Chapter 105 Safe House
In the cold wind, the young man with a broken arm ran laboriously to the outside of the space circle where huge energy was fluctuating.
Because the two actors who were to play this time were not fools, especially the Smiling Tiger Gan Mi, who had both high IQ and fighting ability, Xu Zhiyan had to cheer up and make full preparations.
Of course, there were some difficulties in the preparation.
Half an hour ago, he told the ghost to make him suffer more, meaning at least crush a few bones and make some knife wounds.
As a result, the other party stood there for a long time, holding his wrist and not taking any action.
Under Xu Zhiyan's repeated urging, the ghost hesitated for a long time and left a nail mark on his unconscious wrist!
The moment he saw the nail marks, Xu Zhiyan was stunned for a moment, and then he laughed like crazy.
Finally, he went back to the safe house to get a strong local anesthetic prop, and then he created the injury of a broken left arm and half of the palm missing.
Because they were afraid that he would lose too much blood, the ghosts and gods wrapped his hands in circles.
So when Xu Zhiyan stood in front of the space circle, he looked extremely miserable, as if he had just escaped from a fight.
The trapped Xinan looked at the embarrassed figure of the young man in front of him and couldn't help but shout.
"Just go on your own and leave us alone."
Gan Mi, who had just been moved by Xu Zhiyan's act of saving people, felt her scalp tingling when she heard this. She staggered to her feet and walked over, pushed Xinan away, and put her hand on the shrinking barrier.
"The energy inside this space is very stable, but correspondingly, the more stable the internal energy is, the more fragile the outside will be."
This is also the reason why he chose to use compressed air space to support this barrier.
Enduring the headache, Gan Mi looked at the power transmitted from the intersection of his palm and the barrier. He simply couldn't imagine how powerful the owner of this place was.
Seeing that Xinan still wanted to persuade Xu Zhiyan to leave first, he quickly spoke first.
"It's easy to break the cover from the outside. He's also losing too much blood. He needs our help."
He simply couldn't stand this idiot Xinan. It was really hard to cooperate with a guy like him who didn't take his own life seriously. Not only did he want to die himself, he also wanted to cut off other people's hope of survival.
Xu Zhiyan, who was outside the circle, carefully analyzed Gan Mi's lip movements.
After interpreting it all, when he looked at the baby-faced guy again, he felt murderous for a moment.
Absolutely right.
Gan Mi's understanding of this barrier was the same as what the ghosts and gods explained to him.
How long have they been trapped here?
It will only take two hours at most!
But in such a short time, Gan Mi has successfully analyzed the composition of this barrier and found a way to break it.
But this thought only flashed through my mind for a moment.
Compared with the gains from the entire copy space, letting Gan Mi go is the best choice.
However, with Gan Mi's words, he didn't have to explain how he knew the solution, which saved him some effort.
After preparing himself mentally, Xu Zhiyan nodded, took out a sharp dagger from the props, and stabbed it hard into the barrier of the space circle.
“Ka-ka-ka-ka-ka”
In an instant, a shattering sound was heard.
The space circle barrier that could not be easily penetrated from the inside immediately spread out spider-web-like patterns after being stabbed by the dagger.
As the fragments fell, the entire space circle could no longer trap the people inside.
The tip of the double-headed knife, which was glowing with a cold light, pierced into the crack. Xinan exerted a little force and completely shattered the space into pieces.
Gan Mi, who had escaped from the predicament, could no longer bear the headache and fell to the ground.
He struggled to ask Xinan to pull him up, and when he looked up, he saw a silver-haired young man approaching Xu Zhiyan with a serious face, taking out medical items.
“…”
Damn, he was obviously the most seriously injured among the three, why didn't anyone come to see him!
Also, why didn’t Xinan take out the healing items just now if he had them?
Although this thing cannot replenish mental power, it can alleviate the damage to the body caused by excessive use of mental power. At the very least, it can relieve headaches.
