Doomsday Wonderland Vol. 10: Lava [Complete]

1244: I'll Lend You a Hand

Lin Sanjiu wasn't foolish. After experiencing two doomsdays on the same planet, she had formed a speculation in her mind about this place.

If one were to look down from high above, they would likely see a network of intersecting roads, crisscrossing the land and dividing it into irregular fragments. People were safe on the roads; she had already verified this twice. On either side of the roads of the highway were developed pocket dimensions from the past—now integrated with the characteristics of the doomsdays, and even people could come and go with visas.

So, since the left side of the road was lava, who's to say the right side wasn't another doomsday?

Since the plan's already set, let's go for it!

Lin Sanjiu clenched her teeth, twisted her body, and leaped towards the right side of the road's barrier. Bonnie Bunny seemed to curse from afar, and almost immediately after, Lin Sanjiu heard the sound of the unfortunate soul, controlled by Bonnie Bunny, tumbling towards her.

With her momentum rushing forward, Lin Sanjiu grabbed hold of Yuan Xiangxi and, with a single push, vaulted over the guardrail, stopping just before crashing into the bushes. Bonnie Bunny, apparently aware of the significance of leaving the road, hesitated for a moment. The target, no longer under her control, fell to the ground like a dismembered doll, as if its body had turned into unrelated fragments. With the fall of the target, the lava vanished instantly.

"You crossed the highway!" Yuan Xiangxi whispered, covering his mouth. His brows furrowed tightly, as if he dared not open his eyes to see the terrifying world beyond the fence. He seemed content to stay where he was, like a trapped goose awaiting its fate.

Lin Sanjiu released him and stood up behind the fence without saying anything, meeting Bonnie Bunny's eyes from a distance. For a moment, neither of them moved.

After a while, Bonnie Bunny gritted her teeth and smiled. "Because of you," she said, her anger evident and almost palpable in her tone, though she didn't raise her voice intentionally. It was enough to cut through the air like a knife. "I lost one person."

Or, to put it more accurately, she lost one potential target to send to the hospital?

She used a mission target to chase after Lin Sanjiu, probably hoping for a one-for-two exchange. Now that she had lost the target, she wouldn't be satisfied leaving without confronting Lin Sanjiu.

"How many are left?" Lin Sanjiu asked, crossing her arms.

Bonnie Bunny was taken aback.

"How many more people do you need to send to the hospital before you can leave the lava?" Lin Sanjiu asked with a forced smile, hoping to divert Bonnie Bunny's attention from the guardrail.

To her surprise, Bonnie Bunny actually responded. The other party sneered and, with a smile, said, "There are 219 people left. Compared to the total, I am almost at the end. What? Are you surprised? I'm different from low-level people like you."

"Why don't you go back and continue hunting players?" Lin Sanjiu said, subtly extending her foot to nudge Yuan Xiangxi's clothes slightly away from the concrete guardrail. They had very limited space to maneuver, probably no more than half an arm's length. She silently hoped that Bonnie Bunny wouldn't detect anything amiss on their side of the road. "Do you want to catch another person and throw him on this side of the road? You should realize we're already in another pocket dimension, and the lava is ineffective here."

From a practical standpoint, it wouldn't be sensible for Bonnie Bunny to squander another target on them. But rationality often bows to emotion, and this woman seemed to harbor deep grudges. If she chose to attack again, Lin Sanjiu might have no choice but to scale the actual fence.
