Is This Your Equipment Too?
Although it's unclear how Xin'er joined the dungeon chat group created by Xu Nan, the atmosphere quickly began to change.
[A-Tang: Save! You must save him! Even if it costs me my life, I'll save my master! I can't help it, I'm just that loyal of all my magical pets!]
[Shi Fanglin: While the City Management Captain's strategy needs further examination, his underlying thinking is correct. We only need to make some minor adjustments to the details.]
[Lü Junyi: Are you guys really that honest?]
[Lü Junyi: But I also felt I had to save him. I always adhere to the principle of never abandoning my patients. I still feel uneasy because I didn't remove his stitches myself... I couldn't let him die for no reason.]
Qin Lele: Shall we go then?
Xin'er had only uttered one sentence throughout, typed a series of question marks.
Fortunately, although these people's brainwaves were detached, Shi Fanglin was still able to communicate with her.
The two exchanged private messages for about ten minutes.
Xin'er: Help!
Then a group of people who were playing mahjong and chatting on their phones in the living room heard a click from the second floor.
The door that hadn't been opened for millennia was finally opened.
A dark, shadowy figure emerged stealthily.
Xin'er looked down at the crowd, who put down their mahjong tiles and showed expressions of shock.
"Xin'er, we're not robbing a bank, so there's no need to put stockings over your face."
Shi Fanglin explained in a low voice.
Xin'er shook her head stubbornly, her eyes resolute.
Her clothes were different today; she was wearing a tracksuit and carrying a round baseball bat.
Everyone knew more or less about Xin'er's problems, so they simply handed her over to Shi Fanglin.
"Why haven't you left yet? Isn't my brother in danger?"
Xin'er broke the silence.
The rhythmic sound of tiles being thrown echoed across the mahjong table.
"... It's been dangerous enough, this round has to be over by now, right? Soon it'll be my turn to be the dealer... Hehehe, I caught three God of Wealth this round..."
"They took advantage of me because I don't know anything about mahjong in Jiangdong. They won so many bamboo coins from me before. I'm going to win it all back this time..."
"Watch me amass wealth... (Hangzhou Mahjong gameplay)"
Rumble!
Amidst Ah Tang's triumphant shouts, the mahjong table collapsed into dust, along with the lobsters and braised duck necks nearby.
Only the three God of Wealth in Ah Tang's hands shone brightly.
"I'll go find the car!" Lü Junyi immediately ran out.
"I'm going to change my clothes!" Qin Lele threw down her pajamas and ran outside.
"I... you... Xin'er, your power?" Shi Fanglin looked surprised.
Xin'er stared at the fleeting, mysterious light in her hand, remaining silent.
The efficiency of the entire dungeon has increased dozens of times!
Once everyone was fully armed and determined that their mission was to break into the Riverbend and rescue Xu Nan, they embarked on their journey!
As promised, Lü Junyi found a military armored vehicle. Given his current relationship with Wen Xin, it wouldn't be difficult for him to accomplish this.
However, things are never that simple.
The armored vehicle had just driven onto the road when it got stuck.
"What happened?" Xin'er asked again.
Everyone trembled with fear.
Only Lü Junyi remained somewhat calm, shrugging helplessly:
"... During rush hour, the traffic jam is so bad that you can only see the back of the car in front of you."
Xin'er fell completely silent.
In the Riverbend, at the backup base, Xu Nan was completely unaware that his companions had already taken action, even going so far as to defy the evening rush hour traffic in order to save him!
If he knew, he would definitely... scoff.
Damn it, they're all professionals now. If they can't walk, are they just going to run over here?
If we really encounter any danger, by the time you guys get here, I'll probably be dead already!
Formalism is deadly!
At this very moment, he is making his final preparations for the battle.
Based on current intelligence, it is not difficult to know that although the number of enemies is large, most of them are low-intelligence zombies.
Senior Jiang led a group of people to plant large pea fields outside the backup base.
The Pea Shooter displayed formidable combat power against the Fallen Zombies. Xu Nan initially wondered if these Pea Shooter could hold out for long, since even the most formidable fighters would eventually tire from shooting incessantly.
Jiang Yuanchi explained the principle of the Pea Shooter to him. Although Xu Nan didn't quite understand, it seemed that it was very strong because it was green.
For the time being, we don't need to worry about the stamina of the Pea Shooter.
This provides Xu Nan with the space to stall on the front lines and carry out his plan.
Soon, a raven flew back.
This raven is a pet of one of the trainees in the Training Camp. It doesn't have any special abilities; it's just a messenger.
Through He Xi, Xu Nan located the Gospel Spreader Richie and challenged him to a one-on-one duel!
If the Cultists win, Xu Nan promises to offer up the Saint's Remains with both hands, without any conditions!
If Xu Nan wins, the Gospel Spreader Richie must let them leave safely and will have to buy the Saint's Remains from them at a high price!
Both of these outcomes seem to align with the Cultists' desires, since their goal is simply to retrieve the Saint's Remains, which is also a sinister trap designed by Xu Nan based on their ideas.
