The apocalypse is coming, but thankfully I have a harem of paper dolls.

Therefore, Luo Jiajun immediately made arrangements.

"Rosemon, Eevee, and Annerose, the three of you stay here at the alley entrance and guard it. Do not make any moves without my orders."

"2b, come with me."

As Luo Jiajun was speaking, he had just taken a step when he heard Anne-Loz ask from behind, "Is something wrong? Why don't you let them come along?"

Luo Jiajun turned around, his gaze falling on Anne-Loz's face, and said expressionlessly:

"I am the captain of this team, your master. After I give the order, you just need to carry it out and don't ask why."

Perhaps because Luo Jiajun had been too easygoing before, Anne-Loz was quite taken aback when he suddenly became serious, and she was stunned for a moment.

Looking at Luo Jiajun's expressionless face, she couldn't help but swallow hard and subconsciously nodded, "Okay... alright then."

After Luo Jiajun nodded slightly and turned around again, leading 2B into the misty alley, Annie Rose finally came to her senses as she watched Luo Jiajun's back. Her tender lips unconsciously pouted, and a hint of resentment flashed in her eyes.

Hmph~ What's so great about that!

Once she returns to normal and regains her strength, she must let Luo Jiajun know that she is actually super powerful and super fierce!

the other side.

Luo Jiajun and 2B remained vigilant as they slowly made their way deeper into the alley. Their figures, shrouded in mist, had by then disappeared from Anne-Loz's sight at the alley entrance.

As they went deeper, Luo Jiajun and 2b also discovered the source of the purple light in the fog.

That was a...

Crack!

A rift suspended in mid-air in the alley! It was about two meters long, but its overall shape was irregular, with the widest part only half a meter wide. The rift was filled with purple light, and the purple light that shone was so gorgeous, yet it inexplicably gave Luo Jiajun a sense of danger.

"2b, can you tell what this is?" Luo Jiajun whispered.

2b was silent for a moment, seemingly analyzing the situation.

But in the end, he just shook his head and told Luo Jiajun that he had no clue.

Looking at the rift in the void that was radiating purple light, Luo Jiajun had a guess and slowly said, "Judging from the visual appearance alone, 2b, do you think this could be a spatial rift?"

If this really is a spatial rift, it might explain the origin of the monsters in the mist—although the spatial rift in front of us doesn't seem to be large enough for the pterosaurs we encountered before to pass through.

“Perhaps we can test the waters.” 2b said to Luo Jiajun as she used her greatsword to cut off the fungus growing along the wall in the alley.

She used her sword to pick at the cut fungus, then threw it into the purple-glowing crevice in the air in front of her.

As a result, the scarlet umbrella-shaped fungus fell to the ground as if it had hit a wall when it touched the crack.

"Hmm? Did I guess wrong?" Luo Jiajun frowned.

Then, before he could think further, his perception, far beyond that of ordinary people, made Luo Jiajun's ears twitch, and he immediately turned his gaze to the deeper part of the alley.

"Something's not right, there's something in the fog ahead," Luo Jiajun whispered to 2B. (The rest of the text appears to be unrelated and possibly machine-generated gibberish.)

At the same time, Ye Yibu's slightly hurried calls came from behind them, as if they had encountered some trouble at the alley entrance. However, due to the fog, Luo Jiajun could not see Ye Yibu and the others' current situation clearly when he turned around.

The good news is that Luo Jiajun checked the game map again and found no "high-value target," which is the boss, on his face.

So even if there are enemies, they should be easy to deal with.

Just to be on the safe side, Luo Jiajun planned to tell 2B to go back and meet up with Ye Yibu and the others first. However, before Luo Jiajun could even speak...

"Roar--!"

From the deeper fog in the alley, suddenly a series of burly figures rushed out, panting heavily.

The swirling mist deep in the alley was torn apart by heavy footsteps and savage roars, and several imposing figures suddenly burst out.

