Is that a little girl?
Zhang Chen blinked.
This little girl looked about seventeen or eighteen, just a bit older than Xiaobai, which was also evident from her physique.
However, her style of dress, her gaze, and the innocent feeling emanating from Xiaobai were almost the complete opposite.
The girl looked very pure and delicate on the outside.
But her eyes seemed to hold an indescribable feeling.
Although she was smiling, Zhang Chen faintly felt a sense of coldness and distance.
What was even stranger was that Sigman had led all the survivors out earlier and they had all been killed.
How could there be any survivors now?
Could it be... she had just woken up?!
Since she was from the previous batch of轮回者 (lunhui zhe -轮回者), and was in this vicinity, she should be allied with Buck and the others.
Given the arrogant attitude of that group, her showing such goodwill to Xiaobai was definitely suspicious.
"Dad, I want to introduce you to a new friend, Shirley!"
Xiaobai said with a smile.
Er Pang, having reverted to his small size, trotted over, carrying the thigh of the survivor he had just fought with, and wagged his tail as he dragged the corpse over.
"Good boy, Er Pang!"
Zhang Chen patted Er Pang's head behind him as encouragement, then reached out and touched the corpse.
Ding! Collection successful, congratulations on obtaining [Energy Core]*90,000, [Energy Crystal]*980,000+980,000 (triggered 30% chance of Light Blessing bonus), [Dark Red Ring]*1, [Unidentified Skill]*2...
Current [Super Energy Core]: 105, [Energy Core]: 399,000, [Energy Crystal]: 10,150,000!
"Oh, I'm so sorry. I saw Xiaobai wasn't collecting the corpses, and I thought you didn't need them!
I just collected them out of reflex, truly sorry. Otherwise... I could trade the resources to you!"
Shirley said with an innocent expression after seeing this.
"Heh, is it that easy to spit out something that's already in your stomach?"
Furthermore, Zhang Chen had a green ring, while Shirley had a dark red one, and they were incompatible, making trading impossible.
She probably already had an excuse prepared for what was to come.
What was her intention in approaching Xiaobai and himself?
"Xiaobai, tell Dad how you met this good friend. I want to know all the details!"
Zhang Chen gave Er Pang a look.
The latter paused for a moment, then understood, transformed into his enlarged form, and immediately blocked the alley's exit.
"Actually, it's like this..."
Xiaobai recounted the entire process in detail.
It turned out Xiaobai had been locked in a fierce battle with a guard who had just awakened.
In the end, Xiaobai once again achieved a breakthrough and forced the guard to spit blood.
Before dying, the guard specifically went to Shirley's side.
It was at this moment that Shirley awakened.
Her first action upon waking was to twist the guard's neck and collect his corpse.
Then, she gave Xiaobai candy.
Just like that, she easily became a good friend in Xiaobai's eyes.
One could only say... Xiaobai was easily fooled.
However, Zhang Chen, her father, was not so easily fooled.
"Tell me, what are your schemes?"
Zhang Chen asked.
"Me? What schemes could I have? I'm not allied with these people!"
"It's just that my strength is quite weak, only at the third stage of intermediate transformation. If I could be as powerful as you and Xiaobai..."
"I would definitely kill all these bad guys!"
Shirley shrugged, her face full of innocence.
At the same time, she instinctively hid behind Xiaobai. Although she didn't say much, her body language seemed to say:
"Xiaobai, your dad is so fierce, I'm so scared!"
"Heh, you manipulative b*tch, I don't believe you!"
The guard running to Shirley's side before dying indicated that, in the guard's eyes, Shirley was not an enemy.
This was completely contrary to Shirley's own description of wanting to kill them all.
Zhang Chen wasn't a detective, and he didn't have time to verify if Shirley was lying.
Under normal circumstances, Zhang Chen would have killed this woman on the spot to eliminate any future trouble.
But now... she claimed to be at the third stage of intermediate awakening?
A thought flashed through Zhang Chen's mind, and he realized a clever use for her!
[Void Walk]!
Zhang Chen's body gradually turned black, blending into the surrounding shadows, and then disappeared.
"Wow, Dad's getting stronger again! This is fun, Xiaobai wants to learn too, Xiaobai wants to play too!"
Xiaobai clapped her hands and laughed.
Shirley wasn't stupid. She knew Zhang Chen's disappearance meant he was coming for her.
"Xiaobai, can I play a game with you, sister?"
Shirley looked as if she was facing a great enemy, chatting with Xiaobai while her eyes quickly scanned the surroundings.
Searching for Zhang Chen's possible location.
"What game?"
Xiaobai asked.
"I'll hug you from behind, and then we'll see who finds your dad first, okay?"
Shirley said with a smile.
"Okay!"
Xiaobai nodded.
"Heh, this girl is so stupid!"
Shirley reached out and wrapped her arms around Xiaobai's neck from behind, but she didn't exert any force.
If Zhang Chen used any big killing move against her, he would have to hold back for Xiaobai's sake.
But... where was Zhang Chen?
Shirley kept adjusting her facing direction, searching for Zhang Chen's possible location.
Suddenly, a warm little hand rested on her forearm.
"Hm? It's Xiaobai!"
Whoosh!
Thump!
Xiaobai suddenly executed a shoulder throw, directly slamming Shirley onto the ground.
"Hmph, you're not my good friend at all! Xiaobai can see that Dad doesn't like you!"
"If Dad doesn't like you, Xiaobai won't like you either. I only agreed to play with you just now to trick you, you dummy!"
Xiaobai's strength was incredibly formidable.
She couldn't control energy, so all her energy was concentrated on strengthening her body.
She was definitely a terrifying physical attacker right now. In terms of strength, no survivor currently could match her.
Shirley was smashed heavily onto the ground. The asphalt road behind her was indented in a human-like shape.
Her eyes were seeing stars, her head was spinning, and she had no idea what had just happened.
At this moment, Zhang Chen suddenly appeared in front of her.
"Damn it!"
Before Shirley could react.
Zhang Chen quickly shattered a vial.
The liquid inside instantly turned into a cloud of dust and flew purposefully towards Shirley.
From her mouth, nostrils, and even the pores of her skin, it rapidly burrowed into her body.
Shirley forcefully shook her head, trying to resist the drug's control, but the next moment, she knelt obediently before Zhang Chen.
Did the drug work?!
