Chapter 269 - Fine, I’ll Continue Running Then (2/2)

He wrote: Wait for me! I’m nearby. I’ll be there soon!

She had to admit that the text calmed her nerves a little. It seemed that the situation was a lot better than she expected. w.a.n.g Yu wasn’t the team’s main fighter, but he was second only to Yu Yangzi. The only problem was that he lived the furthest from the school. He was the one that Shen Xixi mentioned would take at least an hour and a half to get there. Nevertheless, he would have to be her best bet, for the time being, at least.

Shen Xixi shook her head in an attempt to clear her mind. Receiving w.a.n.g Yu’s text set her thoughts in motion again. She wasn’t merely thinking about pa.s.sively running for her life but hoped that she would be able to gather more useful information to deal with the creature later on. As she was thinking about her next strategy, the hill on the artificial lake behind her began to melt quietly.

This wasn’t Shen Xixi’s fault. Because that thing had been traveling through concrete walls, she had deliberately avoided the buildings on campus. It didn’t cross her mind that the creature could also use the mock rock formation.

By the time Shen Xixi noticed the black liquid moving toward her, it was too late to react. Thank goodness, Ma Wei’s imposter arrived just at the nick of time. As she searched for Shen Xixi, she had stopped to tear off a piece of clay from her pocket and began molding it. It wasn’t until two minutes ago that she succeeded. Sprinting to the artificial lake, she threw it at the creature when she saw it.

It landed between Shen Xixi and the pool of black liquid, and a wall was instantly erected.

Shen Xixi was terrified. She thought that Ma Wei’s imposter must have had a grudge against her and was about to use the creature to get rid of her. But a minute later, she saw that the wall was actually blocking the creature from reaching her.

“What are you still doing there? Run!” shouted Ma Wei’s imposter. “My plasticine wall won’t hold for long!”

Shen Xixi didn’t even look back as she started running. She turned to the girl who had just saved her and asked, “You’re a player too?”

“I suppose so,” Ma Wei’s imposter answered as she huffed. She hated working out the most. Without Zhang Heng around, her human mule was gone, and she was forced to buck up and run alongside Shen Xixi. But as soon as she started, she stopped, looking very excited. “Oh, how silly of me! Why am I running? That thing will only attack you, right?”

Shen Xixi’s answer, however, only destroyed her hope. “My game item also has a time limit. Its effect can only last for fifteen minutes. That’s less than two minutes from now.”

When Ma Wei’s imposter heard this, she wanted to cry. “Fine! i’ll continue running then.”
