Chapter 212: The Rose Factory

Outside the factory.

Liu Jiayi drags the long pliers that hold the cart in one hand, and holds the poison in the other as he warily pulls the cart around.

Surrounded by an assortment of Rose staff monsters and constrained by this cart, Liu Jiayi is outnumbered on all sides.

But two other members of the King's Guild came out of the factory to help her, and Qi Yifang's wide-ranging skills controlled the field, keeping the effects of the attacks on the scattered monsters in a counterbalancing manner.

" Bai Liu This person is really ......" Liu Jiayi leaned back exhaustedly behind her bunker to catch her breath, raising her elbow to wipe the sweat dripping down the side of her face, looking over at the cart she had separated with a long pair of pliers, and whining, "Isn't this isn't that something very important to you?"

"...... gave it to me so easily, and if it's not protected, you're going to blackmail me on that later, aren't you?"

A monster jolted out from behind Liu Jiayi, who subconsciously stepped in front of the cart and swatted away the poison, shouting, "Get out of the way!"

The black poison was poured into the monster's open petals, which melted and deformed with the sound of decay, turning into a pool of blood.

The monster's surprise attack caused Liu Jiayi, who had fought to exhaustion, to forget to keep her distance from the cart in her haste and suffer a phase drop in her mental strength from the contents of the cart.

Liu Jiayi shakes her head twice and reaches for the rose perfume in her pocket to restore her spirit, only to find that the bottle is empty.

More monsters, attracted by the poisoned corpses, were surrounding Liu Jiayi and gradually narrowing the circle, forcing her closer and closer to the cart, and she was increasingly affected by the godlike NPCs on the cart, to the point where she became dizzy and needed to hold on to the long pincers to stand still.

A divine NPC who has been split up may have been exposed internally, affecting the player even more than before in the orphanage!

"Liu Jiayi couldn't help but let go of the long pincers and continued to stop the cart with poison in both hands, gritting her teeth.

"Little witch! You've almost run out of perfume, haven't you? Go on!"

"There's one over here too! Take it!"

"Here!"

Voices from three different directions, and three bottles of perfume thrown from different angles, came from three King's Guild Reserves, her previous teammates.

Liu Jiayi looked at the three bottles of perfume that were slowly falling in mid-air, she pursed her lips and shook back the hand she wanted to extend - she didn't want to owe too many favours to others.

...... before those collaborations could still be described as everyone fighting together to get through, but now in this situation, with a constant stream of monsters, everyone's perfume is not generous ......

...... Bai Liu guy will have to play in the league in the future, and if she meets Qi Yifang and the others on the field in the future, according to Liu Jiayi's knowledge of herself, these unpaid debts will make her hesitate, which is not good.

But if she doesn't pick up, she won't last much longer.

"Jiayi!" When Qi Yifang saw that Liu Jiayi was still keeping her head down and not ready to answer the perfume, she started calling her name, "Answer it! Your spirit level has dropped to below 40!"

The perfume that was about to fall in front of Liu Jiayi was swept into the arms of a man who suddenly tumbled through the wall of the factory Liu Jiayi was leaning against, and then thrown back in the same direction.

Qi Yifang and two other men catch the perfume being thrown back in some panic.

"Thank you all for your interest and help to my little witch."

Bai Liu landed lightly like a leaf, casually picked up the cart in Liu Jiayi's hand and moved it in front of her, tossing her a bottle of perfume at the same time, then turned her head and gave a whip without hesitation, slapping the approaching monster backwards in a semi-circular vacuum belt.

He slowly raised his eyes, looking away from them, and smiled with a false, courteous bow, "But we may all be enemies in the future, so it's better not to be so close, don't you think Jiayi ?"

Liu Jiayi is relieved.

Out of the first reaction of a nanny, Liu Jiayi scanned Bai Liu's entire body to make sure there were no major injuries before she spoke with a slight sneer, clutching her chest, "I thought you would take these three bottles of perfume for yourself."

"I would have liked to." Bai Liu turned to Liu Jiayi with a smirk, "But I suppose you don't really want me to take it all for yourself, or maybe you don't really want to owe them, which is why you haven't picked it up."

Liu Jiayi sprayed two sprays of perfume on herself, took a deep breath, hummed and glared at Bai Liu: "You're the one who talks too much!"

When he had regained his mental strength, Liu Jiayi looked around: "What's that, where's Captain Tang?"

