Yu Xingqiao manipulated the camera and curiously approached.

In the SUV, there were a total of two men and two women. 

The window glass behind them seemed to have been smashed by a stone and had broken a hole. The wind mixed with pouring rain constantly rushed into the car, four people looking very wretched.

“The hell with this weather!”

AD

 

 

A woman sitting in the back complained.

She was wearing a thin tunic, her body wet as if she had been soaked in water, her long chestnut hair dripping with water, and her body trembling slightly in the storm. 

Yu Xingqiao touched his chin, once again feeling the power of the game’s design, but ……

 

His family’s cub still looked the best!

“Peng——Peng——Peng——”

There were constantly stones and dead branches knocking on the door and window from the wind. The roaring wind outside blew away the woman’s curse.

 

“Talk less ba, conserve strength.”

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

The man was fit and strong: you could tell he practiced martial arts in one look, and the equipment in the car seemed quite professional.

So what were these NPCs here for? 

Yu Xingqiao tilted his head. Unlike other games, these NPCs do not have names on top of their heads.

He previously thought it was because those magical beasts were not named, so they were not labeled, but now he realized that the game simply did not have the function of labeling names.

This is too unfriendly for those with face blindness.

Yu Xingqiao spat out the sentence and continued to watch the development of the plot. 

The SUV suddenly stopped just as the woman wanted to say something.

“Laura, why did you stop?” The woman frowned and looked at the driver’s seat.

The person driving the car was a woman with short hair.

She didn’t answer and just stared dead ahead.

The umbrella was about two meters high, with a diameter of at least three or four meters. It even covered a few stones. 

There was obviously a violent storm, yet the umbrella stood steadily, not even a little tilted.

Even the rain flowing down the umbrella had become strings of bead curtains, falling vertically on the ground, and then spreading into the surrounding area.

And the strangest thing was, lying peacefully under the umbrella was a… cradle?

The cradle was also gently swaying. They could even see the white gauze shrouded over the cradle, the corner being blown by the wind. 

However, that gust was very small, like being ruffled by a slight breeze in spring, the whole atmosphere was cozy and comfortable.

Then looking at the fierce storm on their side……

The state of mind inexplicably collapsed a bit.

The woman uncomfortably ruffled her long wet hair and whispered, “Is …… that a cradle?” 

Her voice was a little shaky, unsure if she was cold or scared.

“How can such an umbrella appear in this wilderness? Also …… that cradle ……”

The man sitting in the passenger seat stammered, “We wouldn’t …… have come across some kind of mystical event ba?”

As for what kind of “mystical event”, looking at his fearful look, one would understand. 

“Don’t talk nonsense.”

The short-haired woman named Laura was the calmest one among them.

She pursed her lips and spoke, “In this world, there are many mysterious existences that we don’t know about. And there is no shortage of races in the wild that possess intelligence at birth.”

“You mean the intelligent races?” 

Laura shook her head, “I’m not sure, but to have such magical abilities …… we must not offend.”

The three people in the car all showed a look of approval.

 

Yu Xingqiao listened to their conversation and couldn’t help but click on the woman named Laura and pay 10 gold coins to detect her information.

Name: Laura 

Gender: Female

Identity: Institute Sample Collector

Strength: Middle-Rank Martial Arts

Status: Tired, hungry 

“What does Institute Sample Collector mean?” Yu Xingqiao asked the System.

[Go into the wilderness to collect biological and geological samples and sell them to the Institute to earn high pay: a high-risk occupation.]

Wow, there’s actually a profession like this?

He clicked on the others and found that they were all similar; only the one in the passenger seat was a guide. 

“Then why did they come here?”

[Passing by.]

Yu Xingqiao: “……”

The four people in the game did not immediately leave. 

“Laura, shouldn’t we get out of here first? Maybe there are magical beasts guarding around ……”

The woman did not say anything further and a trace of fear appeared in her eyes.

Laura gripped the steering wheel tightly and said with a white face, “The car, can’t move.”

Only to see her slam on the gas pedal, however, they can only hear the sound of wheels rolling in place, the car did not move at all. 

There was something crunching and rattling besides the sound of clattering rain.

The two men were already on alert and quickly took out their defensive laser guns.

 

Yu Xingqiao watched the scene, also felt a touch of tension. He could not help but manipulate the camera, pulling the view out of the car to the panoramic view.

It was raining cats and dogs, and it was night again. The vision was very blurry. 

Yu Xingqiao hugged the pillow a little tighter.

“System, what’s wrong with their car? Why can’t it run?”

[Look at the back of the car.]

Yu Xingqiao gulped, driven by curiosity, and adjusted the lens to look at the back of the SUV. 

In the dizzying rain, a pair of green glowing eyes suddenly appeared on the game screen, startling Yu Xingqiao.

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

And what kind of monster is this?

The two men in the car put on raincoats and, while holding a flashlight in one hand and a laser gun in the other, jumped down from the car. 

They looked at each other and moved cautiously to the back of the SUV.

Under the flashlight, the monster that was pulling their car finally revealed its full appearance.

The long, dark green body, lying on its back, the scales covering its body reflecting faintly in the light of the flashlight.

Its mouth was open and it struck out its long tongue that was the size of an adult’s arm, pulling on one of the bars at the back of the SUV. 

The two men’s faces ran cold for a moment.

“It’s a long-tongued giant monitor!”

The man who first told his female companions to keep quiet and save her strength shouted loudly, raising his laser gun and firing a shot at the monitor’s tongue.

However, he missed, and the giant monitor quickly retracted its tongue. 

“Quick, drive!” The other man ran back to the car.

Yet it still wouldn’t drive – that monitor had once again extended its long tongue and pulled on the SUV.

 

To their despair, the Pa Ta Pa Ta of running sounded——
