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

Chapter 53 Do You Know What Substitute Literature Is?
Jiang Ran, not Xiaobai, was the one who wanted this skill copying ability, so naturally she wouldn't go to the trouble of bringing Yan Yan into the armored vehicle.

Upon receiving Jiang Ran's instructions, Xiao Bai said directly from inside the car, "It's just a copy skill. Just bind it to my substitute. I have too many skills of my own, I don't need them."

Hearing such arrogant words, the other players around who dared not make a move looked both envious and jealous.

But their lives were still hanging by a thread, and they just hoped that the great god would finish his business quickly and then withdraw his supernatural powers.

After all, no one knows if the black-stockinged young lady will remember the name of the Holy Land Guild and wipe out everyone—the image of the Anti-Young Lady Alliance being blown up is still fresh in everyone's mind.

When Zhao Yan heard Xiao Bai say this, a flash of resentment crossed her eyes, but she also knew that in front of the current "Lin Yang", her only asset was their past friendship.

Therefore, she dared not show any objection and could only say softly, "I have an item card in my backpack that can unbind one of my skills. But my body is currently out of control, and I can't open the backpack..."

Xiao Bai readily agreed, saying, "That's easy."

As soon as he finished speaking, Jiang Ran raised her gun and, seemingly without even aiming, casually fired a shot at Zhang Cheng.

Right in the center of the forehead.

The gunshot sent a shiver down Zhao Yan's spine.

She never expected that "Lin Yang" would not care about the supplies in Zhang Cheng's hands at all, and would just kill him directly!
Although she guessed it might be because there was no shortage of supplies, and was worried that things might change if things dragged on, in Zhao Yan's heart, Zhang Cheng's supplies belonged to her. Now that Zhang Cheng had died so easily, wasn't it the same as her losing a lot of supplies?

It's really hard to let go of.

Unbeknownst to Zhao Yan, Jiang Ran, hidden behind the mask, was also deeply pained by the loss.

However, firstly, she couldn't guarantee that after obtaining Yan Yan's skills, she would also gain the skills she had already copied; secondly, Yan Yan was too cunning, and Jiang Ran really didn't want to play these scheming games with her.

—It would be truly not worth it if the supplies in Zhangcheng contained some strange items that caused me to lose everything in my greed for those supplies.

Let's just pretend she never knew anything about "heritage plunder," and that she's already made a good deal by simply obtaining Yan Yan's copying skills.

Jiang Ran, whose heart was bleeding with heartache, tried her best to comfort herself.

On the other hand, Zhang Cheng was unaware that his supplies were being pitied by others.

He just stared blankly, never expecting to die so easily and hastily—as a beta tester with a unique advantage, when he obtained the "Absolute Domain" skill, he once thought that the game was hinting that he would eventually become the ruler of the apocalypse.

But now, he died helplessly in the snow, right in front of a bunch of players he had subdued.

He is not willing!

But it's all over now.

After Zhang Cheng breathed his last, Zhao Yan finally regained control of her body.

However, considering Jiang Ran's nonchalant manner when firing the gun and her accurate headshots, Zhao Yan no longer doubted the truth of the matter that "the black-stockinged young lady has an incredibly powerful combat puppet."

This news was spread among the members of the Holy Land Guilds who were on the scene, and eventually became known to everyone.

Other players who had been following this matter suddenly realized: No wonder he was so confident to go to the meeting with the Anti-Young Lady Alliance. With such a combat stand, he might not even be afraid of fatal injuries!
After all, the word "stand-in" allows for a lot of room for interpretation.

At the same time, many players lurking in the shadows have further amplified the perceived threat level of the "Black Silk Lady".

—Isn't this young lady's revenge coming a bit too fast? The Anti-Young Lady Alliance was only recently defeated by him, and now he's already wiped out the leader of the Holy Land Guild?! Not only is he vindictive, he's practically relentlessly pursuing and killing!
Looks like I'll have to be more careful with my words from now on, lest I accidentally offend the black-stockinged young lady one day and not even have time to write my will!

Jiang Ran had no idea that, in the eyes of all the players, the "Black Silk Miss" was no different from the Great Demon King.

She was simply very satisfied with the progress of building her alternate account. After confirming Xiaobai's identity as the "Black Silk Miss," she even managed to create a "stand-in" identity for herself.

Who understands the true value of stand-in literature like "I'm my own double"?

Once Yan Yan finally recovered from that uncontrollable panic, she immediately looked at the armored vehicle with a lighthearted yet slightly melancholic expression.

Seeing that Zhang Cheng was dead, the surrounding players also tried to sneak back.

Seeing that the young lady in black stockings didn't seem to intend to stop them from escaping, most of them ran away in no time. A few of the bolder ones even took the initiative to approach and ask, "Young lady, are you still taking people?"

Jiang Ran was originally waiting for Yan Yan to give her a skill card, but upon hearing this, she casually told Xiao Bai to send them away.

"roll."

Upon hearing this, the players, who had been wearing fawning smiles, immediately changed their expressions and dared not linger any longer.

Before leaving, someone even sneaked up to Zhang Cheng's body and tried to retrieve the machine gun that still had a small magazine of bullets left.

Jiang Ran was not going to hand over the machine gun so readily. Immediately, there was another corpse next to Zhang Cheng, which also served as a warning to those who thought that the young lady had a good temper and could take advantage of the situation.

Before long, only Jiang Ran and Yan Yan remained in the entire village.

Yan Yan's tender gaze remained fixed on the armored vehicle. No one knew how she had found the perfect angle to stare directly at Xiao Bai inside the vehicle.

Jiang Ran, completely oblivious to romance, tapped the still-smoking gun barrel and urged, "Skill card."

Yan Yan glared at Jiang Ran with some disdain: "Who do you think you are, daring to rush me? Ah Yang, hurry up and tell him to untie me, the rope is hurting me so much."

So the even more clueless newbie said, "Just loosen one hand so I can click on the game panel."

Yan Yan: ……

Urged by Jiang Ran, Zhao Yan reluctantly unbound the skill, but did not immediately hand the skill card to Jiang Ran.

Holding the skill card, she looked somewhat forlornly at the armored vehicle lane: "I know you look down on me for having worked with Zhang Cheng. Even if I tell you my reasons, you probably still won't understand."

"Perhaps we can't go back, so let's part ways here. I can give you the skill card, but let's make it a fair trade!"

Jiang Ran: ...

So annoying.

Seeing that "Lin Yang" had finally gotten out of the armored vehicle because of her words, Zhao Yan suppressed her joy and pride and took the initiative to hug him.

She tilted her head back, her eyes unfocused, and slowly reached for Xiaobai's mask. "Ayang, let me see you, I..."

"boom--"

Zhao Yan's smile froze, and she slowly collapsed.
