Game Loading Chapter 110-111

Open World 35

Xie Xi said he didn't want to act together but most people followed him when they walked into the maze.

The labyrinth route was very complicated. After more than 10 hours of exploration from previous groups, some roads were found and they cleared to at least the third corner.

Xie Xi didn't care about anybody else and walked forward with Zhu Li's group.

The roads had been explored but the hardships could be seen.

The roads in the labyrinth weren't narrow. It could accommodate four or five people walking next to each other. It was just that the walls were high, as if connected to the sky. It gave a huge sense of oppression and compressed the world.

Many of the people who entered for the first time looked around with vigilance and surprise.

Xie Xi was also seriously scrutinizing the walls. There were clear traces of fighting and zombie corpses everywhere. It was probably Zhuang Yi's credit that these zombie corpses weren't complete and now only had a head and body.

Jiang Xie could turn them all into roses but this would affect Xie Xi's judgment.

He might not be able to bear it but he couldn't block the child's sunny growth.

Xie Xi told him softly, "The first corner seems to be a zombie blockade." Based on the number of bodies, it could be seen that they were basically concentrated in this place.

Jiang Xie nodded.

Xie Xi and Jiang Xie had slept together, cultivating a high level of understanding. For example, as a student, Xie Xi liked to discuss his thoughts with Teacher Jiang.

"After the first corner, Zhang Ruizhen suffered a chase from behind only to touch the wall at the second corner.

This wasn't the real wall. The second corner had a trap which was a moving iron thorns wall. In this enclosed space, the rapidly advancing wall made people hide.

Cao Yan interjected, "That trash Zhang Ruizhen, he unexpectedly used his group members to block the wall!"

The second corner was very disgusting. As long as they made it through the first corner, there would be a large number of zombies attacking from behind while in front was a wall with iron thorns. This made it very hard to understand the situation.

Zhang Ruizhen probably accidentally found that manpower could slow down the speed of the iron thorns wall. Thus, he deliberately placed people in front to slow it down and used this opportunity to handle the zombies behind. After cleaning up the zombies, he used the flesh and blood on the wall to find the mechanism to turn it off.

Xie Xi's brow furrowed. "Why didn't he used the zombies to slow down the advancement of the iron wall?"

This is the real way to break the game, seemingly back and forth, in fact, as long as they fought and retreated, they could use the zombies to block the wall. This was killing two birds with one stone. They could clean up both the zombies and slow down the wall, thus finding the mechanism and opening the exit.

Jiang Xie's lips curved. "You are really clever."

Xie Xi refused to fall for this and asked, "Does Teacher have other methods?"

"Well…" Jiang Xie pondered for a moment before sighing. "There is."

Xie Xi was quite curious. "Please tell me."

Jiang Xie spoke seriously but he couldn't help thinking in his heart, 'You are still flirty!'

"You can pass as long as you break the iron wall." Xie Xi couldn't help muttering. "Brute."

Jiang Xie's face showed no shame. "I have strength while you have the brains. This is called a perfect pair."

Xie Xi, "……"

He was speechless since Jiang Xie was saying that he had no brains! Although he really didn't have brains this time…

Jiang Xie continued, "In fact, I always used this method to make it through labyrinths."

The four half zombies looked at the wall beside them with frightened faces and wondered, "This can be punched through?"

Jiang Xie smiled. "Shall I show you?"

The quartet immediately made adoring faces. "Bigshot, please!"

Jiang Xie rolled up his sleeves…

Xie Xi stared at the five people silently. One loved demonstrating and four loved watching.

Jiang Xie rolled down his sleeves. "Your boss won't let me."

The stupidest Zhu Li spoke excitedly, "Boss, please approve it. We want to see it."

Xie Xi, "………." What did it have to do with him?

Jiang Xie spoke helpless, "I am a henpecked man. He is frowning and I don't dare move."

Xie Xi was startled and blushed. That… Jiang Xie often said this in bed in the dream. Say yes and he would do it… H-He dared to stop moving!

Xie Xi's voice was angry, "You aren't going?"

Jiang Xie gave a salute. "Go!"

He turned towards the group of four and indicated, 'There is no way, I am like this. My wife is the sky.'

The group of four, "……."

Apart from the incomprehensible Old Zhu, the other three empathized with each other.

The wall didn't break but their stomachs were almost broken by the dog food. They reached the third corner and encountered a multiple choice question.

This corner looked safe with only two towering doors. One door looked cold and had a curved moon on it while the other door looked like red-hot iron with a round sun on it.

