Chapter 168 Linked Together (8) - No Privacy
As Ning Shu was thinking about these things, Si Zhong had already opened his eyes and was looking at her, creating an awkward atmosphere.
"Good morning," Ning Shu greeted him, trying to ease the awkwardness.
"Hmm." Si Zhong only replied with this one word, then put the knife back at his waist, stood up, and walked out.
Ning Shu also sat up and watched him walk outside the wooden house, his back to her.
Just as I was wondering what he was going to do, I heard the sound of flowing water.
In an instant, her face turned completely red, like a boiled shrimp. Then she thought of an even more serious problem: she seemed to... also need to relieve herself.
It's already embarrassing to see others like this, but the thought of her having to do it in front of others makes it even more awkward.
He started silently complaining about the game in his mind. Why did they have to tie the two of them together, making the situation so awkward, and... there was no privacy at all?
Seeing Si Zhong turn back, she panicked and didn't know what to do.
Then she heard Si Zhong say to her, "You should take care of this quickly, and we'll leave right away."
She felt speechless because she was so inconsiderate when she should have been, but she had no choice but to comply because she really couldn't hold it in any longer.
She went to where Si Zhong had just stood and saw the puddle of water on the ground.
Her face flushed slightly, but when she turned around and stole a glance at Si Zhong, she found him waiting with his back to her. She could only silently squat down...
Afterwards, her face turned even redder, and despite her carefulness, she couldn't hide the sound of the flowing water.
She felt she could no longer look him in the eye and began to despise herself. At that time, she even wanted to tie herself to Cheng Chuan. Fortunately, she didn't, otherwise neither of them would have any privacy.
This is a major taboo for couples who are not yet together.
After Ning Shu returned, Si Zhong walked straight ahead, seemingly unaware of her blushing face and lowered head.
They walked forward for a while and then discovered that there was a laser beam blocking the road, and the laser was moving back and forth.
Fortunately, they weren't moving very fast, so they could cross over as long as they timed it right.
Si Zhong said, "When it comes back, jump over it, then walk forward and get out of its attack range."
Ning Shu responded, and the two worked together seamlessly, successfully passing the laser obstacle.
At the end of the wooden walkway, various obstacles, such as boxes, stones, and planks, were suspended above. The two jumped onto them one by one, continuing to jump forward.
We successfully reached the top, where there was a wide avenue paved with bricks and decorated with many spike-like structures on both sides.
After walking for a while, the two found a vehicle ahead. The vehicle looked a bit like a tractor. Only one person could sit in the front, and there was a flat area in the back that could be used as a seat.
Si Zhong: "Get in the car."
Ning Shu immediately climbed onto the "back seat" of the car, assuming that Si Zhong was driving, and gripped the car body with both hands to steady herself.
After Si Zhong waited for her to sit down, he immediately started the car. They drove for quite a distance without encountering any traps.
Ning Shu was surprised that the journey was so smooth, but then he saw the huge stone windmill right in front of him.
The windmill is made of stone, and the blades are very large, with the tips resembling a giant hammer. If you were hit by it, you would definitely be smashed away.
The windmill shaft is located outside the driveway, but the blades sweep across the driveway when they rotate, only a few tens of centimeters above the ground.
Whether they're driving or speeding, if they hit a blade, they'll be smashed away.
There are four blades in total, and they only pass through for a quarter of the time the blades rotate.
When Si Zhongkai was a little in front of Feng Ye, he suddenly said, "Sit tight."
Ning Shu gripped the protruding part of the vehicle tightly, and Si Zhong immediately accelerated, darting past it and successfully avoiding the wind blades.
Next, they encountered three more windmills, which they passed without incident. They didn't see any more windmills on the rest of the journey.
Ning Shu wished she could keep driving all the way to the top, but that was wishful thinking.
Suddenly, I noticed a small black dot on the back of her hand that was gripping the car body, and the dot was getting bigger and bigger.
Curious, she moved closer to get a better look, but when she covered the back of her hand with her head, all she could see was her shadow; the little black dot disappeared.
When she left, the small black dot reappeared, and it was getting bigger and bigger.
A shadow! That was the first thing that came to her mind. She instinctively looked up and saw something strange.
A huge rock was falling toward them, and it seemed to be guided by a GPS device, following them closely even as they continued to move forward.
"Si Zhong, there's a huge boulder falling from above! Run!" Ning Shu shouted urgently.
After hearing this, Si Zhong noticed the problem without even looking up, because he also saw the shadows that were obscuring the two of them.
They could tell from the shadow that the rock was indeed very large and very close to them.
He suddenly turned the steering wheel to the right, accelerated, and drove away. In that instant, the place where they had been standing was smashed to pieces by a huge rock that fell from the sky.
The two of them turned around and saw this scene at the same time, and were terrified.
Starting from this boulder, the two seemed to have stumbled upon a nest of boulders, experiencing one near-death experience after another.
After driving quite a distance, they realized that the boulder was no longer following them.
The road ended there, so Si Zhong had to stop, and the two of them had to continue walking.
Ning Shu fell silent when he saw only a thick chain at the end of the driveway.
Although the chain was thick enough, it was uneven and swayed back and forth, so how could she walk across it? She felt that even if she crawled, it would be difficult to get through.
Si Zhong, unaware of her predicament, leaped and landed on the chains, which swayed violently under his sudden weight.
Ning Shu's legs went even weaker; she really couldn't take it—
Si Zhong took a few steps forward and noticed that Ning Shu didn't seem to be following. The chain on his wrist was being pulled a little tight. He turned around and looked at Ning Shu with a puzzled expression.
"Why aren't you leaving?"
Ning Shu pointed to the chains at his feet and said tremblingly, "I'm scared, these chains are too shaky."
Si Zhong didn't quite understand. Wasn't she quite calm when she crossed that piece of wood before, even though her posture was... questionable? This time, she only wobbled a little, almost no different from before.
There was almost no difference, at least for him; but for Ning Shu, the difference was enormous.
Ning Shu thought Si Zhong would at least comfort her and help her mentally prepare, but all he said was, "Hurry up and go, don't waste time."
Ning Shu felt an urge to hit him because of his cold and unapproachable demeanor, but she knew she couldn't win, so she could only obediently follow him.
Anyway, he wanted her to hurry up, so let her die if she wants.
