The Host Has Fallen for the Second Female Lead Again - Chapter 48

After looking at the time, Ji Mingxiao immediately called some people to go find Xu Shu and Shao Yu.

The two of them sat there, looking at Ji Mingxiao, a little speechless.

“Miss Lin, could you please look at the time?”

“8:30.”

“Exactly, it’s only 8:30.” Shao Yu yawned. “This is still sleeping time, you know?”

“I have something I want to ask you.”

“You could have sent us a message on your personal computer.”

“I’m not too confident in your security system.” Ji Mingxiao tapped the table. “I just want to ask where the forbidden zone in Area F541 is. I suspect our other companions are over there.”

Shao Yu and Xu Shu froze for a moment, exchanged glances, and looked at Ji Mingxiao with a frown.

“The forbidden zone? That place…” Shao Yu rubbed her chin. “You can’t go there.”

“Is there a problem?”

“We can’t get close to that area.” Shao Yu took out a paper map and drew a circle. “This place is the forbidden zone. It takes us half a day to get there in a mecha, you should be a little faster than us, but basically, if you get close, you’ll die. We can’t even get close to the inside. We had to figure out the boundaries of the forbidden zone little by little.”

Ji Mingxiao narrowed her eyes.

“And we’ve also tried using other things to explore, but none of them worked.” Shao Yu sighed.

She tapped the table.

“How do you know the others are in the forbidden zone?” Xu Shu asked.

Ji Mingxiao glanced at Xu Shu, and the corners of her mouth curled up slightly: “Guess?”

“You’re not here for the forbidden zone, are you!” Shao Yu stared at Ji Mingxiao.

“Big sister, we were kidnapped by you. If it weren’t for you, we wouldn’t be here at all. As for why I know someone is over there, I dreamed about it.”

Shao Yu: ???

“Miss Lin? You take your dreams seriously?!” Shao Yu slapped the table and stood up. “Are you kidding us?”

“I didn’t know you had a forbidden zone here, so I came to ask you. Now there is one, and it’s clear my dream is credible.” Ji Mingxiao said with a thick face.

“What kind of logic is that?” Xu Shu laughed. “I advise you not to approach it casually.”

Ji Mingxiao stared into Xu Shu’s eyes: “Are you sure you don’t want to get close? Don’t you think it’s related to the forbidden zone that so many mechas from the Ai’yi country have come here?”

Xu Shu and Shao Yu exchanged glances.

“Even if what you said is true, and there is indeed someone inside, you tell me, we can’t even get close, so how can we get in?”

Ji Mingxiao was silent for a few seconds: “That’s a difficulty we need to face together.”

Xu Shu: …

Shao Yu: …

“So you came here today to be a lobbyist? Hoping we’ll charge into the battlefield?”

“Don’t put it so harshly. It’s just cooperation. You’re thinking too much.” Ji Mingxiao said grumpily. “But you’re also really interesting. There’s a place that’s clearly problematic, but instead of trying to solve the problem, you’re just getting by. Doesn’t that make you uncomfortable?”

“A breakthrough will definitely appear soon, since those mechas just showed up recently, right?” Ji Mingxiao stood up. “You can think about it yourselves.”

After saying that, Ji Mingxiao left with her people.

The people who went with her were also curious.

“Our other people are all in the forbidden zone?”

“Probably.”

“Why?”

“Do you believe in my intuition?” Ji Mingxiao looked at the person who asked the question. “I relied on my intuition to find my doctor, and it’s the same this time. This is probably what you call a deep connection. You wouldn’t understand.”

“The power of love, it’s above all else.”

Ji Mingxiao exclaimed.

Onlookers: ???

System A: I’ll just quietly listen to you talk nonsense.

Ji Mingxiao went back and explained the situation. They set a plan to spend three days figuring out how many mechas from the Ai’yi country there were in this area.

After three days, they would find a way to get close to the forbidden zone.

They were definitely going to the forbidden zone.

Xi Ruan had already started her life of carrying bricks.

Literally, carrying bricks.

Face to the yellow earth, back to the sky.

She didn’t know what material these bricks were, but one of them weighed as much as five or six normal ones.

Xi Ruan was a pampered girl, and carrying three at a time would kill her.

Most of the people were from the infantry division, and they adapted better than her.

Although they were carrying bricks, they were also observing the routes.

If someone ran a little too far, they would get an electric shock.

It was a real killer.

At first, there were still people who resisted, but now there were far fewer.

A newborn calf is not afraid of a tiger, but you still need to have a life. And at the moment, the teachers could still keep the students in check.

“Move faster!”

“Can’t we use a robot?” Xi Ruan looked at the person next to her.

“What’s it to you! Just carry it!”

Xi Ruan pursed her lips: “I’m a medical student, I haven’t been trained…”

“A medical student?”

“Boss! There’s a medical student here!”

Xi Ruan: ???

Afterward, Xi Ruan and six other doctors were taken away together, three women and four men.

Although they didn’t know what they were going to do next, being a doctor most likely meant helping to treat people. As long as it wasn’t carrying bricks, everything would be fine.

They entered a house and walked down a long corridor.

They arrived in front of Xiao Cheng again.

Xiao Cheng glanced at them, wrinkled his brows in disgust: “Take them to get cleaned up and then bring them to me.”

