Chapter 345 Joint Collaboration

Mu Chengxuan did not expect Tang Xia to become so agitated all of a sudden. He was shocked by her outcry. He turned around and looked at Ye Yifan. The latter also knew that this was a burst of pent-up emotions.

Receiving the signal from Mu Chengxuan’s gaze, Ye Yifan quickly went up to her and wrapped his arms around her. He patted her back and comforted her gently. “It’s okay, we are not blaming you. Everyone is just feeling lost at this sudden turn of events so their words are a little harsh. Just ignore them.”

Tang Xia’s eyes started to turn red as she listened to his words. She sobbed and said, “Then what have I done to deserve them pushing the blame all onto me! I didn’t do anything!”

At this point in time, Mu Chengxuan was also a little embarrassed. He scratched his head as he watched Tang Xia let out her emotions. He also felt that he had gone overboard. Just when he was still contemplating whether or not to apologize to her, a bunch of people outside the basement started screaming.

At this point in time, Tang Xia could not care about anything else. She quickly calmed herself down and pushed away Ye Yifan. The trio rushed up to take a look.

However, when they reached upstairs, they saw something unexpected. All of the system-assigned individuals were attacking the streamers like crazy. Tang Xia and the rest stood there in a shock. They had no idea what was happening.

Seeing that a system-assigned man was about to attack one of the streamers, Tang Xia quickly picked up her gun and ran towards them. She shot at the system-assigned man until he dissipated.

“Are you okay?” Tang Xia helped the streamer up. Ye Yifan and Mu Chengxuan rushed to help as well. Seeing that there were more system-assigned people turning crazy, the trio was unable to save too many people.

“Everyone, listen to me! Raise the guns in your hands! We don’t know why these system-assigned characters started going crazy. Before we find out the reason, everyone please protect your own safety!”

Everyone heard what Tang Xia said. Although they were dissatisfied with Tang Xia, it was not a fight between Cross-era and Time-travel Bar anymore.

Tang Xia grabbed a submachine gun from somewhere. The familiar grip made her more skillful. With a dodge, she ran towards Mu Chengxuan. She hid from the surrounding system-assigned people and said anxiously, “Master Mu, now is not the time to settle our personal grudges. I think we should lay all things aside and take care of these people first.”

However, Mu Chengxuan raised his brows and snorted with disapproval. “Why? Didn’t you guys win already? No matter what’s the result, we can’t win anyway. Maybe we can return to the real world after being killed. Is there really a need to join forces?”

As soon as he said those words, Tang Xia had the urge to point the gun at his head. She took a deep breath to suppress the urge to shoot him. She lowered her voice and said, “Your way of thinking is very dangerous. Until now, no one knows whether or not there is a system crash. If it really crashed, then we would be really dead when we are killed. In that case, we would no longer be able to go back. Understand?”

Mu Chengxuan could not help but shiver when he heard that. He looked at her in shock. After thinking for a while, he suddenly stood up and shouted at all the Cross-era streamers, “Everyone, listen up! From now on, lay aside the grudges with Time-travel Bar! Right now, we shall save people first! We will settle the rest after everyone is safe!”

There was already a portion of those from Cross-era who died, leaving about three quarters behind. Hearing his command, they all braced themselves and started to destroy the system-assigned people.

Everyone charged towards Time-travel Bar’s castle full of energy. After all, they still did not know if those at the castle had fallen. Otherwise, it could still act as a safe harbor.

Mu Chengxuan, Tang Xia, and Ye Yifan were charging together in the frontline. However, the number of system-assigned individuals who woke up was increasing. No matter how many they killed, the same number of people would appear out of nowhere.

“What’s going on? Is there an end to killing them!” Mu Chengxuan could not help but scold. Tang Xia also did not know why they kept coming endlessly. They were like zombies, flowing towards them like a stream of water.

The streamers would be at the losing end if they used so much energy for a prolonged period. Soon, only a quarter remained. Even the most powerful soldiers could not win a war of attrition.

The remaining streamers from Cross-era and the unit in the frontline from Time-travel Bar fought for an unknown period of time. Finally, they saw Time-travel Bar’s base castle not far away.Read More chapter on our vi pnovel. com

“Everyone, charge! We’re reaching soon!” Tang Xia was emotional when she saw the castle. She felt hope in her heart, but she was afraid to go near because she was afraid that this hope would also turn into disappointment.

After annihilating two more people by his side, Ye Yifan quickly ran to her side. The way she was charging forward could cost her life. “Be careful! You already have a few bites on your body!”

