Chapter 1100 A Passerby Cannon Fodder in an Infinite Flow Dimension (Part 23)
With two crisp "clangs," the clips broke.
Xie Chenzhou smoothly joined the two iron chains together, used an electric saw to cut a buckle on the protrusion above the rock wall, then tightened the iron chains, wrapped them around the buckle three times to lock them, and made a zipline more than two meters high, tilted towards the opposite bank. His movements were swift and neat.
Miaomiao remained silent and made no polite remarks. Politeness was useless now; all she had to do was land quickly and accurately in a safe position so as not to become a burden to Xie Chenzhou.
Actually, sliding across like this wasn't very safe, since the chain was rusty and their clothes were quite tough. The chain was originally one meter long on the other side, but now that Xie Chenzhou had gotten it stuck on the protrusion, it looked more than two meters long. When Miaomiao stood on it, Xie Chenzhou had to lift her up by the waist and use his clothes to wrap the chain around her.
"go!"
As Xie Chenzhou spoke, Miaomiao instinctively clenched the clothes in her hands. With the force of Xie Chenzhou's push, perhaps because of the immense strength, Miaomiao landed directly on the other side without even using much skill.
Her brother, Tan Jiashu, followed closely behind her, only two seconds apart.
Looking at the still relatively sturdy iron chain, Tan Jiashu wanted Xie Chenzhou to come over directly, but he found that, just as he was speaking, the iron chain snapped right in front of him.
"Watch out, the dimension is about to catch you."
Miaomiao tugged at her older brother and stood on either side of the iron chain. She watched as Xie Chenzhou, without hesitation, used the same method to tie the two lower iron chains high and secure them. He took off his coat, quickly twisted it into a rope, and tied it to the zipline. The moment he gripped the end of the rope, he could still feel a slight loosening sound coming from the connection of the iron chain.
This dog game had no good intentions whatsoever. He had already observed that the upper chains were less corroded and had a higher chance of passing through, while the lower chains were almost completely rotten inside.
Xie Chenzhou is not a kind-hearted person; he is a selfish and self-serving businessman.
But when facing Miaomiao, he subconsciously put her safety and happiness first, but he was not there to die.
Xie Chezhou wasn't going to waste any time. He put his clothes on the chains, then took a running start from five meters behind him, and leaped...
The iron chain behind him then emitted a "creaking" warning sound as it was about to break.
The gliding process took no more than two seconds. As soon as Xie Chenzhou reached the other side, Tan Jiashu and Miaomiao immediately grabbed his arms on either side and pulled him up with all their might.
Almost the instant Xie Chenzhou was rescued, while his body was still hanging in mid-air, the two iron chains that had just supported him snapped with a "crash" and fell into the lava, sinking heavily.
From the moment Xie Chenzhou slid out until Miaomiao and the others grabbed his arm, he was only one second away from being dragged into the sea of fire by the iron chain, making it an extremely dangerous situation.
"Brother, my life is yours now. You're practically a second parent to Miaomiao and me. We'll take good care of you from now on!"
Tan Jiashu was so frightened, or rather agitated, by the iron chain that had fallen into the lava that he was incoherent. He knew that if he were in charge, he would definitely have the three people slowly walk across the chain to ensure safety. But if they did that, given their speed, they would surely die.
Now, with the export route within reach, they've won!
The NPC hiding outside the game was completely stunned when he saw that the three people he had meticulously targeted and even set up a test for at the end had won.
But what frustrated him most was that once the game ended, he had no other options and even had to give the other person a reward.
As the three of them walked out of the exit together, the game ended with a notification sound.
The light screen in mid-air simultaneously captured the figures of Xie Chenzhou, Miaomiao, and Tan Jiashu clearly, while a cold and somewhat resentful electronic sound echoed throughout the maze.
Congratulations to players number 15, 16, and 17 for completing the game in the shortest time, setting a new record for the fastest completion time since the game's inception!
Each player will be rewarded with 10 days of health and two Warrior Stars! Housing type upgrade.
This wave of rewards is undoubtedly a devastating blow to the NPCs controlling the game.
At a normal completion rate, a reward of 10 days of health or, if you're exceptionally skilled, a maximum of one Warrior Star would already be quite remarkable.
However, in order to stop the three of them, he secretly increased the difficulty, which naturally triggered the hidden rule that "unfair difficulty corresponds to high rewards".
At this point, he could only grit his teeth and send out double Warrior Stars. This reward was so strong that it almost exhausted the energy source of his bound game. It would not be an exaggeration to say that it was "deadly" in the literal sense.
The three of them nimbly obtained their respective reward, the so-called "Warrior Star" marbles. Miaomiao glanced at the screen and saw that only three gray avatars were still stubbornly flashing, indicating that there were still players alive and struggling to survive in their desperate situation.
A thought stirred within her; she had no other recourse but to silently pray for those people.
Although she was soft-hearted, she had to complete the task while ensuring her own safety.
People have different degrees of closeness to each other, and they can only prioritize what is important and urgent. Right now, taking care of herself, her elder brother, and even Xie Chenzhou is the top priority. Her clan is "saintly," but they would never risk the safety of their own people to play the hero.
After the game finished distributing the rewards, there was only a moment of silence. Before the three of them could even say a word of acceptance, a bright light flashed and sent them out of the maze, landing them safely on a street several kilometers away from the game.
By this time, it was late at night, and the streets were deserted. Only a few buildings had people occasionally going in and out, but the number of people was not as large as during the day.
There were a few figures lurking in the shadows, wanting to do something, but when they saw the three of them together, and that two of the men were tall and had a calm demeanor, those restless figures shrank back, and none of them dared to go forward and provoke them.
"Old Tan, I remember you said you'd listen to me from now on?"
Xie Chenzhou didn't rush to move. Instead, he turned around and looked at Tan Jiashu behind him in a softer voice.
His gaze seemed calm and gentle as it fell on Tan Jiashu, but his peripheral vision was uncontrollably glued to Miaomiao's profile, his fingertips even itching slightly, as if he wanted to pull her into his arms immediately.
Throughout the journey, he suppressed his infatuation and possessiveness towards the young girl, but after escaping the life-or-death crisis, it grew even more intensely.
When Xie Chenzhou spoke, Miaomiao and Tan Jiashu, the two siblings, looked at him at the same time. Each of the three had their own judgment.
Therefore, from the moment they obtained the Warrior Star, they knew that the three of them now had enough Warrior Stars to force one of them to leave.
Miaomiao had five Warrior Stars, including the ones she found, while Tan Jiashu had four, and Xie Chenzhou had six. The three of them together had a total of 15 Warrior Stars.
Tan Jiashu frowned slightly, his heart filled with conflicting emotions. But he knew even more that if it weren't for Xie Chenzhou, he would have died in the first game long ago, never seeing his sister, and wouldn't have even survived three days in this game.
Even though he initially intended to give all his Warriors Stars to Miaomiao, Xie Chenzhou had saved their lives, so if Xie Chenzhou asked for them, he would definitely give them all without hesitation.
Forget it, at worst I can stay in this godforsaken place and keep fighting, and eventually I'll earn enough for my sister to leave.
He clenched the Warriors Star in his pocket, almost instinctively reaching for it, but Xie Chenzhou grabbed his cuff.
At this moment, Xie Chenzhou's movements were tinged with impatience and disdain, as if he had touched something troublesome. Then, he directly stuffed the six Warrior Stars, which were still warm from his body, into Tan Jiashu's hand. The smooth texture and heavy weight made Tan Jiashu speechless for a moment.
“Sinking Boat, this…”
