Chapter 22：

Yu Xingqiao controlled the camera and approached the past curiously.

In the off-road vehicle, there were two men and two women.

The window glass behind them seemed to have been smashed into a hole by a stone. The wind and pouring rain continued to rush into the car, and the four of them looked very embarrassed.

"This **** weather!"

A woman sitting behind complained.

She was wearing a thin gown, her whole body was as if soaked in water, wet, her chestnut hair was dripping with water, and she was shaking slightly in the storm.

Yu Xingqiao touched his chin and felt the power of game modeling again, but...

It's still the best looking cub in his family!

"Bang-bang-bang-"

There were pebbles and dead branches constantly being hit by the wind on the doors and windows of the car, and the roaring wind blowing away the woman's curse.

"Stop talking and save your energy."

The man sitting next to her was also wet, but his mental state was obviously better than that of the woman.

The man has a strong body and looks like he is practicing, and the equipment in the car seems to be very professional.

So what are these NPCs doing?

Yu Xingqiao tilted his head, and unlike other games, none of these NPCs had names on their heads.

He thought that the monsters hadn't named them, so they didn't mark them, but now he knows that this game doesn't have the function of marking names at all.

This is too unfriendly to face blindness.

Yu Xingqiao complained and continued to watch the development of this plot.

The woman just wanted to say something when the buggy stopped suddenly.

"Laura, why did you stop?" The woman frowned, looking at the driver's seat.

The driver was a short-haired woman.

She didn't answer, she just stared straight ahead.

The other three people found something wrong, followed her gaze, and then fell into a sluggishness.

I saw a few stones scattered about a few tens of meters away from them during the storm. This was an ordinary scene, but beside these stones, unexpectedly...

With an umbrella in?

The umbrella is about two meters high, and the diameter of the umbrella surface is at least three or four meters, covering a few stones.

Obviously a violent storm was blowing, but the umbrella stood steadily, without tilting at all.

Even the rainwater falling straight down the umbrella along the flying stream was strung into a string of bead curtains, which fell vertically to the ground, and then spread out towards the surroundings.

And the strangest thing is that under the umbrella, there is a... cradle?

The cradle was still swaying slightly, and they could even see the white veil shrouded above the cradle, a corner being blown by the wind.

However, the amplitude is very small, just like being lifted by the slight breeze in spring, the whole atmosphere is comfortable and comfortable.

Look at the violent storms on their side...

The mentality is a bit collapsed inexplicably.

The woman brushed her wet long hair uncomfortably, and whispered: "That...is that a cradle?"

Her voice trembled a little, and she didn't know if it was cold or scared.

"How could such an umbrella appear in this wilderness? And...there is also that cradle..."

The man sitting in the passenger seat stammered, "We are not... have we encountered some mysterious incident?"

As for what kind of mysterious event, you can see his face of fear.

"Don't talk nonsense."

The short-haired woman named Laura is the most calm of them.

She pursed her lips and said, "In this world, there are many mysterious existences that we don't know, and there are many races with wisdom from birth in the wild."

"You mean the intelligent race?"

Laura shook her head, "I don't know, but can have such a magical ability...We must not offend."

All three people in the car showed a look of approval.

Listening to their conversation, Yu Xingqiao couldn't help but click on the woman named Laura, and paid 10 gold coins to detect her information.

Name: Laura

Gender: Female

Identity: Research Institute sample collector

Strength: Intermediate martial arts

Status: tired, hungry

"What does the research institute sample collector mean?" Yu Xingqiao asked the system.

[Going to the wild to collect biogeological samples and sell them to the research institute to earn high rewards is a high-risk occupation. 】

Wow, there is such a career?

He clicked on other people's and found that they were all similar, except that the one in the front passenger seat was the guide.

"Then why are they here?"

【Passing by】

Yu Xingqiao: "..."

The four people in the game did not leave immediately.

"Laura, shall we leave here first? Maybe there are monster guards around..."

The woman did not go on, a trace of fear appeared in her eyes.

