Chapter 97: Global Nuclear Explosion 9
Chu Yian rested for a day in this abandoned building, and the next day she prepared to leave.
X City had been completely destroyed, and nuclear radiation was extremely severe.
Compared to here, a remote town far from the nuclear explosion center should be safer.
She had originally intended to follow the road to find a town, to gather some supplies there, but unfortunately, a strong wind had picked up outside.
These winds blew directly at her, carrying radioactive dust from the city.
Tiny particles floated outside, and the sky was a greyish-black.
Radiation, radiation, all radiation.
Chu Yian’s leg, which had just crossed the doorway, suddenly retracted, and she went back upstairs.
This abandoned building, to be precise, was an unfinished building; the windows hadn’t even been installed, and it was drafty on all sides.
With the wind blowing, those radioactive dust particles were simply omnipresent.
She quickly returned to the room where she had rested last night.
Before the game started, she had also brought the ant-patterned floral quilt she bought for one point.
There was no door in the room, so she hung the quilt at the entrance.
This 1.8-meter-wide, 2-meter-long quilt was quite cooperative, covering the doorway tightly.
She planned to leave after the strong wind passed.
Then, half an hour later, besides the howling of the wind, a team of uninvited guests stopped downstairs.
They were also survivors forced to stop by the wind carrying radioactive dust.
As soon as the group stopped their vehicles, they quickly entered the building, also looking for a place to shelter from the radioactive dust.
However, the wind outside was very strong, and Chu Yian didn’t hear the vehicles stop until she heard footsteps coming from downstairs, only then realizing that someone had come in.
Damn it!
Chu Yian cursed inwardly, quickly stood up, and tried to take down the hung quilt.
Just as she reached out to pull the quilt, a hand suddenly reached in and grabbed her, then pulled her out forcefully.
Chu Yian stumbled, pulled by the person outside, and she raised the iron pipe in her left hand, swinging it at that person.
With a muffled thud, that person took a solid hit.
However, Chu Yian’s attack had little effect; the other party directly pressed her against the wall, a cold blade pressed against her neck.
The next second, her gas mask was removed.
“So it’s you.”
A familiar voice sounded in her ear, and Chu Yian’s body instantly tensed.
She turned her head to look and indeed saw that familiar face—the man she had made an enemy of in the Super Mold game.
Now, his narrow eyes were fixed on her, fierce and with a hint of malevolence.
“Gold treasure box player, do you remember me?”
How could she not remember?
She not only smashed him with the treasure box but also shot him with a crossbow, and finally tried to hit him with a car.
Although she didn’t hit him, she provocatively taunted him fiercely.
She thought at the time that she wouldn’t see him again anyway, so it didn’t matter.
Who would have thought that after only two rounds of games, they would meet again?
Enemies on a narrow road!
“Not talking?”
Bai Sinian threw her gas mask away, his left hand holding the knife still, his right hand propped against the wall, “Are you thinking of what to use to ambush me again?”
“Haha.”
Chu Yian showed an awkward smile on her face, and then… she knelt down.
That’s right, with her hands clasped together, looking very humble.
“Big brother, I didn’t know you were a player back then.
Young and reckless, ignorant and fearless, please, for the sake of us both being players, let bygones be bygones.”
Playing games, you need to be able to bend and stretch.
Bai Sinian was stunned; he really hadn’t expected this woman to submit so quickly.
Before, he had suffered several minor and not-so-minor losses at her hands, and he had originally planned to torment her thoroughly if he ever met her again.
Now, this sudden plea for mercy… did not change his original intention.
“Tie her up and bring her in.”
Bai Sinian took out a bundle of rope as thick as her finger, had her tied up tightly, and then carried her into the room.
He scanned the room; there was half a bottle of mineral water and an unopened can of meat inside.
Looking at these items, he turned back to glance at Chu Yian, who was tied up like a zongzi.
“How do you think I should kill you?”
Bai Sinian sat on the floor, casually tossed the can to a subordinate, and played with a small knife between his fingers.
“Starve you to death, dehydrate you to death, hit you with a car, or throw you outside to taste the nuclear radiation?”
What a vengeful, vicious man.
She should have attacked first; finding a chance to escape would have been better than begging for mercy.
Chu Yian felt some regret, but alas, there was no turning back. “Don’t, big brother, what good would killing me do you?
Why not keep me, and we can clear the game together.”
“Let’s bury the hatchet; there isn’t that much hatred in the world.”
She said, lying down, and using the momentum from her bound position, rolled to Bai Sinian’s front, “This is for you, as an apology for my previous rash behavior and the harm I caused you.”
She looked at the subordinate standing nearby, asking him to turn her over.
With her back to Bai Sinian, her hands, tied behind her back, held a leaf-shaped brooch inlaid with diamonds of various sizes.
This was the brooch she bought for 1 point.
Didn’t You Che say that a friend of his gave an NPC a ring, and the NPC loved him to death?
Chu Yian didn’t know why You Che had so many friends, but she hoped what he said was true.
She didn’t ask for this player to love her to death; she only asked to gain some favorability so he wouldn’t actually kill her.
After all, she had put so much effort into surviving; dying at the hands of a player would be too much of a loss.
While Chu Yian was pondering, Bai Sinian took the brooch from her hand, “You… are giving me this?”
He raised an eyebrow slightly, “Want to team up with me?”
“Yes.”
Chu Yian nodded without thinking, “I was ignorant before; following big brother has a future.”
Bai Sinian looked at the diamond brooch, and a mysterious smile suddenly appeared at the corner of his mouth, “Okay, but I need to see your sincerity.”
He looked at Chu Yian, “Is the game item you drew that golden treasure box? Take it out and let me see.”
This request.
“No problem.”
Chu Yian nodded and agreed readily, but then her gaze turned to his companions, “Big brother, can it just be the two of us…”
“They are just NPCs; they will automatically rationalize anything unreasonable on any player.”
No way.
In the last round of the game, Teacher Lu’s surprised expression when he saw her treasure box didn’t seem faked.
Chu Yian instantly thought of Lu Qingyuan, began to doubt the truthfulness of Bai Sinian’s words, and also wondered if Lu Qingyuan might be a player disguised as an NPC.
Emotionally, she felt that Bai Sinian was lying.
“No? Then why do you say you want to cooperate with me?”
Bai Sinian looked at her, the small knife in his hand tapping out a rhythm.
“Yes, why not.”
Her life was in someone else’s hands, so she directly took out her treasure box, “This is my game item, a box that can automatically grow and shrink.”