Just as Gan Mi was struggling to get up from the ground, Xu Zhiyan stood aside, looking at Xinan with light in his eyes.
That’s really great!
This mad dog is really too smart!
Holding the healing item handed to him by Xinan, he tried his best to hold back the curling of his lips.
[Name: Seed of Life]
[Level: S]
【Type: Treatment】
[Introduction: A seed that exudes life force, related to the forest system, with a small chance of dropping after killing a BOSS-level monster, very precious.]
[Notes: Place this item on your chest to block a fatal attack.]
S-level healing item!
It's an S-level item with very powerful functions! How much is it worth?
Xu Zhiyan bit his tongue, afraid that he would laugh out loud.
But he was afraid that Gan Mi would react after standing up, and he was also afraid that Xinan would go back on his word.
After he got the prop, he didn't care about the biting cold wind, unbuttoned the knife and stuffed the seed emitting a bright blue light into his chest.
It is worthy of being an S-level healing item.
The moment the seed touched the skin of the chest, it seemed to melt and seep into it, and a feeling of comfort emanated from the heart from the inside out.
Of course, it is safest to keep life-saving items on yourself.
Xu Zhiyan couldn't help it in the end.
He narrowed his eyes, smiled and thanked Xinan.
"Thank you. Although it can't heal my arm, I like it very much."
Xinan turned his head away and said nothing.
He seldom expresses gratitude to others. Such verbal expressions are too empty.
Xu Zhiyan, who had just taken out a layer of insurance for himself, was in a very good mood and didn't care about Xinan's silence at all.
After taking the props from Mad Dog, he turned his attention to Gan Mi who had just stood firm.
But thinking of the other party's cautious character, and the little time left before the passage was about to be closed, Xu Zhiyan temporarily gave up the idea of taking advantage of the other party.
"I'm so glad you two are okay. I found a way to leave."
He took the initiative to walk over and support Gan Mi, who was staggering and about to fall, and took out a bowl of steaming hot soup, a specialty of the safe house, from the prop library.
Seeing that the other party looked like he was lacking mental strength, Xu Zhiyan generously put a few pieces of low-quality candy in it.
However, he did not release too much, as he was worried that Gan Mi would recover too well and his IQ would be stable and difficult to deal with.
Gan Mi did not refuse and took the hot soup and drank it all.
It was just slightly sweet water for washing dishes, but after drinking it he clearly felt his headache was relieved a little.
"Hot soup in the safe house?"
He asked doubtfully.
"Well, my friend encountered a safe house in a dungeon before and got a large batch of goods, and the effect was pretty good."
Xu Zhiyan nodded and did some advertising at the same time.
Then he talked about how to leave.
"The one who caused this dungeon problem should be the owner of the previous haunted house 1402. Xinan was defeated by it at that time... Although I have a prop that can control the direction, it broke free later."
After Xu Zhiyan finished speaking, he suddenly realized that he did not seem to be lying. He did control the perverted painter.
He made up some random things about directional control, and used his still intact right hand to point in the direction of the community gate.
"...Luckily, I figured out the structure of this dungeon a few days ago, and found the way to other dungeons by the way."
Seeing Gan Mi fall into deep thought, Xu Zhiyan began to think about how to respond if the other party put forward different opinions.
But before Gan Mi could speak, Xinan stared at him with a frown.
"What did it cost you?"
"ah?"
Xu Zhiyan was stunned. He didn't expect the other party to ask this.
However, these words brought back the embarrassing memory of being sliced and pressed against the glass by a pervert.
He coughed lightly and pointed to his hanging left hand.
"My palm was cut off, I lost too much blood, and my forearm bones were shattered. Is this the price?"
Fearing that the two would ask some weird questions again, Xu Zhiyan hurriedly asked them to leave: "It's not a big deal. Isn't this how all the players got here? Let's go quickly. My props won't be able to trap it for too long."
Xinan looked in the direction where the loud rumbling sound came from, suddenly picked up the double-edged knife, and made a beautiful knife flower in his hand.
