Chapter 221 There are more than people alive in the copy
Tingcheng, like Beijing, has seen a significant reduction in the number of people going out, but 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 hand of the painting girl and gave her a card, "Buy whatever you want, but it cannot exceed five thousand, it is considered an overtime bonus."
The painting girl wiped away her tears and turned back into the mall.
She took the flowers back to the house she rented. As soon as she took out the key, the door opposite opened. Yuan Yao jumped out, stretched out his arms to hug him, "Brother Xu, you are finally back!"
Xu Huo raised his foot to hold the person against him, and glanced at the dark circles under his eyes and sunken face, "Are you okay?"
"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 snacks and dried fruits.
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 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 those people who were watching around the community were here for Yuan Yao.
Xu Huo poured him another glass of water, "You didn't contact your acquaintances to send you food?"
After Yuan Yao finished drinking, he took a long breath and continued: "There are no acquaintances here. Everyone on the street thinks that the other person wants to eat people. Not to mention letting people come alone to a strange community, they don't even dare to meet in public places.
."
He paused and then said: "Besides, I'm being targeted. I'm afraid of injuring others if I call for help."
"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 wonder 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 outside areas disappeared in a short period of time. They either left Area 014 or hid themselves and would not expose themselves for a low-level player.
"With all our efforts, players from other 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 dialed the phone number he saw on the patrol car just now, "...Yes, I found three cannibalistic evolvers. Their location is..."
After hanging up the phone, he looked at Yuan Yao again, "Tell me more about the copy process."
"Okay." Yuan Yao wiped 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 meat 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 "buying meat."
If the villagers exchange it for livestock, then it will give the villagers a little gold. If it is a human, they can exchange for a safe night by selling their meat.
Xu Huo looked at him, "There are ten days in the game, why did you sell twenty-five kilograms of meat?"
Yuan Yao looked ashamed, "You can't blame me. I was deceived into it the first day, and then other players forced me to have no choice but to trade with God."
"Are there any other players who came out safe and sound after entering the temple?" Xu Huo asked.
Yuan Yao recalled, "There is a female player. I saw that when she came out, her breasts were breasts and her butt was a butt. She was not thin at all."
"Are there any players who died inside?"
"without."
"Did anyone die outside the temple while you were there?"
"Yes," Yuan Yao answered honestly and courteously, "He died quite miserably. 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 one 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. It can suck away the flesh by just poking it on a person. It is very efficient and leaves no scars..."
Xu Huo looked at him steadily, and Yuan Yao shut 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 are more than just people alive in the dungeon, and the ones who kill are not just players and alien species.
The painting girl came back soon, bringing food with her.
"Sister Lichun, you are so kind, knowing that I didn't eat and you went out of your way to buy me a meal!" 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 out his chopsticks. Then she sat down and waited for him to take his seat, as if she were a good wife and mother.
Xu Huo sat down at the dining table under Yuan Yao's envious gaze, slowly picked up his chopsticks, and said, "Deduct the amount of money you spend from your pocket money."
