CHAPTER 345: CHAPTER 345: THE BURROW

arena.

Ji You kicked over the girl, and quickly after, the boy rushed over to assist. The three of them got entangled in an instant. Ji You was already injured, and the other two were strong and robust, clearly about to be overpowered.

Weak chicken’s face was full of conflict:

Run?

Assist?

Privately, weak chicken wanted to run; if it weren’t for Ji You’s threats, he would have bolted without a trace. But now, seeing the Rag Queen about to suffer, wasn’t this the perfect chance for him to escape?

Bang!

Thud!

Thud!

With the three shadows flickering before his eyes and the clanging sounds of fighting, weak chicken remembered the Rag Queen’s taunt that he couldn’t even beat a girl, and a surge of courage was sparked within him!

Are you kidding me? He, weak chicken, couldn’t beat a girl?

A fierce light flashed in weak chicken’s eyes, and he charged towards the girl entangled with Ji You and shouted, "Queen, leave her to me. You concentrate on taking this guy down, then come help me!"

Ji You twitched at the corner of her mouth.

Under normal circumstances, shouldn’t this weak chicken be guaranteeing to take down the girl? It turns out he still needs her support?

However, even with her inner grumbling, Ji You didn’t say anything. With weak chicken joining in and keeping the girl busy, it indeed relieved her pressure. The pressure suddenly diminished, and Ji You no longer had half a mind to deal with both while also guarding against their attempt to pick up firearms again.

The boy, clearly realizing the danger, fiercely intensified his attacks. While attacking, he attempted to pick up a weapon, but each time he was precisely interrupted by Ji You. Ji You burst forward with a punch and slammed the boy into the wall.

Clang—

Hearing this loud noise, weak chicken looked on with a headache, and the boy was dizzied by the punch and took a while to recover.

Ji You didn’t give the opponent a chance. She picked up the Big Chopper from the ground and chopped down straight.

Crack—

The boy was instantly eliminated from the match.

The girl, having witnessed this scene, was already thinking of retreating, and now had no intention of tangling with Ji You and weak chicken. After a fierce offensive that left weak chicken unable to fight back, the girl was just about to make a run for it—

Unexpectedly, as soon as she moved, she felt a terrifying momentum from behind her, this was—

Crack—

The girl only felt a flash of White Light, and then she heard the system prompt that her Life Value was zero. The girl widened her eyes: "!!!"

Dying with lingering regrets!

The pair came together intending to kill and take weapons, but instead, they were counter-killed.

How could they die without regrets?

Ji You put away the knife, rolled up her sleeves, wiped the bloodstain, and performed all these actions with no expression on her face, completely inscrutable whether she was glad or angry...

So...

So terrifying.

Weak chicken cowered in the corner, shivering.

Ji You ignored him, quickly picked out a submachine gun from the scattered guns on the ground, and held her originally desired sniper rifle in hand. Then she disassembled all the bullets from this man and woman’s guns and stuffed them into her waist pouch...

She finished all this in less than 30 seconds.

Then, Ji You turned her head and glared at weak chicken: "Weak chicken, aren’t you following me?"

Weak chicken: "...Yingyingying."

So strong.

But so terrifying.

The recent brawl would likely attract a bunch of people over. Ji You dared not delay. Just now, she had been ambushed by this man and woman, and although she survived, they had used a submachine gun to spray bullets at her. Ji You’s shoulder was hit, and her right elbow was too. Knowing she couldn’t endure a prolonged fight, she needed to find a place to hide.

Ji You quickly got herself together and, without checking if the weak chicken was following, started running.

The weak chicken’s eyes darted around, ultimately too scared to escape.

But soon after, followed along.

...

minutes later, Ji You and the weak chicken took refuge in a pitch-black hole where you couldn’t see your hand before your face.

Silence.

The weak chicken didn’t dare to speak. Ji You didn’t want to, her mind constantly revolving with thoughts, knowing they couldn’t stay in this small hole forever.

Because the safety zone would keep shrinking, even if they were lucky and this hole stayed within the final safe area, its low position and enclosed surroundings meant they couldn’t scout out the area, obviously lacking the high ground advantage.

Betting their lives on luck wasn’t Ji You’s style. Besides, whenever she gambled on luck, she never won.

Ji You suddenly said, "Weak chicken, didn’t you mention before that you could roughly estimate the final safety zone?"

The weak chicken shrank its neck, saying nothing.

Ji You’s face darkened as she realized she’d been tricked, and couldn’t help but swear, "You can’t shoot, can’t fight, can’t even provide support; you’re useless in everything, what good are you?"

The weak chicken huddled even more.

Ji You cursed and, unable to help it, raised her hand to rub her forehead.

This was difficult.

Without information on the safety zone, they could only gamble on luck.

But—

She was injured now, her combat effectiveness reduced by at least thirty percent.

In this little hole, with Ji You’s grim face, the air pressure was incredibly low, as if the air itself might solidify—the weak chicken trembled and mustered the courage to say, "About the safe area... queen... actually, I just guessed, wasn’t sure. Look, these are our current coordinates, and look at the current safety zone. Since each contraction must be at least by half, I used the process of elimination, ruled out here, there, and here, and thought it might end up over here!"

Ji You furrowed her brows and asked, "How sure are you?"

The weak chicken sported a sycophantic smile, glanced at Ji You, and said, "Thir... thirty percent."

Ji You bluntly said, "Fine!"

The weak chicken: "Huh?"

Ji You said: "Let’s go!"

The weak chicken was stunned: "Go where?"

Ji You gave him a sideways glance: "With such low intelligence and no abilities, how have you survived until now?"

Hearing those words, the weak chicken realized he was being mocked. Feeling a bit wronged, he said, "Who says I’m good for nothing? I’m invincible when it comes to running away."

"Oh—" Ji You drew out her tone indifferently and said, "Is that something to be proud of?"

The weak chicken: "..."

The weak chicken covered his mouth, "Yingyingying... queen, you’re bullying me again."

Ji You’s brow twitched, and she swore, "If you whine again, I’ll beat you to death."

The weak chicken immediately shut his mouth.

After extending her Spiritual Network and carefully sensing again, Ji You confirmed there were no enemies within a 500-meter radius and immediately said, "Let’s leave now."

"Alright!"

"Wait..."

The weak chicken suddenly stopped Ji You and said, "Boss... there’s someone heading this way from outside, maybe—should we wait for them to pass before we go?"

Ji You’s pupils constricted.

She carefully sensed again and found indeed there was no one within a 500-meter radius.

What did this mean?
