The King of Black Fog

"A terrorist attack? What does that mean?" Bi was utterly confused.

"Could Wang Donghua be planning a showdown with the zombie worms?" Li Qianxia also asked.

In nature, there are very few creatures that can manipulate life, but there is more than just one or two types. Uncertain of the specifics, they generally referred to them as 'worms.' 'Zombie worms' was Li Qianxia's personal interpretation.

Li Changzhou didn't think so, countering, "Do you think worms care about human life?"

Before Li Qianxia had time to ponder that statement, Yang Qinglan said, "According to the game rules, the outside world can't interfere with Prague, and players can't leave. By clearing civilians with worms, do they intend to use the army for a carpet bombing of the whole Prague?"

"That's possible." Li Changzhou nodded.

"Carpet bombing..." Li Qianxia was both terrified and excited.

She suddenly thought of something, "No, that's not right. Prague is so big, even if they could bomb every area, they wouldn't be able to kill us."

"They don't need to kill us," Li Changzhou said, looking out the window where many citizens were already moving things into their cars, "the condition to end the event is for the number of players to drop below 500."

Bi didn't care, continuing to search for food in the kitchen. After all, they couldn't kill her.

Which explains why that true bitch (Xiao Yue) ranked her third.

The worms couldn't kill her or easily control her, but the chance of taking first place is higher than hers—most current players, let alone being hit directly by modern weapons, could be crushed to death by collapsing buildings.

She could also destroy Prague in one breath, but that would require her to bite through over seventy lollipops, and frankly... she couldn't do it, her teeth would definitely hurt halfway through.

As a blonde-haired and blue-eyed beauty (self-proclaimed)—actually, still a loli—it was essential to take good care of her teeth, which was one of the most important reasons she considered long-term cooperation with Li Changzhou and the others.

Dentures?

Dentures were absolutely out of the question; no matter how realistic and good they were, they could only be compared to a wig.

The issue wasn't just about a young girl (self-proclaimed) using dentures; it also affected her life.

According to Yang Qinglan, that bitch... that female swindler told her that a person who switches to dentures from a young age would become very conscious of other people's gazes, developing an extreme personality as a result.

She even gave an example, saying, "If a person has no sense of smell, they will feel inferior in social interactions because they don't know whether their body smells or if their mouth is fresh."

Every frown or scrutinizing glance from others would make them shrink back.

"If you switch to dentures, you won't shrink back, but you will similarly be mindful of others' gazes, get angry, and use your strength to quell your rage, resulting in more enemies. Do you want such a life?" That was the swindler's exact words.

Bi had sworn never to trust a single word from those two swindlers easily, but on further thought, there was some truth to it, especially when occasionally experiencing a toothache.

Regardless of the minor issues of a minor girl, Li Changzhou and the others drew the curtains and discussed their next plan in the living room.

"What if someone doesn't believe it or can't make it in time and doesn't leave Prague before tonight?" Li Qianxia asked.

"The worms' plan won't change," Li Changzhou sat in a single sofa, a pensive look on his face while answering, but his mind was elsewhere.

He said, "Its purpose in evacuating the civilians was never to protect them but to filter, to leave the players in this 'gauze' called Prague."

"Doesn't that mean many people will die?" Li Qianxia frowned, her high ponytail losing its vitality.

Yang Qinglan couldn't help but sigh, "Jesus once said, 'It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of heaven.'"

"Balzac also said 'Behind every great fortune lies a great crime,'" Li Changzhou nodded in agreement.

"You not only know Balzac but also one of his famous quotes?" Yang Qinglan was surprised and pleased, as if she had come home from work to find her usually lazy husband had suddenly cleaned the house spotlessly and cooked a table full of dishes.

"...What exactly have I become in your eyes, me, a university student?"

Li Qianxia, sitting on the armrest of the sofa, couldn't stand it any longer and defended her brother:

"My brother doesn't study, but he remembers what he hears. That quote from Balzac was from something the teacher said in class... whether it was criminal law or economic law, I can't remember."

Yafeiluna, lying on the sofa, looked at the three of them strangely.

With the situation being so critical, shouldn't they be discussing how to deal with it? How did the topic suddenly shift to Jesus and Balzac?

As if sensing her confusion, Li Changzhou said to her, "We already have a plan."

Yang Qinglan also nodded lightly, "Tonight is time for us to act."

"Brother, are you nervous?" Li Qianxia asked teasingly.

