Chapter 120: Crow Mouth

Chapter 120: Crow Mouth

Perhaps Zheng Yingyings words might have touched Jiang He, for Qian Wei felt that Jiang Hes expression seemed to soften, but what he said next had Qian Wei very astounded.

You take her to find Jin Cheng.

Me? Qian Wei pointed at his own nose: Me???

Jiang He: Yes, you. You know Jin Cheng and Tang Cuo, dont you? Take her and go find them. As for why youre looking for him, youll know when you see him.

Like a monk who couldnt find his hair, Qian Wei was absolutely lost. Wasnt he captured as a prisoner? Why would they let him take the lead in finding Jin Cheng and Tang Cuo? Werent they afraid that he would immediately double-cross them at that point?

Wait.

Do you know each other? Qian Wei quickly cast a glance at Zheng Yingyings direction. He did feel that Zheng Yingyings behaviour back in the asylum ward was a little strange; clearly, she knew them.

Zheng Yingying didnt answer. She just looked at Jiang He and asked: Why?

Jiang He: Its a two-way choice between you and me. I chose you, and now its your turn to choose me. I still have something to do, if everything goes well, after its over, Ill go to Jin Cheng to find you. By then, you can decide whether to follow me or not.

Meng Yufei frowned, wondering what Jiang He was calculating. Hearing this, his mind couldnt help but go wild. Jiang He didnt mention him at all. Since it was impossible for him to go to Jin Cheng anyway, didnt this mean he would be free?

Exactly as he was thinking so, Jiang He suddenly looked over and said: Youll come with me.

Meng Yufei pursed his lips, wanting to say something, but he held back and only let out a cold snort.

Zheng Yingying looked at him, then at Qian Wei, half of her face consistently hidden in the shadow of her hood while showing a blank expression. A long moment later, she seemed to finally come to a decision and nodded.

In the end, she added another sentence: If you dont come, I wont forgive you.

Jiang He put on a rarely-seen smile: Okay. Remember what I gave you, dont take it out unless theres a good reason to.

Out of the blue, Qian Wei received a mission that was impossible to refuse and now had to leave with Zheng Yingying. Luckily, Zheng Yingying didnt let him lead the way; he just had to follow behind.

There were still living corpses wandering on the street at present, but thanks to Jin Chengs grace, all the living corpses were coming in his direction. If other players turned up on the street, unless they approached within five meters from the living corpses, they wouldnt be attacked.

Qian Wei was aware of this, but for some strangest reason, he could only walk close to Zheng Yingying, afraid of entering the attack range of the living corpses. Looking at it from a distance, a tall man who was nearly 1.8-meter tall was tailing a little girl who wasnt even 1.5-meter tall, not to mention his posture was nowhere as upright as the little girls. This made a rather funny sight.

Zheng Yingying rescued Qian Wei before, so theoretically, he should be grateful. But looking at Zheng Yingyings back, Qian Wei only felt his heart pounding and brimmed with unease.

In the end, before they even made it very far, Scarlets voice once again spread throughout the whole zone.

Qian Weis mouth gaped with surprise: This is too ruthless, who is this woman?

Zheng Yingying frowned. Jiang He only briefly talked about Scarlet and the siege of the city that happened a year ago. Besides that, she didnt know much about Scarlet either. Now that she heard this voice, things were obviously not as simple as Jiang He said.

She subconsciously wanted to go back, but Qian Wei quickly stopped her: Where are you going? Even if we head back now, they certainly have left!

As soon as these words left his lips, Qian Wei regretted it immediately. What was he doing? Wouldnt he be free if she went back? If he went to find big boss Jin Cheng now, he might get tangled in even bigger danger.

See now? My mouth acts too fast!

Sure enough, Zheng Yingying clenched her fists tightly, paused for a few seconds, then turned around and strode forward. Qian Weis heart was in a mess, still wondering whether he should run away, but the moment his eyes caught Zheng Yingying turning her head, it simply told him: catch up with her.

Qian Wei had to continue following her.

Zheng Yingying didnt know Jin Chengs exact location, yet she didnt put her hope on Qian Wei either. Seeing that the living corpses around her seemed to be moving in the same direction, she directly went after them.

Her thoughts were simple: since the moving direction of the living corpse roughly coincided with the place where the signal flare was fired from, and for people like Jin Cheng, wherever he was, all the attention would point there. The chance of him being there was greater than any other place.

But the journey wasnt extremely smooth.

First of all, they were almost at the edge of Zone E, which was far away from the central area, and because they didnt want to provoke the living corpses, they chose to walk through secluded alleys.

Secondly, before they were halfway there, the direction of the living corpses suddenly changed, and they were caught in a dilemma whether they should change their course.

He always thought it would be near impossible for life to be this coincidental. Whoever was planning this big conspiracy had accidentally exposed it to him, a total small-fry. Who wouldve expected such a chance encounter? Listening carefully, he didnt manage to catch the complete sentence, but he heard the three words Chong Yanzhang.

This is bad.

Qian Wei wanted to slap himself, what a crow mouth I am. EvenMr. Crows mouth wasnt as stinky as this. He started blinking madly at Zheng Yingying, then waiting for the footsteps outside the door to fade away, he quickly said: My top-student classmate told me that if we want to survive, we have to suppress our curiosity. We still have time to leave.

Zheng Yingying: You know who Yao Qing is?

