Card Room Book 2

CR: Chapter 205

The crowd made their way to the entrance of the supermarket.

The supermarket entrance was empty. The local people in this city were affected by the attack of the infected people and traffic was paralyzed. Naturally, no one dared to go out to the supermarket at this time. The challenger teams might've been divided into other urban areas so there were only the three teams in the supermarket right now.

The bearded uncle took the initiative to speak. "The epidemic in the city center is spreading very quickly. It isn't safe to stay here. Once all the humans in the vicinity are infected, we are likely to be surrounded by thousands of bugs!"

The female captain of the Luoying Pavilion team nodded. "Today, there are only 50 infected people in the supermarket and they can be eliminated by fire. If the city centre is full of infected people, we might be able to burn some but we won't be able to run away."

The bearded uncle asked, "What are your plans next?"

The female captain replied, "We plan to go to the suburbs. The number of infected people there should be less. As long as there are enough supplies, it will be easier to survive in a remote place.

The bearded uncle agreed. "We also want to hide in the suburbs. Do you want to act together?"

The female captain spoke decisively. "No, we have to go back to the supermarket to get supplies. Goodbye."

The girls from Luoying Pavilion heard their captain's instructions and turned to return to the supermarket. The bearded uncle watched their backs and touched his nose in a slightly embarrassed manner. Then he turned to look at Xiao Lou and proactively said, "Hello, we are a team from the Eternal Kingdom. I don't know if you want to cooperate to clear the instance?"

The Eternal Kingdom?

Xiao Lou and Yu Hanjiang glanced at each other in a puzzled manner.

They remembered Old Mo previously saying that there were three large challenger organizations in this world. One was the Distant Association managed by Gui Yuanzhang. The challengers who joined this association all aimed to return to reality.

The second was the pure female organization 'Luoying Pavilion.' The boss of this organization was Chu Huaying.

The third largest guild was the Eternal Kingdom. It was said that challengers of this guild didn't have the urge to return to reality. They were more willing to stay in the Card World where they could buy cars and villas and could even marry and have children. They only did the World Weekly tasks and weren't very interested in challenging the secret rooms on the card wall.

Why did they come to a secret room with an A-grade difficulty like 8 of Spades? It wasn't easy to ask this question directly. At present, Xiao Lou didn't know anything about the Eternal Kingdom guild. There was no relevant information from Brother Jiu so it was better not to rush to contact them.

Xiao Lou smiled politely at the friendly bearded uncle and replied, "Thank you for your kindness but we don't know each other after all. If one of us is infected then it is likely to affect the other team. Rather than suspecting each other, I think it is more convenient to act on our own."

The bearded uncle thought carefully and nodded with understanding. "Okay, since we're not familiar with each other, let's go our own way. We will be leaving first. Take care."

Xiao Lou nodded. "Take care."

Once they left, Xiao Lou suggested, "Why don't we go back to the supermarket to get some insecticides and lighters before going to Old Mo's place?"

Yu Hanjiang agreed. "Yes, it will be easier to deal with infected people if we take some more."

They might have Bai Juyi's Old Charcoal Seller skill but the cooldown time was up to 24 hours. It could only be used once a day but the infected people wouldn't only be used once a day. The charcoal fire also wasn't easy to take away. For example, today the charcoal fire was left in the supermarket. If they met an infected person outside later, it wouldn't be easy to deal with them.
