Chapter 66: Don’t Be a Coward
“Meow meow~ (That’s not necessarily true. )” Li Li extended his claws and fiercely scratched the wall.
A large hole appeared on the wall he scratched, allowing a view from the outside in. Inside, one could see canned food and some firearms and ammunition piled up.
“Gulp gulp~ (Brother Cat, you’re amazing! You actually found this. )” Matthew said in admiration.
“Meow meow~ (Of course! How can one find food without being attentive? )” Li Li said as he scooped out a can with his paw and started eating. When he heard about it earlier, he felt that the layout here was a bit strange.
When he walked to this wall, he found that it was empty inside.
With a quick thought, he could guess that there must be something stored inside. Sure enough, after scratching it open, he found food.
“Gulp gulp~ (You’re right. Then what should we do with this gold? )” Matthew asked, fiddling with the gold bars and coins inside the hole.
Although he was a forest elf, he also knew that gold was a hard currency. It could be used in any world.
“Meow meow~ (Of course, you keep it. Melt it into gold biscuits later, and we’ll split it evenly. )” Li Li said, looking at the gold coins.
If he brought this thing back, who knows if it would be discovered? It was most reliable to melt it into gold biscuits.
“Gulp gulp~ (Okay. )” Matthew nodded and put all the gold bars and coins into his spatial backpack.
Then, he picked up an automatic rifle inside and started fiddling with it. He had seen this thing in the Comprehensive Network Trading Mall before.
It seemed to cost over a dozen Comprehensive Network Coins. However, he didn’t know whether this one was functional or broken.
If it was functional, he could put it up for sale on the Item Exchange.
“Rumble rumble rumble rumble”
As he was thinking about this, the rumbling sound of engines suddenly came from outside, along with noisy human voices: “Those two little guys are in this building, but we didn’t see that Zombie King. I wonder where it ran off to?”
“Isn’t that simple? Just ask those two little guys, and we’ll know. ”
“That’s right, I also have many questions I want to ask them. ”
“Meow meow~ (They came so fast? )” Li Li, who had eaten a few cans of food, was a little surprised.
It hadn’t been even an hour since they sent the message.
How did these guys get here so fast? This was too outrageous.
“Gulp gulp~ (They must have come in their own vehicles. )” Matthew said from the side. “Gulp gulp~ (They are all experienced players. They can buy flying vehicles and other flying tools from the mall. )”
“Meow meow~ (Is that so? I see. )” Li Li said, understanding. So they were a bunch of d*mn rich guys. No wonder they were so fast.
“Gulp gulp~ (Brother Cat, are we really going out? These guys are experienced players. Moreover, the Comprehensive Network doesn’t restrict players from killing each other. No matter how you look at it, it’s not in our favor. )” Seeing Li Li grumbling, Matthew continued.
“Meow meow~ (What else can we do if we don’t go out? Do you want to be chased by them? )” Li Li said in annoyance. “Meow meow~ (And they don’t know anything about our background. As long as you listen to me, we can definitely scare them. )”
Could they outrun these guys? Besides, running away would make them look suspicious, which could be even worse for them.
The right thing to do was to stand out arrogantly and make the other side think they were strong.
“Gulp gulp~ (Will it work? )” Matthew asked nervously.
“Meow meow~ (If you have a better idea, then we don’t need to do this. )” Li Li looked at him and said. Anyway, he didn’t have a better idea. If Matthew did, he could say it.
“Gulp gulp~ (Then let’s do as Brother Cat says. )” Upon hearing this, Matthew immediately shook his head and said.
“Meow meow~ (That’s right. Put away this food, and let’s go meet them. Relax, don’t be afraid. )”
“Meow meow~ (We are not the weaklings we were yesterday. )” Li Li encouraged.
“Gulp gulp~ (I’ll try my best… )”
Matthew trembled as he heard this. After putting away the food, he followed Li Li towards the window.
“Those two little guys don’t seem to want to talk to us. Should we go in and grab them out?” the Jackalman, stepping on the flower bed, said, with an impatient look on his face.
“It’s better not to. Don’t scare them. ” the Druid shook his head upon hearing this.
“That’s right. If word gets out, who knows what they’ll say? They might say we bully the weak. ” the Swordsman nodded in agreement.
The window on the fifth floor was smashed by a paw.
“Meow meow~ (Not much ability, but big talk. Do you wild dogs only know how to bully the weak? )” Li Li stood on the windowsill, looking down at the players below and said.
Beside him was Matthew, clutching his staff tightly.
“Gulp gulp~ (Brother Cat, are you sure this won’t provoke them? That wild wolf doesn’t look like a pushover. )” Matthew was dumbfounded when he heard this.
Brother Cat hadn’t told him how to talk to these experienced players.
“Meow meow~ (You don’t understand. To deal with someone fiercer than you, you have to be even fiercer to keep them in check. Otherwise, they’ll think you’re afraid of them and they’ll push their luck. )” Li Li explained in the friend chat, glanced at Matthew, and then jumped directly from the building.
Seeing this, Matthew quickly followed and jumped down.
“You d*mn little thing, believe it or not, I’ll tear you to shreds?” the Jackalman said with fierce eyes.
“Meow meow~ (If you had the ability, why would you be talking nonsense here? And with your crippled leg, can you even catch me? )” Li Li raised his head and said, his eyes full of disdain.
“Argh~”
“I can’t stand it anymore, I’m going to tear you apart. ” The Jackalman’s eyes turned red upon hearing this.
“Alright, calm down. Don’t be impulsive here. We still need to get information from him. ” the Sorcerer stopped the Jackalman and said.
“Yeah, can you not be so reckless? Your temper has already ruined our plans many times. Just restrain yourself a little this time. Besides, he’s not wrong. ” the Witch said with a smile.
“Meow meow~ (Did you hear that? Your companions are saying the same thing. I’m not the only one who thinks so. )” Li Li sat on the ground leisurely and said.
Matthew, watching from the side, felt his heart pounding. He just wanted to know, was Brother Cat always this brave?
“Alright, little kitty, shouldn’t you explain to us where the Zombie King went?” the Mechanic said with a smile.
