Chapter 46: Inquiring About the Camp Coordinates
At this moment, the battle inside the Molemen's mine was coming to an end.
Cao Xing and Liu Muxue stood behind Assam, casually launching attacks one after another.
Three forty-centimeter-long ice spikes condensed and shot out rapidly.
Puff! Puff! Puff!
[-84]
[-87]
[-85]
One of the level 10 Molemen was focused by Cao Xing and died on the spot.
[Successfully killed Moleman Lv.10, gained 100 Experience Points.]
Cao Xing nodded in satisfaction.
"Not bad."
After equipping the Demon Spider Staff, his attack power had clearly improved.
Compared to Cao Xing…
Sarah's side was even more terrifying.
After realizing that the attacks of these Molemen couldn't cause any effective damage to her,
Sarah abandoned her stealth and began a direct massacre.
The Shadow Blade danced continuously, like a grim reaper harvesting lives on the battlefield.
[-792]
[-847]
[-1657!]
Exaggerated damage numbers floated up one after another.
These Molemen fell like sliced melons and vegetables, dying in a single strike each.
Cao Xing and Liu Muxue watched Sarah's performance almost the entire time.
Just then, a video call request suddenly rang from Liu Muxue's side.
Looking at it, it was from her father.
Liu Muxue looked at Cao Xing and asked softly, "Axing, my dad is calling again. He left a message saying it's urgent. Should I pick up?"
Her trust in Cao Xing now completely surpassed that of her family.
Cao Xing pondered for a moment, finding it a bit strange that Liu Muxue's father would call at this time.
Could it be that he saw Liu Muxue on the leaderboard and wanted to get some benefits again?
After thinking for a moment, Cao Xing said, "Answer it. Let's see what he wants."
"However, talk to him as if I'm not by your side."
Liu Muxue nodded.
Then, she connected the call.
At this moment, Liu Zhenjie looked at the video screen and said excitedly, "Xiaoxue, you've finally answered!"
"You child, we sent you so many messages and you didn't reply to any of them. What are you trying to do?"
Hearing his last sentence, Liu Muxue's face instantly turned cold. "Is there something you want from me?"
Her experiences over the past two days had gradually made her stronger, and she was no longer the Liu Muxue who was controlled by her family.
Hearing Liu Muxue's tone, Liu Zhenjie also seemed to realize something was off.
The anger that had just appeared on his face quickly vanished, replaced by a forced smile. "Ah, it's nothing major."
"I just wanted to ask how you're doing over there. I saw you made it onto the leaderboard. That's amazing!"
"Your mother and your brother are all so proud of you!"
Liu Muxue heard this, and a trace of coldness welled up in her heart.
She knew how hypocritical Liu Zhenjie's words were.
Saying they were proud of her… back when she was popular online, she had never once felt her family being proud of her.
They had merely treated her as a tool to amass wealth.
She said coldly, "Just say what you want. If you want food, I don't have any here."
Hearing this, the smile on Liu Zhenjie's face froze, seemingly surprised by her firm attitude.
But he still said with a smile,
"Xiaoxue, Dad doesn't want food."
"I just wanted to ask where your camp is located."
"Over the past two days, your mother and I have reflected a lot. We know we were indeed too harsh on you in the past, and we feel extremely guilty."
"I want to bring your two brothers over to visit you after the novice protection period ends."
Liu Zhenjie spoke with deep emotion, appearing genuinely remorseful.
However, Liu Muxue was a smart woman.
Hearing this, not only did she not feel happy about her family's repentance, but she also keenly sensed that something was wrong.
She muted the audio and turned off the video, then turned around to ask,
"Axing… my dad suddenly asked for my coordinates. I feel like something is off with him."
"With their temperament, it's impossible for them to suddenly feel guilty toward me."
Hearing this, Cao Xing was stunned for a moment and asked in confusion, "He wants our coordinates?"
Liu Muxue nodded.
Cao Xing fell into deep thought, also sensing that something was amiss.
After all, at this stage, it was difficult for Survivors to even step ten kilometers outside their camps, so they wouldn't think about looking for other Survivors' bases.
Moreover, given the life-cherishing nature of Liu Muxue's father and mother, they would never take such a risk.
There was definitely something fishy going on.
This meant someone else had asked Liu Zhenjie to inquire.
"Interesting. To actually think of using Muxue's family to fish for my camp's coordinates… those guys have some ideas."
As for who was behind it, Cao Xing knew very well.
It was none other than those few people on the leaderboard who wanted to compete with him for the top spot.
Obviously, Fang Long was the prime suspect.
After all, he had offended him before.
An interested smile appeared on the corner of Cao Xing's mouth as he said, "Muxue, give him these coordinates: 71231, 5213, 23719."
Liu Muxue was somewhat puzzled, because these coordinates were not where their camp was located at all; they were several hundred kilometers away.
What she didn't know was that these coordinates pointed to a large gathering place for Marauders.
There was a group of crazy Marauders there, and they were planning a terrifying city-massacre operation.
If they didn't go, that would be fine, but if they did, those guys would have a bitter pill to swallow.
They would probably end up like Tong Chuchu's father, sacrificed as offerings.
Cao Xing then added, "By the way, remind your dad that at this stage, he has absolutely no way to cross hundreds of kilometers of snowy terrain. It's best if he doesn't come looking for us."
This was also Cao Xing's final warning to him.
Liu Muxue nodded slightly. "I understand, Axing."
Liu Muxue turned the video back on.
Then, she gave the coordinates to Liu Zhenjie.
Upon seeing the coordinates, Liu Zhenjie didn't doubt them at all and appeared extremely delighted.
He said excitedly, "Good, good, good! Xiaoxue, you really are our good daughter."
"We will bring some people over to find you in a while."
After saying that, he hung up the call immediately.
Liu Muxue glanced at Cao Xing.
Cao Xing nodded.
After this little interlude, the battle ahead had also concluded.
Cao Xing glanced at his experience points.
Level 5, 90%
He was just a tiny bit away from reaching Level 6!
On the field, patches of Molemen corpses lay scattered on the ground.
Only four powerful Tier 2 creatures, plus a drill robot, remained standing.
Cao Xing said, "Start clearing the battlefield!"
Liu Muxue also smiled, joining Cao Xing in gathering the loot.
[Obtained Dry Rations *7]
[Obtained Viscous Liquid *1]
[Obtained Iron Ingot *1]
[Obtained Moleman Standard Shortsword (White) *1]
[Obtained Moleman Standard Spear (White) *1]
…
System prompts popped up continuously.
It took about ten minutes.
They finished clearing this battlefield.
In total, they obtained:
[Dry Rations *372]
[Viscous Liquid *79]
[Book of Chaos (Weak) *5]
[Iron Ingot *43]
Followed by over forty various common-tier white weapons.
In addition, Cao Xing also saw three robots standing quietly nearby, emitting black smoke.
[Moleman Tech: Bucket Robot (Damaged)]
[Moleman Tech: Crawler Robot (Damaged)]
[Moleman Tech: Drill Robot (Damaged)]
