Since there was a title, it would be very fast. Probably within 20 minutes.
"What the hell is going on?!"
Accompanied by the woman's angry scolding, a boot kicked the door of the bus, causing the passenger door to shake. However, the bright red "1" sign above his head was still hanging steadily like Mount Tai.
Behind Lin Sanjiu was Marcie, who was sighing with her head lowered, and Luther, who had just calmed down from his agitation.
"Does that mean we only have one chance?" Lin Sanjiu panted, her eyes red. She was even angrier, "Who is behind this?!"
Marcie comforted her softly, "Lil Jiu, don't be angry. From another point of view, this countdown might have saved our lives. Otherwise, we would have been dead already. "
Even though Lin Sanjiu said that, she still couldn't accept it. She felt like she had been tricked by someone. She tried hard to suppress the anger in her heart as she clutched her pants tightly.
After some time, she stood up abruptly, "I'm going out for a walk."
Luther rubbed his temples as if he had a headache. He seemed to be in low spirits.
Lin Sanjiu got off the bus and walked a few steps. The night wind blew the gravel on her body. The slight pain made Lin Sanjiu realize that she was still alive. The surroundings were extremely quiet, without the slightest noise. One could even hear the sound of blood flowing through one's ears. Perhaps that was the reason why she gradually calmed down.
"It's so quiet. But … isn't it a little too quiet? "
Lin Sanjiu felt like something was missing.
She frowned slightly and her gaze fell on the dirty Citroën not far away.
"That's right … Didn't Vole come to wake us up at this time the previous two times? Why hadn't he heard his cell phone ring until now? Is he still not awake? "
With that thought in mind, Lin Sanjiu rushed to the front of the Citroën and called out worriedly, "Vole! Are you awake? "
She waited for a while, but there was still no response from the bus.
She couldn't help wiping the dust off the window with her sleeve. She bent down to look inside.
In the car, the front passenger seat had been lowered to be used as a bed, and a few half-eaten food wrappers were randomly thrown beside it. There was an empty drink bottle, a few dirty clothes — but there was no sign of the vole.
Lin Sanjiu's heart immediately leaped into her throat. She circled around the convoy a few times as she looked around. There was nothing in the surroundings, and it was extremely spacious. The trees had long been turned into ashes, and one could see far into the distance with a single glance. But after two laps, she didn't even see a field mouse's footprints.
While Luther and Marcie were talking, they got out of the car. When Lin Sanjiu heard the commotion, she ran over and shouted, "Vole is not in the car! He's gone! Should we go look for him? "
They were stunned. They didn't expect Vole to go missing. Marcie opened her mouth and was about to speak when a slow voice came from the roof of the car.
"I say, you guys should stop looking. You won't be able to find it."
The three of them were shocked. They took a few steps back out of reflex and looked up at the roof of the car.
Under the silvery white moon of the night, two black shadows, one standing and the other sitting, appeared. It was unknown when they had arrived. The hot night wind blew past them. Their shadows were bathed in the moonlight, and their faces couldn't be seen clearly.
The person who spoke just now seemed to be the person who was sitting. His posture was extremely relaxed. One of his legs hung down from the roof of the car. There was a hint of mockery in his voice, "Why are you guys looking at me like that? Do you guys think I'm good-looking? "
The three of them didn't know what to say. Lin Sanjiu opened her mouth, "You guys take Vole —"
At this moment, the man who had been standing silently by the side interrupted her. He took a step forward and suddenly leaped up under the bright moonlight. He turned into a shadow and landed heavily on the ground, stirring up a cloud of dust.
The man was very tall. His muscles were as strong as those of a wild beast, and he was full of dangerous explosive power. He carried a long, slightly curved sword on his back. It was somewhat similar to a katana, but it didn't have a scabbard. Lin Sanjiu had no idea how he tied it to his body. Only the steel blade shone faintly in the dark night.
It wasn't difficult for a posthuman to jump off a bus. However, for some reason, there was something about the man that set off the alarms of Lin Sanjiu and the others. They were all on the alert.
The man raised his head and curled the corner of his mouth at them, revealing a smile that could almost be described as vicious.
In an instant, an imposing aura that they had never experienced before swept over them like a tsunami.
It was as if the man had sucked all the air out of them. The three of them even held their breath for a moment. This was definitely not an illusion, nor was it a psychological effect. It was a real, tangible, and tangible pressure. It was as if a mountain was pressing down on them. Under this kind of pressure, it became very difficult for them to even stand. After holding on for a while, Marcie was the first to give up. She sat on the ground with a thud, and her face turned pale.
Luther's face was filled with unwillingness. His forehead was covered in cold sweat, and he slowly bent his knee.
Lin Sanjiu felt as if her heart was being squeezed by the man in front of her. Every muscle in her body was trembling, trying to support her. She shuddered and tried her best to suppress the urge to turn around and run.
This feeling … was like a hare running into a cougar on a grassland.
