Chapter 246
Chapter 246 Ride the Electric Donkey, Don’t Say Give Up
When Ling Mo arrived, he noticed the situation from a distance.
However, he didn’t choose to take a detour; after all, there was no need to waste time on something that barely counted as a threat.
Although he couldn’t see the full scale of that monster thanks to the buildings blocking his view, the hesitations of the group at the intersection suggested that this area was likely a Safe Zone. Besides, even if it wasn’t safe, that monster wouldn’t abandon its tasty morsels to chase after a passerby on a little electric donkey—there are rules to drawing aggro too.
As for the threat from these few people, he cared even less—these guys looked like they were barely able to save themselves, let alone organize a team.
So, he remained indifferent and didn’t react at all—if this were reality, he might have saved someone, but this was just a game, a PVP dungeon at that, so there was no real need to play the hero.
Charity isn’t doled out like that. If someone dies in this dungeon, it only proves they’re too weak; even if he saved them, they’d just get taken out again the next time trouble arose.
Also, Ling Mo didn’t intend to waste too much time on Xia Xinyan.
But in the end, he turned back.
Because Xia Xinyan spoke up.
The guy they called Brother Tang, she knew him.
His name was Tang Chong, and his abilities were quite average so much so that he barely made a ripple among the current player population. As for why Xia Xinyan remembered him so well, it had to do with his sister, Tang Tang.
As mentioned before, in her last life, Xia Xinyan had formed a faction under the guidance of a chubby guy, but she wasn’t cut out to lead, so she searched for someone to manage her faction—none other than Tang Chong’s sister, Tang Tang.
When she handed Canglong over to the chubby dude some time ago, she had thought that if she ever ran into Tang Tang again in this life, she would bring her over to be her aide again—after all, that girl had real talent, and it would be a waste not to put it to good use.
But in her last life, they had met by chance, and now that she became Xia Xinyan, the butterfly effect had thoroughly wrecked her previous life’s trajectory, making it quite likely that she’d never see those old friends again. She had prepared herself for that; it was all in fate’s hands.
Now, it seemed… fate really is wonderfully strange.
She unexpectedly ran into Tang Tang’s brother here—a real lucky break.
Naturally, she had to seize this opportunity.
So, she called Ling Mo back.
Tang Chong and the others looked at Ling Mo and Xia Xinyan with confusion.
“You are… Ling Mo?” One of the men suddenly called out their names, “And Miss Xia?”
“You know us?” Ling Mo glanced back at the monster whipping its tentacles in the distance and said seriously, “Let’s get to the point. Do you need our help? Those captured are about to die.”
“Please!” Tang Chong shouted immediately, “Save them! We can give you game points!”
“No need for game points; we just enjoy helping others,” Ling Mo smiled, then got off his little electric donkey, parked it seriously, and walked towards the monster. “You all stay back and watch out for friendly fire.”
Xia Xinyan activated her ability and wagged her tail following Ling Mo: “You cover me; I’ll save them.”
Ling Mo nodded, “Alright.”
The two charged towards the monster together.
Xia Xinyan jumped onto the monster’s body at lightning speed, using countless tentacles as footholds to leap towards the captured individuals at the top, while Ling Mo immediately conjured a bunch of assorted bombs and hurled them at the monster’s base.
A series of explosions erupted, the monster’s flesh could not withstand such fierce blasts and was torn apart, with several tentacles ripped clean off and crashing to the ground, smashing nearby abandoned vehicles into scrap.
However, the monster’s body grew back even faster; just as one tentacle was blown off, a thicker one sprouted out at lightning speed, attempting to attack Ling Mo.
But Ling Mo’s bomb conjuration speed only increased; he blew up each tentacle as it reached for him.
That turned a once peaceful street into a hot combat zone.
Xia Xinyan acted even quicker. Once she reached the top, she used her tail to slice through the tentacle binding the people, then pulled out a mechanical binding rope from her space watch to secure them, preventing them from falling back into the monster’s grasp.
After rescuing the three people on top, Xia Xinyan jumped down, landing perfectly beside Ling Mo—like a single finger pointing.
The three people she rescued hit the ground hard but got up bravely; the mechanical binding rope kept them secure but not tightly, so they could wriggle free without much effort. They didn’t even have time to thank her before they hurriedly ran ahead.
With their goal of saving others achieved, Ling Mo and Xia Xinyan also promptly withdrew.
However, the monster, clearly enraged by Ling Mo’s bomb barrage, began to crack the ground beneath them, massive tentacles thrusting upward to grab at them.
The only good news was that this monster’s emergence speed was significantly slower compared to the previous dinosaur. With all their might, they could still manage to escape this beast.
But the fight had clearly drained the group’s stamina, and they were now on the brink of collapse. Finally, one of them shouted, “I can’t do it anymore! I can’t run!”
Tang Chong, who had come to assist them, immediately encouraged him, “No! Hang in there! You’ve come this far; you can’t give up now! We’re about to escape!”
“I really… can’t run anymore…” The man was indeed at his limits and looked ready to give up, slowing down visibly and quickly creating a distance between them.
Tang Chong gritted his teeth and turned back to pull him: “No! I brought you in! I won’t abandon anyone! We’ll die together if we have to!”
Xia Xinyan, running in front, couldn’t help but roll her eyes.
Noticing her reaction, Ling Mo thought for a moment and turned back, white lines appearing around him: “If you can’t run, ride the electric scooter! It can’t catch up to us, so don’t give up easily!”
As soon as he finished speaking, six little electric scooters appeared next to him.
Everyone: “…”
Although they wanted to express their gratitude, why did this scene just make them want to poke fun at it?
Why did it have to be little electric scooters…
Even Xia Xinyan’s expression froze for a moment.
—Honestly, from the beginning, she felt that the little electric scooter didn’t fit the city’s vibe at all.
But…
Forget it, whatever goes, goes.
