Chapter 13 A jinx? A sandstorm that devours everything!
"But you'll have to give me the upgrade core first!"
Lin Xuan readily agreed, but his expression gradually became serious.
Even with his "infinite upgrade system," he still doesn't have many upgrade cores left.
I never expected that these two women could easily produce ten.
It seems the other side has more resources than I thought.
"you……"
Su Ran's lips twitched slightly.
She glanced down at the young man below, her teeth grinding together.
However, they had no other choice; they couldn't very well spend the night in the tree.
"Sure, but I'll put those ten upgrade cores on my sister. You can get them when she goes down!"
As they spoke, Su Ran handed the bag containing ten upgrade cores to her younger sister beside her.
"Sister, I..."
Su Nian took the bag, her eyes slightly red.
"This woman is quite clever!"
Lin Xiaoxiao leaned against the car window, her legs curled up on the seat in white stockings. "That way, no matter what, her sister can jump out safely first!"
Lin Xuan didn't reply, but looked up at the tree.
"Sister, I'll go downstairs now!"
Su Nian took a deep breath and stuffed the bag of upgrade cores into her pocket.
She then opened the car door, and her legs, encased in white stockings, stretched out from outside.
"Jump now!"
Lin Xuan glanced around, then focused his gaze back upwards, urging, "I'll catch you!"
Su Nian closed her eyes, released her grip, and then jumped down.
Seeing this, Lin Xuan immediately reached out and caught her.
Su Nian clung to him, her arms wrapped tightly around his neck, her white-stockinged legs clamped around his waist, refusing to let go.
"Hey, hey, hey, haven't you hugged enough?!"
Seeing their intimate actions, Lin Xiaoxiao's eyes widened, and she pounded on the car door, saying...
"I'm...I'm sorry!"
Upon hearing these words, Su Nian abruptly withdrew her hand from Lin Xuan's neck.
She jumped off him quickly, lowered her head, and whispered, "I'm...I'm sorry..."
"fine!"
Lin Xuan shrugged, then held out his hand. "Where's the stuff?"
Su Nian then remembered, hurriedly pulled the bag of upgrade cores from her pocket, and handed it over.
After her fingertips touched Lin Xuan's palm, they withdrew as if she had been electrocuted.
Lin Xuan put the bag into his pocket, then looked up at Su Ran in the tree.
"Your turn next."
Su Ran leaned out of the passenger seat, her high ponytail blowing to one side in the wind.
She took a deep breath, then jumped down decisively.
The instant Su Ran landed, Lin Xuan immediately reached out, one hand supporting her knees, the other naturally supporting her back.
However, Su Ran fell at a slightly different angle than he had expected, and his palm slid upwards a bit.
In an instant, my palm covered the curve of the shirt covered by the cartoon short-sleeved shirt.
In that instant, the two of them froze.
Su Ran suddenly opened her eyes, and a light pink blush immediately rose on her originally fair cheeks.
Lin Xuan immediately moved his right hand away and slid it to her waist.
"Ahem, hold on tight!"
He coughed lightly twice, gently placed Su Ran on the ground, and then immediately took a step back.
"Thanks!"
Su Ran patted the dust off her skirt, her face still flushed with those two delicate blushes.
She would look up every now and then, her gaze quickly shifting away whenever it met Lin Xuan's eyes.
"Next..."
Lin Xuan stopped looking at the two women beside him and instead focused his gaze on the bread cart perched on the tree.
A car got stuck in a tree...
Normally, a tow truck could be used to help, but here, there isn't even a decent rope, let alone a tow truck!
"Um, do you have a way to get the car down for us?"
Su Nian smoothed her disheveled hair and spoke weakly.
"Maybe..."
Lin Xuan took a deep breath, but before he could finish speaking, two nearby bread trucks emitted urgent warning sounds almost simultaneously!
[Warning! Warning! Night is approaching. Players outside the vehicle, please return inside as soon as possible.]
[Warning! Warning! Night is approaching. Players outside the vehicle, please return inside as soon as possible.]
[Warning! Warning! Night is approaching. Players outside the vehicle, please return inside as soon as possible.]
Night has fallen!
Lin Xuan's heart skipped a beat, and he immediately looked at the two women beside him.
"Get in the car first!"
"But our car..."
Su Nian's body visibly trembled, and she glanced reluctantly at the vehicles above.
Before she could finish speaking, Su Ran immediately reached out and pulled her into the car.
Seeing that everyone else had already gotten into the car, Lin Xuan quickly got in as well.
He glanced at the time on the pale blue screen on the control panel.
The red time display above is constantly flashing.
2:15
2:14
"The notification started after three minutes?"
Lin Xuan withdrew his gaze, his brows furrowing slightly.
When night fell last night, the time still started to announce itself five minutes in advance.
But today it was shortened to the last three minutes.
It seems that this game not only requires each player to explore and survive, but the difficulty will likely increase over time.
"Your vehicle has been upgraded after all; ordinary low-level mutated creatures can't do anything to it!"
Lin Xuan glanced at Su Nian sitting in the back row and reminded her,
"But...the car's up in the tree, is it really okay? Could...some other accidents happen...?"
Su Nian curled up into a ball and said weakly,
Before she could finish speaking, the central control screen flashed again.
[WARNING! WARNING! Extreme weather detected!]
[Weather Type: Sandstorm]
[Duration: 15 minutes!]
[Tip: Sandstorms can devour everything; only by staying away from sandstorms can you survive!]
"this……"
Lin Xuan's lips twitched slightly as he glanced at Su Nian behind him.
This guy is such a jinx!
What you say, you get!
He glanced at the rearview mirror; a dark yellow wall was visibly advancing towards them from behind.
"Hold on tight!"
Lin Xuan took a deep breath, gripped the steering wheel tightly, and stepped on the gas.
The bread cart shot off like a fully drawn bow.
Fortunately, his bread truck had been upgraded, and its speed was now significantly improved.
In just half a minute, the car had reached 100 miles per hour, but this speed only barely allowed it to maintain a distance of about 100 meters from the massive yellow wall behind it that was swallowing everything.
At the same time, Su Nian and Su Ran gasped in shock as they watched the bread cart hanging in the tree be swallowed up the instant it came into contact with the sandstorm.
Fortunately, they met this man today, otherwise they would probably have become part of the sandstorm by now!
"that……"
A few minutes later, Su Nian looked at the sandstorm still relentlessly pursuing them and asked weakly, "Will this sandstorm sweep us away too?"
This time, the three spoke almost simultaneously.
"Shut up!"