Laura squeezed the steering wheel, her face pale and said: "The car, can't move."

She slammed on the accelerator, but could only hear the sound of wheels rolling on the spot, but the car didn't move.

In addition to the sound of rain, there was a creaking noise.

The two men were on guard, and quickly took out their self-defense laser guns.

Looking at this scene, Yu Xingqiao also felt a little nervous. He couldn't help but manipulate the lens, pulled out of the car, and incorporated the panorama into the picture.

It was raining heavily, and it was night again, and the vision was blurry.

Yu Xingqiao hugged the pillow tightly.

"System, what happened to their car? Why can't it run?"

[Look at the back of the car]

Yu Xingqiao swallowed, driven by curiosity, he adjusted the lens and looked behind the off-road vehicle.

In the misty heavy rain, a pair of eyes glowing with faint green light suddenly appeared on the game screen, shocking Yu Xingqiao.

But with the experience of being scared by the big octopus before, this time he quickly calmed down.

Is this another monster?

The two men in the car, wearing raincoats, holding a flashlight in one hand and a laser gun in the other, jumped out of the car.

They glanced at each other and moved cautiously to the back of the off-road vehicle.

Under the light of the flashlight, the monster holding their car finally revealed the whole picture.

The long dark green body lay prone on the ground, and the scales covering the whole body slightly reflected in the light of the flashlight.

Its mouth was open, and its long feet stretched out with an adult's arm-thin tongue, which pulled a pole behind the off-road vehicle.

The blood on the faces of the two men disappeared for a moment.

"It's a long tongue monitor lizard!"

At the beginning, the female companion was asked not to speak. The man who saved his energy yelled aloud, raised the laser gun and shot it at the lizard's tongue.

However, he did not shoot, and the monitor quickly retracted its tongue.

"Drive fast!" The other man ran back into the car.

However, it still couldn't drive—the monitor lizard stretched out its long tongue again to grab the off-road vehicle.

And to their despair, a patter of running sounded—

There is another monitor lizard!

The man who was still outside shot and ran, but the second monitor lizard did not chase him. After running a few steps, he turned his head to look at the off-road vehicle.

Its long tongue threw out and easily shattered the windshield of the off-road vehicle. Amidst the woman's scream, it wrapped Laura and dragged her out of the car.

Laura was calm, already holding a dagger in her hand, and rolling on the spot at the moment she landed, swiping a knife by instinct in the heavy rain!

Her dagger hit the monitor lizard's long tongue.

After the monitor lizard was in pain, his long tongue was retracted.

It's just that her dagger is not sharp enough to cut off the monitor lizard's tongue.

"Boom-boom -"

Behind her, there was a sound of a car engine starting.

Laura looked back suddenly, looked at her companions incredulously, and drove away in her off-road vehicle.

In the heavy rain, the monitor lizard that was holding the off-road vehicle had loosened its long tongue and rushed toward her at a swift speed.

There was a trace of despair in Laura's eyes.

In such a wilderness, it was stormy again, and she was exhausted physically and mentally. How could she survive in the face of two long-tongued monitor lizards?

She lost consciousness for only a second.

Before the monitor lizard came closer, she rushed to her death.

The direction of escape is the umbrella and cradle!

It's just that her speed is not as fast as that of the monitor lizard. As soon as she ran a few meters away, her ankle was caught by the monitor lizard's long tongue. She fell to the ground with a plop and was dragged back by the monitor lizard.

The monitor lizard will not kill the prey immediately, but will drag the living thing back into the cave and eat it up a little bit, which is very cruel.

"Help! Please help me!"

Laura stuck the dagger on the ground, and after being dragged for a few meters, she finally got stuck in a stone.

She shouted in the direction of the umbrella.

[Ding~ Trigger a side mission [See the injustice on the road]]

[Quest content: Please help the cub rescue [Laura] from the long-tongued monitor lizard]

[Task reward: gold coins x100, number of draws x1, main task progress +0.1%]

Yu Xingqiao has been watching the progress of the plot nervously. When the task box popped up, he remembered that he was playing a game, not watching a horror movie.

