Chapter 1125 A Passerby Cannon Fodder in an Infinite Flow Dimension (Part 48)
Xie Chenzhou's words silenced everyone present; who didn't already know?
Greed made them ignore the virtually zero chance of death. They were afraid of dying, and ever since they came to this mirror world, they had been living in fear day and night, afraid that they would die like those other players, exploding into bubbles.
Xie Chenzhou paused, his tone softening slightly, but still carrying an undeniable force.
"Haven't you noticed? The game is afraid of us going out; it wants me and my girlfriend to die."
Why do you think it's for? Because perhaps we can destroy this mirrored world before we leave.
There is no hope if you don't try.
Is it to directly steal the Warrior Star, thus eliminating the possibility of anyone leaving, and having the winner killed by other players, or to try and believe that I, a player who obtained 15 Warrior Stars in five days and made the game fearful, can destroy this world and let you all leave alive?
You can choose for yourselves.
Xie Chenzhou's words, though blunt, were true. All the players present were fighting so hard to survive; if there was even a glimmer of hope, no one would want to die in vain.
Moreover, Xie Chenzhou and Miaomiao's strength is obvious to all. A direct confrontation would be suicidal. Furthermore, Xie Chenzhou has said a lot that the game is afraid of them, otherwise he wouldn't have instigated these players to steal their Warrior Stars.
We're all human; anyone with some education can understand these things.
With the game's endorsement, some players managed to restrain themselves from moving forward, while others simply didn't understand.
It's alright, Xie Chenzhou can also use force to teach them a lesson.
In short, 15 Warriors Stars are hardly enough to fill a gap among the players. Rather than fighting over them and causing mutual losses, it's better to wait for another possible hope.
Xie Chenzhou's encouragement was effective. Miaomiao even felt that the people who were originally somewhat numb no longer looked at her with greed and numbness, but with thirst, hope, and an absolute longing for life.
"really?"
A man asked, trembling. He had had enough of this place. He had only participated in one game and had already wet his pants, but at least he had survived by luck.
"I'll do my best. You see, it's afraid of me, isn't it?"
As Xie Chenzhou finished speaking, the electronic screen in the distance suddenly froze, its colors dimmed for a moment, and then disappeared instantly, but the photo of Xie Chenzhou and Miaomiao was gone.
His seemingly obvious attempt to cover up his guilt only made the players believe Xie Chenzhou's words even more.
Even if the hope is slim, it's still better than just waiting to die here!
The person who had tried to snatch the marble Xie Chenzhou had thrown finally emerged victorious after several rounds of fighting. However, when he opened his hand to look at the marble, he discovered it was a piece of candy covered in dirt...
The angry roars could not alleviate the pain of losing what one thought was attainable, but rather an endless despair.
The commotion in the crowd began to subside. Some people started to figure out the reason, and everyone slowly dispersed, staring at each other.
Previously, everyone wanted the marbles on Xie Chenzhou's body, but now, everyone is watching the others because they are afraid that the others will make a move on Xie Chenzhou. He might really be able to deal with the mirror world that is afraid of him and break the cage that has trapped them.
Soon, the crowd dispersed completely, leaving only scattered traces of fighting on the ground, testifying to the tense atmosphere that had just taken place.
Before leaving, everyone looked at Xie Chenzhou and Miaomiao with heavy hope in their eyes, the last straw they clung to in their desperate situation, which made Miaomiao's heart ache for no reason.
She turned her head to look at the man beside her and suddenly felt that Xie Chenzhou's words just now were not entirely a temporary expedient. Perhaps, he already had a plan in mind.
"Let's go back first; it's not safe to stay here any longer."
Xie Chenzhou raised his hand and ruffled Miaomiao's hair, his tone still calm and steady.
Miao Miao nodded and followed him. The two walked side by side back to their room on the second floor of the game building. They didn't say a word the whole way, but their tacit understanding after going through the storm was evident.
At this moment, Miaomiao was already planning in her mind how to deal with the game. Now, with what she had and what he had, it should be enough for him to denounce the game.
Miaomiao was still planning to have a good talk with Xie Chenzhou about the possibility of destroying the mirror world.
But as soon as they entered the courtyard, before they could even utter a word, Xie Chenzhou beside him suddenly staggered, his knees slamming heavily against the door with a dull thud, and he fell straight to his knees.
"Thank you, brother!"
Miaomiao's heart tightened, and she quickly squatted down to help him up, her voice filled with panic.
Only then did she see the injuries Xie Chenzhou had hidden under his clothes.
Beneath the rolled-up sleeves, several dark blue welts were clearly visible across his arm, the force of which was so strong that blood was almost seeping out.
The gap in his loosened collar revealed bruises on his neck, and his instinctive gesture of protecting his abdomen indicated that he was also injured internally...
Miao Miao instantly realized that during the fight, Xie Chenzhou had deliberately shielded her behind him, forming a barrier with his body, and most of the attacks had landed on him.
Players in Mirror World, even if they are law-abiding citizens at first, can become ruthless after one or two matches, and it wouldn't be wrong to call them outlaws.
Miaomiao thought back to when those players swarmed at her with iron bars and knives. Although she was brave at the time, she could only deal with a few of them. Xie Chenzhou, on the other hand, had to endure the attack of several people on his own, while also keeping an eye on her safety. He actually took on everything without uttering a single sound of pain. Miaomiao felt a little uneasy about this.
It was a bittersweet feeling; she didn't know what it was, but her heart was soft right now.
Miaomiao suppressed the stinging sensation in her nose and helped him slowly get up.
"Sit down quickly, I'll help you treat your wound."
The house was upgraded, so they didn't have to walk more than a few steps before they automatically entered the living room. Miaomiao helped Xie Chenzhou sit on the sofa, where a simple medical kit was placed on the table.
Miaomiao carefully rolled up his sleeve. When the iodine touched the wound, Xie Chenzhou's body stiffened almost imperceptibly, but he still endured the pain, his gaze fixed on her lowered eyes.
A fleeting glimpse of intense obsession and possessiveness crossed his eyes, followed by complete trust and gentleness.