Tang Xia did not mind. She wiped away the sweat on her forehead and said indifferently, “It’s okay. We will be there soon. I can bandage them after we reach the castle. Also, they are not real zombies, and I won’t mutate after I get bitten.”

Ye Yifan wanted to say something more but could only swallow them down. He could only stay behind her to protect her until they all reached the castle’s entrance.

However, when they arrived, they found a lot of streamers’ dead bodies. Tang Xia was hopeful at first but now stood rooted to the ground. Ye Yifan came in after her and his heart sank.

“Why… why did they fall too?” Tang Xia ran into the castle quickly. Standing behind them, Mu Chengxuan saw the scene and followed after her without saying a word. However, they also saw the same system-assigned people acting wantonly.

Tang Xia started going around shooting them like crazy. Ye Yifan could not stop her and could only let her be. He turned around and asked all streamers to come in. Then, they pushed the stone statues at both sides of the entrance together.

Mu Chengxuan looked at him with confusion. “What are you trying to do?” Ye Yifan gave him a cold look like he was looking at an idiot.

“Come and help me close the doors! At least the bunch outside can’t get in!” After Mu Chengxuan heard that, he also asked everyone to come and block the doors.

Everyone heaved out a sigh of relief instantly. Ye Yifan did not start to relax. He immediately grabbed his gun and charged upstairs. “Tang Xia! Don’t be rash!” After giving it some thoughts, Mu Chengxuan also decided to go up and help.

“You guys, go look for medical supplies and treat each other. We’ll go upstairs to take a look.” Everyone looked at each other. There were people from both companies in the remaining bunch. Although they did not get along well with each other, they did not have any opinions against the instructions and all nodded.

On the other side, Tang Xia rushed to the top of the building and saw a large number of system-assigned people being blocked at the door. Without saying anything, Tang Xia directly picked up her gun and started shooting at them. However, she ran out of bullets halfway through. The system-assigned people were rushing up.Read More chapter on our vi pnovel. com

Just then, Ye Yifan reached just in time and took care of the remaining people. Meanwhile, Tang Xia undermined them and they managed to bite onto her arm, tearing away a piece of her flesh.

Ye Yifan looked at her bloody arm and scolded her angrily immediately, “I already told you not to act rashly! Why can’t you listen to anything I say!” Tang Xia also knew that she was in the wrong. She just looked at her arm in pain and did not say anything.

When they eliminated all of the system-assigned people, the door that was blocking them was suddenly opened. Tang Xia and Ye Yifan were shocked. Then, they saw many streamers coming out of it.

“You guys… are still alive!” Tang Xia immediately stood up in excitement. At that moment, everyone saw how hard she worked and did not know what kind of expression they should look at her with.

Ye Yifan also thought that they were killed. He did not expect them to be in hiding instead. He instantly heaved a sigh of relief.

“We didn’t know what happened. Suddenly, all the virtual characters started attacking us like crazy. We could only hide in here. However, we still lost many of us.”

At this moment, Mu Chengxuan caught up with them. Ye Yifan pondered for a while and eventually decided to let everyone gather here. Then, he brought all the remaining medical supplies in the castle here and organized them.

“We lost too many people when we were charging forward earlier.” Mu Chengxuan looked at the remaining streamers, and the whole atmosphere became solemn.

Tang Xia also did not know how to comfort them. She could only receive the treatment from the logistical personnel silently. At this moment, there was chaos among the streamers. Someone stood up suddenly and shouted, “We might as well just die. Perhaps we can return to the real world when we are dead!”

Then, everyone started shouting to support him. Tang Xia stood up suddenly and scolded, “You guys are too naive! Even if it is just a system failure, if we die, the live broadcast exceeds what the streamer’s body can handle and we may still die!”

As soon as she said that, the streamers causing the chaos suddenly panicked. The whole situation was much uncontrollable than before. Tang Xia frowned. She was feeling annoyed by their noisiness. She continued, “But you guys don’t need to worry! It’s already been so long, so the people outside are probably fixing it already! They will not leave us alone!”

As soon as her voice fell, Ye Yifan, who had been sitting at the back silently, suddenly stood up. He looked at her solemnly and said in a deep voice, “But I think we should take the initiative. After all, this time is vastly different than before. If the system really crashed, the people outside might not necessarily have the power to fix it.”

What he said caused her to think about the situation when Chu Tiankuo disappeared. During then, Chu Tiankuo also took the initiative and sent them out. Otherwise, their lives would be at stake at that moment. How could they then live until now?
