Heartwarming Little Story from Another World · Rescue of the Dangerous City_3 After waiting for a few seconds, Murphy made a big wave with his hand:

“Since no one has any objections, take your torches and we head out!”

—

“There are three of them hiding in the basement of the house!”

Murphy, leading a team of rescuers down the street, cocked his ear, accurately detecting the cries emanating from the ruins nearby.

He gestured with his left hand.

Lumina and Brother Black Silk, carrying their torches, quickly ran towards the source, followed by several brave survivors who held torches in one hand and cold weaponry in the other, vigilantly scanning their surroundings.

“We’re here to rescue you!”

Brother Black Silk knocked on the entrance of the buried basement and called out.

Although the people inside couldn’t understand his words, that didn’t stop them from knowing that someone had come.

Their cries rang out again, causing the survivors to wince.

The others began clearing the rubble blocking the basement entrance.

It was a tough task.

Below, a mother was wailing; her daughter’s condition was rapidly deteriorating due to her injuries.

“There’s a broken ventilation shaft on the side, but I can’t fit,”

Brother Black Silk relayed, looking a bit embarrassed.

He was on the brawnier side.

Lumina went and inspected the narrow ventilation shaft, dropped her torch into Brother Black Silk’s hands, rolled up her sleeves, and was about to crawl in when Brother Black Silk grabbed her.

“Don’t go!

Let the NPC do it!”

He argued,

“None of us knows what’s inside.

If you die, it will take three days.”

“If we die, we wait for three days.

If they die, it’s over.”

Lumina glared at the nervous NPCs around her.

She muttered,

“I know they’re just lines of code, but it’s all handled so realistically, I can’t bear to just stand by.

In reality, I would never have the guts to do this, right?

But that doesn’t mean I can’t play the hero in the game.

Keep an eye out for me!”

With that, she tore open a scroll Murphy had given her, granting herself an Agility buff, and crawled into the dark, constricting ventilation shaft.

Brother Black Silk looked at the brave figure disappearing before him.

His cheeks felt hot, so he stood up and shout at the hesitant NPCs, urging them to hurry up and move the stones blocking the basement.

He, too, pitched in.

Several minutes later, there was a noise from the ventilation duct.

Brother Black Silk rushed over and saw Lumina, face obscured by soot, emerge, carrying a baby.

She handed the child to him without a word, then crawled back in, later emerging with another small girl, around four to five years old.

However, there was no third rescue.

When Lumina crawled back out, there were tears in her eyes.

She covered her mouth, looking back at the tunnel regrettably as she said to Brother Black Silk,

“I couldn’t save their mother, she had been hit in the head by a brick and she didn’t make it.

She begged me to take care of her children and gave me the last of her money.

I failed to save her, alas…”

Brother Black Silk didn’t know what to say.

He glanced at the sweetly sleeping infant in his arms, sucking on his own fingers in blissful ignorance of the world around him, while the other rescued girl cling desperately to Lumina’s leg.

She was scared out of her wits.

Bearing all this in mind, Brother Black Silk suddenly felt a lump in his throat.

This god damned game is so realistic, is there really a need to be so hardcore about the details?

Can’t we just have fun killing monsters?

“Damn it!”

He spat out a curse, pissed off, he kicked a piece of nearby wood.

The outburst scared the baby in his arms, who started crying, leaving the twenty-something-year-old man helplessly confused.

After several seconds, a middle-aged NPC came up to Brother Black Silk to motion something.

He received the bawling infant and gently cradled it.

He gave a deep bow to a teary-eyed Lumina, then turned around and yelled at several people behind him.

The NPCs, previously hesitant, were now like different people.

They silently lit their torches and started to search more actively.

It seemed like the infant rescued by Murphy’s warrior had somehow filled them with a certain power, enough to start combating their fears silently in their hearts.

“Let’s continue!”

Lumina wiped her face and told Brother Black Silk,

“This game is really realistic, isn’t it?”

“Too realistic.”

Brother Black Silk picked up a shovel and complained,

“I’ve started to miss my keyboard and mouse, and those crappy games with rough modeling.

Seriously, I’m not kidding.”
