What greeted them was not bullets, but a large hand that seemed to be smeared with white dye.
Zhang Hanju did not fire immediately. She and Shen Tianhuan looked at each other, hid their weapons, and did not take the lead in attacking.
Seeing herself being tied up by seven or eight tall tribesmen, Zhang Hanju was a little flustered and looked at her teammates. Shen Tianhuan's eyes were comforting her.
They also tied his hands and tied him next to the tree house. The two of them knelt in the snow, looking at the tribesmen from time to time. Zhang Hanju couldn't understand what they said.
"Do you understand what the bird is saying?" Zhang Hanju asked him in a low voice.
Shen Tianhuan shook his head.
These barbarians looked at the tree holes they made, and went in one after another to experience the small houses. Seeing that they seemed to have found some interesting toys, Zhang Hanju couldn't help laughing, "Hey, guess where they live, it can't be A cave, that’s not much better than us.”
Shen Tianhuan observed quietly, "You should pray that they don't want to eat us, otherwise we will get into their stomachs before the others."
Zhang Hanju's hair stood up when he heard this, "Don't scare me."
The tribesmen removed a piece of snow in front of the snow, made a fire, and burned a small fire. One of the barbarians took the lamp made by Shen Tianhuan in his hand and liked it very much.
Zhang Hanju had a good impression of this group of people who seemed to be playing cosplay. As a modern person, she was very curious about this strange group of NPCs in the game. She didn't know why the project team arranged for them to hide in the deep forest.
Zhang Hanju looked at the fire and said, "There is a horror movie about cannibals who sharpen branches, penetrate them through their mouths, poke them out through their butts, and then grill them and eat them. Have you seen it?"
Shen Tianhuan's brows jumped, "Isn't now the time to talk about this?"
Zhang Hanju whispered, "They don't seem to understand what we say, and we don't understand what they say. If we find an opportunity, will we escape?"
"Okay, the knife is right here with me. I'll cut the rope and I'll cut it for you. Is your pistol on you?"
"exist."
"OK."
Zhang Hanju stared at the strange totem behind them, "What is that?"
Shen Tianhuan was busy cutting the rope behind him without paying attention, "What totem?"
"It looks like a woman holding millet in her hands and stepping on a lion, you see."
Shen Tianhuan looked up and saw the white totems behind these people, "I have never seen such totems."
"Real or fake?" As an NPC who has started countless times, he must have seen it in the third round, but it is estimated that the designer has erased his memory code time and time again.
Shen Tianhuan cut the rope in half and saw another group of barbarians walking towards here. In the darkness, these people were like white ghosts pinched by ice and snow.
"Wait a minute." Zhang Hanju stopped him, "Let's not run away yet."
These NPCs don't seem to be of high level. They have guns in their hands and are not afraid at all.
The two teams met.
The group next to the treehouse pointed at their trophies and laughed.
Zhang Hanju and Shen Tianhuan, who were their trophies, were pushed out, and the opposite team also took out their own trophies.
It's Shao Ze and Yang Jiajia.
Unexpectedly, four people would meet in such a situation. Four pairs of eyes looked at each other six times. Zhang Hanju almost laughed out loud. Yang Jiajia and Shao Ze were very skilled, but they didn't expect to be caught.
She pursed her lips and suppressed her smile.
Looking at Shen Tianhuan next to her, she saw in the bonfire that Shen Tianhuan had a good waist. Unfortunately, she was still too slender compared to Shao Ze. If she and Shao Ze had formed a male and female team at that time, she would have won faster, but according to Shao Ze's Damn it, the two of them can't get very far without fighting among themselves.
Shao Ze was not good at all. He couldn't even cook the rice well. Shen Tianhuan's roasted venison was quite delicious.
Just as she was thinking about it, Shen Tianhuan asked her, "What have you been watching me for? Are you running away now?"
Zhang Hanju said no, "There is no need to rush now."
She saw the calculation in Yang Jiajia's eyes. Their weapons should still be there. According to the combat power of these two people, it would be easy to kill all these NPCs. But Yang Jiajia and Shao Ze are not panicking at all now, as if they are waiting for something. Still looking for something, Zhang Hanju wanted to find out.
Before she could figure it out, two groups of barbarians came towards them, holding weapons in their hands, including blades ground from stones and bone knives ground from bones.
All four people felt that the situation was not good.
Zhang Hanju winked at Shen Tianhuan. He understood and started to break free from the rope again.
Just when these barbarians came close to them and raised their swords towards them, Shao Ze and Yang Jiajia jumped up and killed them with a few shots. The remaining barbarians saw that the situation was not good and hurriedly fled under the cover of night.
Dots of blood stains were left on the snow.
Zhang Hanju and Shen Tianhuan were not idle either. The two of them were afraid that the two would start to kill them after they were dealt with, so they escaped faster.
Shen Tianhuan untied the rope and hurriedly cut it for her.
As soon as Zhang Hanju stood up, the battle was over.
