Chapter 609: This Pedal, Even a Ghost Would Turn to Sauce
Chapter 609: This Pedal, Even a Ghost Would Turn to Sauce
"Huh, not in the apartment? Where was I sent to complete a mission?"
After circling for a while, Qin Muye realized that he was no longer in the apartment. He guessed that the apartment had sent him out to survive, which was quite normal. After all, he had rested for two days, something that ordinary workers rarely enjoyed.
"Let me check where I am." Qin Muye activated the protagonist radar, which he had modified from the original protagonist aura radar.
Although the protagonist aura and the Ghost Region Chosen talent were different, Qin Muye had the existing device and didn't need to start from scratch. He only needed to reset the internal data and import the Ghost Region Chosen data, which wasn't too difficult.
"Is this location outside the city?" Qin Muye pulled up the map and compared the positions. He confirmed that he was indeed outside the city, and according to the map, it seemed to be a small, backward village.
Well, given the situation in the Ghost Region, backwardness was the norm everywhere.
Although there were modern facilities, the actual water, electricity, and internet services were just superficial.
"Alright, I'll head out of the city. Once I gather the Ghost Region Chosen talents from the people here, I can move on to the next area and cause more trouble. There are still quite a few people with the Ghost Region Chosen talent."
There were twelve more scattered survivors, and the areas they were in were quite far apart, so he needed to act quickly to gather the World's Source from them.
The closest Ghost Region Chosen individual was the protagonist outside the city.
"So, there are only thirteen active derivative anomalies left in the Ghost Region?" Qin Muye couldn't help but think about this.
Excluding himself and the protagonist in the "Universal Horror" game who no longer had the Ghost Region Chosen talent, there were only twelve left, a significant loss.
But this was also quite normal. Facing the full-scale assault by the Global Defenders Organization, it was impressive that thirteen derivative anomalies were still active.
Qin Muye even suspected that the remaining derivative anomalies were still being hunted by the Global Defenders Organization's special task forces. After today, who knew how many would be left.
Moreover, some of these twelve protagonists might already have been captured by the special task forces, even if they still existed, they were no longer free.
Luckily, these special task forces hadn't mastered the extraction technology, which is why the protagonists' identities were still intact.
But whether Dr. Ma could figure it out was another matter. Given the current level of black technology in the Global Defenders Organization, they were likely involved in some research on fortune and protagonists.
"I need to find a way to infiltrate the Global Defenders Organization's database." Qin Muye pondered this but didn't act immediately.
The more critical it was, the more he needed to be restrained. After all, he was here to pass the time, not to complete a mission. He couldn't overdo it.
It was fine to wreak havoc in the Ghost Region for fun, as it wouldn't affect the outside world. But if he caused trouble in the real world, who knew what could happen.
Driving toward the outskirts, the surroundings became increasingly dilapidated. It seemed that resources were indeed running low, and buildings were being dismantled to support daily life.
He knew this was due to the blockade by the Global Defenders Organization, leading to malnutrition. When Qin Muye first arrived, the Ghost Region wasn't like this; it was more like a miniature world. Now, it could only provide limited support, and even the number of ghosts was pitifully low.
"However, the Global Defenders Organization probably won't push too hard. They will weaken the Ghost Region and then contain it. If they push too hard, it might lead to a desperate situation."
An Omega-level anomaly was not to be taken lightly. While the Ghost Region might only be one of the Omega-level anomalies contained by the Global Defenders Organization, it was still highly valued.
Qin Muye had never seen the Global Defenders Organization push any anomaly to the brink of death. Instead, their goal was to minimize the harm, and he had never seen them destroy or kill anomalies.
Qin Muye also knew that even if they tried to kill, they might not succeed. After all, anomalies inherently contained the rules of the bizarre universe, and destroying or killing them could have catastrophic consequences.
After driving recklessly for nearly half an hour, Qin Muye finally saw the small village in the distance.
"This road is really bad. If it weren't for my driving skills, I would have been shaken to pieces."
Qin Muye complained.
It was unclear whether the Ghost Region was just too poor or if it was set up this way, but ever since he left the city limits, the roads ahead were truly beyond description.
Fortunately, he had made it through. He was now seriously considering converting his RV into an airplane. Otherwise, driving such long distances would take forever.
"I'll just turn it into a fighter jet!" Qin Muye thought it could work.
Flying in the sky was much better than driving on the ground.
However, he needed to first obtain the Ghost Region Chosen talent from the protagonist in this small village before making any modifications. He could then use the local materials.
Luckily, Qin Muye didn't follow the rules, or he wouldn't have been able to enter at all. The small road was blocked by all sorts of debris and obstacles.
With one hard press of the accelerator, he plowed through the mess, whether it was a pile of junk or a narrow alley, creating a clear path forward.
"This place is like a maze, with twists and turns everywhere."
Qin Muye soon discovered a significant issue: there was no direct route to the protagonist in the village. Based on his observations, following the village roads would take at least half an hour.
He didn't want to waste half an hour on this.
The solution was simple: go straight.
Qin Muye turned the steering wheel and crashed through a nearby house. The force and impact were considerable, given that his RV was converted from a convenience store, with a significant size and volume.
Better-built houses remained as outlines, while the weaker ones were reduced to rubble. With the powerful performance of his vehicle, he didn't need to worry about any obstacles or being buried by collapsed houses. He just closed his eyes and charged forward, as long as the protagonist's position didn't change, neither would his direction.
Bang~
"Why is there a ditch here???"
Qin Muye was flabbergasted. Why wasn't it marked on the map? It was too small to show up.
Now, most of his RV was stuck in the ditch. He wondered why such a wide ditch was dug in the village. Didn't they fear children falling in?
But Qin Muye quickly understood. This was the Ghost Region. Even if there were children, they were likely ghosts. Instead of worrying about drowning in a ditch, it was more concerning whether they might be dragged into a corner and devoured by other ghosts.
After all, ghosts wouldn't drown, but they could be completely consumed.
"Should have installed an anti-gravity system. Now I'm stuck and have to find a way to blast a path out." Qin Muye was helpless. He hadn't expected this to happen.
Although he didn't have an anti-gravity system, his RV was equipped with a large arsenal. He could simply blast a path out of the ditch.
The explosion shook the entire village, turning the ditch into a massive crater. Qin Muye's armored RV remained unscathed at the bottom of the crater.
"The defensive capabilities met my expectations. Even the rearview mirror didn't break," Qin Muye was very satisfied. He then slowly drove out of the crater, heading straight for the protagonist's location.
As long as the vehicle was intact, he wouldn't stop.
If the vehicle broke down, he would convert it into a fighter jet. He had plenty of experience with that.
On the way, he encountered and crashed through houses and ghosts, finally arriving at a temple.
"This small village is quite wealthy, with so many ghosts. There aren't many left in the city." Qin Muye couldn't help but comment.
In the Ghost Region, wealth was measured by the number of ghosts, not the location.
Before entering the village, he had run over more than ten ghosts. Yet, this temple still had three, which was quite impressive.
There weren't many ghosts left in the city, mainly because Qin Muye had caught them all when he went to the Garden Restaurant. Those who didn't come were likely already part of the Ghost Region's nutrition.
So, for a small village to have such a number of ghosts was indeed unusual, probably due to the presence of a derivative anomaly executing a mission.
"Let's go in and see if I can get some raw materials for sausages." Qin Muye immediately stepped on the accelerator.
