I loaded the dream game

Xia Zhi was silent for a moment, took a deep breath and said, "No."

"..." Yukinoshita turned around, looked at him in confusion and asked, "What?"

"I won't let you die." Xia Zhi replied. After thinking for a moment, he added, "Besides, I will definitely let you go back."

“…You.”

Yukinoshita shook her head helplessly: "You really don't know how to coax a girl."

Xia Zhi had a few black lines on his head: Woman, don't go too far. If it weren't for your illness, do you think I would say such comforting words?

"But I think it's good for you to be like this." Seeing Xia Zhi's unhappy expression, Xuexiashita chuckled: "At least, you won't say those false words, nor will you use insincere and beautiful words to maintain the situation, and you won't do things that are unfair to please others. In my eyes, you are much more real than others..."

There is no mask on your face...just like me.

The girl thought to herself.

"You've got the wrong person. I'm a frequent liar." Xia Zhi said indifferently as he helped the girl change the towel on her forehead.

"But you never go out of your way to cover up your lies, do you?" Yukinoshita asked back.

Xia Zhi thought about it and it seemed to be true, although he didn’t think there was anything special about it.

"Come to think of it, why are you still talking so much even though you're sick?" He glanced at the girl with some suspicion - could this girl be pretending?

Yukinoshita fell silent. She didn't know why she talked so much today. It was as if she wanted to pour out everything she hadn't said in the past month. She didn't feel like her usual self at all.

"Maybe, I'm really sick..."

The girl gently closed her eyes and whispered in a voice that only she could hear.

After she relaxed her mind, tiredness and sleepiness quickly came over her, causing her consciousness to gradually sink into a dream.

Listening to the girl's gradually steady breathing, Xia Zhi breathed a sigh of relief, raised his head to look at the empty ceiling, and murmured in a low voice: "Soon..."

More than a month has passed, and there is only about half a month left before the sixty days required for the main mission.

What happens after the dream instance ends?

I couldn't help but start looking forward to the summer solstice.

.......

Chapter 12 The Coming Crisis

Yukinoshita's cold was not serious. After waking up the next morning, the symptoms were significantly alleviated. Although there were still some signs of fever, it was much better than that night when she was so weak that she couldn't even walk.

However, at Xia Zhi's insistence, the girl still stayed in bed for two days. During this period, all housework such as cooking, washing dishes and clothes naturally fell on Xia Zhi.

Fortunately, the storm outside never stopped, so he temporarily canceled his plan to go out. Otherwise, he would not have had enough time to deal with these chores.

After Yukinoshita's illness was completely cured, the lives of the two returned to normal track, but the only difference compared to before was that there was a significant change in the relationship between the two after experiencing these things.

Unconsciously, Yukinoshita no longer put the table down when she went to bed at night like she used to. She started to pay attention to Xiazhi's taste when cooking, and occasionally invited him to come over to taste the food and give suggestions. When sitting on the sofa reading, she no longer deliberately sat away from Xiazhi. Sometimes she felt sleepy after reading and wanted to take a break, but when she woke up, she found that she had leaned against the boy who was also taking a nap... These were all proofs that she was no longer on guard against the boy.

The relationship between the two of them had inadvertently become much closer, and both Xia Zhi and Xueshita knew this very well, but neither of them said it out loud.

This was a good thing for Xia Zhi, because after the girl started to care about his taste, the food she cooked became more and more delicious. The originally boring days were no longer boring because of daily chatting and bickering. If it weren't for the continuous heavy rain outside, he might really think that such a life was pretty good.

Yes, the rain outside was still falling. To be more precise, the rain had never stopped since that day, and it seemed to be flooding the entire world.

Fortunately, the terrain of Xunzhiaoka Academy itself is relatively high, and they live on the upper floors of the teaching building, so they are not troubled by flooding for the time being.

The only trouble was that due to the continuous heavy rain, the water outside was deep enough to almost drown half a person. It was definitely impossible to continue going out to explore for supplies like before. Fortunately, Xia Zhi had intentionally stockpiled a lot of food before. Conservatively estimated, it would be no problem for the two of them to survive for a month or so, which was enough for them to hold on until the end of the copy.

Feeling sleepy, Xia Zhi yawned, tightened the quilt around him, and huddled down on the sofa. On the other side, a sweet-looking girl was sitting on the sofa, reading a book quietly in the sound of the pouring rain. The occasional sound of pages turning made Xia Zhi feel even sleepier.

The soft, bright light illuminates the small room. Outside the window, heavy rain is pouring. The whole world is gloomy and the dark sky seems to be collapsing. However, the world in the room is exceptionally quiet, filled with an indescribable atmosphere of tranquility and warmth.

