My wife, who's in a vegetative state, please stop eavesdropping on my thoughts.

As the black void slowly expanded outwards, spreading outwards in concentric circles, it eventually transformed into the void fleshy sphere covering the palm.

Then, Weiss squeezed the greedy gold coin with all his might.

"Click—"

He grasped it with all his might.

The muscles on his arms were taut to the extreme, with veins barely visible.

The skull crusher's terrifying grip, comparable to that of a hydraulic press, was now being unleashed without reservation.

If it were a regular gold coin, it would have been crushed into dust long ago.

however--

The greedy gold coin remained completely still.

It showed no signs of deformation or distortion, remaining quietly contained within the void ball of flesh in his palm.

really......

What is indestructible is indestructible.

Whether the force applied is from a hydraulic press or a steel coil, it cannot cause the slightest damage to the greedy gold coins.

It seems that some forbidden items, though not very useful, involve the rules, which explains why even such inexplicable little gadgets are called forbidden items.

"Ding!"

Just then, the World Book that was floating to the side suddenly reacted.

Even without opening it, Weiss knew what was going on.

It's probably because the number of the "Greedy Gift" has been promoted.

It seems that the indestructible property has not been taken seriously before.

To all its predecessors, it was just a little trick to make counterfeit money, and no one ever thought of using this feature in the field of combat.

The numbering of the gift of greed has changed.

2045 → 2003

......

.....

Wei Xiao: ?

"Can"

Weiss nodded slightly, a hint of satisfaction in his voice.

"Just because I became aware of this function, its number has already been upgraded. It seems that this forbidden item still has a lot of room for improvement."

He was not surprised by this change.

Even though there have been no tangible results yet.

Its indestructibility alone is enough to make it incredibly overpowered, and its potential for future development is enormous.

With that, the problem regarding ability was finally resolved.

Weiss pocketed the greedy gift.

He then leaned against the inner wall of the carriage.

While resting with his eyes closed, he kept a close eye on the movements on the kill map.

To be fair, the number of Feathered Ones near the camp marked on the map is completely different from the actual number perceived by one's own wind field.

The difference is roughly double.

In other words, nearly half of the Feathered Ones chose to turn off the killing mode and lurk in the shadows, waiting for an opportunity to strike.

This is already the second day since we arrived at the camp.

There are very few lone feathered warriors left.

Currently, almost all of them are in a state of grouping up and sticking together for warmth.

Therefore, Weiss did not make a hasty move.

He simply observed the slowly moving 7th-tier Feathered One insignia, the red feather pattern.

Although the opponent's movement speed was already quite fast, much faster than that of ordinary eighth or ninth-tier Feather Warriors.

But Viss still felt that something was wrong.

The opponent's speed...

It doesn't seem like something a level 7 should have.

Of course, this was just a guess on his part.

Because the killing system is known for its fast movement speed.

But now, the opponent is clearly a Tier 7 Killer, and has two stacked multiplication bonuses, yet he only has this level of movement speed.

Weiss couldn't help but wonder if the other party was faking it.

Are they deliberately slowing down, trying to slack off from the back?

They wanted to use those low-level feathered warriors as cannon fodder to test the waters first, while they themselves would reap the benefits.

Or is it that... it wasn't a long-range sequence designed for speed to begin with?

Thinking of this, Weiss gently shook his head.

"Forget it, there's no point in worrying about it now."

"We'll know when they get here..."

He plans not to sleep tonight.

Based on the current pace, the 7th-tier Winged Warrior should arrive at the Moonlit City camp around dawn, at which point all the mysteries will be revealed.

Anyway, he now has the physical attribute boost from the Killing Sequence, and his physical fitness is far beyond that of ordinary people. Even if he stays up all night for a week, it won't be a big problem. At most, he will be a little mentally disoriented.

In special circumstances, you might as well just endure it for several days straight.

..

Soon, it was evening.

The sky gradually changed from orange-red to deep purple, eventually sinking into a deep black.

Wisps of smoke rose from the campsite.

After dinner, Vera, Neferpire, and Mona gathered around Elune's carriage.

The blue-clad rain-soaked warrior and Vera's bodyguard, Luya, were also chatting idly over there.

The campfire in the camp flickered with an orange glow, and the firewood occasionally crackled with a crisp sound.

Weiss sat to the side, listening silently to the group discuss the specific time to leave the camp.

Although everyone's initial plan was to wait for Adele to join them.

However, given the current situation, the Night Patrol Headquarters is slow to send reinforcements, and they cannot simply stay here and waste their time.

Who knows, this camp might be breached by the Feathered Ones one day.

By then, the camp will have fallen, and it will be questionable whether they can even escape, let alone wait for Adele.

So everyone turned their attention to Weiss and asked for his opinion.

After a moment of contemplation, Weiss...

He slowly opened his mouth and said a sentence.

"Wait one more day—"

"If Adele doesn't come, we'll head straight to the capital..."

Yes, I have to go.

Given the current situation, even 7th-tier Feathered Warriors have begun moving towards this area after the city was breached, and no one can stop them or dare to stop them along the way.

Nobody knows when those Tier 6 Feather Kings will start advancing.

Let's hope that Adele is unharmed on the front lines while they all end up dead.

Even if this decision seems a bit like being afraid of death, it doesn't matter.

To put it bluntly, Adele doesn't need them to wait at all.

With her strength, traversing the entire occupied zone alone wouldn't be difficult for her.

A level 7 combat power is still quite valuable.

Hearing Weiss say this, Nion of the Hayes family visibly breathed a sigh of relief.

He had been worried that the Selenes family was planning to wait for Adele to die.

In that case, given Vera's personality, she would definitely stay here and refuse to leave.

Now it's all right, Weiss himself suggested leaving.

At the same time, Nefertir turned to look at her aunt.

The man in blue shook his head silently, his tone indifferent.

"Don't wait for me, go with them."

"I haven't witnessed the end yet."

Hearing this, Nefertir was a little worried, but she still nodded in agreement.

In fact, her opinion was the same as Weiss's.

After all, none of their combined teams could provide a Tier 7 transcendent escort.

Instead of worrying about Adele, we should worry about whether they can reach the capital safely.

If Adele were here, she would definitely agree with Weiss's decision.

Ensuring Elune's safety is the top priority right now.

Nothing is more important than this.

Therefore, after some discussion, no one had any objections.

The evacuation time has been decided for tomorrow night.

Let's set off under the cover of night!

After the group parted ways, Weiss returned to the carriage alone.

Aunt Bai, who was peering out the window, had clearly heard their entire conversation. Her furry ears twitched slightly uneasily, and a hint of worry flickered in her eyes.

"Just one more day... can we hold on?"

"It's not a big problem."

Weiss nodded.

He knew that Aunt Bai was asking about the Feathered Ones on the killing map.

Waiting another day is certainly not a problem.

after all--

There was only one Rank 7 Feathered Warrior.

.....

Before long, most of the campfires in the camp had gone out, leaving only the occasional sound of footsteps from the changing of the guard.

Inside the carriage, Weiss sat cross-legged on the cushions, closing his eyes to rest.

Aunt Bai leaned against the window, gazing wistfully at the dark night sky outside.

Neither of them seemed inclined to go to sleep.

Weiss felt that, given their current level of depression, they could probably film an episode about Raccoon City.

A somber atmosphere filled the carriage. No one spoke, as they didn't know if Elune was asleep and neither of them wanted to disturb her at this moment.
