It's the darkest time at five o'clock in the morning, when the sun has not yet risen and the new moon is almost setting.
Thousands of miles away from Area 24, on the edge of the Beta restricted zone, in the eerie and silent dense forest, several dazzling lights suddenly lit up, attracting the attention of dozens of wolf-shaped cursed creatures.
"Boom boom boom..."
What followed was an extremely deafening roar of the engine, which directly angered every wolf in their group.
They are one of the kings on the edge of the β-forbidden zone, and the area they are now in is their fixed resting place. On the edge of the β-forbidden zone, no creature has ever dared to break into their territory and disturb them so unreasonably.
of rest.
"howl!!!"
Following the roar of the alpha wolf, dozens of wolf-shaped cursed creatures instantly assumed an offensive posture at the same time.
Just waiting for the prey to appear, they swarm it and tear it into pieces.
"Young City Master! Oh no! It's the C-level Decay Wolf King and the D-level Decay Demonic Wolf Pack!"
With a sudden exclamation, a convoy of five modified off-road vehicles appeared within the sight of the wolves.
"What are you afraid of? As long as Grandpa Xiahou is here, even if a group of C-level rotten wolf kings come, they won't be able to cause any trouble."
Just when the wolves were about to swarm forward, another disdainful voice sounded, and then a long-haired old man in a wheelchair appeared in front of the wolves.
This old man is amazing. He is obviously pushing his wheelchair forward, but his speed is not slower than that of a high-speed off-road vehicle.
"Ouch!!!"
Almost as soon as the old man appeared, the alpha wolf seemed to be suppressed by his bloodline. He let out a wailing cry that showed no momentum, and signaled his men to continue charging. He was the first to turn around and retreat with his tail between his legs.
"Ha! Where to run?"
After the old man sneered, he slapped his hands on the wheelchair, and his body jumped over the pack of wolves that were rushing towards him, chasing in the direction where the first wolf was escaping.
"Devil's Feet!"
When the old man was about to land, his empty trouser legs suddenly gathered together and formed a pair of black feet, like the hind feet of a dinosaur.
"die!"
With the support of his black feet, the old man quickly attacked the wolf like a bullet.
"Boom!"
The huge speed difference caused the old man to quickly hit the escaping alpha wolf. In the violent collision, the latter turned into pieces of bone and flesh all over the sky.
"two?"
The old man was slightly surprised and grabbed the two claws that were not completely shattered by the collision, but soon a look of disgust appeared on his face instead of the surprise.
"Unlucky! The two cursed objects left by the C-level alpha wolf are both D-level..."
After muttering silently, the old man casually threw the two paws in his hand to the waiter who was pushing the wheelchair over to him.
"Thank you, Advisor Xiahou, for the reward!"
The waiter who hurriedly took the paw was overjoyed and bowed to the old man.
"It's just some rags. It doesn't have to be like this. Push the wheelchair over to me quickly."
The old man waved his hand and said condescendingly.
His body is extremely thin, but with the support of the cursed object's feet, he is almost half taller than the waiter who is nearly 1.8 meters tall.
"Okay, right away!"
The waiter hurriedly pushed the wheelchair to the old man and carefully helped the old man sit in the wheelchair.
"Pa bang bang..."
After the old man sat down, a young man with a feminine and ruffian appearance walked up to him while applauding, and praised him with admiration:
"With one move, he destroyed the C-level cursed creature, the Decaying Demonic Wolf King. Grandpa Xiahou is truly one of the three strongest advisors of our Xu family. His strength really amazes us juniors!"
"Young City Master, I'm very impressed. With your talent, when you reach my age, you will definitely be stronger than me."
The old man smiled and waved his hands.
"Grandpa Xiahou..."
Seeing that the old man was taking advantage of him, the young man subconsciously prepared to continue sending rainbow farts, but the roar of a motorcycle interrupted his speech.
"what happened?"
The young man put away his smile and looked behind him calmly.
"Master, it's me!"
A man wearing a motorcycle suit made a handsome flick of his motorcycle and stopped in front of the young man.
"Old Zhao?"
The young man recognized the motorcycle man's voice.
"it's me."
"What are you doing in such a hurry?"
"Master, I have something to send you."
"Wouldn't it be nice to just make a phone call?"
"There is no signal station in our urban area in this beta restricted area..."
"Why do we have to..." The young man subconsciously wanted to question, but soon seemed to realize something, and silently moved closer to the motorcycle man.
The motorcycle man also tacitly opened some of his windshields so that the young man could put his ears in.
"And such a good thing?!"
After a while, the young man pulled his ears back and screamed excitedly.
But he soon realized his gaffe.
"Cough cough cough..."
After adjusting his excitement a little, he turned around and shouted to the motorcade behind him:
"The itinerary has changed! From now on, all the itineraries in the beta restricted area are cancelled. Put away all the hunting tools for me, and we will rush directly to the twenty-fourth area!"
…
At one o'clock in the morning, outside the door of Room 303 in the guest room area of Hongye Villa:
"Have you been here all day?"
Fang Rui looked at Zhao Yan who was guarding the door and asked.
"Not really."
Zhao Yan shook her head, looked at the door of 302 next door and said:
"I stay next door most of the time. I only occasionally come to the door here to ask Sister Wang if she has anything to eat or if she wants to go out for a walk."
