Chapter 134 One Step Away from Perfection
Wang Qiao indeed kept his word.
Put everything that can be taken into your backpack slots.
Anything that can't be taken away is put into a decomposer and decomposed on the spot.
Lu Youyou wasn't idle either; she followed suit.
The two of them acted like bandits passing through a region, taking everything that was still somewhat useful for themselves.
"Click."
Shen Taiyang, who was observing from the shadows, could not control his emotions. His fingers clenched into fists, and his knuckles cracked.
Finally, he couldn't help but step forward.
"That's enough! These things belong to the Blood Shadow Gang. Haven't you two ever seen anything good before?"
Lu Youyou placed the porcelain bowl in her hand into the decomposer before straightening up: "I thought you could hold out for longer, but you're out already?"
Shen Taiyang curled the corners of his mouth, but his smile was very stiff.
"You guys don't really think you're so smart, do you? You think you can force me out? Ha! If I hadn't come out, you would never have found me in your entire life!"
Lu Youyou nudged Wang Qiao's arm before giving Shen Taiyang a perfunctory nod: "Ah, yes, yes, you're right, you're the best."
Upon receiving the signal, Wang Qiao immediately threw out a bottle of kerosene as Lu Youyou threw out the paralysis bomb.
Just as the paralyzing bullets and kerosene bottles were about to hit Shen Taiyang, a trampoline prop suddenly appeared in front of him.
thump~
The paralyzing bullets and kerosene bottles were bounced back the way they came.
"Get down!" Wang Qiao shouted.
Boom!
The kerosene bottle caught fire behind Lu Youyou and Wang Qiao, and a mixture of male and female screams came from outside the door.
"Come in! The fight's starting!" Lu Youyou shouted to the outside.
None of the people who agreed to cooperate in the group actually joined.
Lu Youyou's plan failed, and she suddenly burst out laughing.
She and Wang Qiao thought they could use others as human shields, but those people weren't fools.
Their intention was to reap the benefits without effort, not to feign cooperation with her, but to actually hold back their strength during the battle.
From the very beginning, those people never intended to actually fight Shen Taiyang; they were just pretending to select a few people to die for their team.
Unfortunately, she and Wang Qiao, harboring ulterior motives, fell for the trap.
"You two are truly women. Even on the verge of death, you still cling to those unrealistic fantasies. It seems that saying is true: women are all dreamers."
As soon as he finished speaking, Shen Taiyang suddenly raised his hand, and something that looked like a round eggplant flew slowly towards Lu Youyou.
Lu Youyou bent down to dodge, but the round eggplant exploded behind her, releasing a pungent odor into the air.
"Hahahaha! This is a treasure I went through so much trouble to obtain! Enjoy it! Your difficulties have only just begun!"
"Bah."
A whiff of minty aroma wafted over, and the dizzying feeling disappeared.
Wang Qiao shoved the spray bottle into Lu Youyou's hand, then shouldered the large machete and charged toward Shen Taiyang.
"Wang Qiao!"
Upon hearing Lu Youyou's voice, Wang Qiao didn't turn around.
She had only one belief in her mind: if she was to die, she should die in a useful way.
It's fine if we perish together with Shen Taiyang; it will solve a major problem for Lu Youyou.
She and Shen Taiyang were locked in a fierce battle, and for a time neither could gain the upper hand.
Both of them have abundant resources and many item cards.
With a crackling and clanging sound, whatever they approached was smashed.
Lu Youyou really wanted to get in, but she didn't know where to find an opportunity.
She paced anxiously, breaking out in a cold sweat.
After thinking for a moment, Lu Youyou took out the enhanced paralysis bullet.
This paralyzing bullet has a group paralyzing effect, so she doesn't need to hit Shen Taiyang directly.
All you need to do is calculate the effective range of the paralysis bullet, and you can paralyze him by hitting him next to it.
The advantage is that it can avoid triggering the rebound items on Shen Taiyang.
However, the downsides are equally significant.
She was afraid of accidentally hurting Wang Qiao.
The two fought fiercely, frequently changing positions.
If she doesn't time it right when she throws it, Wang Qiao will be the one who gets paralyzed.
call--
Lu Youyou took a deep breath, forcing herself to calm down, and observed the two people's moves.
She discovered that Shen Taiyang would teleport behind Wang Qiao every seven or eight seconds, and after a few hits, regardless of whether he hit her or not, he would start to change positions.
In order to counter the challenge, Wang Qiao had no choice but to switch positions.
The two fought from the corner of the room to the center, and then back to the surrounding area.