Although this scene is heartwarming, it is actually just an ordinary scene in the past half month. There is nothing worth paying attention to. But today is a little different, because after today, the sixty-day deadline required by the main task will be reached.

In other words, after today, this dream copy will be over.

The reward for the main mission one is 5 dream points for every extra day of survival, which means 300 dream points for sixty days. Add to that the extra rewards for the main mission two and the entire main mission, and he can get a total of 1100 dream points at one time. It is no exaggeration to say that he became rich overnight.

With so many points, can I do whatever I want in the next copy?

Xia Zhi couldn't help but think.

However, while he was daydreaming, he suddenly heard an unusual buzzing sound coming from outside the window.

The sound was not very obvious amid the sound of continuous rain outside, but as time went on, the buzzing sound gradually became clearer and clearer, and it sounded as if it was approaching this side quickly.

Yukinoshita also heard the unusual noise. She put down the book in her hand, looked out the window, and soon saw a small black dot under the gloomy clouds and between the rain.

"Helicopter?" She was slightly surprised as she quickly figured out what the black spot was.

Originally, because no one responded to the signal sent by the portable radio, Yukinoshita had gradually begun to accept the fact that there were no other living people in the world except herself and Xia Zhi. However, the appearance of this helicopter overturned her previous speculation and brought her new hope.

What puzzled her was that everyone knew that flying a plane in bad weather was a very dangerous thing. Why did the unknown helicopter pilot choose to fly in such bad weather?

Could it be that something forced him to make such a choice?

Yukinoshita felt a little uneasy and leaned towards Xiazhi's position involuntarily.

At the same time, Xia Zhi also received a game prompt that triggered a new side quest:

[Side Quest: Rescue the Strange Driver]

[Task Reward: 300 Dream Points]

Without paying attention to the mission reward, which could be described as generous, Xia Zhi's eyes first fell on the two words of the mission requirement:

"rescue?"

Why rescue?

Could it be that……

He had a bad feeling in his heart.

Sure enough, the next moment after the task prompt appeared, the small black dot representing the helicopter in the distance seemed to have suddenly malfunctioned and began to sway from side to side in the wind and rain.

The shaking was not severe at the beginning, and it was obvious that the pilot was trying his best to control the stability of the fuselage. However, flying in such a storm was already very difficult, not to mention that the helicopter seemed to have some problems. After flying for a while, the helicopter finally staggered and fell down like a drunkard.

The place where it fell was exactly the Xunzhi Hill Academy where Xiazhi and Yukinoshita were at the moment! .

Chapter 13 Preparing to Escape

"boom--!"

The crashed helicopter hit the school's wall and instantly exploded into a ball of blazing fire. At the same time, a large hole was also created in the originally repaired wall.

"I knew it!"

Xia Zhi cursed in his heart.

In the past two months, apart from the crisis in the shopping mall at the beginning, he basically did not encounter any dangerous things. The side quests that were triggered several times did not cause him too much trouble. It is easy to think that from the perspective of the game designer, how could it be possible for him to complete the mission and pass this copy so easily.

Now that he thought about it, the unreasonable heavy rain before was probably deliberately created by the game to increase the difficulty for him, and the disaster he encountered now was probably the final test given to him by the game.

The breach in the wall was not the worst thing; the loud roar from the helicopter explosion was a more troublesome thing for the two.

Such a loud explosion would probably be heard throughout half of the city even with the sound of rain covering it. By then, the zombies, who had already become restless due to the heavy rain, would quickly rush over here like piranhas smelling blood when they heard such a loud noise. Coupled with the breach in the wall, if nothing unexpected happened, this academy would soon change from a safe refuge to one of the most dangerous places in the entire city.

Xia Zhi glanced at the information displayed on the task panel and found that the task of [Rescue the Stranger Pilot] still did not indicate failure, which meant that the helicopter pilot was still alive.

"Is my life so tough?" he complained in his heart.

Although the reward for the mission was generous, he had no intention of completing it.

Even though the reward for this side quest is as high as 300 points, it would not be worth it if you waste precious escape time for such a small reward, putting yourself and Yukinoshita in danger, and ultimately causing the failure of the main quest.

"So, big brother who drives the helicopter, I'm sorry, you just have to work harder."

Xia Zhi thought so, pulled Xueshita's hand beside him, and turned to walk out the door with her without hesitation.

"Are you leaving here?"

Yukinoshita did not resist his pulling her hand, but asked in a calm tone, as if she had already expected the boy to make such a decision.

"Yeah." Xia Zhi nodded and replied, "This place is no longer safe. We need to move to another place."

