Plans Changed

"Squad leader, should we abandon the vehicle and walk back, or..."

Looking at the living car front, whose head had been replaced by a balloon, Luo Di turned to ask Wu Wen, who was still sitting in the carriage.

"The vehicles were affected starting from when you, Luo Di, started looking up the information, which is not long after we set off."

The route has long since deviated, and if I were to walk back now, I don't know how long it would take, and I have no clear direction.

We could wake up Li Beite and, based on his connection with his family, have him go to the Formless Villa for a while.

If you're lucky, you might come across Corner City along the way where you can buy a means of transportation.

"After we rest at the mountain villa for a while, and until Hua Yuan wakes up, we'll return to the Sisterhood."

"It would take at least three days to walk across the area, which is very far. Walking such a distance is extremely dangerous in the corner, possibly several times more dangerous than killing the clown."

Li Beite also sensed the abnormality and woke up at that moment.

Although he and Wu Wen were monsters living in the Mid-level Zone, they only lived there; the corners were unknown to them.

The middle layer is currently the largest corner layer.

The land is unknown, fraught with danger, and even contains areas where certain death is certain. Any monster venturing here needs meticulous route planning for each outing.

"Let's get off the bus first and then discuss it."

Unable to determine where the vehicle was headed, Luo Di prepared to jump out and leave when the smiley face balloon produced a piercing sound through friction.

"We'll be at the amusement park in twenty minutes, so please don't rush to get off the bus."

As soon as he finished speaking,

All the people in the carriage had already jumped out.

The living vehicle, which was traveling at full speed, suddenly turned around, and the smiling Red balloon turned into an angry face.

"Didn't I tell you not to get off the bus? You're really annoying me!"

The vehicle begins to accelerate, not only reaching its maximum speed, but also expanding continuously during the process, potentially exploding upon impact.

It may explode if attacked.

Li Beite frowned, his ability to deal with this sudden situation was just about to be realized when he put his arms in a defensive stance.

But instead of retreating, some people walked towards the living vehicle controlled by the balloons.

Snap!

A violent crashing sound of flesh colliding rang out.

There was no explosion, and no blood splattering.

The vehicle, which had expanded to nearly three times its original size, was abruptly blocked.

In front of it was the squad leader, who was in a deep lunge position with his feet planted on the ground, stretching out his arms to block the vehicle.

Visible layers of crimson Ripples emanated from the palm, acting on the entire vehicle and suppressing the flesh to prevent it from exploding.

Immediately afterward, another figure flashed by.

The left arm, wrapped with wire, was inserted into the end of the live animal vehicle, and the end of the balloon's filament was found and pulled out by the roots.

The moment the balloon separated, the vehicle immediately deflated, and the danger was averted.

Instead of destroying the balloon, Luo Di tied it to a separate animal trap.

Since the balloon itself can talk, perhaps we can communicate with it.

"Oh dear, I'm so sorry, I didn't mean to hit you. The car just suddenly went out of control. Do you want to believe that excuse?"

The balloon kept apologizing, with a fawning expression.

"Are you the Joker?"

"Huh? I'm not the great Uncle Jock, I'm just the 1,000,000th balloon he made... Just kidding~ I don't know which number it is, but there are a lot of balloons, and I'm just one of them."

My only task is to take you to the amusement park.

If I can't bring it over, I'll Boom!

So please give me this chance, tie me to your hand, and I'll lead you to the amusement park! Uncle Jock will be there to welcome you.

Of course, I would never take this opportunity to crawl into your bodies, invade your skin, or penetrate your brains.

Oops~ Did I say something wrong?

Just as Luo Di was about to destroy the balloon in front of him,

"Let me try." Li Beite, who was standing behind, stepped forward, pried open the Hell animal trap with his bare hands, and then tied the balloon string to his hand.

Once the balloon made contact with the individual, its fawning expression immediately turned fierce, and the balloon thread wrapped around the arm pierced the skin like fine needles.

The balloon itself deflated, turning into some kind of red substance that flowed along the lines into Li Beite's body.

The entire process was completed in one second.

Immediately afterwards, Li Beite's arms and abdomen began to swell like balloons, as if he was about to be assimilated by the balloons and explode.

Burp~

A soft burp came from his mouth.

A rubbery smell was expelled from the body.

The swollen body immediately returned to its original shape, as if it had digested the balloon.

Li Beite also pointed forward.

"This guy wasn't lying to us. The residual scent from the balloon points to about ten kilometers away, which should be where the amusement park is... Why don't we skip going back to the sorority and head straight there? We slept perfectly well last night."

I just ate some meat at the supermarket; it would be best to finish this before I get hungry again.

Although Luo Di was surprised by Li Beite's abilities, he still needed to consider the current situation more carefully, especially since Hua Yuan had not yet truly woken up.

The other party is the Hateful Eight; this matter must be handled with extreme caution.

Just as Luo Di was about to offer a more prudent suggestion,

The class monitor actually walked over from a distance; she had just been standing right next to me.

"This area... has been completely sealed off, forming a [Area space] similar to the shallow zone, but even more complex and enclosed."

To get out, you must find the [exit].

The other party must have anticipated this. Even if we jumped off the train beforehand, we wouldn't be able to leave this place; we could only continue moving forward.

Apart from Hua Yuan who is still sleeping, we are all ready. Going straight there isn't a bad idea, what do you say, Luo Di?

Luo Di plopped down on the coffin, his brain racing.

Suddenly, he seemed to understand something, and turned his gaze to Wu Wen.

"Class monitor... you did this on purpose."

"Oh?"

"Your abilities couldn't possibly have failed to detect the anomaly of this flesh-and-blood vehicle. You deliberately didn't give any warning until we arrived at this closed area, at which point you pretended to discover the problem with the front of the car."

"Yes, right?"

Wu Wen flashed her professional smile again. "Hua Yuan can't go back, can she? Her experience at the supermarket was unusual, and she's been hiding it from me, so she'll probably have to keep it from her Grandmother as well. It's obviously not a good idea for her to go back."

Why don't you just come over?

Also, don't get me wrong. I'm not lying to you, but... sometimes playing along is a very good choice.

At least in my view, now is the best time to act.

Luo Di looked at the coffin beneath him. "Where's Hua Yuan? Should I drag the coffin to the amusement park, or wait here for her to wake up?"

"Didn't you two talk last night?"

You probably have a good idea of how long it will take for her to wake up, right? Waiting here will waste a lot of time, and that clown will definitely use this time to target us.

I suggest we go straight there.

The coffin was used as a hidden trump card.

Even while Hua Yuan is asleep, he can still perform instinctive defenses, and ordinary people can't open this coffin.

Wu Wen kicked the coffin more than ten meters away, then jogged back to drag it.

The coffin lid remained unmoved, and the coffin itself was undamaged.

"Made in a supermarket, quality guaranteed... Without Hua Yuan's permission, the coffin lid would be very difficult to open."

"Okay, let's go."

Luo Di chose to trust the squad leader's judgment.

Meanwhile, Li Beite seemed to have noticed something, so she moved slightly away from the two of them, took the initiative to walk in front, put her hands in her mouth, and whistled.

Beneath his seemingly ordinary expression lay a hint of excitement.

He smelled something.

A dangerous scent that could excite him throughout his body.
