Chapter 176 Find a Car
Time always slipped away like quicksand, passing by in an instant. Only three days remained for this dungeon. I had no idea what was going on in the real world, but I finally managed to connect with some foreign streamers and rouse several of them, clearly of other nationalities.
It's impossible to say they don't have any complaints about their SC opportunities being used to awaken streamers from other countries; after all, it's lifesaving. But those streamers also know that they were first saved by others' SC, and if they could return to the real world, they could use this opportunity to exchange for more favorable conditions for themselves and their families.
But for those streamers of other nationalities who were awakened, the situation was actually awkward, as they didn't know what to do. They woke up too late, and it was luck that saved their lives. After waking up, they were even more nervous, perhaps even worse than before.
But it was impossible not to be awake. The conditions for passing the level were clearly written: escape from the hospital. If I wasn't awake, even escaping wouldn't be possible. Now I might die, but if I didn't wake up, I would definitely die. It's just that if I didn't wake up, death might be easier.
For a moment, they didn't know whether being awakened was a good thing or not.
While they were lost, Robert found them. He told the newly awakened anchors the details of Lin Xi and her group's escape plan. As expected, they quickly went looking for Lin Xi and proposed escaping with her.
This was completely different from Robert's original assumption. In his mind, they would riot, just like he had done with Lin Xi. Once a conflict occurred, given Lin Xi's personality, he would never accept them into his team.
The problem is that there are a lot of stupid people in the world, but there are definitely not that many, especially when it comes to their own safety.
Lin Xi's livestream was a household name. Even before they entered the world of Rule Weird Stories, even if they weren't interested in her, they would still watch her livestreams, fearing they wouldn't know what to do if they were in the same situation. Under such circumstances, how could they possibly come into conflict with Lin Xi?

Besides, Lin Xi was obviously a soft-hearted person. If they went against her, she would lose her temper and not care about them at all. But if they shamelessly knelt on the ground and cried bitterly about their elderly parents and young children, they might even win some sympathy from Lin Xi and let them join.
In fact, Lin Xi did think so. In the previous school dungeon, there were Southeast Asians in their team, and Lin Xi didn't exclude them just because they were from different nationalities. He still successfully led them out of the school dungeon. Although they died in other dungeons later, Lin Xi wasn't the kind of person who would be so cold-blooded as to abandon them.
The premise is, don’t cause trouble.
Lin Xi also told them bluntly: "I will only take you out by the way. If you hinder me in any way, not only will I ignore you, but I will also contribute to your death." They all nodded in agreement obediently, and waited quietly for three days to catch a ride with Lin Xi and escape together.
In order to leave a good impression on Lin Xi, they sold Robert out in a matter of minutes.
"It was Robert. Robert told us that you have a way to escape but you will definitely not take us with you. We heard it from him!"
Lin Xi nodded after learning about this, but she didn't say anything. She wasn't angry at all; there was no point in arguing with a dying man. Robert, however, was uneasy, especially when he learned that the group, not only didn't argue with Lin Xi, but had instead submitted to her. He was furious.
He thought again of the pain when Lin Xi hit him in the face. When Robert saw Lin Xi, he couldn't help but shiver, fearing that Lin Xi would hit him again, but Lin Xi didn't come. Not only did he not come, he also pretended not to see him.
Lin Xi didn't have time to care about him now. There were 20 anchors in the team, including himself. The idea of rushing out together was not feasible. He had to find another way. The first thing Lin Xi thought of was to find a bus, but where could he find one?
She walked around the hospital, but couldn't find a car. Then Lin Xi thought of the No. 4 bus driver. She'd been in the dungeon for thirty days, and she hadn't even seen him. It was really rude. So, on the afternoon of the third to last day, during her free time, Lin Xi sneaked out of the hospital and found a nearby bus stop.
It wasn't bus No. 4, but bus No. 421. The driver of bus No. 421 saw that he was wearing a hospital gown and told him to get off or he would go see a doctor at the hospital. Sure enough, these ghosts nearby were connected to the hospital, otherwise he wouldn't have said he was going to see a doctor.
The most terrifying thing is that they might all be accomplices of the hospital. If the anchors escape early and are then sent back by these people nearby, it would be unimaginable.
This statement might be of some use to others, but it was completely useless to Lin Xi. Lin Xi narrowed her eyes in a smile, and Chen Sang Ning also appeared. The moment she saw Chen Sang Ning, the driver's eyes widened. But this guy could still be useful now. It wouldn't be too late to deal with him once we got to the No. 4 bus platform.
