Lucky billion players, you've never seen one before / I can accumulate my own luck

Those who had gone out gradually returned to the safe house.

No one found food or drinking water, but they did find some wine that had been sitting for an unknown amount of time, which no one dared to drink.

It seems there really is nothing to eat in this dungeon.

Although it's a bit of a shame, not eating for just one day doesn't have a particularly big impact on a person.

Fan Xiao noticed that Lu Xining was holding a somewhat worn-out doll. It seemed that her luck... no, it should be said that her sister's luck was quite effective.

After everyone closed and blocked the door to the safe house and rested for a while, it was 6:30.

The monster's hibernation period has ended.

In that instant, all six people in the room felt as if they were momentarily dazed, then their minds cleared up.

Soon after, sounds began to come from outside.

The ground trembled slightly from time to time.

The entire city of Vibe seemed to come alive and begin to breathe.

The noises increased.

getting bigger.

This was accompanied by some low growls.

There were also cries of agony.

There are monsters...fighting outside.

Fan Xiao's prediction was accurate; monsters really do prey on each other.

Bang!

The walls of the safe house were struck, making a dull thud.

bang, bang...

A series of noises followed.

The monster seemed to have smelled the blood inside the house and lingered around the safe house, repeatedly ramming into it.

Everyone was on edge, caught in a state of vigilance and panic.

Even Fan Xiao frowned.

This feeling of helplessness—that one's safety depends entirely on the sturdiness of a building—is very unsettling.

Fortunately, after the attacks continued for a while without success, the monsters gave up.

The hearts of everyone inside the room that had been hanging in suspense finally settled down.

……

The night passed quickly.

It was 7:30 in the morning.

Everyone who had already woken up felt a moment of mental confusion and a desire to sleep.

This feeling comes and goes quickly.

As expected, this should be a dormant signal from Vibe City to the monsters.

I don't know what technology was used to achieve this.

After a good night's sleep, Fan Xiao felt completely refreshed.

However, including him, no one had any intention of going out right now.

The monsters had just fallen asleep.

Let the bullets fly for a while longer.

Since the location of the time station has already been deduced, all that remains is to investigate, so there's no need to rush.

By 8 o'clock, everyone was getting impatient and turned their attention to Fan Xiao.

Fan Xiao told everyone to wait another hour.

Lu Xining stared at Fan Xiao for a while, confirming her guess.

"His terrifying talent really does have a cooldown period, exactly a whole day? No, it's also possible that he's just creating a smokescreen, and the truth is... tsk, what a cunning fellow."

She silently criticized Fan Xiao in her mind.

Time passed by minute by minute.

9 o'clock arrived quickly.

"Take the body with you, let's go."

Fan Xiao finally changed his posture from sitting against the wall and stood up.

"Phew... I can finally walk! I was so suffocated!"

The college student took an exaggerated deep breath.

Being confined in a closed room without a cell phone or entertainment is indeed quite difficult for modern people.

The door was quickly opened.

The people took the body out of the house without question.

Since we were about to face the dungeon boss, and considering the issue of conserving everyone's stamina, the five corpses, except for Fan Xiao's, were distributed among the five people.

Lu Xining seemed to have a severe case of mysophobia, directly manipulating the puppet to drag the corpse behind her.

Fan Xiao glanced at Lu Baizhi. The girl carried the monster's corpse and moved a little slower than the others.

Perhaps her physical evolution rate isn't very high.

"Let me do it."

Fan Xiao snatched the body from her hands.

"Ah... um..." Lu Baizhi was a little embarrassed.

"You're the weakest of the six of us, so conserve your energy," Fan Xiao reminded him. "After all, we don't know what might happen later."

"I understand, thank you."

Lu Baizhi expressed her sincere gratitude.

……

The aquarium is not far from the safe house.

Fan Xiao had anticipated this.

The biggest challenge in selecting the copy lies in the "Werewolf" game.