Cao Yan wondered, "A moon door and sun door?"

He turned towards Xie Xi. "Boss, which door are you going through?"

Xie Xi stared at the two doors and his heart already had an idea. His main task was related to the sun and he would surely walk through the sun door. This didn't mean that the sun door was the right path.

Xie Xi told them, "I'm going to the sun door…"

He hadn't finished when Zhu Li said, "Okay, we'll go to the sun door."

Xie Xi finished his words. 'It is because my task is related to the sun door. However, this door isn't necessarily correct. You should think clearly."

Most of their main tasks were to explore the labyrinth or to kill Xifu. None of them had a task to appreciate the newborn sun like Xie Xi.

"We will follow Boss," Cao Yan replied as the representative of the group of four.

Xie Xi told them, "It could be a waste of effort."

"We would already be dead if it wasn't for Boss."

Xie Xi was startled.

Zhuang Yi said, "If it is dangerous, we can find a way to help."

The words made Xie Xi's heart feel warm.

The four of them weren't weak. With their zombie arms and legs, they weren't much worse than Jiang Xie when combined together.

Xie Xi might be able to casually change limbs but the prerequisite was that there were limbs to change with. This sun door gave off the feeling of fire. Would there really be zombie limbs?

It was hard to say. Nevertheless, they didn't hesitate to follow Xie Xi because they wanted to help with Xie Xi's task.

Jiang Xie spoke up. "Going together isn't wrong." In this multiple choice question, it wasn't wrong to follow the emperor of luck.

For example, if Yan Zhe encountered this situation, he would always ask for Old Jiang's opinion.

If Old Jiang picked the sun door, they would go straight to the moon door!

Jiang Xie recognized Xie Xi's good luck but the quartet didn't know about it.

Xie Xi looked at him. 'Such luck…'

Jiang Xie's lips curved. 'You are a person with God's favour.'

Xie Xi blinked.

Jiang Xie leaned close to him and whispered, "My luck is probably that of a man abandoned by God. We are really the perfect…"

He was mentioning the same thing again! He could never be serious!

Xie Xi glared at him. "Wait for this world to be over…"

Jiang Xie stared at the blood red -365 and calmed down, but he still stubbornly said, "Once we leave the world, we will naturally…"

Xie Xi raised his eyebrows.

Jiang Xie guiltily changed his words, "It might not be a natural pair but we are still a pair!"

If they weren't a pair, he was going to pull Xie Xi to be a pair!

Open World 36

Xie Xi spat out in his heart, 'It is impossible if he wants to be together' Who knew how many souls this person still had wandering outside?!

There was only one Xie Xi and 'hundreds' of Jiang Xie. How could they be a natural pair?

Wait, who wanted to pair up with him? It wasn't Bluetooth and Bluetooth!

Xie Xi no longer cared about Jiang Xie in case he forgot things.

Jiang Xie stared hard at the -365. 'What crazy thing did I do to make the child hate me so much?'

Could it be… well, it couldn't be too extreme or Xie Xi would've already broken their relationship.

It was a pity for Old Jiang. He broke his head thinking about it but didn't expect it was due to the worlds he designed.

Don't mention the Quasi-World Protection Law. Even if he didn't sign this, his amnesiac brain couldn't imagine that the quasi-worlds he designed would be like that.

After all, his original purpose for designing those worlds was very serious, whether it was getting rid of demons for the people (Love to the Left or Right) or land and sea coexistence and environmental disputes (Lost Atlantis)…

In any case, he didn't imagine his love scrambled brain would make himself wear a green hat! (TL: Means your significant other cheated on you)

Xie Xi opened his mouth. "Let's go in and see."

Xie Xi's mood was a bit complicated as he was about to open the door. He wanted to complete the task and leave the open world, but he also didn't want to.

The Jiang Xie in front of him was strange and familiar. What about after they returned to Central?

Xie Xi didn't like X. It was the designer X who stayed in the rose garden and saw through everything. Xie Xi always felt like there was an inexplicable sense of distance between them. But…

X was Jiang Xie and Jiang Xie was X. They were the same person from beginning to end.

Xie Xi retracted his thoughts and stared a the sun door.

Sure enough, the red door indicated the heat. After pushing the door open a crack, Xie Xi felt the blazing heat.

Jiang Xie moved forward first. "Be careful." He completely pushed the door open.

Xie Xi's eyes fell on his hand.

Jiang Xie reassured him. "I'm fine. I have thick skin."

