Chapter 674 [(*^▽^*)]
Within this instance, Xue Rui certainly couldn't do anything intimate, but seizing the opportunity to enjoy a little something nice wouldn't be bad. "What do you think?"
His hand stroked Lin Leyou's neck and the back of his neck, as if to comfort him and tell him not to be too nervous.
Lin Leyou couldn't take it anymore. What if he couldn't resist touching him like this? He grabbed Xue Rui's hand and said, "Guest, please let go of me. It's not appropriate right now."
Xue Rui raised an eyebrow and gradually released his grip. "Then when do you think would be a good time?"
Lin Leyou answered matter-of-factly, "Is there even a question? Of course, it'll be when we leave this island. Once we're outside, we can come and go as we please, okay?"
Xue Rui didn't answer directly, but instead touched his chin and then withdrew his hand. "Then it's settled. When the time comes, come with me."
Lin Leyou leaned over and gently kissed his cheek. "Okay, guest."
Lin Leyou felt that he had acted quite well and was secretly laughing out loud, but he managed to hold it in on the surface. He just didn't know what Xue Rui was thinking.
Xue Rui: "You'll be staying with me for the next few days, is that alright?"
Lin Leyou raised an eyebrow. "Of course, no problem. I like you too."
Xue Rui leaned closer to him, staring intently into his eyes, "Do you like my money?"
Lin Leyou responded with a smile, "It's normal to like both money and people, isn't it?"
Xue Rui slowly stood up and sat down next to him. "You're right. If you said you only liked me, I definitely wouldn't believe you. After all, I have more money."
Looking at Xue Rui's nouveau riche appearance, Lin Leyou felt he couldn't hold back anymore. This was the first time in both his lives that he had seen Xue Rui like this; it was novel and hilarious.
Xue Rui probably noticed that Lin Leyou was trying not to laugh, since he couldn't hold back anymore and probably showed some emotion. After that, he stopped chatting with Lin Leyou.
What if Lin Leyou really can't help but burst out laughing? The hotel's soundproofing is indeed quite good, but they can't guarantee that no one will actually hear it.
Xue Rui actually went to the window to look outside and saw that the balcony was flooded. The storm had come at just the right time.
Lin Leyou silently walked behind him, and the two did not speak directly, but communicated in secret.
"Tonight might be the time for a massacre."
Xue Rui said, "I'll go find those three officials and work together."
Lin Leyou: "Then how are you going to explain my question?"
Xue Rui thought for a moment but couldn't come up with a solution. He suggested that by befriending an NPC, one could obtain a lot of relevant information.
After all, the information that the NPC staff in the dungeon can obtain is sometimes something that players cannot get. Having an NPC as an inside agent is certainly the best thing ever.
Lin Leyou, "Have you thought of a solution?"
Xue Rui said, "I'll say that I'm trying to seduce you into becoming my lover, and then use you to get some information about the NPCs."
Lin Leyou suddenly realized that this method was indeed feasible. "But you can't take me with you, right? You'll have to go and communicate with them yourself. Even if you and those three official players are included, there are only four of us. My task is to ensure the survival of at least five players."
Xue Rui said, "Even if we join forces with them, they won't live with us. Besides, I don't think that out of 350 players, even if we try our best, not even five of them will survive."
Lin Leyou was silent for a while, "I feel like something is not right. This storm will definitely not last for long, four or five days at most."
Xue Rui: "That means it will end together when the instance ends."
Lin Leyou: "Hmm... so there must be something else going on. Can you guess?"
Xue Rui, "Is there a traitor among the players?"
Lin Leyou stared at him for a long time. "Do you think that person who impersonated you to approach me was an NPC played by a resident, or a traitor among the players?"
Xue Rui said, "I used a disguise item. I could be a resident or a player. It's not certain yet. We'll see later."
Lin Leyou, "If he were to impersonate you or someone else and commit violence on the island, you would definitely be arrested by the staff and locked up until the dungeon ends."
Xue Rui: "It's more likely that it's a resident."
Lin Leyou, "Why do you think that?"
Xue Rui thought subconsciously, "After all, from the beginning until now, the other party seems to be very familiar with and at ease when facing this instance."
Lin Leyou, "You suspect this person has been to this instance before, so they must be a resident."
Xue Rui said, "After all, players cannot go to the same instance more than once through normal means."
This person clearly entered the instance normally.
Lin Leyou: "It's not certain yet. I think it's more likely to be a player, since I know you."
