Infinite: Dawn Game

At the hotel entrance, the three people who had pushed the door open halfway continued to push it open with difficulty—well, Yu Shijiu didn't push it.

It wasn't that he didn't want to push; it was that the time for using his innate skill had just expired.

Yu Shijiu's strength suddenly gave way, and he almost fell to the ground by holding onto the door.

Chen Yi and the others didn't let him push it, saying they could do it.

Yu Shijiu hesitated about this.

It's really hard to tell what's going on with Chen Yi and the other two... Apart from Xu Han, who can be considered a young and strong man, Chen Yi's face was still very pale because of the "meat wall," and He Lingling was even worse off. Yu Shijiu had just noticed that she had almost fallen over from using too much force.

Yu Shijiu felt that she could help in a tiny way, and that she could just endure it like before.

But for some reason, he didn't reach out as he watched the three people pushing the door open.

Actually... my body is in a lot of pain.

Yu Shijiu's hand holding the axe twitched slightly, a side effect of using muscle strength.

He was in a lot of pain.

My arms and legs hurt, my breathing hurts... even my rapidly beating heart aches... and there's a soreness that's hard to describe.

Yu Shijiu endured the pain, raised her hand to touch her chest, and pursed her lips slightly.

Why did he feel this way? He didn't understand.

Fatty, who was next to him, seemed to sense his complicated thoughts and looked up to lick the back of Yu Shijiu's hand.

Yu Shijiu lowered his head and met a pair of eyes that glowed with a faint green light in the darkness.

Fatty licked the back of his hand again and rubbed his head against it.

Yu Shijiu felt a warm glow in his heart as the object of his touch rubbed against him, and his furrowed brows relaxed.

"Fatty".

Yu Shijiu said with a grin, "Your head is so sticky."

The chubby girl, who was being affectionate, thought: "..."

It indifferently retracted its sticky head.

Yu Shijiu smiled even more happily.

"It's open, it's open!"

The three of them, panting, turned around after forcefully pushing the hotel door open completely. Xu Han's voice was the loudest.

"Hurry, hurry! Shi Jiu, come here quickly! We need to get out of here right away!"

Yu Shi looked up and said "Oh".

Behind the fully opened door was still a murky, indistinct darkness, looking no different from the corridor behind it, where the sounds of trampling and wailing echoed—if there was any difference, it was that it was very quiet.

A quietness that is visible to the naked eye.

As Yu Shijiu walked out of the Fuling Hotel, he looked back one last time.

In the darkness behind, one could vaguely see densely packed figures, wails and cries of pain... and the cries for help from humans (monsters) who were squeezed to the point of being unable to breathe, all intertwined, sending chills down one's spine.

Yu Shijiu's arm was grabbed.

Chen Yi's somewhat weak voice rang in his ears, "Let's go."

Yu Shijiu blinked in the darkness, his eyes crinkling with laughter, and nodded.

"Well, let's go."

The four of them helped each other out of the Fuling Hotel and stepped into the deep, silent darkness before them.

Xu Han didn't notice that the white Samoyed that had been following him stopped by the door the moment he walked out of the Fuling Hotel, watching their departing figures, and let out a short "woof woof woof" from its throat.

Also left behind were the kittens that Chen Yi should have hidden in his coat pocket.

The black and white cats squatted on the ground, raised their paws to rub their faces, and turned their heads to look at the white Samoyed that had also been left behind.

The white Samoyed looked at them and barked several more times.

corridor.

Shih Yuan and Wu Jie were squeezed almost against the wall, struggling to breathe, and they also had to keep an eye on their "pets" to make sure they weren't crushed.

"Why are there so many people?"

Wu Jie's entire face was squeezed and distorted; he spoke to Shi Yuan with his eyes and mouth crooked.

"I'm almost...no, I can't take it anymore, I can't even breathe..."

"Shut up."

Shi Yuan seemed to be in good condition, probably because she tried to walk close to the gaps in the wall.

She stared intently at the darkness in the distance, inching forward little by little, relying on her memory.

He was surrounded by things that he couldn't tell if they were human or monsters. The wailing and cries for help from men and women mingled together, turning into a sharp noise that made Shi Yuan's eyes red.

She can't die.

It's already the end; she absolutely cannot die.

If she dies now... what face does she have to blame Wang Xiaoling?

"right……"

Shi Yuan continued to push forward, the ground beneath her feet becoming increasingly sticky, each step seeming to tread on human flesh and corpses crushed and mangled.

She endured her nausea and fear and continued walking forward.

Behind him, Wu Jie's face flushed red. He breathed heavily, relying on his large size to forcefully push against the people or monsters around him, completely disregarding whether he would bump into other players.

He's about to die himself, why should he care about other people?

But Shi Yuan...

Wu Jie stared at the petite figure that was faintly visible in the darkness ahead, his expression somewhat complicated.

He never expected Shi Yuan to go so far.

Based on Shi Yuan's past relationship with Wang Xiaoling... Wu Jie found it hard to connect the person in front of him with the Shi Yuan of the past, whose hair had been cut in such a messy way.

He used to look down on Shi Yuan.

Like most ordinary women, Shi Yuan loves beauty and being pretty. She can be a little temperamental and gets angry easily. Oh, and Shi Yuan also cherishes her long hair. Every time she comes out of a game instance, she cries while holding her frizzy hair... Wu Jie hates this kind of personality.

In his view, such a personality could be considered normal in reality, but in the Dawn game where death could come at any moment, Shi Yuan would just be cannon fodder.

The kind of cannon fodder who die a very tragic death.

Wang Xiaoling is different.

Wang Xiaoling is calm, gentle, and patient... She is a person with a completely different personality from Shi Yuan.

But ironically, these two personalities, which should be at odds, have become the best "friends" in the game Dawn.

They are friends who can talk about anything, and they will never give up on each other.

Wu Jie initially scoffed at their relationship; if he and Wang Xiaoling hadn't been from the same village, he would never have known them.

But after watching for a while, Wu Jie had to admit that he was a little envious.

It's just a little bit, just a tiny bit.

not much.

After all, if he were to find a "friend" like Shi Yuan, he would rather go it alone.

On one occasion, Wu Jie seized an opportunity to ask Wang Xiaoling, who was alone, about something.

It seems that Wang Xiaoling was out buying groceries when he happened to run into her.

Wu Jie asked the question that had been bothering him for a long time.

He frowned and asked Wang Xiaoling, his expression perhaps still carrying a hint of disdain and incomprehension:

"How could you choose a teammate like Shi Yuan? She's utterly useless—"

He was interrupted by Wang Xiaoling before he could finish speaking.