Xie Xi, "…"

Jiang Xie continued, "My skin is thick but my face is thin."

Don't mention Xie Xi, even the group of four had a toothache at the words. They were afraid they wouldn't be able to handle the word 'thin-skinned' later on.

Xie Xi was too lazy to care about this and picked up Jiang Xie's hand. Sure enough, it was red and blistered. Xie Xi had just discovered that the temperature of the door was becoming hotter and hotter. Jiang Xie had pushed it open and the final temperature must be very high.

Jiang Xie had been enduring it and finally couldn't hold back. "Or you can blow on it for me."

Xie Xi glared at him. "Do you think I have a magic breath?"

"It is my magic breath."

Xie Xi, "……"

The four people silently turned away and cough… they learnt it.

Xie Xi was both distressed and angry. He finally cruelly opened his claws, "It might hurt but this side has no medicine."

Jiang Xie was afraid that he was worried. "It really doesn't hurt."

Xie Xi wouldn't blow on it in front of people and stared intently inside the door.

The door opened and there was a sea of fire inside. It seemed there was no place for anyone to move. The people who originally wanted to follow silently retreated when they saw this.

They didn't have to go in. Just looking showed that it was dangerous.

Cao Yan suggested, "I'll go and see first." He went in while spraying fire from his mouth.

Zhu Li hurriedly said, "I'll go with him." They both had fire related skills that could act as an anti-fire curtain for a bit.

Xie Xi didn't feel urgent. He waited for the two fire-resistant people to probe a bit before going in.

The next minute, Cao Yan and Zhu Li came out. "The inside is full of fire but fortunately, there is no smoke. We can pass as long as we're careful."

There was no water around and no way to wet their clothes. The possibility of ignition was extremely high once entering. Since the inside was full of fire, how could they extinguish the fire? It would be a mess if many people entered.

The people who waited to see really didn't want to enter this door. They felt it was too dangerous.

Xie Xi might be able to give people arms and legs but it wasn't useful in this fire. The fire might burn to the point where it couldn't be repaired.

It was natural to feel cautious. Xie Xi had no opinion on this. He wouldn't lead others or refuse others. It was like the two doors in the labyrinth. Everyone had the right to choose.

Cao Yan took the initiative. "I will go ahead." He could resist fire and his arms could be burned casually. He wasn't afraid of pain.

Zhu Li said, "I'll be in the rear." He could fight the fire but his zombie leg was needed to move. If he burned himself, he would just be cumbersome.

Zhuo Liu and Zhuang Yi might not be fire resistant but they were agile and their self-preservation wasn't weak.

Xie Xi wasn't weak at all. His beginner qualifications were almost full and he was stronger than most newcomers.

The quarter meant to have him in the middle but Xie Xi shook his head. "My eyesight is better. I will follow behind Cao Yan." If he went ahead, he could see more clearly and spot any changes.

Zhu Li wanted to argue when Jiang Xie told them, "Don't you trust in your boss?"

Zhu Li was stunned before his spirit returned. Yes, their boss wasn't a pure healer. He was a vigorous and decisive frontline warrior with accurate judgment!

Remember the chicken mobilization game where Yun Die tried a sneak attack. The quarter hadn't reacted but their boss had long held a gun and didn't hesitate to shoot the woman. If it wasn't for their boss, who knows how many times they would've died!

Zhu Li scratched his head. "I was confused!"

The lineup was settled. Cao Yan was in front, Xie Xi second, Jiang Xie naturally relied on his wife (not), Zhuo Liu and Zhuang Yi were next and Zhu Li was last.

Other people wanted to follow but they couldn't control that many people. This was a narrow path. The group would lead the way and the other people could only follow. It couldn't be helped if they couldn't keep up.

The entire procession went in. They entered the door and it was all fire. The other people couldn't see and Cao Yan and Zhu Li couldn't rely on their fire-resistance to search for the path. It was extremely difficult to find.

Xie Xi played his role and stretched out his five senses to the extreme.

His eyes stared at the fiery red and his ears listened to the sizzling fire. He was extremely focused because he was afraid something would pop out of the fire.

They walked like this for half an hour and everyone was sweaty.

Cao Yan wondered, "How long is this road?"

Xie Xi bowed his head and looked. "Go further."

They had been marking their way since they set off. If they were walking in a circle, they would see the marks left behind.

Cao Yan knew this and replied, "Okay."

He stopped after three steps. There was no need for him to speak as Xie Xi had already seen the marks they left behind. It was really a circle…

It seemed they couldn't just walk straight through this corner.

