Chapter 181 Light Bow
Xia Qingrou rolled a motorcycle out from the shed and twisted the throttle, the motorcycle roared to life.
"Isn't it cool?" Xia Qingrou boasted about her motorcycle, "It could sell for at least a hundred thousand outside!"
"Did Buque issue it?" Shen Mochen observed, immediately noticing its strong off-road capabilities.
"Of course, without a vehicle, how could we catch up to monsters on foot!" Xia Qingrou pointed to the nearby gas tank, "You can refuel here for free, it seems there's a fuel pipe underground. Naturally, because of that mining genius, refueling now has a limit too!"
Shen Mochen's eyes twitched slightly; wasn't this blocking the way for others to take advantage?
"Get on, we need to hurry." Xia Qingrou tossed a helmet to Shen Mochen, "Remember to fasten your helmet. When facing monsters, it's better to wear as much as possible!"
Shen Mochen put on the helmet and sat down on the motorcycle, "Can this really protect against monsters?"
"It can't, but it can protect against some stones and bumps. After all, our bodies are fragile and can easily be affected!" Xia Qingrou said, "Hold on tight!" Your next journey awaits at My Virtual Library Empire
Shen Mochen had heard Cai Yuncui remind him of this before, but speaking of which, Xia Qingrou herself wasn't wearing a helmet, probably because she was skilled and therefore very casual about it.
Shen Mochen then hugged Xia Qingrou's waist; the sweet citrus scent of her body wafted over.
Xia Qingrou suddenly shivered.
"What's wrong?" Shen Mochen asked.
"Oh... it's nothing, I'm going to accelerate now!"
As soon as she finished speaking, the motorcycle shot out like an arrow. Xia Qingrou pulled hard on the throttle, and the speed was incredibly fast.
The motorcycle sped across the wilderness; the lush wild grass occasionally cut into his pants, and the evening wind whooshed in his face, with the sound of the cool breeze wailing in his ears.
For some reason, the usually chatty Xia Qingrou was silent during the ride. Shen Mochen, holding her waist, felt her shivering slightly.
Was it cold? Shen Mochen was a bit cold too, especially since Xia Qingrou was wearing only a thin JK uniform.
"If you're cold, Xia, we could go slower," Shen Mochen said softly, sniffing her faint body fragrance.
"Ah... what did you say?" Xia Qingrou seemed distracted, and she seemed surprised when Shen Mochen suddenly spoke.
The wind howled; Shen Mochen leaned close to Xia Qingrou's ear and shouted, "I said, if you're cold, we could go slower!"
A bit of warm breath hit Xia Qingrou's ear, and she shivered again without saying anything, but indeed, she slowed down.
Shen Mochen's arms loosened slightly, not holding her as tightly as before.
Perhaps Xia Qingrou wasn't cold; Shen Mochen felt her body was warm like a little furnace.
The two moons hung high in the sky, shedding their silver light over the land, illuminating every blade of grass and tree.
Xia Qingrou drove the motorcycle at full speed, and suddenly asked, "By the way, do you like Nuclear Girls?"
Hearing the name of the girl idol group at this time was clearly out of place. Shen Mochen was slightly stunned and then realized something, "I don't have any feelings about them, I heard Sister Cai mention that Han Muxue didn't like this group, so I won't bring it up in front of everyone."
"It's good that Sister Cai told you!"
As they spoke, they could already hear the monsters' roaring.
"Do you want to look up and see? You've definitely never seen this view before!" Xia Qingrou added.
Shen Mochen looked up, facing a surreal scene.
A huge, dark red fissure had torn the sky, at least tens of meters high, resembling a shattered two-dimensional mirror or a monstrous scar across the world.
From his current angle, the crack was situated between the twin moons, as if a devil from hell had just opened its eyes.
During the day, Shen Mochen had listened to Cai Yuncui explain that monsters emerged from this crack.
Although the fissure seemed large, relative to the entire nexus it was merely a minor wound, and it was Buque's duty to act as a bandage, applying a patch wherever there was a wound.
A small cut on the body simply needed one bandage. But what if the body was completely shattered... would it need a thousand, ten thousand bandages?
While Shen Mochen pondered this, he suddenly heard a rustling sound and saw Xia Qingrou speaking into the walkie-talkie on her arm, "Captain, how are you guys doing? The newbie and I are almost there!"
"We're all good, there's no need for you to come. The fight will be over soon."
Liu Chaoyan's voice came through the walkie-talkie.
"But we've already arrived, I can already sense your domain!"
"Since that's the case, you must protect the newbie!"
"Understood, don't worry!"
Xia Qingrou stopped the car by the roadside.
"Do you feel the wind getting stronger?" Xia Qingrou smiled.
"I feel it," Shen Mochen replied.
"That's Captain Yanyan's superpower, she can manipulate wind, or maybe call it air flow... Stay behind me!"
Xia Qingrou casually pushed the motorcycle into a nearby thicket and put on a bright flashlight as a rumbling sound of an earthquake echoed in the distance.
Shen Mochen saw the approaching figure and his expression slightly changed; it was a gigantic rhino-like creature, nearly ten meters tall, truly massive!
Its eyes were blood-red and it was covered with a crocodile-like shell, bellowing loudly into the heavens.
As far as Shen Mochen knew, although this monster looked like a living creature, it was definitely not one recognized by people. After all, aside from monsters, no other creature could withstand the strongest armor-piercing bullets.
The beast charged towards them like an avalanche, each step shaking the earth as if in an earthquake, making everyone's hearts tremble too!
It was Shen Mochen's first encounter with a monster. Despite having seen monster videos online, facing such a colossal creature made anyone fear their own insignificance.
"Don't be afraid, this is just a D-level, I can handle it..."
Xia Qingrou stood in front of Shen Mochen, comforting him in a soft voice, and made a gesture like drawing a bow and positioning an arrow.
"Hmph, little fiend, watch me take you down!"
Xia Qingrou shouted, and a golden glow surged from her hands as a giant light bow suddenly appeared.
The bow shimmered all over, exuding an ethereal feel as though it wasn't solid, but Xia Qingrou managed to draw it effortlessly, with a virtual light arrow slowly materializing.
So small... Is it effective?
Reason told Shen Mochen that since Xia Qingrou was so confident, she must have the means to defeat the enemy. However, facing a monster ten meters high and twenty meters long, a small bow and arrow seemed so powerless.
Despite having a safeguard, he still instinctively felt worried.
What do you think?