Xi Ruan’s eyes lit up. She could actually take a shower. God knows how miserable she was all morning at the construction site.

Doctors were probably in short supply here. Xi Ruan and the others took a good shower, and no one rushed them.

They were also given new clothes.

When Xi Ruan and the others returned to Xiao Cheng’s office, he was eating.

He had three dishes and one soup, which wasn’t extravagant, but compared to the steamed buns they had for lunch, it was infinitely better.

“Since you are doctors, you don’t have to carry bricks. I want you to help me save someone.” Xiao Cheng wiped the oil from his hands. “I have everything you need here.”

“If you can save them, I can send you away. If you can’t, you can stay here.”

Xi Ruan pursed her lips.

“Don’t worry, during this time, you will be well-fed and housed. You don’t have to go outside.”

None of the seven people’s faces showed any joy.

It meant they were completely isolated from the people with combat power outside.

“Smile a little, why are you all so glum? You have a chance to leave.”

The seven people were quickly taken to a laboratory.

A person was lying inside.

The seven people exchanged glances, walked closer, and took a look.

The person was already dead.

“Although technology is advanced now, it hasn’t reached the point where it can bring people back from the dead.”

“This must be a lunatic.”

“Lower your voice!”

“What do we do now?”

Xi Ruan looked at the person lying there: “Let’s ask them for the previous research reports. That’s all we can do for now.”

There weren’t many previous research reports. To be precise, there were none.

This place had a very complete modern medical system, but it hadn’t reached the point where it could save a person.

“This person has been lying here for five years.”

“Although they look no different from someone sleeping, they are dead.”

One person, with a bit more courage, poked the other’s arm.

It was still soft and had a temperature.

“Might as well have stayed outside carrying bricks.”

“Let’s do a routine check first. Anyway… let’s see how long they can survive.” Although Xi Ruan said this, she opened her back end and looked at her points.

She had painstakingly saved over 60,000 points.

She really didn’t want to use them.

In another era, a routine check could take three or four days.

But here, a full check-up took only a few minutes.

The data was that of a dead person.

“I want to ask, does it count as being alive if we can make them move?” Xi Ruan twirled the bracelet in her hand. This was something they were given when they came in, for easy contact.

“Alive like you are.”

Xi Ruan: …

“Do you know that he has already lost his vital signs?”

“I know, that’s why I’m asking you to save him.”

“But…” Xi Ruan frowned.

“So, are you giving up this opportunity? Then you can go and die directly.” Xiao Cheng’s voice had always been gentle, but the words he spoke were not gentle at all.

Xi Ruan was silent for a few seconds: “I think we can continue to study it. After all, this is the first time we’ve encountered such a difficult problem. Goodbye.”

After hanging up the phone, the seven people fell silent again.

“I probably have a way to escape by myself, but I can’t take you with me.”

“Can you call for help?” another person asked.

Xi Ruan nodded: “I’ll go out and try? I have to go out to find someone.”

The biggest problem now was that they couldn’t contact the outside.

“So I’m leaving?”

“You’re leaving already?”

“Yeah.” Xi Ruan wiped her hands and looked around.

“By the way, they can hear us talking, right? How are you going to leave?”

“Just like this.” Xi Ruan walked toward the door. The moment she pushed it open, her whole body disappeared out of thin air.

Right in front of everyone.

She was gone.

The six people: ???

The person watching the surveillance: ???

Someone immediately ran out, but after checking the entire building, they couldn’t find her.

She had truly disappeared.

Along with the ankle bracelet signal.

When Xi Ruan suddenly appeared in the mecha, Ji Mingxiao was startled and almost hit the mecha in front of her.

“Xi Ruan?”

“Yeah.” Xi Ruan’s face was dark. “Don’t talk yet, I need to settle a score.”

“The mission reward is 5,000 points, the instant teleportation card is 2,500, the superhuman strength card is 1,000, and the positioning card is 1,000. I only earned 500 points? That’s such a rip-off!” Xi Ruan slammed the wall of the mecha.

Ji Mingxiao looked at her and blinked.

Someone had already heard the commotion and asked her what was wrong.

“Nothing.” Ji Mingxiao glanced at Xi Ruan. “Don’t cause a scene. Where were you?”

“I don’t know, probably on this planet too. There were a lot of big houses inside, and they made the students carry bricks. There was a guy named Xiao Cheng, who was a pervert. He forced us medical students to save a dead person.” Xi Ruan closed her eyes and tried to recall. “I don’t know what kind of bricks they were, but they were very heavy.”

“I don’t know what they were used for. I probably know some of the maps of the area and the layout of the buildings, but I can’t remember any more.”

“How many days did you last there?”

“Two days, I guess.” Xi Ruan looked at Ji Mingxiao.

“That’s pretty good.” Ji Mingxiao contacted people to return to the base camp. “Later, you should think of a good story about how you suddenly appeared in my mecha.”

Xi Ruan: ???

“Aren’t you going to help me make one up?”

“It’s too much of a brain drain. I’m not getting involved.” Ji Mingxiao glanced at Xi Ruan and gave her a look of encouragement. “You can do it.”

“I should have known not to position myself next to you.” Xi Ruan suddenly regretted it.
