Chapter 119 Escape
With gray hair, bangs covering his eyes, a dirty black sweater and leather pants with holes, he looks gloomy and weird.
Behind him was the roaring sea, and the waves seemed to be able to cover him, who was frail.
At this moment, heavy snow began to fall on the island again.
Xiang Liangyu stared for a moment, then turned and walked into the cave.
As she expected, this was an abandoned mine. From the inside, one could see the mining regulations of the mine. Countless damaged mine cars blocked the track. Xiang Liangyu turned over the mine car and a dilapidated steam locomotive suddenly appeared in front of her.
"Wow, that's a lot of gold."
Several exclamations were heard one after another. There was a whole cart of gold on the carts around the mine, with a soft and uniform color.
Most of the players here are either rich or noble, and their homes are full of things like gold, so they only marveled at the amount of gold and did not reach out to touch anything.
Xiang Liangyu warned: "Don't touch anything here."
Chu Li knew how to activate the mission. She followed Xiang Liangyu and when she saw her open the train door, Chu Li got into the driver's seat with Xiang Liangyu's consent.
She fumbled around here and there, her hands and face covered in dust, but the system prompt did not sound.
Chu Li felt strange, so he left his seat, got out of the car and asked Xiang Liangyu: "I have touched everywhere, why is this happening?"
The locomotive is the opportunity for the players to escape, but now that the opportunity cannot be used, it means that they can never leave this world.
The players had already given up their interest in gold and gathered around Xiang Liangyu. After hearing this, someone asked, "Can we still get out?"
"Are you asking us to drive a train? It would be great if my driver was here. He can drive a train and also fly a plane."
"What's the big deal? My driver can even drive a tank."
Chu Li: “…”
Awesome.
Xiang Liangyu turned around and looked at Quan Shengyan. He had been on Zero Island for a long time, so he naturally knew what was going on better than Xiang Liangyu. However, Quan Shengyan shook his head and said, "I have never failed on Zero Island."
What he meant was that he didn't know about this place because the player had never lived to this place.
Xiang Liangyu blinked. This was indeed something she could guess without even thinking about it. She said to Chu Li, "Is it possible that we need to start this train?"
Chu Li had a blank expression on his face: "I can only drive a steam locomotive in mobile games. If you let me operate it in real life, I can blow this up."
"I can drive."
Just when Xiang Liangyu was struggling over whether to study and learn on the spot, a clear voice rang out and everyone turned around.
It was the man who had been reluctant to enter the mine. The light in the cave was dim, his face was obscure, and his tattered clothes blended well with the surroundings, making him look like a hard-working miner.
Xiang Liangyu looked at him.
Player personal information has been published:
【？ 】
Garbled characters. His personal information was all garbled characters, flashing and changing constantly.
In front of all the players, this person with no qualifications got into the car carrying a bucket of unknown stuff and slammed the door shut.
Xiang Liangyu whispered in Quan Shengyan's ear: "Can you see his personal information?"
Quan Shengyan was obviously surprised and said, "Players' personal information? I don't have the right to view it."
At this moment, Xiang Liangyu realized just a second ago that the personal information that appeared in front of her along with the players was only visible to her from beginning to end.
Xiang Liangyu was surprised and said, "I thought you could all see it, but there might be some gaps in information."
Quan Shengyan: "Only you can see it. If even you can't see all the information clearly, then it means that he may not be a player."
Xiang Liangyu exclaimed, looked into the car through the dusty glass, and said, "I know, I just wanted to see what he was going to do."
The boiler has been filled with coal and is burning, the steam is rising slowly, and the train starts to roar.
There was a “ding” sound in the minds of all the players, and Chu Li’s body shook as he shouted, “Here it comes!”
All the players were concentrating, waiting for the next step from the system, but no sound was heard. If it weren't for the rustling sound of electricity in their ears, indicating that the system was still working, the players would have thought that the system had malfunctioned.
Xiang Liangyu saw that no one responded and asked, "What's wrong?"
Chu Li lowered his voice: "The system is silent."
The next second, a deafening roar exploded with a sound like thunder. Xiang Liangyu suddenly opened the door and entered the train, and found that the player who started the train was squatting in a corner, holding a wire broken in half in his hand.
