Infinite: Dawn Game

Chapter 670 Day and Night Alternation

Unfortunately

Even though He Lingling had chosen to hold her breath, she still couldn't prevent wool from getting into her nose and ears.

Because of the excessive wool sticking to her legs, He Lingling eventually collapsed to the ground with weak legs.

He Lingling let out a painful groan, but still managed to crawl onto the dance floor using both her hands and feet.

Just a little bit, just a little bit—

"Grab me."

Suddenly, a hurried female voice rang out in front of her. Through the thick wool, He Lingling saw Shi Yuan rushing out of the dance floor.

The girl, whose hair was cut haphazardly, looked anxious. She reached out and grabbed the girl's weak arm, pulling hard.

"I stopped you!"

Shi Yuan exclaimed in delight.

He Lingling twitched the corners of her mouth, about to respond, when suddenly she felt a chill on her neck.

"..."

A sharp pain spread from her throat, and He Lingling's eyes widened in horror as she felt the skin on her neck being slowly cut open by an invisible "knife".

"Wait--"

She only had time to say one word before Shi Yuan grabbed her arm and pulled her forcefully!

puff!

The sound of a sharp blade slicing through a throat instantly emptied He Lingling's chaotic mind.

In that instant, she felt as if she were flying.

He Lingling looked down blankly and saw Shi Yuan forcefully pull a blood-splattering corpse back a step, causing both of them to fall heavily to the ground.

"..."

Amidst the splattered blood, the increasingly strong smell of mutton, and the dense, growing wool... He Lingling's consciousness completely vanished.

------------

Day .

"Shi Jiu..."

In just one day, Xu Han, who had been busy splashing rainwater all day, seemed to have lost weight. He sat on the edge of the bed with a tired face and touched Yu Shijiu's forehead with the back of his hand.

"...It's not hot anymore."

Xu Han looked at "Fatty" beside him with some confusion, "Why won't Shi Jiu wake up? I tried to lure him with chocolate but he still won't wake up..."

Lu Chusheng: "..."

He glanced at the sticky mess of chocolate in Xu Han's hand, remained silent for a moment, then turned his head away and ignored him.

"Ugh……"

Xu Han stared blankly at the rain pouring down outside the window, his gaze seemingly melting into the dark, torrential downpour.

He murmured, "When will this rain finally stop...?"

When will they be able to beat the game...?

Lu Chusheng rested his head on Yu Shijiu's arm. He tilted his head as he listened to Xu Han's murmurs, his deep pupils slowly fixing on Xu Han.

He was now absolutely certain that Xu Han's "good luck" was real.

These past few days... aside from being a little tired from scooping water, Xu Han has been sleeping very soundly during the eerie and frightening time every night.

The fact that he was "sinking" meant that those strange creatures who did not yet have the intention to kill could not scare him.

Thinking of the other players who had been so frightened these past few nights that they couldn't sleep and were so weak that they had bloodshot eyes during the day... Lu Chusheng felt a little emotional.

...Sometimes, you have to admit that luck is also a form of ability.

"Fatty."

Xu Han felt like he was about to die from exhaustion these past two days, and muttered while rubbing his sore calves:

"Why do I feel like you're not worried about Shi Jiu at all? Does that mean you don't love him anymore?"

Lu Chusheng: "..."

He glanced at Xu Han, who was bending over and massaging his calves, with some displeasure, and let out a very low meow from deep in his throat.

Xu Han was amused and collapsed onto the bed. He no longer cared about the messy bed and even rolled around comfortably two or three times after lying down.

"Sigh, it's good that I'm not awake now, at least I don't have to do this tiring work of scooping water... Damn, I've never done so much work in real life..."

Xu Han muttered to himself, lying on the bed with a sigh. After talking to himself for a while, he turned his head to continue staring at the heavy rain outside the window.

"Hey Feifei, tell me," Xu Han asked, "when do you think this rain will stop?"

"..."

He was met with an exceptionally cold expression from "Fatty".

Xu Han wasn't angry. He looked at the rain outside the window and was filled with emotion.

"The rain is getting heavier; are we going to have to work tonight too?"

"Everyone, stand up!"

Wang Ji's loud voice rang out at the cabin door, startling Xu Han so much that he jumped up from his bed.

"Holy crap..." Xu Han lightly patted his face, saying in disbelief, "Am I really a jinx?! Everything I say comes true?!"

No way... they work during the day and at night—even oxen shouldn't be used like this! And all they get to eat every day is some awful, tattered bread to fill their stomachs...

Xu Han grew angrier the more she thought about it, and then lay back down on the bed, closing her eyes and pretending to be asleep.

Never mind, he won't die anyway, he definitely won't work like a slave during the day and continue working like a slave at night!

Who's responsible if someone dies suddenly?! What kind of good person has to keep working in a horror game?! Isn't this just a deeper level of horror—well, although this is technically a type of "horror movie" anyway.

Lu Chusheng, who watched Xu Han's self-consolation/anger throughout: "..."

He glanced quietly at Wang Ji, who was approaching from not far away, and lay motionless on Yu Shijiu's body.

"Ahem! Wake up, everyone! Everyone get up and listen carefully!"

Wang Ji cleared his throat and said loudly, "Starting tomorrow night, all of us will have to take turns going to the deck to splash the water out, understand?"

"……Ugh."

"...When will this rain ever stop...?"

"Damn it, when will this rain stop?"

"It's almost time to return, and if the rain doesn't stop, we might still be able to get back—"

"Stop talking nonsense!"

Seeing the increasingly somber atmosphere in the cabin, Wang Ji quickly interrupted all the NPCs, shouting in an unquestionable tone:

"The rain will stop! We'll definitely be able to return safely! Stop thinking about all this and all this! Think about the good things!"

What do you think?

Among the crowd, a player looked up wearily at Wang Ji's back, then, using the dim light, hid himself in a corner and said in a hoarse voice:

“We don’t eat well, we drink very little, and we have to work hard all day long, bending over constantly… Now you’re saying we have to take turns working at night too… Brother Wang, we’re human beings…”

The player immediately lowered his head after saying this, afraid that Wang Ji would notice him.

Lu Chusheng glanced at the male player who had shrunk into the corner, his gaze lingering on the other's wrinkled and blistered hands for several seconds.

Prolonged contact with water, especially if the skin remains soaked and cannot dry, will definitely damage the skin. Initially, it may only cause wrinkles, peeling, and blisters... Later, some people with weakened immune systems or poor health may experience severe skin pain as a result.