It was a feeling of helplessness and despair. She and the man were not on the same level of the food chain.
At this moment, Lin Sanjiu's [Acute Instinct] was fully activated. Every cell in her body was warning her: Run, run, run...
Just when she couldn't take it anymore and was about to turn around and run, the man who had been sitting and talking leaped down from the bus. It was as if a spring breeze had thawed the ground and blown away thousands of pear blossoms. He caressed Lin Sanjiu's cheeks lightly. His murderous aura immediately lessened.
The moment he jumped down, he scolded, "Why did you scare them?" Then, he turned to the three of them and comforted them, "It's okay. He has this bad habit. Don't be afraid."
The man with the katana snorted and said in a deep voice, "They are too weak."
"Who are you people?" Lin Sanjiu's heart slowly calmed down. The more she listened to the voices of the two people, the more familiar they sounded, "Why are you looking for us?"
"Also, why didn't you let us look for the vole?" Luther helped Marcie up. When he heard Lin Sanjiu's question, he quickly interjected. Even though he was young, he was very perceptive. Ever since the man with the gentle voice jumped down, he could tell that the two people did not seem to have any intention of attacking them.
If the man in front of them really wanted to kill them, he could do it in less than 30 seconds.
The man who was sitting just now was indeed very good-looking. His smile was like a peach blossom, and his white teeth gleamed. He looked at the three people who looked a little embarrassed and suddenly laughed, "You guys still don't know your situation, right?"
The three people did not speak, but the man with the katana suddenly spoke, "Not only are they weak, they are also stupid."
Lin Sanjiu immediately frowned. However, the fear she felt just now still lingered in her heart. In the end, she bit her lip and did not say anything.
"After all, they just started not long ago …" The peach blossom man tried to smooth things over and said to the three people, "Alright, alright, I will tell you everything from the beginning. From the looks of it, you guys haven't experienced a 'new world', right? "
Luther and Marcie looked at each other and said hesitantly, "We have experienced a new world twice, but it is Xiao Jiu's first time."
The peach blossom man was shocked when he heard that. He widened his eyes and looked at them, "Twice? Don't tell me you guys have experienced a Level E world twice in a row? "
"… What is a Level E world?" Luther asked in confusion.
"Huh?" The peach blossom man immediately put on a troubled expression, "Really, I didn't expect to meet such a newbie. Listen up, in the many parallel worlds where the new world descends, there are five levels, from E to A, according to the difficulty of survival. You guys have played games before, right? Yes, it's like a game. Who do you ask? It's someone from a certain place. Even if I told you, you wouldn't know. In short, in order to better adapt to the new world, there are five levels. Level E is the easiest. "
When Marcie heard the words "easiest", her expression instantly changed. However, she didn't say anything.
However, Luther, who was beside her, jumped up. His fair skin turned red. He suppressed his anger and said, "The easiest? Do you know how many people died in the Warring World? In the end, all the soldiers of the right age died, and the people fighting on the battlefield were all skinny children … How can this be considered easy! "
"As a normal person, you guys can actually survive for so long after the apocalypse. What an easy world," the peach blossom man said as if he was deliberately trying to provoke them. The peach blossom man seemed to be deliberately trying to provoke him. His smile was cold. "You have to know, once you pass Level E, even evolved humans become like grass. You can protect yourself today, but you can't protect yourself tomorrow … Just like you now."
"Hyperthermal Hell … What level is it?" Lin Sanjiu couldn't help asking.
The peach blossom man looked at her and smiled, "Level D."
Lin Sanjiu's face turned pale.
This place, which had caused them to die twice in a row, was only a D-class place? In that case, what would C and above be like? When she thought of this, her voice trembled a little, "How is this level determined?"
"Speaking of this, it has something to do with your current situation," the peach blossom man said with a warm smile. "All new worlds above Level E will randomly appear … Hmm, how should I put it, there will be traps in the area corresponding to the difficulty. We call it 'Instance Dungeon'. "
"Instance Dungeon?" the three of them repeated in unison.
"It's just a name. Actually, it doesn't matter what it is called. It's just that it's the most common name. In short, there are all kinds of life and death situations in Instance Dungeons … Just like in a game, you can only leave the Instance Dungeon if you survive. For this Instance Dungeon, every time you die, the countdown will decrease by one. When you use up all three chances, you will really die. "
"Then … We really only have one chance now!" Lin Sanjiu said in a daze.
"That's right," unexpectedly, it was the man with the katana who spoke. "Your previous two performances were so bad that it made me want to cry," Lin Sanjiu swallowed the words she wanted to say.
Lin Sanjiu swallowed the words she wanted to say. Indeed, it was a little too much for them to be annihilated twice in a row...
Seeing that the atmosphere had fallen to rock bottom because of his companion's words, the peach blossom man smiled bitterly, "You guys can't be blamed. Your opponents are much more experienced than you guys … Let me introduce myself. I'm Li Zhijun, and he's Hei Zeji. This time, we are here to help. "