Qian Wei: Isnt he just a member of Lawless? Each elite team in Zone A has their own name, Lawless is one of them. Yao Qing is nicknamed The Puppeteer, and hes said to be very powerful. His mechanical puppets can break through sky and dive into land, theyre basically omnipotent.

Zheng Yingying: How do they compare against Heavens Will?

Qian Wei: Its 50-50, but Heavens Will has collapsed, while Lawless is still here, and they have many members too. Because Yao Qing confronted Jin Cheng last time and was tricked into jail

Speaking on and on, Qian Wei couldnt stop. On normal days, he was often the student who listened to Peng Mingfans lectures, so this was a rare opportunity for him to appear cool. The words were spewed out even before they got processed by his brain.

By the time he realised that Zheng Yingyings eyes were gleaming more and more brightly, he hurriedly covered his mouth, but it was too late.

Lets blend in and take a look. Zheng Yingying gave a final decision.

At the same time, Tang Cuo and Jin Cheng had arrived near Black Hats Miscellaneous Store.

Because the number of remaining living corpses wasnt small and Jin Cheng was still their absolute goal, Lily took Chi Yan to walk another path. Meanwhile, Tang Cuo and Jin Cheng kept parkouring across the roofs, occupying the high ground so as not to be obstructed by the living corpses.

But Wen Xiaoming was still missing.

The worst case is that he has been infected by corpse poison. Tang Cuo stood on the edge of the roof and looked down.

Although Wen Xiaoming isnt strong enough, his title of Equipment Master didnt spread far for no reason, not to mention hes clever. These mindless living corpses shouldnt be able to lay a finger on him, unless hes been killed and got sent to Zone G, or held captive somewhere. Jin Cheng said.

Scarlet didnt give them much time, and it was obviously not a wise move to go to Zone G to investigate at this juncture. Because if Wen Xiaoming was indeed caged in a cell in Zone G, it would actually keep him safe.

If he was infected by corpse poison, he would be lying on the ground as a corpse, so there would be no way to save him until this whole matter was resolved anyway. The only troublesome possibility was that he was captured or trapped somewhere outside of Zone G.

In Tang Cuo and Jin Chengs view, Black Hats Miscellaneous Store swaggeringly stood there. Tang Cuo looked at it and suddenly said: If we go to the Infinite Market of Dreams to exchange for the clues about the 2nd Movement, is that possible?

Jin Cheng stroked his chin: Your idea sounds very good, the line of thought is smart, but the Infinite Market of Dreams should only allow exchanges of things that have a tangible existence, such as physical objects or spells. I think it wont work for clues.

After a pause, he raised the corner of his mouth and spoke with a hint of relish: But we can try, theres nothing to lose. Scarlet wants to fish, yet the fish hasnt taken the bait. Both sides have to be more patient. Maybe Scarlet is staring at us in a corner right now. We could go to the Miscellaneous Store and drag Black Hat into the water with us.

Tang Cuo didnt say anything, but he felt that this suggestion wasnt bad at all.

The two then headed to the lower ground to Black Hats Miscellaneous Store. Since at the moment, Jin Cheng was pretty much possessed by Tang Seng [Tang Seng] refers to the courtesy title of Xuanzang, also known as Tang Sanzang, the Buddhist monk in the classic Chinese novel Journey to The West. Along the journey, Tang Seng is constantly terrorised by monsters and demons due to a legend which says that one can attain immortality by consuming his flesh because he is a reincarnation of a holy being., everyone in the zone could locate his specific location by looking at the direction the living corpses were moving. As such, the two of them didnt bother keeping a low profile and, one after another, jumped directly from the top of the building, their postures both fierce, unrestrained and completely free.

A bunch of living corpses had gathered at the foot of the buildings. Before the two even touched the ground, one drew his sword and the other drew his bow, and with Tang Cuos sword aura and Jin Chengs bow silhouette both moving so furiously, they charged into the group of living corpses. In just a blink of the eye, the surrounding living corpses fell down like wheat that was being harvested in autumn, and the other players on all sides could only be stunned.

After the battle, Tang Cuo withdrew his sword, while Jin Cheng stood behind him with a smile, kicking the last living corpse down.

Two men. Double the dominating aura.

In all directions, the people who had poked their necks out to watch immediately pulled their heads back, frightened to the core. One Jin Cheng was already enough to make people flustered, why was there another one now? Yu Yiyi, who happened to be walking out of the Infinite Market of Dreams, immediately grabbed his teammates arm and pulled him back.

Why did Jin Cheng and his romantic target come here? When did his target become so strong? How exactly does Yong Ye City allocate the Strength value, based on the face? Yu Yi leaned over to the window to peek, thinking left and right, feeling that it was certainly not a wise move to walk out at this time.

If Jin Cheng continued to ask about the clues regarding Scarlets phylactery, how should he answer? Being a smart man, Yu Yiyi was familiar with making associations; give him a butterfly, and he likely could imagine a blizzard all the way in Siberia.An equivalent to butterfly effect in the English language.

Lets go in again and hide somewhere. Yu Yiyi quickly made a decision, pulled his still bewildered teammate and re-entered the Infinite Market of Dreams.

In any case, different groups of guests wouldnt enter the same space, so as long as they hid inside, even the gods wouldnt be able to find them.

The author has something to say:

Qian Wei: Probably the first person to die in Yong Ye City because of his big mouth.