"Now is the best chance to kill it. Gan Mi, can you hold on a little longer?"
There was fire in his eyes.
The experience of being beaten in person was so painful that he didn't want to miss any opportunity to get back at the opponent.
"You go first, Gan Mi and I will go."
Xinan didn't want to involve Xu Zhiyan anymore.
Xu Zhiyan held Gan Mi's hand and paused without saying a word.
Anyway, his purpose is just to prove that he is not the only one who got out of the copy alive. If Xinan is willing to die himself, it would not be a bad thing to have one less mad dog who kills people indiscriminately in the world.
Gan Mi, who had just recovered a little, had an expression on his face that said "Are you fucking sick?"
Although he really didn't want to bother with Xinan anymore, Gan Mi still took into consideration the friendship between future colleagues, so he raised his hand and threw out a prop.
There was a sizzling sound, and Xinan fell down.
Before Xu Zhiyan could react, he felt a dark shadow flash by, and then he found that Gan Mi beside him also fell down.
"...You may have to work hard to lead us out next." Gan Mi said while lying on the ground with a look of despair on his face.
Xinan's current condition is much better than his. If he doesn't do something drastic, it will be difficult to control him given his overdrawn appearance and the pale-faced Xu Zhiyan beside him.
Seeing that the only young man standing had confusion in his eyes, Gan Mi explained in a low voice.
"This is a two-person repair item, but the two of us can't move while it's repairing."
This thing is rather useless, it repairs very slowly, and it can only repair two people's injuries each time. Gan Mi estimates that based on his current condition, he will not be able to move for at least ten hours.
However, the props were used up, and he felt a little uncomfortable when he looked at Xu Zhiyan's astonished expression.
In fact, he was unwilling to believe that he was saved by Xu Zhiyan.
As a businessman, he knew very well that if Xu Zhiyan saved him, he must have made some profit from him. It was impossible for him to do it for free like a good man.
But Gan Mi could not forget the words she said to save the young man when she saw him covered in blood across the barrier just now.
His heart beat uncontrollably for a long time before slowly calming down.
Even Gan Mi himself didn't know why he suddenly trusted the person in front of him so much.
Different from Gan Mi, whose inner activities are complicated.
Xu Zhiyan felt like he was suffocating.
Why did the situation turn out like this!
His plan was for the three of them to leave the community together, find the passage, enter the copy that was about to end, and then escape smoothly.
This mad dog is really crazy. I don’t know what’s wrong with him, but he still wants to go back and kill the BOSS.
Now the two men were lying on the ground like two pieces of wood. Xu Zhiyan wished he could kill them all with two swords each...
Fifteen minutes later.
Two immobile people were randomly piled on a blue cart. A thin young man with a broken arm was pulling the cart with his right hand with great effort, walking along the road in the Meimeng community.
The weight of two grown men, plus the cart from the sweet potato shop owner.
Adding the weight together, even with wheels, it was still heavy enough for Xu Zhiyan, who was physically weak.
The sweet rice was piled underneath, and the sound was a little muffled.
"Can we switch positions? I'm about to vomit because of this idiot."
Xinan hasn't spoken since he was tricked, and seems to be sulking.
After hearing this, Xu Zhiyan rolled his eyes out of sight of the two of them and replied with a gasp, "Time is running out, just make do with it."
After saying that, he pulled the cart harder and walked out of the community...
Cracks kept appearing in the sky above the dark city, and dents appeared on the black asphalt road. It seemed that the city would completely fall apart soon.
Four vortex-shaped passages of different sizes with flashing lights appeared on the street outside the Meimeng Community.
Seeing this, Xu Zhiyan could only speed up.
But thinking of his identity as a victim, he stopped the cart outside the four aisles, and with great effort turned Gan Mi who was trapped underneath over, and asked.
"There are four passages here. Can you analyze which one we should go to?"
Gan Mi glanced at Xu Zhiyan's anxious expression and believed what he said a little more.
He closed his eyes and felt the air coming from the four channels.
