"Are we going too far with this? What if Zhang Chen comes back? We're no match for him!"
"Heh, Zhang Chen is indeed powerful, but he's just a new generation of轮回者, lucky enough to level up quickly. You know, the Supremes' level is a full 3 stages higher than the highest level of other轮回者. Between Zhang Chen and the Supremes, I think any sane person would choose the Supremes!"
"But... why are people from the black market betting on Zhang Chen? Could it be they know some intel we don't?"
"Alright, stop scaring yourself. Boss Qian's brother died in the battle against the Supremes, so of course, she wouldn't defect to the Supremes. Besides, how could the Supremes trust someone like that?"
"So the black market has no other choice but to bet on Zhang Chen. But we didn't participate in that battle. We have no grudges against the Supremes, and we even brought their enemy's child here. Isn't that a great contribution?!"
With that, several people exchanged knowing smiles.
As the sun gradually set, the bloodstains and corpses on the high wall were all collected and cleaned up.
Huizi, disguised as Katerina, then brought the three children up to the high wall using a pre-arranged lift.
"Mom, weren't you supposed to jump onto this high wall? Why are you taking the lift?" Zhang Mo asked curiously.
"Mom can jump up, but there are three of you, and Mom can't bring three children up alone!" Huizi said with a smile.
She and these mercenaries had grown up after the elite forces were decimated in the last apocalypse war. They hadn't experienced any major battles, so they had never seen the Spider Queen.
As for the World Exterminators, they had seen them.
However, Xiaobai's appearance and age were vastly different from those of the World Exterminators. Moreover, World Exterminators killed everyone they saw. With Xiaobai's docile personality, she couldn't possibly be a World Exterminator.
So, they just thought Xiaobai looked a little familiar.
As for Zhang Mo, a three-year-old child, what strength could he possibly have?
Furthermore, neither the monster tide nor the Soul Organization + Black Ox Legion battles involved these three children.
Coupled with the fact that they had always stayed with the civilians, Huizi naturally assumed they were just ordinary children.
"Taking the lift is so much fun! Watching the height increase bit by bit is so interesting!" Xiaobai said with a smile.
"Yes, this kind of scenery is rarely seen!" Mo Ran chimed in.
"Okay, good kids, we'll go down from here. The fun and tasty places are in that forest over there, we'll be there soon!" Huizi said with a smile.
"Then... will we still take the lift down?" Xiaobai asked.
"Of course. Since you like taking the lift, we'll take the lift down again!" Huizi nodded and stroked Xiaobai's hair with a smile.
"Hooray, hooray, we get to do it again!" Xiaobai pulled Mo Ran and Zhang Mo, leading them onto the lift that had just been assembled.
Huizi exchanged glances with the other four mercenaries, and they also got in.
"Are they also going to eat fried chicken?" Seeing the four extra people, Xiaobai couldn't help but frown.
The more people there were, the less fried chicken each person would get. What if there wasn't enough to eat?!
"No, they are just guards protecting us. All the delicious food will be for you!" Huizi said with a smile, seemingly seeing through Xiaobai's thoughts.
"Oh, that's good then!" Xiaobai looked relieved and gazed at the distant scenery, chatting animatedly with Mo Ran.
They were just children, so their nerves were almost always in a state of excitement.
Only Zhang Mo remained silent.
He felt that his mother was a little strange, but he couldn't pinpoint exactly what was strange.
However, in terms of appearance, she was indeed his mother.
Zhang Mo frowned, looking unhappy throughout.
The lift creaked for a long time before descending to the ground. The sunlight was completely blocked by the high wall, and it was gradually getting dark inside the wall.
However, it was still bright outside the high wall, with the afterglow of the sunset painting the scenery a bloody red.
The tall mercenary took out a pickup truck from his ring and took the driver's seat.
Huizi sat in the passenger seat, letting the three children sit in the back row, while the other three mercenaries sat in the truck bed behind.
Vroom~
The engine roared, and the pickup truck began to move on the bumpy road.
"Oh, this is so boring. How much longer until we get there?" Xiaobai asked.
"It's in the forest ahead, we'll be there soon, just be patient!" Huizi said, turning her face and smiling.
"It's too bumpy in the car, and it's too slow. It's not even as fast as running!" Mo Ran's hands were intertwined with a strand of crystal-clear thread, constantly changing patterns, forming a five-pointed star, then a rhombus, and then shrinking into a ball.
"How about... we get off and race?" Xiaobai suggested.
"Okay, okay, that's a good idea. Where should we set the finish line?" Mo Ran's eyes lit up, and she quickly asked.
"Hmm... how about that big tree with yellow leaves at the edge of the forest? Whoever touches its trunk wins, what do you think?" Xiaobai poked her head out of the car window, looked around, and then pointed at a giant tree over a hundred meters tall with a diameter of about ten meters.
Mo Ran: "Okay, shall we start now?"
Xiaobai: "We agreed, no skills allowed!"
Mo Ran: "Mm, only hands and feet allowed!"
The three mercenaries sitting in the truck bed exchanged smiles, thinking:
"As expected of children, wanting to race outdoors in the apocalypse?"
"Even if you've gone through some trials in the apocalypse, what does it matter if your speed is only slightly faster than the bumpy pickup truck? Aren't you tired?"
"Save your energy, wouldn't it be better to keep it for escaping if you encounter monsters?"
The mercenaries looked down on Xiaobai and Mo Ran in front of them with disdain.
Suddenly, the car door opened, and Mo Ran and Xiaobai jumped out of the car, ignoring Huizi's dissuasion.
As soon as they landed, the two quickly fell behind the car.
"Tch, with this level, what's the point of racing?"
A mercenary shook his head helplessly and was about to tap on the car window to signal the driver to slow down and not to leave the two girls behind.
Just then, a sudden explosion sounded!
Boom!
Actually, there were two explosions, but they occurred almost simultaneously, making it sound like one.
Then, two large pits exploded on the ground.
Two figures, one black and one white, instantly rushed out, the wind they generated causing the pickup truck to sway violently, almost tipping over!
"What... what just happened?" Huizi and the mercenaries looked at each other in astonishment.
