I Rely On Poverty To Sweep Through Survival GamesCh87 - Subway Station 13 (6)

Subway Station 13 (6)

The eyes were still following closely behind them and also emitted a sort of scalp-numbing, viscous sound. While they looked to be huge in volume, their movements were unexpectedly agile. T7Ht9w

On the other hand, the dark environment greatly restricted the players’ vision; coupled with the junk on the ground which hindered their way forward quite a bit, they were slowed down significantly.

They even almost turned into a dead end once; fortunately, Luo’s warning allowed them to promptly avoid it.

The three of them nearly threw off the eyes behind them a few times, but they ultimately caught up again.

“Huu… hu… Why is it still here ah…” After running a high speed obstacle course for a long while, Diyi Fugui began panting. Although her explosive strength was very powerful in battle, her endurance wasn’t as good as Xiao Lan’s and Luo’s, and she was already feeling the strain. Ph1StH

Her legs began to feel increasingly heavy, and she also started to slow down. If this continued, it wouldn’t be long before she fell behind.

Turning her head and glancing back at the eyes that were getting closer and closer, she was almost able to see the veins in the eyeballs. They were clearly just eyes, yet Diyi Fugui could see the greed and malice in them.

Diyi Fugui was terribly disgusted. “Ah… I’m so beautiful, I can’t die!!!!”

She took a deep breath and spurred her legs on with all her might as she grit her teeth and did her best to run forward and keep up with Xiao Lan’s speed.

At that moment, a fork appeared in the road.

The left one should be the main passage and looked wider, while the right side was a little narrower.

Xiao Lan naturally also noticed Diyi Fugui’s deteriorating state, and he promptly made a decision. “Fugui, take the right road. There’ll be fewer eyes that can follow through there. When the time comes, find an opportunity to run away yourself!”

Diyi Fugui compared the difference between the two roads and instantly understood that Xiao Lan was planning to draw away most of the group. She said in a moved tone, “Wuwuwu, what Xiaohe said was right: Xiao ge really is a big good guy who’s strong, benevolent and even good-looking… Ibjmn2

“I’m genuinely crying! When I leave the game, I’ll tell Xiaohe, and we’ll spread word of this deed. We must immortalise your name, make sure your achievements earn eternal glory, and that your stench goes down in history for thousands of years… No, millions of years!!”

Black lines covered Xiao Lan’s face. “…Thanks, but there’s really no need.”

He didn’t want to become something comparable to the fossil of a dinosaur’s feces.

Fugui ah, you should still study more in the future ba. 4V2ctb

In a flash, they arrived at the fork in the road.

“Run!” Xiao Lan immediately ran into the left passage.

Most of the eye monster simultaneously entered the left side, the crowd of eyes pouring through the passage like a flood and covering everything behind them. There appeared to be much more than anticipated.

In the distance, they could still hear Diyi Fugui shouting: ZvhGgX

“Wuwuwu! Xiao ge is too worthy of being stanned. I can give Xiao ge shoutouts for an entire lifetime!!!

“I wish you guys a long and happy life together!!”

Xiao Lan: “…”

Fugui ah, this proverb ‘live a long and happy life together’ can't be used randomly. lziECA

In fact, he rather liked the statement ‘live a long and happy life together’. For the sake of this proverb, he would forgive the greenhead who kept gazing fervently at his family’s master ba.

Xiao Lan instantly felt a burst of helplessness in his heart. How in the world did Classmate Zhao Xiaohe describe him to Diyi Fugui? Why was it like a cult’s faith? ao7Ov2

The eyes behind them still pursued them closely, unwilling to let them go. There was much of the frantic gusto of a sasaeng fan seeing their idol.

The two of them picked up their pace and hastily dashed forward.

But continuing to run like this was out of the question. Xiao Lan began to search around him for things that could obstruct these eyes as he ran.

Unlike the more spacious area, there were a lot of things around them in this place. pb6CO1

Xiao Lan looked at them one by one in passing in the light of the flashlight. The trash can wouldn’t do, it was too small; the fire extinguisher wouldn’t do, it was even smaller; the chair wouldn’t do, there were too many gaps; the billboard also wouldn’t do, it was too light…

Up until a red cupboard appeared on the side of the passage. It was taller than an adult male, extremely wide, made of metal, and completely packed. The words ‘Flood Control Supplies’ were written on it.

This was an emergency equipment storage cabinet that had flood control supplies! It was even a super big one.

Xiao Lan’s eyes brightened. That one! b4j3aw

“Luo! Give me a hand.” Xiao Lan called out to Luo and swiftly ran to the cupboard.

A lot of sandbags specifically for flood control were stored inside, and with the addition of various equipment, it was naturally extremely heavy. But with their combined strength, they lifted it like it was an ordinary cardboard box and then placed it on its side in the passage.

It was a little wider than the passage and barred the entire way horizontally, leaving only a small gap at the top.

Bang bang bang— w9v FH

The monster formed from eyeballs rammed against the flood control cupboard with muffled sounds.

The flood control cupboard shuddered a couple of times but still safely blocked the path. The huge number of eyeballs simply couldn’t find any cracks to get through below. They stacked themselves up and began entering through the only gap above.

Story translated by Chrysanthemum Garden.

Since there was a flood control cupboard here, how could there not be other complements?

