I Have Yet to Become a Doll Today

Chapter 114 - 114: 114 Where Is Everyone Going

Now that they’re out, they feel even more lost.

With the world having undergone drastic changes and life hanging by a thread, where should they go?

Five students huddled together, discussing in hushed tones.

Bai Youwei sat in her wheelchair, watching them quietly, her face expressionless as her hands tenderly stroked her stuffed bunny.

She could feel a tingling sensation in her legs.

Ever since the car accident at twelve, her legs had for the first time regained their sense of touch, yet she stayed silent, not telling anyone.

Because she hated false hope.

If one data upgrade could make her legs regain feeling, would a second data upgrade allow her to stand again?

What is a maze?

…God bless, or devil curse, she doesn’t care.

She just wants to stand up again.

The students finally came to a decision.

Zhang Tianyang said, “We plan to head south along the Yangtze River, see if we can find any assistance, or meet up with other survivors…”

He paused, looking at Chen Hui, “Chen Hui wants to head north, she wants to go to Beijing to find Teacher Tu’s son.”

Everyone was surprised.

Teacher Chang said: “It’s such a long journey, you’re just a young girl…”

“Yes, Chen Hui, Teacher Tu’s son must have taken shelter by now. There’s no way to find him.” Her classmates also tried to dissuade her.

Chen Hui pulled out Tu Dan’s wallet and showed them a family photo from inside.

“Teacher Tu left a letter to her child. I’m thinking of returning it to its rightful owner.”

There was a message written on the back of the photo.

Calling it a letter was probably overblowing it; it was merely a brief message, containing only two sentences.

—Xiaohui, Mom misses you a lot.

My child, I hope you’re safe.

The varying shades of ink indicated that the latter sentence was added recently.

Everyone fell silent upon seeing the photo.

Chen Hui said, “The address is on the ID card, if I can’t find him, I’ll leave the photo at Teacher Tu’s house. Don’t worry, I know my limits, I won’t do Anything

She paused, her voice growing softer, “Teacher Tu has brought us this far, I’d like to do something for her in return.”

After listening to her, Zhang Tianyang felt a pang of sadness, he couldn’t help but say, “Let me accompany you!”

“No need,” Chen Hui gave a light chuckled, “Your task is to finish what Teacher Tu couldn’t, to bring everyone to a safe place. Besides, I have puzzle pieces, so I can protect myself from the game. If all of you come along, even if we use up two pieces, we won’t be able to save everyone. So, it’s enough for me to go alone.”

She and Zhang Tianyang each had a puzzle piece, but there were five students in total, not enough to let everyone opt-out of the game.

After weighing up the situation, they found that Chen Hui’s arrangements were indeed the most suitable.

“Don’t worry.” Chen Hui said with a faint smile as she gestured her clenched fist, “I’m pretty tough now. I may not be as strong as you guys, but I can definitely hold my own against those who haven’t been in the maze.” Having come to a consensus, no one tried to persuade her any longer.

Shen MO then asked Tan Xiao and Teacher Chang.

Tan Xiao was an orphan with no roots, who had lost touch with his wild group of brothers. With no other place to go, he naturally continued to follow Shen

Mo.

Teacher Chang, on the other hand, hesitated for a moment.

His wife passed away when she was still young, and his children all lived overseas. He came to Yangzhou as he missed his elderly parents. However, considering the circumstances, the possibility of his parents getting on a rescue ship was incredibly slim.

After thinking for a long time, Chang Weicai let out a sigh, “Let’s go to Hangzhou. I’m old, I’ve lived long enough. If putting together the puzzle can really bring about some good, then I’d die a worthy death.”

Rather than dying pointlessly in the game, one might as well die for something valuable, something meaningful.

Even if it was just a tiny bit.

(Author’s note: Recently there has been a serious crackdown on romance, not even fake ones are tolerated.. So, I had to change the setting of the story! Originally, I planned to have the heroine’s mom and the hero’s dad divorced, but that wasn’t enough! Now, the hero’s dad is just a friend of the heroine’s mom! Just friends! Pure friends!)
