Chapter 697 The interception point (1)

Translator: 549690339

Summer bug got into the Jeep expressionlessly, adjusted the seat forward, and started the engine.

Following the pebbled path, they drove out.

It was only then that Lu Xin realized that the central city team had settled down in a large, luxuriously decorated Manor. He couldn’t help but sigh. The central city was amazing. They even chose such a good place to settle down.

Qingang was different, and they were still living in hotels

The car drove all the way out of the manor, then through the streets and alleys of Black Swamp city, and went straight to a steel suspension bridge leading to the South. Along the rammed earth road in the middle of the swamps on both sides, the speed became faster and faster, and the car lights were like sharp swords as they waved into the distance.

Xia Chong was a man of few words, and so was Lu Xin.

So, the two of them hurried on the road together. The atmosphere was extremely quiet, far less interesting than when the lizard drove.

After driving for about two hours, they passed by an abandoned village. Summer bug checked the map and turned directly into it. She drove slowly along the rugged road, her eyes carefully scanning both sides of the road.

Lu Xin finally couldn’t hold it in any longer and asked softly, “”Are you looking for something?”

“I’m looking for a complete door.”

I’ve found a door like this, ” summer bug said. I can take you through the abyss and rush to the stop point we set. Then, we can use this door as the center point and go back and forth. However, with my current endurance, I can only travel from here to the interception point. After reaching the interception point, it will be much easier for me to travel back to the encirclement of red mud town.”

of course, for a short period of time, I can only do a single shuttle. Otherwise, the pressure will be too great.

“Oh, oh.”

Lu Xin finally understood and asked curiously, ” you can only use your power with a complete door? ”

“No.”

an incomplete door is fine, “summer bug said. but I like a complete door.

Lu Xin didn’t know what to say.

This reason was actually very powerful. It was not good to shuttle through an incomplete door, so what could he do?

Fortunately, as long as it was a human gathering point, there would definitely be a lot of doors.

Even though the town had obviously been abandoned for many years, after they drove for 100 meters, they still found a door covered in dust and withered grass, but it was still relatively intact. Summer bug parked the Jeep by the side of the road, pushed the door open, and got out.

As Lu Xin followed behind her, he suddenly recalled something.

“If you rush to red mud town from the interception point, what about this car?”

Summer bug gave him a strange look and said, “”I’ll come back to get it or just throw it away. What’s wrong?”

“It’s nothing,”

Lu Xin felt as if he had lost another level of authority, so he shook his head and fell silent.

The door did satisfy summer bug, but it hadn’t been opened for a long time, and the door had been blocked by mud and rust.

Xia Chong pushed the door twice but did not push it open. She took a few steps back, lifted her skirt, ran up a few steps, and gave a flying kick.

The door was kicked open, and a swarm of bats flew out.

Lu Xin took a few steps back and stood behind Xia Chong.

Summer bug, on the other hand, watched the bat fly past her without blinking.

After the bats had left, she went forward to check on them and nodded in satisfaction. She closed the door and reached out her hand to Lu Xin.

Lu Xin took a moment to react before he rushed forward to grab her hand.

This was business.

Xia Chong took a deep breath and opened the door again. She pulled Lu Xin into the abyss.

It was a completely different feeling to enter the abyss in such an abandoned town. It felt extremely empty and vast. The dark red soil on the ground and the number of withered hands growing on the ground were much fewer. It was like a depressed desert.

However, Xia Chong and Lu Xin had no time to care about this. They held hands as they flew through the dark red Desert.

In the wilderness, although there were fewer skinny hands, they were still very fierce. They opened their sharp claws and clawed at the summer worm.

Lu Xin saw that Xia Chong’s legs had been cut by countless sharp nails, and blood was dripping from them.

He couldn’t stand it anymore, so when they passed through a thorny Bush formed by withered hands again, he deliberately raised his foot and stepped on it. Suddenly, the palm seemed to have sensed something terrifying and started twitching violently.

It even let out a strange squeak, then hurriedly shrank into the desert, trembling.

“What?”

Xia Chong was surprised to see this and turned to look at Lu Xin.

However, since they were in the abyss, she didn’t ask any questions. Instead, she pulled Chu Xin and increased her speed again.

The abyss was a strange world. Although it corresponded to the real world, its composition and proportion were greatly distorted.

That was why aptitude users like summer worms could use this distortion to achieve rapid shuttling within a certain distance.

However, the distance in the real world would also be reflected in the abyss to a certain extent.

Because they had traveled a long distance this time, they took a long time to travel.

