Chapter 673 [(*^▽^*)]
Strangely, the entire island seemed to have been created specifically for vacationing, with no dangerous places or animals on it.
Everything was wonderful—beautiful scenery, delicious food, and beautiful women.
Xue Rui: "I'm outside. Are you off work?"
Lin Leyou: "Yes, I'm in my room on the second floor of the hotel right now. When are you going to eat?"
Xue Rui thought for a moment, "Five o'clock."
Lin Leyou: "Okay, let's meet at the restaurant at five o'clock."
Xue Rui: "Okay, I'll wait for you."
As an employee, he was entitled to eat for free at the restaurant, as long as he carried his employee ID with him. He casually put the ID in his pocket and took out his phone to browse some news.
They then discovered that they could actually browse the news, but all the news was related to this resort island, and there was no other information to be found.
The news naturally contains basic information about the island, along with tourism promotions, accompanied by photos of azure seas and skies, beaches and waves from various angles, hotel interiors, and the island's scenery.
Just looking at these advertisements, they are indeed very attractive, and in reality, the island is indeed very nice.
After looking at it for a while and finding no further updates, he put down his phone and continued chatting with Xue Rui, "Have you found any clues outside?"
Xue Rui: "No, I can confirm that no one died in the places I went."
Lin Leyou: "Then they'll most likely make their move tonight."
Xue Rui: "The situation is a bit suspicious. The staff on this island, including you and other NPCs, should be responsible for ensuring the safety of tourists."
"So under what circumstances would all the tourists die? Would the staff still be alive at that time?"
Lin Leyou said, "That makes sense. To prevent a large number of tourist deaths, the staff would definitely choose... Wait a minute, if a tourist dies, the staff on the island would definitely contact people outside to handle it immediately. After all, the island isn't closed off..."
Xue Rui: "The island will be sealed off and cut off from the outside world."
Lin Leyou, "What circumstances do you think could lead to this?"
Right now, whether it's Lin Leyou lying in bed, Xue Rui searching for clues outside, or anyone else on this island, they all look into the distance.
In the distance, a vast expanse of dark clouds, accompanied by thunder, lightning, and howling winds, was hurtling towards the island.
They could already see the waves whipped up by the gale, and they could even feel the wind blowing, even though just a few minutes ago it was sunset and a beautiful evening glow.
But now...
Security personnel in various locations outside immediately began directing all tourists to return to their hotels. The island's public address system also broadcast warnings to tourists not to linger outside and to return to their hotels.
The players outside are naturally very obedient, since they only need to survive for five days to clear this 2S difficulty dungeon and obtain tens of millions of points!
They will definitely avoid all dangers, and this storm is a huge threat.
Lin Leyou slowly got up and walked to the window. He pushed open the door and went out onto the balcony, looking at the storm that seemed to be slowly approaching but was actually moving at an extremely fast speed.
Just then, a bolt of lightning struck down from the dark clouds. The lightning appeared in the sky as if it had torn a hole in it, but of course it disappeared quickly, followed by a second bolt of lightning.
Lin Leyou checked the time; it would be five o'clock in ten minutes. The storm would probably approach around five o'clock, and it might last for five days... No, eight hours had already passed, so it should be less than five days.
Xue Rui: "This storm came at just the right time; it arrived tonight."
Lin Leyou: "Let's check if there's a signal."
He took out his phone to check, and indeed there was no signal. "We've lost contact with the outside world. There's no signal, and there are no boats on this island. Even if there were, we couldn't sail out. It's very dangerous."
Xue Rui, "has become an isolated island."
Lin Leyou said, "Once the storm officially passes, the killing will probably begin."
Xue Rui thought for a moment, "Le You, you still have a lot of food in your space, right?"
Lin Leyou: "Yes, I ate quite a lot before, but I put a lot more in later, so it's definitely enough, don't worry."
After the killings on the island, there will likely be fewer people cooking, especially regarding ingredients. The island's ingredients are replenished every time a group of tourists arrives, so there is definitely enough food and fresh water.
There's no need to worry about that, but no matter what, there will definitely be people who are so unscrupulous as to contaminate the ingredients, so they have to prepare in advance.
Lin Leyou: "It's almost time. I'll go to the restaurant first. Are you on the first floor?"
Xue Rui said, "The first floor is overcrowded now. Everyone is on the first floor, and only a few people are going upstairs."
Lin Leyou: "Is everyone eating?"
