Lin Sanjiu wasn't a fool. After experiencing two apocalyptic worlds on the same planet, she had already formed a conjecture about this place.
If she looked down from the sky, she would see a crisscrossing highway system that snaked across the land. The network of roads had divided the land into irregular pieces. When she was on the road, it was safe. She had verified that twice. But on both sides of the road, there were overgrown dungeons of the past. They had now taken on the characteristics of apocalyptic worlds, and people could even come and go with a visa.
"Since lava is on the left side of the highway, why wouldn't there be another" apocalyptic world "on the right side of the highway?"
"Since I have a plan, let's do it!"
Lin Sanjiu cut off her train of thought. She gritted her teeth and twisted her body to the right. Then, she leaped toward the highway fence on her right. Bonnie Bunny cursed from afar. Almost immediately after, she heard the sound of the unfortunate guy being controlled by someone rolling on the ground toward her.
Lin Sanjiu didn't stop sprinting forward. She carried Yuan Xiangxi with one hand and leaped over the fence. Just as she was about to plunge into the thicket, she stopped. Bonnie Rabbit obviously knew what it meant to leave the road. While she was still in a daze, the lava caught up with the unlucky puppet that she was manipulating. The puppet that had its strings cut fell to the ground, as if its body had suddenly become a pile of unrelated pieces. As soon as the target fell, the lava disappeared as well.
"You've crossed the highway!"
Yuan Xiangxi called out softly before he quickly covered his mouth. His brows were tightly knitted together, and he did not dare to open his eyes to see what kind of horrifying world lay beyond the fence. It was as if he wanted to stay where he was and wait for his death like a goose with its wings tucked up.
Lin Sanjiu let go of him and stood up from behind the fence without saying anything. She met Bonnie Bunny's gaze from afar. Both of them stood behind the fence and stared at each other across the highway for two seconds. For a moment, neither of them moved.
"Because of you," Bonnie Bunny gritted her teeth and laughed. She did not deliberately raise her voice, but Lin Sanjiu, who was on the other side of the road, could hear the anger in her voice clearly. "I'm missing one person."
Or rather, she had one less mission target to send to the hospital, right?
She had sacrificed one of her mission targets to chase after Lin Sanjiu. She probably hoped that she could exchange for two targets. Now that she had sacrificed one of her mission targets, she couldn't even touch Lin Sanjiu. She wouldn't just leave like that.
"How many are left?" Lin Sanjiu crossed her arms and asked.
Bonnie Rabbit was stunned.
"How many more people do you want to send to the hospital before you can leave Lava?" Lin Sanjiu tried her best to smile, hoping that she could divert the woman's attention from the railing.
To her surprise, Bonnie Rabbit actually answered. The other party sneered and laughed, "There are 219 people left. Compared to the total number, I'm almost at the end. What? Are you surprised? I'm different from you low-level people. "
"Can you not go back and continue to hunt for other players?"
As Lin Sanjiu spoke, she kicked the corner of Yuan Xiangxi's shirt to the side to prevent it from hitting the concrete railing. The space that Yuan Xiangxi and Lin Sanjiu could move about was very limited. They could only move about half an arm's length. Lin Sanjiu secretly hoped that Bonnie Rabbit wouldn't notice that something was wrong on the road. She laughed, "Do you want to catch another person and throw him to the other side of the road? You should know that we are already in another pocket dimension. Lava is no longer useful. "
From a cost point of view, it was not worth it for Bonnie Rabbit to waste another mission target for them. But then again, who was a rational person in the economic sense? This woman seemed to be very vengeful. If she really did it again, Lin Sanjiu might be forced to jump over the real railing...
"Huh?" Yuan Xiangxi opened his eyes. Suddenly, he was startled and got up from the ground.
Lin Sanjiu quickly turned around and glared at him, "Don't say anything you shouldn't." Yuan Xiangxi swallowed the words that he was about to say. His eyes darted back and forth in front of him, but he didn't dare to move.
Bonnie Rabbit looked at them and raised one of her eyebrows. A hint of suspicion gradually appeared on her face.
Lin Sanjiu was very clear that from Bonnie Rabbit's perspective, she and Yuan Xiangxi were indeed standing outside the railing of the road. Behind them was the forest. If there was another pocket dimension beyond the road, then they were undoubtedly standing in that pocket dimension.
However, if she looked back from where she was, the real railing of the road was actually about a fist's length behind them. It was covered by the green shadows of the forest. What she was standing on was the asphalt surface of the road, not the gravel ground overgrown with weeds. In other words, she was still standing on the road, but she was covered by the image of the gravel ground.
At that critical moment, she had called out [How to Render].
The light and shadow of this part of the road were twisted and folded. Half an arm away from the real road fence, a section of fence that looked like the real thing was projected. Even the image of the sand and forest behind the fence was "shifted" a few steps away.
Naturally, the part of the fence that Lin Sanjiu had leaped over was this section of the distorted fence. She tried her best not to touch the fence and pulled Yuan Xiangxi to her side. Then, she held her breath and stood on the narrow section of the road between the real and fake fence. Otherwise, Bonnie Rabbit would find that the fence had come out of her hand the moment she stretched out her hand.
