147: Chapter 147 A Big Red Envelope! Weren't you dead?!

"Brother Gangzi! It's a safe!"

Liu Yanyan let out an excited gasp.

Causing Wu Gang, who was currently responsible for keeping watch, to turn his head and look over as well.

The moment he saw the safe hidden among this pile of supplies, Wu Gang's eyes involuntarily heated up.

This wasn't in the intelligence given by the Night Crow Society!

"Hurry, you open it, I'll continue keeping watch! With the intelligence on this treasure chest, we'll be able to get quite a few extra rewards when we go back this time..."

Liu Yanyan nodded repeatedly in excitement.

One hand reached out.

Retrieving [Collection Safe (High-Value Container)]...

The retrieval black box appeared.

One 1x1 single grid, one 1x3 three-grid, plus one 2x2 four-grid.

A total of three items.

Making Liu Yanyan's breathing involuntarily turn rapid.

With this number of grids, how bad could the worst possibly be?

"Brother Gangzi, it looks like a big gold is about to drop!"

Her gaze stared fixedly at the spinning icon within the retrieval black box, with more of her attention placed on the final four-grid.

Clang!

Purple light bloomed, and a pair of [Pearl Pendant Earrings (Purple)] was put into her backpack.

The second item began retrieval, the icon spinning... spinning... still spinning!

Causing Liu Yanyan's gaze, which had originally been fixed on the four-grid, to nervously and excitedly look over here.

"Brother Gangzi, Brother Gangzi..."

Her voice trembled as she shouted excitedly, making even Wu Gang's heart leap into his throat.

"What's wrong? What dropped?"

"It seems, it seems like a big haul is about to drop! It looks like big gold, no, that's not right, it seems..." Liu Yanyan couldn't speak anymore, her entire face flushing red as if she was about to faint from excitement.

Accompanied by a burst of red light blooming on Liu Yanyan's hands.

Wu Gang, who was just about to ask what item had been felt out, suddenly widened his eyes.

While his pupils suddenly constricted, his body also tensed up in shock in an instant.

Red!

Red!

It's a red-quality collectible!

Wu Gang's brain practically crashed at this moment, staring blankly at the dukes cane in Liu Yanyan's hand—a luxurious cane with a noble, elegant feel, topped with a silver viper head.

[Prop Name]: dukes cane

[Prop Grade]: Red

[Value]: 960,975

[Type]: Crafted Collection

[Weight]: 1.9 kg

[Backpack Grid Capacity Occupied]: 1 × 3

[Prop Description]: The cane of a famous duke from hundreds of years ago, said to come from an imperial bestowal. Dark golden carved craftsmanship paired with a golden staff top featuring a viper head at the handle, carrying a mysterious sense of nobility amidst the eerie vibe.

"Holy shit, holy shit..."

Wu Gang was almost speechless.

At this moment, another flash of golden light lit up in Liu Yanyan's hands, revealing an old man's bust made entirely of gold.

It was unexpectedly the [Parino Bust], a 2x2 four-grid big gold.

Liu Yanyan was also stunned by the harvest in front of her, fortunately Wu Gang reacted fast enough.

Grabbing the items into the backpack.

Pulling Liu Yanyan up, he sprinted at full speed toward the Transport Line Station.

"Hurry! Faster! We'll definitely make it in time!"

Wu Gang's Source Energy burst forth all over his body, his knotted muscles allowing him to burst out with terrifying speed at this moment. However, when seeing the scene in front of the station, both of their eyes involuntarily revealed a hint of despair.

"No! Wait! Don't leave!!!"

Inside the Transport Line Station, a train had already begun to slowly pull away from the platform, heading toward the barrier-isolated area in the western part of the mystic realm. The closing of the train doors also caused the hearts of Wu Gang and the other to sink completely.

"Brother Gangzi..."

"Take the conventional evacuation!"

Wu Gang made a prompt decision.

The teammates still searching inside the base behind them were not within his consideration at all.

They were not like the newbies taking the assessment whose teams were formed by themselves.

For these people, the teammates entering the mystic realm every match were different; only he and Liu Yanyan were familiar fixed-duo partners.

