Infinite Flow: Becoming a God in a Nightmare Game

Chapter 129 The End

The sound of dripping water came from afar, and Jiang Qi and his group quickened their pace and moved towards the source of the sound.

After wandering around for a while, they found themselves standing above a pool of water.

"Is this the source of Peach Blossom Stream?"

"Probably, maybe, perhaps..."

"So, we still can't escape?"

This pool doesn't look very deep; I just don't know if I can swim out of here.

Jiang Qi squatted down, his indifferent face reflected in the water.

His eyes were long and narrow, slightly upturned, and the red mole under his eye was as red as blood.

Seemingly nonchalant, but actually composed.

His thin lips parted slightly, "Can you all swim?"

"I can."

Lin Wanchu and Lu Xue answered in unison.

Fortunately, no one was unable to swim, which pleased Jiang Qi.

"That's fine. You guys go first, I'll cover you from behind."

"Just go with the flow and don't do anything unnecessary."

Everyone nodded solemnly, but then a sudden sound came from behind them, and they turned around to look warily.

The person who arrived was tall and had long legs. He walked in with a steady gait, unhurried and composed.

It is Lu Zhi.

If they're one of our own, there's no need to be on guard.

Lin Wanchu led Lu Xue into the stream first. After a few ripples, there was no more movement.

Next came Xu Cangsheng and Chi Miaomiao. After making full preparations, they jumped down without hesitation.

After Mo Qing sank into the water, Mo Yuan stood in the shadows, his black pupils flickering and shimmering.

After staring at Jiang Qi for a long time, Mo Yuan was warned by Lu Zhi's eyes before jumping into the water.

"Lu Zhi, are you ready?"

"I'm ready, brother. When are we going to blow up this village?"

"Now."

Lu Zhi held the remote control, intending to detonate the bomb.

Suddenly, a warm and strong hand covered his fingers.

Jiang Qi's fingertips were pressed tightly against his knuckles, as if he could feel the rhythm of his heartbeat.

Their eyes met, but they didn't speak; they only communicated through their gazes.

Jiang Qi's fingers were pressed tightly against Lu Zhi's, fitting together perfectly.

Then, they pressed the remote control together.

Meanwhile, in the Miao village, a light drizzle began to fall again.

The light rain fell silently on the eaves, gently forming a curtain of rain, which gradually grew heavier, becoming fierce, accompanied by lightning and thunder.

A crisp electronic beep sounded in the air.

Immediately afterwards, the entire ground began to tremble violently.

The tremor spread from the soles of my feet throughout my body. The moment the bomb exploded, the light was blinding and the heat was intense.

The shockwave, like an invisible behemoth, tore through the surrounding air, and the deafening roar temporarily deafened people.

Flames, smoke, and debris danced in the air in the Miao village, creating an apocalyptic scene.

At the moment of the explosion, Jiang Qi, holding Lu Zhi's hand, jumped into Peach Blossom Creek without hesitation.

Their movements were almost synchronized, swift and fluid.

The river water was cold and clear. The two of them quickly descended with the current, the water gurgling in their ears.

Meanwhile, the rain was pouring down, as if washing away the dust and sins that the Miao village had carried over the years.

The heavy rain extinguished the last remaining sparks of fire, leaving only a pile of black ashes in the Miao Gu Village.

After a long and winding journey, Jiang Qi and Lu Zhi finally reached their destination with the river.

However, the destination turned out to be the same cave entrance that the players had entered at the beginning.

After going through hardships, it seems we've returned to the starting point, but everything is not quite the same.

Outside the cave entrance, Lin Wanchu, Lu Xue, and Chi Miaomiao were already waiting by the river.

The three figures stood out prominently against the rain.

Their clothes were soaked by the rain, and they looked drenched, but their expressions were full of concern and surprise.

Lin Wanchu quickly stepped forward and reached out her hands to help Jiang Qi and Lu Zhi.

Jiang Qi was a little tired from the long rafting trip. He stood up unsteadily, almost falling into the water.

Lu Zhi reached out from behind and steadily supported him.

Unlike his own cold hands, his hands were warm and strong, giving Jiang Qi a long-lost sense of security.

"We escaped."

Jiang Qi's voice was slightly hoarse, and his eyes softened slightly.

Mo Yuan also stood by the river, gazing silently at the Miao Gu Village, now reduced to ruins.

Her slightly upturned face was damp, it was hard to tell whether it was from rain or tears.

At this moment, although the players were filled with uncertainty, they also felt an indescribable sense of relief.

But why is the system announcement so late? Are they going to have to start all over again?

The rain subsided, but Lu Xue was still determined to take Mo Yuan away.

"Mo Yuan, look, we've escaped successfully."

"Would you like to come with us?"

Xu Cangsheng sighed, "Now that this matter is settled, there is no need for the Mountain God and the Falling Flower Cave Maiden to exist anymore."

"You can leave Peach Blossom Village and go anywhere else to live your own life."

She couldn't help but pat Mo Yuan's head, her face full of kindness: "Poor child, the outside world is still vast. Just escape from Peach Blossom Village, don't be too sad."

Mo Yuan didn't speak, and everyone assumed she was just hesitating.

Only Jiang Qi knew that she could no longer leave, and even if she left Peach Blossom Village, the suffering she would endure would be like a leech clinging to her bone.

Mo Yuan smiled slightly, his voice devoid of emotion, which made everyone present pause in surprise.

"I'm just a regular NPC, I can't get out..."

"NPCs are meant to stay and survive the dungeon from beginning to end, so I have no right to leave."

"Thank you for your kindness, you should leave now."

The system voice suddenly rang out, carrying a hint of coldness.

[WARNING! WARNING! The NPCs in the dungeon have awakened their own consciousness and are about to be eliminated!]

She looked up at the sky, then looked away from Mo Qing, her eyes dimming, filled with sadness and longing.

Mo Qing, remember to hide well and never be discovered.

Eyes bid Mo Qing a final farewell.

By this time, it was already broad daylight.

Suddenly, a deafening roar came from the highest valley of the Miao Gu Village.

thumping--

The floodwaters surged down from upstream like a giant beast, leaving devastation in their wake.

The entire village was razed to the ground in the blink of an eye.

Mo Yuan took a step back, mustered his courage, and leaped forward.

Below the valley, the river rushed, and Mo Yuan knew that her family was there to welcome her.

I only hope that in the underworld, I can meet my grandmother and sister, and that they won't blame me.

Thus, no one survived in Peach Blossom Village, and the Flower Cave Maiden was no more.

The accident happened so suddenly that Mo Qing's tears rolled down her cheeks silently.

A deathly silence spread.

As the dust settles, they will face a new situation, for better or for worse, there is no going back.

[WARNING! WARNING! The instance is about to collapse. Players will be forcibly kicked out of the instance in one minute.]

[Ding dong, congratulations to players Jiang Qi, Lu Zhi, Lin Wanchu... for clearing the dungeon]

[Congratulations to player Jiang Qi for achieving the open-end ending. System settlement in progress...]

[The instance world is about to collapse. NPCs have been eliminated. Goodbye!]
