Just a magical girl who picks up trash

198. Don’t disturb my sleep!

Originally, as the acting mayor, Xiao Ya's job was actually very leisurely except for negotiating with those big shots. However, after Feng Qianxue and Cai Xiaolin left, these tasks were piled directly on her head. At first, she worked very hard, but as the city grew larger and the flow of people increased, Xiao Ya gradually became impatient!

In the end, he simply pushed the work to the hardworking Zeya, and started to slack off. However, Tong, who is now Xiao Ya's secretary, and Tianling, who regards Zeya, the new artificial intelligence, as her sister, could not stand it anymore... So the previous scene happened!

In fact, similar scenes have obviously happened more than once. Therefore, after a quarrel, Xiao Ya, who was unable to win the argument with the two of them, could only continue to work tirelessly. After finally finishing the matters at hand, she lay on the table lifeless like a burnt salted fish.

"From now on, unless Xiao Huan comes back, no one should disturb me, otherwise my fists won't have eyes!"

Raising her little fist viciously, Xiao Ya returned to her room like a ghost with a swaying body, while Tian Ling and Tong looked speechless. Then she closed the door with a bang.

"..."

"..."

The loud noise made the two of them look at each other at the same time. After a long while, Tian Ling asked Tong:

"So...about the news that Sister Yuanyuan and the others are coming back...should we tell the 'Mayor'?"

As he said this, Tong suddenly showed a smirk, and without thinking, he shook his head decisively:

"I don't think so. After all, the mayor is tired. Let her have a good rest. Didn't she just say that she would beat up anyone who disturbed her unless 'Xiao Huan' came back?"

Although Tianling had reconnected with Yuyuan three days ago and learned that he would be back today, according to Yuyuan, it seemed that Yuhuan would be back later due to certain things. Therefore, this time they were mainly going to pick up Yuyuan, Yu and the new friends they brought with them, so Yuhuan was not included.

"You're right, let her rest, and we'll go too!"

"it is good!"

Although they spoke these righteous words, the mischievous glint in their eyes could not be concealed no matter what.

"..."

The honest and conscientious Zeya just floated silently aside, with rays of data flashing through the peripheral lens like an electronic eye, and then she continued to work silently... What the mayor called completing the work was just completing today's workload, but in fact, during the few days when she was lazy, the accumulated work was far more than this, and Zeya needed to handle it silently!

Besides, as an artificial intelligence, she doesn't need to rest. After all, the purpose of her creation is to maintain the operation of the city and provide some necessary services to her master and his partners!

No matter whether it is Xiao Ya, Feng Qianxue, Cai Xiaolin, Tian Ling or others, they can all be regarded as the master's partners. Therefore, in her database, the permissions of these people are exactly the same. As for her master... it seems that for some reason, they have drifted into another world. Zeya has never seen each other since she was born!

……

"Is this where it is?"

She was wearing khaki special forces equipment, revealing only her beautiful face. Above her jade-like face, she wore a khaki hat with goggles, covering her long hair. Except for her face, there was basically no exposed skin on her body. However, even so, it was still difficult to conceal the girl's extraordinary temperament. She stopped in front of a ruin with only a broken wall exposed, frowned, looked down and said so.

"According to the direction calculated by Zeya, it should be right here!"

Another voice was heard, and it was clearly the same pleasant voice of a girl. However, when another figure appeared beside her, her appearance was completely different: a black leather coat was covered with red crystal armor, which looked as if a chest gem and four small limb gems were directly engraved on it, but it was decorated with some metal stripes to imitate the appearance of armor. The helmet on the face was also made of the same round ruby, but the silver-white metal lines ran through it, outlining the shape of eyes and jaw.

"Hula~~"

Amidst the rolling sand, the black cloaks on both sides of the palm-like belt fluttered. After the other party finished speaking, he took out a yellowish-brown gem from a chain inlaid with various gems on his waist, put it on his hand as a ring, and immediately pressed it on the handprint on the belt around his waist.

"Earth Shadow Clone~~"

A dull sound suddenly rang out from the belt, and the next second, a khaki magic circle appeared on the ground and then split into dozens of parts in an instant. The next second, khaki humanoid stone giants crawled out of it and stood in front of her in a neat row.

"Anyway, let's look for it first!"

As he said this, Cai Xiaolin beside him nodded slightly. The next second, the stone giants surrounding them began to move around as if they had been given a task.