Cao Yan asked, “What do we do? If we go in a circle then we can't leave."

This situation couldn't last long. Cao Yan and Zhu Li couldn't withstand this heat, let alone other people.

Xie Xi frowned and thought about it. "Walk a bit longer. I feel like I heard something before."

Jiang Xie's lips curved. He hadn't said anything because pretending to be deaf had many benefits. His ears were good but it wasn't worth fighting.

Besides, his hearing wasn't in line with the restrictions of the open world. If he solved everything, was there any fun in the game?

It was fortunate that Qin Ge and Yan Zhe weren't here to hear him or they would surely swear at him. 'What do you know about having fun in the game?'

The other four were confused. "Was there a sound?"

Xie Xi replied, "I'm not sure either but it was like… the crying of a child."

Zhuo Liu wondered, "A child crying? How can there be a child in this place?"

Cao Yan called out, "Let's go! If this is a circle, we will definitely pass by it. Boss, listen carefully."

They really didn't hear anything. It was probably because Xie Xi's hearing qualifications were higher.

The reason why Xie Xi didn't tell them to stop previously was because he wasn't sure the sound was a clue. It would've been good if they could go outside in one trip.

Now it seemed like the path was circular and he had to rethink things.

He was more focused than before. His whole body was red from the fire but his eyes were always calm.

In fact, Xie Xi was very nervous. Everyone had come in this door because of him. If he couldn't bring them out then…

He couldn't think about it. They had to leave! Xie Xi listened intently and after 10 minutes of walking, he whispered, "Stop!"

It was here. Previously it was vague but now that he was listening more clearly, it was definitely a child crying.

Xie Xi asked them, "Do you hear it?"

The quarter shook their head. They couldn't hear anything over the sound of the fire.

Xie Xi listened for a moment and was quite certain. "It is a young child in the 9 o'clock direction."

The group looked that way and Zhu Li became startled, "Indeed!"

Now that he looked seriously, he actually could see a red baby in the flames.

He floated in the flames but wasn't burnt. He just cried fiercely and his voice became louder and louder, allowing everyone to hear it.

Zhu Li said, "I'll go over and take a look."

Xie Xi grabbed his clothes. "Can you do it?"

"I won't die."

“Don't worry.” Xie Xi suddenly said. "He seems to have discovered us."

The little baby discovered that someone was watching him. He cried a bit before tilting his head and looking over.

Miraculously, the flames became smaller the moment he stopped crying. It was originally sky high but now it was the height of a bush.

The group's eyes brightened. "This child is the key!"

Unfortunately, it only lasted a moment. The child started crying again and the flames became bigger than before.

Zhu Li said again, "I'll go and check the situation." It would be easy to get out of here if they could keep the child from crying.

However, there was no need to walk over as the child moved towards them while crying.

The baby was white and tender and wasn't burned by the fire. The tears that he wept dried instantly and only his pitiful voice could be seen.

After approaching, Zhu Li couldn't help whispering, "Little baby, don't cry."

The baby looked at him and cried even more fiercely!

Zhu Li, “…”

Zhuang Yi looked like a woman and should have a higher affinity with the baby. He tried to make his voice gentle, "Little guy…"

There was no need to look. The baby directly howled and the fire grew wilder!

The narrow trails became narrower and several people were afraid to move.

Zhuo Liu didn't dare go forward.

The baby cried for a while before the sound became smaller and more wronged. "Mummy, Mummy and Daddy doesn't want me."

The crowd was stunned. Who were his Mummy and Daddy?

Then a scene occurred that made people even more stunned. Jiang Xie leaned over and hugged the baby. "Okay, don't cry."

Unexpectedly, the baby really didn't cry. He stared at Jiang Xie and murmured, "Daddy…" Then he couldn't endure it anymore and howled.

This was a terrible situation!

Flames were emitted from the baby and Zhuo Liu and Zhuang Yi quickly hid in case they were burnt!

Miraculously, Jiang Xie wasn't burned. His handsome features in the fire were particularly dazzling and his gentle voice was heard, "Your mummy is here. He won't hug you until you stop crying."

It actually worked! The baby didn't cry!

The quartet was horrified and wondered, 'Which bastard did you make this illegitimate child with?'

Then Jiang Xie held out the child towards Xie Xi and said, "Don't burn your mother."

Xie Xi, "???"

He took the baby and stared at him.

The baby stared back for a moment before smiling. "Mummy!"

It was so loud that the people outside the door could probably hear it! At the same time, all the flames were extinguished.
