"Dad, why do I feel that this place is scarier than the island country." Nai Xue said with a pale face.
"Don't think blindly. At least it's safe now. This farmland is very open. If any monster does appear, we can see it at a glance."
Takahashi Yuya comforted.
"oh..."
Nayuki nodded, but her expression was still ugly.
The terrifying scenes in the mountains and forests are still vivid in my mind, and I can't calm down in my heart.
'Dong dong dong...dong dong dong...'
Suddenly, there was a knock on the door outside, and the sound was very steady, rhythmic, and slightly deep.
The people in the room were like frightened little rabbits, their eyes widened and their ears erect.
"who?"
"who is it?"
Now, all of them were leaning against the wall and sitting on the ground to rest.
Takahashi Yuya glanced around and counted the number of people, and found that there were twelve people in total, and now there was not a lot of them.
And he didn't feel that there was any living person approaching from outside.
'Gudong! '
Everyone's lips were dry and they swallowed subconsciously.
So...what's that knocking on the door now?
'Dong-dong-dong! '
The rhythmic knock on the door sounded again.
The room was extremely quiet. Everyone held their breath, not even daring to take a breath. The sound of knocking on the door was like a heavy hammer, constantly hitting their hearts.
"what to do?"
"Isn't it the old lady chasing you?"
"But...why knock on the door!"
"..."
Everyone was confused.
But at this moment, a girl's voice came from outside the door.
"Is anyone in there?"
"Huh?"
Everyone was startled and looked surprised, because the voice was clear and ethereal, obviously that of a girl, and it sounded quite nice.
Isn't it a monster?
People looked at each other and saw that each other was confused.
He even guessed in his mind that if he opened the door, the face of the old lady would still be there, but a girlish voice would come out of her mouth.
That would be even scarier...
But if it's a monster, why knock on the door politely?
"I can understand Longguo, I'll go out and have a look!"
Takahashi Yuya was quite responsible. He picked up a long knife and stepped forward, "Matsuigawa, protect my daughter."
"Um."
A young man with a tumor on his shoulder next to him nodded and said.
Takahashi Yuya walked to the door with a knife in hand. He closed his eyes first, took a deep breath, and was mentally prepared to face anything outside the door. Then he unlocked the door and pushed it forward gently.
The rust on the door rubbed against it, making a creaking sound, and it was pushed open a gap.
A refreshing aroma poured into the nose through the crack in the door.
A young girl appeared outside. She was cleanly dressed, with fair skin, delicate facial features, and a harmless appearance. The most eye-catching thing is that a small pink flower was inserted in her hair, adding a bit of unique temperament.
Takahashi Yuya was stunned and froze in place.
"flower girl?"
"Are you the survivors who escaped?" the girl asked.
"Uh...yes, that's right, we are from the island country."
Takahashi Yuya said in broken Dragon Mandarin.
"Oh, I am also a survivor. We have a shelter nearby. I just saw signs that the house had been opened, so I wanted to come and take a look."
The girl said quickly.
Takahashi Yuya thought for a while, but still felt something was not right, and asked doubtfully.
"Why...why don't you have any breath on your body?"
"Because the scent of flowers can cover up everything."
The girl smiled sweetly, her words obviously coming from the heart.
When everyone behind saw this, they couldn't help but be a little surprised.
"Finally...finally saw a living person!"
"I thought we were the only ones left in the world..."
"Woooooo~~~Great, she really isn't a monster."
"..."
Some of them even cried with joy.
"Quick...take me to your stronghold quickly. We urgently need a safe place to rest!" The man in the turban rushed up and said.
This whole journey of escaping was really tiring.
Both mentally and physically, they are always in a state of tension and have become seriously overdrawn.
"Well, come with me." The girl said.
.......
At this time, Lin Dong was standing at the edge of the mountain forest. He originally sensed the human aura and wanted to go over and check out the situation.
As a result, the shabby door opened by itself, and a middle-aged man walked out. Then he faced the air and began to talk to himself, explaining something in broken Long Mandarin.
"Talk to the air?"
Lin Dong felt a little strange.
However, a scene that puzzled him even more appeared. The other islanders in the room also walked out one after another.
They had different expressions, some were crying with joy, some were excited, and some had excited eyes. They were like a group of lunatics, chattering to each other.
Then these eleven people walked to the side together as if they were attracted by something.
Lin Dong stood there, thinking silently.
It felt like they... saw something they couldn't see...
but.
Their perception is definitely not as good as mine...
The only difference between me and them is that I have not been exposed to pollen in the wind.
"So there is only one truth... Pollen can make them see certain illusions and achieve a hallucinogenic effect. This is also the main method of killing by the fused corpse king."
Lin Dong immediately guessed the answer and suddenly felt bored.
It's really not challenging at all.
Not interesting...
Moreover, this kind of hallucinogenic method does not rely on mental power, but a pure physical attack. It invades people's nerves through the aroma of pollen, thereby disrupting their vision, hearing, and even touch.
The more pollen you inhale, the more severe your hallucinations will be!
As for whether Lin Dong's guess is correct, the answer will be revealed soon.
He immediately followed the islanders.
I found that as they walked forward, their hallucinations became more serious. Sometimes they pointed at the wilderness or looked into the air with excitement on their faces, chattering and behaving strangely...
The pollen lingering around became more and more intense.
After walking through a row of protective forest, a small sea of flowers appeared in front of me. The farmland here was filled with small pink flowers blooming one after another.
But under the roots of the beautiful flowers, there are dense piles of skulls and the corpses of various other animals. It is a complete pit of dead bodies!
In the eyes of Takahashi Yuya and others, this terrifying and grotesque scene is a different scene.
They saw a small shelter, surrounded by high walls, with the door open to it, and there were people inside.
People looked at them with friendly smiles.
"Wow! Is this a paradise?"
"It's so awesome!"
"Finally... finally arrived in the ideal country."
"..."
All the islanders looked around, their eyes showing excitement, their hearts so excited that they even couldn't help but cry because this journey... was really not easy.
The girl wearing pink flowers on her head smiled slightly, but there was a hint of teasing in her eyes.
"Congratulations... your days of escape are over."
...
