"Don't die out there before Tao Qiang!"

Cheng Shuang...

Seeing the human cub opposite her looking at her speechlessly, Yi Tao suddenly felt that she had finally won a round.

She wasn't unaware that she had been led by the nose by the human child, but she understood what was best.

To live a wretched existence, or to take a gamble!

She is a great mythical beast, not a coward!

Once an opportunity is discovered, it will be seized greedily and never let go.

Tao was like that, and so was she!

Suddenly, Yi Tao's tense little face broke into a smile, and she said earnestly to Cheng Shuang, "Be nicer to me!"

Without giving Cheng Shuang any time to refuse, everything gradually froze, starting from the area around Shishan. The rotating Ferris wheel, the walking staff, and the food stall owners were all frozen as if a pause button had been pressed. Soon, this froze and spread to the entire food street and even the world outside the fence.

The sweeping smog paused in mid-air, and the monsters flying within the smog hovered motionless.

Apart from……

The exhausted maintainers appeared above the stone mountain in the blink of an eye, excluded from the frozen world below. They saw the two children standing in the center and angrily wanted to ask them questions, but suddenly their bodies and throats were bound, and they could only see and hear.

Including Sihai and Dabai, they tried desperately to break free, but to no avail. They could only look at Cheng Shuang with bewilderment and concern.

Yi Tao once again revealed her wicked nature, tilting her head and smiling brightly at Cheng Shuang: "Hey! The rules of the game are the rules of the game. Those who don't get your so-called return tickets can't leave! It's not that I'm not going to let them off the hook, it's just that they themselves are incapable!"

"Those who lack the ability will all be frozen here with us!"

"It's fine if it's not like that! There are cowards among them who have already given up but don't dare to end their own lives."

"Everyone is together, time stands still at this moment, how wonderful!"

Yi Tao watched the little girl's expression closely, hoping to see regret or hesitation on her face, but she was disappointed.

Cheng Shuang laughed too, casually stroking the round wooden carving in her hand, her eyes full of indifference. "You want me to feel guilty? Why do you think I would blame myself for someone else's failure? Yi Tao, you think too highly of me!"

The little girl's smile widened. "Thank you, Yi Tao!" She hadn't been sure what the return ticket was, but Yi Tao's actions made it clear that she had already obtained it; otherwise, Yi Tao wouldn't have frozen the entire space so quickly.

No creature that wants to continue living will cut off its last escape route.

Cheng Shuang pointed at the round wooden carving, looked at Sihai and the others, and silently said, "Return tickets!"

Their eyes lit up slightly.

But then the little girl turned to Yi Tao, whose face had twisted again, and said, "Little sister, the game is over. Let's unfreeze the time on our return tickets! We should go home!"

All the maintainers and tourists who owned the round wooden carvings instantly regained their ability to move freely, and they all took out their return tickets, and the Gate of Reincarnation opened directly above the stone mountain.

Cheng Shuang said a brief goodbye to Da Bai and the others, then released the wooden sculpture Tao that had been imprisoned in the spatial compartment, gave him a warm hug, and waved to Yi Tao, "You have to take good care of yourself too. Tao said he'll come back to see you! Before you starve to death!"

Yi Tao's already bad expression turned even worse. He bared his shark teeth and only uttered one word to her, "Get lost!"

Once the gates of reincarnation closed, Yi Tao finally withdrew her gaze. She looked forlornly at the frozen world, then touched the white headband on her head, her little face puffed out slightly. "You must come back after the gray particles starve to death and before I starve to death!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Yi Tao merged into the stone mountain and fell into an endless slumber...

The convenience store was still brightly lit.

Cheng Shuang exhaled a soft breath, opened her eyes, and looked around at her returning companions.

In an instant, her gaze froze.

One, two, three, four, five... one is missing!

Then she looked at Du Lanshan, a tall man with tears streaming down his face, clutching his blood-stained clothes tightly in his arms.

The little girl's heart skipped a beat as she heard Du Lanshan cry out, his eyes wide open, "Lushui! Lushui! I failed to take good care of you!"

'Ding! Attention! Maintenance worker Du Lushui at rest stop DZ-BLD12 has died!'

Everyone felt a heavy weight in their hearts, and unconsciously looked towards the wall displaying photos of each of their companions.

The photo of Du Lushui on the wall, who was smiling somewhat like a refined scoundrel, immediately turned gray after the electronic sound stopped.

The entire convenience store was filled with Du Lanshan's muffled sobs.

Her crying was heartbreaking.

'Ding! Congratulations to Cheng Shuang, the stationmaster of rest stop DZ-BLD12, for successfully freezing the Death Land (ticket name: Food Street), stopping time on its planet. Barring unforeseen circumstances, the Ash-type wanderers will self-destruct, giving the planet a chance to repair itself.'

Cheng Shuang was not surprised, but she also couldn't feel any joy after her companion's accident.

The little girl nestled into Liu Juan's arms, and the two of them, with tears in their eyes, were embraced by Liao Yuewei, who gently comforted them.

Du Jun had a cold face, and Sun Han silently lowered his head. They seemed to have no extra emotions, but it was not hard to see that their eyes were dull and lifeless, and they didn't even have the strength to treat the big and small wounds on their bodies.

The atmosphere in the entire convenience store was extremely frozen.

Even though they were prepared to face life and death, no one could feel at ease when the day actually came.
