Infinite Flow Cannon Fodder NPC Just Wants to Stay Alive Chapter 24

CHAPTER 68

Chapter 68: Dreamy Vacation Resort

Mu Sheng furrowed his brows, sensing something, but the thin black smoke around him obscured his view. He looked around and didn't notice anything unusual.

However, the players who had rushed in through the door saw the white-haired young man standing on the second floor, momentarily stunned. They thought they were the first batch of players to enter, only to discover that someone had gotten in even faster than they did.

Every player seeing Sheng for the first time shared the same reaction: a prolonged state of shock, unable to believe that such a clear, dreamy, sunset-colored glacier could exist in the desert.

After recovering from their astonishment, the players couldn't help but glance back at Sheng and then turn their heads to observe the situation inside the villa, instantly left speechless.

The woman, clearly a minor boss, was immobilized by invisible puppet strings binding her main joints. Even so, her resentful gaze remained fixed on the father and son making their way toward the door.

Father Shi seemed to have regained a bit of strength; supported entirely by his son, Shi Zheng, he slowly recovered some stamina and was able to move forward on his own.

He turned his head, and within his clouded, numb eyes—shaped by years of hardship—reflected the scene behind him.

Flames blazed fiercely within the villa, fiery tongues climbing up the furniture with alarming speed, almost devouring everything in their path. The once magnificent walls gradually turned black, the paint peeling away, falling onto other furniture and igniting new flames.

Moreover, Father Shi could see that the woman, who had become a monster in the eyes of others, trembled amidst the flames, as if encountering her nemesis; her skin, which had seemingly returned to normal, began to "peel away."

The only exception was her pair of crimson eyes, within which hatred and resentment had almost materialized, as red tears streamed down her cheeks.

She had already realized that she had no chance for revenge, nor any opportunity to kill anyone again.

Those who witnessed this felt a chill run down their spines, goosebumps erupting across their backs.

Players shouted, "Don't just stand there! The fire is about to blaze up; hurry and get out!"

"Get outside first!" 

The players rushed in chaotically, and upon seeing the uncontrollable flames, they scrambled back outside in disarray.

Seeing this, Mu Sheng moved the puppet strings in his hand, and he didn't need to say much to remind them. He had summoned these players out of concern that he couldn't handle the newly hatched boss on his own, but in reality, the boss posed little threat to him. It was on a completely different level compared to his earlier encounter with Yu Yangxu.

The white-haired youth had no intention of completely erasing its existence. After everyone here had left, he would take care of it.

As Shi Zheng dragged his father towards the door, he suddenly felt a strong resistance from his hand—it was Shi Father, enduring the pain in his neck and the weakness in his body, standing up. He then ran toward the heart of the flames.

Shi Zheng was momentarily stunned, instinctively shouting, "Dad!"

In Shi Zheng's memory, his father had always seemed vague and out of touch during his childhood. After his mother passed away from overwork, he couldn't help but harbor resentment toward this father.

Shi Father rarely interacted with the son left behind by his deceased wife. Even when he spent a lot of money, he would only ask a few perfunctory questions, remaining pale and silent, as if deliberately avoiding something.
