Monster collectors on the cross-platform

It's understandable that Duke Whiteman, a local bigwig, only found out recently, so it's normal that others didn't know.

"In that case, why don't you come with me tonight?"

"So fast?" Upon hearing this, Launa's hand holding the coffee trembled slightly, clearly caught off guard by Huo's words.

However, Launa did not refuse Huo's invitation.

Regardless of whether Huo makes a move that night, Launa needs to witness the target's death with her own eyes. After all, she has accepted the commission, and she cannot afford to lose her credibility.

After finishing his coffee, Huo sat for a while before getting up to leave.

Seeing this, Launa naturally followed.

Despite Launa's sudden appearance, Huo did not cancel his previous decision and still planned to wander around the city.

After leaving the coffee shop, Huo randomly picked a direction and started walking.

Seeing this, Launa, who was following behind, had no choice but to hurry up and catch up.

Since the other party knew the whereabouts of that group of extraordinary people, and he had no information of his own, he had no choice but to follow Huo Huan.

Leaving the café, the streets were lined with clothing and luxury goods stores, but Huo naturally had little interest in them.

After walking for a while, the shops on the surrounding streets gradually became fewer, and some tall chimneys could be vaguely seen through the rooftops.

Looking at the continuous stream of black smoke from the chimneys, it was clear that an industrial area was ahead.

Compared to Rosenthal, Child has far more factories and its air quality is far worse.

Instead of continuing forward, Huo changed direction and continued to wander aimlessly.

As dusk fell, Huo returned to the place he had arranged to meet the butler, as it was almost time.

Not long after, the butler arrived at the roadside in his car right on time.

Although the butler had some doubts about Huo Huan's female companion, he wisely refrained from asking further questions.

Since we came together, let's take them all back together; it's just one more person on the bus.

With Huo Huan and Launa in tow, the car quickly returned to Duke Whiteman's estate.

"Master Huo Huan, who is this?" Duke Whiteman looked at Launa, who got out of the car with Huo Huan, and couldn't help but feel a little puzzled.

"Her name is Laura, she's kind of my companion, and this is Duke Whiteman."

Duke Buttmann understood what Huo Huan meant.

His companion seemed to be another extraordinary person, but considering Huo Huan's identity, Duke Whiteman found it quite normal.

As for Launa, she was somewhat surprised, not expecting that Huo would have some connection with the local duke.

At Duke Whiteman's invitation, the group quickly arrived at the restaurant.

The table was still long and straight, filled with dozens of exquisite dishes. Aina, whom I hadn't seen that morning, was now at the table.

After a few brief pleasantries, the group quickly settled into a conversation while eating.

The meal was very long, lasting nearly two hours. By the time the banquet ended, it was completely dark outside.

"Aren't you going to do anything?" Huo couldn't help but ask, looking at the dessert that the servants had brought out.

"Master Huo, don't worry. Those people won't act until midnight. Let's have some dessert first. These are pastries made by a pastry chef I specially hired," Duke Whiteman said with a smile, reassuring Huo. He then pointed to the desserts on the table and introduced them.

Seeing this, Huo could only suppress his restless mood and begin to taste the desserts on the table.

To be fair, this pastry chef's skills were quite good, but Launa enjoyed the meal very much.

It was nearly midnight when the people arranged by Duke Butman were finally about to begin their operation. Duke Butman, of course, would not participate personally; instead, the middle-aged butler of the Duke's household would lead the way.

Chapter 186 Annihilation

The butler was still driving, but this time the direction was no longer towards the city center, but towards the suburbs.

Following behind Huo Huan and his entourage were several larger troop carriers, filled with musketeers armed with live ammunition.

That's right, Huo Huan wasn't the main force in this operation. Inviting Huo Huan was just a precaution, mainly to prevent any unexpected events from happening.

The car was traveling at a high speed, and soon arrived at the outskirts of Child.

At this point, there were hardly any tall buildings in sight, and even streetlights were scarce. Under the illumination of car headlights and moonlight, one could barely make out the surrounding scenery.

Several tens of minutes later, the vehicle slowly came to a stop, and Huo got out and looked ahead.

Ahead was a rather large, dilapidated courtyard, silent and seemingly deserted.

However, these were just illusions. In Huo Huan's perception, there were five figures clearly visible in the courtyard.

At this time, the soldiers in the troop carrier also got off the vehicle one after another, each carrying a rifle in their arms. In the end, they even unloaded two machine guns from the vehicle.

It seems that the world's weapons development is quite fast; they already have machine guns.

After the two machine guns were set up, dozens of soldiers armed with rifles immediately surrounded the courtyard.

The group inside the courtyard had clearly noticed the soldiers with real guns outside, but none of them dared to make a move out of fear of the weapons in the soldiers' hands.

