Surviving in a Collapsed World, Is Something Wrong?

Chapter 142 Thank you for letting me find you

In a dark room.

"Human... Human, it's so quiet here... Is it really okay...?"

"It's okay, Yuexia, it will be fine soon."

There was a trembling moan under the moon, and one could clearly hear her inner fear and anxiety. At the same time, there was a sudden and orderly sound of collision in her ears.

Jiang Ming comforted her softly and performed the movements with his hands.

"Human...really...are you still not well? I'm so scared under the moon..."

"Just a little while longer, just a little while longer, Yuexia, just bear with it a little longer. If you give up now, all your efforts will be wasted!"

Jiang Ming's tone became a little anxious, his brows unconsciously wrinkled slightly, but his hands did not stop moving.

The collision sound behind me also became a little impatient...

"Woo..."

Under the moonlight, her eyebrows were slightly bent, she bit her teeth lightly, her beautiful eyes were tightly closed, she looked like she was enduring something and didn't dare to make a sound.

Just like that, a while passed.

"Still... not well yet, human...?"

"It will be ready soon... Take it out!!"

Jiang Ming suddenly took out the key from the box, pretended to escape, and turned back to say to Yuexia.

"Under the moon! Let's go!"

"Oh!!"

Upon hearing this, Yuexia hurriedly followed Jiang Ming and ran towards a place where there was still a glimmer of light. They could still hear blood-curdling screams and wails.

When they ran to the end, there was another door in front of them. When Jiang Ming put something similar to an access card in the designated location, the door opened instantly. Jiang Ming quickly grabbed Yuexia's hand and took her out.

“Haha ...

"Finally it came out——"

After taking a last look at the dim secret room behind them, Jiang Ming and Yuexia sat down on the ground leaning against each other as if exhausted, gasping for breath and talking about the difficulties they had experienced during this period.

The staff on the side looked at them with incredible carelessness.

That’s right, after eating shaved ice, Yuexia accidentally saw this escape room. Adhering to the principle that children are curious about everything, Jiang Ming brought her here.

Although the staff here originally wanted to persuade Yuexia due to her young appearance, after Jiang Ming showed him the proof that he was a student of St. Freya's Academy, although they were very surprised when St. Freya's Academy recruited male students, it was impossible to fake it, so they still agreed.

The result was that the game, which was originally supposed to take about an hour and a half, was completed in 50 minutes under Jiang Ming's leadership.

However, even so, it still left a great shock in Yuexia's heart.

The greater fun and challenge, the exciting situational experience, the rich plot, the just-right eerie music and the terrifying howling of the NPCs all add a tense atmosphere to this escape room.

As for...

"No, no, no, no matter what, there's no way we can just cut the time in half, right? This has already broken the fastest record!"

"I know you're surprised, but we're not blind, are we?"

"Is this the student from St. Freya Academy?"

"Don't worry about what kind of student he is. Why couldn't the door be opened when we NPCs went to arrest him? Wasn't he solving a puzzle?!"

"From the surveillance video...it seems that the little girl has been blocking the way..."

“Hah——?! You mean this little girl who’s less than 150cm tall? None of us three pushed her——!!!”

The staff's doubts about life and so on are a thing of the past.

.............

"How do you feel, Moonlight?"

Jiang Ming handed Yuexia an opened bottle of vegetable juice and asked with a smile. Yuexia took it with both hands and took a big sip to calm herself down, then nodded with a satisfied smile.

"Well, unlike the haunted house, the atmosphere here makes people feel more terrifying, more tense, and more exciting. The long period of reasoning does not make people feel boring, and the moment of successful escape makes people want to cheer..."

"And no matter what, humans never abandoned Yuexia and always stayed by her side. Even though she was frightened sometimes, she also looked at Yuexia many times when solving puzzles, which made Yuexia feel very involved..."

“This place is really interesting!”

"Haha, I knew you would like it."

"only......"

“Just what?

Seeing Yuexia looking thoughtful, Jiang Ming asked subconsciously.

"It's just that this game is a bit difficult. It took us nearly an hour to complete it."

"Ah, is that so? Haha..."

"Ah! Compared to this, haven't you been looking forward to the fireworks under the moon? Now it seems like the time is almost up, yo?"

"Really? Then let's go!"

Upon hearing this, Yuexia excitedly pulled Jiang Ming, while Jiang Ming awkwardly glanced at the staff who were staring at him behind him and left with Yuexia.

Staff: "You guys know how to solve puzzles..."

..................

The time has come to the all-important half past eight.

The guide says that at this time the fountain will switch to water curtain mode, and the fireworks show will be launched simultaneously with the fountain light show, showing people splendor and romance.

"Is this the place, human?"

Yuexia looked around at first, and finally turned her gaze back to Jiang Ming. Jiang Ming also nodded like her.

"Well, it will start in a few seconds."

As soon as he finished speaking, he heard screams and shouts from others not far away. They looked in the direction of the sound and found that countless colorful water columns were rising from the lake in the distance, forming a unique rainbow in the sky.

"—?!"

I couldn't help but move forward under the moon, but this was probably natural. I believe that no matter who saw such a scene for the first time, they would react the same way.

"so beautiful......"

Yuexia praised unconsciously, but because she was too close, some water was about to splash on her. She subconsciously closed her eyes, but after waiting for a long time, she still didn't feel the water falling on her.

She opened her eyes slightly and found that Jiang Ming was blocking her.

"Thank you, human."

"Haha, don't thank me yet, look there."

Jiang Ming took Yuexia's hand and asked her to stand in front of him, with his finger pointing into the distance.

Looking in that direction under the moonlight, her cherry lips opened slightly, and her ruby-like eyes widened again, appearing so bright in the night.

"What's this?"

Under the moon, I looked at the sky, and a scene of water columns of various colors, the same as those gushing out of the fountain, appeared in front of me.

“This is a rainbow.”

Jiang Ming replied softly.

"It's beautiful, isn't it?"

"Ok!"

At the same time, a flute-like sound came from somewhere, and along with the sound of explosions, huge flowers bloomed in the air.

"It looks like the fireworks show has started too."

Jiang Ming squatted down slightly, put his hands on Yuexia's shoulders, and let her lean against him closely.

"At least I can enjoy myself today, under the moon."

"......Um!"

After Yuexia responded, perhaps because of the fireworks, her originally fair cheeks seemed to have turned red.

...............

"Today is definitely the most unforgettable day of my life. Thank you, human."

Sitting on the Ferris wheel under the moonlight, after watching the fountain light show still going on in the distance for a while, he smiled from the bottom of his heart and expressed his gratitude to Jiang Ming.

"Thank you for finding me and taking care of me."

"Thank you for giving your blood to me at that time."

"Thank you for being willing to fight a powerful enemy for me."

"Really, thank you..."

"......"

"Now that you've said thank you, don't let the tears fall."

Jiang Ming sat down next to Yuexia and let her sit on his lap. He wiped the tears from her face and hugged her tightly to him, expressing his gratitude.

"I should be the one saying thank you."

"Thank you for letting me find you, Yuexia."

After letting out a sob that sounded like she was happy, Yuexia responded loudly.

"Ok!"
