117: Chapter 117 Escape from the Instance
“You have more antitoxin!” Gu Yu exclaid with joy.
“Found them by luck, only three vials,” Xu Huo said with a aningful tone, “just enough to save the three of you.”
After finishing his sentence, he asked Shen Xin, “Wanna try it?”
Shen Xin stared at him blankly for a mont, her lips trembling too much to speak.
Gu Yu, hobbling, walked behind her and gave her a push forward, “Didn’t your brother risk his life to save you just so you could live?
Now you have the chance to get out alive; what are you hesitating for?”
“If you die in this instance, wouldn’t your brother have died in vain?”
“You’re right, no one knows if they’ll die in the next or the following instance, but you at least can’t die here!”
“However, it’s not safe inside the wall.
Let’s get out first and then talk about it.”
Shen Xin, pushed forward by her, began to cry a rain of tears, suddenly wiping her tears and turned to help each other as they walked outside.
As they all walked out of the walls, they received the ga’s completion notification tone.
They couldn’t help but relax, but before they could feel happy, the camping light suddenly “clattered” to the ground.
They looked up, and Wang Chaoqing, who should’ve been holding the light, was gone.
“He’s left the instance, that son of a bitch.
We almost got completely wiped out because of him just now!” Gu Yu ground her teeth, “Even when we were surrounded by the alien creatures, he hid behind, not willing to put in any effort, while Ke Liang and I were almost drained of blood, and he didn’t even scrape his skin!”
Xu Huo didn’t comnt but instead took Shen Xin’s hand and injected the potion into her arm.
“It’s just human instinct,” Ke Liang said calmly, “A person without much ability has to take any advantage they can to survive.”
Gu Yu moved her lips but said nothing further, self-administering the injection and then casually handing one to Ke Liang.
“It might not work,” Xu Huo reminded them.
“Who cares if it works, let’s just shoot it up!” Gu Yu glared at her own arm, watching until the injection was fully administered, then exhaled deeply and blinked at Xu Huo with a smile, “Thanks to you this ti.”
Xu Huo looked at her expressionlessly, and after a few seconds, Gu Yu backed down, muttering as she turned her head away, “Insensitive…”
They didn’t rush to leave, opting instead to sit down and wait for the potion to take effect.
If the potion didn’t work, they unavoidable had to make another trip to the town.
Fortunately, after several minutes, the bruise-like black marks from the alien creature’s bite wounds started slowly fading on all three of them.
“It really works!” Gu Yu was both thrilled and distressed, with a complex expression she said, “If we could research and produce this, who knows how many lives could be saved.”
“Too bad we’ve used it all up now,” Shen Xin said, her eyes lowered.
Gu Yu, a bit embarrassed, touched her nose and said, “First and foremost, we need to ensure our own safety.
Everything else, we can only do our best.
Jing City is already working on producing antitoxin, there should be results soon.”
“Sister Gu Yu, you’re a good person,” Shen Xin looked at her, “I’ll go with you to Jing City after we get out.”
Gu Yu was stunned for a mont, then said, “Sure, of course I welco you.
Are you okay?”
Shen Yi’s body was still lying near the east gate, and with Lin Pei dead, they also had a chance to get out.
If it were her, she might want to retrieve her brother’s body.
But Shen Xin appeared to have no intention of bringing up that matter.
Xu Huo took a bungee cord from his inventory and handed it to Shen Xin.
Shen Xin reflexively reached out to grasp it, then hesitated, her voice choked with emotion, “You killed Lin Pei, this is your item…
Are you really giving this to ?
But I have nothing to trade with you.”
“Death cannot be undone, keep it as a nto, if you’d like.” Xu Huo pulled out a lighter and lit a cigarette, “If you insist on a fair trade, you could keep an eye out for any glove-type items for .”
“Thank you…
thank you…
I will definitely repay this favor!” Shen Xin said, wiping away tears.
“It’s more than a favor, it’s a life-saving grace!” Ke Liang said, “As the old saying goes, one shouldn’t say thank you for a great kindness.
If you need my help in the future, just contact .
Whether it’s money or effort, I will not let you save
in vain!”
“You’re overstating it,” Xu Huo said.
Once they confird the antitoxin was effective, there was no reason for them to stay in the dungeon, so they chose to leave.
A few seconds later, they were standing back in the haunted villa.
In the real world, it was dayti, and the familiar sounds of people and traffic reached their ears, giving them a sense of truly being alive.
But having walked the line between life and death several tis, their state of mind had completely changed.
“It’s been so quiet these past few days, I’m actually not used to hearing the sound of cars anymore,” Gu Yu said with a laugh.
“Sa here.” Having survived the ordeal, Ke Liang was also in high spirits, “I feel like having hotpot now.”
“You should go get a blood transfusion first,” Xu Huo glanced at him.
Ke Liang took out his phone and they exchanged contact information, “I’m from Sea City.
If you ever co to visit, you must contact .”
Then he thanked Xu Huo earnestly once again.
Xu Huo shook his hand and went outside to hail a taxi, sending him, Gu Yu, and Shen Xin to the hospital together.
“Xu Huo, I will call you,” Gu Yu said, holding his hand as she was about to leave, “You’d better not ignore
when I do, I have lots of items and a lot of money!
You can have anything you want!”
Before she walked out of the villa, she took special care to wipe her face, which, albeit a bit disheveled, was still quite attractive.
Her humble request to keep in touch made the taxi driver who was driving look back at her repeatedly.
Xu Huo laughed and waved goodbye to her.
After the car had driven away, he withdrew his gaze and turned to look at the corner of the villa.
“Brother Xu!” Yuan Yao was the first to leap out, followed by Huang Junjie, who was wearing a mask, and Wang Chaoqing, whose neck he was pinching.
As soon as Wang Chaoqing saw him, he grinned and said, “From a big star to a groveling lapdog, my brother is sothing else!”
Xu Huo didn’t respond to him and instead asked Yuan Yao, “What are you doing here?”
“You ca looking for Wang Chaoqing and never returned, so Huang Junjie and I ca around here to look.
Then we heard about a security guard going missing and spent so money to review surveillance footage only to realize there was sothing off with this villa,” Yuan Yao said.
“We figured you had entered a dungeon, so we waited around here.”
“Didn’t think we’d see this guy run out first.
Since we couldn’t let him escape, we caught him first, of course.”
“How are we going to deal with him?” Huang Junjie saw the traces of injuries on Xu Huo and realized that the dungeon might not have been simple.
With Wang Chaoqing tricking them like this, he would certainly not get off so easily.
“Let him go,” Xu Huo said as he hailed another taxi.
“Just let him go?” Yuan Yao said, surprised, “At the very least, beat him up to vent so anger!”
“Brother!
Brother!” Wang Chaoqing, with a strong will to survive, pleaded, “If I regard you as my elder brother, then I am your younger brother, you can’t be too harsh on your brother, right?”
Yuan Yao turned and slapped him on the head, “Shaless, calling anyone your elder brother!”
“Let him go,” Xu Huo got into the taxi and looked at the person who, after being released by Huang Junjie, appeared nervous but was shrewdly looking around, and said indifferently, “Soone will co looking for you in a couple of days, don’t wander off.
If they can’t find you, you know the consequences.”
Wang Chaoqing’s eyelids twitched and he said with a mournful face, “I’ll stay at ho and won’t go anywhere.”