A few seconds later, Gan Mi opened his eyes, coughed twice and said, "Go to the last passage."
"Why?"
Xu Zhiyan was very shocked.
Gan Mi's choice was actually the same as the answer given by the ghosts and gods.
Could it be that his control over the air could allow him to see the progress of the dungeon?
Gan Mi sighed.
"The air quality in the first three copies was very poor, and one of them was hot and dry."
Although he was not sure whether the first three were normal copies, compared with these three channels, the taste of the last channel was very familiar to him.
"There is a strong smell of blood in the air of the fourth passage. It is the smell of human blood."
This is a sign that the copy is in progress, or even at the end.
Xu Zhiyan almost applauded Gan Mi after hearing what he said.
He pushed the cart toward the last aisle.
Before entering the door, Xu Zhiyan seemed to suddenly sense something, stood still and looked behind him.
The gate of the Meimeng Community inexplicably became pitch black, but he could feel a familiar gaze falling on him.
Even though he couldn't see it, he knew it.
The ghosts were standing there looking at him.
The black blood vessels that appeared from nowhere carefully placed on Xu Zhiyan's palm, making him feel a little itchy.
Feeling the words made up of the blood vessels in the palm of his hand, Xu Zhiyan couldn't help but smile.
'I'll wait for you at home'
Gan Mi noticed that the cart had stopped and couldn't help asking, "What happened?"
"Cough." Xu Zhiyan coughed lightly, restrained his smile, and made his voice sound more sad.
"It's broken free, we have to leave quickly."
After saying that, he pushed the little blue cart, used a stabilizing prop before entering the dungeon, and entered the passage leading to the new dungeon.
…
In the darkness, a strange feeling of weightlessness came over me.
The game system panels of the three people suddenly jumped up.
【The copy is trying to connect. 】
【The copy was successfully connected!!!】
Three exclamation marks are enough to make people feel the mood of the game system.
Xu Zhiyan and Gan Mi also breathed a sigh of relief at the same time.
In the darkness, Xu Zhiyan kept explaining to the two that he had just used a very powerful S-level stabilization item to successfully enter the copy.
"I hope the main system will know how hard we've worked to save ourselves and compensate me for my losses."
He sighed twice, feeling a little impatient.
[Detected that a new copy is about to be logged in]
【Ding! Login successful! 】
【Welcome players to the Death Sanatorium】
[Ding! Three people with special identities detected, switching current status.]
Perhaps the copy was stolen, which would be a very serious mistake for the main system.
After the copy was successfully connected, it immediately detected the three players who had left the nightmare community and immediately made a rectification plan for the BUG.
[Congratulations to the player for successfully escaping from the Collapse instance. Currently, it is detected that the Death Sanatorium instance is in progress. The system will assign you a new identity. ]
[You only need to wait for the instance to end, and you can successfully leave the instance with the current instance players after the instance ends. ]
[New identity [Advanced Ward NPC Patient]]
Xu Zhiyan held onto the cart and looked at the scene that was revealed after the black surrounding him switched to a new color.
They appeared in the garden.
This is probably a more upscale scene in a sanatorium, with green grass, fragrant flowers, and a fresh scent in the air.
"The main system is pretty good. It knows that the three of us are in poor condition and has allowed us to recuperate."
Xu Zhiyan smiled weakly, quite satisfied with his current situation.
Although he had been given anesthesia, one of his arms could not move and he still felt somewhat uncomfortable.
Gan Mi was in no mood to appreciate the beautiful scenery.
He had just been casually piled on a cart by Xu Zhiyan, unable to move. He had accidentally flipped over when he lost weight, and was hanging face down in the air facing the mud in the flower bed.
"…Please help me turn over."
He could no longer bear it and had to ask Xu Zhiyan for help.
"More contact with nature will help your recovery." Xu Zhiyan replied calmly.
Now that the dungeon has been completed, he was so exhausted from pushing the cart just now, and he was helping to turn it over? Gan Mi must be dreaming!
