Chapter 251 Falling into the water
"I"

Li Guanqi's arm around her waist stiffened for a moment.

He wasn't oblivious to the meaning behind her words.

However, he was a patient.

How can someone who hasn't even cured themselves respond to the expectations of others?

He glanced at the red light flashing wildly on Tang Xin's wristband.

[Destiny Score: 32%]

Li Guanqi suddenly looked up, as if he hadn't heard what she had just said, and shouted, "Your life is in danger, hurry up!"

Tang Xin's shoulders trembled almost imperceptibly, then she twisted the accelerator pedal hard.

Flames shot out from the rear of the locomotive, and its speed increased again.

boom--!
The two people and their vehicle suddenly sped out of the area covered by the green poisonous fog.

Fresh air fills my lungs.

Tang Xin leaned over the front of the car, coughing violently and breathing heavily.

The lifespan number on her supercomputing ring stopped declining, stabilized at 32%, and then began to slowly rise again.

I just breathed a sigh of relief.

boom!
A crisp gunshot.

A burst of sparks erupted from the outside of the locomotive's rear wheel.

Li Guanqi and Tang Xin's expressions changed.

Sniper!
boom!boom!
Two more shots were fired, the bullets whizzing past their sides with a sharp whooshing sound.

There was open space ahead, with nowhere to hide.

Behind them was a continuously spreading poisonous fog.

dilemma.

Once a bullet hits the target, their assessment will have to end there.

"There's a bridge ahead!" Li Guanqi shouted urgently, his gaze sweeping across the distance. "Drive into the river!"

This poison is different from the one in the game; water can block it.

Tang Xin was stunned for only a moment before she reacted immediately and abruptly turned the car around.

The motorcycle, like a wild beast out of control, hurtled toward the edge of the stone bridge not far away.

Bang!

The fragile fence was easily smashed.

The motorcycle carrying the two people crashed off the bridge and plunged into the river below.

A feeling of weightlessness came over me.

In mid-air, Tang Xin pushed off the vehicle with all her might, trying to adjust her posture.

The two separated from the motorcycle and tumbled downwards.

Just then, the poisonous fog from the riverbank caught up and swallowed their figures as they were about to fall into the water.

The sniper clearly wasn't going to let them go and fired another shot.

The bullet pierced through the poisonous fog and flew towards Tang Xin in the air.

Just before the impact, time suddenly slowed down.

Li Guanqi could clearly see the trajectory of the spinning warhead tearing through the air.

The target was Tang Xin's brow.

The two were now face to face due to the mid-air tumbling, with Tang Xin on top and him on the bottom.

Can't escape.

A resolute glint flashed in Li Guanqi's eyes.

He suddenly reached out, not to push her away, but to grab the back of Tang Xin's head and pull her forcefully into his arms.

Their foreheads gently bumped together.

Caught off guard, Tang Xin's body fell downwards with his force.

Their noses touched, their breaths were audible, and their lips were only a hair's breadth apart.

In the stagnant sense of time, Tang Xin slowly widened her eyes, her heart pounding wildly.

This feeling…

She suddenly remembered the night she was stopped by the black car gang.

That was a nightmare she would never forget for the rest of her life.

After being shot in the shoulder, the effects of the alcohol wore off, and the intense pain and dizziness left her unable to exert any strength.

But her mind was perfectly clear.

She heard the foul language uttered by the goblin-like demons outside the car.

She gripped the car seat with all her might, resisting the hands that were trying to drag her out.

Even if I die, I'll die in the car.

Then came a second gunshot, followed by a man letting out a sharp, hoarse roar.

A strange scene happened.

She saw a bullet, suspended in mid-air, in front of the shattered car window.

Time has stopped.

Exactly the same as now.

But one person was unaffected.

Tang Xin's gaze was fixed on Li Guanqi's face, which was so close to hers.

It was him…

It really was him…

"So it really was you..."

She opened her mouth silently and murmured softly.

A sense of security she had never felt before instantly enveloped Tang's entire body.

A tear silently slid down her cheek and mingled with the poisonous fog.

She tightened her arms, wrapping her arms tightly around Li Guanqi's neck, as if she wanted to pull him into her embrace.

Then, she slowly closed her eyes, a slight smile playing on her lips.

The flow of time suddenly returned to normal.

The deadly bullet grazed Tang Xin's hair, the force of the gust of wind ruffling a few strands of her hair.

Splash! A huge splash of water erupted.

