Chapter 235 Isn't it just green tea?
"But if we climb up from here, what if the elevator suddenly comes down and crushes us?" Lu Xingtong looked at the dark entrance and dared not go in.
Jiang Lin's gaze swept over Lu Xingtong, and her pale lips parted slightly: "That depends on Jiang Yu."
"Brother Jiang?"
Lu Xiaoxiao exclaimed in surprise, and the next second a muffled shout came from the elevator shaft.
Jiang Yu: "Xiao Xiao!"
Ji Ran: "Jiang Lin!"
Looking inside, Lu Xiaoxiao saw a dazzling light shining from the upper passage of the elevator shaft.
"Come on up!" Jiang Yu, standing on the 5th floor, pried open the elevator door, popped his head out, and shouted loudly down. Ji Ran, afraid they wouldn't hear him, vigorously shook the flashlight in his hand.
Lu Xiaoxiao couldn't believe it; could Jiang Lin really predict Jiang Yu's actions?
Ji Xingyi turned his head to look behind him, then squeezed past Lu Xiaoxiao and Lu Xingtong while carrying Jiang Lin and jumped into the elevator shaft. He stepped on the wall and easily jumped up to the 5th floor with Jiang Lin.
Jiang Yu quickly took three steps back, making way for him, and looked at the handsome young man in front of him with a probing gaze. From the second basement level to the fifth floor, there was at least a 20-meter height. How could Ji Xingyi have jumped up like that in just a few moves? Jiang Yu was even more curious about what kind of prop Ji Xingyi had used.
"No way? She just climbed up like that?" Lu Xiaoxiao was shocked. She only had one arm, they wouldn't let her climb up by herself, would they?
"Brother Ji won't abandon us."
As soon as Lu Xingtong finished speaking, the two of them were dragged into the elevator shaft by the bloody tentacles that emerged from it!
Lu Xiaoxiao and Lu Xingtong screamed in unison. Like a roller coaster, they were dragged to the 5th floor by Ji Xingyi and thrown to the ground.
"Let's go first!" Jiang Yu carried Lu Xiaoxiao on his back, while Ji Ran helped Lu Xingtong up beside him.
Ji Xing nodded, picked up Jiang Lin, and followed Jiang Yu up the stairs to the 11th floor.
"After you left, the infection on the ship worsened, and a riot broke out. Red signs blocked access to floors 1 through 4. Fortunately, there were still elevator shafts." Ji Ran briefly explained what had happened.
"Brother Jiang, how did you know?" Lu Xiaoxiao asked curiously.
"You forgot about the mother-daughter mirror you're wearing?" Jiang Yu smiled and glanced at Jiang Lin. "That kid is cunning. Why do you think he'd bring you along?"
Jiang Lin's "kindness" in saving Lu Xiaoxiao stemmed from the fact that Jiang Yu was definitely spying on them through the mother mirror. Although the mother and daughter mirrors couldn't communicate, Jiang Yu understood the moment Jiang Lin mentioned leaving through the elevator that Jiang Lin needed his "help."
“You’re a hostage. Even if you don’t beg him, he’ll still take you with him!” Jiang Yu sighed. Lu Xiaoxiao was still too naive.
Lu Xiaoxiao was startled and stole a glance at the boy in Ji Xingyi's arms.
Ji Xingyi first took Jiang Lin back to their room on the 11th floor and placed the boy on the bed to check on Jiang Lin's injuries. Wang Liang and Zhao Ruoxi also rushed over immediately after receiving the news. The rooms on the ship were not large to begin with, and with so many people, it became noisy and chattering.
When Ji Xingyi saw Jiang Lin frowning at the noise, he chased everyone away and asked Zhao Ruoxi to take care of Lu Xingtong before closing the door.
"Brother Ji, I'm fine. Please take good care of Jiang Lin." Lu Xingtong followed Zhao Ruoxi away reluctantly.
Jiang Lin was injured, but he wasn't deaf. Why did every word that came out of Lu Xingtong's mouth sound so jarring?