As he spoke, he walked to the sofa, pulled out a black pistol from under the cushion and handed it to Yukinoshita, then took out another standard rifle and held it in his own hand.

In the past two months, he had deliberately taught Yukinoshita how to use a pistol, so he was not worried that the girl would not be able to use it... As for whether she could shoot accurately, that was another matter.

"..."

Yukinoshita silently looked at the black pistol in his hand, then at the standard rifle in Xia Zhi's hand. After a moment of silence, he retracted his gaze and looked at the heavy rain outside the window.

"Where are you going?" she asked.

"I don't know." Xia Zhi took out another bulletproof vest and threw it to the girl, motioning her to put it on. Then he changed his own bulletproof vest and said as he put it on, "Anyway, let's get out of here first."

The function of a bulletproof vest is not only to prevent zombies from biting you, but also to a certain extent to prevent harm from friendly forces - he didn't dare tell the girl this.

In order to reduce the weight, he chose not to bring any other supplies, not even a can of food. In his mind, it was the last day anyway, so it didn't matter whether he brought anything or not. At most he would just go hungry for a while.

Although Yukinoshita was a little puzzled by Xia Zhi's decision, she did not ask out of her trust in the boy.

After opening the door of the room, the sound of the isolated rainstorm immediately became clear, and the cold wind mixed with fine raindrops blew in the face. Coupled with the gloomy and heavy sky and the occasional lightning between the clouds, it gave people a feeling as if the end of the world had come.

No, it should be said that this is the end of the world.

Xiazhi and Yukinoshita pushed open the barrier wall at the end of the corridor and went downstairs along the stairs.

Because of the continuous heavy rain for more than ten days, the water below was already half a person's height deep. It was very difficult to walk in such deep water during a storm, and one had to be careful of dangerous things that might appear underwater. Xia Zhi and the other person walked very slowly, and it took more than ten minutes to walk from the teaching building to the wall of the academy.

Yukinoshita couldn't help but turn her head to look at the place where the helicopter crashed. Even in such a heavy rain, the flames caused by the explosion did not go out immediately. With the reflection of the fire, she vaguely saw dense black spots surrounding that place.

"stop looking."

Xia Zhi turned her head back, squatted slightly with his back to her and said, "Hurry up and go up first, otherwise we will be the ones surrounded later."

Yukinoshita nodded, stepped on Xiazhi's shoulders, and climbed up the wall with his help.

After sending the girl to the other side of the wall, Xia Zhi felt a little relieved.

On the other side of the wall was parked a heavy truck, which he had specially prepared to prevent accidents. Unexpectedly, it actually came in handy - in such deep water, only such large vehicles could be used normally.

At the same time, the truck's sturdy and heavy body can also protect them from the threat of zombies outside. As long as they can leave this dangerous place and find a safe place to hide for half a day, the main task will be completed.

Xia Zhi was thinking this, and just as he was about to climb over the wall to join the girl, he was attracted by a line of subtitles that suddenly appeared in front of him:

[Mission failed: Target person has died]

[You have triggered a new side quest: Obtain the initial vaccine experimental drugs]

[Task Reward: 150 Dream Points]

"An experimental vaccine?"

Xia Zhi was stunned for a moment. He remembered that this thing also appeared in the original work of School Island. It was used to cure those infected in the early stage. At that time, he went to the basement in the original work on purpose to look for it. He was lost for a long time after discovering that all the vaccines that should have been stored there had been taken away.

"I mean, the driver is still carrying the vaccine?" he thought to himself.

Forget it, it has nothing to do with me anyway.

Xia Zhi was thinking, but just as he was about to climb over the wall to join the girl, he suddenly heard the girl's short scream and the sound of "plop" falling into the water from the other side of the wall.

Chapter 14 I Won't Let You Die

Time goes back to half a minute ago, and Yukinoshita had just carefully jumped down from a wall that was more than one person high.

The half-person-deep water cushioned the impact of her fall, but the sudden change in resistance after she fell into the water almost caused her to lose her balance and fall into the water. Fortunately, she managed to stabilize her body by holding onto the wall beside her.

Yukinoshita raised her head and looked towards the place where the truck was parked in her memory. However, the next moment after seeing the situation clearly, her body suddenly froze in place.

In the field of vision, a dog-like creature half the height of a human was standing on top of the truck, staring at this side with its cloudy eyes. Apparently, the sound of falling into the water just now attracted its attention.

"It just happened to be a zombie dog..."

Yukinoshita felt that not only her body but also her heart was soaked in cold water. She gritted her teeth, tried her best to control the fear in her heart, and clenched the pistol in her hand.

Be calm and don't be timid.