Xue Rui was silent for a while, then said, "Let's see. Maybe I'm wrong."
Lin Leyou: "It's almost seven o'clock now, are you still going out?"
Just then, a terrifying flash of lightning struck outside, illuminating the entire room through the windowpane for only a moment, followed by a clap of thunder.
Even when they were indoors or upstairs, they could feel the thunder shaking the entire island.
Lin Leyou looked at the floor beneath his feet and felt the ground shaking.
He then looked outside. The rain had lessened slightly, but the gale hadn't subsided at all. The beach, which had been a beautiful expanse of blue sky and sea during the day, was now dominated by surging waves.
Xue Rui, "Want to go for a walk?"
Lin Leyou raised an eyebrow. Why did he speak again?
"I'm fine with anything, whatever you say."
Xue Rui took his hand and led him to the bedroom. "Forget it, it's not fun outside at all. It's better to stay in the room."
After saying that, she pushed Lin Leyou onto the bed. He didn't resist and just leaned comfortably against the pillow. Anyway, he had already taken a shower after get off work, so he could just go to sleep now.
Xue Rui lay down beside him, and the two rested together indoors, not doing anything, except that Lin Leyou would occasionally slip his hand under the blanket and slap Xue Rui's hand that was pinching his waist.
Hotel lobby on the first floor.
Although many people were bored and had already returned to their rooms, a number of players remained. The staff checked all the hotel's doors and windows, making sure they were all closed, before gathering in the lobby. As for the surveillance...
Most of the external surveillance cameras have been destroyed, and the remaining ones probably won't last much longer. However, the internal surveillance cameras in the hotel are still intact.
People were whispering among themselves, exchanging glances, but none of them knew when the storm would end.
The hotel manager was currently holding a meeting with several executives in his office.
How's the hotel?
“Outside the hotel, there are surveillance cameras everywhere, but only three are still working properly. The rest have all been destroyed. Just by looking at it with the naked eye, you can see the trees outside being blown down and the vegetation being swept away by the roots and soil.”
"The hotel has enough food, fruits and vegetables, and drinking water. After all, the guests will be replaced every five days. The hotel stores food and water for ten days according to the rule of five hundred people, so I have no problem."
"Manager, there might be a problem with the power supply. Although we have backup power, the current power consumption might only last for three to four days."
The manager frowned. "How could this be? I remember the backup power supply should be able to support the entire island's electricity consumption for six to seven days, so why is it only four to five days?"
"Manager, the backup power... is only at 70-80%, not..."
He spoke haltingly, but everyone present knew what he meant by not finishing his sentence. The manager was completely bewildered. "What happened? Why did this mistake occur?"
Normally, it would be fine to use solar energy to supplement it, but where can we do that now?
Still no signal?
"No, all signals are completely cut off, and we can't contact the outside at all. But this storm won't last long. I estimate it will be over in a few hours."
Everyone present thought the same thing. The manager took a deep breath and said, "Alright, since that's the case, then you all should do your jobs well and make sure the guests are safe, understand?"
"Yes, manager."
After the meeting ended, everyone left the office to go about their own business. The raging wind and rain outside made it impossible to see what was happening inside the hotel; there were just many people inside looking out through the glass.
They seemed to want to go out and have some fun, to see if the strong wind could really blow them away. Of course, when they saw a tall tree, more than ten meters high, being uprooted and swept into the sky and disappeared, they all gave up on that idea.
Just kidding, all ten of them combined don't weigh as much as that tree.
"Are you staying here? Let's go back to our room. There's no point in staying here."
"You guys can go back if you want. I'm going to the restaurant for a late-night snack later, so I won't go up. I'll come up after I finish eating. Bye-bye."
"Didn't you eat a lot just now? Are you hungry again now?"
"Yeah, I'm hungry again. You know I have a big appetite, don't you?"
So, of the four players, two returned to their room, two went to continue eating, and gradually all the players who had been lingering in the lobby left, until finally, only two or three remained.
Lin Leyou was scrolling through his phone. Of course, there were no useful messages or information on the phone, but to pass the time, he was playing games on his phone until after nine o'clock in the evening.
Xue Rui patted Lin Leyou's stomach. "Want to go downstairs for a late-night snack?"
Lin Leyou thought for a moment. He had only pretended to eat some food down there, but he wasn't really full. It wouldn't be a problem for him to go down for a late-night snack now. "Let's go."
When Xue Rui opened the door and went outside, the corridor was very quiet and there was no one there.
