Martial Arts: Starting from a Seemingly Real System

On the morning of the third day, Qiao Rui woke up feeling uncomfortable. He looked down and saw Liu Xinyue sleeping soundly in his arms. Liu Xinyue rested her head on Qiao Rui's arm, one hand on Qiao Rui's chest, one leg curled up on his abdomen, and almost half of her body was pressed on Qiao Rui, making Qiao Rui quite uncomfortable.

Qiao Rui was about to gently move Liu Xinyue's thigh away, but he didn't expect that this would wake Liu Xinyue up. Liu Xinyue opened her eyes dazedly, and saw that the hem of her nightgown had moved up, revealing the lace of her panties inside. Qiao Rui had one hand inserted between her thigh and her lower abdomen, with his palm against the inside of her thigh, stroking?

Liu Xinyue blushed and said in a sweet and lazy voice: "What are you doing..."

Seeing Liu Xinyue wake up, Qiao Rui had no choice but to explain: "Your legs were pressing on me and I was about to move away when you woke up!"

"Oh?" Liu Xinyue was puzzled, not quite understanding, and rubbed it unconsciously. Then she saw Qiao Rui's sour look on his face and suddenly reacted. She exclaimed "Ah", quickly moved the foot away and sat up. She said in a panic, "I'll go wash up!" and got out of bed and ran to the bathroom.

Although she often teased Qiao Rui, it was only verbal. After all, she was a virgin who had never had a boyfriend. How could she have experienced such explicit and direct contact? Even last night was driven by emotion, and it was dark in the room, so she mustered up the courage to do those things. In the end, she was rejected. It was really embarrassing and annoying.

After Liu Xinyue finished washing in the wash basin, her mood gradually calmed down. She looked up at the mirror with a smile. She saw the person in the mirror with a face as rosy as peach blossoms, thin eyebrows, big watery eyes, smart and bright, delicate nose, rosy mouth as tempting as a cherry, and a face with a little baby fat. It was white and tender, and you could pinch water out of it. There were two shallow dimples on the left and right. When she smiled, she was really bright and sweet. Liu Xinyue nodded with satisfaction, pointed at the person in the mirror confidently and said, "You are a beauty, who are you afraid of? Come on!" After that, she walked out of the bathroom with her head held high.

After Qiao Rui washed up and the two of them had their meal, which lasted half an hour, the two of them finally jumped out of the hotel window. When they landed, Liu Xinyue looked back at the hotel and thought to herself, "What an unforgettable place!"

Seeing Liu Xinyue staring at the hotel in a daze, Qiao Rui explained weakly: "Liu Xinyue... Last night, I..."

Liu Xinyue turned around, looked into Qiao Rui's eyes, and said softly, "What happened last night?"

Qiao Rui felt uneasy when Liu Xinyue looked at him. He stammered but couldn't say a word.

Seeing this, Liu Xinyue suddenly laughed and said, "We have checked into a hotel and slept together, right?"

"What?" Qiao Rui felt like his brain was not working properly. Why was this so awkward? But it seemed to be nothing wrong...

Seeing Qiao Rui's dazed look, Liu Xinyue reached out and patted him on the shoulder, saying with a smile: "Don't worry, since I slept with you last night, I will be responsible for you to the end!" After that, she threw him a wink and left first.

Upon hearing this, Qiao Rui staggered and almost fell. This woman had such a sharp tongue, how could she say anything nonsense... But it was good this way. Seeing that she could tease him heartlessly again, he guessed that what happened last night was over and there wouldn't be any shadow or estrangement anymore.

Qiao Rui smiled bitterly and shook his head, shaking off these inexplicable thoughts, and quickly chased after him.

In the morning, Qiao Rui and Liu Xinyue searched the old city in circles with the square as the center. After repeated screening, they could not find any trace of Jiang Xueyun. Even the martial arts light group had little effect. In the afternoon, judging from the countdown of the channel in the character template, it should be around four o'clock. It has been six or seven hours since Qiao Rui and Liu Xinyue left the "Night" hotel in the morning. After eating a light meal that was not sure whether it was lunch or dinner, the two sat together to rest and adjust.

"Qiao Rui, what do you think of the situation with this channel?" Liu Xinyue reviewed her own situation and saw that the exchange channel would be opened in less than eight hours, so she asked Qiao Rui.

"I don't know, maybe there will be unexpected changes at that time!" Even though Qiao Rui was careful and alert, he could not make an accurate judgment and could only think slowly.

"In terms of time, it was a total of seventy-two hours, or three days and three nights. During this period, there were many miracles that fell from the sky, but as time went on, there were fewer and fewer of them. In the end, there were not enough of them, but they could kill people and gain martial arts. It was as if people were forced to fight for each other and even kill each other. It felt like there was a mysterious force that abandoned all modern things and deliberately threw out a certain number of baits, causing humans to kill each other in the most ancient way. Within seventy-two hours, the fittest survived, and those who were eliminated naturally lost their lives, while those who survived didn't know what they would face."

"So terrifying? The mysterious power is playing a bloody elimination game with us?" Liu Xinyue found it a little unbelievable, but after comparing it with reality, she felt that what Qiao Rui said made sense.

"I'm not sure if there's really a mysterious force manipulating this, but at least I can be sure that this is indeed a most primitive and bloody elimination match." Qiao Rui took a gulp of water, then pointed to a group of people fighting in the distance and said, "Who among those left behind doesn't have three or five lives on their hands? How many have we killed? About thirty, right?"

"That's different. We killed villains and scum, and it was basically them who provoked us first!" Liu Xinyue hurriedly explained.

Nodding, Qiao Rui did not argue, and continued: "Let's say we are exceptions, but what about others? Except for some lucky ones who hid until the end without killing anyone, who among the others did not kill their way out? On the first day, everyone stayed at home and lived in peace, but what about the second and third day? You also know what happened to Huang Jingxuan and Huang Jingyu's family, and did you find that..." At this point, Qiao Rui looked at the relatively empty streets and said in a cold voice: "The number of people on the streets has decreased too quickly in the past two days, especially today, the last day. There are almost no passers-by walking alone. They all move in groups of three or five."

"It seems, it seems like it's not as messy as it was at the beginning. It feels a lot quieter. What's going on?" Liu Xinyue was frightened by what Qiao Rui said and asked in a low voice.

"They were all killed... Think about the people who survived at the end. If each person killed one person on average, the city's population would be reduced by half. If they killed two people on average, the population would be reduced by two-thirds..." Qiao Rui's voice was not loud, but his words made people feel chilled.

Liu Xinyue felt cold all over after hearing this, and subconsciously leaned towards Qiao Rui and said, "Then... can we survive to the end?"

Qiao Rui then realized that Liu Xinyue was frightened. He smiled, took Liu Xinyue's cold little hand, and gently held it in his hand. The warmth in his palm gradually calmed Liu Xinyue down. Qiao Rui said softly, "Yes, we will be fine. We still have to look for Xueyun together!"

"Well, I believe you!" Liu Xinyue said softly, looking at Qiao Rui's bright eyes.

"Let's pack up and go, we... Hey, Baldy?" Qiao Rui had just finished speaking when he was shocked and quickly stood up.
