"But..." The fat ghost hesitated. He glanced at the closed doors around him and muttered in a low voice, "They didn't come out to help. Why should I do it? There is still danger..."
"Oh...well, that's it."
An Qian immediately understood why so many ghosts had just seen the attack behind the door, but no one took action to stop it, leaving the mutated female ghost to eat with relish.
I see.
If others don't do it, why should they do it?
You can't tolerate even the slightest loss on your part.
This idea is not wrong or immoral, because it is self-interest in nature, just like Anxi will collect food from other rooms and put it in her own room. She must always consider herself first under difficult conditions.
So Anxi will not force them to come out to help.
It's just that this kind of selfishness is really difficult for Anxi to understand in this situation.
If you really care about your own safety, you should choose to cooperate and solve the source of the danger as soon as possible instead of hiding behind a door with a broken door lock to deceive yourself.
Caring too much about your own interests will be self-defeating.
An Qian turned around helplessly, ready to go back to the room to find Wu for help, but before she took two steps, a soft female voice suddenly came from beside her: "Let me help you."
The visitor was wearing a floral skirt, and it was Zeelan whom she had met before.
She grabbed the hem of her skirt and said cautiously and a little guiltily: "I... I was scared just now, so I didn't come out to help you, but if you move the body, I should be able to help."
"It's okay, no need to apologize." Anxi comforted, "It's normal to be afraid. It's good that you are willing to help."
Zelan smiled at Anxi, and Anxi asked her to wait there for a while. She quickly ran back to the room and brought Wu over.
The three of them first wrapped the bodies on the ground in sheets, then found an empty room and piled the bodies in the bathroom.
"How about... let's try burning it." Zelan suggested in a low voice, "There are no combustibles in the bathroom. Be careful and it shouldn't cause a fire. Besides, if the body is left for a long time, there may be some infectious disease."
Anxi stared at the two corpses on the bathroom tiles for a while, nodded and said, "Okay, let's do this first."
Anxi asked Wu to cut the body into several pieces first. The scene was a bit disgusting, as if some perverted murderer was committing a crime.
Zeelan couldn't help but lie down in the pool and vomited it out. Anxi closed her eyes and didn't look too much. She also stuffed two wads of paper towels in her nose to block out the smell of blood and stench.
After cutting them up, they divided the body parts into three small piles and threw them into the bathtub in batches and burned them. It was not completely burned to ashes, but it was burned to a coke-like state.
Thick smoke spread from the room, and the entire accommodation floor was filled with smoke and became foggy.
But the smoke was quickly exhausted. This accommodation floor was equivalent to a large submarine, and it must have an oxygen supply and exhaust system.
After finally finishing these things, Anxi was so tired that her whole body ached, and now she smelled of smoke and sweat.
Zeelan's face didn't look good either, it was covered in black marks from the smoke.
She wiped her face with a towel and asked Anxi: "You think...why does this happen?"
Anxi didn't reply immediately. She also found a long bath towel, moistened it with water, wiped her face, and thought to herself.
She didn't collect much information about this sudden mutation. She only knew that she would feel sick before the mutation and didn't dare to make a conclusion.
She initially guessed that it might be related to "being exposed to sea water".
It has not been attacked by the king beetle, but it has the appearance of a king beetle. The only thing that can get along with it is to be in the same water with them for a brief moment.
Thinking of this, Anxi turned to look at Zeelan. She remembered that when she first met Zeelan, Zeelan was also wet and had been soaked in sea water.
Zeelan found Anxi staring at her and asked awkwardly: "What's wrong with me?"
Anxi thought about it for a moment, then expressed her speculation: "I think it may have something to do with contact with sea water. After all, she was not attacked by the king worm. The only factor that can cause mutation is the common contact with sea water."
"Ah? So..." Zeelan looked at his hands. "Is it possible that I've mutated?"
Anxi shook her head: "Not sure."
Zeelan sighed, wiped his face with a towel several times, and encouraged himself: "It's okay. If he can't mutate until he is rescued, he should be cured if he goes to the hospital for treatment."
Anxi didn't say anything else, because she didn't know whether the mutation could be cured, and the speculation about why it mutated was not necessarily correct.
"Then I'll leave first." Although Zelan had a smile on his face, he exuded a dejected atmosphere.
"Wait." Anxi stopped Zeelan, took her to the door of her room, and took out two bags of instant noodles from the room for her.
Zeelan was flattered and subconsciously rejected it: "It's not very good."
"It's not for free." An Qian replied, "We will continue to cooperate if we have anything to do in the future."
Zelan hesitated: "But if you cooperate... I have nothing to give you. Besides, you have already helped everyone by killing the mutated female tourist. Frankly speaking, I am also helping myself when I come out to move the body. What else can you do?" It doesn’t seem fair to give me something.”
Unexpectedly, Zelan was quite principled.
And what she said made sense. In fact, it was she who ultimately benefited from Zeelan's help. After all, this mutated monster threatened all the tourists on the accommodation floor.
Although this is true, in the situation just now, only Zeelan stood up, and Anxi still felt a little different about Zeelan.
She felt that Zeelan would be a good teammate. If that was the case, she would take the initiative to bring Zeelan to the same front as early as possible, so that if something happened, she would be taken care of.
An Qian thought for a while and then changed her words: "Well, this is my gift for including you in my team. You have to listen to my command if anything happens in the future. How about that?"
Having said that, there is a reason to take these two packs of instant noodles.
Zelan thought for a moment, nodded, took the instant noodles from An Qian's hand, and said: "Xiao Qi actually wanted to come out to help, but she was timid than me and was frightened. I will go back to persuade her, next time The two of us will come to you together."
Anxi replied: "Okay."
I don’t know how it will develop in the future. It would be great to have more teammates who can help.
Zeelan took the instant noodles, waved to Anxi again, and trotted towards his room.
Meanwhile, eyes behind those doors were watching all of this.
Anxi knew that those ghosts had been observing the outside world and watching her every move, but she didn't care.
After all, none of these ghosts can be beaten, so there is nothing to fear.
"Let's go in too." Anxi patted Wu on the shoulder.
Wu pressed the key card on the door lock, and the door opened automatically. The two of them walked into the room, blocking out the calculating and suspicious eyes behind them.
