Chapter 105.1: Xishan Residential Area (25)

  Originally, the audience in the livestream room was extremely nervous, fearing that the players might be wiped out directly here. However, they heard what Xia Wuyan had to say.

The audience in the livestream room was shocked.

[This guy is really a pervert. He’s gone all out for...rape and pillage?]

[I can understand the idea of love! But forcing love on a chubby guy just stops me in my tracks! The problem is, I strangely find it quite reasonable, which is really mind-boggling.]

[He let the players in the laboratory just to catch them, right? This boss is too ruthless. He’s probably scaring this chubby guy first, then threatening him in desperation. Who wouldn’t compromise in such a situation, unless they don’t want to live.]

[Well...this might just be true love. At least, he won’t completely wipe them out. As long as they cling to the boss’s thigh, they should be able to survive until the day they clear the instance.]

With a deadly shadow in front and the mother gu behind, the three were trapped in the middle.

Even around them, there were red bugs of various sizes. Although they hadn’t pounced yet, they were watching them greedily, with eyes full of desire, looking extremely eerie.

They had no way to escape.

It seemed that besides compromise, there was no other choice, and the outcome was also predictable.

Ruan Qing held onto his sleeve tightly, his hand turning somewhat pale from the grip, but he didn’t say anything.

His combat power was almost negligible, and his running speed was very slow. He definitely couldn’t escape if he was abandoned.

But the advanced male player, hypnotized by him, couldn’t bear to leave him behind.

However, Ruan Qing had not given any orders yet. The advanced male player stood in front of Ruan Qing, looking around vigilantly.

There was no intention of handing over the person in exchange for a chance to survive.

Even the tall player didn’t seem to have that intention, and they all stared around as if facing a formidable enemy.

As if looking for a chance to break out.

Even if the chance of survival was very slim.

Ruan Qing looked up at the stream that had made the sound before he spoke hoarsely, “Teacher Xia...”

Before Ruan Qing finished speaking, Xia Wuyan calmly reminded him, “Mr. Li, please consider carefully. My little pet doesn’t have my patience.”

Although Xia Wuyan’s words sounded gentlemanly, their meaning was very clear: either compromise or...die.

This was a blatant threat.

But he did indeed have the capital to threaten.

“If I agree, can you let my friends go?” Ruan Qing looked at the camera, as if he could see the person behind it.

“This may be a bit difficult... After all, they already know what they shouldn’t.”

“But since it’s Mr. Li’s request, I won’t let you down.”

“As long as you choose to be with me, I can let them leave Xishan Kindergarten.”

What would happen after leaving Xishan Kindergarten, he couldn’t guarantee.

Ruan Qing thought for a moment, as if he had made up his mind, and continued, “Can you give me a little more time?”

“Just one minute. I want to say goodbye to my friends.”

Ruan Qing’s words clearly showed that he agreed to compromise.

Xia Wuyan smiled lightly at the words and spoke slowly, “Of course.”

Ruan Qing waved to the two players, as if he really wanted to say goodbye to them.

The two approached.

The advanced male player held the knife tightly in his hand, his eyes extremely cold.

But the next second, he seemed to have misunderstood.

Ruan Qing lowered his voice, speaking in a tone that only the three of them could hear, “Outside in the direction of three o’clock is the playground. You can leave Xishan Kindergarten through the playground in the shortest distance.”

Seeing that the tall player was about to turn around instinctively, Ruan Qing immediately reminded, “Don’t turn around.”

The tall player controlled his impulse to turn around and said softly, “But there is no way out there. I’ve seen it. There is only one exit in this laboratory where we came in.”

However, this exit was now blocked directly by the shadow, and approaching that door would be like walking into a death trap.

They were very likely to be wiped out in this place.

Ruan Qing didn’t comment on the tall player’s words. He looked at the two of them and asked in a low voice, “Do you have fire?”

The tall player hesitated for a moment, but nodded. He thought Ruan Qing wanted to use fire to burn these red insects.

He disagreed and said, “The walls here are specially made, and there is glass everywhere. There’s basically nothing flammable, and even if you light a fire, it may not catch.”

“And most importantly, these insects may not be afraid of fire.” The tall player scanned the red insects around them vigilantly. “If it doesn’t work, we’ll block our own way with fire, making us even more passive.”

Ruan Qing glanced at the tall player without explaining anything and directly reached out to him, saying, “Give me the lighter.”

