Xin Hui subconsciously took two steps back and reached out with her hands behind her back, but before she could take out the props, Xu Huo's strings were put around her neck.

He crossed his two fingers and pushed back, tying her up but not suffocating her. At the same time, Xu Huo warned: "It's best not to do anything, or your hands will be useless."

As expected, Xin Hui did not move. Her head was pulled back slightly by the strings, but her hands were still behind her back.

"What do you mean?" she asked, "You want to kill people and get goods?"

Xu Huo brought a chair out, sat down and said, "I have helped you, but you can't just ignore it without thanking me and lead me to my death."

Xin Hui was silent for two seconds and then said: "I don't understand what you are talking about. We met by chance, why do we want to harm you?"

"The first time you took Zhuo Wangsun and I into the foggy forest, you probably wanted to get rid of us. You probably showed up just now because you didn't want us to continue wandering around here." Xu Huo looked at her, "But I proposed to destroy You changed your mind when you dropped the nest.”

Xin Hui remained silent.

Xu Huo continued: "You are not a player of Clown City as you said. Coming here probably has nothing to do with clearing the level. You have a certain understanding of this fungal nest and know the entrance and exit. It is the first time that you left me and Zhuo Wangsun behind. That’s when we got here.”

"Judging from our distance, you shouldn't know that someone has entered the underground lair, let alone judge our location. There is no one else nearby, so your understanding of this place cannot be just about the entrance and exit, at least in this case Rich knowledge of fungi.”

"In addition, the fungus-formed corpse discovered by Zhuo Wangsun and my party should be insignificant information or has long been made public. You are not worried that we will tell it."

"In fact, with the power of a few people, it is impossible to destroy such a large underground lair. When I proposed burning the mycelium, you were obviously very angry and planned to kill people for it..."

Xu Huo paused and asked, "What's the secret of this underground lair?"

Xin Hui's face was covered so that she could not see her expression, but as Xu Huo spoke, her chest rose and fell and her breathing became rapid.

After a moment, she said: "What you said is correct. I am not your opponent. What do you want to do?"

"I am not a player of Clown City, and the internal conflicts in Clown City have nothing to do with me," Xu Huo said, "But I am very interested in this fungus nest."

Xin Hui did not answer his words, but brought up another matter, "I heard from Zhuo Wangsun earlier that you rescued two children."

Xu Huo nodded, "After clearing the level, I will find a way to send them to Clown City. They should have just been poisoned and not alienated."

Xin Hui laughed, "Even if we send them to Clown City, they will only die because they have been parasitized by fungi. Clown City will never allow them to appear alive in the city."

"This is not a big problem." Xu Huo said: "If the fungal infection is serious enough to be uncontrollable, the Clown City government will not let the fungal nests exist. Needless to say these specious words, there must be something else in the clown city's blocked cleaning area reason."

"You are very smart," Xin Hui said coldly: "You are not from Clown City, so what if you know?"

"Satisfy curiosity." Xu Huo smiled slightly, "With a secret in front of you, it is difficult for normal people to control curiosity. If you satisfy my curiosity, I will let you go, or if you don't tell me, I will kill you. You, and then find a way to demolish this underground lair, consider two options."

Xin Hui was furious, "When Zhuo Wangsun said you agreed to save those two children, I thought you were a good person. I didn't expect you to be like other players, cruel and cold-blooded, and despise human life!"

Xu Huo raised his chin and said, "Go ahead."

Xin Hui gritted her teeth, struggled for a moment and then dropped her shoulders, "It's a long story."

"Then speak slowly." Xu Huo said, "We have plenty of time."

Xin Hui faced him and said after two seconds: "This cleaning area is actually just a game venue."

Xu Huo raised his eyebrows and said, "Continue."

"As early as twenty years ago, the Clown City government planned to build the fungal nest into an exploration project. However, it was only when it was developed deep underground that it was discovered that the fungal mutations had far exceeded the government's imagination, and many fungi were extremely infectious. Once infected, It’s like having a chronic disease and slowly dying in pain.”

“The engineering team and persons in charge who participated in the project were all infected. After being sent to the hospital for treatment, the infection spread to three hospitals one after another. Before the widespread spread, the government sealed off the hospital for cleaning and moved all those who were sick to the same hospital. The city provides centralized treatment.”

"But the treatment was ineffective, and even some medical staff became infected one after another, and finally the government had to lock down the city."

"It was at that time that alien species appeared in the blockade area. The top government officials believed that the infected people had become alien species, so they fully pursued the responsibility. All relevant personnel who approved the project were detained. Later, for some reason, the news could not be concealed, and the whole city A large demonstration broke out, and some radicals broke into the prison and the upper floors of the city, kidnapped all the people related to the project and their relatives and threw them into the blockade area."

Xin Hui's voice was low, "During the chaos, there was another regime change in Clown City. Some people with ulterior motives secretly opened the blockade and released the alien species and infected people, causing at least one-third of the city to be contaminated."

"The new regime turned the tide and abandoned one-third of the land, surrounding the remaining people and letting them fend for themselves. However, there was no food or drink here. In order to snatch resources, these infected people started to cling to each other. Massacre, that is, at that time, someone secretly filmed the war footage and sent it to the public channel, which attracted the attention of other game divisions."

"Is it possible to switch from the tourism industry to making videos?" Xu Huo said.

"It would be great if it was like this." Xin Hui said with ridicule: "There are only a few people in the blockade area, and they are almost dead after holding on for less than half a year. However, the senior management of Clown City has tasted the sweetness and simply turned the blockade area into A play area, organizers come in and clean it.”

"It's a pity that there aren't many infected people left in the cleanup area. It's not exciting enough to open a front line between the two sides with holographic glasses, so they simply bought alien species from other game zones and put them into the blockade area!"

"Most of the people they sent in were low-level people with poor abilities and equipment. They could only be slaughtered if they encountered alien species. Most of those who were not infected even after entering the cleaning area were eaten by the alien species..."

Speaking of this, Xin Hui's teeth almost shattered, "Exotic hunting and eating living people is the most popular program in this game!"
