The barrage was sent by Excavation Princess herself.
She truly had no joy or sorrow left; if one word could describe her mood, it would be "numb."
At this moment, no one understood the feeling of being caught between ice and fire better than her.
Not long ago, she was still thinking about how to curry favor with Lily to achieve a win-win situation, still fantasizing about the day she would truly become a big UP in the gaming world, but before she could rejoice for long, both Lily's fate and her own came to a turning point, one that spiraled downwards.
What a complete disaster!
Excavation Princess was on the verge of tears.
What else could she do? She could only sit on the ground, like the other players, staring blankly at the receding pickup truck.
She wondered, what were the feelings of those who watched Jing Ke depart at Yishui?
"Is this the final farewell?"
"Perhaps, Sister Lily still has a one in ten thousand chance of surviving?"
"You only dare to say one in ten thousand when making a hypothesis, doesn't that mean you actually think there's no hope at all?"
"Damn it, the plot planner is really damn it!"
"Mom, I hate sad endings, even this kind of self-sacrificing, world-saving sad ending."
"Actually, a sad ending can make the plot more brilliant if done well, it's just that this one came too suddenly and too quickly; Lily's storyline seemed to have just begun."
Yes, it came too fast, just like the pickup truck Lily was driving at that moment, so fast that everyone couldn't react.
In the temporary live stream opened by Patrick Star, Lily, sitting in the driver's seat, only showed a cold profile of her face; her hands firmly gripped the steering wheel, and she floored the accelerator.
No one knew when the passage in the insect tide would disappear, so there was only one thing she needed to do now—
Accelerate, accelerate madly!
Road sign blocking the way? Ram it!
Fence blocking the way? Ram it!
Mutated insects blocking the way? Ram them, too!
In just over ten seconds, the pickup truck burst out of the settlement, like a straight javelin piercing directly into the gap in the insect tide.
This huge commotion attracted the attention of the mutated insects that were frantically chasing players; they immediately changed targets and swarmed towards the pickup truck like a tide.
"Shoot, shoot quickly!"
Patrick Star shouted, directing the players who had boarded the pickup truck with him; their guns were given to them by Lily from Shino.
For a moment, dust flew beneath the wheels, and gunfire spewed from the cabin.
However, the number of insects was simply too great; a few scattered shots couldn't change the situation at all, and seeing the path of the pickup truck about to be blocked, the hearts of those watching this scene from afar all tensed up.
If there were only one or two mutated insects blocking the road, the pickup truck could easily run them over, but if the number of mutated insects reached dozens, scores, or even hundreds, the pickup truck's horsepower would absolutely not be able to break through.
And once the pickup truck stopped, the people on it would be surrounded by countless mutated insects.
"Death."
This word suddenly popped out.
The hearts of the onlookers were like the high-speed engine of the pickup truck, almost leaping out of their chests.
But before they could express their thoughts, the wildly surging mutated insects seemed to have fallen into a time-stop field, all frozen in place.
"What happened?"
"Did it glitch?"
"How could it be a bu... Holy cow, look!"
Boom boom boom!
A roar exploded in the cold night, and the next second, the pickup truck, like a fierce beast, fiercely smashed through the insect tide blocking its path, and after rushing over a slope, it flew into the wilderness.
Flew... flew up?
Even Patrick Star and the others sitting in the car were stunned, until the pickup truck landed, crushing a mutated insect, and blood splattered on the windows, did they react.
"We broke through, haha, we broke through!"
The players in the car, the players watching the live stream, and Yago and Shino all cheered loudly.
"How did she do it? Why did those mutated insects suddenly stop moving?"
"I know! Look at the item Sister Lily just took out, it's exactly the same as the one Number Seven used when attacking us!"
Everyone's gaze focused on the spherical device that Lily had just pulled out of her pocket.
"[Psionic Restrainer]: Uses a psionic shock to make targets within a 20-meter radius enter a rigid state (1 use remaining)."
