Chapter 91
Faced with Wolf Soul attacking from different directions, Mudrock was initially a little nervous, but gradually calmed down.
The energy wave was powerful, but it couldn't break through the Magic Shield. Previously, it would take Mudrock 9 seconds to regenerate its shield. However, after becoming Shi Lei's familiar, it trained and reduced that time to 7 seconds.
Furthermore, the Redstone Golem blocks the way, capable of blocking at least a third of the energy wave. If her shield cannot be broken within 7 seconds, any attack becomes pointless.
All of this is thanks to Lord Shi Lei.
Thinking of its master, Mudrock felt a warmth in its heart and was filled with strength.
For Lord Shi Lei!
Lappland kept releasing energy waves, her hands aching from the blows, but she still couldn't break the shield, and her heart sank.
What, what kind of monster is this?
She gradually realized that she and the burly man with the hammer were probably not on the same level.
Could it be that physical defense is his weakness, which is why he wears heavy armor?
However, the cramped roads of the Lower City make it impossible to get close. Ranged attacks using Originium Arts can't even break through shields; how can we fight like this?
The battlefield situation is constantly changing.
In the blink of an eye, Lappland entered the attack range of the Redstone Golem, which had taken a step forward. It swung its paw, unleashing a powerful gust of wind!
Her face paled in horror, and she hastily retreated. She didn't notice that behind her was a wall, leaving her nowhere to go. In a flash, she could only raise her arms to try and salvage the situation.
"Boom!"
The moment the edge of the Redstone Golem's hand grazed Lappland, Lappland and the wall were blasted through.
In an instant, dust and smoke rose up, obscuring the view.
She clutched her chest in pain and slowly crawled up from the rubble. Suddenly, Lappland felt a sweet taste in her throat and vomited a mouthful of blood.
"Ugh~"
It's unclear whether it was due to injury or a relapse of Originium-related illness caused by repeatedly Originium Arts.
But at that moment, she had only one thought in her mind.
If we can't win, we have to retreat!
144. Human nature is unpredictable.
The power of the Redstone Golem is truly terrifying.
Even a mere glancing blow from a distance was almost too much for Lappland. If he'd taken a direct punch, wouldn't he have died on the spot?
I can't beat them, I'm outta here.
This Redstone Golem can act as both a meat shield and possesses immense destructive power, and the summoner also has Originium Arts that provide Magic Shield. In the cramped environment of the Lower City, it is essentially an unstoppable force.
Smoke and dust filled the room, but the Silver Wolf Gang was nowhere to be seen. Just as Lappland clutched her chest, pondering where to escape, Cover plate suddenly opened nearby, revealing the head of Spectacled Feline:
"This way, come quick!"
Although he would have preferred Lappland to die here, they were all in the same boat for now. Saving her temporarily might prove useful later.
Now surrounded by enemies, Lappland knew this was no place to linger. So, before the smoke and dust cleared, she quickly jumped...
They entered the underground Secret Passage. Meanwhile, the man with Spectacled Feline, locked the Passage Entrance and slid down the ladder to the bottom.
Lappland winced slightly, seemingly in pain. She clutched her right chest with her left hand and asked:
"How could you..."
Spectacled Feline knew what the other person wanted to ask, but now was not the time to speak, so he urged:
"Go ahead, I'll tell you the rest on the way."
This morning and at noon, Lappland stormed different strongholds, killing eight gang leaders in succession. These Silver Wolf Gang members, however, were far from idle.
Taking advantage of the chaos at the strongholds, they began to loot. Some strongholds had large amounts of liquid funds and stored a lot of cash. Other strongholds had small amounts of liquid funds, and the money was basically kept in bank cards or safes, which they couldn't take with them even if they wanted to.
They raided eight venues in succession, looting nearly 400,000 yuan in cash and jewelry and watches valued at around 600,000 yuan. However, the latter would definitely be sold at a discount, and turning it into 200,000 to 300,000 yuan would be quite good.
Based on this calculation, each of the ten people would receive an average of 60,000 to 70,000 yuan. That's neither an exaggeration nor a drastic reduction.
