"Che, Che!" Luo Shu and the others, after snatching the remaining supplies from the latter few carts, returned to Luo Xiaole's side with Lin Xia and the others.
The mist spread behind Luo Xiaole, and in front of her, there was no one left standing.
Some clutched their shoulders, others their thighs, all seriously injured.
The wails echoed throughout the winding mountain road.
"Finished snatching? Let's go, let's go." The mist had already begun to dissipate.
Luo Xiaole could barely stand, her legs trembling, stumbling as she swayed in the strawberry bear costume.
Then, with a "clatter," she collapsed onto the ground, her strength depleted.
Such a small body could produce such a loud sound!
Mo Chen arrived, giving her a helpless look and saying, "Take it off."
As he spoke, his own face visibly flushed crimson...
He hadn't meant it that way.
"Oh..." Luo Xiaole's face also turned a shocking shade of red, hidden by the strawberry bear.
For a moment, she had misunderstood Mo Chen.
Then she realized he meant for her to take off the strawberry bear.
Although her hands were trembling, she could still manage to undress, finally pulling off the strawberry bear costume.
"Cough, cough, hold on tight." Mo Chen's expression was a little unnatural as he carefully picked Luo Xiaole up in a princess carry.
With a light step, he dashed a few times, swiftly returning to their car.
His tall figure paused for two seconds in front of the car. The feather-light weight in his arms and the prominent bone structure brought him an inexplicable pang of heartache.
After a while, he slowly put her down, letting her lean against the car door.
"Sorry, I saw you had no strength left," Mo Chen rubbed his nose, even the neatly rounded fingernails on his fingertips were tinged with a faint pink blush.
"Hey, I definitely have you to thank for that. I could never run this fast on my own," Luo Xiaole pretended to be casual, shrugging it off.
In reality, her palms were already slick with a thin layer of nervous sweat.
Luo Shu and the others also arrived successively.
The group bundled the water ability user, who was tied up in the trunk, and tossed him into the grass by the roadside. They started the car and sped away.
...
Inside the Qinglong Gang's stronghold.
Cheng Miao, who had already received Zhou Kaifeng's investigation results, and his senior brother Lian San, frowned deeply.
"We checked the car rental and base exit records from last night and today..."
"There were no other elites, just some insignificant individuals."
"Only this convoy seems to have an issue." In the file Zhou Kaifeng provided, a few names were specifically marked.
"Luo Xiaole, Mo Chen, Luo Shu, Lin Xia..." These names were so familiar...
Wang Hao, standing nearby, immediately jumped up.
"It must be them! It's that little sprout's gang!"
"What!" Cheng Miao gritted his teeth. "It's her again!"
This little sprout had ruined their plans multiple times!
"Gang Leader, Deputy Gang Leader, our gas station's supplies have been stolen again!" someone rushed in, wailing.
"Pfft!" Cheng Miao almost choked with anger!
A space ability user couldn't carry too many people. He had already ordered others nearby to rush to support, so how could they still be robbed!
Did the other party secretly bring an army?
"The mist was too thick, slowing down the support speed, and... I heard the team encountered a wild beast, a mutated straw... strawberry bear!"
"It was Luo Xiaole!" Wang Hao jumped up again!
"Damn Luo Xiaole, she's not old but her guts are huge! Constantly going against us, losing so many weapons, where will the Qinglong Gang's reputation go if this gets out!" Cheng Miao roared.
"Someone, directly summon the most powerful ability users in the gang!" His chest felt constricted, and his rage made the spikes on his flat top stand on end.
"Luo Xiaole will not get away with this! I will chop her into pieces, chase after them!" Lian San and Cheng Miao were surprisingly going to lead the pursuit themselves.
"Gang Leader, please wait." The ability user who had acted with Wang Hao quickly stopped the two.
"You t/"
"Gang Leader, I saw Luo Xiaole last time. She's not a reckless person, especially with someone I know well by her side, Mo Chen."
"The two of them are definitely not reckless individuals! But their surprise attack on three supply points within two days is truly strange. I suspect a trap. We are on the verge of a major battle, Gang Leader, Deputy Gang Leader, please do not act impulsively and fall into their scheme." The man, though ordinary in appearance, had considerable ability and a sharp mind.
This was someone Qin Mingyang had sent over. They found him useful and had kept him around.
These few words were like a bucket of cold water, instantly extinguishing the anger of the two.
Only then did they realize that Luo Xiaole had skillfully diverted their attention, almost jeopardizing their plans.
"What do you suggest? So many weapons lost for nothing, our fighting strength greatly reduced!"
"And how can I swallow this insult!"
It would have been one thing if it were anyone else, but the one stealing their weapons was that little sprout who could be blown over by a slight breeze!
A dignified gang, what about their face!
"Don't worry about the weapons. As long as they are transported back to Luocheng Base and handed over, Young Master Zhou will know their storage location. Then these weapons won't be considered lost." The space ability user vowed.
"Moreover, Luo Xiaole's biggest weakness, I know it!" Wang Hao sneered sinisterly from the side.
...
"Awoooo!!!" On the way back to Luocheng Base.
Luo Xiaole wailed miserably throughout the journey.
A group of people bustled around, all wanting to treat her hand.
The Lin Xia sisters, one controlling fire, the other sharpening a needle on the spot—the needle was a dagger she had given them earlier. They performed acupuncture on her, heating the dagger.
The acupuncture points they chose were accurate, but their application was heavy-handed. It was a half-baked attempt, and Luo Xiaole felt like she was undergoing torture.
However, after the acupuncture, the pain in her wrist did indeed lessen!
Mo Chen stood by, saying nothing.
But in his heart, he vowed to hire ten excellent acupuncturists upon returning to Luocheng Base!
"Let me see how many weapons we've taken..." After the pain subsided and her hands regained some strength, Luo Xiaole licked her lips, extremely excited.
"My heavens!" When she finally transferred all the weapons into her spatial storage.
She cried out in shock.
"There are actually 6,800 of them!" She was stunned as she said it.
How many places had the Qinglong Gang robbed to acquire so many weapons!
Adding the previous 7,182 weapons, they had snatched a total of... 13,982 this time!
This wasn't just a feast; it was bordering on a state banquet...
Since they had already gathered ten thousand weapons.
Luo Xiaole immediately feigned sleep.
Closing her eyes, she directly arrived in front of the weapon shop in the system space.
[Detected that the host has collected 10,000 weapons from the real world within 15 days. Do you wish to use 1 million mall coins to activate the weapon shop?]
Luo Xiaole rubbed her hands and smiled, "Activate!"
[Congratulations to the host, the weapon shop activation mission has been completed.]
[Mission completion reward: 150,000 mall coins have been issued. Remaining balance: 1,816,985 mall coins.]
This time, the system's broadcast voice did not stop.
[Ding!]
[Congratulations to the host for unlocking all shops in the item area!]
Excellent, with 1.8 million left!
Luo Xiaole silently calculated in her mind.
Hearing the continuous broadcast from the system, her joy surged.
Then, the next step was...
[Body modification function is now enabled. Unlocking costs 1 million mall coins. Does the host wish to unlock the body modification function?]
!!!
Luo Xiaole wished she could jump up in the space, but she was utterly exhausted today.
"I'm this weak, unlock it, quickly unlock it for me!" she gasped, frantically responding to the system's questions, afraid it wouldn't hear her.
[Ding! Congratulations to the host, the body modification function has been unlocked!]
The pleasing voice finally sounded!
