Tang Mianmian, “…then what?”
Xiao Tangqiu, “Then, there is no then.”
Everyone fell into silence at the same time. A few seconds later, Xue Junli said, “Although I don’t know what this information is useful for, let’s keep it in mind.”
Xiao Tangqiu scratched his face. He had a feeling that things were not as simple as he just said, but he couldn’t tell why.
“Okay, let’s head out along the tunnel for now.”
Xue Junli made a decision.
At that moment, the nitpicker suddenly wondered, “What if we don’t go out? What will happen if we stay in this tunnel? What do you think of us staying in the tunnel?”
Xue Junli said lightly, “Nothing.”
The man snorted, “Do you think the decisions you make must be right? You killed zombies all night yesterday, but didn’t we do nothing and still survive? You really don’t understand how to be adaptable! Stubborn! ”
Xiao Tangqiu knew at first glance that this guy must be an arrogant fight picker, always needing to fight against others. He liked to say the opposite of others to show off his specialness. Of course, he obviously did not realize that he was picking pointless fights, and even felt smug and complacent that he was definitely special.
He shook his head and sighed. This was the hardest group of newbies he had ever led.
After the nitpicker spoke, the other newbies were also eager to stay. After all, they had just tasted sweetness. Xiao Tangqiu and others had killed zombies all night to earn a chance to live, but they did nothing and survived. They couldn’t help but feel lucky. No one knew what would happen after leaving the tunnel. If they chose to stay this time, maybe they could escape the danger again.
“I don’t want to go out! Who knows what kind of monster zombies are out there! It’s better to stay!”
“I also want to stay …”
“Then I also…”
Xue Junli looked at the newbies coldly and said nothing, apparently not planning to say anything.
Xiao Tangqiu frowned slightly. Naturally, he could guess what kind of luck these people hoped for. It was nothing more than lying down and winning without doing anything… But how could there be such a good thing in the instance worlds?
“You guys, let’s go.” Xue Junli turned and spoke to the Reincarnation Team’s people.
Duan Hongzhen yawned, “Let’s go, let’s see if we can find a place to sleep after leaving this damned place. I’m so sleepy.”

The newbie suddenly froze. Right, how could there be anything like a hotel in this damned place? At most, there was only a broken wooden bed in a broken wooden hut in the countryside. And if they went with the veterans, they weren’t qualified to sleep on the wooden bed and could only use the floor… If only the floor was available, wasn’t it the same as here? They could even take up a little more space on the tunnel floor!
“Actually, I’ll stay!”
The nitpicker smirked, that’s more like it!
Duan Hongzhen rolled his eyes, turned around and followed Xue Junli and others. Xiao Tangqiu and Tang Mianmian looked at each other and pulled Shen Yuan away too.
The newbies and the veterans completely split into two camps and started to act independently.
Before leaving, Xiao Tangqiu glanced at the group of newbies left in the tunnel and saw that they really started to ready the floor, looking to be going to sleep on the floor… he didn’t know whether he should admire them for being big-hearted, actually daring to fall asleep in this dangerous instance environment.
Soon, they no longer saw the newbies. For Xue Junli and others, this incident obviously made no difference.
“I want to find a place to sleep soon…” Duan Hongzhen yawned again.
Xue Junli sneered, “Even if you find a place to sleep, can you sleep?”
Duan Hongzhen raised an eyebrow, “There’s you, why wouldn’t I?”
Just then, Xiao Tangqiu couldn’t help asking, “If we see the black subway again… should we get on?”
They met the black subway in this tunnel yesterday. After the black subway was boarded, that following series of events happened… and Xiao Tangqiu had already boarded the black subway as early as the first day of the instance. Now, he was full of trauma about the black subway. If he could, he really didn’t want to get on that black subway anymore.
But obviously, that was impossible.
Xue Junli said lightly, “Of course we have to get on, it should be an important clue to the plot.”
Tang Mianmian suddenly said, “But we have walked for so long and without seeing railroad tracks …”
They had been walking in the tunnel for some time, but it was still only a dark tunnel around them and they didn’t see the railroad track from yesterday.
“Yesterday, the black subway appeared out of thin air,” Xiao Tangqiu thought for a while, “Maybe it will suddenly appear …”
Tang Mianmian replied without thought, “A cafe on the corner?”
A cold wind blew by.
Shen Yuan, who had been silent, snorted, “How can there be a coffee shop here?”
Xiao Tangqiu laughed dryly, “We’re talking about a song.”
