041. Farewell, Cage!

"Huff... huff..."

Qiu Ran lay in the backseat, sleeping peacefully. The howling wind and snow of the outer world were not much noise for the modified car of the Abyss Humanitarian Relief Organization, which had excellent soundproofing.

She curled up, wrapped in a coat, with a small, sparkling drool trail hanging from her mouth, occasionally giggling:

"Potatoes, potatoes are cooked... hehe... Master, no need to work..."

Clang!

Suddenly, a loud noise startled Qiu Ran awake. She quickly raised her head to see Nuo Mi, the infected one, pounding on the glass and shouting at her:

"Open the door!"

"Don't hit it, don't hit it! I just got this new car..."

Qiu Ran pitifully leaned over the front seat and unlocked the car door.

"Damn, it's freezing out there! I've been yelling at you for ages, why didn't you respond?"

Nuo Mi quickly climbed in, shaking off the snow and mud. She expertly engaged the clutch and gear, muttering:

"Uh, I... I was asleep." Qiu Ran scratched her head, giggling sheepishly.

"Seriously? In the outer world, where you never know when a tornado, sandstorm, blizzard, avalanche, landslide, or earthquake might hit—you can sleep through that?"

Nuo Mi said, popping the car door open and shouting outside:

"Hey, you done yet?"

Just then, Li Aozzi opened the door and climbed in, his gravity shield protecting him from the wind and snow.

"The hook's on, drive."

Li Aozzi spoke quickly, opening the medical kit to treat his shoulder, stopping the bleeding, and bandaging it:

"Law IV's cars are faster on flat ground, we can't outrun them."

"So what do we do?"

"They don't know we switched cars. Drive a bit, then unhook the back car. They'll stop to check it."

"But even then, they'll still catch up!"

"They have four cars from the climb. If they split one off, three will remain... I can handle them."

Li Aozzi rummaged through the car, finding chains and gasoline in the backseat.

"—If they dare come, they're seeking their own death."

Li Aozzi held the chain, weighing it in his hand, satisfied.

He had been considering transitioning to the blood magic path during the [Mutant] phase due to his mutation direction. Seeing the chain, he decided not to hesitate.

He would follow the blood magic path!

"When I advance to [Echoer], chains and whips are the best weapons for me, complementing the low-threshold blood magic path to boost my combat power."

The problem with [Starfall Master] was the high threshold and long training period. In his past life, Li Aozzi and his fellow enthusiasts always thought about how to change that.

The threshold of four prerequisite Omega-level abilities was solvable, with stable methods available later.

But how to change the prison-like experience? Li Aozzi had superior skills and awareness, but ordinary players lacked that capacity.
