Chapter Thirty-Two: Physical Strength Fails

  Among the four new people who just joined, only Zhou Lanyu was left. Qiao Jia and Lanyu simply helped Lian Xi and Ying Bao to bind their wounds, and the four of them began to move forward slowly. Qiao Jia supported Lian Xi, while Zhou Lanyu supported Ying. Lian Xi's pace became slower and slower, and her breathing became more and more urgent.

  It's fine, he remains expressionless because he is a man, originally stronger than women, and with the special training he received since childhood, losing an arm doesn't seem like a big deal to him. Shadow knows that losing an arm won't affect his agility or combat power at all.

  However, he had already made preparations for death. After all, a shadow is also human, and he felt dizzy, even if the task was completed and returned to reality, there was no time to go to the hospital to treat his wounds, it would be dangerous. The shadow still doesn't know until now that as long as he survives to complete the task, any injuries received in the game will be repaired.

  In the midst of aimlessness, Lianxiu finally realized that if simply finding a place could get 4 survival points, it would be equivalent to giving them away for free. Moreover, in the first game, it was so thrilling, and after deducting the scores from hidden tasks and killing bosses, only a small amount of score was obtained in the end. It seems that it's not that easy after all.

  "Ryeo-e, Ryeo-e, hold on a bit! You must get through this!" Ryeo-e's whole body had gone limp, and Cheok-ja's strength was still too small to support Ryeo-e's body. Ryeo-e fell down all at once.

  "Don't mind me, go help Lian Xi!" Ying let go of Lan Yu's hand and nodded at Lan Yu. Lan Yu immediately went to help, but in this situation, even if they helped Lian Xi up, she would just fall down again.

  "Don't bother about me, taking me along would only be a burden. I don't want to hold you back. You guys go ahead." Lian Xi's voice was very weak, as if she was on the verge of death.

  "Don't be ridiculous! What are you talking about? How can you be a burden? I'm telling you, you're not! I won't leave you here alone! If we go, we'll go together. If you stay, I'll stay with you!" Chao Jia didn't know where she got the courage to say these words. These words touched the most vulnerable spot in Lian Yu's heart, and her eyes instantly turned red as she silently gazed at Chao Jia...

  "Yes, Qiao Jia is right. We've been through so many dangers together. If it weren't for your analysis, we'd probably be dead by now." Ying walked over. It had to be said, Ying's words made people feel a little warmer for the first time, and not as cold as usual.

  Lian Xi couldn't believe it, the words that had just come out of Ying's mouth. Lian Xi looked at Ying with effort, and in his eyes, there was an extra hint - emotion. An assassin, how could he possibly have emotions? But from Ying's eyes, it seemed like many things could be seen, pity, sympathy, reluctance, even heartache.

  "Otherwise, let's go find the tomb of death with Qiao Jia, and come back for them after we've found it."

  "Lan Yu, what are you talking about?! Look at the two of them, they're both injured like this, how can I possibly feel at ease leaving them here!" Qiao Jia was getting angry, this was the first time she had ever scolded Lan Yu, and Lan Yu was also shocked.

  "Then I'll go find her." Ying stepped forward, "Don't forget what I do for a living, Qiao Jia. This little injury is nothing to me. And my memory is extremely strong, I won't get lost. If you guys went, you'd probably get lost and not be able to find your way back, but I can."

  "Then I'll go with you!" Qiao Jia said without hesitation. In fact, when Qiao Jia first met Ying, he was still very afraid in his heart, after all, he was a ruthless killer... But Ying's actions and words suddenly made him look at Ying in a different light. Ying wasn't as cold-blooded as imagined.

  "No! You have to stay!" Ying's voice was firm.

  "Why?" "I don't trust this man, I know you two are good sisters, you won't hurt Lian Yu, but he can't be guaranteed." Ying pointed at Lan Yu.

  Lan Yu was about to refute when Qiao Jia interrupted, "Xing, I haven't introduced you yet, this is my boyfriend, we've been together for three years, he won't hurt Lian Xi!"

  "In such an environment, I shouldn't have believed anyone, but having been through thick and thin with you two many times, I trust you. But don't think about making me believe others again." He glared at Lan Yu.

  "Don't believe me, then! Don't you have any conscience? I've been helping you for so long and even bandaged your wound. Now you think I'm a bad person who would harm Lian Xi? If I really thought Lian Xi was a burden, wouldn't I have done a sloppy job of bandaging her wound just now, letting her lose too much blood...?" No matter how Lan Yu explained, Ying still didn't believe him. "Then let's go look for her together! Can't we leave Qiao Jia behind?"

  "Are you sure to leave the two girls here?!" The voices of the two people became very loud, and they started arguing with each other. "Then what do you say?! Are you going to let me go find her alone?!"...

  "It looks like the two of you are going to fight, Lian Xi made an effort to speak up "Why don't we all go together? If we encounter any danger, you can abandon me and still have time to escape... Qiao Jia helped me up."

  "I won't abandon you, if we die, we'll die together!" Qiao Jia said domineeringly, and then she and Lan Yu helped Qiao Jia up. Zhou Lan Yu turned his head to glance at Ying, who seemed to understand something, "You support Lian Xi, I won't fall easily." Zhou Lan Yu nodded and propped up Lian Xi.

  After much discussion and argument, the four of them finally set off together. Lian Xi was already almost unable to...

  Their journey was slow due to this reason. Before long, they seemed to have reached their physical limits. Their only fortune was that the shadow wouldn't lose direction, and with the shadow leading them, they wouldn't take unnecessary detours or get lost. The shadow's words had greatly reduced the mental pressure on the other three people.

  Zhou Lan Yu and Yuan Qiao Jia continued to use their bodies to support Ling Xi, after all, if Ling Xi fell again at this time, they might not even have the strength to lift her up. They walked with difficulty, which was a challenge to their physical limits. The shocking scenes that had just occurred were still fresh in everyone's minds. Tense nerves, exhausted bodies...

  Four people supported each other, advancing slowly. Xiao Jia's face was covered in sweat, struggling to move forward. It wasn't just Xiao Jia; all four of them were exhausted, drained of energy. If one person fell down now, everyone would fall like dominoes. Sometimes what exhausts people isn't the distance of the journey, but the aimless searching, not knowing where the destination is...

  At this moment, Lian Yu's extremely pale face had already lost all its blood color. She was able to walk so far completely relying on her faith and the help of three other people. She didn't want to give up, really didn't want to give up, insisting for so long, just wanting to survive. But after walking for so long, everyone felt equally desperate, and finally Lian Yu couldn't hold on anymore. The four people all fell down. Lian Yu cried again. She had cried many times before, but this time it was tears of self-blame. Looking at the other people also falling down one by one, Lian Yu felt extremely guilty. If not for her own burden, perhaps the other three people would have already completed their mission and returned to reality.

  Ying cracked his mouth and shook his head with difficulty. On the muddy ground in front of him, a tombstone was also standing upright, with four big words - "Death Tomb"!
