I'm in the Ark, a player.

Kroos frowned, staring intently at the group, and said irritably,

"—They're setting us up in an ambush, trying to rob us!"

The current situation is terrible.

2 against 20, extremely disadvantageous.

It's unclear whether she and Qin Tianling can escape from this group.

Chapter 138, Hehe, she believed it, she really believed it!

The instant Kroos finished speaking, one of the bandits pulled the trigger, and a crossbow bolt shot directly at Kroos.

Qin Tianling reacted swiftly, grabbing Kroos's clothes and pulling her towards him. An arrow pierced Kroos's black hair, then shot backward again.

Qin Tianling then dragged Kroos behind a rock as cover.

"Damn it, who fired that crossbow?"

After the crossbow bolts were fired, the leader questioned his men behind him, seemingly very dissatisfied with someone acting without authorization.

"Boss, just kill the man and the demon."

Besides, if we don't finish them off quickly, are we going to keep them as hostages?

The bandit who had fired the crossbow answered as he reloaded it.

"--Are you going to expect someone from a big company to be able to do this kind of dirty and tiring work?"

We've been waiting here but haven't found any more goods, so let's just accept it.

If we actually arrest these two, not only will we not get any money, but we'll also be targeted by bounty hunters in the area.

"Hurry up and pack it up. See if there's anything valuable to sell."

Upon hearing his subordinate's words, the leader pondered for a moment.

Being targeted by bounty hunters is definitely not a good thing.

It seems there's a super-strong, white-haired woman with a greatsword who's been working as a bounty hunter lately, and she happens to be wandering around this area.

I heard that she's a monster. More than forty wanted criminals launched a counterattack against her, but she finished them off in three minutes in a one-on-one fight, without a scratch!

This rumor originated from the more than forty wanted criminals who escaped at the time.

When the other side took down more than twenty people in one go, the rest ran away.

Because so many people were trying to escape, the monster only managed to stop one person, allowing the rest to escape and then pass on the message.

"Hmph... What you said makes some sense. Let's do it this way!"

The leader nodded, lowered the axe from his shoulder, and then waved to his men, pointing to the place where Qin Tianling and his group were hiding.

"Kill them all."

Ruined!

When Kroos, who was hiding behind a rock and crouching low, heard these words, her face turned extremely ugly.

I initially thought I could be taken hostage and wait for Rhodes Island to rescue me!

I'm afraid I'll be killed on the spot by so many people!

Facing 20 people is already a problem.

She's still the one without any real combat ability.

Because she didn't bring her drone with her this time!

Kroos, Kroos!

Why didn't you bring your own drone?!

wrong

It seems she was originally going to bring it along, but wanted to make Qin Tianling work harder by carrying more goods.

So I deliberately didn't bring it!

Oh no, oh no, this is terrible!!!

"You seem very scared?"

Qin Tianling's voice rang out from the side, and Kroos turned around to retort.

"Nonsense, who wouldn't be afraid in this situation?!"

"is it?"

Compared to Kroos's somewhat flustered state, Qin Tianling was much calmer.

Seeing Qin Tianling's composed demeanor, Lucille somehow felt a sense of security emanating from him.

Correct,

A feeling of peace of mind

Even in this situation, he remained completely unfazed.

Even that carefree, nonchalant attitude from before is gone.

For a moment, Kroos actually felt that with Qin Tianling around, everything would have a chance and be possible.

How strange.

How amazing!

But Kroos doesn't dislike this moment of peace of mind.

"Can you get in touch with Rhodes Island?"

Qin Tianling asked, pointing to the tactical headset on his ear.

Although it was just a routine mission, Qin Tianling and Kroos wore these headsets when they went on missions in order to maintain communication in areas without communication base station coverage.

Kroos shook her head.

"We can't get in touch with them; this area is just outside the communication range."

"I see."

Qin Tianling nodded, then turned to look at the location of their pickup truck.

They were some distance away.

If Kroos were to blindly run out to P.E.K.K.A., she would definitely be riddled with bullets.

A simple and direct approach isn't necessarily wrong.

However, what Qin Tianling wanted to do was slightly different.

You know, before getting on the train, Kroos said those kinds of things, as if they were words that came out of her own mouth.

In other words, to make things interesting now...

I have a plan!

After a brief moment of thought, Qin Tianling spoke to Kroos.

"Kroos, I'll distract them for a bit, then you run towards Pikachu."

Kroos naturally understood Qin Tianling's meaning. She bit her lower lip lightly and looked at Qin Tianling, asking,

And what about you?

"I?"

Qin Tianling spoke almost without thinking.

“Once you drive away, they will definitely chase after you, and then I will have a chance to escape.”

"...Will this really work?"

Seeing Qin Tianling's confident demeanor, Lucille became somewhat worried.

"Don't worry, if it really comes down to running, you can't outrun me, believe it or not."

Having said that, a little helper appeared in Qin Tianling's hand.

This was a weapon he had carefully chosen after much deliberation.

"But there are so many of them, it's too dangerous to rely on just a replica gun..."

Kroos looked at the gun in Qin Tianling's hand and still felt something was amiss.

She was also aware of the power of the replica firearms.

Encountering lightly armored enemies is manageable, but if you encounter heavily armored enemies, you'll really be left with nothing but polishing them up!

Qin Tianling responded to this in the following way.

"This is my strongest weapon, don't underestimate it."

"But.........."

There are no "buts".

Kroos tried to say something, but Qin Tianling interrupted her and grabbed her by the collar.

"The other party has already booked it, and time is running out."

All you have to do is trust me, just trust me.

Qin Tianling's lips curled into a wide grin, revealing his usual radiant smile.

Then the next second,

He pulled Kroos toward him!

They printed it without saying a word.

Completely unprepared for Qin Tianling's actions at this moment, Lucille instinctively gritted her teeth, and unsurprisingly, the Blood Demon's blood-sucking fangs bit through Qin Tianling's lip.

That warm, blood-rust-like liquid surged into my mouth, mixed with his unique scent, rushing straight to my brain.

Such an incomparably sweet smell of blood and rust, such an unexpected attack,

In that instant, she did her most instinctive thing: she stuck out her tongue to lick the wound she had bitten, and even forgot to push Qin Tianling away.

until--

Qin Tianling pushed Kroos away.

Without the overwhelming scent of Qin Tianling's blood, Lucille finally regained her senses and realized what Qin Tianling had just done to her.

This guy actually did this to me!

How dare he!

This scoundrel, what's wrong with his head?! Trying to take advantage of me at a time like this?!

"Qin Tianling, you bastard, what are you doing!"

...Qintianling?

The angry words had barely left her mouth when Lucille saw Qin Tianling's figure rush out from behind the cover.

The trigger was pulled, and a gunshot rang out.

Qin Tianling's words also rang in Kroos's earpiece.

"Now!"

Run! Get out of here!

The taste of his blood still lingered on Kroos's tongue, and the sensation of their kiss still lingered on her lips. But upon hearing those words, she couldn't help but realize that the plan had begun.