Yafeiluna noticed her excited expression, seeming confident in the plan and looking forward to its execution.

"The ones who should be nervous are them," Li Changzhou said with a smile.

"Wow, Qing Lan, what do you think of my brother's statement just now? From a level of arrogance!"

"4 points."

"That low? I think at least 8 points."

"Read more books in the future, don't get fooled by people like your brother."

"People want to be deceived by him~" Li Qianxia wrapped her arms around Li Changzhou's neck, her voice sugary sweet.

As soon as he heard that voice, Li Changzhou knew his wallet was about to suffer a huge dent.

The Czar Princess, who had happily emerged from the kitchen with a plate, nibbling on a sausage, immediately scrunched up her delicate little face at the sight of the two of them, her expression as indescribable as someone who had just eaten a rotten egg.

"Are we going to wait here until evening?" Yafeiluna confirmed.

"How's your wound?" Li Changzhou asked her.

Yafeiluna touched her abdomen where only the torn clothes and bloodstains still bore witness to the accident.

"No problem," she said.

"And you?" Li Changzhou turned his head to Bi, "Are you finished eating?"

Bi raised the fork in her right hand, half a sausage still on it, and her left hand still held more than half a glass of milk.

"Before she finishes eating, go change your clothes," Li Changzhou instructed Yafeiluna, nodding towards the bloodstain on her abdomen, "and also prepare a few boxes, pretend we are going to leave the city."

"Yes."

By the time Yafeiluna had changed into clean clothes and come downstairs with the boxes, Bi had just finished wiping the sausage grease and milk stains from around her mouth with a napkin.

"Let's go," Li Changzhou stood up, "Before all the ordinary people leave Prague, go to the zoo to find the squirrels and polar bears and reclaim their points."

"It would be even better if we encounter other players," Li Qianxia didn't transform into an owl, making it easier to fight at any moment.

In the forest of the zoo, Li Changzhou's photos remained, but they didn't use "Photo Transmission"; with the final battle approaching, Li Changzhou had to ensure he remained clear-headed.

For this family outing, the car and keys were left at home.

Li Changzhou took responsibility for driving.

Yang Qinglan and Li Qianxia both headed towards the front passenger seat and glanced at each other.

"I'm safer sitting here," Yang Qinglan said calmly.

"This isn't about safety," Li Qianxia's face was stern.

Yang Qinglan had no interest in playing this game of fighting over the front passenger seat with her.

"Say something, who's going to sit in the front passenger seat?" she asked Li Changzhou, who was about to hide inside the car as he opened the driver's door.

"Uh—" Li Changzhou scratched the corner of his left eye with his right hand, "Qian Xia drives, you sit in the front seat and I'll go to the back?"

"Be sensible."

"...Qian Xia, go to the back."

"Hairy crabs, eight of them, four females, four males," Li Qianxia's expression became even more serious.

So that's it, October, time to eat hairy crabs.

Everyone got into the car, and although there were three people in the back seat, each one skinnier than the next, there was enough space left over for one more Li Changzhou.

At every intersection, there were people fleeing.

Some government officials and soldiers were blocked by civilians; the soldiers simply opened fire, and the group closest to them fell to the ground, screams and wails coming from every street.

A mother holding her son turned around only to be killed herself.

A father running away with his daughter was caught up by bullets from behind, and the daughter ended up crying desperately under her father's dead body.

The group drove in silence towards the zoo.

"Did Jesus ever say that eating hairy crabs could get you into heaven?" Li Changzhou suddenly asked.

"Do you have a driver's license?" Yang Qinglan countered.

"Learning to drive in the homeland costs 3600, in school it's 4200."

"Did you learn in your homeland?"

"No, what I mean is: let's see if the traffic police will check us."

"So, will the traffic police check?" Yang Qinglan asked again.

"Of course," Li Changzhou pulled over, took out a "Heavy Machine Gun", and released his rage on the government officials and soldiers slaughtering the civilians.

Blood and flesh splattered, shreds of fabric flew, and in the blink of an eye, they were reduced to a muddy mess.

"Hahahaha!" Li Changzhou laughed heartily as he tossed the "Heavy Machine Gun" to Li Qianxia, then stepped on the gas, "Qian Xia, kill any official you see! Let's see who dares to stop me!"

"I won't kill people," Li Qianxia aimed the machine gun, "unless there are sixteen hairy crabs!"
