Quick Transmigration Cannon Fodder's Record of Counterattacks

Chapter 3158: Let’s Hug and Cry for a Bit

If they killed the monsters in a normal way—without using advanced weaponry, the monsters would already contain finger-sized baby monsters.

These monsters were pretty much multiplying endlessly.

Ning Shu took down a washbasin-sized monster and said to Wen Xing, “I wonder what kind of weapons the armed forces are using. Killing these things isn’t enough; it only leads to more of them.”

“…” Wen Xing didn’t know how to respond.

Ning Shu was beginning to suspect that they might be stuck in this task world, fated to endlessly fight these creatures until the end of time. She also feared the monsters had already spread. Given their activity in the sewers, they could easily reach the ocean and drift to other areas.

Ning Shu wiped her face with her hand. She didn’t dare to dwell on the thought any longer.

Wen Xing also looked troubled. If he failed this task, that’d mean that he’d have wasted a privilege ticket for nothing. The faith points that he’d spent would also all go to waste.

He considered using explosives, but that would be like using a cannon to kill mosquitoes—ineffective and wasteful at the same time.

They could only rely on manpower to eliminate the monsters…

“Come on. Let’s hug and cry for a bit, then continue slaying these monsters,” Wen Xing said helplessly.

Ning Shu: …

“I think we should call for reinforcements. The two of us can’t handle this alone,” Ning Shu suggested.

“My system has already reported the situation. We’ll just have to wait,” Wen Xing said while he wiped the sweat from his forehead.

To Ning Shu, Wen Xing’s system sounded like a very cute and dependable system.

She thought about her own system, which was always more dead than alive.

2333 always retreated into its shell like a turtle whenever things took a turn for the worse. Ha. Ha.

2333 chimed in, saying, “I also reported it, but I’m a little nervous…”

Ning Shu: “… What are you feeling nervous about?”

“Well, I helped you redeem the fake death pill before, brought you to the ordinance sea, I even helped transfer the soul pearl…” 2333 listed.

“I don’t remember any of that,” Ning Shu rolled her eyes and said. “You took me to the ordinance sea because you wanted my primal chaos stone.”

2333: “…”

What a grudge-holder.

“So, you’re avoiding drawing attention because you’re afraid of being held accountable?”

“Yeah.”

Ning Shu: …

She would end up being accountable for all these things, and she had a gut feeling that 2333 was still hiding something from her.

“I suggest you don’t do anything reckless behind my back,” Ning Shu said sternly. “I haven’t constructed my world yet, so it’s possible I could be eliminated, permanently.”

“I didn’t do anything! What could I possibly do? And even if I do something reckless, it’d be to help you,” 2333 insisted.

Ning Shu’s face remained expressionless. “You’re using me as an excuse again. I feel like you’re trying to pin the blame on me.”

She was determined not to become a scapegoat!

“You’re being too sensitive. We’re in this together. Betraying you would be like betraying myself. I wouldn’t do something that hurts both of us.”

Ning Shu shook her head. “No, but you might do something that hurts me and benefits yourself.”

After a pause, 2333 replied, “I’ll say it again: we’re in this together.”

As Ning Shu walked in silence, Wen Xing noticed her troubled expression and stopped.

“I’ll carry the kit for a while,” he offered.

Ning Shu’s shoulders were aching badly. Her clothes were sticking to her wounds, and every movement hurt. She handed over the medical kit to Xing.

“What’s wrong?” Wen Xing noticed the tense atmosphere and asked. He’d never seen this side of her before.

Ning Shu looked at Wen Xing and thought for a moment before asking, “Do you think systems would ever betray their task-takers?”
