Chapter 266: Let Me Show You My Safe House
Defecting?
Song Jian glanced at Qi Yun and sneered, “Dare to defect, and I’ll kill you!”
“No, no, I don’t dare, I don’t dare!” Qi Yun shook his head repeatedly.
System: You intimidate the slave Qi Yun, increasing his loyalty by 5 points;
Song Jian was taken aback, this worked as well?
“Tell me, why did you come after me?” Song Jian looked at Qi Yun and asked.
“Actually, we are members of the assassination team of Gathering Area 101. The reason we came here is that Gathering Area 101 has issued a warrant for you…”
Half an hour later, Song Jian finally found out that it was still because of the trouble he had caused when he saved Dr. Ebsiting at the garbage station.
“Gathering Area 101? Haha…”
“Song – no, Master, you must not underestimate Gathering Area 101. It is one of the 500 safe havens created by humanity after the Doomsday catastrophe. By now, all other safe havens have been destroyed, leaving only this Gathering Area 101.” Qi Yun said.
“All the other gathering areas have been destroyed, leaving only this one?” Song Jian couldn’t help but sneer, “Then how did the City of Sin and the City of Holy Light come about?”
If Gathering Area 101 were really that strong, it would have become 101 City by now, rather than still being just a gathering area.
The essence of a gathering area in the wilderness is no different from the level two Manor Castle built by Song Jian, except that Gathering Area 101 covers a larger area than Song Jian’s Manor Castle.
“Gathering Area 101 not only has complete facilities but also has many hunting teams, assassination squads, and even its own affiliated corps – Storm Legion!” Qi Yun said.
“Storm Legion? This name sounds familiar; it seems like I’ve heard it on the radio,” Song Jian murmured, “That’s right. How many people are in the Storm Legion?”
“Storm Legion has a total of 800 elite professionals,” Qi Yun said.
“Only 800 people? And they dare to call themselves a legion?” Song Jian couldn’t help but say.
“To support 800 people is already the limit for Gathering Area 101. However, if possible, Gathering Area 101 can launch a battle involving more than 30,000 people at any time!” Qi Yun said, “After all, Gathering Area 101 shelters many wanderers, many of whom have taken it as their home and are willing to fight for it. There is no shortage of such people!”
“Moreover, according to rumors, Gathering Area 101 has already begun preparations for creating a city for the third time. If it succeeds, it will be on par with major forces like the City of Sin and the City of Holy Light. By then, even more, people would be willing to settle in Gathering Area 101!” Qi Yun said.
Song Jian nodded, his heart feeling slightly heavy. After all, it was a major power that had existed for decades after the Doomsday catastrophe. In the beginning, it was probably just an ordinary human without a background who had created Gathering Area 101 from scratch through his own strength. If what Qi Yun said was true, the person who created Gathering Area 101 was really remarkable.
Now, such a force which has been developing for decades wanted to hunt him down. It would be false to say that he was not worried since, after all, he only had one life in this game!
“Okay, when do you think they’ll send another assassination team after this failure?” Song Jian stared at Qi Yun and asked.
Qi Yun hesitated for a moment and said, “Actually, there was a problem with the teleportation device we used. Our team originally had five members, but one of them was torn apart by the spatial forces during the teleportation. Another one was seriously injured and died shortly after arriving, leaving only three people…”
“The team leader, no, Ma Jiang, is now alone. He is likely to give up on the assassination mission and go back to report the information. I estimate that they won’t dispatch another assassination team until the researchers have perfected the teleportation device. In the short term, there should be no more assassination teams entering this city…”
Song Jian nodded slightly, realizing that he should be safe for the time being. Before Gathering Area 101 completed perfecting their teleportation device, he needed to improve his level and strength as much as possible.
“Let’s go, continue hunting monsters. Keep an eye on my Vitality Points!” Song Jian said as he summoned the wounded Black Dragon hatchling. Qi Yun immediately used her healing wand to restore the hatchling’s vitality points to full.
Roar-
With a roar from the Black Dragon hatchling, five or six level-15 mutant zombies were lured out. Song Jian flexed his wrist, summoning the Crimson Fire Heart Ape Sword. With a flourish, he jogged towards the monsters.
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh –
As Song Jian danced around, his dark red sword flew, releasing dazzling silver light. Facing five or six mutant zombies, Song Jian made no defensive moves, choosing instead to endure their attacks and annihilate them, displaying a reckless, do-or-die attitude.
The Black Dragon hatchling nearby was also continuously spewing Dragon Breath, swinging its claws and tail, and tearing into the fallen mutant zombies.
Gradually, the noise from the battle attracted a large number of mutant zombies. In no time, dozens of level-15 monsters surrounded Song Jian.
“Watch my health and heal me!” Song Jian shouted, rushing into the monster horde without backing off, chopping down the nearby monsters.
As Song Jian’s Vitality Points gradually decreased, Qi Yun’s hands trembled slightly from a distance. After a while, she sighed helplessly, waved her short wand, and released Healing Skill to restore Song Jian’s Vitality Points.
Song Jian, who was in the midst of the monsters, could feel the healing effect and the corner of his mouth curled into a smile. As for this slave whose loyalty was bordering on betrayal, he didn’t fully trust her. Using only seventy percent of his strength, he left himself a small margin for safety. If Qi Yun dared to betray him, he could guarantee that he could break free of the encircling monsters.
Like this, Song Jian continued to fight for several hours. Only when Qi Yun’s Spirit Points were depleted did he use the Immortal Sword Body and make his way out with the Black Dragon hatchling.
Although they had killed hundreds of level-15 mutant zombies, there was no noticeable reduction in the tide of monsters chasing after Song Jian. They pursued him relentlessly.
Song Jian summoned his motorcycle, returned the Black Dragon hatchling to the Pet Space, and shouted at Qi Yun, “Get on!”
Qi Yun hurriedly sat on the back of the motorcycle. With a roar, a plume of black smoke erupted from the exhaust pipe, and the motorcycle sped off like a bolt of lightning, heading towards Song Jian’s Manor Castle.
“Haha, this is the thrill of monster hunting!” Song Jian laughed heartily against the wind. A complex expression appeared on Qi Yun’s face as she stared at Song Jian’s back, deep in thought.
The two quickly returned to Song Jian’s Manor Castle. Seeing the now level two safe house, Qi Yun’s face showed surprise.
“Is this your safe house? You already created one for yourself?” Qi Yun could hardly believe her eyes.
“This is Doomsday City, with so many monsters inside. Won’t they attack here?” Qi Yun couldn’t help but ask. It should be noted that creating a safe house in the wilderness wasn’t an easy task. Many ambitious individuals had attempted to imitate Gathering Area 101, creating their own safe areas, but in the end, they were all ruined under the siege of countless monsters.
Although the overall number of monsters in Doomsday City was smaller than the wilderness, the density was considerably higher – at least ten or even a hundred times more!
Song Jian smiled faintly but did not explain. Instead, he summoned the Black Dragon hatchling and let it play around on its own. After all, if a pet was kept in Pet Space for too long, its Intimacy Level would decrease.
“Come in and take a look. How many people do you think Gathering Area 101 will need to send to take down my Manor Castle?” Song Jian turned around and stared at Qi Yun while asking.