Because the voices of the three people were too low, Xia Wuyan couldn’t hear what they were saying. He looked at the three who had gathered somewhat closely, a bit displeased. He lightly tapped the table, a casual reminder, “Mr. Li, there are only 10 seconds left.”

Although Xia Wuyan’s words were very plain, they felt like a countdown to death, sending shivers down one’s spine.

The tall player’s heart tightened upon hearing this and looked at Ruan Qing. Under Ruan Qing’s urging gaze, he handed over the lighter.

Ruan Qing tightened his grip on the lighter and quickly spoke in a hushed voice, “After I count to three, retreat towards nine o’clock and immediately lie down against the wall.”

“After hearing the explosion, don’t pay attention to anything else, just rush out towards three o’clock.”

Ruan Qing didn’t care whether the tall player understood or not and began counting.

“One.”

“Two.”

Xia Wuyan chuckled, “Mr. Li, time’s up.”

“Three.”

After counting to three, Ruan Qing didn’t pay any attention to Xia Wuyan. He simply threw the bottle in his hand towards the three o’clock direction.

The bottle hit the wall and shattered, instantly releasing a colorless, transparent smoky liquid.

At the same time, the advanced male player immediately pulled Ruan Qing back while he retreated. Ruan Qing didn’t resist.

As he retreated, Ruan Qing took out the lighter and ignited it. Then, without looking back, he threw it backward.

The lighter traced a graceful arc in the air and finally landed on the liquid that had just spilled.

At the moment the flame touched the liquid, the small flame rapidly expanded like a wildfire.

With a loud “bang,” the explosion almost echoed through the sky.

Even the entire building trembled violently.

In the next second, the special material wall was blown open with a large hole, and even a large piece of the roof collapsed.

A gap was blown at the junction between the basement and the first floor.

Even the specially made walls began to burn, and the gap caused by the explosion was rapidly corroding, allowing light to shine through.

The advanced male player had already hugged Ruan Qing and thrown himself to the ground even before the explosion, tightly protecting him in his arms.

But the tall player was a step slower, nearly caught in the aftermath of the explosion. Fortunately, he had an item on him that protected him for a moment.

The three of them didn’t have time to calm their emotions. They immediately got up and rushed towards the gap just created by the explosion.

Ruan Qing was too slow, and the gap was positioned high; he couldn’t jump up at all.

The advanced male player didn’t hesitate at all. He picked him up horizontally and leaped from the exploding gap, heading straight out.

Ruan Qing didn’t struggle either; he obediently held onto the advanced male player’s neck, staying in his embrace without causing any trouble.

Xia Wuyan looked at the destroyed wall with an unpleasant expression. The figures of the three who had already rushed out. He knocked on the table, coldly uttering one word: “Chase.”

Countless dark figures rushed towards the exploded wall in an instant.

However, the red insects seemed restless, hesitating to chase.

The three had already reached the playground. The tall player turned back, looking puzzled at the shattered wall, and he panted as he asked, “What was in that bottle just now?”

Ruan Qing, holding onto the advanced male player’s neck, calmly replied, “Perchloric acid.”

The tall player: “???” What is that?

Seeing that the tall player still seemed clueless, Ruan Qing briefly explained, “Perchloric acid is the leader of the six strong inorganic acids. It has strong oxidizing and corrosive properties, and it explodes when heated.”

“I saw it on the lab table when I was looking for information, so I took it casually.”

Ruan Qing’s tone was casual, but the tall player subconsciously swallowed.

He felt that the person in front of him was a bit terrifying.

To carry a highly dangerous chemical corrosion agent like that, wasn’t it too risky? What if it accidentally broke... wouldn’t that be game over?

And most people wouldn’t even recognize these chemicals, right?

Could it be that this person was a scientist before entering the world of the infinite horror game?

The tall player found it highly likely.

The shadow’s speed was extremely fast, but it seemed it couldn’t stay in the sunlight for too long. Once it ran a short distance, it had to linger in the shadows for a few seconds.

Then it continued chasing after the three.

This gave Ruan Qing and the others a chance to catch their breath.

The three of them tried to avoid the shadows and ran outward. For a while, the shadows couldn’t catch up to them.

Just as the three of them were about to run away from the playground, Ruan Qing saw a familiar figure on the field and immediately spoke up, “Take that child away.”
