Infinite: Dawn Game

Chapter 715 The Bones of a Sheep

"..."

The four people in this corner looked at each other in bewilderment—He Lingling couldn't see anyone; she was looking at Xu Han beside her purely by feeling... well, Xu Han was still holding her arm and wouldn't let go.

He Lingling noticed that his hands were trembling more and more, and she felt a rare pity for him, so she comforted him:

"It's really okay. At worst, we can stay and become monsters. It's another way to survive."

Sun Qin, Shi Yuan, Xu Han: "..."

Thank you, please stop talking. Just thinking about it makes me feel like I'm about to explode.

To stay and become a grotesque, inhuman NPC... it's really better to just die! At least you'd suffer a little before you die, instead of constantly "resurrecting," getting killed, and then "resurrecting" again—it's so frustrating...

Shi Yuan was the first to speak: "Let me make this clear first, I don't want to die."

She remained calm, though she kept saying things like "I don't want to die, I have to live," her face showing a serene indifference to life and death.

"I have to live, don't give up, thank you."

Upon hearing this, Sun Qin immediately raised her hand, "Me too... I... I don't really want to die..."

Sun Qin really didn't want to die. She had finally managed to break free from the shackles that bound her and finally gained independence and freedom... Although she later died from overtime work, she still didn't want to die if she had the chance.

"...Should I go downstairs and take another look?"

Xu Han finally gritted his teeth and said, "If, if there are 'goats' among the BOSS consortium, shouldn't someone go check the lower deck?"

"..."

He Lingling was silent for a few seconds, then sighed: "This is just my personal guess—"

"Stop guessing!"

Xu Han was so anxious he almost blurted out, "I'll go! I'll go right now! Don't worry! I have plenty of props! I'm not afraid of dying!"

He Lingling and Shi Yuan: "..."

Sun Qin looked at Xu Han with envy and stammered, "You, you are so capable."

"..."

Apart from Xu Han, who became somewhat proud and raised his head after being praised, He Lingling and Shi Yuan simply became more silent.

Shi Yuan thought Sun Qin was quite an "extraordinary person".

It's hard to say whether she's still thinking straight or not that she can say something so mood-ruining at this point...

Shi Yuan glanced at Xu Han, who was still "proudly holding his head high," thought for a while, opened his mouth, and finally remained silent.

"Go ahead then."

He Lingling stared intently at Xu Han beside her and said, "There should be goat carcasses and bones in the hold—"

"I'm here."

Xu Han silently moved He Lingling's head, which was turning too much, and said, "Let's continue."

"..." He Lingling took a deep breath and continued to suppress her irritation, "See if you can use something to bring the goat's bones out of the hold. As for the rest, don't worry about anything you see."

"Once you get it, run to the third deck, understand?"

"Okay, okay, I'm leaving now."

Xu Han nodded hurriedly and was about to stand up and run downstairs when He Lingling stopped him:

"You...you need to be careful not to get contaminated. Sheep—don't be stingy with that stuff, we don't have much time left."

"Okay, okay, I got it. I'm off!"

Xu Han stealthily stepped past some goat-headed men whose heads had been chopped off in half or whose arms and legs had been severed, and disappeared behind the door under the horrified gazes of Brother Zhu and the male player.

"?"

Zhu Ge's throat was full of blood. He slapped his arm hard and stared in disbelief at the empty cabin door.

"Is he out of his mind?"

The final location is on the third deck. If Xu Han runs down now... will he really have time to run back up later?

Moreover... the thought that there might be quite a few sheep-headed people wandering around on the first and second decks sent a chill down Zhu's spine.

The male player stared in horror at the three dead players who were still approaching them from a distance, on the verge of collapse.

"What is this?! Why are they staring at the two of us—"

"Correction: It's not the two of us, it's you."

Zhu wiped his face, distanced himself from the male player, and calmly said:

"From now on, let's keep our distance. Don't get too close to me."

Male player: "...Isn't this a bit too much—"

“I’ve been kind enough,” Brother Zhu interrupted him. “If I hadn’t pulled you up just now, you would be one of them now.”

"Don't repay kindness with enmity, brother."

Fearing that the male player might still want to pester him, Brother Zhu added, "Please, bro."

Male player: "..."

He stared blankly as Zhu Ge got further and further away from him, and finally disappeared behind the cabin door as well.

Brother Zhu actually chased after Xu Han!

The male player stared in disbelief, his eyes wide as he muttered to himself, "Going down... wouldn't going down be very dangerous? Very dangerous, wouldn't it?"

Why would you choose to do something more dangerous instead of being with yourself?

"What..."

The dense bleating of sheep behind him broke the male player's thoughts. He turned around sharply, met the several dead players chasing after him, gritted his teeth, and started running in circles with them again.

Just hang in there... just a little longer and you'll be able to beat the game...

-

Sun Qin was shocked as she watched Zhu Ge chase after Xu Han and disappear into the cabin.

"What is he doing? Xu Han has props so he's not afraid, but is he really not afraid of death?"

Sun Qin asked in shock.

Shi Yuan glanced at the empty cabin door but did not offer any opinion.

Because she couldn't see, He Lingling was annoyed and chimed in with a few words.

"smart people."

He Lingling: "They probably wanted to add more points to make the story more complete."

"?"

Sun Qin didn't quite understand: "Could it be?"

"You do not know?"

He Lingling was genuinely surprised this time: "Although players can survive by hiding in game dungeons, the points they get are pitifully small."

Entering game instances with a fear of dying only yields enough points to barely keep them alive in the "Chrysalis Shop".

In He Lingling's personal opinion, such a life was worse than death.

But everyone has their own ambitions, and she has no reason to criticize others for whether they are right or wrong.

There's nothing wrong with wanting to live, but it will be more difficult and less dignified—that's the path they chose themselves.

“…I think so.”

Sun Qin lowered her head after being told this, and murmured, "Me too... I also played it safe in the first two dungeons."

No wonder her final points totaled so little, barely enough for her to eat three meals a day and pay for her monthly oxygen subscription...

"If you want to live a long life, I still suggest you stop trying to survive."

He Lingling said in a low voice: "Although it's safe to stay put in the early stages, if you really encounter a monster alone, the outcome is 100% death."

Shi Yuan, who was standing next to her, glanced at He Lingling, who had already closed her eyes, but still didn't say anything.

"..."

After a long pause, Sun Qin gave a self-deprecating laugh: "I know... thank you."