Given Lappland's actions, which had already provoked public outrage, Spectacled Feline anticipated that someone would come seeking revenge. To be on the safe side, he found a low-rise building with an Underground Passage to rest in.
Before the Redstone Golem appeared, the intense tremors were impossible to ignore. Sensing the impending danger, they quickly evacuated. The fact that the infected outside only surrounded them without attacking gave them the opportunity to escape.
The Underground Passage wasn't long; it only took two or three minutes to reach the bottom. Eyes-Eye Feline climbed up first, and seeing Lappland clutching her chest as she climbed, she offered her a hand.
However, the latter did not accept this kindness and slowly climbed out of the Passage Entrance using the ladder.
The low building was only a couple hundred meters away, and the enemy could search this area at any time. The group dared not delay and quickly moved further away.
Through covert observation, Spectacled Feline discovered that Lappland might have broken a bone. He then changed his plans and took her to the underground clinic in the neighboring District 24.
The other Silver Wolf Gang members took the opportunity to rest and recover their strength.
This underground clinic lived up to its name, located in a basement. The air was thick with the strong smell of disinfectant and a pungent, metallic odor. Those unaccustomed to such smells would find it extremely uncomfortable. Several members of the gang felt unwell and said they would wait outside the clinic.
Despite his discomfort, Spectacled Feline led Lappland to the Doctor and said:
"Someone here is injured. Could you help take a look? The price is negotiable."
The Doctor stood up and glanced at the Female Lupo. He noticed the Originium on her and his eyelids twitched.
Infected people are tough to deal with...
The Doctor had originally planned to go into the inner room, turn on the light, and conduct a undressing examination. Instead, he knelt directly in front of the safe behind the chair, entered the password, and retrieved a box of medicine.
"I can't treat this kind of injury here. How about some painkillers?"
The Doctor refused to treat my eye Feline, which left me feeling somewhat speechless. I tried to persuade him again.
"Can't you get it checked?"
The Doctor shook his head after hearing this, saying that selling some painkillers was already more than enough. His six-year-old child had died from the infection; no amount of money could save someone like that.
"There's no hope. I don't even have a medical license. What if I kill her? Just give her some painkillers and take her somewhere else to see a doctor."
Lappland was well aware of his injuries; he likely had two or three broken ribs. They weren't life-threatening, but they severely hampered his mobility, requiring two to three months of rest for full recovery.
"I'm fine, I'll just take painkillers."
Seeing her say that, Feline stopped insisting. He bought the painkillers for the exorbitant price of 500 Lungmen Dollars.
Lappland borrowed the clinic's water dispenser, got some water, and took her painkillers. But soon after, she felt some discomfort in her stomach and asked:
"Excuse me, where is the restroom?"
"Turn left ahead."
"I'm going to use the restroom, I'll be right back."
Spectacled Feline didn't want to stay there, so he pinched his nose and went to wait on the ground. As soon as he appeared, several members of the Silver Wolf Gang surrounded him and whispered:
"We've all agreed to leave her here. We'll split the rest of the money equally and go our separate ways."
"No!"
Spectacled Feline shook his head and presented his own plan:
"She's from the Lupos, she's very resilient, she should recover in a month or two. Then we'll find a casino with high liquidity and pull off a big heist, everyone can get tens or hundreds of thousands, and we won't have to worry about food and drink for the rest of our lives."
"If we break up now, everyone'll only get tens of thousands of yuan. What happens when you run out? Will you continue to be involved in the gang? If you really want to break up, fine, I'll divide the money among you."
Is it a choice between earning tens of thousands now or potentially millions in the future? Faced with this dilemma, the Silver Wolf Gang members present were all determined to take the gamble with him.
"No, no, no, I was just joking. From now on, whatever you say goes, and everyone will listen to you."
Lappland entered the bathroom and locked the door. She slowly pulled open her clothes to check her injuries.
She was grazed by the Redstone Golem's fingertip, which likely resulted in a broken rib. The rest were just bruises from hitting the bricks, nothing serious.
"Hiss..."
