My Exclusive Dream World Adventures-Chapter 68 : 068 Bone

Chapter 68: 068 Bone

The transport vehicle was moving, slightly jolting along.

The cab was very quiet, with only the soft sound of the engine and the noise of the wheels pressing against the ground.

Chen Xu closed his eyes, contemplating his next move. Shooting was really stress-relieving, and after pushing back several waves of attacking monsters, the anger in his heart had largely dissipated, leaving him much calmer.

There were still over four months until the dream world ended, not a short time, and it required careful planning.

In the refuge, in a fit of anger, he had told Yang Jinxia they should go their separate ways. Since the words were already out, there was naturally no way to take them back.

First, he needed to find a place to settle down. He could try his luck at several other nearby refuges.

...

Yes, when it was time to split, he would take the vehicle. Right, and there was 2003, which could cook and could watch while he slept. It would be a big help.

He could leave her the energy core as a door knocker for entering A020 refuge. However, he needed to exchange it for a battery with less power, otherwise, the transport vehicle would have no power.

As for the other supplies, they would split them equally.

“We’re here.”

While he was thinking about the plan for the split, he heard 2003’s voice. He opened his eyes and looked out the window.

By now, it was nearly dark outside, everything was dim, and through the shadows, he could vaguely see a tall surrounding wall, like a massive shadow.

The white headlights shone far, piercing through the darkness, reflecting the mottled black rust on the wall.

He took a look and felt an unusual atmosphere, instinctively tightening his grip on the gun.

Following the usual tactics of video games, they had now reached the second instance, and in such a somber atmosphere, it was just the time for the boss to appear.

What would it be?

His palms began to sweat.

He had always been wary of this world.

A world that had developed numerous black technologies had turned into ruins, forcing humans to hide in underground refuges. What kind of enemy had they encountered?

If it was as the name of this world suggested, caused by alien beasts, then how powerful were these monsters?

It was beyond imagination.

The green-skinned gorillas and giant wolves he had encountered so far were hardly a threat to humanity.

This world still had many unknowns, and although he sometimes felt curious, he was not very willing to take risks.

He could only enter this dream world once a month, and with the device malfunctioning, who knew when it might completely break down. Naturally, he cherished such opportunities greatly, preferring to play it safe.

Yang Jinxia also seemed affected by the gloomy atmosphere, and the speed of the car slowed down as she drove towards the gate.

Before they knew it, it was completely dark.

Outside the window was pitch black, so dark it was as if one could not see their hands before their faces, and staring into it for too long made one’s heart flutter.

Only the lights in front of the car pulled out a long white strip of light, which, as the vehicle slightly jolted, occasionally shook, shining higher up on the wall, as if a gun barrel flickered past in a flash.

Even Chen Xu, who had experienced the last dream and was accustomed to the silence and darkness, felt somewhat panicked and out of breath at this moment.

In the silence, Chen Xu could distinctly hear some rapid breathing. He looked towards the driver’s seat, and in the light inside the car, he saw her hands tightly gripping the steering wheel, without a tremor.

Even though he had some opinions about her at heart, deep down he still admired her. This kind of mental toughness was not something ordinary people possessed.

If all this were indeed happening in reality, the wisest course of action would have been to stay with her. In that case, the chances of surviving would have been significantly greater.

Unfortunately, this was after all only a dream. What he sought was not merely survival. This was something Yang Jinxia definitely couldn’t understand, and he would not tell her the real reason.

The dream world was his biggest secret, one he would never divulge to anyone. Even in the dreamscape, even knowing that the other person was just a replica of a real person, who would not retain any memory, he still would not speak.

Because he knew that sometimes the human heart was incredibly fragile, unable to refrain from spilling secrets even in a dream. Hence, one day in reality, he might also inadvertently tell others.

Originally, he had just wanted to find an attractive girl with a good demeanor to accompany him for these six months. He hadn’t expected to meet a woman like Yang Jinxia, which was somewhat awkward.

Now, it all depended on whether she was willing to lower her head.

In the end, if she didn’t, that would be it—they would go their separate ways. Fundamentally, he was still a law-abiding citizen, even in the dreamscape, he was not willing to cross certain lines.

As always, he knew how fragile the human heart was, indulging in unbridled actions in the dream could ultimately affect one’s personality, prompting them to gradually become uncontrollable in reality too.

Squeak—

Suddenly, the transport vehicle stopped.

Chen Xu finally snapped back to reality and looked up, his breath catching at the sight.

The ground was covered with densely packed bones, stretching over a hundred meters, reflecting a ghastly pale color under the headlights.

The headlights stretched out to a distant perimeter wall, casting a gigantic skull’s shadow. At a glance, it made his heart pound furiously.

“It’s… it’s a shadow.”

Yang Jinxia said with a trembling voice, turning the steering wheel frantically to angle the vehicle ninety degrees, planning to bypass this area paved with skeletons.

Chen Xu remained silent, recalling the road paved with bones they had just encountered, which seemed to all belong to animals.

Could it be that this refuge had once been besieged by a multitude of monsters?

Judging by the bones left behind, this event must have occurred a long time ago.

Then, why didn’t the people at the refuge clean up the corpses?

With such a massive number of bodies, the scene during decomposition must have been unimaginable.

A foreboding feeling arose within him; could it be that this refuge had been overrun by monsters?

If so, how had G5232 Refuge survived?

Various thoughts flickered through his mind, engulfing him in a mire of confusion.

Furthermore, the expected BOSS had not appeared and seemed unlikely to appear anymore.

This implied that the danger was most likely inside the refuge.

He glanced at Yang Jinxia, who was driving, and gripped the gun in his hand a bit tighter.

The vehicle picked up speed, reflecting her inner anxiety. The road beside them was rough, causing the vehicle to jolt violently.

A few minutes later, they drove over a dirt mound and the vehicle bounced dramatically again; when it landed, Chen Xu saw a smooth road.

Yang Jinxia steered the vehicle onto the road, turned it around, and finally saw a tightly closed large gate, with a cleared path leading to it.
