Gu Mian turned back.
Fatty was standing behind him with a warm smile, his bizarre grin almost plastered in front of his face.
His upturned mouth moved as he spoke: "You're here, Doctor... you're here..."
Damn it, what a lunatic!
Why are there so many 'Fatty's' in this place?
Gu Mian skillfully kicked him away, only to find two people sitting on his delivery bike at so point.
At this mont, they sat upright on the seat, only turning their heads to look at Gu Mian.
Their faces seed eerily white against the dark night, and the robotic dog no longer cheerfully asked if everyone was happy, instead it hid in the bike shelter, its head buried in a pile of packages out of fear.
No wonder it's scared.
Two identical, expressionless 'Chu Changge's' were sitting on the bike.
Both opened their mouths together, calling out to Gu Mian.
"Gu Mian, co over. Gu Mian, co over."
Gu Mian answered the call, walking over and kicking each of them off the bike.
Then he plopped down onto the bike seat, twisted the throttle and sped forward.
This place is too sinister, 'Fatty' and 'Chu Changge' gathering here.
He suspected that if he stayed here long enough, he might see others, like the resourceful Xiao Hong, the ruthless 007, the eloquent brother, or the masculine Keke.
Perhaps everyone he knows will co out to show their face.
Sure enough, as he thought, a hideously ugly face appeared in his line of sight.
He saw a woman in red standing right in front of the bike, her cheeky face calling out to Gu Mian: "Co, co, co..."
No wonder it's Xiao Hong, even if it's a knock-off, it still inherited the lack of oxygen to the brain, speaking one word at a ti.
Gu Mian couldn't bear to crash into this high-quality imitation Xiao Hong; this 'Xiao Hong' was actually more fitting with the real Xiao Hong than those 'Chu Changge's' and 'Fatty's' earlier.
He steered the bike around the person in the middle of the road.
'Xiao Hong's' head also turned in his direction, finally turning 180 degrees to watch Gu Mian leave, yet she didn't rush to attack him.
After driving around Xiao Hong, Gu Mian realized this wasn't the end.
He saw the road suddenly filled with people at so unknown ti, all of them familiar faces.
Everyone ca together, under the pitch-black sky, showing Gu Mian a smiling, welcoming expression, enthusiastically beckoning him to join them.
"Gu Mian..."
"Doctor..."
"Co on... co on..."
Gu Mian quickly headed towards Secret Forest, hitting five 'Fatty's', scraping four '007's', and kicking off a dozen blocking 'brothers' along the way.
Due to nurous obstacles along the way, the poor bike had beco battered and worn.
The packages at the back were scattered along the road, the canopy was dented, and the front light was knocked off by a 'Fatty's' butt, now the bike resembled an aging one-eyed dragon.
Gu Mian rode the one-eyed dragon, pondering about these people.
"There are a lot of these things, if they all pounced, they could crush to death, but they don't seem to have any attack power, and they haven't moved..."
Up ahead, he saw a blocking 'Chu Changge', and drove the bike to knock him down, but he showed no response, just continued lying on the ground expressionlessly beckoning: "Gu Mian, co..."
"Their intelligence seems low, and they appear defenseless." Gu Mian removed his gaze from the ground-bound 'Chu Changge'.
Why do they appear?
What is their purpose in appearing?
Could it be they are just here to stand on the street and wave at ?
Gu Mian couldn't quite understand.
"They only appeared after I arrived nearby." As he drove and looked ahead, through the hazy night, he saw black shadows in front resembling tree crowns.
Those were likely the Secret Forest.
"We're not far from the intact Evil God statue now; I wonder if recent anomalies are related to that statue." Gu Mian eyed the continuous shadows up front, skillfully avoiding the blocking 'Xiao Hong' ahead on the right.
Right after avoiding Xiao Hong, he heard a gunshot from the front.
Gu Mian imdiately braked.
Then, more gunshots rang out in succession from the front.
Gu Mian looked ahead, those gunshots ca from within the forest.
He took out the map to confirm his location, then instantly turned off the bike's light.
Lu Yi ntioned the Evil God statue was discovered by Upper Class People while digging caves, afterwards they removed all statue fragnts from the cave, leaving only one intact statue.
Such a valuable thing surely has corresponding security asures.
Gu Mian didn't believe the Upper Class People would let the Evil God statue gather dust by itself, there probably were layers of guards there.
Even though the area had beco a containnt zone, guards for the statue wouldn't be entirely withdrawn.
After all, with the statue here, this region remains relatively safe, no monsters dared venture close.
"What a difficult situation." Gu Mian hid the bike behind a sturdy tree, peeking at the forest ahead.
It was night, and from a distance, he couldn't see clearly.
This place is the "confidential area" concerning Paradise World's secrets, infiltrating it would be tough.
If it was rely ringed with ghosts, at most they'd crush down.
But ahead were Upper Class People ard with firearms, they wouldn't need to charge, they could turn into a sieve easily.
Those damn Upper Class People, worse than ghosts.
"Co, co, co..." anwhile, 'Xiao Hong' continued her singular lines.
Behind her, 'Chu Changge' and 'Fatty' remained diligently playing their roles as beckoning kittens.
Further back, there were more silhouettes waving towards .
These people had no attack power, only waving for Gu Mian to co near.
Gu Mian mimicked 'Xiao Hong's' posture from afar, shook his head, then turned to the 'Fatty' behind.
'Fatty's' body mass was large but not very agile.
If shots fired, this massive body could block every bullet up front, but it wasn't easy to move.
If Gu Mian attempted to move forward protected by 'Fatty', they might only make it twenty ters in five minutes, by then the alert Upper Class People would have long surrounded them.
He decided against using 'Fatty' as cover.
If only these 'people' could heed his rallying cry, charging forth and punching ten Upper Class People down.
But that's obviously unlikely.
Gu Mian started rummaging through his pockets for the few items he carried, limited by not having an inventory.
[Mother Summoner] was always with him, but he didn't expect 'Mother' to single-handedly face dozens of Upper Class People amidst gunfire.
Beyond that, there was [Key No. 108 from the Mysterious World] and the recently acquired [Wanted Poster of Ugly Mr. Gu] from this world.
How delightful, not a single special item seed useful.
Could he face the Upper Class People head-on with a re broken key or worn poster?
Relying on those things would be less reliable than expecting the 'people' behind to charge and beat the guards.
While Gu Mian clenched the wanted poster and worried, soone from behind overtook him, heading towards the front.
Gu Mian blinked, imdiately raised his head to look.
It was the 'Fatty' acting as a beckoning cat earlier.
And the 'Chu Changge' beside 'Fatty' was also slowly moving forward towards the forest.
It wasn't just them.
The group of waving people behind them were all moving forward.
Gu Mian backed away from the crowd surging towards the forest, frowning at them from the side: "These people..."
