Chapter 23 Life hangs on a thread

After leaving the campus, Jiang Jiu didn't plan to waste his energy, so he found a bus and got on it. There were all kinds of people on the bus. Jiang Jiu carefully observed their expressions, trying to find some flaws, but the facts still disappointed Jiang Jiu. It looked no different from reality.

However, Jiang Jiu was not too disappointed. If the strength of the first generation was only this much, she might be very disappointed. This is normal now.

Looking out the window, the scenery outside changed rapidly, the trees, roads and vehicles were all receding, and the breeze blew in through the car window, gently caressing my cheeks.

Jiang Jiu was in a trance. Sometimes she would think, if only this were real. No one knew how much she wanted to return to the real world.

but.....

The faces of Chi Li, Yu Zimo... and others flashed through Jiang Jiu's mind, and his expression became firm.

Even if she was stupid, she understood that they were real in the illusion now. No matter if they were trying to save her or for other reasons, if she really died in this illusion, no one would be able to save them.

They had no memory of being in the world of cultivation and had no idea who their target was.

She is the only one who possesses all the memories. Only if she survives and defeats the conspiracy and trickery of the first generation can they get out of this illusion safely.

"Actually, I can do it alone."

Jiang Jiu closed her eyes helplessly, not knowing whether she should feel sorry for them being forced to immerse themselves in the illusion together, or should dislike them for increasing the responsibility they put on her.

She closed her eyes and was thinking, but at this moment the environment around her began to become strange. The noisy chatting, moving sounds, and the sound of the bus engine all disappeared from her ears.

In just two seconds, Jiang Jiu noticed something unusual around him.

She suddenly opened her eyes, and the scene she saw made Jiang Jiu's hair stand on end. At this moment, all the passengers on the bus turned towards her and looked at her expressionlessly.

The lights in the bus had been turned off at some point, and only the sign above reminding passengers to arrive at their stop was still scrolling in red light font.

The carriage was strangely dim with a mixture of red, and everyone's eyes were faintly glowing green.

Jiang Jiu quickly turned around and saw the passengers in the back of the car staring at her, just like...

It was as if it was going to pounce on her and eat her up in the next second.

A creepy feeling instantly spread throughout his body, and Jiang Jiu's body was so stiff that he hardly dared to move.

Jiang Jiu glanced out the car window and saw that the sky outside had turned pure black at some point. A large number of fireballs like meteorites and shooting stars were flying towards the ground, just like the end of the world.

At this moment, a huge fireball just brushed past the bus and fell on the green belt on the side of the road. The flames suddenly grew larger and instantly illuminated the entire car.

The huge explosion sounded in Jiang Jiu's ears, causing her heart to tremble.

Jiang Jiu forced his brain to calm down quickly. Now was not the time to be afraid. Such a scene only showed that the first generation was anxious.

It thought it had woven a perfect illusion that could kill her, but she discovered the flaw.

The bus was still moving forward at a high speed. The surrounding city and roads had been hit by fireballs and were full of dust and black pits. At first glance, it looked like the end of the world.

Jiang Jiu stood up and picked up the glass safety hammer hanging on the bus. She definitely couldn't get off the bus in a normal way now, so the only option was to jump off the bus.

She took off the safety hammer and heard an extremely loud alarm sound from inside the entire bus, so piercing that Jiang Jiu couldn't help but want to cover her ears.

All the passengers stood up at the same time, their empty eyes reflecting only Jiang Jiu's figure.

Jiang Jiu was startled by their actions, but she gritted her teeth and smashed the glass on the bus with a safety hammer.

Accompanied by the sound of breaking glass, the passengers began to move, surrounding Jiang Jiu in a slow and terrifying manner.

“!”

The horror in Jiang Jiu's eyes could not be concealed at all. This scene, which was comparable to a horror movie, was constantly shocking her nerves. God knows that the thing she feared most in her life was ghosts.

When I first met Yu Zimo, I was almost scared to death by him.

At the same time, a fireball hit the top of the bus, sparks flew everywhere and there was a loud bang. The front glass was smoked black on the spot, making it impossible to see the road ahead clearly.

However, even so, the bus did not stop, but instead sped up and headed straight ahead.

The entire car body was burning fiercely, and the temperature inside the car continued to rise, like a huge steamer. It probably wouldn't take too much time for the flames to spread into the car.

Jiang Jiu's forehead was covered with sweat. She took a deep breath. She had no other choice now. If she didn't jump out of the car, she might die in the car or in a car accident.

If you jump out of the car, at least there is a chance of survival.

Jiang Jiu gritted his teeth, and at the last moment when he was almost caught by the passengers, he jumped out of the car window and fell straight into one of the few intact green belts.

The resistance of the branches stopped Jiang Jiu's body from rolling forward due to inertia, but Jiang Jiu was also scratched by the branches and his body was covered with blood.

The moment he fell into the bushes, Jiang Jiu felt a sharp pain in his chest and limbs, filling his entire brain.

“....”

Jiang Jiu turned over with difficulty, and all he saw were the fireballs falling from the sky. It was as beautiful as a meteor shower, but it was a spectacle filled with the breath of destruction.

She smiled bitterly and pulled the corners of her mouth together. Who could come to save her in this situation?

Jumping out of the car caused serious injuries to the body, and even standing up was difficult, let alone avoiding these extremely destructive fireballs.

It seemed that all she could do now was to wait for death, waiting for a fireball to fall right where she was lying and burn her completely.

It seems like even if I jump out of the car, I won’t be able to survive...

If she had known...if she had known...she would have been 100% prepared and run out of the city to check what the situation was outside.

It's still too reckless.

Jiang Jiu closed her eyes weakly, the thought of not wanting to die lingering in her mind. Finally, she forced her eyes open, endured the severe pain, and supported her upper body with her arm, which was probably broken.

The excessive force caused her chest to heave violently, and she didn't want to give up her life.

Suddenly, a helpless male voice came to Jiang Jiu's ears, which was like a beam of light shining into her heart.

"How did you get yourself into such a mess again?"

Chi Li's pure white suit was out of place in this apocalyptic wasteland scene, but in Jiang Jiu's eyes he was like an angel.

"Save me."

There was a faint smell of ginger wine, but he still spoke with difficulty.