"She stayed in there the whole time, not eating or drinking?"
Fang Rui frowned slightly.
After coming out of the world inside the 'World Rubik's Cube' yesterday, Wang Chen asked him for a guest room and locked himself in it.
At that time, he thought that Wang Chen just needed some time to calm down and would be able to adjust quickly.
Now it seems that he still misjudged the importance of Xu Bufan in Wang Chen's heart.
"Well. Not only is he not eating or drinking, but there is no movement at all, which is very worrying."
Zhao Yan nodded worriedly at first, and then asked with a puzzled look:
"What on earth were you talking about? Why is Sister Wang acting like this suddenly?"
"I……"
"ah!!!"
Just when Fang Rui didn't know how to answer Zhao Yan, a scream suddenly came from the room 303, and then the door that had been closed for a day was suddenly pushed open violently. He smelled of alcohol, his hair was messy behind him, and his clothes were missing.
Wang Chen, who had changed his shoes and didn't wear any shoes, rushed out of the house.
"Fang Rui! Hurry! Let's go back to District 24! By chance, she will be here soon!"
As soon as he rushed out, Wang Chen grabbed Fang Rui's hand and pulled the latter directly out.
"No, there's no rush..."
Fang Rui wanted to grab Wang Chen's wrist and persuade him not to worry.
But he was caught off guard, and instead of grabbing Wang Chen, he was directly dragged away by Wang Chen.
"Zhao Yan, help me get some casual clothes!"
Zhao Yan originally wanted to catch up, but Wang Chen's instructions made her change direction and run into 302 next door.
"Why are you in such a hurry?"
Fang Rui, who was being dragged away, asked helplessly.
It wasn't that he couldn't hold Wang Chen, but the latter was pulling too hard, and he was afraid that he would forcefully stop Wang Chen and hurt the latter.
"Didn't I say that? Ruoqiao will be here soon!"
"But don't rush this moment! Are you sure your condition is okay?"
"What can be wrong with me? I'm in great shape!"
"Then why did Zhao Yan call you outside your door for a whole day and you didn't respond at all?"
"I fell asleep!"
"Slept all day?"
"right."
"Then where does your smell of alcohol come from?"
"The wine in the room was okay, so I drank some before going to bed."
"Then how do you explain the smashed bed and furniture in the room?"
"Can you see this?"
"I'm not blind."
"Drink too much and you'll go crazy!"
"Speak carefully!" Fang Rui, who was really worried about Wang Chen's personal condition, suddenly quickened his pace, quickly overtook Wang Chen, and hugged the latter.
"You...what are you doing?!"
Wang Chen was stunned by Fang Rui's sudden operation, and struggled with his face flushed.
"If I don't do this, there's no way I can make you stop."
Compared to Wang Chen's shyness, Fang Rui looked calm. He stopped and put Wang Chen on the ground and said:
"Can we talk about your situation now?"
"I'm really fine!" Wang Chen looked away embarrassedly and explained helplessly:
"I admit that I was really angry at first, and after drinking, my mentality completely collapsed. But the anger came and went quickly. After I vented it, nothing happened. The main reason why I was anxious was because if
Fortunately, it will arrive soon."
"real?"
"Why did I lie to you?"
"Then no matter how anxious you are, you won't care about your image at all, right?" Fang Rui glanced up and down at Wang Chen's appearance with his shawl loose and bare feet.
"Ruoqiao doesn't care about this."
"You don't care either?"
“I can do it in the car!”
"What's so urgent?" After talking about this, Fang Rui could see that Wang Chen was really anxious, rather than having any mental problems.
"Ruoqiao will be here soon!" Wang Chen repeated it again, then looked at Fang Rui's confused face, seemed to realize something again, and explained suddenly:
"Ruo Qiao communicated with me before that she encountered an annoying fly on the road and asked me to remember to pick her up on time and help her get rid of the annoying fly. I agreed, but it still took a long time. At that time
I was indeed a little drunk, so I just thought about squinting for a while, but unexpectedly I overslept..."
After saying that, she grabbed Fang Rui's arm and started running.
"Are you afraid of missing the appointment with her?"
Fang Rui finally understood what Wang Chen was worried about.
"Yes, she cares about these small appointments very much. If she doesn't make an appointment in advance, it doesn't matter if I go back later. But after the appointment has been made, if I am late, this girl will probably be angry.
Go directly back home."
"How long is it until the time you agreed on?"
"Less than two hours."
"Be precise!"
"One hour and fifty-two minutes!"
"Then it's definitely too late to drive..."
"I know! But at least the less time you are late, the greater the possibility of saving it."
"Stop." Fang Rui suddenly slowed down and signaled Wang Chen to stop.
"What do you want to do?" Wang Chen stopped in confusion.
"I can't afford the gamble, so I have to make sure we're not late." Fang Rui responded while taking off his shoes.
"How could..." Wang Chen subconsciously wanted to retort, but before he could finish his rebuttal, he realized that Fang Rui had thrown the shoes to her.
"What are you going to do?!" Wang Chen vaguely had some bad premonitions.
"I'm going to run over there!"
"Stop!!!"
Under Wang Chen's horrified gaze, Fang Rui grabbed Wang Chen into his arms, and then rushed toward District 24 with sudden force.
