"Awoo..."
The Tank chanical Monster let out a beast-like roar and was about to charge at the group.
Leng Wanbai remained expressionless as Extre Cold Energy shot out from her palm, instantly turning its legs into ice sculptures.
The Tank Monster lost its balance, stumbled, and fell to the ground, letting out an enraged howl.
"Young people these days have no sense of honor..."
Leng Wanbai glanced at the virtual map and pointed ahead to the right, saying, "Let’s go. Soone is waiting for us there."
Qin Shou looked at the Tank Monster sprawled on the ground, pounding the earth in anger, and sighed lightly.
"Poor big tank."
...
The group followed Leng Wanbai through the chanical Ruins, encountering many bizarre-looking chanical Monsters along the way.
There were half-chanical monsters with human torsos but chanical crab legs for lower halves.
There were also chanical freaks reconstructed from human corpses, wielding machine gun weapons with terrifying appearances.
Unidentified chanical Monsters road the ruins, occasionally attacking the weaker chanical creatures.
The most amusing thing was that the old car that had fled earlier returned with a gang of "speed demons," recklessly disturbing the once-dormant chanical creatures.
"Beep beep beep..."
A small horn with wheels buzzed noisily past Qin Shou, who promptly kicked it far away.
"Oh no, I’m done for, dead at..."
The small horn dove headfirst into a small scrapyard, its synthetic chanical voice sounding bizarrely humorous.
Qin Shou was speechless. "How did sothing like this survive here?"
At that mont, a surprised voice ca from a nearby chanical hill.
"Hahaha, hey, Qin Shou, you finally made it..."
Curious, Qin Shou turned around and saw a familiar figure standing atop the chanical hill.
"Fatty Fang?"
His cheeks twitched. "What’s this guy doing here?"
Fang Bao sprinted down from the chanical hill, his excited heart and trembling hands eager to give Qin Shou a big bear hug.
Qin Shou quickly dodged his salty pig hands, thinking, "What kind of conduct is this for two grown n?"
Seeing Qin Shou avoid him, Fang Bao didn’t feel awkward, instead laughing excitedly. "Hahaha, Qin Shou, you’ve co at the perfect ti. This ti, we’re hitting a big score. You six, four..."
Before saying more, Fang Bao caught sight of Leng Wanbai’s cold, indifferent face, and his smile instantly froze.
"Q-Q-Qin Shou, y-you-you and her... what’s going on with you?"
Fang Bao suppressed the dread in his heart, lips trembling as he looked at Qin Shou.
Qin Shou... here... with this Frozen Bone Eater? What the hell?
Oh no, oh no, Qin Shou must’ve been parasitized!
No wonder Qin Shou’s been so cold to lately—it has to be because of the Frozen Bone Eater!
Sigh, such a good guy, and now he’s gone... Who’s going to help bully others now?
Wahaha, what a joyous day.
No, wait, why am I happy about this?
The Spine-eating Gu is terrifying.
Fang Bao’s expression shifted between despair and delight, his internal monologue running wild.
Qin Shou effortlessly saw through what the fatty was thinking.
"Fatty, what are you doing here?" he asked.
Fang Bao stole a covert glance at Leng Wanbai and squeezed out a forced smile on his pale face.
"Haha, my big cousin sent to pick soone up—he said they’re from the Long Family in the Main City."
Qin Shou looked surprised but didn’t have ti to ask before Leng Wanbai walked up coldly.
"Your big cousin is Mark from Fengshen Group?" she asked Fang Bao.
Fang Bao shrank his neck. "That’s right, and he’s also from the Ma Family."
The twelve Guardian Families of the Federation all have different corporate backers.
Leng Wanbai nodded. "Then that’s correct. The people you’re here to pick up are us."
Fang Bao’s mouth twitched. His unreliable big cousin was always so cryptic and didn’t even tell him who he was picking up.
He’d called it a surprise...
Surprise, my foot!
"Let’s go; take to him," Leng Wanbai said.
"Alright, alright, please follow !"
In front of Leng Wanbai, Fang Bao didn’t dare show the slightest hint of defiance.
This Spine-eating Gu was utterly rciless.
As for his lovestruck big cousin these past few days, Fang Bao could only mutter inwardly, "He’s courting disaster..."
...
High up in the sky, Fang Bao donned his Battle Armor and led the group to Fengshen Group’s base.
Qin Shou activated Fang Bao’s communicator inside the Battle Armor and asked.
"Fatty Fang, since your big cousin cos from the Ma Family, one of the Federation Main City’s Twelve Guardian Families, why are you doing so poorly, running off to West City?"
Hearing this, Fang Bao wasn’t sure what Qin Shou’s deal was now and chuckled awkwardly.
"It’s just for my daddy’s work; nothing strange about that."
Qin Shou curled his lip and suddenly asked, "Fatty Fang, when are you planning to pay back for my Storm Red?"
At this, Fang Bao instinctively exclaid, "How do you know... You’re not parasitized?"
Once parasitized by a Spine-eating Gu, humans lose the ability to recall personal mories.
Even if Qin Shou had been parasitized and the Gu had obtained information on him, it wouldn’t know about this little debt.
After all, unless Qin Shou specifically ntioned it, even Fang Bao himself wouldn’t rember that he owed for the cha.
Only soone as petty as Qin Shou would still bother chasing after a cha that’s long past being useful.
Qin Shou’s face darkened. "You’re the one who’s parasitized; your whole family is parasitized!"
Realizing Qin Shou wasn’t compromised, Fang Bao sohow felt disappointed.
Sigh, he’d probably get conned by him again in the future...
"Why in the world are you hanging around with that Spine-eating Gu? Aren’t you afraid of dying?" Fang Bao asked, exasperated.
"Afraid of what? Fortune favors the bold and starves the timid. Right now, I’m her most trusted person. These days, while tagging along with her, I’ve snagged quite a few Second-level chas.
In a few days, I’ll have Big Big Wolf patch up those chas and send a few your way."
Qin Shou said generously, for once.
Fang Bao looked on in admiration. "No wonder it’s you—breaking into the enemy’s inner circle."
