Chapter 75 Blue Ice Hotel (Part 9)
In the end, Xiang Liangyu accepted the brooch given by Quan Shengyan.
Gu, who was rejected, was also making sarcastic remarks. Quan Shengyan ignored him, and his tense heart relaxed when she took it. He took off the backpack on his shoulder, took out a set of clean clothes from it, and handed it to Xiang Liangyu: "Put on this, we will have a long way to go, and the bathrobe is not suitable."
Xiang Liangyu was delighted. She had long been annoyed by the dirty and torn bathrobe. She happily took it and as she untied the belt, she seemed to have thought of something and pointed at Gu Ye: "Keep an eye on him for me."
Gu Ye retracted his gaze and snorted, then walked forward alone: "I won't peek at you, Quan Shengyan, turn around too, and you too."
Innocent Chu Li: “?”
Xiang Liangyu quickly changed her clothes and put on a brown work jumpsuit. Compared to her previous love of dressing up, Xiang Liangyu realized that she seemed to have not paid attention to her outfit for a long time, but it didn't matter.
She pinned the rosy red rose brooch on her chest, tied up her red hair that was curled by the burn, zipped up her coat and led the team: "Let's go."
The four men were already a hundred meters away from the boiling crater, but the high temperature and pungent smell remaining in the air reminded them that the distance was still not far enough. It could even be said that if the volcano erupted completely, they would surely die in this flat desert with no end in sight and no shelter at all.
Chu Li wiped the sweat from his forehead and said, "How did you get to this damn place?"
Xiang Liangyu laughed: "You may not believe this, but I was brought here by the elevator, right in the center of the lava lake."
Chu Li: "Oh, I thought you were sick again."
Xiang Liangyu: “…”
What exactly gave you the illusion?
Gu Ye looked at the electronic map and replied, "Is Xiang Liangyu sick?"
Chu Li also answered casually: "Anyway, she always does some weird things in real life, and always faints. She can even faint while eating. I wonder how a sick person like you can enter this game. The game development team must not have done any research."
Xiang Liangyu's ears were callused from hearing this: "I'll say it again, I didn't do anything weird, fainting is just low blood sugar."
Gu Ye's eyes paused, and he kept thinking about the word "faint" in his mind. He subconsciously looked back at Xiang Liangyu. After being treated by Quan Shengyan and himself, his health points returned to peak. He looked full of energy and didn't look like he would faint at all.
He turned his gaze and looked at Quan Shengyan. An unexpected idea quietly emerged in his mind. Thinking about it, he looked at the electronic screen again and said, "Okay, let's go around in circles. The sweepers are determined not to let us go back alive."
Chu Li: "No way, you two are the BOSS in the dungeon, is there nothing you can do?"
Gu Ye: "The BOSS is also the BOSS of the game area. The non-game area has its own BOSS. In layman's terms, each area has its own overlord. We have entered a territory that does not belong to us, and we are more likely to die than live."
Quan Shengyan grabbed Xiang Liangyu and said, "Don't leave. We are surrounded."
Xiang Liangyu stopped and the air was a strange blood red. Finally realizing the problem, Xiang Liangyu looked around and exclaimed, "Wow."
Chu Li couldn't utter a "wow", she could only take a breath of hot air and turned to beg Xiang Liangyu to punch her to death.
The sand was shaking, and with Xiang Liangyu as the center, five craters with a diameter of 50 meters suddenly rose up, emitting boiling magma. The magma flowed down the slope and surrounded the four of them.
Xiang Liangyu looked down and felt a familiar hot sensation licking the soles of his feet. There was a volcano under their feet.
Chu Li stamped his feet: "I know the Sweepers want us to die, but can you be a little more normal?"
Xiang Liangyu picked up Chu Li without saying anything and said, "Use your sixth sense to find a safe way out."
Chu Li gave up begging for death, grabbed her neck tightly and said: "I don't know if it's right or not, the sense of danger of the volcano behind the spring is much less than here."
Xiang Liangyu looked at Quan Shengyan and Gu Ye: "Although I really don't want to experience it again, it seems there is no other way."
Gu also took out two pairs of goggles from Quansheng's cigarette pack, one for Chu Li and one for Xiang Liangyu: "I really don't want to become a life-and-death friend with you at all."
