Chapter 1863: Chapter 1708: Escape Game 60

After returning to the room, Miao Shuangshuang just mentioned that another player had died, without going into specifics. Chi Qing and Lin Yu had a pretty good idea who it was, but said nothing; they laid out the bedding, preparing to sleep.

When going to bed, the three arranged the night watch schedule: Chi Qing takes the first shift, Lin Yu the second, and Miao Shuangshuang the last.

The person on the earlier shift has it a bit easier. Chi Qing has the least experience and weakest strength, Lin Yu comes second, while Miao Shuangshuang is the strongest, so she takes the last watch when it’s easiest to get sleepy.

After confirming the night watch hours, Miao Shuangshuang and Lin Yu went to sleep. Saying they were asleep, neither Miao Shuangshuang nor Lin Yu dared to sleep too deeply. Both slept lightly, making sure that any sound could wake them up.

The room was brightly lit, and the three didn’t turn off the lights. Halfway through the night, when Chi Qing and Lin Yu switched shifts, Miao Shuangshuang woke briefly but quickly fell back to sleep.

Half awake, Miao Shuangshuang felt a bit hot. She dreamed she was lying on a heated brick bed, the bed was extremely hot, the heat coming from beneath her and all around.

Miao Shuangshuang sensed something was wrong, it wasn’t a dream. She truly felt her body becoming very hot. She wanted to wake up, but felt as if her body suddenly refused to obey, unable to move at all.

Miao Shuangshuang activated the Inner Strength within her body. Fortunately, she could still circulate her Inner Strength, although much slower than usual. Concentrating, she separated her Inner Strength, targeting several acupoints on her body that would produce intense pain.

Pain is the best stimulus for a person. Following a burst of intense pain, Miao Shuangshuang’s rebellious body finally regained control, and she fiercely sat up, wide-eyed.

A strong smell of smoke wafted over, along with a sweltering heat. Miao Shuangshuang looked towards the door, where fire was bursting through the crack, thick smoke relentlessly squeezing in.

Lin Yu, who was supposed to be on night watch, was sitting there, sleeping deeply together with the lying Chi Qing.

Perhaps saying they were asleep isn’t quite right, as neither’s breathing was audible; saying they had passed out would be more accurate.

Miao Shuangshuang reached out to push Lin Yu, but Lin Yu slumped down in her grasp without any reaction. Miao Shuangshuang added force, shoving both Lin Yu and Chi Qing a few times, yet neither stirred.

Recalling her own experience, Miao Shuangshuang concluded these two likely could not control their bodies either. Utilizing her Inner Strength, she pressed several acupoints on their bodies.

Soon, two piercing screams erupted in succession. Using this intense pain, Lin Yu and Chi Qing finally regained consciousness and quickly regained control over their bodies.

Fortunately, Miao Shuangshuang’s stimulus was on the acupoints, so despite lingering pain after withdrawing the Inner Strength, it didn’t hinder their movements.

After coming to, Lin Yu and Chi Qing saw the thick smoke rolling in. Chi Qing’s throat had already been injured; the smoke caused him to cough violently.

Lin Yu, meanwhile, covered her mouth and followed Miao Shuangshuang, pulling Chi Qing towards the window. The door couldn’t be opened; who knows what would happen if it was.

Moreover, the fire outside reached the doorway, so the doorknob was likely hot enough to roast meat; it couldn’t be touched.

When Miao Shuangshuang chose this room, she noticed the living room window directly faced a street outside, enabling them to break the window and escape in case of emergency.

Upon reaching the spot, Miao Shuangshuang didn’t need to act. Chi Qing and Lin Yu each picked up a chair and fiercely smashed it against the window.

Surprisingly or unsurprisingly, the window took several hits from Chi Qing and Lin Yu without breaking, despite being made of ordinary glass, now as tough as bulletproof glass.

Miao Shuangshuang took the chair from Chi Qing, gathered her Inner Strength, and smashed it fiercely against the window several times. The inexplicably hard glass finally shattered, crashing to the ground.

Once the glass was broken, Chi Qing immediately wanted to jump out. Lin Yu swiftly grabbed him, in a hoarse voice said, "Don’t jump yet, there’s shattered glass below; we need to cover it with something before jumping."

Miao Shuangshuang nodded in agreement, "Better safe than sorry; it’s best to be cautious."

The three returned to the living room, quickly dragging the blankets from the ground and tossing them layer by layer out the window, covering all shards thoroughly before jumping out one after another.

Jumping down onto several thickly laid blankets, Chi Qing lifted a blanket to check, finding the originally scattered glass shards deeply embedded into the blankets.

The longest shard pierced through nearly three layers of blankets; stepping directly onto the shards would certainly have resulted in injury.

This world is so dangerous; injury would greatly diminish survival chances. Looking at this, Chi Qing felt a wave of fear.

Patting his pounding chest, Chi Qing gratefully remarked to Lin Yu, "Sister Lin Yu, you’re indeed cautious; otherwise, we’d have been injured for sure."

It was at dawn, the hotel fiercely burning under the dimly lit sky, with smoke swirling, yet no screams were heard.

Miao Shuangshuang called the police, and then she, Chi Qing, and Lin Yu left. Although forced to flee from the hotel by the fire in the later half of the night, they had slept before, so all three were in good spirits.

Not knowing where they should go, the three simply wandered around the streets. Compared to the bustling crowds in the daytime, the night streets were much quieter.

They wanted to find a breakfast shop to solve their morning meal, but after wandering around, they didn’t find any open shops, and even avoided a car that lost control and headed their way.

It wasn’t until daylight that they found an open breakfast shop, selling steamed soup buns. There were quite a few people in line; the three bought several baskets of buns and millet porridge, sitting off to the side to eat.

As they ate, the shop’s sign suddenly fell down with a creak, aimed directly at the spot where Miao Shuangshuang, Chi Qing, and Lin Yu were sitting.

Perhaps faced with danger so frequently, the three were accustomed. With their expressions unchanged, they quickly moved a few steps, carrying their buns and millet porridge, as the sign crashed onto the table, collapsing it entirely.

Miao Shuangshuang, Chi Qing, and Lin Yu calmly continued chewing their buns, holding their millet porridge steadily without spilling a drop.

Miao Shuangshuang looked up at the shop, finding the entire sign had come down, exposing a large blank space, clean with nothing left.

Then Miao Shuangshuang placed the buns and porridge she was holding onto the table below the blank sign space.

Turning around, she beckoned to Chi Qing and Lin Yu, "Quickly, come sit here to eat; the overhead sign has already fallen, and there’s nothing else to drop. We should be able to enjoy our meal without further disturbance."
