Chapter 210 Infection Rate 53%
Lu Xingtong opened the door to the room, carrying food. Huang Guanjie was reading a comic book on the sofa, while Song Yan was still snuggled in bed, asleep.
"Guanjie, how is Song Yan?" Lu Xingtong asked softly, afraid of waking Song Yan.
"It's okay, I've been sleeping all morning." Huang Guanjie put down his comic book and wolfed down his food.
Huang Guanjie was initially hesitant to stay with Song Yan, fearing he might catch the virus. However, after discovering that he hadn't been infected at all the previous night, he relaxed and read comic books in the same room without any worries.
"Then I'll wake him up." Lu Xingtong breathed a sigh of relief, walked to the bedside and called out, "Song Yan, get up and eat."
Even in his sleep, the boy on the bed was frowning in discomfort, his lips dry and chapped.
Seeing that she couldn't wake him up, Lu Xingtong stepped forward and nudged him, and Song Yan finally opened his eyes groggily.
"Xing Tong?" Song Yan only managed to utter two sounds before realizing his voice was terribly hoarse, good enough to be used for voice acting as "Bao Juan".
Huang Guanjie burst out laughing: "You've got the flu?"
Lu Xingtong glared at Huang Guanjie, then quickly handed Song Yan a glass of water, her face showing concern: "Song Yan, how high is your infection level?"
Song Yan reached out from under the covers to take the water glass, and Lu Xingtong suddenly screamed.
"Ah! Song Yan, your hand!"
Song Yan belatedly realized what was happening, looked down, and was completely dumbfounded.
Song Yan's family was not as well-off as Lin Ruian's or Huang Guanjie's, but it was still much better than that of ordinary families, and they had a nanny.
The originally fair and tender hands gradually turned into an eerie light blue color from the wrist to the fingertips. They were not only rough and covered with dense wrinkles, but thin light blue films even grew between the fingers!
Song Yan's fingertips grew considerably overnight, with thicker plates that were as hard as animal claws!
Hearing Lu Xingtong's scream, Huang Guanjie jumped up from the sofa and ran over. He took one look and was so frightened that he took three steps back: "Why have your hands turned into duck feet?"
Seeing Song Yan's extremely bad expression, Huang Guanjie swallowed and comforted him, "It's pretty cool."
Lu Xingtong: "Song Yan, quickly check your infection level!"
Reminded, Song Yan frantically grabbed his phone, only to find his nails were too long to touch the screen. Frustrated, tears welled in his eyes. He threw the phone down and grabbed Lu Xingtong, crying, "Xingtong, save me! I don't want to die!"
Song Yan's claws were too sharp, and in his anxiety, he couldn't control his strength at all, causing Lu Xingtong to scream in pain.
"I'm sorry! Xingtong, I didn't mean to!" Song Yan's rationality was pulled back by Lu Xingtong's scream, and he apologized in a panic.
Huang Guanjie rolled up Lu Xingtong's sleeve, revealing three bloody welts on her snow-white arm. He glared angrily at Song Yan: "Xingtong took care of her for a whole day and night, and you dare to hurt her!"
"Guanjie, don't blame Song Yan! He didn't do it on purpose!" Lu Xingtong endured the pain and picked up the phone that Song Yan had thrown away.
The infection rate was 22% at 6 pm last night and 36% at 8 am this morning. However, in just 4 hours this morning, Song Yan's infection rate has skyrocketed to a staggering 53%!
We are only one-third away from meeting 80% of the evacuation requirements!
"How could it be so fast!" Huang Guanjie's heart was filled with shock. They only needed to survive tonight to be able to evacuate, but given Song Yan's current rate of mutation, he definitely wouldn't be able to make it to the evacuation!
Lu Xingtong picked up her phone to call Ji Xingyi, but Huang Guanjie stopped her.
Huang Guanjie: "Xingtong, haven't you realized yet? He never intended to help us! What's the point of calling him!"
Lu Xingtong bit her lip: "But we have no other choice. Are we just going to watch Song Yan..."
"Young Master Huang! Save me! Xing Tong, please don't abandon me!" Song Yan cried out in tears, his mental defenses completely broken.
Huang Guanjie: "Let's go find clues! Didn't they say that clues to clearing the game are hidden in the dungeon storyline? Let's go find clues!"
Lu Xingtong lowered her head and thought for a moment before nodding: "Alright, let's go and see if we can find any medicine. If all else fails, I'll call Brother Ji."
After giving Song Yan some instructions, Huang Guanjie left the room with Lu Xingtong. They took the elevator, not knowing where they were going, so Huang Guanjie randomly pressed the button for the first floor.
Just then, a male waiter wearing a red name tag entered the elevator from the 8th floor.
There were only the three of them in the elevator.
Huang Guanjie suddenly remembered that Lu Xingtong's arm injury was quite serious and needed to be treated. So he asked the male attendant wearing a red name tag in the elevator, "Hello, my companion is injured. Where on the cruise ship can I get some medicine to treat her?"
The male waiter glanced at Lu Xingtong's bloodstained arm and smiled, "Don't worry, both passengers, please follow me."
Huang Guanjie nodded, and then saw the male attendant reach out to the elevator buttons, press the "8" button three times, the star button, and finally the first floor.
For some reason, Lu Xingtong felt uneasy. They had reached the second floor, and the next floor was the first floor. Lu Xingtong wanted to escape from the elevator, but she suddenly realized that the elevator was not open on the first floor!
Immediately afterwards, the elevator display panel showed the floor indicator "-1"!
"Ding!" The elevator doors opened!
The first thing you see is a very long corridor with dim lighting. There is an expensive red carpet on the floor in front of the elevator, and an oil painting hangs on the wall at the end of the carpet.
The oil painting depicts a mermaid from a fairy tale, lying on a rock in the sea with red hair and lips, her strange blue fish tail splashing water as she laps the surface.
Neither Huang Guanjie nor Lu Xingtong dared to speak or move. They both knew that Song Yanshi had gone to the basement level and that's why he was in this terrible state; neither of them dared to step out of the elevator.
The waiter grinned at the two pale-faced men, revealing a set of gleaming white shark teeth: "Welcome to the basement, passengers."
Huang Guanjie was right about one thing: Ji Xingyi had no way to delay or cure Song Yan's symptoms.
Some people spent the afternoon cuddling and then slept until evening. Their phones showed 8 PM. Jiang Lin, lying in bed, glanced at Ji Xingyi. Ji Xingyi immediately understood and helped the boy get dressed and tidied up.
Just as the two were packing their things and heading to the 6th-floor casino, news finally came from Wang Liang. He had passed the 4th checkpoint and made it to the 5th.
"You passed one hurdle in just one afternoon. If you can't handle it, find someone else," Jiang Lin mocked mercilessly.
"Brother, give me some face!" Wang Liang glanced at Zhao Ruoxi, who was staring longingly at the game console, chuckled twice, and quickly explained the game information he had just obtained.
In the ending of level 4 of "Adventures in the Siren Kingdom," a special character appears. Wang Liang, controlling a little man, rescues a mermaid imprisoned by a siren from the dungeon.