The two embraced and plunged into the icy river.

The river instantly submerged the two of them, and a chilling sensation swept over their entire bodies.

Tang Xin choked on several mouthfuls of water. She couldn't swim, so she thrashed about with her arms and legs.

Li Guanqi was so entangled with her that he almost sank down with her. He barely managed to steady himself and struggled to drag her along the river towards the safety zone.

He was enveloped by a feeling of suffocation and coldness, as water kept pouring into his ears and nose.

In a daze, a very distant and ethereal voice echoed deep within his mind.

"Dr. Li..."

The voice was devoid of emotion, yet possessed an indescribable quality, transcending the barriers of time and space, echoing endlessly in his mind.

How long can a person stay submerged in water?

The Youlan Islands, including Zhongzhi Island, are filled with the mixed smell of rust and chemical reagents in the chemical industrial zone.

A card duel is nearing its end.

On both sides of the field, the projections representing the basic score were flashing a dangerous red light, with only two or three thousand points remaining.

The man in purple looked at the ferocious fusion monster on his field, a cruel smile curving his lips.

He extended his gloved hand and pointed at Lin Chen across from him.

"【Predatory Plant Rhinoceros Horned Dragon】, direct attack!" The rhinoceros horned a low growl, twisting its spiky body. Countless dark green vines shot out like venomous snakes, their tips gleaming with a cold light, rushing straight towards Lin Chen.

"Die!" The purple-clad man's eyes flashed with a bloodthirsty light.

If this attack hits, Lin Chen's basic score will instantly drop to zero.

The duel will end in his defeat.

In a moment of crisis, Lin Chen frowned and raised his hand to slap the only face-down card on his field.

"Quick-attack spell, [Scapegoat]!"

The card was turned over, and a soft light shone through.

"A scapegoat?!" The purple-clad man's sinister smile froze, and his voice rose. "You even carry such an outdated card?"

He couldn't believe that in a duel environment filled with powerful effect monsters, someone would still include such a simple defensive card.

Lin Chen raised the corners of his mouth, revealing a playful smile: "As long as it works, who cares if it's old or not."

"Based on the effect of [Scapegoat], Special Summon four [Sheep Tokens] to my field."

Baa! Baa! Four fluffy, innocent-looking lambs appeared out of thin air, blocking Lin Chen's path and trembling as they watched the charging rhinoceros dragon.

They are small and have zero defense, but at this moment they form the most solid barrier.

The man in purple's face darkened, and he clicked his tongue, clearly displeased.

"Fancy..."

He changed his attack command: "[Rhinoceros Horned Dragon], tear one of the sheep to shreds!"

The vines that preyed on plants instantly turned and entangled one of the white [sheep derivatives].

The thorns on the vines easily pierced the defense, tightened suddenly, and with a short bleat, the sheep derivative was shredded into pieces, turning into specks of light and dissipating.

The man in purple chuckled, "You've survived another round."

"Hmph, I don't believe you have two [Max] and [Xiaoye] cards." He slightly raised the corners of his mouth.

"End of round."

The difference in monsters on both sides' fields is huge, both sides only have one card left in their hands, and both sides' life points are hovering on the edge of lethality.

The pressure was now on Lin Chen's side.

His hand contains a dead card, the level 8 [Magic Bullet Demon Samir].

The next draw is very important.

He didn't have a second [Max] and [Saya], and the endgame was tricky because he couldn't solve [Rhinoceros Horn Dragon].

"My turn, draw a card!" Lin Chen waved his hand and drew a card.

【Magic Bullet - Crimson Crown】

It's a card that's neither good nor bad. The downside is that this card itself has no combat power, and it doesn't have any effect on clearing the field or gaining resources.

The advantage is that you can play the [Samir] card that's stuck in your hand onto the field, but since there's no [Magic Bullet] monster on the field, you can't activate this trap in your hand; you have to set it for one turn first.

Lin Chen flipped through the few remaining cards in his Extra Deck, his fingertips tracing over a few cards before his gaze suddenly fixed on one.

A somewhat abstract, but perhaps feasible, idea took shape in his mind.

He raised his hand and pointed to the trembling lambs on the field.

"I'll set a connection marker for the two [Sheep Derivatives]!"

Two innocent lambs transformed into a red whirlwind, rushing towards the connecting arrow in the sky.

"Connect Summon!"

As the light converged, the image of a warrior wielding a flaming longsword and clad in heavy blue armor appeared.

