Chapter 170 Deserted Island Game 14

Lingjiu and Duan Yizhou have successfully obtained the key clues. Their next task is to meet up with Mu Zheng and Zhou Zhixia.

Meanwhile, Mu Zheng and Zhou Zhixia had just finished their bumper car race. Zhou Zhixia, pale as a sheet, was vomiting violently into a trash can, as if she were retching her very soul. She felt as if her internal organs were being rubbing and twisting around by an invisible hand, and she vowed to herself that she would never set foot in an amusement park again.

Mu Zhengze stood beside her with a concerned look on his face, patting her back gently, trying to ease her discomfort.

After a long pause, Zhou Zhixia leaned weakly against the chair and asked Mu Zheng weakly, "How come you're fine? You have such great physique. I'm so envious!"

Mu Zheng was actually in great pain, but being a man of strong character, he didn't show his pain. With a faint smile on his face, he said to Zhou Zhixia, "So you should exercise regularly in the future, so that you can stay healthy."

Zhou Zhixia heard this and curled her lips in dissatisfaction. "I'm exhausted from working like a beast every day. When I finally get a break, of course I have to sleep through the night. How can I have the energy to exercise?" Her eyes were full of fatigue and helplessness. Then she complained, "I don't want to move anymore. I'm so tired! I'm almost dead after going out."

Seeing that she was indeed exhausted, Mu Zheng stopped trying to persuade her and walked to the chair and slowly sat down.

"What's the magic of this amusement park? I was full of expectations before coming here, but after playing a few projects, I started to doubt my life." Mu Zheng seemed to be talking to himself, but also seemed to be chatting with Zhou Zhixia.

Zhou Zhixia muttered, "I was fooled by the name. What Paradise Island? I think it's more like Nightmare Paradise."

Mu Zheng chuckled, "I wonder how they're doing."

Thinking of the roller coaster, Zhou Zhixia sighed helplessly: "I wish them good luck!"

"But then again, if I had known that bumper cars were so scary, I would never have come to play them," Zhou Zhixia said with lingering fear.

"I didn't expect the project to be inconsistent with its name."

Zhou Zhixia's eyes widened. "Just now on the bumper car, I felt like a headless fly, bumping around everywhere. My head is still buzzing."

Mu Zheng suppressed his smile and said apologetically, "If it happens again, we can try something else, like a carousel."

Zhou Zhixia waved her hands repeatedly, "Come on, shut up! I get dizzy just looking at the rides now."

After a while, Lingjiu and Duan Yizhou found them.

When I saw Zhou Zhixia's pale face, I knew she had been through a lot in the project just now.

Mu Zheng raised his head, looked at Ling Jiu and Duan Yizhou with concern and asked, "How is it?"

Duan Yizhou calmly pulled the clue out of his pocket and replied calmly, "Found it."

Zhou Zhixia was originally sitting weakly, but when she heard Duan Yizhou say that he had found it, she suddenly sat up in shock from her dying illness and said excitedly: "You found the clue? What is written on it?" Her eyes were shining with curiosity and expectation, and she completely forgot about her physical discomfort.

Duan Yizhou gently spread out the paper and showed it to Mu Zheng and Zhou Zhixia. Written on it were the words "More than one person".

Mu Zheng stared at the words, his brow furrowed, lost in deep thought. Zhou Zhixia also frowned slightly, pondering something in his mind.

Duan Yizhou keenly noticed the changes in the expressions on the two people's faces and slowly said, "The clues say there's more than one person, which means the NPCs could be two, three, or even four. What do you think?"

Zhou Zhixia internally groaned, silently thinking: I thought as long as I kept my identity hidden, everything would be fine. But now, do I have to proactively find other NPCs? What should I do?! Sure enough, this money isn't so easy to earn. She remained silent, waiting for others to speak.

Mu Zheng nodded slightly and replied, "What you said makes sense, but the number of people is uncertain right now, so this is indeed a bit tricky. There is no clear direction."

"That's right, so we need more clues to guide us." Duan Yizhou and Lingjiu stared at each other for a few seconds, then looked away. That brief glance seemed to contain some deep meaning, yet it was elusive.

Mu Zheng seemed to notice Duan Yizhou's gaze and asked, "Did you find anything?"

Duan Yizhou shrugged slightly and said, "Not yet."

"Now that we have found the clue, let's go back quickly. I'm already starting to miss that wooden bed. I feel like just lying on it now would be an ultimate enjoyment." Zhou Zhixia said impatiently, his eyes full of desire for rest.

No one objected; after all, everyone was exhausted both physically and mentally after the day. Duan Yizhou took out his island landing card, placed it on the back of his phone, and expertly selected the "Go Home" option. Instantly, the screen flashed with a strange light, and the four of them were instantly transported back to the cabin.

Looking at the familiar wooden house in front of him, Zhou Zhixia couldn't help but sigh: "Although I have experienced it twice, every time I experience this magical teleportation, it still feels incredible, just like something out of a science fiction movie. With these experiences, I feel that my life is complete."

Mu Zheng agreed, "Yeah, this kind of experience used to be something I could only dream about."

Lingjiu just glanced at the wooden house indifferently without saying anything.

It was still early before dark, so they simply ate some food and sat together in silence.

Zhou Zhixia was the first to break the silence and asked, "Everyone, where should we start looking for clues tomorrow?"

Mu Zheng shook his head: "I'm not sure yet. Let's get some rest first. Maybe I'll have some new ideas tomorrow."

Duan Yizhou looked at Lingjiu and said, "What do you think?"

Lingjiu glanced at him and said, "I think I want to rest first."

Duan Yizhou chuckled and said, "Okay, I'll listen to you and rest first."

Just like that, after a few simple conversations, everyone went back to their rooms to rest.

When Lingjiu stepped out of the room again, it was completely dark. Duan Yizhou saw Lingjiu coming out, a smile appeared on his face, and he called out loudly: "Wake up! Come over here and warm yourself by the fire. It's very warm and comfortable." After saying that, he very considerately moved to the side to make room for a spacious and warm space.

Lingjiu didn't refuse, but walked over and sat down slowly. At this moment, Zhou Zhixia and Mu Zheng also came out of the house.

Zhou Zhixia's face was filled with misery, and he kept mumbling, "Oh, my whole body feels like it's been torn apart and put back together again. All my bones are falling apart, and it hurts so much!"

Mu Zheng couldn't help laughing when he saw her like this. He said with a hint of doting, "Look at how pitiful you are. I will make you a delicious meal tonight to nourish you."

Zhou Zhixia's eyes lit up instantly when he heard this. All the fatigue and pain were instantly thrown away. He excitedly shouted, "Really? That's great! Then I'll help you."

As they talked, the two of them excitedly returned to the cabin and started working on carrying food. From time to time, the crisp sounds of pots and pans colliding and their laughter could be heard.