As for finding the station, even if you're not very bright and can't figure out its location, you can use the simplest method: search outwards from the safe house, building by building, and you should be able to find it in about three or four days.

"This place is completely half-destroyed."

The college students looked at the aquarium, which was only slightly better than ruins, with suspicion on their faces.

Will there really be dungeon bosses and train stations inside?

"Let's begin our exploration."

Fan Xiao was the first to step through the broken door and go inside.

Seeing this, the others followed suit, all walking cautiously and trying to walk on tiptoe.

The interior of the aquarium was also in a state of disrepair.

The floor and walls were filthy, and the tiles in many places were cracked.

The group of six continued to venture deeper into the area.

Fan Xiao discovered that all the water tanks he could see along the way were broken, and they contained not only no marine or freshwater life, but also no water.

After thoroughly searching the aquarium, the six found no clues.

"Let's go see one last place."

Fan Xiao said.

He then led the way to the aquarium's performance area.

The glass dome of the performance venue was broken, and sunlight shone directly down onto the huge pool below, making the water surface ripple.

After Fan Xiao and the others entered, they went to their seats in the audience area.

There is a pool directly in front of you.

Everyone immediately turned their attention to the center of the pool—where there was a circular platform made of metal.

A three-meter-high metal door stood on the platform.

At the very top of the door, a combination of bright white material revealed a string of letters and numbers—

——G08－010－A1.

Time Station!

There really is a G08-010-A1 time station in the aquarium!

Looking at the metal door that was emitting a faint glow, everyone had the same thought: the station was just beyond the door.

The college students got excited.

However, just as he was about to speak, Fan Xiao suddenly turned around and looked at him, freeing one hand to make a "shh" gesture with his finger.

The college student instinctively shut his mouth.

Fan Xiao made a gesture.

The crowd understood his meaning and temporarily left the audience seats, going outside the performance area.

At this moment, Fan Xiao lowered his voice and said, "The door connecting to the time station is inside, everyone has seen it, but don't be too happy yet."

“I just estimated that there is about 20 meters of water between the edge of the stands and the metal platform where the door is located. We can’t jump across; we can only swim across.”

"And in the water... if nothing unexpected happens, the dungeon boss is in the water."

Chapter 15 The Swearing Loli

Upon hearing Fan Xiao's words, Lu Baizhi's face turned pale, and she gripped her skirt tightly with both hands, feeling extremely nervous.

Lu Xining's expression was also not good.

Fan Xiao glanced at the two sisters and asked, "You can't swim?"

“I will,” Lu Xining frowned, pointing at her sister, “but she won’t.”

Fan Xiao looked at the others: "Is there anyone else who doesn't know how to do it?"

"I...I only know a little bit. I can barely swim forward, but I can't breathe properly or tread water."

The college student said nervously.

Swimming is not an essential skill; not everyone can do it.

There are plenty of people who can't swim.

Of the six people present, four could swim, a proportion that surprised Fan Xiao.

"No need to breathe or tread water. It's only 20 meters. With the physical abilities of an evolved being, you can swim across in one breath without any problem. The only thing you need to pay attention to is your mindset. Just don't be too nervous."

Fan Xiao earnestly reminded the college students.

Then he looked at Lu Baizhi: "As for you..."

“I’ll leave her to me,” Lu Xining said. “I’ll swim across with her.”

"It's possible, but the risk is too great. Nobody knows how much time the corpse used as bait can buy us. If you bring someone who can't swim, falling too far behind will become very dangerous."

Fan Xiao shook his head and asked, "When you're swimming, can you control the puppet to carry your sister and fly directly through the air?"

"It should be possible, but I control the puppet according to the laws of physics. If I pull a person up and fly them in the air, I will have to support the weight of two people. It would be more effective than just swimming with them, since water can provide some buoyancy. Moreover, controlling the puppet would mean multitasking, which would slow me down."

"Then I'll take care of your sister."