Lu Xin felt that they had been traveling in the abyss for about five minutes before summer bug slowed down slightly. Under the guidance of an honest-looking worm on her arm, she walked toward a black ring, which was a door.

With another flying kick, the door was kicked open, and he pulled Lu Xin along as he rushed in.

“Hu  ”

The door closed behind him, and Lu Xin could hear the summer worm’s heavy breathing.

It could be seen that the five minutes of travelling in the abyss seemed to be her limit.

“Are you alright?”

Lu Xin asked with concern as he reached out to look for Xia Chong.

“Don’t pinch my nose.”

Xia Chong, who was hiding in the dark, reminded Lu Xin. Lu Xin quickly retracted his hand.

When he touched a round and chubby face just now, he realized that it was summer bug’s face. He went down and grabbed her arm.

After helping her up, he fumbled around in his bag and found a lighter.

The friction between the gears caused a small flame to spring up.

They found themselves in a chaotic space. There were toppled shelves everywhere, covered in cobwebs and dust. It was like an abandoned warehouse. There were sealed spaces everywhere, and they didn’t even know how to find a way out.

“Follow me.”

“I saw the road when I came out,” Xia Chong said in a low voice.

Although the abyss and reality were distorted and exaggerated, one could still see a little bit of reality from the abyss.

However, this required an experienced abyssal ability user like summer worm to do so.

Lu Xin naturally followed Xia Chong’s advice and lit the path for her.

The two of them took a few steps, turned a corner, and jumped out of a broken window. They saw the sky full of stars.

They were now at the edge of a desolate town. There were collapsed buildings everywhere, as well as trees that were growing through gaps.

Because no one had cut down and repaired them, these trees had already taken 30 years to grow into evil shapes. Fortunately, it was still winter, and the branches were sparse. Only then could they see the sparse starry sky and the red Moon sitting heavily on the ruins.

They climbed over a few rows of collapsed walls and looked into the distance under the light of the Crimson Moon.

In the dark red wilderness, there was only silence. The world was so quiet that it seemed dead.

judging from the route, the spiritual monster should be coming from right in front of us.

Xia Chong gasped for breath before she gradually recovered. She turned to Lu Xin and said, ”

“The most important thing for us is to force the monster to return the way it came.”

it doesn’t matter if it breaks through directly or detours from another direction. It means that our mission has failed.

“That’s why I’ll summon the abyssal creatures that I’ve just signed a contract with. They’ll help you guard two directions.”

“This  ”

Lu Xin pondered for a moment before shaking his head. “No need,”

Summer bug looked at him in confusion.

Lu Xin thought for a moment before explaining with a smile, ” you guys came to me because the monster is afraid of me. I can roughly guess what it’s afraid of. So, if I want to force the monster to go back the way it came, I can only go back to the state when it was afraid of me.

“I can do it if I work hard.”

however, when I enter that state, my self-control will be a little worse.

Then, he looked at Xia Chong and said, “”If you stay by my side, it will be very dangerous.”

“It’s very dangerous  ”

Xia Chong furrowed her brows and looked at Lu Xin, but all she saw was his calm expression.

After a quick calculation, she looked up at Lu Xin hesitantly and asked, “”Are you sure you can do it alone?”

Lu Xin shook his head with a smile. “Don’t worry,”

He was not alone.

However, he didn’t go into detail, afraid that he would scare summer insects in the middle of the night.

Seeing his confident smile, summer bug quickly made a decision. “Since that’s the case, I’ll go back and help them,”

Xia Chong did not waste any time and turned to leave.

After taking a few steps, he suddenly turned to Lu Xin and said, ” Captain Shan Bing, I know you’re strong, but you have to be careful here. Otherwise, that skinny woman from qingang will definitely find trouble with me.

“A bamboo pole?”

Lu Xin took a moment to realize that she was talking about han Bing. He smiled and said, “”I know.”

In fact, han Bing was not a bamboo pole. He was tall and naturally looked thinner, but he had everything that he should have.

The summer bug continued to walk forward, trying to find a complete door to leave.

Just as her figure was about to disappear into the ruins, Lu Xin suddenly remembered something and called out, “”Wait  ”

Xia Chong quickly turned around and looked at Lu Xin curiously.

Lu Xin hesitated for a moment before saying, “”The two million you mentioned earlier, do you want to transfer it to your card or cash?”

“Hu  ”

Xia Chong heaved a sigh of relief and said seriously, ” card transfer. Regardless of whether the capture mission is successful or not, transfer the card immediately after returning to the central city.

“Alright,” he said.

Lu Xin gratefully smiled at Xia Chong.
