Chapter 641: Chapter 314: Players

For a player like Li Changhe, such a car accident could be easily avoided.

As soon as Big Iron Pestle mentioned that he had the ’Vehicle Killer’ curse, Bai and Little Drill Wind had already jumped out of the car.

Given their level of attributes and abilities, they didn’t need to worry about getting injured. Bai’s body inflated slightly, bouncing high off the ground before landing safely.

Little Drill Wind, on the other hand, hit the ground rolling a few times before standing up unharmed. It’s not easy for a Physique player to get injured.

Li Changhe and Big Iron Pestle had actually reacted even faster, but they tacitly agreed that the car could still be saved.

Now, their identities were members of a Chaos splitter team, and the car contained their information and necessary Task intel. The car couldn’t be destroyed just like that.

Fivefold Bone Gate!

Li Changhe stood on the roof of the car, his hands came together, and in an instant, he constructed hundreds of bone pieces. The bones connected to form a gradually flipping bone wall.

Like a racetrack, it extended from the mountain rocks, guiding the off-road vehicle that had broken through the guardrail back onto the road.

Big Iron Pestle, on the other hand, produced a long spear with a flicker of spatial fluctuations in his hand... The spearhead was actually a nail, with life-like thorns swaying slowly around the nail as if guarding it.

He lifted the spear and pierced the underside of the off-road vehicle, the tip stabbing into the ground, forcefully slowing down the out-of-control vehicle.

Li Changhe would call it an emergency brake.

A few seconds later, the car gradually came to a stop.

"Phew." Big Iron Pestle looked relaxed as he jumped off the roof and patted the hood, "At least it stopped. One time during a plot Task, I got on a helicopter. That was something..."

’Thud’, however, before he could finish speaking, the hood of the car he had patted started spewing black smoke.

Off-road vehicle: You think you’re hilarious, huh?

...

"Well, we’ve saved everything." The first thing the four of them did on their mission was to put out the fire. The off-road vehicle was beyond use, still burning now.

Normally, Li Changhe could hardly imagine encountering situations like the steering wheel falling off, brakes failing, and the body catching fire on the vehicle he was driving.

But with Big Iron Pestle being around, it seemed understandable.

Should he also be grateful that a meteor didn’t fall from the sky or something?

Li Changhe and Mr. Bai simultaneously took out their [Escape Coin], wondering whether they should just give up the Task this time.

"Wait, it was an accident!" Big Iron Pestle looked startled as he grabbed their hands, "Both of you, it was an accident! Generally, my curse doesn’t get triggered. This can only be considered an accident! It’s true! Also, this is the Anomalous World with so many benefits. Are you just going to give up like that? Think about all those amazing anomalies!"

"No, no, even the best things are useless if I don’t have a life to take them," Mr. Bai said, "We haven’t even been here for three minutes, and we’ve already lost our car. I’m afraid if this goes on for three hours, we’ll lose our lives too. I have a little sister back home who hasn’t gotten married. I don’t want to die like this."

"Mr. Bai is right," Li Changhe also chimed in, "Who wants to play your ’Final Destination’? I plan to go back and count stars with my girlfriend, so I’ll take my leave!"

They hadn’t even reached the Task location yet, and they were encountering such trouble already.

If Big Iron Pestle truly arrived at a particular containment site, it would probably lead to a serious containment breach.

Maybe the moment they passed by a certain containment room, the anomaly inside would break out.

Li Changhe didn’t doubt Big Iron Pestle’s strength, as he had shown terrifying reaction abilities in the Seven Kings War, but his luck was just too bad.

If they encountered an enemy and experienced a wave of Lucky E...

For instance, if Little Peanut breached containment and the lights suddenly went out, wouldn’t it just snap their necks with a flick of its wrist?

Not enough lives to spare!

"I’ve never tried the Escape Coin before. Let me test it out today!"

"No, don’t you want to see how beautiful the anomalies are?" Big Iron Pestle said.

"Not really!" Although Li Changhe was dubbed lsp by the girl, he ultimately only had eyes for the girl. He was not very interested in the others.

"...." Big Iron Pestle fell silent and looked dejectedly, "Then I have no choice but to play my trump card... Actually, my luck is very bad."

"... Isn’t that an obvious fact?" Li Changhe stared blankly, sizing up Big Iron Pestle suspiciously, wondering if he lacked self-awareness. Luck... Do you even have it?

"I mean, my luck is so bad that... Even my teammates’ success rate of using the Escape Coin will be lowered." Big Iron Pestle said, looking empty.

Little Drill Wind nodded in agreement, sighing, "It’s true. Once during a Task, five players used the Escape Coin but none of them successfully escaped. We ended up having to go back and defeat the Instance boss, which is why no one in our organization likes working with him on Tasks."

Li Changhe and Mr. Bai’s expressions changed slightly.

"You should’ve said that sooner! You’re setting us up!" Li Changhe was astonished by the bizarre Effect.

Big Iron Pestle spread his hands, "So I asked you, Champion Level, to join us."

...

Li Changhe and Mr. Bai eventually decided not to use the coin. On the one hand, they really wanted to gain some benefits in this world. They were just bluffing about leaving the Task earlier. On the other hand, they didn’t want to gamble on whether their success rate could overcome Big Iron Pestle’s Lucky E.

It’s a pity that the box wasn’t there; otherwise, it might’ve balanced things out.

Continuing along the highway, the four of them followed instructions from their earpieces to standby near an abandoned city at a certain location.

Now without a vehicle, they hoped they could make it on time.

Just now, the four of them had salvaged some supplies from the car.

Communication earpieces, now without any instructions. They may have exceeded the signal range.

Automatic rifles, grenades, flashbangs, and the like were normal, considering their identities as Chaos splitter Combat Team members. There were also some documents among the supplies.

The documents contained information on several anomalies’ abilities.

Not comprehensive, it seemed that this world’s understanding of anomalies was not yet well developed.

At least, it wasn’t comprehensive on the Chaos splitter side.

"Judging by the plans in the documents, we are to standby in an abandoned city near a certain site and assist someone." Big Iron Pestle said, "That should be the Task location."

"Yeah, but now we don’t even have a car," Li Changhe glanced at him, "By the time we get there, it’ll probably be over."

"It’s not that bad, it’s not that bad," Big Iron Pestle’s face fell, looking utterly incompetent.

Li Changhe didn’t really care; he had brought a bicycle. He could go anywhere an off-road vehicle could go and even places it couldn’t. He didn’t need to worry about not making it on time.

"However, I suggest that everyone try not to display player abilities as much as possible, or else it’ll attract unnecessary trouble," Li Changhe said.

"You mean..."

"If players have appeared before, the Abnormal Containment Association would undoubtedly have noticed, maybe even grasp a lot of information and intelligence. After all, the anomalies in this world are extremely unique, like Anomaly-738 and Demon Plot Exchange, for example," Li Changhe explained, "In their eyes, we are just a kind of anomaly that could enter this world at any time. Or rather... We are a kind of yet-to-be-contained anomaly."
