62 Chapter - You Have To Go In Person
Bai Cheng lay naked on the bed, wearing nothing but two thin pieces of cloth.
She shivered all over and immediately exhaled a puff of white air.
The warming stove seemed to only reduce the effects of the snow mountain's cold erosion; in reality, it didn't significantly increase the temperature inside the carriage.
Bai Cheng quickly got up, grabbed the clothes beside her, and rapidly put them on.
Fortunately, her physique was strong enough now, so she didn't catch a cold from the freezing temperatures.
Opening the carriage door, Akane and Zi Yuan seemed to have been waiting in the front of the train for a long time.
She looked at the train, which had already stopped, and couldn't help but ask, "Are we there?"
"Miss, when the train stopped, your subordinate had already checked the surroundings," Akane explained, then paused and added, "It's just... there's no mission location or anomaly around, as you described."
Bai Cheng was stunned; she looked at the Loot Altar again to confirm.
"Line Guidance: You have arrived at the mission area."
Looking out the window again, surrounded by mountains and a vast expanse of white, it was indeed as Akane said: there was nothing.
"Damn it, what kind of rubbish is this!" Bai Cheng couldn't help but curse.
Apparently, she needed to find this mission location herself, and the altar only provided a rough, vague position.
"Akane, have you checked further away?" she asked ★ 𝐍𝐨𝐯𝐞𝐥𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭 ★ again.
Akane immediately replied, "Your subordinate hasn't had time to check yet."
"You..." Bai Cheng's words just came out when she suddenly froze.
Because as she had just turned around, she clearly felt a warmth coming from her little finger.
Bai Cheng raised her hand to look at the Exploration Ring, only to find it was faintly flickering with blue light.
"This is..."
Bai Cheng tried shaking her body again, and the blue light on the ring began to fade until it completely disappeared.
She immediately understood the function of this item: it was telling her the direction of supplies by emitting light and heat.
"Can this thing find the Loot mission location?"
Bai Cheng wasn't sure, but she decided to give it a try.
"Akane, this time, put it on and try to find it."
Bai Cheng briefly explained the use of the ring to him, then took it off and handed it over.
However, Akane looked embarrassed at this moment; he didn't speak but quietly raised his finger as if to gesture.
With a body nearly two meters tall and covered in muscle, even Akane's smallest finger, his pinky, was almost as thick as half of Bai Cheng's arm.
Her mouth twitched: "Alright, it really is a stretch for you to wear this..."
And the Exploration Ring had to be worn to function, so Bai Cheng could only look at Zi Yuan, whose body type and figure were quite similar to her own.
"The mission location is said to be a cave," Bai Cheng looked at the not-too-distant mountains around her, "I imagine it should be easy to find."
"Miss, I will find it as quickly as possible," Zi Yuan promised, patting her chest.
After a few days of getting along, she was no longer as reserved and aloof as she had been initially.
Of course, only towards Bai Cheng.
"Be careful, I'll wait for you to come back for dinner," Bai Cheng patted her shoulder.
Zi Yuan turned and stepped into the snowy landscape, while Akane continued to silently guard the train.
At this time, Bai Cheng also came to the screen and saw the six blue employee cards scattered quietly on the control panel.
"Pioneer Tang Yan traded your wolf head cape * 1, obtaining Blue Employee Card * 2!"
"Pioneer Tang Yan traded your..."
"Pioneer Tang Yan..."
Her face lit up with joy; she hadn't expected the cape to sell so quickly.
But then her eyes narrowed: "Tang Yan bought three capes at once?"
Bai Cheng checked the six employee cards in her hand and found that there were indeed duplicates among them, which meant that Tang Yan was still helping his teammates trade while also not wanting to expose their identities.
Bai Cheng raised an eyebrow: "Oh, who cares who your teammates are?"
While waiting for Zi Yuan to return, she also began preparing dinner.
With the cooking pot, Bai Cheng could make a warm pot of stewed meat, no longer having to eat tough roasted meat.
Meanwhile, on the other side, inside the Station of the Snow Mountain Castle, four trains slowly entered.
Tang Yan was the first to step into the hall, and upon hearing the consecutive opening sounds beside him, he immediately warned, "There's a Phantom in the first-floor hall; everyone, do not make any light!"
"Phantom? What's that? Can't all of us employees just fight it directly?"
A slightly questioning voice echoed in the darkness, which immediately displeased Tang Yan.
Although he had never heard the other person's voice before, the questioning tone upon speaking immediately made him recognize the person.
"Xiao Ran, if you want to die, I won't stop you!" He spoke impolitely, because he knew that even all the people present combined would never be a match for this Phantom.
And as the guardian of Second Station, an almost invincible non-existent being, it naturally had great limitations.
But Tang Yan happened to know all its killing rules.
At this moment, two soft small hands grabbed his arms, one on the left and one on the right, and a pair of sisters' sweet voices rang in his ears.
"Brother Tang, let's go quickly, don't mind him."
"Exactly, it's terrifying here, Big Brother Tang, you must protect us."
Hearing their words, Tang Yan's mood finally brightened.
Soon, the group of four, along with a few employees, successfully arrived on the second floor, but no one noticed that in the darkness, Tang Yan quietly picked up a hammer from the ground as he passed the Phantom.
As the wall lamps were lit, the dim yellow firelight immediately dispersed some of the darkness, revealing the four people's varied expressions: nervous, vigilant, joyful, and so on.
At this moment, Tang Yan was stunned, and then he suddenly realized.
He looked at the charming twin sisters clinging to him, and Xiao Ran, who was like a curious baby, and he immediately asked in surprise, "Where's Lin Qiuyue? She didn't enter the Station?!"
Xiao Ran heard this and immediately turned back with a sneer, "Heh, she didn't trick you, did she? Is this the teammate you swore by?"
Tang Yan frowned deeply, not speaking.
But the truth was clearly before his eyes.
The two sisters beside him, seeing his expression change, glared at Xiao Ran and immediately offered comfort.
"Hmph, Big Brother Tang, look at that guy, he's fat and big-eared; he clearly isn't anything good!"
"Exactly, Big Brother Tang, don't be angry, we're enough, what do we need her for?"
Tang Yan clenched his fists tightly, enraged.
"I just gave her a wolf head cape, and she dares to play me!"
Tang Yan's eyes were full of anger at this moment, but after a moment, he suddenly sneered, "Hmph, Pioneers will meet sooner or later; when that happens, I will kill you!"
Only Xiao Ran looked confused: "wolf head cape? What's that?"
"The next Station is the Snow Mountain..."
But the younger sister hadn't finished speaking when her older sister glared at her, and she quickly shut up.
Because both of them had also received wolf head capes from Tang Yan, and Xiao Ran, this idiot, was still completely unaware of it.
......
Nearly an hour passed, and Bai Cheng had already prepared a delicious pot of stewed meat.
By this time, it was completely dark, and the wind and snow raged again.
Zi Yuan, stepping on the accumulated snow and facing the strong wind, her figure appeared in the darkness.
Before she could even board the train, Bai Cheng, seeing her, immediately asked joyfully, "Zi Yuan, how is it?"
"Miss, the cave entrance has a seal; you have to go yourself."
