Chapter 988: Chapter 468: Haunted Apartment, Test Begins_3

"I’m gonna die!"

"I’m gonna die!"

Perched on Sea King Lin’s shoulder, a golden-crowned parrot named Red Medicine was screaming at the top of its lungs.

"Mercy!"

"Mercy!"

Lin Baici, frantic, grabbed the parrot’s beak and threw it away.

Boom! Boom!

Gun smoke filled the air, drifting over with the sea breeze, entering the nostrils, and bringing out choking coughs.

The warship had been sunk.

Sea King Lin fell into the water; he wanted to dive and swim away, but the navy commander, named Gu Qingqiu, shot him in the chest with a Fire God Gun.

Glug-glug-glug!

Sea King Lin sank toward the seabed, bubbles streaming from his mouth.

"Am I going to die?"

An immense and intense sense of suffocation engulfed him like the Death God’s noose tightening around his neck.

"So, this is what death feels like?"

Sea King Lin gradually stopped struggling.

[If you don’t swim up now, you’re really going to drown!]

An octopus swam over, its tentacles full of suckers, and wrapped around Lin Baici, pulling him towards the surface.

[With so many Gods alive and kicking, and uneaten, it’d be a huge loss to die now!]

As they neared the surface, the big octopus flung its tentacles.

Splash!

Like a cannonball, Lin Baici shot up, breaking through the water’s surface and emerging into the air.

Whoosh!

Fresh air rushed into his mouth and nose.

Sea King Lin immediately opened his mouth and greedily breathed in.

"I don’t want to die, not even in my dreams. I want to fight and slay mightily!"

Sea King Lin looked towards the flagship, but suddenly everything in front of him shattered like broken glass.

Whoosh!

In bed, Lin Baici suddenly sat upright.

The dormitory was not quiet; Du Ke, muffling himself with a blanket, was moving restlessly, emitting muffled, oppressed breathing sounds.

Something’s wrong!

Lin Baici’s pupils shrank sharply; he thought he had had a nightmare but the suffocating feeling hadn’t disappeared, as if an invisible ghost hand was tightly gripping his throat.

"Du Ke!"

Lin Baici tried to shout for his roommate, but although his mouth opened, no sound came out.

Damn!

It was rule pollution!

But what was the source?

A test? Radiation pollution from Luoyang Seven Towns? Or was someone attacking him?

Lin Baici got out of bed; due to the reduced oxygen intake, he felt dizzy and weak in the limbs, but he forced himself to rush to Du Ke’s bedside.

"Get up!"

Lin Baici still couldn’t make a sound, but he clenched his fists and pounded on Du Ke.

Bang! Bang!

Swish!

Du Ke threw off the blanket and sat up straight, his mouth wide open as if he wanted to scream, but no sound came out; he turned his head to look at Lin Baici.

In his eyes, there was panic, confusion, and a trace of gratitude.

Without Lin Baici, would I have perished in my sleep?

Du Ke, a qualified Examiner, also realized the situation in the moment he became lucid.

Damn it!

Contaminated.

Who’s behind this?

Once I find out, I’ll kill the little bastard!

But the immediate priority was to make an escape!

Since they couldn’t speak, Du Ke pointed at the door and hurriedly got out of bed, his steps staggering due to lack of oxygen.

This suffocation was unbearable.

Du Ke rushed to the door and grabbed the doorknob.

Creak!

Fortunately, the door opened; he wasn’t trapped in the room. He rushed out but only took a few steps before realizing something was off.

No footsteps behind him!

Du Ke looked back and saw Lin Baici hadn’t come out!

What’s going on?

Du Ke thought for a moment, then went back and leaned on the doorframe to look around.

Lin Baici had opened the window; the winter breeze brought in a chill, refreshing him, but he still couldn’t breathe.

Bang bang!

Du Ke knocked twice on the door, the meaning was clear, signaling Lin Baici to hurry up.

Lin Baici grabbed his backpack and came out.

The two leaned against the wall and moved quickly. As they passed the next room, Lin Baici stopped and punched the door lock.

Bang!

The lock broke.

Lin Baici pushed open the door.

On the beds, two people were thrashing about, now trapped in a nightmare, suffering from suffocation.

It seemed this contamination wasn’t targeting just him; the affected area was large.

Lin Baici didn’t go in to rescue them, but staggered forward – he had to find Xia Hongyao.

When he got to the staircase, Du Ke went downstairs but discovered Lin Baici was going up, which startled him; he wanted to call out, but no sound came from his mouth.

Lin Baici pointed downstairs, signaling Du Ke to escape the dormitory building quickly.

Du Ke didn’t know if he understood, but he watched Lin Baici climb the stairs, his expression wavering, then he gritted his teeth and followed him upstairs.

He knew Lin Baici was going to save Xia Hongyao.

It wouldn’t be right to run off alone; it would lack human decency.

Xia Hongyao was in dorm 412, over thirty meters from the staircase; Lin Baici hadn’t reached it when he heard footsteps behind him.

He was speechless.

Why are you following?

Lin Baici turned back, locking eyes with Du Ke, then pointed downstairs again.

Du Ke shook his head with a steadfast look that said he wouldn’t leave him behind.

Lin Baici was totally numb.

With every breath, only a little bit of oxygen could be drawn in. If this continued, he’d die, so there wasn’t any time to lose. Lin Baici wanted Du Ke to try escaping the dormitory building to see if he could leave the rule pollution area. If that didn’t work, they’d need to think of something else right away.

Du Ke clenched his right fist, looked at Lin Baici, and pounded his chest forcefully.
