Chapter 214
Tao Yuanming’s Remember Peach Blossom Spring skill needed 10 seconds to be cast . During this period, it couldn’t be interrupted . Xiao Lou exited the back of the warehouse, summoned Tao Yuanming and placed the Peach Blossom Spring behind the evacuation entrance . if the situation wasn’t right, he could send everyone in groups, disappear instantly and retreat through the underground as soon as possible .
<hr>
Due to the upgrade of the card skills, the time that the Peach Blossom Spring lasted changed from the original 30 minutes to 3 hours . This was much more practical .
After placing the Peach Blossom Spring, Xiao Lou returned to the warehouse . Yu Hanjiang and the other team members had cleaned up the traces of roasted vegetables and instant noodles that they had for dinner . He glanced at Xiao Lou and whispered, “Open the Heart has a Tacit Exchange of Romantic Feelings channel . ”
At 24:00, all card skills would be refreshed . Qin Guan’s heart channel also needed to be reopened . Xiao Lou summoned Qin Guan to connect with Yu Hanjiang . The other Qin Guan card was handed over to Ye Qi and Ye Qi could choose one person to connect to . ”
Ye Qi looked around at his teammates and thought carefully before speaking to Shao Qingge . “Chief Shao, can I connect with you? We both have the teleportation card so if we communicate spiritually, the two of us can each bring a teammate when moving . ”
Shao Qingge smiled . “Of course you can . ”
Yu Hanjiang took out the invisibility cloak and whispered, “Everyone, hide and see what they want to do . ”
The group put on their invisibility cloaks at once and hide behind a few boxes . The moment they hid, they heard the door of the warehouse being opened . Several people walked in holding the night pearl .
Yu Hanjiang narrowed his eyes and took a closer look . This was a team of eight challengers . They wore uniform black down jackets and carried school bags behind them . There were five men and three women, all around the age of 20 . They seemed to be a team of university students .
The girl walking in front was tall and her hair was tied in a ponytail . She looked around calmly and spoke softly, “This seems to be a warehouse and it is desolate nearby . There should be no large groups of bugs . Is it better to stay here overnight?”
The boy in gla.s.ses standing beside her suggested, “Sister Gao, we should still check it well . ”
Sister Gao nodded . “Separate into two teams and carefully search from left to right . Don’t let go of any corners . ”
The group moved quickly and launched a complete search of the warehouse .
After the search, Sister Gao said, “There is no one here . It should be safe . ”
A skinny boy pushed up his gla.s.ses and abruptly spoke . “Dear friends, are you hiding under the invisibility cloak?”
The group was shocked to hear this .
Sister Gao looked back at him . “What do you mean? Someone is here?”
The boy nodded . “I tried using the Dog Nose card . This warehouse has the smell of roasted vegetables and various instant noodles . The most intense time was five hours ago, which should be dinner . The smell of the instant noodles is very strong and should include braised pork ribs, tomato beef brisket noodles, pickled vegetable noodles, stewed chicken noodles with mushroom… at a rough guess, there were seven or eight people cooking noodles at the same time, resulting in the mixed smell . My guess is that we’ve entered the base of another challenger team . ”
Xiao Lou, “…”
<hr>
There was a card like Dog Nose? The smell of dinner had dispersed a long time ago . He hadn’t expected it to be detected by this gla.s.ses man . This person could even distinguish between the different instant noodles?
The name of this card was really appropriate .
Ye Qi couldn’t help thinking, “This dog nose is too effective!”
Shao Qingge heard Ye Qi’s thoughts through the heart channel and couldn’t help chuckling . “This type of function card is interesting and will be very useful in the Hearts secret room . We can smell the crime scene . Do you want me to spend 5 million to copy one for you?”
Ye Qi immediately shook his head . “Don’t be so bad! This card isn’t worth 5 million to copy . ”
The two of them stopped talking and continued to listen carefully .
Sister Gap reflected on the meaning of the gla.s.ses man and immediately looked around . “Dear friends, we aren’t malicious and won’t do anything! We didn’t know there was anyone here!”
