Chapter 1543: Rubik’s Cube Beauty (5)

People who had survived in this place for a long time were severely lacking in any sense of security. Everyone they met seemed suspicious, and any stranger might become the cause of their death.

As for taking newbies under their wing, that was even more impossible. They were already struggling desperately just to preserve their own lives.

Tang Guo silently watched them discuss things, a faint smile lingering at the corners of her lips.

What Yin Rui didn't know was that the reason he had been stopped from leaving the city and thrown back inside was because she had paid for their stay at the inn. Until the room fee expired, everyone in the city would ensure the safety of the group.

The moment they made any dangerous move, someone would appear immediately to stop them.

And how did they know so clearly what was happening?

Naturally, because they were native residents of Happiness City. They were one with the city itself, and every movement within it was crystal clear to them.

Originally, at this point in time, Zhai Chenming and the others had indeed been discussing going outside at night.

But with the original owner around, she had suggested that they observe from the city wall instead of going out directly, lest they encounter some danger.

Their guesses had been correct. Once a certain hour arrived at night, all of the city's residents would fall asleep and become unaware of everything around them. That was one of Happiness City's rules.

In truth, the secret of Happiness City would gradually become clear to those who stayed here for a few more days.

This time, however, Tang Guo offered no warnings.

Frowning, she asked, “Do we really have to go out at night?”

“I noticed it last night,” Yi Yingxue explained. “At a certain hour, the entire city becomes completely quiet. So nighttime is the best opportunity.”

Tang Guo revealed a fearful expression. “Then I won't go. I'm a little scared.”

The sight of Tang Guo acting timid wasn't unpleasant at all.

Perhaps beautiful women received preferential treatment. The others all thought it was perfectly normal for a woman to be afraid of leaving the city at night.

“Then wait for us at the inn,” Yi Yingxue said. “I'll accompany Ah Ming to have a look.”

Tang Guo hurriedly suggested, “Yingxue, your health isn't good either. I don't think too many people should go at once. It's better to let Zhai Chenming go alone. He knows a bit of martial arts, so he can move faster and won't be easily discovered. He's only checking whether there are dangers outside. He'll come back right away. If too many people go, it'll just make things inconvenient.”

After thinking about it, Yi Yingxue agreed. Her health truly wasn't good. If they ran into trouble, she might only become a burden to Zhai Chenming.

She nodded. “Alright. Ah Ming, can you go by yourself?”

“If not, I'll accompany you,” Yin Rui volunteered fearlessly. He was extremely curious about what lay beyond the city.

Zhai Chenming shook his head. “I'll go alone. Tang Guo is right. It'll be much more convenient for one person to move around.”

And so, Zhai Chenming decided that in the middle of the night, he would head out alone to investigate.

Tang Guo's lips curved slightly upward. He was the male lead, after all. No matter what difficulties he encountered, he certainly wouldn't die that easily. There was no need to worry.

System: Black-hearted woman.

That night, silence enveloped the entirety of Happiness City.

Zhai Chenming quietly climbed out through the window by himself and stealthily made his way toward the city wall.

Yi Yingxue stood watch beside the window, waiting for his return, while Yin Rui and Yin Xiaofei had no intention of sleeping either.

Meanwhile, Tang Guo reclined on a lounge chair with her eyes half-closed, appearing to have drifted off.

In reality, she was having the system pull up the group interface. It had been a long time since she had greeted her little companions in the group.

As for the Rubik’s Cube World, she remembered that several members of the group were currently there.

【Campus Belle】: Is everyone around?

【Chi Xiao】: Little sister, I'm here. Have you entered another world again?
