnt agency probably doesn’t know about this route.”
Chi Minghong checked the information on the spot, then nodded to Xu Huo, who agreed to take the teleportation passage without saying much.
But at that mont, the boy moved behind him and wrote “Lying” on his back.
Xu Huo of course knew Zhou Yuanzhu was lying, but he was very interested in the information she had about the history of the Holy Sword Society and Dr.
Wu, particularly concerning Dr.
Wu, and it was worth the risk.
The child’s protest was ineffective; Xu Huo carried him and followed Zhou Yuanzhu.
Through the teleportation array, they indeed arrived at a not so sanitary underground passage, likely a disused underground water pipe, pervaded with a stale sll.
However, with so attention, it was evident that they were not the only visitors of this passage.
“We should keep quieter as we move up, the exit from this pipe leads to a residential area, where there are Players guarding day and night,” Zhou Yuanzhu led the way, frequently turning back to remind them.
Chi Minghong patted her back, “Proceed with confidence, we won’t play tricks on you, we are also counting on you to find a good place for us to rest.”
Despite her mind being read, Zhou Yuanzhu didn’t care, she just nodded and kept leading the way.
The exit led to an underground garbage path, where she pushed aside the cart and garbage placed below, waiting for the garbage above to fall and clear the passage before climbing up using the Prop.
“It’s been a long while since I’ve used such a primitive escape thod,” Chi Minghong remarked.
Zhou Yuanzhu chuckled lightly, “At this ti, the lower-profile the better.
It’s best not to use any Props, then even if soone discovers us, they might think we are just poor people from outside the city, pushed by city guards to the outskirts and living off picking up garbage below.”
