Absolute Zone Zero: I survive in Liufen Street

Chapter 186 The Last Bus 2

Where is Bai Zhi, who is missed by others?

He actually didn't go anywhere. He was just in the [Dead End Hollow] checking the layout of [Vision]'s installation of ether explosives.

After getting rid of the Dead End Butcher, Bai Zhi didn't want to go back to [Canvas Lane] because he knew too well the outgoing nature of Nicole, the social butterfly.

He didn't want his friends to have too much connection with Bai Zhi's identity, so the best choice was to avoid him.

Otherwise, with Nicole's "leave a trace of people behind, pluck feathers from passing geese" personality, she would not miss the opportunity to get close to him, especially with the ready-made relationship with Fu Fu.

Bai Zhi was even more afraid to go back. Fortunately, Fu Fu had already woken up. Fu Fu's growth had become increasingly evident over the past two years, her innate ability to perceive and manipulate people's emotions growing stronger day by day. She was no longer the same naive system that Bai Yu had used to trick her into revealing her true self.

With her cleverness, she could definitely fool Nicole and the others easily.

Although they were on the same stage and their acquaintance was inevitable, Bai Zhi still hoped that their relationship would not be too close. Otherwise, under the watchful eyes of his friends, Bai Zhi was afraid that he would be too embarrassed to continue performing the "tragic performances" he left for the players in his script.

Even if he continued to act, if people believed it, Bai Zhi would feel even more guilty and ashamed for making his friends sad for no reason.

The knife was meant for the players; he didn't want to hurt his friends. Bai Zhi feared tears the most. Even the sadness of a stranger would leave him, with his high empathy, at a loss, let alone the tears shed by those close to him over his false story.

But as long as their relationship with Bai Zhi is normal, then in this world where countless tragedies are played out every day, everyone may only sigh when facing Bai Zhi's story and ending. This is the result Bai Zhi wants.

As for whether or not the players would kill him... Bai Zhi could only apologize in advance. But with the players' broad knowledge and generous hearts, they would at most cry a few times over Bai Zhi's story before happily throwing themselves into the arms of their new wives, so it wasn't a big deal.

After all, the setting of "Jue" is "Apocalypse", and who among the characters doesn't have a tragic past? Bai Zhi's story is simply mediocre in the context, and it doesn't seem too natural and harmonious.

After all, if you want to make money (emotional energy), you can’t be too conscientious.

After all, he has been in the underworld for so long, Bai Zhi can now say with confidence: his heart is now as cold as the knife that killed fish in RT-Mart for ten years.

"--Beep, alarm--"

——Spatial fluctuations detected above the host——

——Host, please be alert and be prepared to evade to avoid being hit by objects thrown from high altitude——"

"Huh? Throwing objects from high altitude?" Bai Zhi subconsciously looked up when he heard this, and happened to see a scene of spatial disorder appearing above his head.

A pair of large gardening shears, as tall as a person and with a special shape, fell vertically towards Bai Zhi.

Bai Zhi took a step back, and the knife swished past the tip of Bai Zhi's shoe and pierced deep into the cement floor.

"..., there really is someone throwing objects from a high altitude into the hole." Bai Zhi's eyes twitched involuntarily.

"——Alarm——"

"...I know, I know. Speaking of which, Xianling, could you please not imitate your original version and change your voice and tone of voice?" Bai Zhi took advantage of the fact that there was no one here and rolled his eyes without fear of ruining his image.

A black figure fell out of the crack above Bai Zhi and landed right into Bai Zhi's open arms.

"It turns out that not only does it rain in the cave, but it also rains 'fish'." Bai Zhi shook his head, which was a little dizzy after being slapped by a huge fish tail, and complained calmly.

In other words, Bai Zhi was wearing a protective mask on his face, and his physical data was strong enough, otherwise an ordinary person would probably faint after being hit by this tail.

"...puns will be fined." The 'big fish' girl, face down, her shoulders and thighs supported by someone's arms, her entire body held in an odd position, replied in a weak but calm voice. "Excuse me, can you turn me over? This position doesn't bother you, but it does for me."

“Little girl, you should try to turn over on your own.

Just because sharks are deep-sea fish doesn't mean they're salty. Bai Zhi said this in a very cold tone, making an even colder joke. But with a powerful force, he tossed the girl high into the air and flipped her over. He then let her land back in his arms in a more normal princess-carrying position.

"Uncle, your jokes are terrible." 'Big Fish' Ailian rolled his eyes and complained about Bai Zhi's jokes without hesitation.

"Maid? Yi Hai also calls for housekeeping service?" Bai Zhi glanced at the girl in his arms whose eyes were battling sleep but who was still trying hard not to fall asleep, and deliberately teased her to talk more.

Bai Zhi certainly knew who the maid in his arms was.

Shark tail, maid outfit and big scissors, Ailian is his first S-level limited agent. Even if Bai Zhi no longer recognizes her, he will never forget her.

Besides, Ailian's outfit itself is memorable enough.

Even though he knew that in today's reality, he and Ailian were just strangers, Bai Zhi's gaze subconsciously softened a little.

He supported Ailian's knee with his arm, and with his free hand, he pulled out Ailian's weapon, the shark scissors, which was stuck in the ground. After a quick look at the direction, he walked towards the nearest cave exit.

"Yeah, it's because we're not doing well, so we're doing door-to-door sales, letting customers experience our free housekeeping and cleaning service." Ailian acted as if she didn't bother explaining, just following Bai Zhi's lead. She pulled a lollipop from a hidden pocket in her skirt and stuffed it into her mouth, her mind struggling between "getting some sleep" and "not being able to sleep."

Ellen and her companions had just encountered the giant creature in the cave, and the battle had consumed a lot of their energy. The Shark-Hin's unique high burst and short endurance had left her with a drowsy eyelid that felt like it was glued shut.

Even if she accidentally fell into the arms of a stranger, she didn't have the energy to struggle until she realized the malicious intent.

Besides, the man holding her didn't give people a disgusting feeling.

The man had a calm aura, devoid of the typical male body odor and cigarette smoke, only the faint scent of ice and snow. His hands, tidily supporting her back and knees, with his tall stature, broad chest, and steady gait, resembled her eldest son, Lekaan.

This somewhat familiar feeling made Ailian, who was leaning on Bai Zhi's chest, gradually relax. She couldn't help but yawning loudly, and her eyelids, which were becoming increasingly heavy, finally couldn't hold on and closed.

“Hu~Hu…”

"Hmm? Little girl, wake up, don't fall asleep." Bai Zhi shook Ailian in his arms, trying to wake her up, but it seemed to remind her instead. Ailian didn't open her eyes, but instead swung her tail up and hugged him, then found a more comfortable position in his arms and fell into a deeper sleep.

"...Are you so careless?" Bai Zhi looked at the person in his arms speechlessly, sighed resignedly, and began to look for the nearest exit while holding the person.

Small Theater

Bai Zhi: In the hollow there will be light rain, moderate rain, and even "big fish"

Ellen: ...Well, you are right.

Fu Fu: Why don’t you make some complaints?

Ailian: Lazy.
