Chapter 830: Just a Little Frost! Welcome Back!

"This..."

"Why?"

On the Bingmian, Ji Huai's expression was blunt as he stared at the Leviathan breaking through the ice, his eyes filled with terror.

The timeline shifted ten minutes backward.

At that moment, Ji Huai saw the Spaceship not far away and hurriedly searched everywhere for Cai Yan's whereabouts.

He saw that Cai Yan's vision and hearing had fully recovered, and she was walking Blind Dogs around.

This tireless giant beast could not catch up with anyone, growing increasingly frantic.

While Cai Yan was strolling, she also searched for Ji Huai.

Their gazes met just in time, and they immediately rushed toward each other.

Just as the Ship Whistle sounded, the Three-Headed Blind Dogs were successively drawn to the bow.

"Lao Ji, are you okay?" Cai Yan asked.

Ji Huai noticed Cai Yan's eyes were bloodshot, with a dense web of capillaries.

Blood seeped from her ears, and the few drops that emerged instantly froze into frost.

It was easy to see that the Shock Bomb's Side Effect still persisted.

"I'm fine, let's return to the Spaceship first," Ji Huai shook his head.

The two traveled together; with Cai Yan guarding beside him, Ji Huai felt greatly reassured.

But the good scene did not last; just as he stepped onto a Bingmian, the ground suddenly trembled.

Ji Huai subconsciously thought it was a Forest Giant and urged Cai Yan to speed up.

But when he looked down, he found that within a ten‑meter radius the area was covered with black fragments.

In an instant, his Brain crashed.

Panic instantly seized his heart.

"Run!"

With a loud shout, Cai Yan sprinted wildly, clutching him at breakneck speed.

But it was already too late.

The Leviathan broke through the ice, and its sharp teeth instantly entangled Cai Yan.

In the critical moment, Cai Yan flung Ji Huai out in one motion.

He had long heard of this creature's terrifying nature.

Only the Divine cannot escape.

Rather than both of them falling here together, it is better to exert the last ounce of warmth.

"Lao Ji, carry forward the will of me and Zuo Hang."

"Make sure to succeed!"

"Don't let us wait in the sea for too long!"

After uttering the final sentence, the Leviathan directly Devoured them completely.

Immediately following was a mournful, harrowing scream.

Sight this scene, Ji Huai's heart was in immense pain, yet he had no recourse.

But soon, he recovered as usual.

Turning grief into motivation is paramount; mindlessly mourning merely wastes time.

When a person dies, there is still a chance to live.

But if Ji Huai dies…

Everything becomes void.

Thinking this, he did not look back and ran toward the Spaceship without hesitation.

When the Leviathan returned to the underground, Ji Huai finally arrived before the Spaceship.

He gasped heavily, clutching the stairs, when a voice suddenly came from above.

"Brother Ji, your spirit is so listless, who made you look this ragged?"

Ji Huai lifted his head, Vision Perception, and saw Su Yang extending a hand toward him with a Smile.

At this moment, although he wished to explain, he lacked the strength to open his mouth.

Zuo Hang and Cai Yan died in succession, and the plan was abruptly shattered.

If Qin Yu Zhou had not suddenly appeared at the Building Body entrance that day.

If Su Qi had not been lying in wait below from early on, biding the moment.

If that terribly vicious Leviathan had not been behind it…

He had plotted such a massive chessboard, yet now the whole board is lost.

Nothing remains.

Such a fate naturally deflates the heart.

But he has not lost completely; tomorrow still holds a chance.

It is also the final chance.

A signature smile appeared on Ji Huai's face, "Just a little frost, nothing worth mentioning."

"Then hurry up and get on the Spaceship, it's cold outside, come in and warm up," Su Yang said with concern.

"Alright."

Ji Huai nodded, grabbed Su Yang's hand and used it to pull himself up.

"All fine, how did you end up like this?" Su Yang brushed the remaining snow off him.

Ji Huai watched Su Yang's actions and expression, his mind filled with question marks.

Is he possessed?

Knowing Liu Pangzi's existence, one should be clear about his scheme.

Why is he behaving so attentively?

Just as he was pondering, Lu Zhiwei returned carrying Su Qi on her back.

"We're back!"

Su Yang glanced, nodded and said, "Thanks for your effort."

"Just a trivial matter, consider it training," Lu Zhiwei said, waving her hand nonchalantly.

She set Su Qi down.

The four gathered at the Chuancang entrance area, the atmosphere was eerie.

The four belong to different factions, after all that happened earlier, tension should be high.

Yet their faces were surprisingly harmonious.

Except for Su Qi, the other three wore smiles.

At first glance, it seemed like a happy, harmonious big family.

"Two of you, welcome back," Su Yang bowed slightly.

Su Qi gave Ji Huai a sideways glance, entered the Spaceship without a hint of emotion.

Ji Huai temporarily couldn't figure out what kind of medicine Su Yang was really selling.

But for now, the plan is to ensure one's own safety.

The four entered the Spaceship, and as usual, they tossed the harvested cargo onto the floor.

However this time Su Yang spoke up to stop them, "Throwing things around carelessly isn't a good habit; while you were out looking for cargo, I came back early and arranged all the goods neatly by category."

"Just place them according to my system."

"Don't we have to return to the Company tonight?"

"Sorting them makes selling easier."

Ji Huai and Su Qi paused, exchanged a glance, then each placed theirs according to his instruction.

Seeing this, Su Yang gave a knowing smile.

Lu Zhiwei placed one hand on her waist, elbowed Su Yang with the other, and asked, "Why are they so harmonious?"

"Now that they're in the Safe Zone, their faces have to be presentable," Su Yang explained.

"Su Qi can 'Mind Reading', your thoughts won't be seen, right?" Lu Zhiwei lowered her voice.

"That's fine; now I only have a rough framework, even if she knows it, it won't help," Su Yang said lightly.

"Then that's fine."

Lu Zhiwei nodded, then curiously asked, "By the way, why did you rescue Su Qi?"

Su Yang replied bluntly, "If only I and Ji Huai fought one-on-one, I don't have a guaranteed chance to win."

"But if we add a competitor for them, the space for action becomes redundant."

"Always remember, the enemy of my enemy is a friend."

"If I can be friends with Su Qi, I can be friends with Ji Huai."

"They each have their own goals, and each of those goals starts from me."

"Since their intentions are clear, from now on…"

"How this game is played, I decide!"

Lu Zhiwei looked at Su Yang's spirited profile, and her eyes lit up.

"Sounds like fun, may I join?"

"Of course, you're an indispensable part," Su Yang nodded slightly.

"Then what should I do?"

"For now, hold your position; I'll tell you later."

"Alright!"

Lu Zhiwei's playful spirit surged; she hadn't been this interested in something for a long time.

After playing so many Death Games, they never felt boring.

It's either killing or figuring out how to kill.

Too pure and direct, no fun at all.

But now it's different.

She and Su Yang watched a great drama from a god's-eye view.

And they manipulated the players from behind, guiding them toward a predetermined path.

This feeling is truly captivating.

If I could get on the field myself, that would be even better!
