Steam Era: The Lord of 'Puluo'

Chapter 838 - 502: Dark Star Bureau_4

It’s still safer to drive.

Who can drive?

Actually, driving is just controlling a machine, it’s not difficult for someone who understands Craftsmanship Method.

Li Banfeng returned to the Portable Residence: "Old Man, I want to take my wife out for a spin."

The Portable Residence snorted: "In the middle of the night, what are you going out for? You’re not allowed to go!"

"The night scenery in the Outside Provinces is quite nice, taking my wife to see something new." As he spoke, Li Banfeng took out a Little Train, turned on the switch, and placed it on the ground, letting it run.

The train sneered: "What is this thing? You’re using this to deal with me?"

Li Banfeng then took out another Little Train, and the two trains raced around in the Portable Residence.

The Portable Residence sighed: "Ah Qi, it’s enough that we laugh and mess around usually, but you can’t take such things as a joke. Put away these broken things, I don’t want to see them even for a second."

Li Banfeng took out a third train.

Woo-hoo!

All three trains whistled together.

The Portable Residence angrily said: "Ah Qi, what do you want me to say? Do you really take me for a baby?"

Two minutes later, Li Banfeng carried a Phonograph out of the Portable Residence.

The Phonograph glanced around Li Banfeng’s dwelling: "Hey husband, the houses in the Outside Provinces don’t differ much from those in Puluo State."

"They’re very different, this one doesn’t even have a yard, and the price is ridiculously high."

Li Banfeng was about to go out with the Phonograph on his back when the Projector reminded: "Seventh Guide, there are my kind outside."

There are cameras in the corridor, cameras in the elevator, cameras all the way to the parking lot, and even cameras inside Li Banfeng’s car.

The Projector turned these kind into friends, followed Li Banfeng and got into the car together.

The Phonograph sat in the driver’s seat, studied for a few minutes, and said to Li Banfeng: "Husband, the machinery in the Outside Provinces is quite different from Puluo State, Little Servant doesn’t feel confident."

Li Banfeng sat in the passenger seat and encouraged the Phonograph: "Beloved wife, you are clever and skilled, a mere car is easy to handle."

The Phonograph used the needle to start the car, one needle controlled the gear lever, one needle controlled the accelerator and brake, the remaining needle controlled the steering wheel.

The Projector created an illusion in the back seat, hiding the Phonograph and placing Li Banfeng in the driver’s seat, so passersby wouldn’t notice anything unusual.

"Husband, Little Servant is going to drive..." The Phonograph was very nervous.

"Let’s go wife, it’s not hard at all."

"Husband, Little Servant is driving very slowly."

"It’s okay, if we really can’t make it in time, I’ll run there."

In less than ten minutes of driving, the Phonograph was no longer nervous.

"Husband, this thing is more interesting than the train, you don’t have to run along the iron tracks!"

"Yes, wife can run as she wishes!"

"Husband, there are no people ahead on the road, Little Servant will drive faster!"

"Wife can drive as fast as she likes."

...

Baiyuan District, Qingzhou Road, Garden Community.

Although it’s called a community, there’s only one apartment building.

This apartment building was set to be demolished long ago, only five families haven’t moved out, totaling about ten people, who are all trapped inside the building tonight.

At the entrance of the hallway, stands a bundle of Cooling Mat.

Next to the Cooling Mat lies Ming Xing, Sun Haoran.

Dumpling drove over, and a warning line was set up around the community. Seeing Ming Xing lying on the ground, Dumpling was about to go up and rescue, but was stopped by Light Bulb.

Dumpling frowned: "Why are you stopping me?"

Light Bulb said: "Don’t underestimate this bundle of Cooling Mat, it’s extremely fast, we can’t get close."

Dumpling asked: "Did you make a move?"

Light Bulb nodded: "Ming Xing and I were the first to arrive, originally planning to wait for reinforcements, but some residents started running out of the building, on the verge of being killed by the Cooling Mat, Ming Xing and I decided to act first.

This Cooling Mat is not afraid of bullets, I estimate the best way to deal with it is with fire, I planned to spray oil on the Cooling Mat first, then have Ming Xing set it on fire. But I sprayed the oil, yet Ming Xing couldn’t ignite the fire, and got knocked over by the Cooling Mat."

Dumpling looked at Ming Xing and asked: "Is Ming Xing still alive?"

Ming Xing heard Dumpling’s voice, opened his eyes, and moved them slightly, indicating that he was still alive.

Light Bulb told Dumpling: "Based on my observation, outside the ten-meter range of this Cooling Mat, it won’t actively attack. Enter within the ten-meter range, as long as you lie down pretending to be dead, it won’t actively attack.

If you’re within the ten-meter range and move around, it will attack until it kills the person. Before we arrived, an old lady was killed in the hallway. The residents saw the corpse and called the police, which is why we came here.

Now the residents are very unstable emotionally, it seems there are other things in this building, they might rush out again. What we can do now is maintain order at the scene, prevent irrelevant people from approaching the building, and then wait for reinforcements..."

Light Bulb’s voice grew quieter.

Squeak, squeak.

The Cooling Mat started walking towards Light Bulb and Dumpling.

Dumpling said: "Didn’t you say that outside the ten-meter range, the Cooling Mat won’t actively attack?"

Light Bulb nodded and said: "From my observation angle, it seems that way."

The Cooling Mat came closer and closer. Dumpling prepared to use his Technique. Light Bulb reminded him: "What Technique are you planning to use, the Searching Ink Technique? That move doesn’t distinguish between enemy and friend, Ming Xing is still lying there, don’t mess him up."

As the words fell, the Cooling Mat swung over, attacking Light Bulb.

Light Bulb reacted quickly, sliding his foot to dodge the Cooling Mat’s strike.

The Cooling Mat turned to attack Dumpling, Dumpling couldn’t avoid it.

Just as the Cooling Mat swept towards Dumpling’s face, there was a sudden muffled sound, and the Cooling Mat flew off to the distance.

Dumpling did not understand why the Cooling Mat flew away, Light Bulb also didn’t know the reason.

Seeing the Cooling Mat now over thirty meters away, Light Bulb quickly rushed up and helped Ming Xing up.

Injured Ming Xing hadn’t stood steady yet when the Cooling Mat charged back.

Light Bulb tried to flee with Ming Xing, but the Cooling Mat was much faster, swinging at the back of both their heads.

Bam!

Another muffled sound.

The Cooling Mat was sent flying again.

Dumpling looked around and realized it wasn’t an accident; someone was saving them.

A person stood on the rain awning of the hallway.

Dumpling’s eyes lit up: "Seventh Master!"

Light Bulb was happy inside: "It’s really the Seventh Master."

Ming Xing didn’t understand: "What master?"

Li Banfeng looked at the Cooling Mat and said: "Keep attacking, it’s coming back again."

PS: Li Banfeng changed his view of Light Bulb, among the three people, he counts as top-tier fighting power.