Xue Rui walked all the way to the self-service restaurant. "There were about seventy or eighty people in the restaurant, not many."
Lin Leyou: "Okay, I'll come down now. Act well then, Xue Xiaorui."
Xue Rui chuckled, "Alright, I'll wait for you downstairs."
Lin Leyou didn't care how big the storm was outside. Even if the mission failed, it wouldn't matter. They could still afford to lose tens of millions of points, especially Lin Leyou. He could get tens of millions back by renting out his gold-plated defensive equipment for a period of time.
However... we still need to aim to clear the game. We can't just give up right away. We don't need to worry about losing points, but Xue Rui is different. His only source of points is the dungeon.
Even if it's just for Xue Rui's sake, he has to work hard.
He took the stairs directly from the second floor to the first floor and arrived at the buffet restaurant in just a few minutes. Looking around, he quickly spotted Xue Rui, but neither of them noticed that they were being watched from the shadows.
Either the other party wasn't looking at them, or the other party isn't here right now.
But... regardless of whether he is here or not, the two of them will have to interact. Lin Leyou took a plate and went to choose food, which all looked delicious, and Xue Rui's position was just a short distance in front of him.
The two didn't see each other for a moment, but then they were in the same spot a minute later. The first thing they noticed wasn't each other, but the ring on the other's finger.
Then they all looked up at the same time.
Lin Leyou paused for a moment, then smiled and said, "We meet again, our guest."
Xue Rui didn't speak; he simply stared intently at Lin Leyou before calmly saying, "Is that so?"
Lin Leyou was completely unaware. "Yes, I remember you chatting with me on the beach earlier. Could it be that you've forgotten?"
Xue Rui paused for a moment, then surprisingly continued Lin Leyou's words, "Of course I haven't forgotten, so would you like to have dinner with me now?"
Lin Leyou did not refuse, "It's after get off work now, so you're free to do whatever you want. Of course you can."
The two then walked together, each choosing some food they or the other liked. They then found a secluded corner to sit down, next to a floor-to-ceiling window where they could see outside.
It must be said that the hotel's windows are custom-made. No matter how strong the wind and rain are outside, it remains calm inside. The heavy rain is as if someone is pouring water directly onto the glass, making it impossible to see what's happening outside.
But that's okay, they don't care about what's happening outside.
Lin Leyou's gaze towards Xue Rui seemed to be hooked, "What would the guest like to eat?"
Xue Rui glanced at him. Others might not know, but Xue Rui could sense it herself. It had been a long time since they had seen each other since leaving the Happiness Community instance.
I think about him every single second in the real world, and now I just want to take him back to the room. He said in a cold tone, "See for yourself."
The person in front of him was indifferent, but Lin Leyou didn't give up. Faced with the other person's coldness, he simply shrugged with some regret, "Okay, I see..."
The two then sat facing each other, eating their own food without exchanging a single word until they finished their meal. Lin Leyou seemed to realize that the customer opposite her wasn't really interested in her, and decided to leave the restaurant alone.
Unexpectedly, Xue Rui caught up with them quickly. Lin Leyou looked somewhat surprised, but did not refuse his company. They left the restaurant and went to the hotel lobby.
They can see outside from the lobby, where the wind is so strong it can drown out everyone's voices inside.
Xue Rui said something, but Lin Leyou realized he couldn't hear it clearly. That shouldn't be the case. Given his physical condition, he shouldn't be unable to hear what the person standing next to him was saying. The only explanation was that Xue Rui deliberately spoke vaguely, so he couldn't hear it.
"What did you say, sir?"
Xue Rui turned to look at him. "I told you there's nothing to see. Come with me."
Lin Leyou didn't expect Xue Rui to be so direct, "Ah... now?"
Xue Rui nodded, and then, without asking for his consent, grabbed his wrist and pulled him forward, saying, "If you don't want to, you can break free from me now."
Lin Leyou stared in shock at Xue Rui's retreating figure, then his gaze fell on the wrist that was gripping his. After a moment's thought, he ultimately did not break free.
He followed Xue Rui's lead and walked forward with him until they reached the fifth floor, which was Xue Rui's room. After entering the room, Xue Rui settled him in the small living room.
He then went to draw all the curtains, before returning to the sofa. He pulled Lin Leyou, who was smiling and silent, into his arms and gently pressed her down onto the sofa. "Are you willing? Hmm?"
Lin Leyou nudged him twice, but couldn't budge him. "I said... what are you trying to do, sir?"