Ghosts also cherish their lives, so when Lin Xi asked it to take it to the No. 4 bus platform, it didn't even object and directly started the car and rushed out. Lin Xi glanced at the rules, and the rules here were no different from those for the No. 4 bus.
The driver ghost thought he'd be let off the hook if he followed Lin Xi's instructions, but once they reached the bus platform, Lin Xi simply killed the donkey, devouring the driver ghost, the passengers, and the bus itself. Shen Sang Ning wasn't particularly hungry now; she hadn't yet fully consumed the 300,000 yuan the funeral home owner had given her.
But it doesn't matter if you eat a little more. A ghost's stomach is a bottomless pit. Just eat first and then digest it slowly.
Who knew that the scene of her eating was seen by the No. 4 bus behind her. Seeing that the No. 421 bus in front of her had no cars, No. 4 bus stopped immediately without stopping.
He thought he would just go around it. Fortunately, Lin Xi spotted the other party with sharp eyes: "I give you three numbers to stop in front of me, or I will kill you at the bus company headquarters."
Such a powerful threat is scary to ghosts.
The No. 4 bus braked suddenly, making a sharp sound, and stopped in front of Lin Xi, revealing a familiar face inside. Sure enough, it was the same driver. Lin Xi smiled at him. But the driver didn't really want to see Lin Xi. Compared to Lin Xi's smile, the driver's face was full of worry.
"Why are you wearing this? I almost didn't recognize you."
Lin Xi got in the car, but the driver didn't even move, simply turning off the engine. Lin Xi and Shen Sangning sat in the front row, facing each other. The driver looked at her hospital gown, seeming to have a headache.
From Lin Lin's mouth, Lin Xi got to know what a mental hospital looked like. It was roughly the kind of place that could scare a child to tears. He didn't know how long the driver had been a ghost, but he must have heard about Qingmu Mental Hospital.
"Don't ask. The main thing is that I'm looking for you today. I need your help with something."
The driver's face turned even more bitter. He had never had a good time with Lin Xi, and his face was filled with pain. After Lin Xi explained his intentions and hoped that he could go to Qingmu Mental Hospital, the driver shook his head like a rattle: "No, I won't go. I don't want to die."
“…” Lin Xi really wanted to tell him, you are already dead, don’t be afraid.
Sun Ke's name had been around in Binjiang City for years, so it was no surprise that the driver was terrified. However, Lin Xi wasn't happy with his behavior, which seemed to only be afraid of Sun Ke and not Shen Sang Ning. What? Did he look down on her Ning Ning?
"Ahem." Lin Xi coughed twice, causing the driver to stop shaking his head and look at her. Then she began to threaten... and reason with the driver: "Here's the thing, if you promise me, I can guarantee that you won't have any safety issues during this period, and you'll also get a bonus of 10,000 yuan."
The driver thought Lin Xi was bluffing. How could a living person like Lin Xi make 10,000 yuan in the world of rule-based weird stories? She didn't look like a rich person. Lin Xi saw the distrust on the driver's face. She raised her hand proudly and bowed to Shen Sang Ning: "Wife."
Shen Sangning, who had returned to normal, didn't hold Lin Xi back on such a small matter, so she just handed over 10,000 yuan. When the driver saw the 10,000 yuan in Lin Xi's hand, his eyes instantly turned red.
Making money in the world of Rule Weird Stories was truly difficult, not to mention the car he had to maintain. His daily snacks and salary had to be split 50-50 with the cost of the No. 4 bus. He couldn't even save 10,000 yuan in six months. This time, as long as he did what Lin Xi said, he could get 10,000 yuan!
Not only the driver, but even the bus itself was tempted. Sharp-eyed Lin Xi noticed a tentacle extending from the back of the driver's chair, poking him, clearly saying: Hurry up and agree, I want to make some money.
The driver took a deep breath and asked, "Are you really going to give me so much?"
"Of course, when have I ever broken my word?"
Lin Xi had broken her promise so many times that she was almost at the top of her skill of lying. But the bus and the driver didn't know that. They only knew that there was 10,000 yuan in front of them. After thinking about it for about a minute, the driver immediately agreed.
"Deal, I did it!"
The driver didn't know that in addition to the inducement, there was also coercion. Lin Xi was ready to say the rest if the driver didn't agree: "I don't know if Brother Sun Ke can kill you now, but my wife is right next to you. If you dare to refuse, she can kill you now. If you don't do it, there are other drivers who will do it."
However, this threat has not been used now. As the saying goes, money makes the world go round. The ancients were right.
