Chapter 296 Souvenirs

Zuo Shi's eyes lit up: "Hmm, it's twelve o'clock now. There are at least seven uses left before eight o'clock tomorrow morning!"

"That's enough. While the other teams are still throwing up, let's go try it out now."

Chen Yu led the women through the empty amusement park.

Come to think of it, the amusement park at night was even creepier than any haunted house before the apocalypse.

Walking along the path, the outlines of the shops emerged from behind the tree shadows.

A whole row of low bungalows lined both sides of the main road.

Half the signs had fallen off, and most of the display windows were shattered.

By the moonlight, one could see some of the remaining lettering on the signs: Ice Cream, Plush Paradise, Carnival Souvenirs.

Soon, the four of them arrived at the log flume ride area.

It wasn't far from the swing area.

The moonlight illuminated the entire log flume ride in a ghastly white.

Chen Yu stood at the edge of the pool, looking up at the massive steel skeleton before him.

"It's so high~"

The three women looked up into the air...

At a height of over a dozen meters, the steel skeleton twisted into a steep dive angle before plunging straight into the murky, greenish pool below.

"The water is too murky. You can't see anything at the bottom."

"This pool looks so deep..."

"Does log flume water need to be this deep?"

If you actually plunged into the water and drank a mouthful of that green liquid, you'd probably get poisoned, right?

In the center of the pool, beneath the track platform, several rafts were suspended side by side.

Zuo Shi asked in a low voice: "Chen Yu, where do you think I should investigate? The water, the railings, or..."

Chen Yu shook his head: "We have to investigate it all sooner or later. Let's start with the water."

"Okay."

Zuo Shi reached her hand into the water.

The moment her fingertips submerged, a tiny ripple spread from the point of contact. She closed her eyes and activated her Talent.

A minute later...

She opened her eyes and read line by line: "The water's bacterial count exceeds standards and contains various pathogenic bacteria. It is presumed to have naturally bred in the stagnant water environment after the facility was abandoned. Contact may cause skin infections..."

Zuo Shi instantly pulled her hand out.

Then, she took a bottle of water and a towel from her personal backpack and carefully wiped it clean.

Only then did she continue: "The water is about three meters deep. The sediment layer at the bottom contains a large amount of heavy metal salt crystals. There is also a weak undercurrent flowing slowly from the northwest corner to the southeast corner at a very low speed."

After finishing, Zuo Shi looked at Chen Yu: "That's all."

Chen Yu said indifferently: "An undercurrent? In other words, the bottom of this pool isn't completely sealed."

Zuo Shi nodded: "That's about right."

Chen Yu narrowed his eyes, contemplating the hidden danger.

Just at that moment... in the distance, a heated argument made the four of them turn their heads.

"We saw this thing first!"

"Just because you saw it first, it's yours? If you see the moon, does the moon belong to you too?"

"You... this is sophistry!"

"I'm not wasting my breath on you! I want the item, and I want that woman too!"

The source of the voice was a shop next to the log flume ride.

It was about a few dozen meters away from Chen Yu and his group.

However, the amusement park at night was so quiet that even the slightest argument was amplified infinitely.

At this very moment, inside the shop, two groups of people were confronting each other.

On one side was the hooligan team. The leader, Guan Dakai, had a large tattooed arm and even three small tattoos on his face. He held a machete and was followed by two blond-haired men.

"Stop the damn chatter! Your name is Zhang Lei, right? Don't push your luck!"

On the other side was the barbecue team. Zhang Lei stood at the very front, holding a giant barbecue iron skewer in his hand. Behind him was only a plainly dressed girl, clutching a souvenir tightly.

"In the amusement park... there are so many shops, why do you have to rob us!"

The girl was short and of average appearance, but her voice was crisp and quite pleasant.

Guan Dakai sneered: "Are you stupid? Who doesn't know that tomorrow is the log flume ride? This is the only log flume-themed shop nearby! Stop stalling and hand over the item..."

Zhang Lei said in a low voice: "My Talent is A-Rank Iron Skewer! I advise you not to go too far..."

"Too much damn talk. Then you can just die."

Guan Dakai said coldly, and bursts of green energy began to swirl around his body.

Zhang Lei's expression turned ugly: "A Magic-type Talent, you..."

Generally speaking, Magic-type Talents are at least A-Rank! Many can even reach S-Rank!

"That's right, I'm an S-Rank Talent, Corrosive Potion Flow!"

"Bang!"

The green energy instantly rushed toward Zhang Lei!

Zhang Lei's expression changed, and he tried to dodge!

But it was one step too late. The green energy lunged directly onto his right arm!

"Sizzle, sizzle, sizzle—" The sound of corrosion rang out. In less than a few seconds, it had eaten away Zhang Lei's right arm, leaving only a white bone!

And Zhang Lei's [Iron Skewer] had long since fallen to the ground...

"Ah!!!!" Zhang Lei screamed and fell down, wailing. The girl behind him was in tears: "How is it possible... why is his Talent so powerful..."

Zhang Lei gritted his teeth and roared: "Energy-type, it's basically cheating!!!"

"That's right, it is cheating! What, you're not convinced?"

Guan Dakai sneered and stepped closer, staring at the souvenir in the girl's hand: "You look average, but your figure isn't bad. Hmm, come with us in a while."

As he spoke, he snatched the souvenir from the girl's hand.

The souvenir was a ship's anchor, smaller than an adult's palm. The anchor body was cast iron and pitch black.

He smiled and looked at Zhang Lei, who was to the side. The green energy in his palm began to surge.

Just then— "Bang!!!" The door of the souvenir shop was kicked open!

The already dilapidated door was completely destroyed this time, shattering into two halves and falling to the ground!

"You're right, is that item something you can just take?"

Chen Yu barged in with the three women and smiled at Guan Dakai: "It's your turn to be obedient."

Guan Dakai frowned. A single boy wasn't worth frowning over, but accompanied by three beauties... one sweet type, one villainous face, one top-tier figure.

This didn't make sense.

Behind Guan Dakai, a blond man whispered: "Brother Kai, this guy's energy is at S-Rank. In terms of intensity alone, he's on par with you. We can't underestimate him..."

Another blond man chimed in: "That's right, Brother Kai. I remember this guy. During the first level, we were throwing up so much we couldn't even stand, but he was carrying a girl while walking!"

Guan Dakai narrowed his eyes and said loudly: "Friend, I'm also S-Rank, and a Magic-type at that. Are you sure you want to make an enemy of me? Do you want to reconsider?"

Wang Mengmeng, who had mostly recovered, stepped out directly: "Are S-Ranks rare? Are Magic-types very powerful? I've seen more S-Rank corpses than you've eaten meals!"

"?" Guan Dakai's mouth twitched: "Do you want to listen to what you're saying?"
