The world is broken, the cubs mend it

The ghost in the sea sank back to the bottom of the sea. The players climbed ashore with great effort and collapsed on the rocks in a mess.

The heavy snow had stopped long ago, icebergs were floating on the black sea, and the air was no longer as freezing as before.

The cry of the little boss can overturn the entire sea area, and players cannot kill Vitalia under her nose.

"What should we do now?"

The scarred man covered the large burn on his arm and looked at Vitalia lying on the reef, with undisguised greed in his eyes.

"You can only wait for seven days to pass, and then the instance will automatically end."

Chi Xia was so exhausted that he lay on the reef and looked at the dark sky. The ice was broken and they couldn't go back now. They could only move around on the rocky beach.

This is the first time I’ve been so close to the BOSS.

And Vitalia was just as he expected, a real creature with flesh and blood and thoughts.

So how many real lives are there in this game?

"..."

The scarred man snorted coldly and fell silent in an instant.

There were three corpses floating on the sea. Yuanyuan jumped into the sea and fished them all back, placing them neatly next to his father.

Then he sat with his back to the body where the body could not be seen.

Those people had already been burned beyond recognition by the ghost, and their bodies were covered with blisters, looking particularly terrifying.

Yuanyuan almost vomited when she was fishing, but her father was injured and couldn't move, so she had to find something to eat for him.

"Are you afraid of those corpses?"

Bai Qi had been observing her and saw her embarrassing appearance of retching with her mouth open.

"I'm not afraid!"

Yuanyuan sat on the ground with her hands in her pockets, and refuted her words stubbornly.

"..."

There was no way to hide any information on the child's face. Bai Qi saw through it clearly and did not continue speaking.

"How did you get in?"

Bai Qi turned his gaze to Li Cheng. He seemed to care about nothing. He just followed the crowd from beginning to end and did not show a clear stance.

"That day I was fighting in an underground boxing ring. My opponent was very strong and was the coach of the boxing gym. He knocked me unconscious and when I woke up I came here."

Li Cheng simply treated the wound on his body, raised his index and middle fingers, paused in the air for a few seconds, and then put them down.

"Anything bothering you?"

This posture of his is only seen by people who smoke all year round. Looking at his weathered eyes, he is probably a man with a story.

"Uncle, can you still fight black boxing at your age?"

Chi Xia's mood was not affected by the current situation. She smiled and teased him.

After entering the game, everyone's life seems to have been paused, and they will neither age nor continue to grow.

Judging from the uncle's appearance, he is probably over 40 years old.

"I'm not that old. I was 35 when I was pulled in. I used to be a boxer, but something happened at home and I aged a lot overnight."

Li Cheng has a childhood sweetheart who is already in the late stage of cancer. He has emptied out his family savings to pay for his wife's medical treatment.

But in the end, he failed to save his lover's life, leaving only a son who was still in elementary school.

His family was heavily in debt and in order to pay off the loan as soon as possible, he started fighting underground boxing to make money, paying off the debt while supporting his son's schooling.

Now he was trapped here, and he didn't know how his young children would survive.

He formed a team to enter the "Endangered Mermaid" copy in order to kill Vitalia and obtain his special skills and high points.

He watched the little boss leave again and again without saying anything, because as a father, he couldn't bear to do anything to such a child.

It’s just that he wasn’t very good at talking about his feelings with others, so he just smiled kindly at everyone.

Chi Xia was young but very perceptive. Since the uncle didn't want to continue talking, he didn't ask any more questions.

"I just started college. I was playing games at night and my vision went dark, and I ended up here. I don't know if he won the game after I disappeared."

He had finally completed the three-year battle of the college entrance examination and when he entered university with some relative freedom, he came to this fatal place.

"You are still a child..."

Li Cheng looked at him with a relaxed brow and smiled bitterly. Only a young man like him could say such words.

My life is almost in danger, who cares whether I win the game or not.

Vitalia didn't want to listen to their conversation, her eyes were all on the child.

Crowded on the rocky beach with these invaders, he also felt dangerous and repelled.

Not long after, Yuanyuan became hungry again. She found the tentacle hidden behind the reef, put it in her mouth, took a bite, and then spit it out.

“It’s not tasty raw…”

"Aren't you the boss? How come you can't even eat raw food?"

Chi Xia looked at her holding the tentacle and chewing it raw, and thought it was a bit cute and a bit funny.

"I can eat it, but it's not tasty."

Yuanyuan thinks that raw tentacles taste fishy and are not as delicious as hot ones, which are fragrant and chewy.

"Do you have any way to get us out of here? We can have hot food when we return to the White Tower."

Chi Xia looked at the endless sea. After what had just happened, they were badly injured and had no strength to swim back.

"I can swim you back."

Yuanyuan clearly remembers the way back to the White Pagoda and can serve as their tour guide.

"..." Chi Xia was silent for a moment, then looked at the mermaid specimen in front of him and suddenly had an idea: "Can't you control them? Let's see if you can get them to send us back."

This method is really feasible. Yuanyuan tried to shout, and all the dark mermaids came over. They floated on the sea and carried them back to the White Tower.

The players climbed onto the mermaid's back one by one, only the man with the scar stood on the reef unmoved.

"Come here, what are you hesitating about?"

Bai Qi frowned and looked at him, having a bad feeling.

Sure enough, the scarred man picked up the ice spike that he had pulled out of Vitalia's body, raised it high and stabbed it towards his head with precision.

"father!"

Yuanyuan quickly climbed out of the sea and rushed towards him barefoot, with scarlet eyes.

Fortunately, Vitalia didn't trust humans at all and kept a vigilant eye on them.

Before the ice spike fell, he used all his strength to flip his body and barely avoided the attack of the scarred man.

"His grandfather's..."

The scarred man cursed angrily, and when he saw the little boss flying towards him, his heart tightened and he turned around and tried to run away.

click-

There was the sound of breaking bones, and great pain spread throughout the body. Yuanyuan bit off the scarred man's spine with one bite.

His body fell to the ground like a puddle of mud. The little monster on his back bit him madly, and soon he completely lost consciousness.

When Bai Qi rushed over and picked up the child from the corpse, the little guy still had red eyes and sharp teeth, trying to bite her neck.

"What should I do? She seems to be crazy..."

The little guy struggled with such force that her arms became numb. She could only put him on the ground and hide farther away.