"Don't touch it," she whispered to Yuan Xiangxi.
"I hope Bonnie Rabbit didn't notice anything strange." When she thought of this, she looked at the other side of the road and was slightly startled.
At that moment, the girl was looking at the forest behind them with her head held high. Lin Sanjiu didn't know what she was looking at. She seemed to have forgotten that Lin Sanjiu was there. When Bonnie Rabbit came back to her senses, she glanced at the two of them and smiled with a complicated expression, "Fine. You're brave and lucky. I won't chase after you."
Lin Sanjiu resisted the urge to look at the forest behind her. When Bonnie Rabbit said that she was going to give up, she gave up without hesitation. She turned around and disappeared down the hill on the other side of the road. The two of them stared at the direction where she had disappeared for a long time. When they didn't hear anything else, they finally relaxed and let out a long sigh of relief.
"It seems like she really left. She's not that persistent," Yuan Xiangxi said as he looked around. When he turned his head, he seemed to have forgotten all about the thrilling experience just now. He smiled at Lin Sanjiu, "What else do you want to tell me, Wei Xing?"
"Now is not the time for idle chatter."
Lin Sanjiu slowly turned around and looked at the dense forest behind her.
The smell of the branches, the grass, and the earth seeped coolly into his nose and into his skin. The shades of green climbed all the way to the bottom of the blue-gray evening sky, stretching out as far as the eye could see. In the distance, the forest quietly wrinkled, dispersed, and condensed with the rise and fall of the mountain … It was as if it had always stood outside of time and had nothing to do with humans.
She couldn't see anything. Even if the Bonnie Rabbit saw something in this forest, it wouldn't be able to reach her, right? After all, she was still standing on the road and had yet to cross the fence.
"Let's go. We'll talk as we walk," Lin Sanjiu said.
The image created by Render took two steps to the middle of the road and waved at Yuan Xiangxi. "If we follow this road all the way, we should be able to reach the campsite of my two companions before midnight."
"Even if I'm dead, can I still go?"
Yuan Xiangxi was definitely a very gullible person. Not long ago, he still thought that he was not dead, but after Lin Sanjiu told him a few times, he quickly accepted his fate. He reached out to pull his long hair down and pointed at his face, which was even paler than before. He asked seriously, "Are they afraid of ghosts?"
"No, they are not. You seem to have accepted it very well. "
"I can still talk, walk, and sing," Yuan Xiangxi said as he stuck his hands into his robe pocket. He kicked a pebble as he followed behind Lin Sanjiu. "If this is what death is like, it's not a big deal."
"Forget about singing."
Lin Sanjiu put one hand on the fence and said as they walked, "Wei Xing said that one night, the two of you didn't change to the same ward, so you agreed to spend the night together in a tent in the corner of the hospital. That night, the two of you were ambushed … She said that she felt sorry for you. After that night, she realized that you were no longer a living person, but she was hesitant to tell you. "
Yuan Xiangxi didn't say anything.
"After the two of you were separated for some reason, she always wanted to find you again. Gradually, that became her biggest wish. " Lin Sanjiu lowered her voice, trying her best not to think about Wei Xing's expression and tone before he died. "She knew that you were discharged from the hospital, so she tried everything she could to get out of the hospital. She knew that you were no longer a living person and that you were not bound by the lava. You might go to a place outside of the lava's range, so she did everything she could to complete her mission. She wanted to leave the lava and find you when she was discharged. She never expected that you would stay in the lava and survive one round after another. "
Lin Sanjiu sighed. "When I told her that I saw the name 'Yuan Xiangxi' in the registration book, I … I don't know how to describe her expression at that time. At that time, I knew that no matter what request she made, I would probably agree to it. And I did agree to it. "
Yuan Xiangxi still didn't say anything.
"She … She said in the end that you were dead and that you no longer had the burden of life. She hoped that you could do whatever you wanted to do while you were still alive." Then, Lin Sanjiu stopped and turned to him. "You told her that you always wanted to go on a road trip, didn't you?"
Yuan Xiangxi lowered his head. His long hair covered his expression. Under the gradually darkening sky, he looked even more lifeless than before. It was as if there was only a faint white shadow wandering between heaven and earth blankly. After a while, he nodded his head and whispered with a heavy nasal voice, "Wei Xing is dead, right?"
"If you still want to go on a road trip, come with us." Wei Xing would be happy if he knew.
"... Okay." Yuan Xiangxi nodded again. He raised his face, which was born without any trace of anger, as if he wanted to say something. It was at that moment that Lin Sanjiu's heart suddenly tightened. However, before she could react, a tsunami-like force suddenly swept over from the other side of the road. It smashed the fence, crossed the road, and smashed into the two of them. The force carried both of them through the fence behind them and sent them tumbling into the forest.
In the darkness, the world spun around them. Along the way, the branches, leaves, and tree trunks were smashed, and Lin Sanjiu felt pain all over her body. When she finally steadied herself in the forest, Bonnie Bunny's leisurely and sweet voice rang out.
"Didn't you guys want to cross the fence? I came back to help you guys. What do you think? You didn't expect that, did you? I've said it before, I like this kind of unexpected turn of events. "
