Our neighborhood has been transported again.

Chapter 183 Familiarity
If we exclude coincidences, it is unlikely that two identical place names would appear at the same time.

Li Tieshan may have come from the same place as this family.

Qin Ziwu sighed, "Then aren't we standing on a home that once existed?"

He felt a pang of sadness; the feeling was hard to describe, a sense of disorientation.

Upon learning that this place had once been a home, the group became interested and embarked on a thorough looting spree.

Unfortunately, perhaps due to the passage of time, most of the things left here have become unusable.

Even some places that were originally card-themed buildings have long been abandoned.

Perhaps the death of the home's occupant caused these buildings to lose their original magical power, gradually weathering and decaying under the weight of time.

While everyone was searching, Qin Ziwen sent the eagle home and brought Li Tieshan back.

This small town is not large, and half of it is buried under sand.

The group searched the entire town but found nothing of value.

Afterwards, they dragged the carcass of the desert raptor to the edge of the dune.

Find a narrow corridor located between two houses.

It is placed inside and used as fish bait.

Then, the two crossbows on the vehicles were placed aside and aimed at the location of the desert rogue's corpse.

They wait for the fish to bite before firing the crossbow bolt.

After a long while, the sand dunes rolled, and a giant desert worm slowly poked its head out.

Its exposed upper body swayed slightly in the air, as if trying to discern the source of the bloody smell.

Finally, it confirmed the location.

Wandering slowly forward
"Boom!"

"Boom!"

Two long crossbows, one on the left and one on the right, struck its head almost simultaneously.

After dissecting one, Cao Biansheng and Qin Ziwu both learned the location of the vital organs of the desert giant worm.

The giant desert worm trembled after being hit.

Trembling violently.

It shrank its body, trying to hide back in the sand dune.

But the terrain prevented it from turning around, and its thick head slammed into the wall beside it with a loud thud.

Large swaths of sand and dust flew.

"shoot!"

Two more crossbows were fired.

The body of the giant desert worm was hit.

Its movements became increasingly violent, and finally, as if in a final burst of energy, its body trembled violently.

It taut forward, then suddenly drops.

"Bang~"

Its massive body crashed to the ground.

Qin Ziwen raised his hand and made a gesture to stop him.

He just stood there quietly watching the fallen desert giant worm.

This guy is still playing dead.

The fact that no cards fell from its body indicates that it has not completely died.

But he wasn't in a hurry; if it wanted to play dead, he'd let it continue.

Because Qin Ziwu and Cao Biansheng had also loaded their equipment—but they loaded crossbows.

When shooting at stationary targets, the hit rate is significantly higher.

The two adjusted their aim for a while, and then fired two arrows.

In an instant, a large amount of white light burst out from the desert giant worm.

This giant desert worm survived six massive crossbow bolts before dying; it was practically a legendary tank. It dropped three cards, but Qin Ziwen only took two, giving one to Cao Biansheng.

"Ah, me?" Cao Biansheng was somewhat surprised.

"Hmm, you've been doing well lately," Qin Ziwen said calmly. "Just take it when I tell you to."

"Alright." Cao Biansheng no longer stood on ceremony.

The other two cards Qin Ziwen received were [Enhancement Card] Animal Physique Enhancement Card (One Star) and [Building Card] Level 1 Farmland.

He planned to give the animal enhancement card to Red Hare.

The stronger the horse, the faster it runs.

It's okay if you can't beat them, as long as you can outrun them.

"Wow~"

The harpy eagle flew back.

Red Hare carried Li Tieshan closer.

As they drew nearer, Red Hare snorted, and Li Tieshan quickly dismounted.

He clasped his hands in a fist salute, "My lord!"

However, when addressing someone as "sir," Li Tieshan's eyes would unconsciously dart around, his gaze somewhat unfocused.

"Follow me." Qin Ziwen led Li Tieshan deeper into the area.

Arriving at the stone tablet, Qin Ziwen pointed to it.

"Do you recognize the words on this? This used to be a Yangzhou ironworks, the same place as your hometown."

Li Tieshan squinted and looked carefully. After a while, he shook his head. "Sir, I can't remember, but this place does feel familiar to me, like I've been here a long time ago."

After a pause, Li Tieshan turned to look at a certain spot and said, "I don't know why the iron workshop is here. I only have memories of Yangzhou City. My home seems to be over there."

Li Tieshan pointed eastward to the area buried by sand dunes.

He felt a little regretful, and at the same time, he found it strange that the home he remembered was here.

While Li Tieshan was still wondering, Qin Ziwen thought of a possibility.

“I always thought that recruitment cards were for people with identities like Du Yu and Liu San, but now it seems that this is not the case. You may have another identity.”

But this guess is too bold.

Qin Ziwen dared not make a definitive conclusion unless he could find more corroborating evidence.

However, even if what he guessed was true, those who were recruited and revived would forever lose the right to touch the cards and would never be able to become the masters of the homeland again.

The group returned to the residential area, and soon after they arrived, Luo Gang sent someone with both good and bad news.

The good news is that they found a target that met Du Yu's hunting standards.

The bad news is, this target is a bit too much.

"We've discovered traces of a Tarbosaurus. It must have migrated from the north. It's wreaking havoc in the canyons to the east, and any slightly larger beasts are suffering. It's enormous, even longer than a giant desert worm, and its body is all muscle, completely different from the skinny, dog-like physique of a Velociraptor."

Luo Gang offered a friendly reminder: "Don't go to the eastern canyon for now. This Tyrannosaurus Rex's destination should be a more distant oasis. There's no water here, so it should leave soon."

Qin Ziwen pondered whether a vehicle-mounted crossbow could kill a Tyrannosaurus Rex.

There should be a chance.

But the Tyrannosaurus Rex is different from the desert giant worm. It moves faster and can charge over quickly. Moreover, given its large size and high speed, its muscles must be very hard.

To kill it, you would need at least six carts equipped with crossbows to fire multiple shots simultaneously.

"You're not thinking about how to deal with it, are you?" Luo Gang noticed Qin Ziwen was deep in thought.

"You don't want to?" Qin Ziwen asked back.

“Killing it would complete a level two mission immediately, who wouldn’t want that?” Luo Gang laughed. “But it’s not the right time yet, we need more vehicle-mounted crossbows.”

Qin Ziwen nodded: "I will urge them to speed up the process as much as possible. By the way, we have already killed two of the desert giant worms. We only need one more to complete the level two ladder mission. If you have any clues, please let me know as soon as possible."

Luo Gang was impressed by Qin Ziwen's efficiency; it had only been two days since the task was completed, and a level-two task was already finished.

"Okay, I'll send more people to search for more traces of the worm."