Xiang Liangyu: "Me too."
Quan Shengyan turned his eyes away from the sky. The blood-red sky made his facial features look a little sharp. He met Xiang Liangyu's eyes and heard her say, "Wait a minute, Quan Shengyan, aren't you the manager of the Blue Ice Hotel?"
Chu Li stared at Quan Shengyan, horrified: "Are you the store manager? The manager said the store manager passed away..."
Quan Shengyan smiled slightly: "I just received a notice that I was fired."
Gu Ye laughed out loud: "You deserve it!"
As for why he was fired, Xiang Liangyu tentatively thought that it was because the system was very unhappy to see him enter the non-game area. Thinking of this, Xiang Liangyu grinned at Quan Shengyan: "Then this expelled BOSS will flee with me."
"run!"
Almost at the moment the sound fell, the ground began to shake violently, thick smoke formed an expanding mushroom cloud, and five volcanoes erupted simultaneously with a deafening roar. Countless lava spurted out , wrapped in fiery red magma, and hit the ground.
Xiang Liangyu followed Chu Li's command and shuttled through the lava. His feet had already stepped on the boiling magma. He could no longer turn back and could only charge forward.
Everything went smoothly until they reached the volcano Chu Li mentioned , but Chu Li was afraid. The lava splashing in the sky did not decrease, but became more and more as the volcano erupted. It was so dense that the lava splashed on his body, causing him excruciating pain.
It was like the end of the world.
Chu Li calmed himself down and pointed to the right: "Run over there, and rush forward in one second."
However, at the moment Xiang Liangyu landed, a huge piece of lava hit her. The shape of the lava was reflected in Xiang Liangyu's eyes: "Chu Li, I don't have hands to hold you now, crawl behind me and hold me."
As soon as Chu Li's feet touched the magma below, she screamed in pain and jumped onto Xiang Liangyu's back, hooking her neck around her. She looked as if she wished she could grow on Xiang Liangyu's body.
The lava was too big, and there was no way to run to a safe place even if he escaped. Xiang Liangyu simply made up his mind, clenched his fists, and smashed the lava hard.
Xiang Liangyu broke through the broken rocks and came to Quan Shengyan, her eyes still looking at the lava in the sky. She opened her red-hot hands towards Quan Shengyan, trembling uncontrollably. Quan Shengyan reached out and high-fived her, and her health points were restored.
Gu had also arrived at the crater. While repairing himself, he panted and said, "Xiang Liangyu, behind the volcano are all extinct volcanoes!"
Xiang Liangyu frowned and looked at Quan Shengyan. The two of them ran towards the crater together. Chu Li screamed in fear while telling them the location.
The high temperature and poisonous gas reduced her health by half.
More and more lava fell, and Xiang Liangyu had almost no place to step. She bit her lip, jumped on the spot, stepped on a piece of rapidly falling lava, and at the moment of falling, jumped to another piece of lava, repeating the process.
Chu Li was so frightened that he said, "You are so awesome."
Xiang Liangyu landed steadily on the crater, tilted his head and smiled: "Thank you."
The boiling and gushing magma showed that the crater with a diameter of 800 meters could not be forced into. Otherwise, one would fall into the sticky magma and die without a trace. Xiang Liangyu immediately decided: "Go around it."
The steep crater was uneven, and occasional spurts of lava blocked the way. Xiang Liangyu had already run halfway, and he could reach the other side by turning around.
Unfortunately, the weather was not good. The originally deep red sky became thick in the blink of an eye. Dark clouds gathered together. When the volcano erupted a thick column of fire again, thunder and lightning followed. Chu Li screamed behind him: "Stop!!"
Xiang Liangyu suddenly stopped, her body unstable, and she fell backwards and sat on the hot rocks. However, a strong lightning struck Xiang Liangyu's toes. Her pupils widened and her mind was blank for a moment. Chu Li urged from behind: "Xiang Liangyu, hurry up!"
Xiang Liangyu forced herself to come to her senses, got up from the ground, and chased after the figure of Quan Shengyan in front of her. Finally, they arrived at the other side of the crater.
Standing on the edge and looking into the vast distance, I saw that the originally flat desert now had many craters, and it was dead and lifeless.