They dug holes, dug the ground, and moved stones, gradually unearthing the ruins that had long been buried by sand and dust.

"By the way...is everything okay with Xiao Miao?"

Cai Xiaolin looked at Feng Qianxue, dressed as a Kamen Rider witch, who was directing the giants working below. Cai Xiaolin, whose body was also enveloped in a pale white magical light, looked at the tsunami-like rolling sand and dust in the distance with some concern and asked with a little worry. Feng Qianxue was not worried at all. While directing the stone giants below to continue digging, she glanced casually and said:

"It's okay, Xiao Miao has grown a lot this year and is not so weak anymore. Besides... Xiao Hei is following us too!"

That guy is the real freak. Although Feng Qianxue and others, as well as Xiao Ya, have undoubtedly grown a lot in strength and other aspects over the past year, especially after obtaining the power of the Ranger, they are still no match for Ning Xiaomo... This is when the other party has not transformed. Over time, everyone has gradually realized how perverted this black panther is, so Feng Qianxue is still very relieved about this!

"That's true, but..."

However, Feng Qianxue's reassurance was met with an even more worried response from Cai Xiaolin:

"But do you think, with Xiao Hei's personality...will he not help at all and let Xiao Miao deal with the beast tide over there alone?"

"..."

As soon as she finished speaking, there was a roar at the city gate, and Feng Qianxue lowered her head silently.

Damn, considering that guy's laziness and moral integrity...this is really very possible!

199. Beast Tide Blockade

After a year of getting along, the friends obviously knew what they should know about each other, and what they shouldn't know... they also gradually got to know each other under various circumstances. For example, Xiao Hei's deceitful character. Although Cai Xiaolin and Feng Qianxue didn't want to discredit their friend, they had to admit that their guesses were very... accurate!

"Oh oh oh, it's coming, it's coming!"

The tsunami-like sandstorms were not caused by any strong winds, but were the rolling sand and dust produced by the beast tides that often appeared in the ruins. This kind of thing has always been very common in the ruins, and it can be said to be a nightmare for many scavengers.

Of course, the beast tides are also divided into different sizes and strengths. For example, this batch is divided into strengths, types, numbers, etc. of the beasts. Xiao Hei took a quick look and instantly analyzed:

"It's about C-level in strength. Without a King-level monster appearing, it's the perfect opponent!"

After the four people arrived here, they predicted that the route of this beast tide was likely the place that Cai Xiaolin and Feng Qianxue needed to explore. Therefore, Xiao Hei and Xia Miao were responsible for blocking or annihilating it here. This was obviously not a difficult task for Xiao Hei, let alone a mere C-level beast tide. Even an A-level one was obviously not a difficult task for her. Therefore, Feng Qianxue and Cai Xiaolin were very relieved at the beginning.

Then, when Cai Xiaolin's question left Feng Qianxue speechless, Xiao Hei on the side... really did as the two had expected. After a flash of boredom flashed across his face, he immediately pushed Xia Miao beside him over and sat alone on a step of the balcony of the abandoned high-rise building. He smiled and said to Xia Miao:

"Alright, come on, it's time to test your training achievements over the past year!"

Such a statement was met with a huge eye roll from Xia Miao... She was just a weak character, and having been a slave before, she was a little timid and shy. However, these had obviously improved a lot since her sister disappeared a year ago, and with her own increased strength and experience over the past year, her brain was naturally not as easy to fool as before!

As for what Xiao Hei just said... Before when I was in Tianyu City, he had given me the task of eliminating the strange beasts around Tianyu City, which should have belonged to me, for the same reason more than once. Every time he said it was to hone himself, to test the results of his practice or something like that, but in fact... hehe!

Of course, he was clear-headed and naturally would not object to this 'teacher' who had taught him personally. Therefore, although he rolled his eyes a little, he still obediently jumped down from the building that had dozens of floors. Then, just when he was about to approach the ground, an invisible wind suddenly picked up the sand and dust on the ground and gently caught it. Then, with a slight flick of the black cat tail behind his nimble little body, the whole person was nimbly launched into the sky like a spring, and instantly turned into a black shadow and rushed towards the direction of the beast tide.

"Sister Tianling, please lend me your strength!"

