54: Flying Sword Sanctuary

"The wind is picking up again."

Tang Ping emerged from the underground garage, his gaze somewhat solemn. The wind, which was level six in the morning, was now rapidly intensifying!

Sandstorms, like ocean waves, rose from the ground, climbing higher and higher!

One must know that the Infected outside were already extremely agile, with speeds like cheetahs and sharp claws. If an ordinary person was discovered, the probability of escaping the Infected's pursuit was almost zero.

Now, with a hurricane rising outside, it undoubtedly made the already dangerous environment even more perilous.

Even players with a Shelter could lose their lives instantly if they weren't careful.

The wind grew stronger, and the sky-darkening sandstorms howled, uprooting trees and plants.

A level ten hurricane! To be precise, it was a level ten sandstorm.

However, in this wind that could blow people away, Tang Ping, dressed in a white tracksuit, walked as if strolling through a breeze.

"treasure chest?"

Through the sandstorm, Tang Ping clearly saw a gray-black chest.

From a nearby restaurant, a figure rushed towards the treasure chest, one step ahead of Tang Ping!

Tang Ping's finger slightly bent, and he shot out an egg-sized fireball.

The crimson flame spread, enveloping the doomsday treasure chest. The person, unable to stop in time, quickly dodged, rolling five or six meters on the ground before stopping.

By the time the person stood up, Tang Ping had already pocketed the doomsday treasure chest.

Although it might only contain an attribute stone, or perhaps not even a transcendent item.

But that didn't mean he would give it to a stranger.

"Who are you? I found this treasure chest first! How dare you steal my treasure chest!" The figure turned out to be just a fifteen or sixteen-year-old girl. She scrambled up from the ground, glaring at Tang Ping with indignation.

"Because I'm stronger than you, little trash."

"You're the little trash, your whole family is little trash! I have a B-Rank Talent!" The girl seemed a little scared, but she was clearly unwilling to give up: "I found the location of this treasure chest with a treasure map! I've been waiting for over two hours! You can't take my doomsday treasure chest!"

"treasure map?" Tang Ping raised an eyebrow. What was that? It sounded like it could help locate where treasure chests would refresh in advance. It seemed a bit magical.

"Yes! I used a treasure map to find this doomsday treasure chest two hours in advance! It's mine!" The girl clenched her fists.

"Sorry, the treasure chest is mine now." Tang Ping turned to leave.

"If you don't give it back, I'm going to attack!"

"I'm really going to attack!"

"Take this!"

A sharp sword wind thrust towards Tang Ping's shoulder!

Tang Ping's heart skipped a beat. This was a sword shelter item!

He turned, drew the Tang Blade from his back, and crimson flames instantly spread, slashing down at the sword flying through the air!

Clang! Metal clanged with a vibrating sound.

A powerful force, following the Tang Blade, poured into the flying sword, and the flying sword was instantly sent flying.

However, because shelter items inherently possessed the characteristic of being indestructible, no matter how powerful an attack, it was impossible to destroy them, unless they were completely bound to a player and disappeared with the player's death.

"How is that possible!" The girl stared blankly at her flying sword, which had been sent flying. Someone actually managed to block her flying sword!

And even knocked it away!

The people she had encountered before would either beg for mercy if she stabbed their shoulder, or even run away at the sight of her flying sword.

How could this time be different... The girl's eyes were filled with surprise. The feeling she got just now was as if this person had eyes on the back of his head.

"Flying Sword Shelter?" Tang Ping stopped, immediately contemplating acquiring it. Although it was only a B-Rank Talent, this was still the early stage of the Doomsday Game, with opportunities everywhere. As long as the girl was willing to fight for it, upgrading to an A-Rank Talent in the future wouldn't be a big problem.

"That's right! Scared now, aren't you!" Lu Huihui straightened her back again, threatening: "Hand over the doomsday treasure chest immediately, or I won't let you off!"

Suddenly, Lu Huihui felt the person in front of her disappear. She immediately became alert, but then, a fist the size of a sandbag suddenly loomed large in front of her eyes!

Lu Huihui's eyes widened.

The next second, she fainted directly.

"Alright, it's on the way. I'll find Sister Wang and the others and drop you off."

Tang Ping clapped his hands, sighing inwardly, "In the early stages of the Doomsday Game, people with good Talents are easy to pick up."

Picking up the girl's shelter item, Tang Ping observed it carefully. It was a small sword, like a toy. Without its enhancement, the small sword was only ten centimeters long.

After all, when choosing a shelter item, items that were too large simply couldn't be selected.

But what surprised Tang Ping was that the material of this small sword seemed... quite extraordinary!

His spiritual energy could already be released. Observing the small sword through his spiritual sense, he could see a mysterious flow of energy within it.

Tang Ping, who already knew that this world was not simple, immediately concluded that the origin of this small sword was probably also an item from the mysterious side of Blue Star.

"This shelter item's characteristic is probably not low, at least A-Rank!"

Tang Ping thought to himself, even a golden minimum had a C-Rank characteristic, let alone an item from the mysterious side.

Of course, Tang Ping had no intention of plundering it. After all, a person could only have one shelter item, and under the Doomsday Game, no shelter item's characteristic was higher than his own.

He found a shopping cart in a nearby supermarket, put the girl in it, and dragged her along, continuing towards Sister Wang's location.

"I wonder how Sister Wang and the others are doing in the Doomsday Perilous City dungeon."

That was a very dangerous dungeon, but with two S-rank Talent players, there shouldn't be too big of a problem.

Tang Ping walked slowly against the sandstorm, opening his panel to ask Sister Wang.

Tang Ping: "Sister Wang, how are things on your end?"

Soon, Sister Wang replied: "With that little girl there, there aren't too many problems. We've completed quite a few hidden quests, all rewarding attribute stones, experience stones, and similar items. This city is very big, and we've only completed half of the hidden quests you gave us so far."

Tang Ping: "Alright, I'm heading towards the dungeon. Later, I'll drop a girl off at a hotel on Tianhua Avenue East Road. Don't forget to pick her up when you come out."

Sister Wang: "What's wrong? Is she your girlfriend? I'm telling you, don't bully her, or I won't let you off! When you were a sophomore, your grandpa traveled thousands of miles to bring me a basket of local eggs, and I can't accept them for nothing! Oh, and I brought that walking stick too. If it wasn't too big, I guess your grandpa's walking stick would have been my shelter item."

Tang Ping: "..."

Tang Ping: "Sister Wang, what are you talking about? I just saw that this girl has good Talent and wanted to bring her to you. She might become the combat leader of Starlight Club in the future."

Sister Wang: "Oh, that's it. Alright, I'll tell Little Six to go pick you up later. You can hand the girl over to Little Six to avoid any danger outside."

Tang Ping: "Okay, then Sister Wang, you go ahead and get busy. Oh, by the way, I'm planning to go to Pingcheng City next, and I won't be back for a while."

Sister Wang: "Pingcheng City? Alright, but be careful yourself. I heard there are several very powerful Calamity Beasts there."

Tang Ping: "I know."

Ending the chat, Tang Ping turned back towards Tianhua Avenue.

At the corner of Tianhua Avenue East Road, Tang Ping spotted Little Six, who was peeking around, from a distance.

"Brother Tang Ping!" Little Six exclaimed in surprise, rushing over.

"Little Six, catch!"
