Chapter 683 [(*^▽^*)]

Lin Leyou had just finished showering when she saw Xue Rui sitting on the sofa with a displeased look on his face. "What's wrong?"

Xue Rui: "It's almost five o'clock now. There are still fifteen hours until eight o'clock tomorrow. The dungeon will end in fifteen hours."

Lin Leyou, "..."

That's absolutely right, it only takes a little over half a day.

Xue Rui: "This is very bad."

Xue Rui suddenly stood up, picked up the clothes that Lin Leyou had prepared before taking a bath, and dressed him himself. Lin Leyou was a little embarrassed, but he did not refuse.

After getting dressed, he patted his slightly flushed cheeks. It was quite impressive that Xue Rui could still think about other things even in such a critical moment.

Lin Leyou pulled him along, "Let's go, let's eat first no matter what, we won't sleep tonight, we can just wander around the hotel for the rest of the time, how about that?"

Xue Rui: "This is what I think."

When the two of them arrived at the restaurant, it was packed with people; it was as if all the players had gathered there.

Xue Rui and his companion wanted to eat, but there were no empty tables available. Fortunately, staff quickly moved some tables and chairs from other places, and the two of them were able to occupy a small table. It was just right for the two of them to sit facing each other and eat, and no one else could squeeze in.

It took another hour to finish the meal, and it wasn't that no one would come over just because there was no room on the table; more than one person came over during their meal.

They were all there to see Xue Rui; they basically ignored Lin Leyou, at most giving him a quick glance.

Moreover, perhaps because they were in a hurry to escape, there was no longer any need to hide anything, so they stopped concealing certain key words when speaking to Xue Rui.

After several exchanges, it became clear that these players who had approached them were also there to gather information, as they themselves had no leads whatsoever.

The restaurant was still too crowded. After finishing their meal, Xue Rui took Lin Leyou and left the restaurant. "Logically, the boat should appear at eight o'clock tomorrow morning to take the tourists away."

Lin Leyou: "Yes, exactly five days."

They didn't plan to go back to their room tonight, but they didn't have anywhere they wanted to go, so they just wandered around the various corners of the hotel.

Seeing his expression, Lin Leyou comforted him, "It's alright, think positively. The ultimate attack in this dungeon will come sooner or later. We'll deal with whatever comes our way. Do you really think we can't withstand it?"

Xue Rui thought about it and agreed. They couldn't really blow up the whole island, because then there would be nowhere to run.

Having figured things out, Xue Rui even had the mood to drag Lin Leyou out for a late-night snack at 10 pm. During these few days in this instance, they had been eating late-night snacks every day, with plenty of meat and fish.

The two of them would never eat so extravagantly or in such a grand manner in their normal lives, but the food in this instance was really delicious, and even Xue Rui couldn't help but eat more.

Time passed quietly, and soon it was three in the morning, five hours before eight o'clock.

They were standing on the rooftop, which was surrounded by floor-to-ceiling windows on all four sides. It was originally intended to give tourists a panoramic view of the sea, but now all they could see was the storm.

Some of the glass was even cracked by something, but fortunately it didn't break and could still hold up.

The two stood in front of one of the floor-to-ceiling windows, looking at the storm just across the window. The surging seawater was sometimes blown by the wind so far that it could cross the beach and rush onto the area that was originally a green area behind it.

Looking at it from here, they had a rather strange feeling that the sea was gradually swallowing up the small island.

Lin Leyou: "Five hours have passed, and there's still no movement."

Just as Xue Rui was about to speak, he opened his eyes wide and looked out the window into the distance. He pointed outside and exclaimed, "Look!"

Lin Leyou stared at the outside with a puzzled look. At first, he didn't notice anything because the wind and rain were too strong and blocked his view, but he soon noticed something was wrong.

He stared in disbelief at the distant sea, "This...this could be..."

A tsunami appeared where the sea and sky met in the distance!

Not only Xue Rui and Lin Leyou, but everyone else on the top floor also noticed it. Whether they were staff or tourists, everyone noticed the tsunami.

At this moment, everyone was cursing the dungeon in their hearts. It turned out that there was no conspiracy or trickery at all. The witch doctor boss and all the clues they had heard before were all fake!

The person who provided the information is just a stupid paranoid idiot. This dungeon is a catastrophe dungeon!

What's worse is that the system initially lets them choose an item, so it's asking them to choose an item to save their lives during a tsunami, right?

