Infinite: Dawn Game

Chapter 686 Escape

“…Brother Wu…Hui…Min…Hui Min is also…on this ship…”

A fleeting hint of regret appeared in Wang Jisen's cold pupils, only to be quickly swallowed by the chilling, lifeless light—"Huimin...is also...on this...ship...ah..."

"..."

Boom!

An unknown number of thunderclaps, accompanied by lightning, struck the deck, illuminating the dense, dark horizontal pupils on Angkor's face.

Hengtong, who should have been filled with all sorts of strange and twisted emotions, was now completely stunned, revealing only shock and intense fear.

"What nonsense are you spouting!"

Angkor's sudden roar echoed across the deck, which had been battered by the torrential rain, and all the crew NPCs and the corrupted players turned to look.

Xu Han and Brother Zhu were among them.

Once he regained his senses, Zhu Ge stopped recklessly trying to drain the water and started taking every opportunity to get close to Xu Han.

He naturally didn't miss Xu Han's seemingly "sneaky" but actually very obvious "moving activity"—seeing that Xu Han didn't want others to find out, Brother Zhu chose to pretend he didn't see it.

Seeing the earth-shattering roar between Wu Ge and Wang Ji, Zhu Ge naturally wouldn't let this opportunity pass.

He leaned closer to Xu Han, glancing casually at the hold door pinned down by the wooden barrel out of the corner of his eye. "What happened to them?"

Xu Han glanced at Brother Wu and Wang Ji, who were "arguing" over there, and had a guess in his mind, but he didn't want to say it, and was afraid that he was wrong.

"……I have no idea."

Xu Han casually shook the basin of water in his hand, then bent down and splashed another basin of water over the railing. "Maybe we're about to pass the level?"

Brother Zhu: "..."

His lips twitched, and he sighed, "That's better than us living in constant fear—"

Before Brother Zhu could finish speaking, Brother Wu and Wang Ji, who were "arguing," suddenly roared and started fighting. Brother Wu kept making loud, agonizing cries, as if he was questioning Wang Ji.

The rain poured down, thunder rumbled, and lightning flashed intermittently on the two people on the deck, illuminating their current state clearly.

Zhu squinted, trying to get closer to see through the rain and mist, but he couldn't see very clearly.

"do not move!"

Xu Han felt a chill run down his spine and quickly grabbed Zhu Ge's arm, staggering backward step by step.

"Brother Zhu," Xu Han's voice was a little hoarse, he whispered, "Don't move around, let's hurry, let's find a place to hide, hide..."

Zhu was a little dazed by the pull, but he didn't say much and followed Xu Han's force to retreat into the cabin.

Xu Han was running ahead, stumbling and swaying, his tailbone still throbbing.

But Xu Han didn't dare to stop.

Nothing else... His eyesight is quite good, and he doesn't have any minor problems like nearsightedness or astigmatism. His excellent eyesight allowed him to see Angkor and Wang Ji's situation through the rain and fog and the occasional erratic lightning as if it were a high-definition, uncensored horror movie.

Angkor Wat features a body covered in eyeballs and a half-corpse-like, bluish-purple ram-headed man named Wang Ji.

Anyone with a modicum of sense would run away if they saw this.

Xu Han was as rational as could be, so he frantically grabbed Brother Zhu and ran away.

Zhu Ge, who was following behind him, hesitated for a moment. This man, who had done a lot of rough and heavy work in real life, looked at Xu Han's unsteady back as he walked, and simply hoisted the tall boy in front of him onto his shoulder and rushed forward.

Xu Han, who was suddenly hoisted up by the waist, exclaimed: "????! ...

Holy crap, holy crap, holy crap—ugh!

Xu Han, whose stomach was being pressed against Zhu Ge's shoulder, finally understood the discomfort He Lingling had felt earlier; he was almost ready to vomit.

Zhu, who was carrying him, was still asking, "Where are we going! Where are we going to hide?!"

"vomit--"

Brother Zhu was startled and quickly moved Xu Han forward, saying, "No, I'm sorry, I didn't notice."

After the feeling of pressure on his stomach eased slightly, Xu Han said weakly:

"First, let's go back to the dormitory, no, that's not right, let's go, let's go hide in the canteen!"

The dormitory was, after all, the base camp for the crew NPCs, and Xu Han was still a little afraid that the NPCs would go back later.

Zhu Ge was very obedient—or perhaps scared—and ran towards the cabin door as Xu Han instructed.

Xu Han was still a bit uncomfortable from the rocking, but it was better than before, which gave him some energy to look back—and then he was shocked to find that only a few scattered players with ram horns were running with him, and only one crew NPC was running towards the cabin...

and many more!

Xu Han shivered and turned his head with difficulty to look at the only crew NPC.

It really was Ah Jin.

Ah Jin followed behind several players with his head down. Unlike the players who kept looking back while running, he simply kept his head down and showed no sign of turning back.

"I rely on..."

Xu Han was a little confused and muttered, "Why is he running with the crowd too?"

Even NPCs are afraid of the bewitched Angkor and Wang Ji?

He felt there was something strange about this guess.

Zhu Ge was baffled and subconsciously said, "Escaping for one's life depends on the person?"

"..."

Xu Han was taken aback. He glanced at A Jin, who was running with the remaining players, and hesitated for a few seconds before deciding not to say anything.

Putting everything else aside... with Ajin's appearance being even more normal than the players', it's hard to say who will bite whom later.

He'd better not meddle in other people's business—Xu Han wouldn't admit that he was a little afraid of those strange-looking players.

It wasn't that Xu Han was afraid; it was just that those players seemed hopeless... The only reason they were still running away was because their remaining rationality was urging them to instinctively flee...

Thinking of this, Xu Han even briefly forgot how disheveled he looked as he was being carried away, and felt a little guilty.

Sigh... what a pity.

If he had the same talent and skills as Anjie and Shijiu... he would also work hard for it.

But Xu Han was just a lowly support doctor, so he could only turn a blind eye to the players who were fleeing in all directions.

Even if Xu Han knew... a large number of players would probably die first thing tomorrow morning.

It's a bit tragic.

Xu Han wiped his face, directed Brother Zhu to turn, and said with a bitter face:

"Over there, over there, oh my god, I'm so hypocritical..."

Brother Zhu, who couldn't understand a word he was saying: "..."

Brother Zhu ran forward with his head down and the heavy load on his back.

If he's still thinking about other things at this point, then he's simply out of his mind...

----------

Three-story ship cabin staircase.

As soon as Yu Shijiu and Lu Chusheng stepped onto the stairs, they heard a series of chaotic footsteps. The two exchanged a glance and quickly ran to the end of the stairs.

The stairwell doors on the third deck were wide open, and two familiar figures ran quickly forward with their backs to them, seemingly trying to slide down to their knees into the densely packed crowd kneeling not far away.

Yu Shijiu and Lu Chusheng: "..."
