Mu Bai did not rush into a decision.
Instead, she used her flashlight to illuminate every nearby corner, confirming their safety while considering her options.
According to the Station prompts, those head-sized shadows were likely the Spiders of this Station.
The fact that the other group encountered so many right away could be due to bad luck, but it also suggested there might be many Spiders within the Station.
Ye Yuan’s bullets were limited, and she couldn’t clear out all the Spiders in the entire Shelter.
The best option was to adapt while searching for supplies.
Her own handgun was for saving her life, and with only three bullets, she couldn’t pull it out unless it was absolutely necessary.
Since the other party had someone who could use a bow, having two long-range attackers guarding the front and back would be very suitable…
However, that was provided the other party was honest enough.
At this thought, Mu Bai made her decision.
“Let’s go help.”
“Mhm,”
Ye Yuan nodded.
The flashlight shone toward the center of the hall, revealing a flat and unobstructed path.
The two immediately set off, moving toward the opposite corner of the hall at their fastest speed.
As they got closer, Mu Bai was able to see the composition of the other team.
They were two young people, a man and a woman, both physically mature.
Judging by their age and the clear aura that hadn’t yet fully faded from their faces, they were likely college students.
Notably, the one using a bow to pick off the Spiders wasn’t the man, but a black-haired girl with a high ponytail.
At this moment, a swarm of silver-black Spiders was relentlessly attacking them.
Over a dozen Spiders had already been pinned down by arrows, but their numbers showed no sign of decreasing.
The pair was being gradually cornered.
The young man needed to maintain the light, so he could only grip a long bamboo spear with one hand, ready to join the fight at any moment.
Ye Yuan turned and asked,
“Can I fire?”
She was used to setting aside her own thinking in critical moments and asking Mu Bai to solve the problem.
“Fire!”
Mu Bai gave the answer instantly.
Even though the man’s cry for help had been so loud earlier, it hadn’t attracted more Spiders from the shadows.
The Spiders attacking them came from the original direction, which meant these creatures didn’t rely on hearing to locate targets.
In that case, the sound of gunfire likely wouldn’t bring more danger!
A Spider approached the pair and leaped into the air.
The young man nervously thrust his spear, but the tip missed.
Just as it was about to pounce on him…
Bang!
A gunshot rang out, and the Spider exploded in mid-air!
The massive impact of the bullet tore the head-sized body apart.
Fragments of its limbs fell all over the ground, and slime splattered everywhere.
Some slime landed on the young man.
He was clearly disgusted, but his expression was filled more with shock and relief.
He also saw the two people coming to support them — a young woman and someone who looked more like a little girl.
Yet, despite this team composition, the black-haired girl held a gun and had hit her target from dozens of meters away!
He was shocked by her weapon and marksmanship, and relieved to be alive!
That large Spider had almost landed on his chest, so he had seen it clearly.
Setting aside whether it was venomous, its two front legs were metallic in color and glinted with sharpness.
He had been standing on the edge of death and was pulled back by that miraculous shot!
“Holy crap, help me, bosses!”
In his desperation, the young man didn’t care about his pride and called out to the two girls, who were clearly younger than him.
A Spider jumped toward the girl with the ponytail.
She pierced it with an arrow, but a second and third soon found an opening to pounce.
Bang!
Bang!
Two more shots, fired in quick succession.
Ye Yuan moved alongside Mu Bai while aiming at the moving targets, her accuracy unaffected.
The two Spiders were shattered one after another, bursting in the air.
As they drew closer to the battlefield, Ye Yuan’s aiming time was significantly reduced.
She unleashed her bullets without hesitation, quickly emptying a magazine.
She immediately swapped to the next one but didn’t continue firing.
Within a few breaths, over a dozen more Spiders were cleared out.
The remaining ones seemed to sense the threat and retreated into a passage connected to the hall.
There was no need to waste more bullets.
Taking a handful of bullets from Mu Bai, Ye Yuan loaded them into the empty magazine.
Now that the danger was gone, the two walked the last few steps slowly.
They wouldn’t easily trust strangers.
They slowed their pace so that if the other party intended to attack, they would have more time to react.
The young man swallowed hard and hurriedly stepped forward to greet them.
“Thank you for saving us… May I ask what your names are?”
The girl with the ponytail also sighed in relief and stepped forward.
“Thank you. I’m Su Wan, and this is Zheng Mingyuan, my boyfriend… Just ignore what he said earlier. If we survive this Station, all the resources are yours.”
Being this close, they could see clearly.
Both Mu Bai and Ye Yuan had guns; they obviously couldn’t be trifled with by a single bow.
Moreover, if not for these two girls, they would have been in trouble the moment the Spiders pounced.
Logically and ethically, they shouldn’t fight over resources anymore.
It wasn’t just because they were afraid…
“You’ll have to help carry the supplies in this Station. Any objections?”
Mu Bai narrowed her eyes.
Having experienced life and death several times, she had developed quite an aura.
Even though she was a little girl, she actually looked somewhat dignified when she was serious.
“Uh, well…”
“No problem!”
Zheng Mingyuan was a bit reluctant, but Su Wan agreed immediately.
“Very well. My name is Mu Bai, and this is Ye Yuan. You can call me Brother Mu,”
Mu Bai said with satisfaction.
As for that title… the guy had called out for brothers when he first asked for help, so there wasn’t much else to say.
Having finally found a chance to regain her masculine pride, she was eager to try it out.
“Mu… Mu… Sister Mu.”
Zheng Mingyuan looked at the Little White-Haired One in front of him.
He tried several times but simply couldn’t bring himself to call her “Brother,” so he took the initiative to change the title.
Mu Bai narrowed her eyes.
‘It feels like this guy doesn’t really know how things work.’
“Miss Mu, and this Sister Ye… We misjudged the difficulty of this Station. We only survived thanks to you two. Just treat us like your tools!”
Su Wan lowered her head, showing her full sincerity.
‘Even “Miss Mu” now!’
Mu Bai put a hand to her forehead in exasperation.
However, she inwardly approved of Su Wan.
This girl knew how to judge the situation and kept her attitude low enough; she had a bright future.
Moreover, her appearance was also good, reaching the level of a school beauty.
Mu Bai estimated her Charm must be around 14.
She wondered what kind of luck this guy had — he wasn’t even as handsome as she had been before her transformation, yet he was in a relationship with a girl like Su Wan.
She glanced at the nearby train and saw it had been upgraded too.
“What level is your train?”
“Level 1…”
Su Wan was a bit dazed, not knowing why Mu Bai was asking.
“It’s nothing, just asking. Let’s explore all the rooms on the first floor first. Your boyfriend will carry the resources. If there’s enough, we can share some with you,”
Mu Bai organized.
If you want the horse to run, you have to let it graze.
Her own strength was too low for heavy lifting.
Ye Yuan needed to stay alert, and the girl had to use her bow.
The only one who could carry supplies was this young man.
Giving them a bit of resources to make the ox work harder wasn’t a big deal.
“Okay!”
Su Wan said happily.