So what do they do now? Countless people have chosen weapons or defensive items, and Xue Rui and Lin Leyou are among them. Even if they don't have weapons or defensive items, they definitely can't protect them for five hours!

Lin Leyou thought of his own ghost wall. If possible, but this place is flooded, can the ghost wall keep the seawater out?

Even if it's possible now, what about two hours later?

Two hours later, the time for the Ghost Wall event will be up, and they will have to use the talent again. However, the Ghost Wall event cannot be seamlessly connected during this period. In other words, they will spend at least a little bit of time in the hotel that is flooded by seawater. When they use the Ghost Wall event again, the hotel will probably be full of seawater.

The two could only watch helplessly as the tsunami drew closer in the distance. The players around them were going crazy. Over the past few days, they had practically dug up the entire island, and some players had even braved the storm to go outside and check everywhere. But there wasn't a single submarine on the entire island, not even a small boat, a lifeboat, or a hovercraft!

Oh, no! There were some when they first arrived on the island, but they didn't pay any attention to them at the time. Now, even if there were any, they've all been blown away.

"There are still lifebuoys, let's go find lifebuoys."

When someone shouted, Xue Rui had already pulled Lin Leyou away from the top floor. They quickly descended the stairs to the first floor and managed to grab two life jackets.

At this moment, Xue Rui also saw three officials he recognized. There were two other people with them. The five of them looked to be acting similarly, so they must be traveling together.

They exchanged a glance but said nothing. They quickly put on their life jackets and then rushed through the chaotic, screaming, and running crowd, opening the door and running out as fast as they could.

When the tsunami reaches the island, everything on it will be leveled in an instant, not only the ground but also several layers of soil will be scraped away, so they simply cannot stay on the island.

But by this point, they had no tools to help them escape; all the tools they had were offensive weapons!

Xue Rui pulled Lin Leyou forward and quickly got separated from the other five people on the island. Actually, there was no need for them to stay together; they would be completely separated after the tsunami hit.

Lin Leyou took a deep breath. "Wait, listen to me first. Take this life jacket from me. With two life jackets, your chances of survival will be much better."

Xue Rui wiped his face, but the torrential rain kept slapping against it, making it hard for him to speak coherently. "What nonsense are you talking about?"

Lin Leyou: "Don't forget my mission; it has nothing to do with whether I survive or not."

He was about to take off his life jacket when Xue Rui grabbed his hand and pulled him forward, saying, "Stop messing around, let's go!"

Lin Leyou blinked. Wasn't this the best option? As long as the number of surviving players was higher than five, he could complete the mission even if he died.

But now, their chances of surviving together are actually lower.

Lin Leyou discovered that Xue Rui didn't think that way at all. Even if he failed the mission and lost tens of millions of points, this person still couldn't bear to see him die in front of him.

Lin Leyou thought Xue Rui was a bit sentimental, but he was still happy. Oh well... it's just a few tens of millions of points, they can't afford to lose that now.

Besides... even if he were given two life jackets, it wouldn't guarantee Xue Rui's survival. So what's the point of going along with him?

He didn't say anything more, but quietly followed Lin Leyou as they ran forward.

Then Lin Leyou pulled him aside, saying, "Wait a minute, I'll use Ghost Wall to protect us for now. Once this tsunami has passed and Ghost Wall is ready, we'll come out, float to the surface, and continue using Ghost Wall. That should ensure our survival."

The incident happened so suddenly that I hadn't considered this possibility.

Xue Rui was standing on the beach at this moment. The beach was now revealing some of the seabed that was not usually visible at low tide, and the churning seawater around him had calmed down considerably.

In contrast, a distant tsunami swept in, blotting out the sky and seemingly intending to submerge the entire world in the sea.

Xue Rui originally planned to take Lin Leyou away from this island, but now...

They stood on the beach facing the storm, watching the impending tsunami in the distance, like lovers who had given up resistance and were preparing to commit suicide together.

Behind them, in other corners of the island, or among the many players and staff watching from inside the hotel, they all noticed the two dark figures. But soon they saw the figures walk to the side and disappear from their sight.

The gale grew increasingly fierce, and even as the tsunami approached, it destroyed a third of the hotel's windows. Those hiding inside, deceiving themselves, could hear the sound of shattering glass echoing in their ears.

Now they can feel the raging wind and rain outside. Is this really... is this their fate?

If they die in this instance, they will lose 50 million points!

Among them was one man whose face was particularly contorted. His gaze was fixed on the edge of the beach, on the spot where the two blurry figures had disappeared. Then, he gritted his teeth and ran over there.