Trying to outsmart him? A cold smile crept across Jiang Lin's lips. Without a second thought, he pressed his fingertips hard against the wound on his abdomen, and blood gushed out like a fountain.
When Ji Xing returned, he saw that the bed sheet was stained with a large amount of blood. His face immediately turned pale, and he carefully examined Jiang Lin's wound.
There was a three-centimeter-sized cut on his side, and it looked terrible. Ji Xingyi didn't know if any internal organs had been damaged.
Jiang Lin's eyes flickered slightly. So what if she's a green tea bitch? Anyone can do that. With a pale face, she feigned weakness and asked, "I'm fine. How high is Lu Xingtong's infection level? Can she be evacuated?"
Ji Xingyi didn't reply, but pulled the person into her arms and asked instead, "Does it hurt a lot?"
Jiang Lin shook his head slightly: "Don't worry, I will find a way to cure Lu Xingtong. As long as the infection level decreases, she can still be evacuated."
Ji Xingyi was used to Jiang Lin's domineering manner, but now, seeing the boy in her arms looking like a flower battered by wind and rain, she felt extremely distressed.
"Never mind her." Ji Xingyi kissed Jiang Lin's forehead, feeling even more guilty.
Just then, there was a knock on the door. Ji Xingyi got up and opened it. It was Jiang Yu, who was holding gauze and alcohol that he had found somewhere.
"Need any help?" Jiang Yu called out with a smile into the house, "Little cousin?"
After thinking for a moment, Ji Xingyi decided to let Jiang Yu in.
Jiang Yu examined Jiang Lin's wound: "It's just a superficial injury..."
Jiang Yu was glared at by Jiang Lin halfway through his sentence. Perhaps it was because they both had the surname "Jiang," but Jiang Yu actually understood what Jiang Lin meant. He changed the subject and said, "Although it's just a superficial wound, we don't know how long we'll be at sea. The wound could easily worsen in this environment."
Jiang Lin gave Jiang Yu a look that said, "You're smart to know what's good for you."
Jiang Yu smiled and handed the alcohol to Ji Xingyi: "You take care of it for him. We'll talk later."
After Jiang Yu left, Ji Xingyi cleaned and bandaged Jiang Lin's wound with alcohol. Just as she finished bandaging it, there was another knock at the door. This time it was Lu Xingtong.
Ji Xingyi immediately lost patience with Lu Xingtong.
Lu Xingtong also noticed that Ji Xingyi was in a bad mood, and shrank her shoulders in fear, saying, "Brother Ji, I found Song Yan's body in the room!"
Ji Xingyi looked surprised. Before he and Jiang Lin went underground, Song Yan was still alive.
“Sister Zhao said he was murdered.” Lu Xingtong glanced cautiously into the room and added, “The person who killed him was very skilled; one stab was enough to kill Song Yan.”
Ji Xingyi's pupils contracted sharply as she thought of Jiang Lin, instinctively defending him: "The moment Song Yan broke the rules, it was unlikely he'd leave alive. Don't overthink it; things will get even more dangerous."
Lu Xingtong nodded and pleaded softly, "Brother Ji, I'm scared. Can I stay with you... with you guys?"
“It’s not convenient for the two of us men. You should go with Zhao Ruoxi; she’s trustworthy.” Ji Xingyi finished speaking and prepared to close the door, but was interrupted by Lu Xingtong.
The girl bit her red lips, tears falling like pearls: "Brother Ji, you'll protect me, right? You said you'd help me clear the game, right?"
Ji Xingyi frowned. Because of Lin Rui'an, he was willing to help Lu Xingtong. But had he made any promises from beginning to end?
Seeing Lu Xingtong crying with tears streaming down her face, Ji Xingyi didn't say anything too harsh: "This dungeon is very difficult, and I'm not entirely confident that I can clear it. Be careful."
With a "bang," the girl was shut out of the door.
Lu Xingtong stood at the door for a few seconds before raising her hand to wipe away her tears. The fragile emotion vanished as her fingertips brushed her cheek, revealing a thoughtful expression.