Gu also breathed a sigh of relief and slid down . He stood next to the huge crater, and his whole body shrunk more than ten times. His voice came: "Come down, it's a dead volcano, it's not dangerous."
As Xiang Liangyu took a step, Chu Li's voice exploded in her ears: "No! Come up quickly!!"
Xiang Liangyu was stunned. Before she could react, countless pillars of fire erupted one after another, and countless lava descended like a rain of fire, leaving shadows.
Quan Shengyan frowned, as if he had thought of something, and whispered something into Xiang Liangyu's ear.
Chu Li had no intention of eavesdropping and asked in shock, "What did you say?"
Gu was also splashed with magma. He looked at the two people standing still in the high place and immediately burst into swear words: "Quan Shengyan, are you blind? What are you thinking of not taking Xiang Liangyu with you?"
Xiang Liangyu glanced up at the fireball in the air, took a deep breath, and ran down the slope, dodging the fireballs while shouting, "Chu Li! I want to complain about you! Who else?"
Chu Li covered his face: "Li Lala, Jiang Mingxian..."
Xiang Liangyu: "Li Lala! I want to complain about you! Jiang Mingxian! I want to complain about you!"
The bones are also unclear.
Quan Shengyan stood still on the edge of the volcano. He looked at Xiang Liangyu's back with a smile on his face. Lava fell around him, but did not hit him.
Ahead, at the end of countless craters, a magnificent hotel quietly emerged.
At the same time, a huge piece of lava flew in front of him, suffocating him like the sun falling and the earth being destroyed.
Quan Shengyan was unable to move. Telling this secret meant that his consciousness wanted to start to escape from the system's control, and while his consciousness escaped with him, his body could not be controlled.
His hands and feet were numb, his body was cold, and the red light illuminated his body. Quan Shengyan's smile disappeared and he closed his eyes.
The expected destruction did not come. His body was held up, shaking, and still gasping faintly.
"You are so scheming that the spring is smoking!"
Gu Ye's angry and dissatisfied voice rang in his right ear.
"Guye, I asked you to look after Chu Li, what are you doing here?"
Xiang Liangyu's slightly panting voice sounded in his left ear.
Quan Shengyan opened his eyes and ignored the desolate scene that passed by quickly. He could only see Xiang Liangyu's hair blown by the wind and her profile that made him feel at ease no matter when he looked at it.
He laughed out loud: "You came to save me?"
Xiang Liangyu glanced at Quan Shengyan and said, "Yes, I came to save you. When I turned around, I saw you lying motionless, as if you were ready to die."
Chu Li's figure ran back and forth in the crater. The volcano below erupted only once and then returned to calm, but Chu Li's heart was still uneasy. She didn't breathe a sigh of relief until three familiar figures appeared from above.
Xiang Liangyu and others landed beside Chu Li and said, "Hurry up, the time is running out, we must get in before the hotel closes! Guye, you take Chu Li with you."
Gu let go of her hand unhappily, grabbed Chu Li's collar with one hand, grabbed her and ran towards the hotel.
Xiang Liangyu put Quan Shengyan's hand on his shoulder, grabbed his wrist with one hand and supported his waist with the other, and ran forward with him.
The long-lost close distance made Quan Shengyan a little dazed. His body had regained consciousness, but he did not move.
After the surrounding potholes in the crater erupted once, they fell into complete silence, but rather than believing that the volcano returned to silence on its own, it is better to say that the cleaners stopped.
Xiang Liangyu spoke first: "Is the main system the person who created this world? Does it have a physical body?"
Quan Shengyan: "It is not the system that created this world, and as for the entity, no one knows what it is."
The hotel was just ahead, and Gu Ye and Chu Li had already arrived. Xiang Liangyu ran with Quan Shengyan, and the area covering the crater and the area where the hotel was located was half black and red and half sunset.
Under the burning red sunset light, Xiang Liangyu turned his head and said to Quan Shengyan: "You are right, maybe we have really met at some point."
After entering the game area, Xiang Liangyu held Quan Shengyan to face the sunset. The setting sun stretched their shadows very long. She looked at the employees at the hotel entrance with different expressions and said softly: "Quan Shengyan, I want to do something big."
"Will you help me?"