After observing the scene twice more with this conclusion in mind, Lu Youyou was certain that she was right.
She untied the fuse of the paralysis grenade and threw the enhanced version of the paralysis grenade ahead of time to the place where Shen Taiyang was going next.
"Clap."
The enhanced paralysis grenade landed, releasing its enhanced venom.
Shen Taiyang noticed an ambush ahead and abruptly changed direction. He would rather take a hit from Wang Qiao than step into the trap.
"boom!"
The machete slammed into Shen Taiyang's shield.
The shield shattered, but Shen Taiyang was unharmed.
Hahahaha!
Shen Taiyang's laughter stopped abruptly.
It turned out that Lu Youyou had taken advantage of Shen Taiyang's moment of relaxation to throw out all the enhanced paralysis grenades she had on her.
The venom has a wide spread, and there's bound to be one that will hit Shen Taiyang.
But Wang Qiao also fell victim to the virus.
Lu Youyou didn't have time to check on Wang Qiao's condition; her mind was completely focused on Shen Taiyang.
He threw the large axe, aiming it at Shen Taiyang's head.
The first strike shattered a shield.
The second strike shattered a spring net.
It was the third blow that finally killed Shen Taiyang.
At this point, the effects of the paralyzing bullet also ended.
Wang Qiao, panting heavily, collapsed to the ground, utterly exhausted.
"This damn thing is really hard to kill. Now I know why he's the only one left in the camp. The camp was destroyed, so it must have been opened. He opened a treasure chest, and then at night, monsters..."
After stammering through his words, Wang Qiao took a deep breath and slowly exhaled to calm his racing heart and emotions.
Thump thump thump.
The sound of hurried footsteps came from outside, growing closer and closer.
A middle-aged woman led a group of people in and rushed in. Her gaze fell on Wang Qiao, who was lying on the ground, and then on Lu Youyou, who was holding an axe but had no blood on her hands.
I have an idea in mind.
She rolled her eyes at Lu Youyou, took a few steps with her, and kept a distance from Wang Qiao.
"Wang Qiao, what's wrong? Was Shen Taiyang too powerful? Did he leave you any supplies before he died? Are you alright? Are you still capable of fighting?"
Seeing that Wang Qiao remained silent and only stared at her warily, the middle-aged woman started talking about other things, trying to lower Wang Qiao's guard.
She spoke as she moved closer to Wang Qiao.
"Oh right, I came in a hurry and haven't introduced myself yet. My name is Mao Ying, and I'm also the group admin. This is Hu Bingbing, and this is Zhao... um..."
A small arrow pierced Mao Ying's neck and then shot towards Hu Bingbing behind her.
Mao Ying collapsed, clutching her bleeding neck, her eyes filled with resentment and unwillingness.
The dagger in his hand clattered to the ground, stirring up a small patch of dust.
Hu Bingbing had a shield prop, which saved her from death. She shouted, "Ah! Big sister is dead! Run!"
The men and women scattered in all directions.
Lu Youyou lowered her arm, pulled out the blood-stained arrow, wiped it clean, and put it back into the quiver.
Things happened so fast that Wang Qiao hadn't even had time to react before everyone had run far away.
She looked at Lu Youyou, a look of surprise crossing her face, then curved her lips into a smile and teased, "Oh, my sister Youyou is ruthless and doesn't talk much."
“She was holding a dagger, I saw it, Wang Qiao, she wanted to kill you.”
"So you killed her?"
"Ah."
Wang Qiao's smile widened.
Lu Youyou stepped forward, returned the bottle of spray that could make people feel refreshed to Wang Qiao, and then helped her up.
"Are you alright? Can you walk by yourself? Let me help you out."
"No need, I'm dirty."
Wang Qiao leaned against the dilapidated wall as she walked out, with Lu Youyou following behind her.
Because of the fight, Wang Qiao's clothes became tattered.
Long-sleeved sun protection shirts are almost becoming short-sleeved sun protection shirts, and they even have fringed cuffs.
Suddenly, Lu Youyou noticed a dark line around Wang Qiao's left arm.
It was barely noticeable under the cover of the tattered cloth, and Lu Youyou had to look at it several times to confirm that it wasn't a shadow, but a real thing.
"Wang Qiao, what's that on your arm?"
Wang Qiao paused, his right hand protecting the black line, and said awkwardly, "Tattoo."
"Why is there a black line tattooed around it? Oh, it's not a complete circle; there's no joint at either end."
"Because it was just one step away from perfection."
Lu Youyou said earnestly, "You will definitely be able to achieve success in the future. I will help you. We are friends."
"...Okay, I will do it perfectly."
