Doomsday Train, I went crazy by hoarding billions of items.

Chapter 116 Being Targeted

Without hesitation, Jiang Ran poured three bottles of insecticide into the large bucket.

Newbies aren't players, so they won't be affected by these things.

Soon, under the influence of the high concentration of insecticide, the insect eggs on Xiaobai died within just over ten seconds after detaching.

The water surface was covered with a thick layer of tiny insect corpses.

Ignoring her disgust, Jiang Ran lifted Xiao Bai out of the bucket and filled another bucket with seawater to rinse him clean.

After confirming that all the insect eggs on his body had been soaked out, Jiang Ran wrapped him up and put him directly into her spatial storage.

She went back to her previous room.

She moved the bed away, took out a medium-sized safe house and placed it in the center of the room. Then she sprayed insecticide all over the room, including herself, and after confirming that no insects had escaped, she entered the safe house and locked the door securely.

She placed Xiaobai on the floor of the safe house and was pleasantly surprised to find that Xiaobai had opened its eyes and weakly said, "Master, I'm hungry."

If a puppet can obtain energy from food, then wound healing should require even more energy.

Jiang Ran immediately took out a bunch of high-calorie foods like chocolate bars and fed them to Xiao Bai. Then she watched as the numerous holes on his body began to heal visibly as he ate the food.

After eating three chocolate bars, Xiaobai was able to sit up on his own. He took the cake from Jiang Ran and ate it in two bites, and the paleness on his face finally turned rosy.

Jiang Ran breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing this: "What just happened?"

Xiao Bai lowered its head and said, "Master, I'm sorry, it's my fault. When I saw a large group of strange insects suddenly gather on the deck, I immediately realized something was wrong and wanted to warn you. But for some reason, I couldn't move at all and could only watch helplessly as they crawled onto my body."

Jiang Ran pinched Xiao Bai's chin with her fingers, making him lift his head. She looked him up and down, and said with satisfaction, "Luckily, he's not disfigured."

Xiao Bai said, both amused and exasperated, "Master! If it weren't for your warning this time, I..."

Jiang Ran didn't have much of an opinion on this. Even with Xiaobai around, she couldn't possibly entrust her safety entirely to a puppet and lose her most basic vigilance.

This incident is the best example.

After all, to be honest, Xiaobai's stats are only a third of hers. Instead of expecting Xiaobai to shield her from all dangers, it's better to hope that the coordinates on that map fragment will make her even stronger.

So she simply waved her finger: "Tell me what happened before you couldn't move."

She initially thought these insects were just a crisis arising from a game instance, but when she heard Xiaobai say that he was inexplicably unable to move, she subconsciously opened the chat channel.

But neither the train section nor the world channel mentioned these strange insects.

This is impossible.

These insects aren't powerful enough to instantly incapacitate someone. Even if someone accidentally gets close, there should be time to react.

After all, players who manage to survive to the third dungeon usually have some advantages of their own.

But no one mentioned the insects; the discussion mostly revolved around the islands shrouded in fog and the pirates.

This is a bit interesting.

Combined with Xiaobai's inexplicable vulnerability to others, Jiang Ran instantly realized that she was being targeted in this incident.

Who has such ability?
Those so-called gods on Paro Island? Or were they the people I vaguely saw before leaving that pillar of light?
Or perhaps... they are simply gamers.

The person he/she really wanted to deal with was actually Xiaobai, who was disguised as a young lady. Given the disgusting nature and fighting prowess of these insects, Jiang Ran was actually more inclined towards the third possibility.

After all, given the trouble she'd gotten herself into before, if she really had a chance to make a move, she probably wouldn't be doing something so petty.

Besides, if they really wanted to deal with her, they would only target her, so why would they concentrate their firepower on Xiaobai?
After all, the number of insects in Jiang Ran's room was nothing compared to the swarm of insects on the deck.

Jiang Ran dismissively shooed Xiao Bai away to take a bath, and watching his somewhat dejected back, a faint, cold smile appeared on her lips.

very good.

It seems the young lady has been too easy to talk to lately, and some foolish person has set their sights on her again.

But what alarmed her even more was that Xiaobai had actually been infected from such a distance.

If it weren't for Xiaobai and the young lady's all-powerful disaster-shielding alt account, would she be the one being used as a breeding ground by the swarm of insects today?

Xiao Bai was ordered to take a full half-hour shower before being allowed to leave the bathroom.

Even so, Jiang Ran still felt that he, especially his hair, still smelled faintly of insecticide...

With a soft sigh, Jiang Ran said helplessly, "It's really been pickled to perfection. I guess we won't have to worry about being attacked by bugs again this time."

Xiao Bai's eyes immediately filled with guilt and self-blame, like a puppy whose fur was still dripping wet.

Jiang Ran was amused by his pitiful appearance: "Alright, it's not your fault. After all... you probably were originally after the young lady."

Having followed Jiang Ran for so long, Xiao Bai immediately understood Jiang Ran's meaning, and his face instantly darkened: "Someone wants to harm you?"

Jiang Ran chuckled and said, "It's been a while since I've met someone so reckless. But I'm a bit sleepy right now, let's talk about it after I wake up."

After saying that, he went back to his room, leaving Xiaobai sitting silently on the sofa outside, scrolling through the chat history, seemingly searching for something.

Perhaps it was true that resistance could protect against the mental pollution of those big-eyed people, because Jiang Ran slept soundly and peacefully, seemingly without even having a dream.

When she woke up, the fog had completely dissipated and the sea had returned to calm.

If it weren't for the bucket of highly concentrated "insect corpse water" still on the deck, no one would be able to tell what had happened to this ship before.

Jiang Ran lowered her eyes to look at the seawater, which had been stirred up to an extremely strange color, and gently took out a prop card.

These are some good finds from Zhezhou's "legacy".

[Item Card. Origin (Rare): When used on any item, it displays the two players most closely associated with that item.]

She knew this thing would come in handy someday when she acquired it, but she didn't expect it to be so soon.

She clicked "use" directly and then pointed the light from the card at the pile of insect corpses.

Soon, two IDs gleaming with golden light appeared in mid-air.

[Baby's burping again, doomsday warrior!]

Jiang Ran was speechless for a moment when those two names appeared.

However, the completely unfamiliar IDs also made her a little curious. Were these two so reckless in provoking her because they were certain they could kill the young lady in one fell swoop?
What is the picture?
