Chapter 178: Already in the Game
Li Xiangyang Weiwei smiled, a complex emotion flashing in her eyes.
"If there is any place in this world where living is more painful than dying, it is probably here."
The oppressive atmosphere, coupled with his deep voice, created an atmosphere of indescribable despair.
Yu Miaomiao felt that she had never seen Li Xiangyang like this before. He was not the kind of person suffering from the pain of the apocalypse. The Li Xiangyang in front of her had lost his previous madness and unruliness, and had become more timid and helpless.
She couldn't help but delve deeper, "What kind of experiment is being conducted here?"
"I can't say that. You've just arrived, so don't ask so many questions. It's almost time for class. Go back and listen to the training. Remember, you absolutely cannot tell anyone that you've been here, and you absolutely cannot trust anyone."
Li Xiangyang's gaze slowly shifted to the dark laboratory around him, the mottled marks on the walls seeming to tell countless secrets.
"If we're lucky, we'll become colleagues after you pass the test. Although... that might not necessarily be a good thing."
After saying that, without giving Yu Miaomiaotime to continue speaking, Li Xiangyang pulled her to the laboratory door, checked that there was no one in the corridor, and pushed her out.
"Wait, I...I'm lost. Where's the classroom?"
"Go to the end, turn right, and go upstairs to the first room."
Li Xiangyang closed the heavy door to the laboratory and ignored Yu Miaomiao.
Yu Miaomiao stared into the long corridor, increasingly puzzled. This didn't seem to be the corridor they had come from...
Since entering The Nineteenth Institute, she seems to have lost the ability to distinguish between reality and... time travel?
However, she quickly calmed down and realized that He Liang's shadowy figure had followed her out.
Here, she can't trust anyone, but she has teammates she can absolutely rely on, so she has nothing to be afraid of.
"Holy crap... what's going on? It wasn't like this just now."
He Liang's voice came in a low voice from the shadows, and the others in the shadows also looked at the corridor with its flickering dim lights.
"It's brighter here than when we came in."
"Perhaps it's a time-space overlap that has brought us back to a certain moment in the past. Did you notice? Li Xiangyang also looks much younger than before."
Yes, the Li Xiangyang they see now is at least ten years younger than the crazy Li Xiangyang.
"Did we travel back in time?" Lu An guessed.
"But the timing doesn't match up. Judging by age, this Li Xiangyang is at most in his early twenties..." More than ten years ago, The Nineteenth Institute was in the same state of ruins as it is now in the Post-Apocalyptic World.
Yu Miaomiao couldn't figure it out, so she simply stopped thinking about it. What they wanted now was the equipment in the lab; the rest had nothing to do with her.
However, Li Xiangyang doesn't recognize her now, so naturally he can't cooperate with her to stop the equipment or help her make the antidote.
They seemed to be in a hopeless situation.
"How about trying to advance the plot?" Ji Musaid cautiously. He had been speaking very little these days because he realized that he couldn't help at all, and not interrupting would save everyone time.
"What's the meaning?"
"Suppose we are now in a game, and we treat our current experience as a dungeon. If we want to leave, can we try to follow the storyline and move forward? Maybe then we can get out of this predicament smoothly."
Games, dungeons... it's not impossible.
Although they couldn't tell which timeline they were in, at least Yu Miaomiao had made contact with Li Xiangyang in this timeline, so they decided to try to push the story forward.
However, at this moment, they were not bystanders, but participants in the situation.
