Chapter 20: The Game Isn't Over Yet!
Around midnight, the last quantum barrier began to contract.
Ling Yi and Zilan had already reached the halfway point of the alien volcano, and the two of them looked back in unison, watching the orange bright barrier pressing on.
According to Zilan's calculations, the quantum barrier should stop at the foot of the volcano, and the entire volcano is a safe zone.
However, the quantum barrier only paused at the base of the mountain, and then slowly but steadily contracted towards the volcano.
"What's going on?" Zilan opened her mouth wide and said with a shocked expression: "Why is the quantum barrier still shrinking?" ”
Ling Yi frowned and said, "I'm afraid this is deliberately set by the system, in order to prevent us from completing the game easily!" ”
"It's disgusting!"
Zilan quickly calculated the speed at which the quantum barrier was moving, and then said worriedly, "At this speed, we can only continue to climb to the top of the volcano. The quantum barrier will eventually force us into a place where we are only ten meters square. ”
Ling Yi smiled, "It's okay, as long as we can stay up until noon, the game is over, and we can survive." ”
The two dragged their tired bodies and continued to crawl upward.
As we reached a cliff, there was a whistling sound overhead, followed by a spray of hot lava.
"Be careful!"
Ling Yi pressed Zilan to the cliff, and the two of them were face to face, and they would avoid this magma spit.
"Thank you." Zilan's face was slightly red.
"While there's no lava now, you can climb up first."
Ling Yi held Zilan's fart. stripped high, helping Zilan climb the fault.
Then, Ling Yi threw up his supply bags and climbed hard.
"Give it to me!"
Zilan stretched out her hand at Ling Yi, but her expression suddenly became strange.
Ling Yi grabbed Zilan's hand, but he couldn't feel Zilan's strength.
There was also a pool of boiling magma at his feet, and if he fell, the consequences would be unimaginable.
"Zilan?"
"Oh! Let's work hard! Zilan came back to her senses and struggled to pull Ling Yi up.
Ling Yi calmed down and gasped, frowned and asked, "What were you thinking just now?" ”
"It's nothing, I just got a system task." Zilan said lightly.
Ling Yi's eyes lit up, "Oh? What task? ”
Zilan smiled and said, "The system asked me to kill you and be the only one to complete the game." And the reward for completing the mission is to get all your points and achievements. ”
"Holy!"
Ling Yi couldn't help but shudder, and his body subconsciously avoided Zilan.
Zilan chuckled, and then said, "Ling Yi, although my purpose in approaching you at the beginning was to get a high score, if it weren't for you, I would have died a long time ago." As a man, you can't take revenge, otherwise you will be retributed sooner or later. Do you believe in retribution? I believe. So, no matter how tempting it is, I won't accept such a task. ”
Ling Yi relieved himself at this time, and said with a wicked smile: "It seems that I am still very attractive." ”
"you!" Zilan scolded: "Get up and go, be careful that I change my mind for a while." ”
The two stood up with each other's arms, and the trust and affection between them took a big step closer.
And at this moment, there was a hissing sound of insects at the foot of the volcanic mountain.
"Another alien leech?"
"It's really a ghost!"
Zilan picked up the Steyr Scout sniper rifle and looked through the scope, immediately gasping for air.
"There's also a bug-man, and it looks like this bug-man has evolved to a higher level."
Zilan said as she pushed the scope to Ling Yi.
Ling Yi took a closer look at it, and said in a deep voice: "This guy's dragon scales have been completely formed, I'm afraid that the salt may not be able to corrode them, and he has also evolved insect wings behind him, and his maneuverability has improved several times!" I'm afraid we won't be able to fight hard, so let's hurry up and go to safety. ”
"Good!"
The two immediately accelerated and crawled towards the top of the mountain.
The higher you go, the thicker the ash and the hotter the temperature.
Zilan simply took off her heavy body armor and threw away all the supplies she didn't need.
But even so, she was still drenched in sweat, and her whole body looked like she had just been fished out of the water.
Ling Yi is also hot, and what is worse is that his mouth and tongue are dry, and his entire lungs are about to be fibrotic.
They only had a quarter of a bottle of water left, and even if they were so thirsty that they were about to burn, they could only take a sip.
In this way, they climbed from late night to dawn.
In front of him is the splashing magma, behind him is the slowly oppressive quantum barrier, and the army of alien insects and leeches that are closing in step by step.
"Ling Yi, I can't do it anymore, I really can't do it this time." Zilan lay on the hot ground with a heavy breath, naked. The exposed white skin has been smoked into a deep red.
"Stand up! Otherwise, your boobs will be fried like fried eggs! Ling Yi frightened.
When Zilan heard this, she quickly gritted her teeth and stood up.
"But I really can't walk. We've been running all day on end and don't have time to rest at all! I've reached the limit of my physical strength, and in my current state, even if I can climb to safety, I will be killed by the alien bugmen! ”
Zilan's beautiful big eyes were full of despair at this time.
Ling Yi grabbed Zilan's shoulder and said word by word: "Zilan! Don't give up! The game isn't over yet! ”
Zilan was completely stunned.
She thought that she was from a good enough background and knowledgeable enough to be considered an elite figure in every way.
But it wasn't until now that she discovered that the real gap between her and Ling Yi was completely one heaven and one underground.
Ling Yi said in a deep voice: "Zilan, you listen to me, you keep climbing up for me, and I will lure away the alien insects and leeches!" As long as you can climb to safety, you'll survive! ”
Zilan's eyes widened in horror, "You're going to lure the worm away?" No way! In that case, you won't be able to get out at all! ”
"I have a way! If you can't trust yourself, trust me! Ling Yi said firmly: "You still owe me a kiss, I won't die like this!" ”
"You ......"
Zilan nodded with difficulty, "Okay, Ling Yi, if both of us can survive this time, I will definitely give you a kiss!" I Zilan does what she says! So, you must give me a life to leave the game! ”
"Don't worry!"
Ling Yi smiled, and then pushed Zilan towards the top of the mountain.
Zilan wanted to turn back, but heard Ling Yi shouting loudly: "Don't look back, run hard!" ”
Zilan burst into tears, clenching her teeth and running desperately.
At her speed, she should be able to run to the safety zone at the top of the volcano before the Quantum Barrier arrives.
Of course, none of them will survive without first getting rid of these annoying bugs.
Ling Yi took a general look at the terrain, and then walked around to the mountain cliff on the other side, holding the VZ.61 Scorpion submachine gun in his left hand and the SR-2 Heather submachine gun in his right hand.
"Grandchildren! Grandpa, I'm here! ”
