Chapter 174: No Time to Talk, Get on the Car!
After the young woman got off the car, she saw Liu Xing and the others. Without even closing the car door, she approached them and asked, "Are you all here because of the message too?"
Liu Xing nodded, a bit puzzled. "Yes, but how did you know?"
"I'm a local in Ziwu City, a coach at the shooting training center named Basya Zhenxun. I know the situation at Ziwu City Airport very well. It's already past five in the afternoon, and generally, there are no flights taking off or landing at Ziwu City Airport at this time. So, there shouldn't be anyone staying at the airport, except for the airport staff. And you don't look like airport staff, so I guess you also received a mysterious message and came to the airport," Basya Zhenxun explained seriously.
Gu Jun chuckled and nodded. "I see. Then we're companions. By the way, Miss Basya Zhenxun, you should be familiar with the story of King Tindalos."
The middle-aged man who came with Basya Zhenxun interjected, "Of course, I've been in Ziwu City for a few years and know the story of King Tindalos inside out. By the way, I'm Basya Zhenxun's colleague, Chen Wenbin, the doctor at Ziwu City Shooting Training Center."
Gu Jun nodded and introduced Liu Xing and others to Basya Zhenxun and Chen Wenbin. Finally, the seven players of this module got to know each other.
Of course, while introducing Liu Xing and the others, Gu Jun also mentioned the Cthulhu Dominance game. To their surprise, they found that all seven present were members of the same club, improving their camaraderie.
Afterwards, Gu Jun continued to inquire whether Basya Zhenxun and others had experienced supernatural events or encountered mythical creatures. After receiving affirmative responses, Gu Jun shared his speculation with them.
"I see, I wondered why the message was so strange. I even called 10068 customer service to inquire about the sender, and they told me no one sent me a message. I got so angry and hung up, only to find out later that it was a message from King Tindalos from the past," Basya Zhenxun admitted somewhat embarrassedly.
Chen Wenbin looked around and said, "It seems that only the seven of us received the message. Ziwu City Airport seems to have closed, and except for the airport staff, we probably won't have a chance to enter. So, King Tindalos might predict that we can't enter the airport. He most likely teleported his daughter to the outskirts of Ziwu City Airport. Should we split up and look for King Tindalos's daughter?"
Liu Xing took a moment to observe his surroundings. The sky had darkened as Ziwu City Airport was located in the outskirts, surrounded by undeveloped areas that resembled barren land.
On the highway they had come from, there wasn't a single car in sight, and the streetlights on both sides remained off due to the time not being suitable for them to illuminate.
Then, Liu Xing noticed a young girl slowly walking towards the airport. Behind her, four men in black were chasing her.
Furrowing his brows, Liu Xing knew the girl must be King Tindalos's daughter, and the men in black were undoubtedly up to no good.
"Look, that should be King Tindalos's daughter, right?!" Liu Xing pointed at the girl and exclaimed.
Everyone followed Liu Xing's gaze, and KP Li Shunchan spoke up, "Alright, now it's time for the plot kill. You can start making choices. Firstly, I need to tell you that you need two rounds of full-speed running to catch up with King Tindalos's daughter. The men in black only need one round to catch her. Of course, you can choose to use Basya Zhenxun's car, which would also take just one round to reach King Tindalos's daughter. However, if you encounter the men in black, you'll enter a combat round. Players, make your choices."
"I'll directly start the car Basya Zhenxun drove and go pick up King Tindalos's daughter!" Yin En said without hesitation.
Liu Xing thought for a moment and said, "Then I'll get in the car too."
Gu Jun shook his head and calmly stated, "I choose to run over. Ideally, we should be one round late to meet King Tindalos's daughter. The men in black, who are one round early, most likely won't harm or capture her directly. Besides, I'm not much of a fighter as an Occultist."
Yuhua Lian nodded in agreement, silently accepting Gu Jun's reasoning.
Watanabe Jiang smiled and said, "I think Gu Jun is right. My character card's combat power is not great, so early or late doesn't make much difference for me. I plan to observe the situation from behind and, if the men in black use force, I'll call the police. I remember crucial areas like airports usually have police stationed. We'll have support then."
Basya Zhenxun and Chen Wenbin exchanged glances and said, "In that case, we'll stay here. I'm a shooting coach, but I don't have any handy weapons, and my combat power is almost zero. Chen Wenbin's combat power, as you can see, is even worse than mine. So, we won't interfere. When the police arrive, we can guide them."
"Alright, so Liu Xing and Yin En will drive to pick up King Tindalos's daughter. Gu Jun, Watanabe Jiang, and Yuhua Lian will run there. Basya Zhenxun and Chen Wenbin will remain on standby." KP Li Shunchan concluded, and Liu Xing felt his body enter a state similar to when they were at Earth Dragon Village.
Then, Liu Xing saw "Yin En" sit directly in Basya Zhenxun's car and shout, "No time to talk, get on the car!"
Liu Xing involuntarily walked up and sat in the back seat. "Yin En" started the car and headed towards King Tindalos's daughter.
