Chapter 335 Escape Plan (15) - The Two Arguing
Si Zhong quickly opened the store to buy medicine for Ning Shu. However, after looking around, he found only medicines for treating various injuries, not for treating illnesses.
Because he follows the same rules in the game, he doesn't need to prepare any medicine for this purpose.
He was just about to ask the people outside what was going on with Ning Shu when, buzzing, the special communicator in his pocket went off.
"Wait a minute." After saying that, Si Zhong went into the bathroom and took out his communicator to check the message.
Upon seeing the message, his expression changed drastically. After replying with trembling hands, he immediately rushed to the living room and carried Ning Shu to the bed.
"Ah Ning, take care of yourself. I have something to take care of. You'll be fine soon."
After saying that, Si Zhong covered her with a blanket and rushed away without listening to Ning Shu say anything more.
Ning Shu, completely bewildered by his sudden actions, was speechless.
No, what's going on?! She was in excruciating pain, and he just... ran away?
That jerk! He messes things up at the crucial moment. Can't he ever be relied on at all?!
Ning Shu cursed inwardly, but he clutched his stomach tightly with both hands, and large beads of sweat were pouring down his forehead.
Her mind was filled with: It hurts so much!
Ning Shu was in pain for almost a whole day before finally fainting from the pain.
Cheng Chuan noticed her unusual behavior. After playing ball and washing up, Cheng Chuan and Wu Yi Tuya came looking for her.
Ning Shu's room door was wide open; Si Zhong had forgotten to close it before leaving.
Cheng Chuan found Ning Shu lying down and initially thought she was sleeping, so he tried to close the door for her.
But when he entered the house and grasped the doorknob, he glanced at Ning Shu and noticed that her face was pale. He felt something was wrong and went over to check on her, only to find that Ning Shu was unresponsive.
Everyone was terrified because they couldn't find Li Mengqi, so they hurriedly called Wen Fei over to treat Ning Shu.
Gradually, Ning Shu's complexion improved and eventually returned to normal.
Ning Shu rested for several days.
Si Zhong returned a few days later. When he came back, he noticed that Ning Shu looked well and asked with concern, "Are you feeling better?"
Ning Shu glanced at him but ignored him.
Si Zhong sensed that Ning Shu was angry, so he quickly explained, "I wasn't... you weren't feeling well, and I couldn't help you here, so I..."
Ning Shu interrupted him: "So you just ran away?"
...Si Zhong actually nodded.
Ning Shu: "..." Get lost!
Ning Shu angrily pushed Si Zhong away and ignored him.
Wu Yi and Li Mengqi witnessed all of this. Wu Yi asked Li Mengqi in confusion, "Sister Meng, it seems like they had a fight."
Li Mengqi was speechless: "I'm not blind, I saw it."
Wu Yi was completely baffled: "Why?"
Li Mengqi was speechless again: "I've been gone for several days, how was I supposed to know that you, who's been here the whole time, didn't even know?"
Wu Yi said innocently, "They didn't argue in front of me, so how would I know?"
Li Mengqi: "When did they start doing this?"
Wu Yi: "Today."
Li Mengqi remained silent; she truly couldn't guess why they had argued.
Si Zhong truly felt innocent, as he felt he couldn't be of any help there.
But he couldn't explain the reason to Ning Shu, at least not now, so he could only swallow this bitter pill.
Ning Shu was very disappointed with Si Zhong's behavior. He said he liked her, but when she needed him the most, he disappeared.
How could she entrust her life to someone like that? It's better to part ways amicably.
After she recovered, the team started running dungeons again. After two dungeons, Ning Shu's overall ability level finally rose to C10 again.
Just then, Ning Shu and the others left the instance and returned to the buffer zone.
Ning Shu has already figured out how to get through the "Winter's Land" dungeon and is planning when to run it.
What she's most worried about right now is Si Zhong's rank. If he's also C10, then this opportunity might not fall to her.
She didn't know if Si Zhong was willing to leave the game, and if not, knowing the truth might prevent them from leaving.
After much thought, she decided to leave in the original order, with Si Zhong leaving last.
Have the last person who wants to leave tell Si Zhong about this. If Si Zhong is willing to leave, then they can leave together.
If they're unwilling, even if something goes wrong, at least most of their teammates will leave.
This method is unfair to the last teammate, but there's nothing we can do about it.
As the last-place finisher, the chances of successfully advancing are slim. Since it requires relying on Si Zhong's abilities, some sacrifices are inevitable.
Ning Shu admitted that she was selfish. She was not a savior and could not guarantee that everyone could leave. She could only take care of herself first.
After setting the departure time, Ning Shu found Li Mengqi and told her about it, instructing her to leave Si Zhong until the end.
The reason given was that Si Zhong had strong level-clearing abilities and could help all teammates, and Li Mengqi thought Ning Shu's idea was quite good.
Ning Shu concluded by saying, "This is the first time we've tried this method to pass through, and it might not be successful."
If I succeed, you can do it my way.
Li Mengqi was very worried: "Will this work?"
Ning Shu: "We have to try, whether it works or not, otherwise there's no way we can succeed."
Li Mengqi: "When does it start?"
Ning Shu: "Let's wait a couple of days. I'll prepare some things first."
Li Mengqi had the same question as Ning Shu: "What rank is Si Zhong now? Will you be stuck here again after he leaves?"
Ning Shu was also worried about this issue: "I don't know, I didn't dare to ask."
Sister Meng, there's actually another reason why we kept him until the end—he might not want to leave the game.
Li Mengqi seemed to have heard a fairy tale: "What? There are still people who don't want to leave?"
Ning Shu didn't know how to explain it to Li Mengqi: "It's a bit complicated, just remember this."
Li Mengqi suddenly thought, "You didn't dare to ask because you were worried he would become suspicious?"
Ning Shu: "Yes, if he doesn't want to leave, and doesn't want us to leave either, then it will be troublesome. We can keep it from him for now."
Li Mengqi became even more worried: "So what do you plan to do now?"
Ning Shu: "I want Wen Fei to untie him, so he won't be going through the trials with us this time. You can explain it to him afterwards."
Li Mengqi thought this was a good idea: "Okay, let's do it this way."
Ning Shu and Li Mengqi whispered to each other under the pretext of going to the restroom.
Si Zhong was bored on the side, listening to Wu Yi next to him talking non-stop with Wen Fei's teammates about his previous dungeon runs.
When Ning Shu was mentioned, Si Zhong perked up his ears to listen. He was also curious to know what Ning Shu was like when she wasn't by his side.
When Wu Yi mentioned the "Desert Tracing" instance, Si Zhong's pupils suddenly contracted.
It's not surprising that they experienced the same instance; what's surprising is that what Wu Yi said was exactly the same as what he had experienced!