Shen Yuan humphed, “Don’t say anything I don’t understand!”
Xiao Tangqiu was about to laugh, but then suddenly realized, wait a minute! There was cold wind just now?
A wind was blowing in! What did this mean?
Sure enough, the next second, Duan Hongzhen cried out in surprise, “…There is light! It seems that the exit is ahead!”
The group sped up and ran over to see if it really was the tunnel exit. Maybe they could leave the tunnel soon.
“Strange, why didn’t we see the tracks and the black subway?” Xiao Tangqiu asked dumbly.
The others were also uncertain of the situation, and at this moment, Tang Mianmian who ran out of the tunnel first yelled, “Fuckfuck! It’s the hills ahead! The hills are so familiar! We seem to be back in that small village again! ”
Xiao Tangqiu quickly ran out of the tunnel and looked up. There really were hills one after another. These hills with barren vegetation were exactly what they saw when they first arrived in this instance.
They continued to move forward and it became more and more familiar as they walked. Suddenly, Shen Yuan stepped back and said coldly, “There’s someone ahead.”
As soon as Shen Yuan had spoken, everyone was alert. Who would appear in such a damned place?
Xiao Tangqiu and Tang Mianmian held their breath at the same time and stared. They immediately looked in the direction that Shen Yuan was looking at, then they startled at the same time. There was a strangely shaped person ahead… Wait! Not one person! But two people!
Since it is one person carrying another person, at first glance, that person looked very strange.
On a closer look, it turned out that it was a man who was struggling hard and carrying an old woman with a humpback on his back. When Xiao Tangqiu looked at it from afar earlier, he thought it was a spiritual tortoise carrying its heavy shell… He couldn’t help awkwardly scratching his face. Fortunately he didn’t shout out of impulse just now!
Everyone else saw this weird scene and couldn’t help but look at each other. They just came out of that weird tunnel, and they saw this scene… To call it strange, it’s not strange, but to call it normal, it wasn’t normal either. Would normal people come to such strange places with people on their backs?
Tang Mianmian suddenly cried out, “Wait a minute! The man seems a little familiar… Wait! The old lady also seems a little familiar!”
Xiao Tangqiu took a closer look and they did! The old lady was the grandma they met on the hills when they came to this instance on the first day, and the man was also the unlucky man who had been chopped into unconsciousness that day. They were all acquaintances!
“Strange, where is the man going to take that old woman?” Tang Mianmian frowned. “Wait, isn’t that old woman his mother? Where is he going to carry his mother?”
An answer suddenly appeared in Xiao Tangqiu’s mind, but he hesitated. Instead of telling the conjecture in his heart, he turned his head and asked Xue Junli, “Should we follow them?”
Xue Junli nodded, “Follow and take a look, these two may be important plot characters.”
Regardless of whether they were important plot characters or not, those two were the only two people they could communicate with so far, so they had to follow.
The Reincarnation Team looked at each other, nodded, and quietly followed.
Xiao Tangqiu and Tang Mianmian also followed carefully, they were the only people in this team who needed to worry about their stealth abilities. Fortunately, the wind here was constantly blowing, sometimes calm and sometimes violent, more than enough to cover their movements.
The man carrying the old lady with the humpback was struggling to move forward, and the old lady stayed silent on his back the entire way. Although Xiao Tangqiu could not see the expressions of the two people, he could guess that their expressions should not be very good.
The two remained silent until they reached the bottom of a hill.
Xiao Tangqiu suddenly whispered, “This is the hill where we met the grandma that day…” They met the old lady on that hill and rescued the old lady from under the wolf’s jaws. Instead of getting the old lady’s gratitude, she cursed them.
“I remember it too. It’s that hill!” Tang Mianmian echoed.
The man carrying the humpbacked old lady came to the foot of the hill and suddenly stopped.
Xiao Tangqiu was taken aback, were they discovered?
Fortunately, it was just a false alarm. The next moment, the man suddenly put the old lady on his back down.
After the old lady landed, the man knelt down in front of the old woman and burst into tears.
Here’s the song that TMM was quoting lyrics from:

Hmm… I wonder if there is a loop going on, and the same night is repeating. Time loops can be annoying. I wonder if the priestess also has awareness of the time loop.
Thanks for the chapter!
The subway goes in a loop but the village has a new night? What are the connection between the subway and the village?
Definitely a loop !
Shen Yuan wants XTQ’s candy 😊
