Doomsday Train, I went crazy by hoarding billions of items.

Chapter 48: 31 hours, 37 minutes, and 16 seconds remaining

The message following the selfie read: "I want to kill him, can you help me, A-Yang?"

Seemingly worried that Lin Yang might misunderstand her, Yan Yan then sent a long message: "I know that you've become so capable now, A Yang, that you probably look down on me, who's utterly useless. But no matter what, I want to tell you that those things I didn't finish saying back then, actually..."

"Forget it, there's no point in saying all this now; you probably wouldn't believe me anyway. Ah Yang, I want to cooperate with you. I've struggled to survive until today because I'm unwilling to give up. I want revenge, and I want to see you one more time..."

"But the power disparity between me and the Ghost Domain is too great. You don't know this, do you? The Ghost Domain is actually Zhang Cheng, who always made things difficult for you back then!"

"Before, I had no better option than to die together with them, but Ah Yang, you gave me a glimmer of hope. Could you... lend me a gun?"

"Don't worry, I won't let you pay for nothing! In exchange, after killing Zhang Cheng, I can help you take over the Holy Land Guild and also help you obtain Zhang Cheng's resources!"
"Consider it... making up for not telling you about Zhang Cheng's conspiracy beforehand, and... the regrets I couldn't express back then."

After saying that, she even proactively sent me screenshots of her skills.

Jiang Ran couldn't help but sigh inwardly: Good heavens, this is a master.

If it were just this selfie and her act of weakness, if she were truly the original "black-stockinged young lady," she probably wouldn't take Yan Yan too seriously.

At most, it was regarded as a "trophy" of defeating Zhang Cheng.

Not to mention that she was facing Jiang Ran, who had struggled to survive the apocalypse and whose heart was colder than a fish-killing knife from RT-Mart.

Ke Yanyan is indeed very smart, or rather, she is very good at fishing.

This delicate and beautiful yet strong persona is probably a unique and tailor-made one for Lin Yang, whom Yan Yan knows.

Who could resist a beautiful woman who harbors hatred for their enemy and shares a past relationship with them, yet instead of using that past relationship to seek protection, strives for revenge and thinks of them?
Isn't that a bit too comprehensive?

If it really was that black-stockinged young lady who once had feelings for Yan Yan, could she resist the goddess's attitude?

Jiang Ran was silent for a moment before continuing, "Zhang Cheng? You've actually gotten involved with him. Don't think I don't know what you're thinking; you just want to come and rely on me now that I'm successful."

"Do you really think I'm still the same person I was back then? Besides, how do I know if you and Zhang Cheng are setting me up? I saw you were getting along really well with him before."

Although I don't know how Yan Yan and Lin Yang got along before, judging from Yan Yan's tone, it's probably a story of a goddess and a simp.

Although Jiang Ran didn't have much experience in this area, she had read a lot of novels about face-slapping, so following this line of thinking wouldn't be wrong.

After all, she couldn't be sure yet whether Yan Yan genuinely wanted to join Lin Yang or was simply helping Zhang Cheng lure Lin Yang out.

However, the scars on Yan Yan's body did not look fake.

and……

Jiang Ran still had a lingering thought in her mind.

If she possessed such a skill, even if she could only use it once, would she be willing to remain subservient to others forever?
This is only the second dungeon, and resources and weapons largely determine a person's strength. Even though many skill and item cards with different effects have been obtained, for most players who are not good at combat, apart from those skills that can kill in one hit, guns are still more intimidating.

That's why there are players who, relying on their weapons and manpower, directly sweep through villages in convoys.

By the time they reached the third instance, everyone had accumulated some initial wealth through plundering.

After snowballing their power through weaponry, the so-called "upper-middle-class players" gradually stopped worrying about supplies by enslaving and exploiting the "lower-class players."

Back then, what troubled everyone more were the unknown natural disaster dungeons, the increasingly powerful dangerous creatures, and the players who were enhanced by various skills and items.

Therefore, if Jiang Ran had this skill, she would definitely find a way to take control of the resources.

For example... when the Ghost Realm and the Black Silk Lady were both severely injured.

But all of this is just her speculation. We'll have to wait for Yan Yan's reply to figure out her intentions.

However, the skill description that Yan Yan sent seemed a bit strange?
Jiang Ran's gaze fell on "31 hours, 37 minutes, and 16 seconds remaining" on the screenshot, her eyes flickering slightly.

On the other side, Zhao Yan looked at the message sent by "Lin Yang" and a look of understanding flashed in her eyes: he still cared about her after all.

A smile played on her lips, but she didn't rush to reply. Instead, she deleted part of the message she had sent.

Then he sent the screenshot to Zhang Cheng, flattering him, "Lin Yang has taken the bait. I'll find a way to lure him out as soon as possible. When that happens, you can personally take action and make sure he doesn't leave alive!"

Zhang Cheng glanced at the records with a gloomy expression, then turned to Zhao Yan, touched her face which was pale from the cold after she went out, and said gently, "My dear. But, now that Lin Yang is so powerful and has been thinking about you, will you... consider using him to kill me? Hmm?"

Zhao Yan's eyes instantly reddened. She lowered her head and affectionately rubbed her cheek against Zhang Cheng's hand: "Whether it was then or now, my heart belongs to Lord Guiyu."

"I believe that once you kill Lin Yang and obtain his resources, you will be able to rise rapidly and become the ruler of the apocalypse."

“A fool like Lin Yang, who only has resources, is only fit to be your stepping stone. It would be an honor for him to die at your hands. How could I possibly betray you for his sake?”

Zhang Cheng chuckled, but his expression had improved considerably.

He patted Zhao Yan's face reassuringly: "Good girl. You know I hate betrayal the most. As long as you continue to be good, I will naturally spoil you."

After saying that, he put his arm around Zhao Yan and leaned back on the sofa. He lit a cigar and said lazily, "He has a lot of weapons on him, including landmines and bombs. You should find out his background first before you lure him over."

Yan Yan nestled obediently against Zhang Cheng: "Don't worry, Lin Yang won't escape your grasp..."

Next, we'll see whether Lin Yang forces Zhang Cheng to reveal his trump card, or whether Zhang Cheng corners Lin Yang.

Of course, if she was destined to receive supplies from only one person, Zhao Yan's only choice was Lin Yang.