They had humanoid outlines, but their bodies were covered in thick brown fur, their muscles were bulging, their faces were ferocious, and their fangs protruded. They wielded crude but deadly maces and short-handled axes, and their murky eyes gleamed with bloodlust and greed.

"Roar--!"

A foul stench filled the air, and the monster's roar echoed through the narrow alleyways, making one's eardrums tingle.

Faced with this sudden attack, 2B remained silent, simply gripping her greatsword and charging forward at an incredible speed, catching the attacking monsters completely off guard.

"Shh-!"

The cold glint of the blade flashed in the deep alley.

"Hey!"

The blade sliced ​​into the neck of the nearest monster without any resistance, and a grotesque, disheveled head flew high into the air, scalding blood splattering onto the mottled walls on both sides.

2B's movements were incredibly fluid, her steps never faltering. She twisted her waist and spun around, the heavy katana in her hand seemingly weightless, drawing a deadly arc.

"Pfft! Pfft!"

Two more heads flew off their bodies with a dull thud as a sharp blade sliced ​​through flesh. The headless corpses crashed to the ground, the pungent stench of blood instantly drowning out the putrid smell and damp chill of the alleyway.

The instant 2B made her move, Luo Jiajun had already taken a step back, a faint blue light flashing in his eyes, his right palm facing upwards in a loose fist. "Where's Lin Linmei? She's busy. Where's Lin Zaizai...?"

"Zi la——!"

A blinding electric snake leaped out of thin air, instantly coalescing into a lightning arrow brimming with destructive energy!

With a flick of Luo Jiajun's wrist, the lightning arrow shot out with a piercing shriek!

"Clap!"

The lightning bolt, fired with lightning speed, struck precisely in the chest of a monster that was trying to bypass 2B and lunging at him with a spiked mace. A violent current instantly coursed through its body, and the monster let out a shrill scream, its body convulsing violently, its fur singed and smoking, before it collapsed stiffly to the ground, its limbs still twitching unconsciously.

2B, positioned at the forefront, moved like a whirlwind, her blade flashing and limbs flying. Sometimes she charged forward to decapitate, sometimes she parried heavy hammer blows, her nimble footwork avoiding the splattering blood and the fallen monster corpses.

Behind her, Luo Jiajun calmly observed the battle. His lightning arrows were like the Grim Reaper calling out names, each flash precisely ending a threat that attempted to launch a sneak attack or flank from the side.

In less than two minutes, the dozen or so monsters that rushed out from the depths of the alley were all killed. The ground was covered with sticky blood and broken limbs, and the stench was overwhelming.

Luo Jiajun dispelled the electric arcs in his palm, frowned, and suppressed his nausea as he squatted down to carefully examine a relatively intact monster corpse at his feet.

The monster was nearly two meters tall, with exceptionally developed muscles covered in thick, brown bristles. Its fangs protruded, and its fingers were short, thick, and powerful. Even in death, it tightly gripped a bloodstained mace.

The monster wore simple leather armor, with several rough little bags hanging from its waist, and emitted an indescribable stench of wild beasts and rotting flesh.

"A robust, humanoid form with thick hair and fangs, wielding a mace and an axe..." Luo Jiajun's brows furrowed deeper and deeper. As a D&D enthusiast, he already felt these monsters looked somewhat familiar, and now a term jumped into his mind: "Bear goblin? How come even such a fantastical creature has appeared in the mist?"

However, now was not the time to stop and think. After quickly confirming that the monsters they had encountered were goblins, Luo Jiajun called to 2B and turned to run towards the alley entrance.

A short while later, he rushed out of the alley, and the scene before him confirmed Luo Jiajun's worries.

On the street outside the alley, more than a dozen goblin corpses lay scattered about. The rose beast gracefully sheathed her slender sword formed of thorny vines, the blood dripping from its tip spreading a small patch of dark red on the ground beneath the thin mist.

Ye Yibu stood next to the Rose Beast, warily scanning its surroundings. The fragrance of grass and trees emanated from its body, diluting the stench of blood.

