Global Collapse

Chapter 711 Squid Logistics. Your Best Choice
Looking at the message sent by Ai Zitao, Gu Mian fell into deep thought.

After going around in circles, we've come full circle back to Zhao Tiankuo. It's no wonder they're the system-matched couple; they're quite destined for each other.

"Speaking of which, didn't we pass by Zhao Tiankuo when we were arresting this old man?" He turned to look at Chu Changge and Keke.

Coco nodded: "He did pass by."

"Is that the person I saw running with two arms and two legs when I was running away?" Wang Napao also remembered the scene he saw when he was running away.

He slapped his thigh: "Look at you, look at you! All you did was chase me around, and now you've gone to the trouble of finding him. If you had just stopped the car and grabbed him, you wouldn't have had to search for him all this time. Now look what's happened, that Zhao Tiankuo guy is nowhere to be found, and you'll have to waste your time looking for him..."

It didn't take much effort; Coco pulled out the special item Gu Mian had just thrown to her: the "Mission Delivered Express Slip."

This delivery slip was just taken from Wang Napao.

【Delivery Guaranteed】Express Delivery Waybill

[Introduction: "Dog Egg? Who's Dog Egg?! Your package has arrived!" Squid Logistics' latest product, developed to cope with busy logistics, eliminates the need for a courier; simply enter your name for one-click delivery. You deserve it!]

【Function: Attach the shipping label to the item you want to deliver, enter the recipient's name in the recipient field, and the delivery service will automatically deliver your goods】

[Note: According to regulations, this express delivery order cannot be used to deliver live animals, weapons, explosives, obscene publications, or other prohibited items.]

Although you can't deliver live animals, you can definitely deliver the rocking car that Coco borrowed.

Fill in Zhao Tiankuo's name in the recipient field, then stick it on the rocking car, and the car will automatically take them to Zhao Tiankuo.

Just do it.

Gu Mian grabbed Wang Napao and led him to jump onto the rear bumper of the rocking car. Then she filled in Zhao Tiankuo's name in the delivery receipt column and stuck the receipt on the back of the rocking car.

Immediately afterwards, a voice came from the delivery slip—

"Squid Brand tracking number at your service. We are currently searching for the recipient's location. Please wait..."

"Recipient's location has been confirmed; delivery will be made shortly."

As soon as she finished speaking, Gu Mian saw something seeming to grow out of the delivery slip.

The next second, a thick leg suddenly tore through the delivery slip and grew out, followed by a second, a third, until a total of six legs grew before it stopped.

Then, the six legs that grew out from the back of the car started moving at the same time, propelling the rocking car forward at high speed.

Coco gripped the edge of the rocking horse tightly, staring in shock at the six legs that sprouted from the delivery slip. She finally understood why the company that invented this delivery slip was called Squid Logistics; it was no different from having a giant squid carry it around.

These six legs were quite shy; they immediately carried them into the green belt and ran towards some nook or cranny, probably afraid of scaring the normal people in this world.

"What are you still holding onto me for? Put me down!"

Wang Na was still being held by Gu Mian.

The small rocking horse seats were already crowded with Chu Changge and Coco, and Gu Mian could only barely stand on the bumper at the back of the car.

Wang Napao didn't even have a place on the bumper; he was dragged along by Gu Mian's hand, his buttocks scraping the ground and creating a trail of sparks.

Wang Na's buttocks felt like they were on fire, and he cried out in pain, "Ouch, ouch, ouch, ouch, ouch..."

Gu Mian decided to bring Wang Napao along after careful consideration.

If, after they find Zhao Tiankuo, he says something like, "I don't have amusement park admission ticket, but so-and-so does," then they'll have to go find the person Zhao Tiankuo mentioned. Wang Napao is at least the head of an insurance branch, so at least he can be a wayfinding NPC.

Meanwhile, Zhao Tiankuo was furtively spying on Feng Chui Pipi Liang and Yue Luo Wu Ti.

After narrowly escaping with Gu Mian, he immediately ran in the opposite direction from Gu Mian.

But after running for a while, he suddenly had a flash of inspiration: "Gu Mian passed by just now and I didn't grab him, so he must have gone to chase that old man. Once he catches the old man, he might turn back to grab me. He must have seen me running this way!"

The more Zhao Tiankuo thought about it, the more convinced he was that Gu Mian would definitely turn around and catch him. So, thinking he was being clever, he took a long detour and changed direction, hoping that he would avoid being caught.

While he was hiding and searching everywhere, he found a secluded place and, by sheer coincidence, he discovered the sounds of "wind blowing on a cool bottom" and "moon setting and crows crying" in an unfinished building.

It was already dusk, and the two of them were looking for a secluded place to hide when they were discovered by Zhao Tiankuo, who was also looking for a hiding place.

At this moment, the two were unaware that they had been discovered, and were discussing the events that had occurred not long ago in the unfinished building with lingering fear.

"Why did that ghost stop chasing us halfway through?" Yueluowuti was completely baffled.

The wind blew his buttocks and shook his head: "I don't know either. When I looked back, I saw him crawling on the ground like a monster chasing us. I was so scared that I didn't dare to look back after that one glance. I didn't expect that when I looked back a while later, the ghost was gone."

When the moon set and the crows cried, he didn't look behind him as he ran away, but he seemed to have heard some strange noises: "By the way, did you hear any noises when you were running away?"

"I was so nervous back then that I couldn't hear anything even if there were sounds." Feng Chui Pipiliang shook his head.