Bai Liu swept away the approaching monsters with another whip and took the time to reply to Liu Jiayi, "I told him to send me out to support you first, then I told him to clear the monsters in the factory first."

"When he's finished clearing the factory of monsters, he'll come back out and join us."

"Finished?" Liu Jiayi frowned, "Most of the monsters are still mainly concentrated in the factory, he can clear it alone ...... "Finished?

Liu Jiayi is about to ask Bai Liu if he has too much faith in the abilities of Captain Tang, who joined them halfway through the year.

Almost immediately after Liu Jiayi's words, a man propped himself up with one hand against the high wall Liu Jiayi was leaning against and tumbled out in a skilled, crisp gesture.

At the same time the man flung with great force in his other hand a meter-long, oddly shaped silver revolver, which he held pressed under his shoulder in order to ease the recoil of the constant firing, which kept his waist in a very standard, powerful-looking position as he went over the wall.

The wind lifted the hair on his forehead and the hem of his coat, revealing a pair of intensely focused, dark blue eyes.

Almost as soon as the man was still leaping over the wall, he started shooting indiscriminately at the monsters that kept approaching Bai Liu and Liu Jiayi.

"Bang - da da da da da da da!!!"

The fire and smoke instantly create a cordon in front of Bai Liu and Liu Jiayi that no one dares to violate.

The dense layer of monsters that had overwhelmed Liu Jiayi turned to dust in the blink of an eye, as Tang Erda landed on one knee on a black patch of bullet-riddled ground, then rose with a stony expression.

The peculiarly long-stemmed revolver in Tang Erda's hand folds back with a clicking metallic clatter and in a second becomes a normal revolver about the length of his hand.

He released the magazine and manually discharged the cartridge, replaced it and then turned to Bai Liu, his gaze calmly returning to Bai Liu as if asking him what more he needed to do.

"Wow, that was faster than I thought it would be." Bai Liu raised an eyebrow at Tang Erda, "You're done clearing the factory of monsters?"

Tang Erda, with no expression on her face, didn't seem to think she had done anything remarkable and simply returned a word: "Hmm."

As if he didn't think he'd done enough, Tang Erda added with a frown, "The factory workers and above couldn't get into the workshops without a key, so the Rose Factory was not cleared further in, the rest was cleared."

Bai Liu gave a very satisfied smile, "Well done."

Is this more than well done?!

Liu Jiayi glanced incredulously at the empty, gunpowder-stained ground in front of her, and then up at Tang Erda.

The three members of the King's Guild on the outside were almost dumbfounded as they looked at the gun in Tang Erda's hand with a horrified expression on their faces, their minds rarely in sync with Liu Jiayi's.

--This is a fucking Level 3 game!

It's outrageous that this guy's attacking power is as flat as it is here!

Liu Jiayi has watched a number of small TV tapes of league players over the last two years in order to learn, but she has never seen such devastating skills and attacks, except on Spades.

This is no longer a strength that can be summed up in four words by league players.

Liu Jiayi looked Tang Erda straight up and down with her eyes, the first time she had looked her opponent in the eye since she entered the game.

She calculated Tang Erda's panel quickly in her head -

--Almost one shot can take care of a bursting S-rank monster, and the attack value of a single shot is definitely in the tens of thousands.

Well-trained muscles, excellent combat awareness, fast mission execution, timely return to defence and the act of ensuring the safety of his teammates, and the process of debriefing Bai Liu just now, very much like the information output from the front line back to the tactician -

Liu Jiayi looks over at Tang Erda in dismay - this guy is a top league attacker who has been through a hundred battles.

This guy's attacking stats and fighting quality are even more impressive than many top team attackers - at least according to Liu Jiayi, it is likely that the King's Guild's team attackers would not even be able to get a single hit in front of Tang Erda.

In what way did Bai Liu offend such a top-notch attacker in hiding?

And now it looks like Bai Liu has managed to take this horrible character under his wing!

Because of Tang Erda's strong presence, Liu Jiayi, who was somewhat hostile towards him, could not help but take two steps back on his own and stand behind Bai Liu.

Her eyes shifted down to the shortened revolver in Tang Erda's hand and she asked tentatively, "-why did you change your skill weapon after you joined us outside the factory? That weapon just now had a significantly higher attack power."

Tang Erda gave Liu Jiayi a sidelong glance and said indifferently, "If you don't need to clean up quickly, a pistol will suffice."