Yang Jiajia and Shao Ze stood by the bonfire. The group of people who had gathered together to dance some kind of dance before the meal were now scared away without even taking a bite of the prey.
Unexpectedly, they did not immediately point their guns at Zhang Hanju and Shen Tianhuan.
Zhang Hanju also put down his gun, "It seems they don't want to kill us yet."
So he also walked over.
Yang Jiajia never cared about the third round. Zhang Hanju knew where she was going, but why was Shao Ze willing to listen to her orders? He should be chasing others endlessly under the system settings.
How strange.
The four of them were kneeling just now, and now they are sitting. The heat of the bonfire has slightly raised the surrounding temperature, and they are not that cold anymore.
Zhang Hanju exchanged pleasantries, "Where are you hiding in such heavy snow?"
Shao Ze said to himself, "There is no way to escape from here, and we can't find anyone else."
"Are you so eager to kill them?" Zhang Hanju said.
"No." He denied.
Yang Jiajia said, "Do you have anything to eat?"
Shen Tianhuan walked behind the tree house and dug in the snow. After a while, he pulled out a large piece of venison, "Is this okay?"
The meat has been frozen hard.
Zhang Hanju could only wait for the meat to defrost and roast, "You are lucky enough to have eaten it. Didn't you go hunting?"
Shao Ze said no, "We just kept looking for the exit and couldn't find it."
"Will we be able to go out only if we fight until only one team wins?" Zhang Hanju said.
Shen Tianhuan sighed, "If I had known, beating a bigger one wouldn't even be enough for us to eat a few meals."
Don't answer her cruel question.
Yang Jiajia suddenly said to them, "Let's form an alliance."
Zhang Hanju raised his hand, "Hey, I don't believe you. Last time you said we should cooperate, but you didn't listen to my advice at all."
Shen Tianhuan agreed, "Okay."
She hit him hard with her elbow, "Are we still on the same team?"
"Yes. But unity is powerful."
Zhang Hanju pointed at Shao Ze, "Do you agree?"
"Um."
She stood up and had nowhere to vent her anger. Why did everyone always agree with Yang Jiajia's words?
She muttered, "If we don't kill each other, won't the rules of the game change?"
No one answered her.
Shen Tianhuan tore off a piece of venison and said, "It's roasted. You can eat this piece first."
Zhang Hanju turned her grief and anger into appetite. Not to mention, it was quite fragrant and she sat down reluctantly.
"Tell me, what do you want?" Zhang Hanju chewed the meat in his mouth, roasting it deliciously.
Shao Ze asked her, "Can we really find Zou Qiuyue and Xu Feiyang?"
"Why are you looking for them? We'll tell you when we encounter them." Zhang Hanju took a knife and cut off a piece of venison. It was a bit hot to her hands. She pinched her earlobe and said, "It's so hot."
"There are many more, don't worry." Shen Tianhuan cut it into small pieces.
"You guys can eat it. The snow is so heavy, it shouldn't be hard to find prey."
Yang Jiajia said to Shao Ze, "I will naturally do what I promise you."
She drew a picture on the snow. Zhang Hanju wiped the grease off his hands in the snow, stood up and looked at what she was drawing, "Hey, isn't this it?"
Shen Tianhuan asked, "What is it?"
"The totem we just saw on those savages was a woman holding millet in her hands and stepping on a lion."
Shen Tianhuan stood up and used the bonfire to see clearly, "Why are you drawing this?"
Yang Jiajia dropped the stick, "This totem is Ishtar. In Sumerian mythology, she is regarded as the goddess of fertility, love and war."
"I didn't expect that barbarians like them still worship myths." Zhang Hanju sighed.
She sat back down next to the fire to warm herself up. Shao Ze was eating their venison, "How is it, isn't it good?"
Shao Ze nodded, "You don't want to eat?"
"I'm full, just leave some for the two of them."
Yang Jiajia approached her and suddenly said, "You really don't know Ishtar?"
Zhang Hanju was stunned by her sudden question, "I haven't read any Sumerian myths. You might as well ask him if you ask me."
Shen Tianhuan said, "Why are you suddenly interested in this totem?"
"Yes, aren't you going to the border of Sunrise Manor?" Zhang Hanju asked.
"Where is the boundary of Sunrise Game?" Shen Tianhuan said.
Zhang Hanju and Yang Jiajia were both stunned.
He had always ignored them when they talked about this kind of topic before, as if he couldn't hear them, but now he joined the discussion.
Zhang Hanju felt bad and quickly asked Shao Ze, "Do you know?"
"Manor boundary? I haven't been there either."
Okay, now it's okay, everyone is crazy, NPCs can understand things outside of the game.
There is definitely something wrong with the system, and Zou Qiuyue is not an exception.
She hurriedly asked Shao Ze, "Do you remember what happened to me, Zou Qiuyue, and you, the three of us, in the car last time?"
"When were the three of us in the car?"