"Show yourself, Link2, [the servant of the Underworld]!"

The warrior landed, his flaming blade radiating a scorching heat, standing guard in front of Lin Chen.

"【The barbarians of the Underworld】?" The purple-clad man frowned.

Lin Chen ignored his doubts and continued operating.

"It's not over yet. I'll set a link marker for the last [Sheep Derivative]!"

The last remaining lamb also transformed into a streak of light and flew into the sky, successfully forming a connecting arrow.

"Connect Summon!"

"link1, [Connect Spider]!"

A spider-shaped mechanical monster gleaming with metallic luster appeared on the field.

"【Netherworld Palace barbarians】? 【Connecting Spiders】?" The purple-robed man couldn't understand, and with a hint of wariness, he said, "They're all just small fry monsters!"

He glanced at his ferocious [Predatory Herbivorous Rhinoceros] on the field, which had an attack power of 2700.

"Even if you reconnect these two weaklings and evolve them into a Link 3?"

"The Rhinoceros Horned Dragon has never been afraid!" He smirked, a hint of disdain in his eyes.

Lin Chen smiled slightly, with a hint of mockery.

"Really? Then watch carefully."

He pointed to the two monsters he had just summoned.

"I've set link markers for 'Connecting Spider' in Link1 and 'Netherworld Traveler' in Link2!"

The Flame Warrior and the Electronic Spider transformed into streaks of light and charged toward the three lit connecting arrows.

The man in purple felt a jolt of unease, sensing something was amiss: "What is this arrowhead?!"

What's with this connection three? All three arrows are pointing in his direction.

Lin Chen's gaze turned cold, and he raised his voice, pondering deeply.

"A blade in the shadows, a flower of death in full bloom!"

"Bloom!"

A massive energy surge converged on the field, bursting into blinding light.

"Connect Summon!"

"Descend, Link 3! [The beautiful magnetic rhythm machine is broken!]!"

As the light faded, a brand new figure appeared in the connecting area.

It was a tall, slender female humanoid monster with long, silvery-white hair that moved without wind.

Her arms were not flesh and blood, but mechanical guns that gleamed with a cold light.

Several flexible mechanical tails behind it unfolded and danced like flower petals.

Attack: 100
"This monster is..." The purple-clad man's heart skipped a beat, "It has an attack power of 100, and it can perform a triple attack?!"

He gritted his teeth and shouted, "No matter what effect you activate, [Rhinoceros Horned Dragon] can suppress her!"

But the next second, before Lin Chen could even call to activate, [Beautiful Magnetic Mechanism Broken] raised her silver arm, the muzzle flashing with a ghostly blue light.

boom!
With a soft sound, three exquisite blue mechanical flowers were shot out, drifting towards the purple-clad man's area as if they were alive.

They spun lightly, landing on the [Predatory Herbivorous Rhinoceros] and the two empty spaces to its left and right.

One of the flowers was precisely attached to the ferocious body of the [Rhinoceros Horned Dragon], its petals unfolding to reveal tiny energy tentacles.

The man in purple's eyelids twitched: "What is this thing?"

Before the words were finished, the mechanical flower suddenly lit up, drawing power from the [Rhinoceros Horn Dragon] and flowing towards the [Beautiful Magnetic Mechanism] through some kind of link.

[Beautiful Magnet Machine Broken] Attack Power: 100 → 2800
"Attack power 2800?!" the purple-clad man exclaimed, his contempt turning into horror.

Seeing the other party's reaction, Lin Chen smiled and said, "【Beautiful Magnet Machine Broken】 will increase the original attack power of the monsters in the zone it is connected to."

"What!" The man in purple's eyes widened.

The effect is permanent and doesn't need to be activated. [Rhinoceros Horned Dragon] can't control it; [Rhinoceros Horned Dragon] can only suppress the effect of "activation".

"Battle phase!" Lin Chen raised his hand.

"[Beautiful Magnet Machine Broken], Attack [Predatory Herbivorous Rhinoceros]!"

Upon receiving the command, the dual-arm guns of the "Beautiful Magnetic Mechanism Malfunction" simultaneously charged, converging to produce a dazzling blue beam of light.

call out--!
The beam of light struck the Rhinoceros Horned Dragon precisely, and the dragon let out a defiant roar as its massive body shattered into pieces.

The purple-clad man's basic score projection flickered.

Red side's base score: 2500 → 2400
