Chapter 23: Encountering a Chatterbox

After closing the mall, Chu Xihen saw the copy countdown and the tasks they had to complete appear in the sky.

The countdown is forty-eight hours, or two days, and the mission is to help the people of Qinghe Village kill the poisonous konjac that disrupts their lives.

Chu Xihen lay on a rock by the river with no desire to live, and just wanted to stay there until the countdown was over.

He didn't understand. He was already retired and was about to enjoy his old age, but why did this damn infinite world want to drag him in to walk the same path he had walked before!

It's the end of the world outside, and you still want people to come and break into the dungeon. Is this crazy? Is this world crazy? !

Moreover, in his nightmare, the two male protagonists never entered the infinite world to break into the dungeon!

Could it be that all of this is a chain reaction caused by the fact that he, the cannon fodder, did not die?

But what's wrong with a person wanting to live? Even if he is a cannon fodder, he has the right to live, right?

The more Chu Xihen thought about it, the more annoyed he became.

"Hey? There seems to be someone lying in front. Let's go over and ask if he or she is from the real world!" Someone suddenly spoke in the distance.

Chu Xihen took out a fox mask with red and black patterns from his portable shopping mall and put it on, not wanting anyone to see his face.

Moreover, judging from the fact that he and Lou Su were forcibly separated when entering the dungeon, it is very likely that they did not enter the same dungeon.

Without Lou Suo supporting him, it would be impossible for him to get by.

"Hello, are you awake?" The female voice that just spoke sounded again.

Chu Xihen turned over and sat up, looking at two girls huddled together not far away. They looked young and should be college students.

"I'm from the real world." Chu Xihen revealed his identity without waiting for them to ask.

When the two girls heard this, they laughed happily.

The girl who had just spoken bravely stepped forward and extended her hand to Chu Xihen, "Hello, my name is He Jia, and she is my good friend Meng Xinyi."

He Jia has long hair, a sweet face, a petite figure, and speaks very politely; Meng Xinyi, who was standing still at the back, has short hair, is a head taller than He Jia, about 1.75 meters tall. She just nodded at Chu Xihen and did not come forward.

But Chu Xihen saw that she took a small step forward. If he did anything dangerous to He Jia, she would rush over immediately.

"Hello." Chu Xihen did not shake hands with He Jia, nor did he give his name.

Seeing him so aloof, He Jia felt a little embarrassed. She smiled and stepped back without asking Chu Xihen any other questions.

Then two more men came from the other side.

One of them was tall and held a stone in his hand, and the other, a thin and gentle man, was obviously being held by the tall man. He raised his hands above his head in a gesture of surrender.

The tall man was wearing camouflage uniform, had a scar on his face, and had dark skin, looking a little scary.

The man he was holding was half a head shorter than him. Even though he was being held and made a gesture of surrender, there was no fear on his face.

"You are from the real world too, right?" Scarface spoke, and his eyes fell on He Jia and Meng Xinyi. That naked look made people want to poke him blind.

He asked so rudely that none of the three people paid any attention to him.

This made him angry. He kicked the gentleman aside and then strode towards the two girls.

"I'm asking you a question, are you dumb? Or do you still feel that I don't love you...ah!" Scarface was kicked in the stomach by Meng Xinyi before he could finish his words.

Scarface staggered twice, because the ground was made of stones washed by the river and he couldn't stand steadily. He sat back and fell on his butt.

The way he sat down was so funny that He Jia couldn't help laughing out loud.

Meng Xinyi had a stern face and stood in front of He Jia in a defensive posture.

"You bitch, how dare you hit me!" Scarface got up, raised his fist and was about to rush towards Meng Jiayi.

The gentleman who got up from the ground spoke at this time: "The countdown for the dungeon is only two days. We don't know anything yet. Are you sure you want to attack your teammates first?"

Scarface just rushed in front of Meng Xinyi, but when he heard the gentleman's words, he stopped.

But Meng Xinyi didn't listen. She grabbed his arm and threw him over her shoulder.

This time Scarface fell hard and he lay on the ground screaming for a long time without getting up.

"I don't want to be teammates with this kind of people. Let's go first." Meng Xinyi said and pulled He Jia along the only path along the river.

"You are not allowed to leave. When I slow down, I will fuck you two bastards to death... ah!" Before Scarface could finish his words, Chu Xihen, who stood up, kicked him and knocked him unconscious.

Chu Xihen stepped over his head and followed the two girls onto the path.

The gentleman looked at the scarred man who had fainted, then looked at Chu Xihen's cool back, and finally quickly followed.

"Sir, please wait a moment." The gentleman chased after him and said, "My name is Ling Ji. I escaped with my companions in Xia City before entering the dungeon. What about you?"

Chu Xihen stopped and looked at him, "Then why did you come in alone?"

Some of his companions were even pulled into a copy alone. Could it be that they were the same unlucky ones as him?

"After reading the rules, I wanted to try to see if I could meet people from other areas by entering the dungeon alone." He opened his eyes and before he had time to familiarize himself with the surrounding environment, he met Scarface. He was quite excited at first, thinking that he had met a fellow human being, and wanted to ask the other person where he was from.

Unexpectedly, the scar-faced man was so arrogant and unreasonable that he asked him to hand over his skill card right from the start. He was held hostage when he refused.

"I entered the dungeon in Chuan City." Chu Xihen answered Ling Ji's doubts.

Ling Ji must have a very smart brain to be able to think of this in such an urgent situation.

"If that's true, then people from different regions can communicate with each other when they enter a dungeon in the future." Ling Ji asked Chu Xihen, "What's the situation in Chuan City? Has a rescue team gone there? What kind of alien species have appeared there?"

He originally wanted to ask if anyone had obtained a skill card, but skill cards were too sensitive to everyone now. If you were not familiar with the person, it would be better not to ask, so as to avoid being treated the same way as Scarface.

"It's very bad. There is no rescue team yet. The only alien species are green-haired wolves and blue armored insects." There was no need to hide this information, so Chu Xihen told it all.

Ling Ji nodded. "It's the same as here in Xia City. What's the weather like? Is the temperature difference between day and night particularly large? The sun during the day can kill people directly, and the severe cold at night can freeze people to death?"

"Yeah." Chu Xihen's answer was simplified into one word.

But Ling Ji never stops talking. He looks gentle and refined, but he is actually a chatterbox!

What Chu Xihen didn't expect was that Ling Ji immediately revealed a piece of information that surprised him greatly.

"Then did you get a card called [Umbrella]? I heard that the umbrella summoned by this card can block the scorching sun during the day, and you won't be burned by the sun under the umbrella!"
