Chapter 1864: Chapter 1709: Escape Game 61

After a perilous breakfast, the three of them once again had no idea what to do. Shuangshuang shaded her eyes with her hand and looked around. "Why don’t we walk around a bit, and wherever looks safest, we’ll stay there."

Chi Qing and Lin Yu had no objections, so the three followed the road forward, being extra careful whenever they passed places like streetlights and big trees.

And if they passed by tall buildings, they had to be even more careful about what was above their heads, because there would definitely be things falling from high up.

............

A truck loaded with timber drove past them, the ropes tying the logs on the bed suddenly started snapping one after another, and in an instant the whole load of wood burst past the truck bed and scattered to both sides.

The three men beside it who didn’t have time to dodge were crushed by the thick logs in a heartbeat. Two had their chests smashed flat on the spot, and one had his neck broken.

Shuangshuang, Chi Qing, and Lin Yu were less than two meters away from the scene, watching with their own eyes as three lives vanished in an instant, and it was obvious that the three dead men were game players.

Today was already the third day of the game. After witnessing countless ways in which players died in all sorts of bizarre fashions, the three of them had gone numb, from their initial reluctance and guilt to the flat calm they felt now.

Right now Shuangshuang and the other two were just waiting for game time to end. All three were mentally exhausted, because aside from resting one night on the first day, the remaining two days they had practically not rested at all.

They finally endured until the game ended. Shuangshuang, Chi Qing, and Lin Yu only felt everything go black before their eyes, and then they were once again at the dark tunnel entrance where they had entered the game.

Along with Shuangshuang and the other two, only a mere dozen or so players appeared here. Compared to the throng of people who had come in, the number was far too small.

Chi Qing looked at the few players around them, a little brooding. "Out of the more than two hundred players who came in, only this few cleared the stage. It’s really brutal."

Lin Yu stared wearily at the passage ahead, not wanting to talk. This game had pushed both body and mind to the limit of exhaustion.

Shuangshuang was in a bad mood as well. In the previous games, she had always been able to pull all the players through together, but this time, watching players die one after another right in front of her, she truly was powerless.

This style of game, with danger lurking literally everywhere, meant that for all players, clearing the stage was something they could only rely on themselves to do.

By the end, even Chi Qing and Lin Yu were basically relying on their own strength to avoid those dangers.

Because it seemed like the game had locked onto Shuangshuang; on the last day of the game, the dangers targeting her were practically endless.

All kinds of killing moves came at her one after another without a break, leaving Shuangshuang almost completely drained as she tried to cope, with hardly any spare attention to keep an eye on the dangers Chi Qing and Lin Yu ran into.

In front of the passage, all the players’ expressions were very quiet. There was no happiness at having cleared the stage, only endless fatigue, because this game still wasn’t over; next they had to continue clearing other Escape Killing Paradises.

Even if they had survived the Death God’s amusement park, who knew what the next Escape Killing Paradise would be like, or whether they could keep clearing stages. So having only cleared one game, they really couldn’t feel happy.

Right now, with the passage out of the game just ahead of them, the players simply stepped into the passage in silence. No one had any companions who could walk with them anymore.

Shuangshuang took Chi Qing and Lin Yu into the passage. They walked forward quietly in the darkness, and when they came out of the passage, what appeared before them was the carriage of the Joyful.

The players who had once been wary of the Joyful now actually felt relieved when they saw this eerie Joyful, because everything on the Joyful was normal; at least they didn’t have to worry about danger lurking everywhere.

Chi Qing let out a long breath, his whole body relaxing a little. "Before, I thought this Joyful was pretty creepy. Now that I see it, I only have one feeling—narrow escape."

"Compared to the game, it’s indeed the Joyful that gives people more of a sense of safety, because the Joyful isn’t a game field, so there definitely won’t be any danger. Here we don’t have to keep our nerves so taut."

Lin Yu spoke as she rubbed her wrist. Her wrist had been wrenched back in the game and felt a bit uncomfortable now, but after Shuangshuang treated it for her, it was much better.

There were pharmacies in the game as well. Shuangshuang had previously paid attention to which medicines were best for accidental injuries. This time she not only bought medicine for Lin Yu, she also took the opportunity to stock up on quite a bit of medicine and various wound-dressing supplies.

All these things were now in the backpacks on their backs. With these medicines and bandages and such, they wouldn’t have to fear being unable to treat injuries even if the next game had no place like a pharmacy.

Of course, this was just Shuangshuang’s precaution. Naturally, it was still best to make sure they didn’t get hurt in the game.

After all the players came out of the passage, the game’s voice sounded: "Welcome to the players who survived this round of Escape Killing Paradise.

Next, you will have a three-day period on the Joyful for comprehensive recovery.

Players can rest easy. The Joyful has places for you to sleep, places for you to eat, and it is absolutely safe; no danger will occur.

The Joyful also has a deep sleep chamber that can effectively ease players’ mental strain so you can better face the next Escape Killing Paradise.

If everyone feels bored, you can also go to the game zone. There are all kinds of games there for players to choose from, allowing you to fully relax your body and mind."

As the game’s voice faded, the doors on the Joyful’s carriage appeared and opened again, but no matter how people looked from outside, they couldn’t see what it was like inside the Joyful—they could only see a pitch-black space.

However, no one hesitated. Everyone lined up to enter the Joyful, and once inside, they realized that the Joyful had completely changed. Previously it had just looked like a simple city bus.

But now, stepping into the Joyful again, it was hard to believe that this was inside a carriage. The interior space was vast, with a huge hall in the middle.

Right in the center of the hall, rows of massage chairs were set up for resting. On both sides of the hall were four corridors, each with a plaque hanging above.

One said Restaurant, one said Rest Room, one said Game Zone, and another said Deep Sleep Zone.

The players almost didn’t hesitate at all before heading straight for the rest rooms. In the game they had money provided by the game itself, so they weren’t short of food, they were short of rest. Now that they could rest, of course they had to rest properly.

Shuangshuang, Chi Qing, and Lin Yu were no exception. There were many rooms in the rest area, and they could enter any of them at will.

The rooms with no one in them had a display outside showing Vacant. Once a player checked in, it would show Occupied, and a room that had been checked into could only be opened from the inside, not from the outside.

As Shuangshuang went in, she greeted Lin Yu and Chi Qing: "Once you wake up, just go straight to the restaurant to eat. You don’t need to come wake me."