Shit! That's not reasonable! --Liu Jiayi, who had grabbed the hem of Bai Liu's shirt, silently exploded in her mind, putting the fact that the attack value of a flat A weapon should also be over 10,000 into her mind's file on this Captain Tang.

No wonder this man can single-handedly brush a Level 3 copy. With this level of strength, he can walk across the entire game.

Thinking of herself against him earlier ...... Liu Jiayi heartily stroked her heart, glanced at Bai Liu who was still smiling standing in front of her and couldn't help but turn into a == expression again.

...... In every sense of the word, Bai Liu is an amazing person, so unlucky to have survived such an opponent ......

But with people like this on board ......

Liu Jiayi takes a deep breath.

-- With the strange course of events in Bai Liu's case, this man is leading a strange team that might actually win the league?

---------- --

Having largely cleared the entire factory of the little monster outside, Bai Liu spreads out the cloth wrapped together on the trolley and places Tavel's head down.

Snow-white skin grows rapidly along the lines of the neck, a peculiar life appears on the otherwise dead face, the long silver eyelashes that fall tremble slightly, a strange, mysterious silver-blue sheen stretches along the long, loving curls that fall to the ground, and the empty chest begins to expand slightly from side to side, as if the heart were beating in it.

Bai Liu drops his eyes as he looks at Tavel, lying motionless on his lap, and is still for a minute.

Then he suddenly reached out and put his hand into that empty chest, as if playing a game, clenching his fist and retracting it to mimic a heart, while his mouth softly mimicked the sound of a heart beating, his face a very strange smile.

"Bang bang - bang bang -"

[If I cut out your heart, you say your heart will not stop beating, but will continue to beat in my hands, is that so?]

At the same time, Bai six's face was pressed very close to Xie Ta's and his mouth imitated the sound of a beating heart: [thump, thump, thump - is that how your heart is beating in my palm? Is your heart beating like this in my palm?

[If you are curious ......] Xie Ta suddenly grabbed Bai six the hand that imitated a heart and placed it against the front of his heart, looking up and asking him very softly, [Touching it will tell me how my heart is beating].

Xie Ta's hand is folded over the back of Bai six's hand and his heart is beating in Bai six's hand.

They remained thus frozen for a long time, without either of them drawing back their hands, still by the gradual disorder of the two men's heartbeats.

Until Xie Ta whispered to him: [Is it bang-bang-bang- like this?

[It's not--] Bai six felt dry for some reason, the knot in his throat slid up and down a little, and with a rasp in his voice he replied, [It's thump-thump-thump-thump thump-thump-thump-thump-thump-thump-thump-thump-thump-thump-thump-thump-thump-thump-thump-thump-thump-thump-thump-thump-thump-thump-thump-thump-thump-thump-thump-thump-thump-thump-thump]

[Is it abnormal for me to be ...... like this?] Xie Ta asked him.

Bai six turned his face away and tried to pull his hand back: [I don't know.

But Xie Ta did not let him pull away, but calmly placed his hand in front of Bai six's heart as well, as if feeling his heartbeat, and then Xie Ta seemed to be laughing, a very soft, very soft laugh: [It seems normal].

[Your heart beats like this, just like mine.]

"What's he doing?" Liu Jiayi watched in confusion as Bai Liu hugged the god-ranked npc and knelt on the ground, his head bowed as he wondered what he was doing, a strange sound coming from his mouth, "Even if he's least affected by the god-ranked npc, then he can't keep hugging it!"

Liu Jiayi said and tried to interrupt Bai Liu's thoughts with a bit of urgency: "Even if it's a small effect, it's not a small effect! Tell Bai Liu to put it down and move on!"

Tang Erda put out a hand to stop Liu Jiayi who was coming forward: "Wait a minute."

Liu Jiayi was instantly alerted and raised her poison to look at him, "What for? Are you going to make Bai Liu go crazy by holding on like this ......"

In the middle of her sentence, Liu Jiayi suddenly stops - she sees a look of great shock on Tang Erda's face.

He seemed to be in shock and amazed at the scene he was seeing, and repeatedly made sure of it for a long time before speaking with difficulty.

"...... mechanically repeats the stereotypical actions one remembers encountering in relation to this scene when encountering a traumatic scene ......" Tang Erda was almost unsteady on his feet as he murmured in a daze, "...... This is a typical post-traumatic stress symptom."

Bai Liu, who had the same severe post-traumatic stress as he did.

And he actually didn't see it at all.