What surprised Luo Jiajun the most was Anne Lorze standing among several corpses.

The petite witch gripped the scabbard, a demonic weapon riddled with nicks and chips, tightly in both hands. Fresh blood stained the blade and dripped slowly down its worn edge.

She was breathing slightly, her small chest heaving, her fair cheeks flushed from the intense exercise, and a few strands of damp hair clung to her forehead.

Seeing Luo Jiajun and 2B rush out, Annie Rose immediately straightened her small body, tried to calm her breathing, met Luo Jiajun's gaze with her amber eyes, raised her chin, and with an almost exaggerated expression of pride, hummed in a childish voice:

"Hmph! Master, did you see that? Don't underestimate me!"

She deliberately brandished the blood-stained Vajra Yaksha in her hand, trying to make the broken demonic weapon look more intimidating. "Even though my power has weakened and my body has shrunk, dealing with these lowly soldiers is a piece of cake with my swordsmanship!"

Her tone was full of the subtext of "praise me quickly," and she was trying hard to prove that she was not a burden.

However, just as she finished speaking and met Luo Jiajun's gaze, a barely perceptible hint of guilt flashed across her eyes beneath her feigned pride.

She almost immediately turned her head away, avoiding Luo Jiajun's scrutinizing gaze, and pretended to examine the corpse on the ground, but her small ears were secretly tinged with a deeper blush.

Luo Jiajun's gaze swept over the bear goblin corpse at Annie Rose's feet, its throat precisely pierced, and then glanced at the bloodstains on the rose beast's rapier not far away, clearly belonging to a different monster, as well as the several spots on Ye Yibu's fur that had been scratched by claws and stained with dirt. He already understood.

This little witch may have indeed dealt with at least one goblin, but she was probably almost injured by other goblins in the battle that just broke out. She was only safe thanks to the protection of Rosemon and Leafeon.

Having grasped the situation, Luo Jiajun's lips curled into a faint smile. He didn't expose Annerose, but simply nodded and replied in a flat tone, "Hmm, well done."

The "not bad" that didn't sound like much praise actually made the petite steel witch's heart tighten. She felt that her bravado had been seen through, so her cheeks burned even hotter. She could only purse her lips tightly, stare at the corpses on the ground, and pretend to be studying the structure of these monsters.

The midday sun pierced through the thin mist, barely illuminating the street, which reeked of blood and gunpowder. The brief battle was over, but Luo Jiajun felt increasingly uneasy.

Because even goblin bears are present in the mist.

Then Luo Jiajun had to carefully consider whether there were trolls, ghouls, or even... dragons hidden in the fog!

These are fantastical creatures.

Night fell, and the fog deepened.

On a vacant lot in the northern part of Kuncheng.

"Pfft—!" Linlin, are you free? Linlin, are you free...?

Luo Jiajun took the [Housing Capsule] out of his game inventory and threw it. After the capsule hit the ground, it exploded and released a lot of white smoke. A two-story detached house then appeared in the rapidly dissipating smoke.

"Ugh~ I can finally rest. I'm exhausted."

As soon as the house appeared, before the white smoke from the capsule had even dissipated, Anne-Loz, her petite frame drooping, walked straight to the door, wanting nothing more than to go inside and rest.

They've been traveling almost all day. But due to the fog and various monsters that suddenly appear from it, slowing them down, the group hasn't reached their destination yet. Through the game map and communication with 2B, Luo Jiajun knows that before the update, the missing Achina and the others were last staying at a car wash on the outermost ring of the northern part of the city.

Currently, Luo Jiajun and his group are still about three kilometers away from the car wash. Normally, three kilometers is not far, but as mentioned before, the fog and various monsters have greatly slowed down the group's progress. Moreover, now that night has fallen, it is almost pitch black.

We must stop and rest to get through this long night.

"Master, open the door quickly!" Annerose, who was standing at the door, urged Luo Jiajun.