However, after spending time together just now, Gan Mi knew how to communicate with Xu Zhiyan.
"Ten thousand points, help me turn over, and I'll pay you when you're done." His face was about to be poked into the flower bed!
When Xu Zhiyan heard that the 10,000 points could be paid on the spot, his expression changed immediately. He bent down and grabbed Gan Mi's collar, pulled her up, muttering to himself.
"Come here, Master Gan! I'll help you see the beauty of this garden!"
"...Xu Zhiyan, you're almost there."
Gan Mi listened to the other party's ridicule, and the veins on his forehead throbbed.
"Just refresh the panel. Don't move, I can refresh it myself. Thank you for your patronage."
After receiving 10,000 points, Xu Zhiyan was instantly in high spirits.
Soon, a large group of NPC nurses appeared from somewhere, screaming and packing up the three people and sending them to the VIP ward.
The process was a bit messy, but the results were great.
The new ward is bright and spacious, with a full range of facilities, including fruits, snacks, and flat-screen TVs.
It can be considered a scaled-down version of a shell, except for its repairability.
Thanks to Gan Mi and Xinan's inability to move, Xu Zhiyan was also assigned a wheelchair and received treatment as a completely paralyzed patient.
The three of them lay side by side on the hospital bed. Xu Zhiyan held the remote control in his hand and chewed some dried fruit. On the large projection screen in front of him, the cartoon he had chosen was playing.
When the last nurse was about to leave, Gan Mi, who was lying on the bed closest to the door, called out to her.
"Can you move that idiot sitting by the window to another ward? I'm afraid my intelligence will decline if I share a room with him."
Although he had been in the immobile recovery state for less than an hour, Gan Mi still felt a little annoyed when she saw Xu Zhiyan happily watching cartoons on the middle bed.
What cartoons are you watching?
Wouldn’t it be nice to read some financial news?
But when she caught a glimpse of the black-haired young man's upturned mouth corners, Gan Mi couldn't say anything to stop him, and could only vent her anger on Xinan who was sitting by the window.
Yes, if it weren’t for the idiot Mad Dog, he wouldn’t be in such a mess now.
Unfortunately, although the main system treated the three people favorably, it did not give them much autonomy.
After all, they are NPCs and must abide by the rules of the sanatorium.
After the NPC nurse explained in a gentle voice, she closed the door for the three people.
Xu Zhiyan was completely unaware of Gan Mi's abnormality and was happily watching an animation he hadn't watched for a long time, completely relaxing.
The punishment copy ends.
I thought I could only make money from the players, but I didn't expect that in the end even the copies would be taken over by the system and I made a lot of money.
The player who entered the punishment copy this time was also relatively powerful, allowing him to obtain the Magic Hat and the Seed of Life, things that cannot be bought with money.
Thinking of this, Xu Zhiyan glanced at Gan Mi, who seemed unhappy, and took the initiative to speak.
"In fact, I already knew how to leave the dungeon. I even used this information to exchange a magic hat with He Zui."
I'd like to confess my feelings to everyone now that they are in such a bad state, so that we can have some fellow patients.
After this instance is over, Gan Mi will definitely know that he let He Zui go. Rather than letting the other party come to him unhappy in the future, it is better to talk it out now.
Gan Mi was stunned.
magician?
He had put this man out of his mind long ago.
Although he really wanted the magic hat, Gan Mi didn't feel the slightest bit of dissatisfaction when he saw it fall into the hands of someone else.
"Well, you deserve it."
The words Xu Zhiyan had prepared were stuck in his throat.
I didn't expect Gan Mi to be so generous that he didn't even take this kind of survival copy artifact seriously.
The two chatted for a while longer, Gan Mi couldn't move and was a little impatient.
"How long will it take for this instance to end?"
Xu Zhiyan called up the panel and took a look, then sighed, "The main system progress shows that the BOSS has appeared. This is a two-and-a-half-star instance. It is predicted that in four hours, a player will be able to successfully decrypt it."