After all the soldiers were in position, at the commander's order to "attack," several grenades were thrown out, aimed directly at the courtyard.

A series of loud explosions rang out, and the people hiding in the courtyard could no longer hide and fled outside.

"Fire!" Upon seeing someone fleeing, the commander immediately issued the order to attack.

Gunfire erupted, and countless bullets rained down.

In the blink of an eye, two of the five were shot dead, and one was seriously wounded and collapsed.

Seeing this, the remaining two knew that things were probably not going to end well today, so they revealed their true colors and prepared to break out.

"Awoo~" With a wolf howl, the remaining two grew black fur all over their bodies, their mouths protruded, and their backs were slightly bent.

"Are these werewolves?" Huo looked at the two who had transformed into werewolves with great interest, still showing no intention of taking action himself.

After transforming into werewolves, the two moved much faster.

Taking advantage of a moment when some soldiers were reloading, the two werewolves immediately prepared to break out.

Just then, a metallic roar erupted from the soldiers' ranks as two machine guns positioned at the rear opened fire.

The bullets, denser and more powerful than before, swept in like a metallic storm.

In the blink of an eye, the two werewolves were torn into a pile of minced meat.

"Report! The enemy has been completely annihilated!"

"Very good, remain vigilant."

After giving the order, the butler looked at Huo Huan, since it involved supernatural forces, it was best to be cautious.

Seeing this, Huo did not refuse and stepped towards the courtyard, which had been reduced to ruins.

Just as Huo took a step forward, one of the people who seemed to be dead suddenly got up, then transformed into a semi-transparent ghost and fled rapidly into the distance.

Knowing that the other party was faking death, Huo Huan naturally wouldn't let him escape so easily. He lightly stomped his foot, and a ground spike covered in lava immediately rose from below the man.

"Ah!" After a shrill scream, a charred corpse lay on the ground.

"Alright, we can clean up the scene now." After confirming that there was no longer any sign of life, Huo turned to the butler and said.

"Yes, Master Huo Huan." Upon hearing Huo Huan's words, the steward, who was still shocked by the appearance of the earth spikes, immediately reacted and arranged for the soldiers to clean up the battlefield.

Meanwhile, Laura, who had been idly observing all day, emerged from behind and ran into the now-ruined courtyard, looking around as if searching for something.

Finally, Launa found a small carving pen in a pile of ruins.

Huo Huan didn't bother with this, as he didn't think there would be anything useful to him in this world that was nearing the end of its Dharma.

Seeing that the matter was over, Huo prepared to leave immediately.

After his attempts to persuade Huo to stay failed, the butler could only watch as Huo disappeared into the night sky.

By the time Huo returned to the cabin, it was already late at night.

The girls, including Yi Cuisi, were already asleep in their respective rooms, so Huo naturally wouldn't go in and disturb them.

The next morning, Huo, who had been delayed for a day, led the women back into the real battlefield.

"Welcome 'Jin Li Le', a player from the Cross-Network, to the Future Spaceship. You can view more details in the chat channel."

As always, a clear female voice welcomed Huo Huan's arrival. Although it wasn't the first time, this kind of welcoming style still made Huo Huan feel a little uncomfortable.

However, this feeling of unease lasted for less than a second before Huo quickly composed himself.

This wasn't Huo's first time entering the chat channel, so he naturally didn't need to look at the information again.

The spaceship we entered this time was not the same one as the last one, but it didn't look too different from the inside, so it was probably just a standard type of spaceship.

Huo went to the window, but the view outside was completely different from what he had seen before.

Instead of numerous stars and a vast universe, there is a tunnel filled with strange colors.

"Attention passengers, we are about to pass through a space tunnel. There may be slight turbulence. Please be careful."

As the woman's voice faded, the Future quake shuddered slightly and soon appeared in an unfamiliar universe.

So that was the scene inside the space tunnel?

Huo was still curious about the colorful tunnel he had just seen. After all, teleportation from the network was instantaneous, and this was the first time he had ever seen a spatial tunnel like this.

As the spaceship flew out of the space tunnel, the target planet of this voyage came into view before Huo Huan.

Compared to the previous blue planet, this one looks even less suitable for human habitation.

At first glance, not only was there no green, which represents life, but there was also no blue, which represents the ocean. There was only a grayish-yellow that looked dilapidated.

The spaceship was flying very fast, and soon it passed through the atmosphere and arrived above the fortress.

However, the situation at the fortress seemed to be dire this time. A large number of corrupted monsters were surrounding the fortress, and even the original landing point of the spaceship was piled up with monsters.

Besides these monsters that relied on sheer numbers, Huo also saw a powerful monster tens of meters tall, whose body resembled a composite of several buildings.

Judging from its scent, it is undoubtedly the source of pollution on this planet.