She was stunned when he asked back. It seemed that his memory had indeed been cleared. Fortunately, fortunately, he was not completely crazy.
Yang Jiajia suddenly walked to the bonfire and danced like the barbarians just now, and she danced quite like them.
It's like a ritual dance.
He walked around the campfire seven times.
She raised her hands high, as if taking off something on her body, then quickly fell down on the snow, stood up again, and circled again.
Zhang Hanju couldn't understand what she was doing and asked Shen Tianhuan, "Is her brain frozen?"
Shen Tianhuan watched her dance in trance. She didn't know what he was thinking. He was sitting next to her. For a moment, she felt that this person was tens of thousands of light years away from her.
Yang Jiajia said that Ishtar wanted to enter the gate of Hades, but the living cannot enter Hades.
Ishtar said to the gatekeeper, "If you do not open this door for me, I will break in, break the locks, tear down the thresholds, break the doorframes, and I will let out the dead of the underworld, their number will surpass the living in the world.”
Zhang Hanju dozed off. Without a mobile phone or a watch, he didn't know what time it was. It was probably one or two in the morning.
Shen Tianhuan was very interested in this story, "What then?"
Yang Jiajia said, "She finally entered the underworld, but there are seven gates in the underworld."
Shen Tianhuan understood something, "That's why those people's dance just now was like crossing a gate to the underworld."
"Yes."
"What are you taking off? Clothes?" Zhang Hanju asked.
Unexpectedly, she saw her action. Yang Jiajia said, "She is trying to get closer to the place where there is no return. Every time she walks through a door, she has to abandon something on her body."
When she walked through the first door, she took off the crown of the goddess, Shugur.
When she walked through the second door, she took off the Sword of Dominance.
When she walked into the third door, she took off the sky blue necklace around her neck.
When she walked through the fourth door, she took off her chest accessories.
When she walked through the fifth door, she took off her gold bracelet.
When she entered the sixth door, she took off her netting.
When she enters the seventh and final door, she removes the Mistress's girdle and garments.
So she got naked and fell on her knees before her sister Ereshkigal, the Lord of Hades.
Zhang Hanju was made to sleep by her boring story, "Why don't you tell me first, I'll go to the tree house to take a nap, I'm sleepy."
Yang Jiajia stopped her, "Don't you want to know the secret of this sunrise world?"
Zhang Hanju spread his hands and said, "You can't tell me that this world is Hades." He came closer to her and finished the second half of the sentence, "Don't take fairy tales seriously."
Yang Jiajia said, "My sister's last manuscript was about Ishtar's story, and the bracelet she left me also has the totems of those people. I believe the two must be connected."
Zhang Hanju sighed, "What on earth do you want to do? Go to a place where no one has ever been before. What are you looking for?"
After saying this, she suddenly had a guess, "Do you think your sister is not dead?"
There were tears in Yang Jiajia's eyes, which quickly disappeared. "Of course she is not dead, otherwise there would be no point for me to come here."
It's impossible for the people in the project team to lie to her, "But they told me clearly that your sister..."
"It was just a certain death, and I firmly believed she existed in this world, just waiting for me to find her."
Zhang Ziyang's face flashed through Zhang Hanju's mind, "If the person you are looking for has forgotten you, do you still want to look for him?"
"She will never forget me. As long as she sees me, she will think of me." Yang Jiajia is very stubborn.
She seemed to see herself in Yang Jiajia when she argued with An Shuang that day. Although she had verified that the Zhang Ziyang composed of the codes of this world was no longer the Zhang Ziyang of that world, but maybe her sister was still her sister, "I Help you." She said suddenly.
Yang Jiajia hugged her tightly, "I really need your help. I know who is behind you and he will not ignore you."
"Ah?" Zhang Hanju was stunned for a moment. By the way, behind her was the project team and the company. They would not ignore her, and Yang Jiajia was smart.
Zhang Hanju didn't complain that he was sleepy. He sat back and said, "Your sister left this totem, which is exactly the same as theirs. This is quite magical."
Shen Tianhuan seemed to be fascinated by this story, "What happened next?"
"Yeah, what happened after she opened the seven doors?"
The judges of Hades cast their death gaze on her, and the goddess Ishtar became a corpse, trapped in the underworld and unable to return.
Zhang Hanju clicked his tongue twice, "So, why would a living person go to a place where there is no return?"
Yang Jiajia asked her to stop making sarcastic remarks, "If you think about it carefully, does this story fit our current situation?"
Zhang Hanju said how could it be, and then quickly realized it.
Although she persuaded Yang Jiajia not to take the fairy tale seriously, if Ishtar is really some kind of evidence left by her sister, does that mean that the woman who once came to this world thinks that the real world and this world are actually the same The two worlds where the goddess lives.
Zhang Hanju pinched his face hard.
pain!
She was still alive. She looked at Shao Ze and Shen Tianhuan, two NPCs with almost perfect appearances. Are they considered alive?
