Chapter 17 Empty House

The light spots converged, gradually forming a map of Ri City, where she was located, before her eyes!

The map suddenly glowed brightly, and then new light spots appeared, forming a very conspicuous ring shape, flickering at a certain location on the map.

As if pointing to something.

Luo Xiaole was stunned at first. Was it pointing out her location on the map?

But when she saw clearly that the ring was located at a university not too far from her, her pupils contracted, and her body trembled violently.

This was not her location, but the location of another ring!

It was the other ring that her uncle and them had taken away!

But how did this ring appear so abruptly, and could the person wearing it also see her exact location?

Luo Xiaole's hands and feet instantly felt cold.

At present, she was like a lamb waiting to be slaughtered when she encountered danger.

Even when using thumbtacks as darts, it was often by quantity, and she often missed.

Apart from providing weapons to her companions and occasionally offering ideas, she seemed to have no combat power.

If the other party knew her location, wouldn't they come directly to kill her and rob her?

The system seemed to notice that Luo Xiaole was not right, and mechanical prompts began to pop up one after another.

"Host, it is detected that the other party is only wearing the ring, so you can sense the location of the other ring.

They cannot see you for now, at least they have not successfully activated it."

Luo Xiaole felt a lot better when she heard this.

"When both parties wear the rings and activate them, if they are within a radius of 5 kilometers, they will sense each other's location. Currently, it is your one-way sensing."

Luo Xiaole's brows furrowed and then relaxed, almost as if she were suffering from schizophrenia, her expression fluctuating back and forth.

The good news was that she now knew the location of the other ring, and if she wanted to pursue the truth, she could just follow the ring's route.

The bad news was that if the other party also activated the ring one day and knew her location...

She was truly in a dilemma...

Luo Xiaole rested her chin on her hand and thought for a while. She decided to follow. The clues were hard-won, and she absolutely could not miss this opportunity.

Even if it was a little risky, she had to know the truth. She couldn't just stay here for the rest of her life!

It seemed it was time to leave their initial base in the residential complex.

"Xiaole, are you alright?" Zhu Hui next to her, seeing that she hadn't moved for a long time, thought she was stunned by what had just happened and came over to comfort her.

"Huh, what is this, a holographic display?" Everyone could see the light from the map, and it was too late for Luo Xiaole to put it away.

"Why is there a ring here, pointing to our school!" Zhu Hui excitedly pointed in the direction of the ring and looked at Luo Xiaole with bright eyes.

"Are you from Qinyang University?" Luo Xiaole asked in surprise.

Qinyang University was the only high-end institution not located in the city center. The entire campus was magnificent, and wealthy merchants and other influential figures from across the country liked to send their children there. It could be said to be a prestigious school.

She hadn't expected Zhu Hui's background to be so remarkable.

"Luoshu is too! He and I are alumni. We came here for volunteer work to get credits and ended up near this apartment, chased in by zombies."

Luo Xiaole looked at her two teammates in surprise.

Qinyang University was not only famous, but its tuition was also outrageously high. Her two teammates seemed to have remarkable backgrounds!

"By the way, Xiaole, what is this map for?" Zhu Hui curiously asked, looking at the blue light on the map.

"I have something important there, and I want to go and see," Luo Xiaole said vaguely. "What are your plans next?"

"Go back to Qinyang University?" Zhu Hui showed an unusual excitement. "Great, great, I've wanted to go there for a long time!"

Luo Xiaole looked at her suspiciously and then looked at Luo Shu.

Luo Shu shrugged, indicating that he didn't know what Zhu Hui was so excited about.

"I don't have any objections," Luo Shu nodded. "Anyway, Xiaole, you are our mobile armory now. Old Luo here is taking advantage of you by following you. I'll definitely follow you."

"Xiaole, where are Luo Shu and your families now?" Luo Xiaole asked curiously. Didn't they want to find their families?

"Alas..." Luo Shu sighed for the first time in a long while. "My family passed away many years ago and left me a large inheritance."

Less than two seconds later, he added, "I have a brother I grew up with who wanted to go to Qinyang University, so I followed him here." He then looked somewhat dejected. "Unexpectedly, the zombie outbreak happened, money is useless now, I couldn't protect what my parents left me, and I couldn't protect my brother..."

Luo Xiaole was speechless. Looking at Luo Shu's optimistic demeanor, she never expected him to have so much pain behind him.

"At least we're still alive... Let's just try our best to survive," Luo Xiaole's expression was also bitter.

"Then shall we go to Taiyang University first?" Zhu Hui tugged at Luo Xiaole's clothes and shook them, a hint of expectation in her eyes.

Luo Xiaole felt that her excitement was truly inexplicable.

"But..." Zhu Hui paused again.

"What about Wang Hao?" She didn't dare to look at Luo Xiaole, as Wang Hao had betrayed her, and she probably didn't want to team up with him anymore.

However, Wang Hao had saved Zhu Hui's life, so she felt a pang of sympathy.

"How about this, let's try to scout the situation downstairs. If we can save Wang Hao, we will.

After that, we'll go our separate ways. I don't want to work with him anymore," Luo Xiaole stated her thoughts directly.

"Xiaole, you are truly kind. Even after all this, you still want to save his life first. Alright, I have no objections. We'll part ways with him afterward!" Luo Shu agreed.

"Then it's decided. After we rescue Wang Hao, we'll go to the supermarket warehouse downstairs to find supplies! Then we'll head to Taiyang University. What do you think?" Luo Xiaole looked at the two of them.

The three looked at each other, their goals aligned, and decided to set off after resting!

...

Before leaving, Luo Xiaole had already packed her small bag. Luo Shu was packing their last remaining supplies, and Zhu Hui was helping.

Luo Xiaole suddenly remembered that after her upgrade, the system seemed to have popped up another mission.

It was just that at that time, the Qinglong Gang suddenly appeared, and the situation was urgent, so she didn't have time to look at it and had put the message in the background.

Now, when she reopened the system message, the mechanical voice reappeared in her ears.

[Please host accept the next mission to unlock the defensive skill: Unparalleled Shield (100,000)

Skill effect: Can block all non-firearm attacks, can only be used once a day, duration 30 minutes

Mission duration: 15 days]

[Mission completion reward: 20,000 mall coins, penalty for incomplete mission: stiffening time will be extended to 20 minutes]

Luo Xiaole: A defensive skill has appeared!

This made her a little excited.

...

Luo Shu and Zhu Hui quickly finished packing. The three of them each carried two small canvas backpacks.

They were preparing to head to the supermarket downstairs.

Before that, they would casually check on Wang Hao's situation downstairs.

As they passed by the adjacent apartment, she remembered the brown-haired young lady again and felt a bit wistful, wondering how she was doing now.

They had saved each other once.

She hoped they would meet again in the future.

Luo Shu took the lead, while Luo Xiaole and Zhu Hui, each holding two weapons, walked cautiously behind him.

Zhu Hui, in particular, was frightened and kept looking back, afraid that something would jump out.

After several days of intense fighting, the corridors were already covered in bloodstains and terrifying marks.

Zhu Hui couldn't help but gag.

There were no zombies on the 5th floor.

The group fumbled their way downstairs.

Upon reaching the 4th floor, Luo Shu froze, looking bewildered.

Luo Xiaole looked ahead curiously.

The doors on the 4th floor were all open for some reason.

There was no sound from inside, and it didn't look like anyone was living there.

Looking at the number of rooms with open doors, Luo Xiaole seemed to understand something. The Qinglong Gang had been living below them all along!

But the rooms were empty now...

Where had they all gone so suddenly?

Luo Xiaole was stunned.