The gla.s.ses man also spoke loudly . “We are a team from the Distant a.s.sociation and our only focus is clearing the secret room . It is too snowy and cold outside . We just wanted to find a place to shelter from the wind and the cold for the night and happened to find this warehouse . ”
Vlrafg Xjb jvvfv, “Tfr, lo kf’gf cba kfimbwf atfc kf mjc olcv jcbatfg qijmf . Lbkfnfg, P ralii tbqf atja kf mjc rajs jcv mbbqfgjaf . Coafg jii, wbgf qfbqif wfjcr j ragbcufg qbkfg .

Yu Hanjiang didn’t speak and his other teammates naturally wouldn’t interject .
This girl’s words did have some credibility . The jacket they were wearing did have the logo of the Distant a.s.sociation .
Yu Hanjiang asked Xiao Lou inwardly, “They are all university students . What do you think?”
Xiao Lou had seen a university student team in the previous World Weekly . Those young people were flexible, quick to respond and their physical strength and combat effectiveness wasn’t bad . A few of them were lovers of games and knew various routines .
This team should be very strong and have many good cards in their hands . Otherwise, it would be impossible for them to reach 8 of Spades .
Moreover, the Distant a.s.sociation took ‘return to reality’ as their ultimate goal . Under the management of Old Gui, the entire a.s.sociation was said to be very united . They were more credible than some pa.s.sersby teams .
Xiao Lou replied, “First take a look to make sure there are no infected people among them . Then we can consider whether to let them stay or not . It is okay to exchange some information with each other . ”
Yu Hanjiang’s principle wasn’t to be an indiscriminate good person to always save others . He wasn’t a Virgin Mary .
However, a ‘strong alliance’ was actually good for everyone . They already had experience of joining with other challengers to clear the instance in 3 of Spades and 4 of Spades .
Yu Hanjiang calmly spoke . “Then I will question them first . ”
The team of university students were observing the area . Just then, a low and cold voice entered their ears . “Exchange clues to show your sincerity . Which urban area did you come from? What is the situation there?”
The challengers knew the existence of the invisibility cloak so they weren’t too surprised by the weird scene of ‘only hearing the voice but not seeing the person . ’
The girl with her hair in a ponytail heard this and explained seriously, “We fled from the university town in the north district . We had refreshed in the north district when entering the secret room . Since all of us are students, we are familiar with the environment of the university campus . We quickly figured out the setting of the secret room and found a place to hide after gaining some supplies . ”
The gla.s.ses boy continued . “Sister Gao took us to the school’s laboratory building . At that time, it was Monday and there were only one or two cla.s.ses being held . First, we hid on the roof of the laboratory building . Once the students mutated and ran out of the building to bite people, we went inside and cleaned up the remaining infected people in the building . We locked the door and hid inside for three days . ”
He paused, his face slightly pale . “As a result, on the fourth day, more than 80% of the university students were infected and the laboratory building suffered from the siege of infected people!”
The group’s faces were ugly as they thought of that time and one girl couldn’t help squirming .
Sister Gao’s face was gloomy . “We cleaned up the entire laboratory building and locked the door . It is reasonable to say that the bugs shouldn’t have known about our existence . However, they actually climbed up from the outside wall to surround us . The entire outside of the laboratory building was full of bugs, their climbs clinging to the wall and blood-red eyes staring at us through the window! There were countless bugs . They probably numbered in the thousands!”
Everyone, “……”
They listened to the description and couldn’t help getting a chill down their spine .
The laboratory building was surrounded by countless bugs . It was terrible just thinking about it .
Xiao Lou wondered, “How did you escape?”
Sister Gao explained, “During the days when we occupied the laboratory building, everyone made arrangements in advance . Brother Lin changed all the circuits in the building so that one short circuit can easily create a fire . Younger Sister Xue used the various chemical agents in the laboratories to make some flammable and explosive things . We left an escape exit on the rooftop of the building in advance . Once we were surrounded by the bugs, we ran to the top of the building and flew to another building using a flying card . Then we exploded the entire laboratory building…”
The danger at that time could be imagined but the students were very smart . Obviously, there were some high level chemistry and physics students in the team who learned to apply the principles . They used the short circuited wires and flammability and explosiveness of these chemicals to make the entire building a fire site that the bugs feared the most . ”
The bugs lying on the wall probably didn’t expect the entire building to explode suddenly . The number of bugs killed at that time was difficult to estimate but the entire escape process was indeed thrilling .