"What if the player fails to decrypt the code?"
Xinan, who had not spoken for a long time, couldn't help but interrupt and ask.
As if to answer the question, the main system suddenly popped up a window.
[The dungeon passage will only be opened if a player decrypts or kills the BOSS. If all players are wiped out, the NPC will need to manually kill the BOSS to repair the dungeon. ]
[If the player group is wiped out, the boss has a certain chance to attack NPCs indiscriminately. ]
Gan Mi saw the content and couldn't help but ask Xu Zhiyan: "It's only a two-and-a-half-star dungeon. Four hours is too long. Go kill the BOSS and we can leave early."
He really had enough of lying down.
Xu Zhiyan scratched his hair, his mood still relatively calm, and shook his head frantically to refuse.
"don't want."
"Killing bosses is time-consuming and laborious, and there is no profit. I won't do it."
He would never do such a losing business.
Suddenly, a scream sounded from outside the window, followed by huge and heavy footsteps.
“Ah ...
“Boom—boom—boom—”
A man in a hospital gown, obviously a player, ran past the three people's ward.
Behind him, there was a huge and bloated figure - the BOSS of the current copy, the director of the sanatorium.
The two of them chased each other and left after a while.
Xu Zhiyan was still able to move, so he ran off the bed and stood at the door of the ward to take a look.
"laugh--"
The running player was quickly caught up.
Blood was splattered on the wall.
“…How miserable.”
Xu Zhiyan happened to see the other person's sudden death and couldn't help but turn his head away.
At this moment, the BOSS who had just moved over suddenly turned around and stared at the open door of the ward.
A bad feeling came over him. Xu Zhiyan pursed his lips, called up the system panel, and asked, "Request to check the remaining number of players in the current instance."
【Question received.】
[Detection completed, the number of players remaining in the current instance is 0. ]
[Detected that the boss is about to go berserk...]
Xinan and Gan Mi apparently also received the message.
The three of them looked at each other.
…
In the live broadcast room of the player who just died, the audience sighed, but someone discovered the problem.
[Ah, the last one died too. This dungeon is really difficult.]
[Damn it, I bet on this idiot, what the hell is he doing? I'm speechless, please compensate me for my points!]
[Wait, why is it that he is dead, but the live broadcast room hasn't kicked me out yet. ]
【Is there still hope? 】
[What's wrong with this perspective? Why does it keep spinning around... Wait, damn, why is the view stuck on the BOSS? ]
This was the first time the audience encountered this situation and they were very confused. No one understood why the perspective was stuck on the BOSS's head.
But the next second, something even more shocking happened to them.
[What the hell? What the hell? ]
[Wheelchair Arhat? These people? Three?]
[Wait! Why do these three people in hospital gowns look so familiar? What the hell? Is the one under the sullen face the mad dog Xinan? ]
[Help! Is that Boss Gan above? Right!!]
【Hahahahahahahahahahahaha! What the hell is this! 】
[Who is pushing the cart? Damn! He turned around! Oh my god! It's Xiao Baiwan? What's going on with the three of them? ]
In the center of the screen, in the vision of Dean BOSS, a thin young man with one hand hanging down was pushing a wheelchair that was accelerating wildly and running towards the safe passage at a high speed.
Gan Mi, who was casually piled on top with a strange posture, was still shouting.
"Fuck you Xu Zhiyan! Take the elevator! The elevator! The stairs won't work! Your shitty luck is worse than Xie Lingyi's!"
Gan Mi was about to faint. He suddenly realized that nothing good had happened to him since he met Xu Zhiyan.
"The boss is here. Can you please learn from Xinan and shut your mouth and be a quiet mute?" Xu Zhiyan pushed the cart with one hand, sweating profusely, and couldn't help but retort.
Although Xinan, who was pressed under Gan Mi, did not say anything, his expression suddenly relaxed a little after hearing these words.
Gan Mi got angry and spat at him.
"You're so happy! Is he praising you?"
Speechless, these two people are definitely his nemesis.