When Lappland squatted down to sit on the toilet, she aggravated her wound and gasped. This kind of injury wouldn't kill her, but it would torment her for a considerable time.
The edges of the bathroom walls were not sealed.
Sitting here, I can actually hear conversations outside.
"Your visa to Upper City should have expired by now, right? When are you going to renew it? We're still waiting for you to go there to buy goods and bring them back to sell."
"No need for all that trouble. I recently found a passageway connecting the plots in District 27. All I need to do is build a long ladder to get into the Upper City, saving me the visa fee."
"Aren't you afraid of being arrested by the Lungmen Guard Department?"
"Hey, what's there to worry about? Even if I get arrested, I'll only be detained for a few days at most. What else can they do to me? They'll just send me back to the Lower City anyway, it's not like I'll lose a hair. I know I was wrong, but I'll do it again next time."
"Hahaha, you're really something."
Lappland frowned upon hearing this. Was it all a lie, as Spectacled Feline had said about bribing the guards?

145 This girl is quite outgoing (4K)
Lappland was decisive and efficient. She quickly dressed and left the bathroom.
The painkillers hadn't taken effect yet, and even the slightest movement of her ribs caused excruciating pain. But she still endured the pain and jogged away from the underground clinic. She wanted to get outside and find the man who boasted he could smuggle her into the Upper City.
You can bear the stomach pain for now. If you wait until you've finished using the toilet before coming out, everyone else will probably have left.
Judging from the conversation between the two people just now, it seems that getting from the Lower City to the Upper City is not as troublesome as imagined.
All you need to do is find an unguarded spot at the junction between the two areas of the Lower City. Then, set up a ladder, and you can easily sneak into the Upper City.
This method of smuggling differs from the description given by Spectacled Feline. Lappland is currently unable to determine whether they genuinely don't know or are feigning ignorance.
Her current plan is to rent a place in the Upper City to recover from her injuries. Ideally, it would be located opposite or near Penguin Logistics, so she can easily keep an eye on Texas.
After seeing Lappland emerge, she ran straight in the other direction. Many Silver Wolf Gang members, bewildered, were forced to follow her into the nearby streets.
Lappland looked around but didn't see the two men standing together. Many shops on the street were closed, except for a general store, a clothing store, a restaurant, and an adult goods store.
Spectacled Feline quickly caught up, noticing her looking around as if searching for something, and asked:
"What's wrong?"
Lappland did not respond, but instead stood outside the different shops and carefully observed the interior environment.
She only ran from the bathroom to here in a minute or two. Could those two people have left so quickly?
"Boss, please stock more of this next time. I only used a tiny bit, and it made my wife scream."
"Don't worry, you can come and pick it up in a few days."
Lappland raised an eyebrow, confirming that the owner of the adult store was indeed the man who could smuggle people in. Because a curtain obscured the entrance, the interior was not visible.
To avoid arousing suspicion among the Silver Wolf Gang members, she continued walking along the street. Even though Feline harbored resentment, she had no choice but to grit her teeth and follow.
After walking several hundred meters, Lappland discovered a narrow alley blocked by debris and immediately slipped inside.
Many Feline followed her into the alley, and when they saw her raise her hand to make a shushing gesture, their suspicions deepened.
Is this crazy woman looking for someone, or is she hiding from pursuers? Tsk, I really don't understand.
Lappland leaned against the wall, adjusting her breathing and silently waiting for the painkillers to take effect. Only when she felt the pain in her ribs gradually subside did she draw her weapon.
"Bass."
Seeing this, Spectacled Feline's eyelids twitched violently. The other side suddenly drawing a weapon at them was not a good sign. He forced a calm expression and asked with an awkward smile:
"Um, what's wrong with you?"
Lappland exhaled a breath of stale air, stood blocking the alleyway with her weapon in hand, and coldly looked at the Feline:
"Besides bribing the guards at the checkpoint, are there any other ways to get into the Upper City?"
Upon hearing this, Spectacled Feline immediately realized the problem. Had Lappland overheard some information while she was in the restroom?
Damn it, it's impossible to guard against.
