Mermaids are said to be legendary creatures that have never been seen before. To be honest, what he saw in the bay tonight really subverted Zhang Fan's imagination.
It seems that it is not as easy as imagined to persist here for three days, otherwise it would not be called a horror-level maze scene.
Since this maze scene is called [Silent Bay], it means that all the dangers should be related to the terrifying mermaid.
Now that they have found a way to avoid the mermaid's seductive singing, they will probably have an easier time in the future.
Of course, the ease here is only for Zhang Fan and the other two, not necessarily for other survivors.
Maybe they still don't understand the law of mermaids using their songs to attack living people. Tomorrow or the day after tomorrow, if they are lured into the bay by the mermaid's beautiful songs, there is a high probability that they will be eaten.
Zhang Fan let out a long sigh. No matter what, the first day was finally over. As long as he stayed up until dawn, he could enter the second day and be one step closer to completing the task.
So you must hold on and don't be careless until the mission is over. After chatting briefly with Zhao Ping for a few more words, Zhang Fan shut his mouth and stopped talking.
The long night was just the beginning, and they didn't know what kind of dangers there would be in the coming time, so they planned to recharge their batteries and keep their spirits up first.
Zhang Fan and Zhang Fan did not sleep at the same time, but took turns to rest. If one person sleeps, the other person has to keep watch.
...The night passed in a hurry, and the two of them finally survived the first night.
However, they did not sleep until dawn. Instead, they hurriedly walked out of the courtyard of this family when the sky dimmed.
If they were caught red-handed by this family, even if they did nothing, they would probably be charged with stealing.
Originally, the maze scene this time was extremely dangerous. If the villagers in Haitang Village were to be hostile again, the situation would become even more difficult.
It's not like Zhang Fan and Zhao Ping haven't thought about leaving Haitang Village and going outside. However, they were afraid of unknown dangers outside Haitang Village, so they gave up the plan after thinking about it, and finally chose to stay in the village honestly.
No matter how bad Haitang Village is, it is still much better than staying outside in the wilderness. At least here, there are people who can look after each other.
Maybe it was because they didn't sleep well last night, but both Zhang Fan and Zhang Fan had thick dark circles in their eyes, which looked particularly noticeable.
They randomly found a remote corner where no one was around, the two of them squatted on the ground, began to take a nap, and tried their best to adjust their physical condition.
I don't know how much time passed until the sun fully rose and the bright and dazzling sunlight shone on them, waking them up.
After stretching, they all felt hungry. But the system backpack cannot be used in this maze scene, and a lot of food cannot be taken out. No matter how hungry they are, there is nothing they can do.
I can only take deep breaths to numb the hunger in my belly. They walked out of the remote corner and onto the street outside.
But just after walking a few steps, Zhang Fan's brows suddenly stood up. Not only him, but even Zhao Ping also frowned.
Because they suddenly saw a circle symbol painted with white paint on the doors of many villagers' houses.
They originally thought that only a few houses had this circle symbol, but as they looked into the distance, they found that this was not the case.
Instead, this symbol appeared in every household.
"What does this mean?" Zhang Fan frowned slightly, his face full of confusion.
"I don't know, let's go and take a look first! And... look at these villagers, they are actually talking to each other again, as if they have taken out the cotton stuck in their ears!" Zhao Ping saw another group of villagers. , walking through the streets talking and laughing with each other, communicating with each other smoothly, and there is no hearing impairment at all.
Seeing this scene, Zhao Ping also took out the cotton that had been blocked in his ears, listened slightly, and found that the beautiful mermaid singing coming from the bay during the sunny day had also disappeared.
"Those mermaids shouldn't be able to come out during the day. It seems that they usually come out at night. They use their songs to confuse living people whose ears are not blocked, and lure them into the bay to eat them alive." Zhao Ping made a bold decision guess.
He felt that such terrifying creatures as mermaids could not come out during the day and would only come out at night.
"I think so too! No matter what kind of creature it is, as long as it is still alive, it must abide by the survival laws of nature and need to rest. No one can stand singing for a night!" Zhang Fan laughed dumbly and said Take out the cotton stuffed in your ears.
Without the discomfort of cotton clogging his ears, Zhang Fan's hearing finally fully recovered and he could finally hear the surrounding sounds better.
The two of them looked at each other and hurriedly stopped a lone villager who was passing by. After stopping the villager, Zhang Fan and the others were obviously stunned.
Just because this villager turned out to be the woman with the double ponytails who broke free from their obstruction yesterday and ran away.
This village is so small, I didn’t expect that all the villagers I stopped at random knew each other. This time, before Zhang Fan and the others could speak, the woman with the double ponytails suddenly beamed with a soft smile, and was the first to speak: "Hello everyone! What can I do for you?"
"Um..." Seeing that the other party seemed to be a different person, especially enthusiastic, Zhang Fan and the others were obviously stunned on the spot, not knowing what kind of medicine the other party was selling in the gourd.
You must know how this ponytailed woman, who had treated them with cold eyes and disgusted attitude yesterday, had undergone such a big change in just the past day.
"Hello!" Zhang Fan took a gentle breath, said hello with the same smile, and then asked the doubts in his heart: "Excuse me, why are there such paintings on the doors of every house? White circles? What’s the point?”
"You're talking about this. In fact, this is the custom of our village, because the day of ancestor worship in our Haitang Village is coming soon!" The woman with double ponytails explained with a smile.
Her smile was gentle and sweet.
"Uh...Okay!" Zhang Fan nodded thoughtfully, and then he seemed to suddenly think of something, and said: "Sister, we just arrived in the village yesterday, but why did we greet the people in the village? They always ignore us?!" Yesterday they came to the village and greeted many people, but these people not only ignored them, but also avoided them like snakes and scorpions.
But just one day later, this situation changed. Not only did no one avoid them, but they also took the initiative to talk to them.
This is really strange.