Speeding across the sand, she watched the ferocious and gigantic figure of the strange beast getting closer and closer to her. A red and silver belt silently appeared in her hand. After silently reciting this in her mind, followed by a flash of data light, the emerald green memory block appeared directly in the slot on the left.

"Joker!"

A purple memory appeared on his left hand, and then Xia Miao inserted it into his right hand at the same time with a low electronic sound. He then held both sides of the belt with both hands and pulled hard. The upper half of the belt that was originally together instantly separated and became a W shape.

"Cyclone! Joker!"

"Whoo~~~"

The emerald green breeze looked extremely conspicuous in the endless yellow sand. In an instant, it turned into a green tornado that wrapped Xia Miao in it. Then, it was wrapped in fragments, and the next second, a knight who was half green and half black and purple appeared directly.

At the same moment when the transformation ended, Tian Ling, who had received the message from Xia Miao in the distant Tianyu City, opened his eyes and saw the beast tide in the rolling yellow sand. He immediately turned his head to look at Xiao Hei, who was leisurely eating potato chips on the high-rise building behind him, and finally sighed softly:

"Is Xiao Hei slacking off again?"

He had said before that fighting the monsters was too tiring and he wanted to go out for a walk, and he had promised to take good care of the three of them. But he behaved like this when he came out. Tian Ling said that she was very helpless about this.

"It's okay Sister Ling, I can handle it!"

In response to Tian Ling's unpleasant words, Xia Miao still spoke in a soft voice. She was more satisfied with her current life than anyone else, so she would never complain about anything, because she knew very well that everything she had now was what she had longed for in the past, so... contentment is the key to happiness!

"You..."

Xia Miao's good temper was actually the main reason why Xiao Hei was lazy. However, Tian Ling obviously couldn't scold the youngest sister in the group. In the end, he could only shake his head helplessly and gave Zeya a small instruction in his mind:

"I remember reporting that some of the exotic beast materials in the resource inventory seemed to be amiss, right?"

"Yes, Onee-sama!"

"That's perfect! I'll send the document to Xiao Hei and ask her to get it done within three days. Otherwise, forget about my pocket money this month!"

"Okay, sister, do you need me to send you the distribution map of exotic beasts?"

"No need for that, let him find it himself!"

"...Okay, Onee-sama!"

After finishing his conversation with Zeya, Tian Ling calmed down and turned his gaze towards the strange beast in front of him. W emphasizes cooperation and coordination between both parties. It is obvious that this is not the first time Tian Ling has cooperated with Xia Miao, so he spoke very familiarly:

"It's the same as before. You do the fighting and I'll do the calibration. If that doesn't work, I'll just replace the memory... Xiao Ya is slacking off right now, so you can go find her!"

Everyone had one memory card in the past, so it was very easy to change the operator, especially if it was Xiao Ya. Obviously, all these things in front of him were a piece of cake!

"I understand, Sister Ling!"

As he said this, Xia Miao clenched his fists and a trace of wind flashed under his feet. In an instant, he turned into a breeze and rushed towards the nearest strange beast in front of him.

"Boom~~"

200. Relics

"This is it..."

In the vast expanse of yellow sand, the beast tide on one side had apparently been stopped, and on this side, thanks to the efforts of Feng Qianxue's stone giant, a ruin that had been buried by the yellow sand, but with obvious traces, had been unearthed.

There are mysterious patterns carved in the ancient ruins. They are obviously some broken parts of broken arms, but they give people an inexplicable feeling of grandeur. Staring at the khaki pattern in front of you, you can vaguely see some black silk threads, which you don't know if they are illusions, slowly flowing in it, as if they have life.

"remains……"

The rusty excavation tools and long-obsolete testing equipment scattered around and also buried in the yellow sand proved that the ruins had been excavated not long ago. This was because the ruins were not buried too deep, and the yellow sand around them had been cleared away once, but was only recently filled back by the surrounding storms.

"This should be it. They disappeared here!"

According to the clue of the last signal source of Red Valley provided by the Scavengers' Alliance, the location of the ruins of Zeya, the two nodded to each other to confirm the clue, and then approached the ruins with vigilant eyes... The closer they got, the clearer the black lines in the pattern seemed. As long as they were not stupid, they would know that it was definitely not a dead object.

"..."

His eyes became more alert, and his footsteps stopped at some point. With the light magic and fire magic in his hands gathered at the same time, the two looked at the black light patterns slowly moving in front of them, their eyes full of vigilance and determination to take action at any time.