Phoo~

He quietly breathed a sigh of relief. The plot was so realistic and scary.

Suddenly, seeing the main task progress + 0.1% reward, he couldn't help blinking, and then he remembered the main task content-to train the cubs into a socialist successor with comprehensive development of morality, intelligence, physical education, and labor!

Well, this side task is probably regarded as "moral education"?

But Zai Zai is sleeping!

Yu Xingqiao glanced at Jun Li's state, Lan He's body was still very low, and his exhaustion was not relieved.

His eyes fell on the miserable female NPC again.

It's very pitiful, and it's really not good to let it go.

Hey, then he is the only one to take the shot.

Yu Xingqiao moved his finger, and then released Lan from the pet compartment—he still read the log of the cub, only to realize that Xiao Junlu could send Lan into the pet compartment.

Zai Zai is so smart!

Lan appeared next to the cradle with a dazed expression.

"Stay here and protect the cubs."

A line of small golden characters suddenly appeared in front of its eyes, and Lan couldn't help being stunned. It should be illiterate, but looking at this line of characters, it instantly understood what it meant—

Let it stay in place and protect its master.

Lan suddenly became alert, and it also heard the movement from the rain curtain.

After the Lan was settled, Yu Xingqiao turned his attention to Laura.

Two monitor lizards, one on the left and one on the right, wrapped her two legs with their tongues, and were dragging her to their nest.

Laura gritted her teeth, clutched the dagger desperately, and her entire lower body was suspended in the air.

The palm of her hand was cut with a knife blade. As soon as the blood gushed out, it was washed away by the rain. The will to survive made her temporarily forget the pain.

In the blurred vision, she seemed to see a silver-white figure appearing under the umbrella.

She wants to ask for help, but as soon as she speaks out, her enthusiasm will definitely vent.

How to do? Is it really going to die here?

At this moment, the pulling force on her feet suddenly loosened, and she fell to the ground, muddy water splashed on her face, but she didn't care about wiping it, and only looked back.

For some reason, the two monitor lizards rolled on the ground painfully, as if someone was attacking them.

Laura was taken aback, and suddenly looked in the direction of the umbrella.

The cradle under the umbrella was still shaking gently, and beside the cradle, a silver-white figure squatted.

In the rain curtain, she couldn't see what creature it was, but she knew that the guardian of the cradle must have helped her!

Laura looked at the two monitor lizards again.

She gritted her teeth, pulled out the dagger stuck on the ground, and rushed towards one of them.

Yu Xingqiao was poking at the monitor lizard, and suddenly saw the female NPC rushing over, the dagger in her hand glowing with a blue light in the night.

I saw her hand up the knife and drop it, and directly smashed a monitor lizard!

So cruel...

Yu Xingqiao sighed, but didn't stop his hands until Laura killed the second monitor lizard.

However, after the two monitor lizards died, there was no prompt to complete the task of [Road Seeing Injustice].

Yu Xingqiao was a little puzzled, could it really be the reason why Zai Zai did not participate? But cub is sleeping, waking up will affect your health!

After looking at the female NPC who fell to the ground exhausted after killing the monitor lizard, Yu Xingqiao couldn't bear it, so he clicked her and dragged her under the umbrella to avoid the rain.

Seeing that she was soaked, Yu Xingqiao opened the mall and bought her a blanket to cover it.

Lan dutifully squatted beside the cradle.

It tilted its head and looked at the floating woman, then looked at the blanket that appeared out of thin air, thoughtfully.

After Yu Xingqiao finished all this, he nodded in satisfaction, and just wanted to see the cub, when the phone prompt sounded, and a text message appeared.

[Qiaoqiao, why didn't it go online yesterday? Let's drive the black together, wait four and one, come on! 】

【okay】

Yu Xingqiao habitually replied, and when he skillfully opened another mobile game, he couldn't help but froze.

Um, just play other games. Zipzai shouldn't mind, right?