At this point, he suddenly remembered something and immediately took out his phone from his pocket to see if he had received any new messages.

He breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that there were no new messages. If Song Meng had sent him a message while he was running away and he hadn't replied, it might have angered her.

Now that we know that the "doctor's" love interest, Zhao Tiankuo, is a ghost, then their love interests are also nine-tenths likely ghosts as well.

As the wind chilled her bottom, she put her phone away and asked the moonlit crow beside her, "Why are you asking me that? Did you hear anything when we were running away?" "You might not believe it, but I think I heard a cheerful children's song, but I was too nervous to hear the details."

"Children's songs? Are you sure?"

Hearing a cheerful children's song while being chased by a ghost is just too incongruous.

Could it be that the ghost was carrying a Walkman while chasing them, enjoying music as it went?
“I’m sure, and I remember that I only heard the music after the ghost appeared, and the music disappeared when I stopped and found that the ghost had disappeared.”

"Could it be that there's some connection between the ghost and that nursery rhyme? Does the ghost appear as soon as the nursery rhyme is played?" Wind Blows on My Buttocks and I asked hesitantly. "Do you still remember the tune and lyrics of that nursery rhyme?"

Moonfall Crow Cries shook his head: "At the time, most of my attention was focused on escaping. I only vaguely noticed that a children's song was playing behind me, but I didn't have time to remember it carefully."

"I suspect there's a connection between the nursery rhyme you heard and ghosts. Think carefully and see if you can recall anything."

As the moon set and crows cried, he frowned, trying hard to recall the events of that time.

She tried her best to recall the tune of the children's song, but couldn't remember it for a while.

Just then, the guy next to me, whose bottom was cold, suddenly spoke up: "What's Daddy's dad called? Daddy's dad is called Grandpa..."

Moonlit Crow looked up at him in surprise: "Yes! That's it. How did you know?"

The wind blew cold against his bottom, his face turned pale, and his voice became very soft, almost squeezed out between his teeth: "I heard you."

As the moon set and crows cried, I opened my eyes wide and faintly heard the cheerful children's song.

What's going on? Is a ghost chasing us?!

She instinctively turned around and immediately saw a dark figure standing in the distance behind them.

It's Zhao Tiankuo!

"Run!" Yue Luowuti felt a chill run down his spine and quickly ran down the stairs next to him.

Feng Chui Pipiliang also saw Zhao Tiankuo behind her and ran downstairs after him.

Zhao Tiankuo's attention was focused on the "wind blowing on his bottom" and "the moon setting and crows crying," and he didn't notice the faint children's song.

Upon realizing they had spotted him, Zhao Tiankuo immediately gave chase.

He was incredibly unlucky to be matched with Gu Mian as his online love interest. He didn't dare to pursue Gu Mian, so he decided to pursue the two players who were matched with Gu Mian in the dungeon instead. The thought that they were in cahoots with Gu Mian fueled Zhao Tiankuo's malice, and his expression became increasingly ferocious.

As the moon set and crows cried, a cool breeze blew down my backside. I ran all the way downstairs to an unfinished residential area. The surrounding area was desolate, with only rows of abandoned buildings standing in the middle.

At this time, the sun has completely set and night is about to fall. Once night falls, there is almost no light source in this place, and one can only see by moonlight.

We must leave this place, otherwise we might be completely lost at night, and we might even run into a ghost while running.

"Let's split up and run!" said the moonlit crow, its cry echoing through the cool breeze.

"Wind Blows on My Butt" immediately understood and ran in another direction, while "Moon Sets and Crows Cry" continued forward.

She quickly realized that things were not going well.

The footsteps following her didn't disappear; instead, they grew closer. She realized that the ghost was chasing her.

Realizing this, she ran forward even faster, but no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't shake off the footsteps behind her. The sound was rapidly approaching and would probably catch up with her soon.

As Yueluowuti looked back in a bit of a panic, he saw Zhao Tiankuo following closely behind him with a huge, wide smile that almost reached his ears. The scar on his cheek was pushed to one side by this eerie laugh, making his entire face look even more distorted and terrifying.

Seeing the moon set and the crows cry as they turned to look at him, Zhao Tiankuo's eyes widened with excitement, his smile filled with malice.

Upon seeing that terrifying face, Yue Luo Wu Ti staggered and almost tripped.

Then she heard the singing seem to be getting louder and louder.

The ghost chasing her seemed to have heard something too, and the twisted smile on its face gradually disappeared.

The smile on Yueluowuti's face had barely frozen for two seconds when a terrifying, multicolored, multi-legged, multi-bodied, and multi-headed creature, screaming in pain, suddenly leaped out from behind him and slammed down on the ghost without any restraint.

Zhao Tiankuo, who was originally all smiles, was instantly smashed to the ground, and now his terrifying face was nowhere to be seen.

That's terrifying! That's terrifying!

Before she could even get a good look at what had smashed Zhao Tiankuo, she turned and ran frantically forward. She didn't dare to look at the strange creature with several legs and several heads that was still screaming. She just hoped that it wouldn't catch up with her.

Gu Mian stood on the bumper, watching curiously as Yue Luo Wu Ti hurriedly fled.

That looks like a player, why are they running away when they see them?
"It hurts..."

Wang Napao, who was being carried in one hand, was still clutching his buttocks and crying out in pain. Gu Mian slapped him on the forehead, and he finally calmed down.

Wow, wow, wow, wow! You didn't wait until after midnight to post today! What a diligent auntie! This chapter has 3,200 words! Thinking about it makes me even more diligent (smug face).