Luo Jiajun strode forward. The access control system scanned his face, emitted a soft "beep," and the door lock clicked open. As soon as the door opened a crack, Anne-Loz, like a slippery little fish, darted under Luo Jiajun's arm and into the room, heading straight for the nearest bedroom.

Exhaustion made her forget even the thought of taking a shower. Her small body collapsed heavily onto the bed, and almost instantly, her soft, even breathing began.

Seeing Annerose rushing inside to rest, Luo Jiajun couldn't help but shake his head and smile. But there was a reason why Annerose was so tired. Besides the attacks from pterosaurs and goblin bears, the team encountered various other monsters on their journey, such as goblins, kobolds, wolf packs, and slimes.

In every battle, Annerose chose to wield the damaged Vajra Yaksha rather than cower under the protection of Luo Jiajun and the others.

This steel witch, though shrunk in size and weakened in power, still retains her courage. However, her physical condition is indeed too poor; after a whole day of activity, she desperately needs rest.

Although Luo Jiajun was physically in good condition, he was mentally exhausted, so he instructed Rosemon and Yeezy to stand guard for a while. Then he took 2B and headed straight for the bathroom.

"By the way, 2B, can you take a shower? Won't water getting into your body cause some kind of short circuit or something?"

In the bathroom, Luo Jiajun took off his clothes while asking 2B a question out of curiosity.

"Master, rest assured, waterproofing is one of 2B's most basic environmental adaptability as a combat robot. If you need someone to serve you during your bath, 2B can certainly take on that task."

"That's true..."

After hearing 2B's answer, Luo Jiajun suddenly realized something and thought in a peculiar way: If 2B wasn't waterproof, wouldn't all the sparrows have been electrocuted when she grew 2B before?

cough cough.

Back to the main point. Seeing 2B solemnly express her willingness to serve him during his bath, Luo Jiajun took off his clothes, then reached out a hand and smiled as he stroked 2B's snow-white face.

"No, it's not you serving me..."

“Look at yourself. You were at the forefront in so many battles today, and your clothes are covered in blood.”

"Come on, let me help you take off your clothes and wash you up as a reward for your bravery."

Luo Jiajun spoke in a serious tone, and moved closer to 2B, beginning to undress his absolutely obedient Yoruha maid.

A moment later, the black combat uniform stained with dark red marks on the maid, Yoshiha, silently slipped to the ground. Her body, a masterpiece of creation, was now laid bare before Luo Jiajun's eyes.

Her moon-like skin shimmered with a delicate, cool glow under the bathroom light, so perfect it seemed unreal. Only a few minor scratches and not-yet-dry bloodstains silently testified to the intensity of the day.

Luo Jiajun turned on the shower, and warm water poured down, instantly wetting the two of them. He pressed close from behind, his firm chest against 2B's smooth, slightly cool back, his arms gently encircling 2B's waist like vines, climbing upwards.

As the water meandered down the graceful curves of the maid Yoshiha, Luo Jiajun's broad palms covered those two supple peaks, his fingertips exploring as he gently kneaded the delicate skin, feeling its fullness and softness.

Immediately afterwards, Luo Jiajun's warm lips replaced the flow of water, landing on 2B's slender neck. The wet kiss marks were like branding marks, winding their way to 2B's sensitive earlobe and small earlobes.

At this moment, 2B's body seemed to tremble very slightly, as if a sophisticated instrument had received an unreadable command and was emitting a silent hum. Her head tilted back slightly, resting on Luo Jiajun's shoulder, and the only thing on her body that Luo Jiajun hadn't removed—the tactical goggles—became even more alluring at this moment.

A short while later, a simple rinse washed away the surface grime and fatigue. Luo Jiajun turned off the water, took the shower gel, and rubbed the milky white liquid in his palm, turning it into delicate and rich foam.

He patiently applied the fragrant, smooth cream to every inch of 2b's skin.

The snow-white ketone body covered by foam began to feel wonderful to the touch, like the finest mutton fat jade wrapped in a layer of warm silk, extremely smooth.