The Cultists have no reason not to agree.
The backup base is very well protected, and they cannot break through it in a short time.
The reinforcements from the Thousand Rays Society are urgently needed. Although it is unknown how they have blocked the main force's path to aid, it certainly won't be delayed for long.
After all, this isn't their home turf.
Therefore, Xu Nan was certain that they would agree!
You might ask, why does it suddenly seem like the fish has become smart?
Nonsense, after eating four Golden Apple, how could his IQ not increase...?
In conclusion, this is a feasible plan.
It all depends on how they respond.
When Xu Nan opened Raven's Creed, he was embarrassed:
[Please communicate in Common Language. Even the God Above who have visited Earth have not been able to decipher the China language with ease, let alone us, their servants.]
When I was writing the challenge, I accidentally used Chinese Language.
Okay, then let's write it again in the Common Language.
Soon, the Gospel Propagator's message arrived: he had agreed to Xu Nan's challenge to a duel. The location was the helipad halfway up the mountain at the backup base, which was also the most intense spot in Plants vs. Zombies!
Since it happens to be the main battlefield for both sides, it is convenient for both sides to provide support, and there is a relatively open space in the middle, which is suitable for heroes to show off... oops, I mean, to have a one-on-one fight.
The two sides reached an agreement.
Xu Nan immediately began making the follow-up arrangements.
Meanwhile, the Gospel Propagator also had his own plans. He sent the warriors away to guard the back door of the backup base, ostensibly to prevent the group from using a diversionary tactic to escape with the Saint's Remains.
Although the Blade Warrior was indignant at Richie's seemingly selfish act, he was far less favored by God than the Gospel Propagator, and could only obey for the time being.
It was dusk, and the sun was setting.
On the tarmac, Gospel Spreader Richie stood alone.
Xu Nan also flew out gracefully from the lush green Pea Shooter swarm. Yes, he sat cross-legged on the magic carpet. If he were holding a magic flute, people would think it was still India making its appearance.
"The Saint's Remains are in your hands; I can feel that aura."
Richie's eyes were bloodshot, revealing a fanatical glint:
"I've heard that Earthlings are cunning, but you actually brought a magic carpet."
"What, is it wrong for the magic carpet to be my equipment?"
Xu Nan approached with a self-righteous air.
Richie suddenly roared, "So these three people are also your equipment?!"
Whoosh! A ray of divine light flashed, Salted Fish Three Brothers, who were wrapped in the [Invisibility Orb] on the magic carpet, instantly revealed themselves!
Behind the Pea Shooter, everyone covered their faces.
Although there is no need to follow the rules of the world when dealing with evil heretics, it would be very embarrassing if the conspiracy was exposed. At this time, it seems too unoriginal to say "you alone will pick the four of us in a duel"!
However, they clearly underestimated Xu Nan's shamelessness.
"That's right, those three are also my equipment!"
Xu Nan said matter-of-factly, "Don't believe me? Ask them."
Wang Dongdong took the lead. "I'm accessory number one!"
"I'm accessory number 2!" Ning Le retorted defiantly.
"Of course I'm accessory number 3!" Li Jingran smugly.
"Alright," the three of them grabbed Xu Nan's legs and shouted as if they had rehearsed it countless times.
"We're just like the big brother's leg accessories!"
"Isn't a thigh accessory considered equipment?"
The fallen zombies didn't react, but the Pea Shooter clearly couldn't stand this level of shamelessness and started to feel nauseous, resulting in them vomiting even more green energy!
Whoosh!
While the three brothers were making their big pronouncements, Xu Nan started in first gear, accelerated in second gear, and seamlessly transitioned between third and fourth gear, pushing the magic carpet to its limit and just like that, he charged straight through!
Since the conspiracy has been exposed anyway, we must kill one of the Gospel Propagator first!
This guy is even more powerful than Divine Art Master. If he were to casually unleash a divine spell, the consequences would be unimaginable!
However, Richie was clearly prepared.
His figure slowly disappeared from the spot, accompanied by a smug voice:
"I knew all along that you Earthlings are cunning, so this is just a fake!"
"Hmph, now that you're out, don't even think about going back!"
"I'd like to see who among you can hurt me amidst this horde of fallen zombies..."
Suddenly, the zombies began to rampage, and Richie's figure slowly floated up. Beside him, a terrifying beast stood up!
That's a rotting Tundra Bear! Tier 2!
On the tarmac, everyone's expression changed drastically, and some even took a step back.
Richie burst into loud laughter. "Scared?"
"Hurry up and go!" Xu Nan shouted in his direction.
Richie was a little confused, and then he felt like the whole world had gone dark.
Boom!
A spaceship crashed down into the horde of fallen zombies, turning Richie and the Tundra Bear into mincemeat!
"Brother! I've come to rescue you in my Cloud Ascending Ship!"
Lü Junyi jumped out of the spaceship and shouted loudly!
Inside the cockpit, Xin'er, who had just pulled the brakes, couldn't help but let out a groan.
This chapter is an extra chapter for the release of the book!