"..."

As if it didn't sense the two lives so close to it, the black lines just kept flowing around the surrounding patterns, as if it wanted to directly draw out the entire khaki pattern. It just swam quietly, neither hurried nor slow, even though everything around it had no effect on it.

This is not a solution... They just looked at the black lines vigilantly, and naturally they didn't dare to rush up and destroy it. Ruins like this are more or less mysterious, and no one knows what the consequences may be if they act rashly. More importantly... Cai Xiaolin and Feng Qianxue used the biological reaction device equipped by the Patient Alliance to Honggu and the other two to detect that the three were still alive. And since the three disappeared here, it is very likely that... they are inside!

Naturally, the two of them did not dare to launch an attack rashly, so they could only temporarily stalemate here. After a while, two voices were heard from the source. From a long distance, Xiao Hei's anxious voice could be heard:

"That's why I told you that I was training Xiao Miao at the time, so that she could master her own fighting methods as soon as possible. I really didn't mean to be lazy!"

Such words of defense were not spoken to the shy loli with a pair of cats on her head, a small tail moving behind her, and wearing a pink and white princess dress, but to a light blue light curtain unfolding beside her.

"Don't give me that! Don't you think I don't know what kind of person you are? This is your punishment for being lazy!"

The words without any room for maneuver came out from the mouth of Tian Ling in the light curtain. The words with a hint of atmosphere immediately made Xiao Hei anxious:

"But there are too many of these beasts, aren't there? How can we possibly get them all in three days? More importantly... could you at least give me a distribution map? Do you want me to search for them one by one?"

Throwing a tantrum was useless, and finally Xiao Hei had no choice but to make other requests. While speaking, his big eyes sparkled as he looked at the light screen in front of him, trying to use this look to soften the other party's heart.

As a cute little girl with an unknown age and strength, but a tender face, Xiao Hei had clearly mastered this move to perfection. Therefore, even Tian Ling, an artificial intelligence, felt somewhat overwhelmed by it once it was unleashed. Finally, after a long pause, he could only nod helplessly.

"I can give you the distribution map, and you can handle the rest yourself. Of course, if you fail to complete it, the punishment will still be the same!"

I still couldn't help but soften my heart!

"make a deal!"

Dealing with strange beasts has never been a difficult task. The difficult part is looking for those slippery guys everywhere. With the distribution map, this is obviously a piece of cake for Xiao Hei. At most, he will be a little tired and have to run more. There is no need to worry at all!

"How's it going here?"

After they had reached an agreement with Tian Ling, the two of them came directly to Cai Xiaolin and the others and asked Cai Xiaolin something. Cai Xiaolin shook her head slightly and looked at the black liquid that had spread over most of the ruins. She immediately told them everything she had seen.

After he finished speaking, Xiao Hei here immediately fell into deep thought. After a long time, he raised his head and looked at the thing that was still spreading as if no one was around. Suddenly, he stretched out his hand, and a shadow arrow suddenly shot out and hit the stone wall of the ruins in front of him.

"what are you doing?!"

Xiao Hei's move was so sudden that no one reacted. It was not until the smoke and dust of the explosion came from not far away that Cai Xiaolin turned around and looked at Xiao Hei. There was no anger on her face, but she asked with some confusion:

"Did you discover anything?"

Xiao Hei only looks childish and a little naughty, but in fact, she would never act rashly. As a perpetually legal loli, she has a calmer mind and sharper perception than anyone else. She spoke out so suddenly at this moment, obviously because she discovered something.

"No~ Coming!"

In response to Cai Xiaolin's answer, Xiao Hei gave a surprising answer. Then, when everyone turned their heads to look at the ruins wall behind them, they were shocked to find that the originally yellowish stone had turned directly into pitch black.

It was as if the liquid that was originally flowing in a small pipe along a specific route suddenly broke through the pipe and rushed out. The black liquid that was originally describing something in an orderly manner instantly rushed out under Xiao Hei's attack. In just a few minutes, the originally yellowish stone was swallowed up and turned into a pitch-black color. An ominous aura emanated from it, and the next second, countless pitch-black silk threads rushed directly towards the women in front of him without any warning.

"Prepare for battle, these things...are not easy to deal with!"

Of course, they are even more difficult to deal with!
