Chapter 103
Chapter 103 Tainted Bad Luck?
“Tsk tsk tsk, it really is intense.”
Ye Qiyan didn’t know where he got a handful of melon seeds, found a chair, and picked a high spot to watch these two women bickering in mid-air.
Monroe Gina and that Grand Judge named Zhao Xi should be among the absolute top tier of people in the entire survival world. Such formidable combat power made it hard to imagine just how many Platform traversals one had to experience to grow to this extent.
The battle between the two lasted for a long time, ultimately ending when the upside-down city summoned by Monroe Gina was destroyed by lightning.
Fragments of the upside-down city fell from the sky.
Zhao Xi didn’t even spare them a glance as she continued to pursue Monroe Gina.
Most of the city fragments smashed toward the urban area. After being intercepted by the activated protective shield, some parts still scattered into the city.
As luck would have it, one of the pieces happened to smash toward this side.
And that direction, precisely and squarely, was heading straight for the Platform concealing the room.
No, or rather, smashing toward Zhao Lin.
“It really is Bad Luck. I definitely have to collect a few more Train Coins from her later.”
Ye Qiyan was somewhat speechless.
His Train was still in there, after all.
“The Hunt, normal mode.”
A Train Coin in his hand turned into specks of dark golden radiance and gradually vanished.
The driving sound of machine structures, accompanied by the low roar of the Hunting Mechadragon, resounded through this space.
“Throw it out.”
The Mechadragon flew into mid-air, grabbed that falling fragment, and gave it a forceful toss.
The entire fragment was thrown directly into an uninhabited area.
Zhao Xi, who was pursuing Monroe Gina, suddenly stopped in her tracks.
She looked back in confusion, catching a glimpse of a fleeting red and white color, yet she furrowed her brow.
“That is…”
Hesitating for a moment, she stopped her pursuit and landed on the ground.
A young woman ran over, panting, and upon seeing her appearance, asked anxiously:
“Grand Judge, why aren’t you pursuing anymore? The person just now was Monroe Gina!”
Zhao Xi cast a cold glance at the young woman.
“Are you ordering me?”
The freezing gaze caused the woman to freeze in place.
When she came back to her senses, Zhao Xi had already vanished from before her, leaving behind only a breezy remark.
“Next time, you can board a Train and become a Train Captain.”
Thud—
The young woman collapsed to the ground, her eyes filled with fear.
For those who chose to abandon their Trains and remain in the city, how could they still have the Courage to step back onto that endless wilderness?
Zhao Xi’s speed was very fast. She leaped into mid-air, bounding swiftly toward the direction where the Mechadragon was located.
In fact, she couldn’t fly; she could only jump.
“Where is this? Is it the dwelling place of those corrupted people? So many are actually still alive.”
The appearance of Zhao Xi instilled fear.
The Grand Judge of Solomon City—this identity was known to everyone living in this city.
The cyan-skinned elves hid away in fright.
However, Zhao Xi had no interest in them. Looking around, she leaped behind a house.
“Little girl, come out.”
She reached out and grabbed a little girl. Coincidentally, that little girl was none other than Annie.
“Just now, did you see a dragon?”
Annie trembled all over with fear, yet she said nothing and only shook her head.
But her evasive gaze completely betrayed her.
Zhao Xi let out a cold snort in her heart and casually placed Annie back on the ground.
“If you saw it, you saw it. Where is that person?”
“N-Not here…!”
“Oh, is that so.”
Zhao Xi extended her hand and pressed it onto the top of Annie’s head.
Other people looking over here hurriedly averted their gazes, not daring to watch what would happen next.
“If you won’t talk, fine.”
Zhao Xi gently patted Annie’s head, stood up, looked around, and saw the only intact and clean building in this village.
“Is it there?”
Annie hurriedly shook her head.
“Mhm, then it is there.”
Zhao Xi playfully hooked the corners of her mouth into a smile, completely different from the coldness she had during the battle just now.
She walked straight toward that building.
Pushing the door open and entering, she sniffed gently.
“A woman, and also… two Trains? A small spatial station, huh?”
She took out a pen and drew a symbol in the air.
“Open.”
The symbol fell onto the wall and turned into light rays, forcibly opening the door leading to the station.
Entering the station, seeing the two Trains on the tracks, Zhao Xi slightly furrowed her brows and sniffed again.
“Their levels aren’t considered high at all, and moreover, is this the smell of fear?”
“This Train, hm? Traces of high-grade maintenance? And what is that? A Vigilant Sentry? How interesting, it’s been a long time since I’ve seen such a rare device. Did you see me?”
With a look of amused interest, Zhao Xi crossed one arm over her chest while stroking her lips with her other hand.
“It’s you, the controller of the Hunting Mechadragon. Do you not plan to come out?”
The Sentry’s red eyeball silently watched her, yet it did not open fire.
Outside.
Ye Qiyan felt a bit of a headache seeing all this through the system Light Screen.
Wasn’t this Grand Judge named Zhao Xi chasing someone just a moment ago? How did she run all the way over here in the blink of an eye?
Judging by what she said, was it because of the Hunting Mechadragon?
“I really did get tainted with Bad Luck, what a pain.”
Ye Qiyan muttered softly to himself, dropped from the building to the ground, and walked toward the room of that Platform.
Inside the Platform.
Zhao Xi, receiving no response, was not angry either.
Gently stroking Ye Qiyan’s Train, she couldn’t help but sigh softly.
“Maintained pretty well, not doing any worse than my previous exclusive Train maintenance specialist. Interesting, five carriages, meaning the level shouldn’t be too high, huh? And the one over there, three carriages? Mhm… there’s even a little girl hidden inside. Is she a female pet? No, is it another Train Captain~”
Passing over Ye Qiyan’s Train, Zhao Xi walked straight up to Zhao Lin’s Train.
Looking at the crude surface of the carriage, she gave a casual pull, and the lock built into the door was easily snapped.
“Hm?”
Seeing the little fortress piled together inside the front of the Train, Zhao Xi snapped her fingers, and a few hummingbirds formed from lightning flew out, instantly shattering the fortress Zhao Lin had built for herself.
Zhao Lin was forced out, sitting on the ground and retreating continuously. Looking at the strange woman in front of her who didn’t look particularly vicious, she fearfully picked up the rifle beside her and aimed it at her.
“D-Don’t come over, I-I have a gun!”
Useless.
Zhao Xi walked into the carriage, grabbed her rifle barrel, and pointed it at her own chest.
“Why don’t you try and see if this kind of low-grade firearm can break through my body? Little girl, I won’t make things difficult for you. I only have two questions I want to ask you. Answer me, and I’ll let you off.”
In the end, Zhao Lin didn’t dare to fire. Her body went soft, she let go of her hand, bit her lip, and nodded.
“What questions?”
“Where is the owner of that Train outside? Also, do you know where that person got his mechanical dragon from?”
