Tingcheng, like Beijing, has seen a significant reduction in the number of people going out. However, under the call of the state, some shops are still open. After all, there are patrol cars on the streets in broad daylight.
When he arrived outside the community, Xu Huo took the flowerpot in the painting girl's hand and gave her a card.
"Buy whatever you want, but it can't exceed five thousand. It's considered an overtime bonus." The painting girl wiped away her tears and turned around and entered the mall.
He took the flowers back to the house he rented. As soon as he took out the key, the door opposite opened. Yuan Yao jumped out and stretched out his arms to hug him.
"Brother Xu, you are finally back!" Xu Huo raised his foot to hold the person against him, scanning the dark circles under his eyes and sunken face,
"Are you OK?"
"I'm so miserable!" Yuan Yao burst into tears on the spot,
"I haven't eaten for several days, and no one has delivered takeaways. If you don't come back, I will starve to death!" Xu Huo opened the door and let him in. As soon as he entered, Yuan Yao rushed to the refrigerator and took out the snacks and dried fruits. dig.
These things he bought for the painting girl. Xu Huo poured him a glass of water, sat down and watched him eat. Yuan Yao stuffed something into his mouth and said vaguely: "I took my parents to the countryside to avoid trouble. During the few days when players from outside areas invaded, I didn't even dare to sleep. I finally waited for them to leave. It’s time to enter the copy again.”
"I went in without any preparation. The boss of that dungeon was a pervert who liked to eat the flesh of young men. I sold twenty-five pounds of meat to survive until the end of the game..."
"You see, this is why I am so thin. After I came out, I wanted to find something to eat, but before I could take two steps, I ran into a thief. My phone and wallet were all stolen, and then I was targeted again. I am not in this state anymore. If you dare to stay outside, you have to come back first."
"Fortunately, I have a spare key, otherwise I wouldn't even be able to get in!" It turns out that the people who were staring at the neighborhood were coming for Yuan Yao.
Xu Huo poured him another glass of water.
"You didn't contact an acquaintance to deliver food to you?" Yuan Yao took a long breath after drinking and continued: "How can there be any acquaintances now? Everyone on the street thinks that the other person wants to eat people, let alone strangers who come alone. In my neighborhood, I don’t even dare to meet up in public.” He paused and said, “Besides, I’ve been targeted by others, so I’m afraid of injuring others if I ask someone to come.”
"Didn't you call the reporting phone number?" Xu Huo said, "You have a computer in your room. It's not difficult to contact the people at Tingcheng Research Institute." Yuan Yao scratched his hair.
"What, I don't dare."
"First of all, some people say that some malicious players have sneaked into the research institute. The list of players in the research institute has been leaked. I heard that several players have died. I don't know if it was done by people in the research institute. of."
"Brother Xu, do you think there will be players from outside areas staying in Area 014?" Yuan Yao asked cautiously: "Are the players staring at me players from outside areas?"
"No." Xu Huo said: "If you are a player from outside the area, they don't have to keep an eye on you these days." What's more, the players from the outside area disappeared in a short period of time, either leaving Area 014 or hiding. , will not expose himself for a low-level player.
"With all the best efforts, players from outside areas will only stay in Area 014 for less than two months." He added: "Unless they want to keep doing low-level dungeons." Yuan Yao breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this, and Xu Huo picked up the phone and called I got the phone number I just saw on the patrol car.
"...Yes, I found three cannibalistic evolvers. Their locations are..." After hanging up the phone, he looked at Yuan Yao again.
"Tell me more about the copy."
"Okay." Yuan Yao rubbed his mouth with his sleeve and sat down to explain in detail to him. This time he entered a dungeon full of ghosts and gods. The small village in the dungeon believed in a god he had never heard of or seen before. This god had a steel scale in his hand and had to eat meat every day.
If it is livestock meat, it costs one hundred kilograms, but human flesh only costs five kilograms. The players were deceived by the people in the village. At night, the god will come alive and ask for meat, but it claims to be
"Buy meat", if the villagers exchange it for livestock, then it will give the villagers a little gold. If it is a human, selling the meat can buy a safe night.
Xu Huo looked at him,
"The game lasted for ten days, why did you sell twenty-five pounds of meat?" Yuan Yao looked ashamed,
"You can't blame me. I was tricked into it the first day, and then other players forced me to have no choice but to make a deal with God."
"Are there any other players who came out safe and sound after entering the temple?" Xu Huo asked. Yuan Yao recalled it,
"There is a female player. I saw that when she came out, she had breasts and a butt. She was not thin at all."
"Are there any players who died inside?"
"without."
"Did anyone die outside while you were in the temple?"
"Yes," Yuan Yao replied honestly,
"The death was quite miserable. All the meat was eaten and the skull was thrown into the pig pen."
"It's very dangerous both inside and outside the temple. The game gives two tasks, one is to survive for ten days, and the other is to explore the village."
"How dare I? It's good to be alive."
"There are others who don't believe in evil, but they are all dead, even the female player who came out of the temple with a full beard and tail."
"The game lasts for ten days. You will clear the level after completing one task." Xu Huo said: "The boss you are trading with should not be the boss of the dungeon. The real cannibals are players or villagers. The main body of this dungeon is the village."
"Even so, I dare not not trade with that thing in the temple." Yuan Yao said: "Who knows if it will go crazy and kill people if it can't eat meat."
"Have you seen clearly that it is indeed not a human being?" Xu Huo asked.
"It's really not a human being." Yuan Yao said solemnly: "It's just a statue, it just came to life."
"Its handle is like a straw. Just poke it into a person and suck away the meat. It's very efficient and leaves no scars..." Xu Huo looked at him steadily, and Yuan Yao closed his mouth.
Just hearing about the copy process, Xu Huo couldn't confirm that his inference was correct. If the person buying the meat was just a statue, then it was most likely a prop like the Painted Girl, or at least a special prop.
However, players can become the boss of the dungeon, and the props may have special uses. This also reminded him that there were more than just people alive in the dungeon, and there were more than just players and aliens killing people.
The painting girl came back soon, bringing food with her.
"Sister Lichun, you are so kind. You knew I didn't have any food and you bought me a meal specially!" Yuan Yao rushed towards her to hug her, but was kicked in the chest again.
The otaku fell down on the sofa, rubbing his chest and laughing.
"It doesn't hurt, it doesn't hurt at all!" The painting girl pouted and gave him some of the food, then served Xu Huo the rice and set the chopsticks, then sat down and waited for him to take his seat, as if she were a good wife and mother.
Under Yuan Yao's envious gaze, Xu Huo sat down at the dining table and slowly picked up his chopsticks.
"The amount you spend over the limit will be deducted from your pocket money."