Xiao Lan took a dusty anti-flood damboard that Luo had found nearby and shoved it into the crack above. Although it couldn’t seamlessly block the crack, the eyes were unable to enter for the time being. 9yaqmG

The eyes continued trying to ram down the flood control cupboard with thumping sounds.

Xiao Lan and Luo directly piled all the things they could find nearby behind the cupboard, like chairs, trash cans, fire extinguishers, and billboards, propping them against the back of the flood control cupboard.

The eyes pounded against the cupboard constantly, but the junk formed an unshakeable barrier.

Only a few random eyeballs were able to bore through the crack at the top. They fell to the ground, and looked a little pathetic. ftld s

Seeing this, the two of them quickly left this passage.

After leaving the passage behind, everything returned to stillness, with only the occasional echo of dripping water in the air; it was empty and monotonous.

In the pitch dark, there was only the flashlight and their footsteps, which felt very oppressive.

This was probably a human’s instinctive fear of the dark. Even though Xiao Lan had experienced several games, lingering in this sort of environment for a long time still made him uncomfortable. wcD5tn

Compared with this sort of threat from the shadows, he still preferred grabbing a weapon and having a blood-splattering fight with a boss.

Xiao Lan couldn’t resist walking a little closer to Luo. When the sound of footsteps and clothes rustling from Luo became clearer, his heart slowly settled.

At that moment, Luo suddenly reached out and grabbed Xiao Lan’s wrist. Though it was through the glove, he could distinctly feel the finger joints. There was still no body temperature, but Xiao Lan’s anxiety was abruptly reduced by a lot.

“Sir, I’m worried I’ll get lost.” Luo’s voice rang out in the darkness, gentle and elegant as always. RWqxMb

Naturally, this was just a surface excuse.

In reality, he noticed that something wasn’t right about Xiao Lan’s current state. From information he had read, it was very easy for mental issues to appear when humans were left in a dark and enclosed environment for long periods of time.

Perhaps part of the reason was also because of Luo’s own loathing of the dark.

He had once been trapped in darkness and nothingness for a long time. That prison-like feeling led to an exceptional rejection of the dark even now. It was only when he clearly sensed Xiao Lan by his side that Luo felt that even the dark wasn’t that sickening. dDsA2j

Xiao Lan also didn’t expose this obvious excuse. In this situation, they continued forward with tacit understanding.

Not long after, a bulletin board appeared up ahead.

Xiao Lan went over to inspect it and saw a few announcement-like things pasted on it. Among them, there was even a timetable. Unexpectedly, there was a train every half an hour. If this was modern times, one train every half an hour was simply inconceivable.

When he withdrew his hand, Xiao Lan noticed that it was covered in that black dust again. It was behind the train timetable, and the other announcements didn’t have traces like these. OsIGVw

What in the world did this black dust represent? Why did it appear repeatedly?

“Sir, look here.” Luo pointed next to the bulletin board.

Xiao Lan shifted his gaze and realised that two white coin-shaped things were wedged in the crack on the side of the board. At a closer look, they were two train tickets.

After experiencing the matters related to the train tickets, Xiao Lan was now wary of them. He carefully examined their surroundings and didn’t see any signs of monsters. He then looked at the tickets. They were very clean, and didn’t have any suspicious bloodstains or dubious marks. ZFLPqc

Xiao Lan reached out and picked up the tickets. The white tickets bumped into each other in his palm and emitted a crisp sound.

After a while, nothing strange happened.

He was just about to shove the tickets into his pocket when Luo stopped him.

“Allow me to have them for safekeeping.” Luo reached out and took the two tickets from Xiao Lan’s hand, putting them in his own pocket. C6ZIbg

Of course, Xiao Lan didn’t think that Luo wanted to monopolise the tickets. Because the tickets they had seen previously all had problems, they were unable to guarantee that these two were completely safe either. The person who held the tickets would naturally face even more peril.

Was Luo… protecting him?

When he understood this situation, Xiao Lan suddenly felt a little uneasy. “You…”

“Please do not worry.” Luo’s voice was deep and his tone gentle, like whispering to a lover. There was a smile in his words. “Serving you is my honour and privilege.” K8qX6D

Sss… this statement really was too deadly.

Xiao Lan held onto his sexuality that was approaching a crisis. Seriously, Luo, can’t you speak properly?!

What tone is that?!

What scripted lines?! d31aP

He shook his head to shake out the pink bubbles inside them, then refocused on the tickets.

They had now already obtained the tickets, and it was even two at one go. According to the clues they had found, they could leave the station after getting the tickets. Leaving the station meant leaving this instance, and also meant — clearing the game.

This course of events seemed so effortless it was a little unfathomable, but Xiao Lan always had the feeling that things weren’t so simple.

If they only needed to find a ticket, why was the game’s prompt ‘Come… this side…’? And what did ‘this side’ mean? nIsKec

All of this wasn’t mentioned in any of the present clues.

It seemed that there were still things they didn’t know. These unknown clues may point towards that ‘side’.

Xiao Lan said to Luo, “Let’s go. We’ll go on the train one more time.”

“Alright, sir,” Luo said. PEi5BL

The author has something to say:

‘Guide To Raising Humans’ said that humans don’t like the dark.

Luo: Sir, I’ll contract all the lightbulbs in the world and give them to you! F6KoyU

Xiao Lan: …
