The world is broken, the cubs mend it

Everyone huddled together to keep warm, and they weren't sleepy at all after having just escaped death.

The scarred man picked up a fish bone from the ground and tried to light it, but it only produced a burst of black smoke and the smell of burning bones.

"There are solid wooden storage cabinets in the lab on the third floor. Come with me to dismantle them."

Chi Xia tapped his shoulder and walked up the stairs to the third floor.

Walking around the instrument area, there is a row of cabinets against the wall. The wood should be enough to burn for a while.

The scarred man was not in a hurry to dismantle the cabinet. He put a hand on Chi Xia's shoulder and whispered, "Boy, what level are you now?"

“I’m a high-level player.”

Chi Xia slapped his hand away inconspicuously, leaned against the cold operating table, a smile on her slightly immature face.

There are rankings in the dungeon player area, and player levels are divided by the accumulated points. He is not far from leaving this game.

“Are you a high-level player?”

The scarred man obviously didn't believe what he said, with a hint of amusement in his eyes. He was clearly still just a young boy.

"Believe it or not, if you have nothing else to do, come over and dismantle the cabinet."

Chi Xia could see that he was not a kind-hearted person, and had no intention of getting entangled with him too much.

"You came here to get the points and boss skills for the Mermaid Ending Dungeon, right?"

The scarred man remained motionless, approaching him with an ambiguous smile.

"..."

Chi Xia shrugged without comment. The other two gathered here for this very reason.

"I can help you kill the mermaid and get the points and boss skills."

"What good will this do for you? I don't believe in free lunch."

"I only want Bai Qi's flash ability, the rest is yours. As long as we work together, all this will be easy."

When the scarred man was about to kill the child, the thin man who came in with him saw Bai Qi's skills.

Players can also plunder each other, and it is difficult to compete with these people for the opportunity to kill the mermaid, so he chose to settle for the second best.

He fully expected Chi Xia to agree to cooperate with him, but he just laughed contemptuously and went on to dismantle the locker.

"What do you mean? Do you think you can defeat Li Cheng and Bai Qi alone?"

"I haven't thought about fighting with anyone. It depends on your ability. Don't have any evil thoughts."

Chi Xia has never done anything to harm his companions since entering this dungeon. He has seen too many players killing each other, and these people usually don't have a good ending.

"You are such a stubborn person!"

The scarred man felt disgusted by his false nobleness, so he stopped talking and followed him to dismantle the wooden boards and take them to the second floor to burn.

As the fire gradually warmed up, Yuanyuan's stomach began to rumble again. Not only him, but others also began to feel hungry.

There are limited things you can bring into the dungeon. Chi Xia had some compressed biscuits in his bag, and he gave each person a piece, but this was not enough to fill their stomachs.

"Food should be found in every dungeon." A quiet girl said weakly, and added, "There is some in the last dungeon."

"Your words remind me that the octopus tentacle should be edible."

Chi Xia took over the conversation and said that he had seen the things around the White Tower before, and that was the only thing that looked most like food.

Sometimes the monsters that appear in the dungeon can also be used as food to fill your stomach.

Most people looked embarrassed when they heard his words. For low-level players, eating dungeon monsters was something they couldn't even think about.

"Try it when the tentacles refresh again."

Bai Qi agreed with his idea. It was freezing cold outside and he was not sure if there were any other dangers. Octopus tentacles were a good choice.

"When can I go home?"

Yuanyuan ate the compressed biscuits in his hand and left half of the bread for his father.

"good…"

The female player next to her saw that she was leaving food for her father even though she was hungry. She was moved by her filial piety and wanted to comfort her, but she was rudely interrupted as soon as she opened her mouth to speak.

"It's freezing cold, and you can't even save your life, but you just want to go home. Are you annoying?"

Since the scarred man failed to reach a cooperation agreement, he naturally took out his anger on the weakest target.

Everyone was confused by his inexplicable anger. Only Chi Xia knew why he was angry. He frowned and fought back coldly.

"Why are you yelling at a child?"

"What's my yelling got to do with you? Once she enters here, she will never be able to go back to see her father. Am I wrong?"

The scarred man naturally would not let a young boy suppress him, so he said the cruelest truth.

Those who originally wanted to say a few words to help the child fell silent. Even if she managed to pass this copy by chance, what would she do in the next copy?

People won't always be lucky.

When Yuanyuan heard him say that she would never be able to see her father again, she pursed her lips and tears fell from her eyes. Her pitiful appearance was heartbreaking.

"What's the point of crying? That's all a little brat can do!"

The scarred man became more and more unrestrained, and his tone was even more ferocious than before.

"Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah……"

Yuanyuan burst into tears, and her sharp cry seemed to pierce one's eardrums.

"Don't go too far!"

Bai Qi picked up the child and gently wiped her tears. She had a younger sister who was only a few years older than Yuanyuan.

Her younger sister was seriously ill. When she was drawn into the game, her younger sister was still in the intensive care unit. Now she doesn’t know whether her sister has recovered.

A big part of the reason why I feel close to her is that I feel she is somewhat similar to my sister, soft and cute.

The scarred man wanted to retort but felt a sharp pain in his ears. The little brat's cry was deafening and even more deadly than the mermaid's singing.

It is a very strong physical attack.

Not only him, but everyone else felt uncomfortable in their ears, especially Bai Qi who was holding her, and had to put her on the ground.

The sea area, which was originally snowing, suddenly began to surge with huge waves that hit the tower violently. The entire white tower was shaking and was about to collapse.

"I said she should be killed. She is not a human being at all."

The scarred man raised the dagger with difficulty and tried to get closer to her. Just as he took half a step closer, his eardrums and head were torn even more violently, and the pain was so severe that he almost fainted.

This kind of cry is simply not something that a human can make.

I don't know when the sea water came in, and the entire layer has been completely submerged.

The piled-up mermaid skeletons on the ground began to jump, emitting a faint blue light, and it seemed that they were about to recombine.

"Can anyone think of a way to make her stop crying?"

Everyone turned to Bai Qi for help. So far, this monster was the closest to her.

Bai Qi tried to coax her, but even if he told her to take him to see her father right now, it was of no use; she simply wouldn't listen.

The skeleton on the ground was almost completely upright. Chi Xia took out a candy from his pocket and threw it accurately into the child's wide-open mouth.

"..."

As Yuanyuan was crying, she felt something sweet in her mouth. She pursed her lips, stopped screaming, and started chewing the candy in her mouth.

The reconstructed skeleton also collapsed with a loud bang, the sea water slowly receded and everything returned to normal.