Xiang Liangyu immediately understood the truth of the matter. During the violent earthquake, she rushed behind the player, pushed him aside, and then quickly connected the wires.
[Congratulations to all players for successfully finding the vehicle [abandoned steam train]. All players are requested to board the train quickly. We will leave Zero Island in 30 seconds.]
[Congratulations to all players for winning the [Zero Island] in this world. The island exploration degree is 5%, the main quest has been completed, and the side quest has not been completed.]
[World settlement in progress... System failure...]
Xiang Liangyu dragged the players off the train quickly. After hearing the system's voice, all the players squeezed onto the locomotive while staggering.
The sound of collapse came from far away and got closer. The mine inside had shattered and collapsed, and was now falling rapidly towards the location of the train.
After the last player successfully boarded the car, Xiang Liangyu and Quan Shengyan worked together to manually close the car door. Chu Li suddenly threw himself on the car window and uttered a muffled voice: "Will you come back?"
Before Xiang Liangyu could answer, a gust of cold wind that was too biting to ignore blew over. Her hands were clenched by Quan Shengyan, and the turbulent sea water was gushing out of the cave with a fierce momentum.
Xiang Liangyu looked back at Chu Li through the car window, and smiled at her after half a second.
The waves suddenly invaded, and the surroundings were filled with a dim blue color.
Fortunately, seawater did not invade through the gaps in the car body.
The players felt a violent shaking, and the boiler was burning on its own, driving the car body forward.
There were piles of ruins and rocks behind and endless sea in front, but the train seemed to ignore them. Steam was rising in the sea, and its speed went from slow to fast, with an unstoppable momentum that could not be turned back.
Dozens of players were squeezed into this small locomotive. The boiler and other operating equipment alone took up two-thirds of the space in the car, and most of the players were almost lifted into the air.
No one spoke, and the train began to leave the tracks and rise along the predetermined trajectory in the sea.
Chu Li was squeezed in front of the door. She looked at the endless blue sea and a trace of sadness flashed in her eyes.
Xiang Liangyu will not return to Earth, she doesn't belong there.
Chu Li felt a little regretful that he shouldn't have been so hasty before their permanent separation. She didn't even have time to give her a hug.
She was dejected, but she caught a glimpse of a figure flashing by in her peripheral vision. She raised her head to look out the car window, and Chu Li's pupils suddenly shrank.
On the blue background of the sea, there appeared another rich red that could never appear in the sea.
Xiang Liangyu was holding hands with Quan Shengyan. The two colors, one red and one yellow, blended and collided, becoming the most eye-catching colors in the sea. Xiang Liangyu approached the car window, stretched out his hand and aligned it with Chu Li's palm on the car window to take a picture.
She opened her mouth and should have spoken something, but Chu Li could not hear it clearly in the sea.
Chu Li understood her lip language, smiled at Xiang Liangyu, and said the same thing as her: "Goodbye."
Xiang Liangyu and Quan Sheng fled in the sea of smoke, followed relentlessly by Ji Rending, who was under control, and Meng Dian, Fang Zi and four others.
After throwing the garbled player out of the car, she finally saw his eyes hidden under his hair.
One white and one green, different eyes, Ji Honeysuckle.
At this moment, the sea water was gushing out, completely submerging the mine. When Quan Shengyan's legs came into contact with the sea water, they turned into a golden fish tail, and he carried Xiang Liangyu upstream in the sea water.
Ji Rendong followed them expressionlessly, looking a little weird.
Xiang Liangyu had imagined the scene of meeting Ji Rending. Given his personality, he might just fight with her directly. Such a silent meeting was beyond her expectations.
However, when she saw the four familiar NPCs following Ji Rending behind her, with expressions that looked like copy and paste, Xiang Liangyu could be sure that they were controlled by the system.
Zhuge Xunzhen's chip was not inserted into his brain, so the system could not control him, but Xiang Liangyu really wanted to know why Quan Shengyan was not controlled.
The sea water is cold, especially in winter, it is indescribably cold.
The moment he emerged from the sea, Xiang Liangyu saw a vast expanse of white before his eyes. There was so much snow falling on the sea that it almost formed a thick layer.
Quan Shengyan hugged Xiang Liangyu's waist and looked at his old friend who . He whispered, "Xiang Liangyu, what should we do now?"
