Chapter 1434: Chapter 56: One Carry, Many Feeders

The shock wave swept across Lubei City, causing large sections of buildings to collapse, and the streets were deserted.

With a loud bang, a three-story building collapsed, and a Contractor rushed out through the doors and windows, covering her ear with one hand.

"The alley battle that Black Bee prepared for so long really is unreliable."

A Spider Woman dusted off herself. The reason she was referred to as a Spider Woman was because her lower body was almost identical to a spider, with a vibrant-colored spider abdomen and six sharp armored limbs.

The Spider Woman wore heavy purple eyeshadow, making her look alluring and dangerous. She surveyed her surroundings; there were no intact buildings to be seen on the nearby streets.

"Where should I go? I have no desire to reunite with those pig teammates. The coastal city is suffering this kind of impact, tidal waves are curling back, and a tsunami is inevitable sooner or later. With this happening... there seems to be no advantage left."

The Spider Woman belonged to the Apocalypse Paradise side, yet her way of operating was completely different from most Apocalypse Paradise Contractors. One might even believe she was a Reincarnation Paradise Contractor.

While considering whether to join the larger forces or single-handedly attack lone Reincarnation Paradise Contractors, she heard the sound of heavy footsteps from afar.

A ’Minotaur’ over three meters tall first met the Spider Woman’s gaze. Based on her experience, she judged that this Minotaur was more than likely a Servant or summon.

The Spider Woman focused her eyes, noticing a man full of Blood Energy near the Minotaur, a Siberian Husky looking around, and a 12.3-year-old... kid?

This combination clearly puzzled the Spider Woman. It was not the strange configuration of the group, but rather the apparent conflict within it.

This one-man, one-dog, one-bull, and one-little-girl group was precisely Su Xiao, Bubu Wang, A Mu, and Gulu. As for why Gulu was traveling into the depths of Lubei City alongside Su Xiao, it was quite interesting.

Su Xiao’s goal was the vibrating device at the city’s center. As far as he knew, this was a weapon arranged by the Arakawa Adventure Group, a large adventure team. Clearly, their aim was not to completely annihilate the Apocalypse Paradise side, but rather to find Black Bee, and seize the World Core from him, which was most crucial.

Gulu’s goal was the same, so their destinations aligned, and neither wanted to take a detour, so they entered Lubei City together.

It’s inevitable to dislike each other, but now that they are in the War World, without a clear winner between life and death, treating each other as air seems wiser.

A long dagger twirled in Gulu’s hand. It was lightweight, seemingly weightless, with a lollipop pierced on the blade tip which Gulu often put into her mouth.

As Su Xiao progressed, he glanced at the Spider Woman, intending not to waste time there and thus directly proceeded towards the city center.

Su Xiao did not pay attention to the Spider Woman, and Bubu Wang and A Mu would certainly not take the initiative to provoke her. Gulu, with candy in her mouth, glimpsed at the Spider Woman, felt her strength was barely notable, and no longer cared.

Ka-ba, Ka-ba...

Stones were crushed as Su Xiao and others walked past the street near the Spider Woman.

"Ignored?"

Watching the passersby—a person, a dog, a bull, and a child—the Spider Woman suddenly felt ignored, especially considering the little kid’s gaze bore an unmistakable "trash" sentiment.

The Spider Woman hesitated, uncertain of the opponent’s strength, facing four was very risky.

Just as she was about to give up, she noticed a detail: that man full of Blood Energy constantly kept a hand on his knife hilt, while the little kid also held a dagger, seemingly eating candy, but actually wary of the man.

After some observation, the Spider Woman concluded that the man and the little kid were definitely not teammates; rather, they were cautious of each other.

Realizing this, the Spider Woman smirked. Killing enemy Contractors might yield a Crimson box, a great reward, and she happened to feel bored at that moment.

"Hey, that little kid over there."

With this shout, Gulu halted, Bubu Wang’s steps paused, and Su Xiao also stopped.

Gulu turned around, her gaze fixed on the Spider Woman, pointing to herself.

"Little, kid?"

Gulu spoke slowly, word by word.

Bubu Wang turned his head to glance at the Spider Woman, sighed longingly as if to say: "Isn’t living well enough, why provoke that young lady?"

"Hope you die here, little kid."

Su Xiao waved his hand without turning back, knowing very well that Gulu wouldn’t perish here, but along this journey, he realized how sharp-tongued Gulu was, suspecting seriously that Gulu followed him deliberately just to verbally attack him.

Ka—

Gulu’s small hand tightened around the dagger, veins bulging out of anger. She was very angry, very angry indeed, as pale red Blood Mist dissipated around her.

...

Lubei City central area.

Boom!

A booming sound resounded as a figure broke through the ruins, flying into the remaining building debris.

Space-time power surged, and in an instant, blood splattered.

Tick, tick...

Blood dripped onto the concrete slab, and a metal arm held a head, which got tossed aside. The owner of the metal arm wiped the bloodstain from his face—he was Black Bee, the top figure of the Apocalypse Paradise side.

Black Bee looked somewhat distressed at this moment, having fought with someone from the Reincarnation Paradise side earlier. The counterpart dressed like a People’s Teacher, and to Black Bee’s surprise, didn’t react to his bee poison, beating him nearly half to death with just two fists. Of course, he didn’t fight to the death; it wasn’t the right time yet.

Black Bee shook off the blood from his hands, having encountered a Reincarnation Paradise Contractor and ended the battle in half a minute. Sometimes the gap in strength cannot be compensated just by not fearing death.

Black Bee felt exhausted, sensing an all-team pit scenario. During the early stage of the World Struggle War, this wasn’t obvious, but as the chaotic stage arrived, this feeling grew stronger.

"Way too late compared to the scheduled time, Holy Sanctuary Paradise’s fence-sitters, but it’s fine, the plan is going smoothly."

The previously laid plans were entirely disrupted; alley battles were nearly impossible. Black Bee contacted all Apocalypse Paradise Contractors via war communication, having his own plan too.

Black Bee operated as a Lone Ranger, but due to his strength, most Apocalypse Paradise Contractors elected him as their ’Leader,’ whether they’d obey him or not depended on the circumstances.

Since the start of the War World to now, Black Bee was attempting to confirm one thing—the task penalty for the Reincarnation Paradise side.

In the last World Struggle War, when the final few Reincarnation Paradise Contractors died in battle, the defending Apocalypse Paradise won. The World Coordinates hadn’t yet formed, but they won, though barely, as of the thousand Contractors, only dozens survived by the end. That geographical setting forced Apocalypse Paradise people to confront without evasion.

This puzzled Black Bee; why were Reincarnation Paradise Contractors so crazy? Just to avoid task penalties, they fought to such extents, compelling Black Bee to think that even if Reincarnation Paradise individuals didn’t die on the battlefield, they’d perish under task penalties.

For this reason, Black Bee wanted to swiftly confirm the Reincarnation Paradise Contractor’s task penalty this World Struggle War.