However.

The two of them were completely unaware.

Their sudden, crazed action of running out of the base and rushing toward the evacuation point completely fell into the eyes of a certain sniper from a commanding height.

Chu Hong's lips hooked into a playful arc: "Oh ho? So urgent, I'm afraid you guys hit the jackpot, huh~"

On Wu Gang and Liu Yanyan's side, they didn't dare stop for a single second.

Sprinting at full speed along the mountain road toward the northern shore.

"Whoosh!"

A lightning-sparking sharp arrow fiercely struck a stone on the side of the road along the way.

Liu Yanyan was checking angles. Even though this kind of arrow provided by the Night Crow Society cost 10k Source Energy points each, she felt not the slightest bit of heartache at this moment.

Her mind right now was entirely filled with surviving and bringing the items out of the mystic realm.

"Hurry! Faster! Even faster! We can cross the river ahead, across the river is the evacuation point..."

Wu Gang was even more excited, rushing at the very front.

Once they successfully brought back a red-quality collectible for the organization, they would receive resource inclination and vigorous cultivation from the Night Crow Society in the future.

When the two of them, soaked to the bone, crawled ashore from the eastern tidal flats and looked at the evacuation point close at hand.

The very instant a smile had just appeared on their faces.

Above the sky, three huge shadows suddenly appeared, carrying a whistling momentum as they crashed down toward the location of the evacuation point.

"Watch out!"

Wu Gang was greatly alarmed!

Three ice meteorites smashed down.

If it weren't for him dodging in time just now, he would have been smashed to death directly inside the evacuation point.

"Bang!"

A gunshot rang out.

Wu Gang let out a miserable scream and instantly tumbled to the ground.

"Ah!!! My leg!"

His leg was unexpectedly broken directly by this single shot, dripping with blood, and bone shards could even be seen.

Liu Yanyan's expression changed drastically in shock. Turning her head, when she saw the three figures appearing on the mid-slope before her, the shock on her face instantly froze.

"Chu, Chu Hong?!"

Even Wu Gang was so shocked by this figure, who simply couldn't and shouldn't still exist, that he stopped his miserable screaming.

Shocked and full of disbelief, he widened his eyes.

Chu Hong's smile was genial, as if he were still that famous school hunk of Source Energy No. 1 High School.

At this moment, he was half-squatting on the edge of the hillside, holding in his arms a sniper rifle with faint blue smoke at the muzzle.

"Yo! Long time no see, Class Monitor Wu~"

Wu Gang's face was ashen, pointing at Chu Hong while his entire body trembled.

"Y-Y-You-You... How is this possible, aren't you supposed to be dead already?!"

Liu Yanyan was the same, her face drained of all color from fright. At this moment, she blocked in front of Wu Gang, but the hand holding the longbow trembled uncontrollably.

What the hell!

Didn't Instructor Jiang Long say that Chu Hong had already been killed by him?!

Weren't his head chopped off and presented to the Lord President?!

Then what's going on with this guy in front of them?!

Song Jiaojiao and Wang Suming were stunned, looking at Chu Hong in confusion. What did it mean that he was already dead?

Was there something else to this that they didn't know about?

Chu Hong didn't explain. The biochemical suppression 93r in his hand suddenly raised, and in a flash of lightning and flint, he instantly pulled the trigger.

"Bang, bang, bang!"

Liu Yanyan let out a miserable scream and fell to the ground.

Snatching the backpacks from the two disheveled, screaming, furious, and desperate people, and even confiscating their weapons along with them.

Right in front of the two of them, Chu Hong took out a cane from Wu Gang's backpack.

"Woah~ Class Monitor Wu, since you came, you came, why did you even bring a welcoming gift?"

"We're old classmates, why so polite?"

Wu Gang's eyes split with anger: "Bastard! Chu Hong, give me back my things! Otherwise, I'll make sure you pay for this in the future!"

"Liu Yanyan and I are now people of the Night Crow Society! Offend us, and you just wait to be retaliated against by us!"

Song Jiaojiao's delicate brows furrowed slightly: "You guys actually joined the Black Hole Council. Have you ever thought about what your families will do in the future?"