Xiang Liangyu looked up at the falling snow and said something that had nothing to do with the present moment: "Will you see the white snow drifting on the surface of the sea from the dark and dim seabed?"
Quan Shengyan was stunned and answered truthfully: "I can't see it."
Xiang Liangyu smiled softly and said, "I remember Gu Ye is also a mermaid, what are his skills?"
Quan Shengyan suddenly looked at her, and Xiang Liangyu just loosened his hand that was tightly clenched with Quan Shengyan's and swam towards Xiu Lu.
The five people had surrounded the two of them in a circle. Seeing Xiang Liangyu taking action, Quan Shengyan turned over and dived into the sea, controlling the water to prevent the others from moving forward.
But Gu is also one of the mermaid bosses in this world. His legs transform into a fish tail, the gloomy sky is instantly covered with dark clouds, and lightning flashes across the sky.
The blizzard under thunder and lightning is gentle and affectionate, yet fierce and destructive.
Gu Ye and Quan Shengyan met each other's eyes, as if the outcome of the game that had not been decided yet would be decided at this moment.
Lightning streaked across the sky with a roar. Quan Shengyan turned over and jumped into the water, coming to Xiang Liangyu's side. When Gu also sent down the first bolt of lightning, Quan Shengyan grabbed Xiang Liangyu's hand and jumped into the air.
When the powerful lightning struck, its power made a large area of the sea surface bright for a moment, and then returned to normal.
The two fell back to the sea surface. Quan Shengyan breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Fortunately, he used all his strength, otherwise he would not be able to destroy their chips."
Xiang Liangyu snorted and laughed: "Fortunately you still remembered to come and save me."
Quan Shengyan: "Of course I will come."
"Grass……"
Ji Rendong cursed inwardly. He looked at the people around him. Except for Fang Zi, they all had a deep relationship with him. He looked a little overwhelmed, but he still forced himself to curse: "Damn it!"
Meng Dian frowned, and it was obvious that the temperature here was unbearable for him: "Why are we here?"
Fang Zi was so cold that she leaned on Xiu Lu's back, unable to utter a word.
Gu Ye's face turned pale. He had never thought that his skills would cause the system chip to fail. This chip was too fragile and had absolutely nothing to do with him.
After Xiang Liangyu told them what happened, amidst everyone's stunned, angry and dissatisfied expressions, the already unstable waves suddenly rose hundreds of meters high, like a huge high wall, giving a full sense of oppression.
The island sank.
Everyone dived into the seabed, and in the rolling of the earth, Xiang Liangyu was held tightly in Quan Shengyan's arms. After an unknown amount of time, the roaring sea finally calmed down, and Xiang Liangyu was the first to surface. What came into view was a train floating on the sea.
The snow had stopped and the sun was rising from the sea level, casting a golden glow.
What a beautiful and reassuring scene, just like the calm after everything has settled.
But Xiang Liangyu knew that this was not the calm after the dust settled, but the quietness before the storm.
The final destination of this train is no longer the endless world, but the beginning of the world - the Life Tower of Cloud City.
Someone patted her on the shoulder. Xiu Lu carried Fang Zi on her back and got into the car. She said, "Get in the car and go find the system."
Ji Rendong climbed into the car, cursing: "I'm going to blow him up alive!"
Meng Dian followed closely behind, and it was obvious that he was also very angry.
Gu angrily pushed away Xiang Liangyu and Quan Shengyan who were blocking the door and said, "Are you satisfied now? If I can't kill the system, I will die. It's so annoying!"
Xiu Lu looked at Xiang Liang Yu who was still underwater and asked in confusion, "Aren't you guys coming up?"
Gu Ye reacted most violently. He just sat on the chair and stood up again. He pulled the two people out of the water and glared at them: "I'm warning you, you caused me to damage all the chips given by the system. I have now been identified as a traitor by the system. You'd better not go back on your word and cooperate with the system."
"Otherwise!" Gu Ye suppressed his anger, "I will not let you go even if I become a ghost!"
Xiang Liangyu: “…”
She was silent for a moment. When the door closed and the train started, Xiang Liangyu couldn't help laughing: "My plan is to be alone..."
"Oh, then you can add six more people to the original number."
