Chapter 61 It's time to hit the road!
"She said her family owns a small supermarket, and she was just taking inventory when she suddenly fainted due to low blood sugar. After waking up, she came here."
A tall, thin woman explained to everyone.
"Look, Little Fish, she's also from Pingjiang, isn't she?" a middle-aged woman named Liu Jia asked with a smile.
"Alright, look at this, it's a time for idle chatter. I'll continue. My name is Qin Cang, I'm 39 years old, I own a hotel, and my family is extremely wealthy."
This is my second time in this godforsaken place. If you're willing to protect me, I'm willing to pay you.
The man's accent was from Haijin. He was tall and stout, with a kind face and a naturally humorous way of speaking.
"Tch, still offering money? No amount of money will work here, you idiot," Su Wang interjected dismissively.
This sentence shattered the atmosphere that had just been relaxed, and several newcomers turned pale again.
Among the crowd, several disdainful glances were secretly cast at Su Wang, who had a smug look on his face.
"Excuse me, can I interrupt for a moment?"
Next, everyone will introduce themselves in Mandarin, and then we need to hurry.
"The sun outside looks like it's about to set; it sets very quickly here," Zhao Hu said, pointing out the window.
Before we knew it, the glaring sunlight had disappeared.
Looking through the window, you can see that the outside is already bathed in warm, orange light.
"Then I'll continue. My name is Chen Ximing, I'm 30 years old, and I'm a nail technician. This is my third time here."
The speaker was the tall, thin woman who was helping Liu Jia with her translation.
"Lin He, supermarket cashier, 23 years old, this is my first time here."
Lin Tian quickly introduced herself, but while speaking, her gaze mostly fell on Su Zixu.
"Liu Ye, you're 62 years old. I'm like a fortune teller. I hope everyone can unite and overcome this difficulty together. This is my fourth time," Yue Zheng Fengye said with a smile.
"My name is Dou Xiang, I'm 25 years old, and I work as an NPC in the escape room."
The man's voice trembled slightly, but he seemed to have accepted reality. Although there was still panic in his eyes, it was much better than when he was tied up.
"Zhang...Zhang Jingjing, 20 years old, sob sob sob...What kind of place is this? These handcuffs are hurting my hands so much."
The woman cried as she leaned into Dou Xiang's arms, looking terrified, but still spoke in a high-pitched voice.
The way they spoke sent a chill down everyone's spine; it was obvious to anyone with eyes that the two were a couple.
The two were still exchanging mushy words, but Su Zixu couldn't listen anymore and immediately introduced himself: "Su Zixu, 28 years old."
When it came time to mention his profession, he paused for a moment, then continued, "I am also a fortune teller, and this is my second time here."
"Ruan Jiaojiao, 22 years old, a ghost-hunting livestreamer, this is her first time here!"
The girl was very beautiful. Although it was her first time there, she was not afraid at all; on the contrary, she was extremely excited.
"Li Zheng, 28 years old, unemployed, first time. Is this some kind of variety show? It's boring. I'll cooperate if you pay me."
The man had a scraggly beard and looked unkempt. He picked his nose, wiped it on his pants, and spoke casually.
No one responded to him; everyone's attention was focused on the last person.
"Jianyu, 26 years old, pharmacist, third time." The girl's voice was cool and her expression was calm.
After everyone had finished introducing themselves, Su Wang spoke first: "There are 15 people in total this time. This dream is not easy. Including those who are uncertain, more than half of them are newcomers. What the hell?"
Zhao Hu, who had been tolerating him, suddenly erupted when he heard Su Wang continue to complain.
Zhao Hu grabbed Su Wang's tattered clothes and pulled him up from the ground.
"You little brat! Can't you shut the hell up? You're like a fly, what's the point of your constant complaining!"
Su Wang knew he couldn't beat Zhao Hu, but he didn't want to be on the opposite side of everyone from the start.
So Su Wang immediately changed his tune and apologized to Zhao Hu:
"Yes, it's my fault. Maybe it's too hot here, which made me irritable. You are the backbone of everyone, and we will listen to you in everything."
Seeing this, Zhao Hu could no longer continue his attack and had no choice but to let go, and the two sat down again.
Su Wang continued to apologize to everyone with a smile on his face, but a fierce glint flashed in his eyes when he looked at Zhao Hu.
Just as several experienced people were making a rough prediction about the dream, the sound of chains being opened was heard outside.
With the sound of a heavy chain hitting the ground, the door was kicked open by someone from the outside.
"Here I am." Zhao Hu looked towards the door and stood up from the ground.
Upon seeing this, everyone stood up, and several uneasy gazes turned toward the door from the crowd.
Two people came in from outside the door.
The two men wore headbands, round-necked narrow robes, simple leather armor, black boots, and swords at their waists. Their faces were dark, and they exuded an aura of dust and sand.
Su Zixu noticed that Su Wang's eyes narrowed slightly and the corners of his mouth curled up slightly, indicating that he had already received the information.
"It's time to get going!" one of the couriers shouted to the crowd.
