Ye Feng and his group did not return to the Firefly Outpost but instead set off directly for Desperate City.
He had previously learned from explorers at the Firefly Outpost that the best time to go to Desperate City was in the next couple of days, but he was too impatient to wait.
In fact, Ye Feng was not the first to depart early.
A few days prior, scattered teams of explorers, eager to gain an advantage, had already left.
After all, even if Desperate City held the legendary Desperate Potion, it surely wouldn't be lying around everywhere. Getting there first meant getting it first…
…
Meanwhile,
"Boss Bloodpython, damn it… smack!"
As Xiao Lanzi spoke, he was slapped soundly by Bloodpython, his entire cheek swelling up.
"Blood… Boss Bloodpython, I… I wasn't cursing you, I was cursing Ye Feng, that kid named Ye Feng, he’s already run off…"
"He must have gone to Desperate City!"
In the past few days, Ghost Spider had learned Ye Feng's name during his secret investigations.
Xiao Lanzi gritted his teeth at this moment, clearly holding Ye Feng responsible for this slap.
"Hmph, another group of ungrateful, self-important fools!"
Ghost Spider, standing next to Bloodpython, snorted coldly.
As Ye Feng and his group departed, more and more explorer teams, fearing they would fall behind, followed suit.
And so, it went from one to ten, ten to a hundred…
In just a few hours, most people at the Firefly Outpost had left. Even Bloodpython, who had been very calm, decided to lead his team to depart ahead of schedule.
…
Outside the only RV at the Firefly Outpost,
"Lord Bing, there are still 2 days until the appointed time, we…"
Qi Banxian looked at the person wearing the floral mask with a questioning gaze.
"That appointed time wasn't very precise. So many explorer teams have left early…"
"Perhaps something has changed in Desperate City. Let's follow them!"
The floral mask person replied indifferently.
"Alrighty!~"
As soon as the floral mask person finished speaking, a young man's cheerful voice came from inside the RV.
"Bang!~"
Immediately after, a loud crashing sound echoed.
It was a red armored vehicle that had "driven" out of the RV.
The front of the RV was instantly smashed with a huge hole, and the driving equipment like the steering wheel was crushed into a mess by the armored vehicle.
"Jiang Si Shan, you…"
Seeing this, Bi Mao was so angry his nose almost twisted.
That RV was something he had painstakingly acquired and used for resting wherever he went, but…
"Ah, my apologies!~"
"Senior Bi Mao, I just got this armored vehicle not long ago and I'm not very familiar with it!"
Jiang Si Shan appeared to realize his mistake belatedly.
"You absolutely did that on purpose!"
Bi Mao's eyes widened as he glared at Jiang Si Shan.
"Bi Mao, let's go!~"
"It's just an RV. After we get back to the base, we can find someone to get another one~"
Mei You, who had previously seemed to have a good relationship with Bi Mao, spoke in a calm tone this time.
"Hmph!"
Bi Mao snorted and got into the armored vehicle.
"These two guys… they can tolerate this. What exactly is your purpose in following Bing to Desperate City?"
Jiang Si Shan narrowed his eyes slightly.
As the floral mask person took the passenger seat, Jiang Si Shan stepped on the accelerator.
The entire armored vehicle charged forward, showing no sign of its usual clumsiness…
…
Actually, although Ye Feng had decided to leave early, because it was still at least a day until the relatively safe time,
Ye Feng and his group did not travel very far, stopping and starting along the way.
Without the noisy onlookers from the Firefly Outpost, all three of them were clearly more at ease.
Xiao Xiao, in particular, reacted the most noticeably! She hummed an unknown little tune all the way~
…
After lunch,
Xiao Xiao was familiarizing herself with the lightweight exoskeleton armor Ye Feng had given her. She was amazed by the device that could help her lift heavy objects without causing her any burden.
Ye Feng was practicing shooting with an AK47 equipped with a grenade launcher, occasionally adjusting his stance…
Ling Xi, who had removed her illusionary mask, looked up at the clear blue sky, a look of reminiscence on her face.
"Big brother, look!~"
At this moment, Xiao Xiao's cheerful voice rang out.
Ye Feng turned his head and saw Xiao Xiao perform a perfect standing jump, reaching a height of four to five meters.
"This exoskeleton armor is really something else~"
Ye Feng was somewhat surprised.
Even now, without external force, he could only jump about 3 meters directly from a standstill.
"Haha~"
Xiao Xiao was clearly fond of this lightweight exoskeleton armor and was trying out various movements, whether it was jumping, running, climbing trees, or moving large stones…
"Fortunately, the exoskeleton armor is solar-powered~"
Watching Xiao Xiao have so much fun, Ye Feng couldn't help but murmur.
"Eh?"
Suddenly, Ye Feng looked at Ling Xi with surprise.
Because at some point, a layer of silver armor had appeared on Ling Xi's calves.
He remembered that before, Ling Xi's silver armor only reached her ankles, like shoes.
Now, Ling Xi's calves were also covered in a layer of silver armor, which was connected to the previous armor, making it look like she was wearing a pair of silver boots.
The surface of the boots had mysterious runes, which gave Ye Feng a strange sense of familiarity!
He couldn't help but lean closer to examine them carefully.
"Little one, is it pretty?"
Suddenly, Ling Xi's red lips parted, and she smiled slightly.
"Ah?!"
At these words, Ye Feng's face immediately turned red.
Just now, Ling Xi was wearing a red skirt and sitting opposite him with her legs crossed. He had even crouched down to look at her…
"I… you… your skirt is a bit short, and even shorter when you sit on a chair… it… it will expose you…"
Ye Feng's face was as red as fire, and he explained somewhat stammeringly.
"Oh?"
"Then what did you see just now?"
Ling Xi looked at Ye Feng with a half-smile.
"I… I… I wasn't looking just now…"
Upon hearing this, Ye Feng became flustered, "I was looking at the runes on your silver boots just now. They gave me a sense of familiarity, I…"
"Runes? Familiarity?"
At this, Ling Xi's expression changed, and her beautiful eyes showed a deep disbelief.
"Big brother, many people are coming this way!"
Ling Xi was about to ask a question when Xiao Xiao's voice rang out.
It turned out that Xiao Xiao had been hopping around everywhere, occasionally climbing trees to observe their surroundings.
When she saw the approaching explorer convoy in the distance, she quickly ran back.
"Rumble rumble~……"
At this moment, Ye Feng also heard the dense roar of vehicles approaching from afar.
…
"Kid, the Desperate Potion is mine!"
"No one is getting it before me!"
The first to catch up to Ye Feng was a pickup truck. The bearded strongman in the driver's seat poked his head out and shouted at Ye Feng.
Then he accelerated and continued driving forward…
"Heh heh~ I'm the one who's going to get the Desperate Potion!~"
"This is the third time, this time I must reach the gates of Desperate City!~"
"Go to hell, you idiot!"
…
SUV after SUV drove past, with many of them shouting at Ye Feng, vowing to get the Desperate Potion…
"Let's go!"
Ye Feng, though indifferent to these people, did not want to fall too far behind the main group.
…
