I'll also work hard to conquer the dungeon today.

Chapter 614, pages 2.3-3: Guess Who I Am

The loud roar of a helicopter came from overhead. When everyone looked up, they saw supply crates slowly descending with parachutes attached, while in the distance, a terrifying sandstorm was sweeping towards them.

"Danger and opportunity coexist." Dao Lin sighed softly, glanced at Ming Xi with his icy blue eyes, and then turned and left without hesitation.

Some people chose to follow Dao Lin, while others, seeing that Ming Jin, Ming Xi, and Mu Ye Gui showed no intention of leaving, stopped and chose to stay. Still others ignored everything and kept their eyes on the supplies, even as danger was imminent.

"Aren't you leaving?" Mingxi raised an eyebrow and asked the few people who remained.

“You didn’t leave either, did you?” one of them retorted.

"Because I'm in charge of manpower to carry the supplies back. Otherwise, how would you carry them? Could you even carry them?" Mingxi said sarcastically, her lake-blue eyes filled with disdain.

Yixia, standing in the crowd, paused slightly, realizing she had made the wrong choice. She had overheard Daolin's words and wanted to try her luck—what if she survived and could get supplies? Who would have thought Daolin had specifically considered this, even arranging for people to take the supplies back?

It's too late to turn back now. The others have already disappeared. Running alone in this boundless Gobi Desert will only lead to losing yourself. It's better to stay and follow them. What if things take a turn for the better?
"You!" The others were so angry at Mingxi's words that their faces turned red. They retorted, "You're just a little kid. What can you do?"

"Of course it's because I can outrun a sandstorm, while you would die if you encountered one," Mingxi said with a sneer.

"Say less, we're almost there." Mingjin took two steps forward, interrupting the argument. "Ghost is hiding in the sandstorm, keep an eye on your safety. I'll throw the things to you as soon as possible."

Mu Yegui walked barefoot in the sand, her long black dress swaying gently in the wind. The sandstorm was getting closer and closer, and the wind was getting stronger, making her clothes rustle as they rubbed together.

She placed her hands behind her back, her right hand on the hilt of the short sword at her waist, as if she could draw the sword at any moment.

"Good luck to you lot, I don't have time for you." Mingxi stretched and took a few steps back, slightly raising her lake-blue eyes, a sharp glint in them.

The supplies slowly landed, and in that instant, Ming Jin rushed over, flipped over a round watch face, and threw it to Mu Yegui without hesitation. Mu Yegui caught the watch face and then rushed into the sandstorm.

Mingxi carried the three-meter-tall supply box and ran, completely ignoring the others following behind.

This was in the sand, where the amount of exercise was three times the normal amount, and there was even a sandstorm following behind. The twins were responsible for bringing the supply boxes back, which meant they couldn't take care of the other players who stayed behind, and they couldn't help them either. After all, they had to bear the consequences of their own wrong choices.

Although Isha wanted to catch up, the sand slowed her down, and she could only watch helplessly as the twins ran further and further away, eventually being swallowed up by the sandstorm along with the other players who stayed behind.

the other side.

The others stopped to rest after arriving at a place resembling ruins and finding no trace of ghosts.

Dao Lin sat on a rock, deep in thought, while Shui Qi was responsible for calming down the other players.

Bertias was completely covered by a gray cloak, so his expression could not be seen clearly. Lan Xiao followed silently behind him, unable to shake him off no matter what she did.

Fei remained silent, standing beside Dao Lin, only occasionally glancing up with his iris-purple eyes at the noisy group of ordinary players. "Vice President, let's take advantage of everyone's time to do some information gathering," Chloe said, stepping forward and smiling at Shui Qimei with her bright red lips.

"How is it?" Shui Qi glanced at Chloe, then turned to look at Dao Lin and Ling Tong and asked.

“Okay, you and Bell can go ahead, we’re listening.” Daolin nodded, but made no move to approach the ordinary players.

Bertias chuckled and teased, "Of course I'll protect you, Your Highness."

Dao Lin: "..." Can this joke ever be put off?
Ling Tong watched quietly through the mask as Bertias and Shui Qi questioned each player, memorizing each person's information in detail.

Standing in front of Shui Qi was a girl who looked very quiet. Her pretty face showed a hint of fear of strangers. She clasped her hands tightly together and whispered, "I...I am Yu Yin."

His long, narrow blue eyes were fixed on the girl in front of him, a scrutinizing glint in them. Suddenly, a slight smile appeared on his lips, his handsome face beaming. He extended a hand to Yu Yin, reassuringly saying, "Don't be nervous, I'm just asking a few simple questions."

Yu Yin hesitated for a moment, then reached out and carefully grasped his hand. Just as she was about to pull it back, he grabbed her hand tightly, his thumb pressing down on her wrist.

She lowered her head and said fearfully, "What do you want to ask?"

"You seem very scared?" His long, narrow blue eyes gazed silently at Yu Yin, then he chuckled and asked, "Are you afraid of me?"

Yu Yin lowered her eyes and stared at her wrist, remaining silent.

"I see... It seems you know me, and even know what kind of person I am. Then I don't need to pretend with you anymore." Shui Qi's deep voice, slightly enlightened, came from above.

Before Yu Yin could say anything, she felt her chin being clamped down, and with a strong force, she was forced to lift her eyes and stare directly into those long, narrow blue eyes.

Yu Yin's pupils contracted sharply as she looked into the reflection of that handsome face with a faint smile that seemed unusually cold. She moved her pink lips, but ultimately chose not to resist.

“I remember now, you’re Fernana’s friend, right? I think I’ve heard your name before; you’re her best friend.” Shui Qi’s thin lips curled slightly, emphasizing the words ‘best friend,’ her tone carrying a hint of intrigue.

Yu Yin looked at Shui Qi with a look of horror, her pink lips tightly closed, refusing to speak.

"It seems the two of you have separated. She went to investigate her boyfriend, while you were suddenly pulled into the instance because you received an invitation. You and she should have been in the same place before you came in," Shui Qi said with a light laugh, her narrow blue eyes fixed on Yu Yin.

She managed to ask with difficulty, "How did you know?"

"It's a secret." Shui Qi chuckled, then released her hand and took a step back to create distance between them.

"Thank you, I had a very pleasant chat~" He glanced thoughtfully at Yu Yin with his long, narrow blue eyes, chuckled softly, and then turned his gaze to the people behind him.
