I watched as Nightingale charged towards Xie Yutong, feeling a wave of frustration wash over me.
What on earth is going on here?
A battlefield?
A palace intrigue drama?
I felt like I had stumbled into a melodramatic romance, the kind with absurd plots and overly emotional logic.
Speaking of Nightingale, she usually seemed quite gentle, but when she got angry, she was like a fierce tigress.
This woman really knows how to hide her true self!
Xie Yutong, however, did not back down. She shouted, "Nightingale! Stop right there!"
Her voice was so piercing it almost made my ears ache.
It's a shame she doesn't perform on stage!
"Nightingale," Nightingale said coldly, her tone as if she were looking at a lamb destined for slaughter, "do you really think you can escape?"
Escape?
What am I supposed to escape from?
I'm not a fugitive!
"Escape?" Xie Yutong scoffed. "Why would I need to escape?"
"Because... you... have already... lost!" Nightingale's voice was filled with confidence, as if everything was under her control.
Lost?
What have I lost?
I haven't even started playing the game yet!
"Lose?" Xie Yutong laughed as if she had heard a hilarious joke, her laughter shaking her entire body. "Me... lose? Are you... dreaming?"
These two are quite the performers!
If you didn't know better, you'd think they were filming a movie!
"Whether it's a dream or not," Nightingale said, "you'll find out soon enough!"
As soon as Nightingale finished speaking, she and Xie Yutong started fighting.
The speed was astonishing.
I couldn't help but wonder if they had secretly installed rocket boosters.
If they were to compete in the Olympics, wouldn't they come back with a gold medal?
Oh my goodness!
This commotion is too much!
If someone didn't know better, they'd think the apocalypse was upon us!
I quickly pulled Zhong Dali aside to hide.
When gods fight, mortals suffer.
It's better for me to stay far away to avoid getting caught in the crossfire.
Speaking of which, why is Zhong Dali so quiet?
Could it be that he's been scared silly?
I stole a glance at Zhong Dali, who was staring wide-eyed at the fight between Nightingale and Xie Yutong.
His expression was as if he were watching an exciting martial arts movie.
"Wow!" Zhong Dali suddenly exclaimed, his voice ringing in my ears like a loud buzz.
Couldn’t he keep it down a bit?
As if he were afraid no one knew we were here.
"Zhong Dali," I whispered, "can you... keep it... down?"
"Huh?" Zhong Dali looked at me with a blank expression, as if asking, what’s wrong?
This guy really is clueless.
"If you... keep doing this... we’ll... expose our position," I said helplessly.
"Oh, oh, oh!" Zhong Dali quickly covered his mouth, looking like a little dog that had done something wrong.
He was quite adorable, really.
I watched Zhong Dali, feeling a mix of exasperation and amusement.
This guy is truly a character.
Wait, adorable?
When did I start thinking that a burly man was cute?
I must be losing my mind!
Just then, I suddenly noticed that Xie Yutong had left behind a note at some point.
This woman is truly mysterious.
I picked up the note and found a line written on it: "Precious resources, abandoned factory."
Precious resources?
Abandoned factory?
What does this mean?
Could it be that Xie Yutong wants me to go to the abandoned factory to find something?
What exactly is this woman up to?
I stared at the note, lost in thought.
There must be some kind of conspiracy behind this!
I have to be cautious!
"Wei Na," Zhong Dali suddenly said, "what should we do now?"
Go to the abandoned factory?
Or not go to the abandoned factory?
That's the question!
Xie Yutong is so secretive; who knows what her intentions are?
What if it's a trap?
But then again, if we don't go, it feels like we might miss something important.
Sigh, I'm really in a dilemma!
Forget it, fortune favors the bold!
Let's go for it!
"To the abandoned factory," I said without hesitation.
Since Xie Yutong left a clue, I have to see what she really wants!
"Alright!" Zhong Dali exclaimed excitedly.
This kid truly fears nothing.
I led Zhong Dali toward the direction of the abandoned factory.
Along the way, we encountered quite a few zombies.
However, I dealt with them easily.
This "Soul-Eating Immunity Evolution" is really useful!
I wonder what kind of scheme Xie Yutong has in mind, sending me to an abandoned factory.
Could it be a trap?
I remained secretly vigilant.
This woman is no pushover!
I must be cautious!
Just as we were about to reach the abandoned factory, a group of black market thugs suddenly charged out from the side.
The group of people before me looked fierce and menacing, clearly not to be trifled with.
What was going on here?
Could it be that Xie Yutong had arranged for others to deal with me?
This woman was truly insidious!
"What do you want?" I asked warily.
These people were clearly up to no good!
"Kid," one burly thug said, his face all rough edges, "if you know what's good for you, hand over your stuff!"
Stuff?
What do I have?
Aside from my handsome face and my unbeatable skills, what could they possibly want from me?
"Stuff?" I scoffed. "What do I have?"
"Stop playing dumb!" another thug chimed in. "We were sent by Xie Yutong!"
Xie Yutong?
Just as I suspected… it was her!
This woman just wouldn't let up!
I silently lamented my fate.
This time… it was really the end for me!
What should I do?
At that moment, Zhong Dali suddenly stepped forward.
This kid is really brave!
"Are you... trying to bully... Wei Na?" Zhong Dali said in a deep voice, "You’ll have to get past me first!"
"Just you?" a thug scoffed, "You should take a look at yourself and know your limits!"
"Then let’s see what you’ve got!" Zhong Dali shouted as he charged toward the group of thugs.
The momentum was truly intimidating!
I looked at Zhong Dali, feeling a surge of emotion.
This kid really has guts!
"Zhong Dali," I called out, "be careful!"
Zhong Dali engaged in a fight with the thugs.
The scene was chaotic!
I quickly joined the fray.
This time… it was for real!
I… cannot… lose!
I… must… survive!
