Chapter 203 Plotting a Counterattack
The Noah's voyage is five days and four nights. The evacuation point for Lu Xingtong and the other two will open 48 hours after the cruise ship departs, which will shorten the time by more than half.
The most crucial point is the word "infection level" mentioned in the evacuation conditions!
Jiang Lin remembered the cruise app on his phone and immediately looked at the three of them: "Take out your phones!"
"Wait, tell us how to pass the level first!" Huang Guanjie didn't quite trust Jiang Lin and his companion, but before he could finish speaking, the other two had already pulled out their phones. Huang Guanjie was so angry that his chest ached.
Jiang Lin and Ji Xingyi each picked up a phone to check. A new "Health" option had appeared in the menus of all three apps. Ji Xingyi's phone, which held Lu Xingtong's, displayed "Health." However, Jiang Lin's phone, held by Song Yan, showed "Infection Rate 22%."
Jiang Lin turned the phone over and showed it to Song Yan.
"What happened? How did I get infected?!" Song Yan was terrified, his face turning deathly pale. He scratched his head in disbelief, "I didn't do anything!"
"Song Yan, you're infected? Why didn't you say so sooner!" Huang Guanjie jumped up from the sofa: "Don't come any closer! Will you infect us?"
"I don't know! I really don't know!" Song Yan cried out in despair, pleading with Ji Xingyi for help: "Brother Ji, for Lin Rui'an's sake, please save me, I don't want to die!"
Lu Xingtong suddenly realized, and her face instantly turned ugly: "Song Yan, did you violate the three rules the system mentioned?"
"Rules?" Jiang Lin looked at Ji Xingyi.
Ji Xingyi: "Newbie perks?"
"Which three rules?" Jiang Lin asked immediately.
Seeing that things were not going well, Lu Xingtong dared not hide anything and told the whole story.
[Rule 1: Some areas on the cruise ship have restricted opening hours. Please do not enter these areas outside of opening hours to avoid unnecessary trouble.]
[Rule 2: Water is scarce on the cruise ship. If you feel thirsty, you can go to the restaurant on level 5, where the water is the cleanest.]
[Rule 3: When you hear the siren's song, hide quickly and don't let them find you.]
“You violated rule number 1. The restaurant on the 10th floor opens at 10:30. You arrived early.” Ji Xingyi looked at Song Yan with pity in his eyes.
"I didn't know. I thought following the NPCs would be safe," Song Yan explained in a panic, but no amount of explanation could undo the mistake he had already made.
“There’s still a chance. It’s only at 22%. As long as you hold on until the evacuation point opens, you’ll be back to reality.” Jiang Lin smiled and patted the boy on the shoulder. “It’ll only take about 40 hours!”
Song Yan deflated instantly, like a punctured balloon: "There are still 40 hours left..."
Lu Xingtong pursed her lips and comforted him, "Song Yan, just stay in the room and don't go out. Huang Guanjie and I will bring you food and drinks. Just stay inside and wait until the evacuation point opens!"
Jiang Lin scoffed inwardly at these words. What was the difference between hiding inside and waiting to die? But he was too lazy to explain; he had no intention of mentoring any newcomers.
After receiving the information, Jiang Lin and Ji Xingyi prepared to leave, and Lu Xingtong quickly caught up with them.
"Brother Ji, can I come with you?" Lu Xingtong asked, her eyes brimming with tears, as she tugged at Ji Xingyi's sleeve.
“Our dungeon is extremely difficult. If you come with me, you will die!” Ji Xingyi replied seriously, and then left with Jiang Lin.
Jiang Lin turned his head and glanced at the girl still standing at the door, a barely perceptible chill appearing on his lips.
After returning to her room on the 12th floor, Ji Xingyi had just taken off her coat when the boy behind her hugged her from behind.
"Brother Ji, can I kiss you?" Jiang Lin asked, mischievously mimicking Lu Xingtong's voice.
Upon hearing this, Ji Xing was startled and turned around to hug Jiang Lin's waist and kiss her: "She's Lin Rui'an's girlfriend, don't overthink it."
Jiang Lin was not satisfied with this answer. He pressed the person down on the bed, his eyes darkening slightly: "You two are very familiar with each other!"
"We're not close. We only met once when I went back to the old house last time," Ji Xingyi honestly explained how he met Lu Xingtong.
"Just this once?" Jiang Lin raised his head slightly, his eyes mocking. "Neither Zhao Ruoxi nor Wang Liang recognized you when you were 18. You've only met her once, so how could she recognize you?"
"I do not know."
Jiang Lin's ambiguous smile made Ji Xingyi inexplicably nervous: "It might be a coincidence."
He really didn't know how Lu Xingtong recognized him. Before their meeting at the old house, Ji Xingyi had no recollection of Lu Xingtong.
The boy was really thin. Jiang Lin grabbed his shoulder with one hand and played with the long ends of the boy's hair by his ear with the other.
"Could it be that she has a crush on you, which is why she became Lin Rui'an's girlfriend?" Jiang Lin joked.
“Linlin, she’s just a child.” Ji Xingyi said with a helpless expression.
Although their bodies reverted to those of high school students, their souls remained those of mature individuals.
Even if Ji Xingyi wasn't with Jiang Lin, she would never lay a hand on a child who is still in school. Their mindsets are simply not on the same level.
“How can you call him a child? According to Chinese law, Lu Xingtong already has full civil capacity, and in two more years, she will reach the legal marriage age in China.” Jiang Lin had a penchant for nitpicking and kept pressuring the boyish-looking Ji Xingyi.
"Linlin wants to get married? We can register abroad." Ji Xingyi knew that Jiang Lin was jealous again, so he let Jiang Lin kiss him all he wanted.
Jiang Lin liked being held by 21-year-old Ji Xingyi, but looking at the handsome young man in front of him, his mind felt like it was filled with lava, and his heart was bubbling with desire. He especially wanted to press the man down on the bed.
I originally wanted to take it slow, but now I can't stand it at all!
When Jiang Lin was being intimate with someone, he would quietly unbutton her shirt from bottom to top, taking advantage of the moment when no one was looking to repeatedly invade her warm skin.
"Linlin?" Ji Xing was half-lying on the bed when she suddenly felt cold fingertips probing down her spine from her back, heading towards her private parts. Startled, she straightened up, pulled the person away, and asked warily, "Linlin, what are you doing?"
Jiang Lin licked his lips, which had become dry at some point: "Fuck you!"
Ji Xingyi's forehead instantly broke out in a sweat. No wonder he always felt that Jiang Lin's eyes were strange; it turned out that he was plotting a counterattack.
"Linlin, calm down." Ji Xingyi nervously grabbed Jiang Lin's hands: "You can't do it, let me do it."
Jiang Lin scoffed, "You've slept with me so many times, do you think I don't know how? Do you think I'm stupid?"
Never seen a pig run, but never eaten pork?
Seeing that Jiang Lin's eyes were becoming increasingly terrifying, Ji Xing quickly pulled her into his arms, restrained her hands, kissed the corner of Jiang Lin's mouth, and persuaded her, "Linlin, it will be tiring up there. Don't you hate being tired the most?"
Jiang Lin raised an eyebrow: "My stamina isn't that bad!"
Are you kidding me? He's not human, how could he be exhausted from being the dominant one?
