In this world, Bai Shuang's identity is an embalmer, the kind who specializes in putting makeup on the dead.
The girl nodded in understanding, "So you are an undertaker. No wonder you are so courageous. I don't even dare to look at the corpses, but you can get so close and observe them carefully."
Li Heng asked jokingly: "I heard that working in a funeral home pays very high wages. Are you also a high-paid worker?"
Bai Shuang also answered him jokingly, "After we clear the customs, I invite you to come and have a look at my workplace."
Li Heng waved his hands repeatedly, clasped his fists and bowed, "I'm sorry!"
After everyone made jokes, the atmosphere and mood were much better than before.
The veteran man drove forward and followed the navigation system. After more than an hour, they circled back again.
It's still that familiar and terrifying open area, and Li Xue's body has been exposed to more body oil by the sun.
The others' mentality was a bit broken, Bai Shuang calmly said to the experienced man: "Keep driving forward."
In this way, from eight o'clock in the morning until four o'clock in the afternoon, they passed Li Xue's body a total of seven times.
The last time, Li Xue's body had begun to rot.
Even though they were far apart, they could still smell the faint smell of corpses.
Sun Qiu was very worried, "It will be dark soon. If we come back here next time, what will happen to the body? Will one of us become Li Xue last night?"
Facing 'Wang Shuai'?"
Everyone's expressions were serious and dignified.
But they had no choice but to keep going.
Because according to the veteran man, the oil in the tank still hasn't changed, which proves that they are still in a state of "beating the wall".
To break out of this predicament, they must keep moving forward.
But fortunately this time, the fuel tank gauge finally started to change.
They finally walked out of the unchanged scenery and entered a new highway.
"We're coming out! Go to hell!" Some boys raised their arms and cheered.
One girl asked expectantly: "Where does this road lead? Can we go back to the city? I feel that if we can go back to the city, there will be many people we can ask for help, and the chance of survival will be greater."
"
The experienced man said: "I don't know. The navigation has failed and there is no satellite signal. There is only one road here. I can only go forward along this road. I will only know where it will lead when I arrive."
After he said this, the rest of the people's mood, which was relaxed and happy because they had escaped from the ghost world, suddenly fell to the bottom.
Their hearts are beating drums constantly.
Could it be that he has just emerged from the tiger's den and entered the wolf's den again?
The sun is setting in the west, and the sun is about to sink into the skyline, and danger is coming.
At this time, they finally saw a small town not far ahead.
"Hurry into the town, it's going to be dark!" everyone shouted repeatedly.
The experienced man frowned. His intuition from playing the game told him that this town was definitely not a good place.
But there was nowhere else to go now except driving into the town.
The town is very deserted. You can see many shop signs and the shops are all open, but there is no one inside the shops.
There are many residential areas in the town, as well as low bungalows, but strangely, there is still no one in sight.
Although the roads in the town are not particularly good, they are also asphalt roads and have obviously been repaired.
The sidewalks are also divided and the greening is pretty good.
But there was still no pedestrian.
Li Heng couldn't help but touched his arm and said, "It's so weird. This town looks very lively, but there is no one there. Where have all the people gone?"
Sun Qiu: "...could they all be dead?"
Li Heng: "Don't talk nonsense! If they are all dead, how can these small stalls on the roadside still be steaming?"
The veteran man drove the car very slowly, Bai Shuang frowned and carefully observed the situation in this small town.
"Stop the car. There is a small hotel over there."
The car stopped and Bai Shuang got out of the car first and walked into the small hotel.
To her surprise, there was someone at the cashier desk of the small hotel.
Bai Shuang said politely: "Hello, we accidentally got lost and came to your town, but there was no one around us along the way. Do you know where they went?"
Although the innkeeper seemed to be smiling, he could not hide his frown.
"They went to attend a funeral." He pointed to the east, "over there, you can see it when you go over there.
"But I suggest that you don't stay outside for too long, especially after the sun goes down. It's best to come back as soon as possible.
"You have to come back before dark at the latest, so just stay in the house and don't go anywhere."
The words of the innkeeper directly verified Bai Shuang's previous guesses.
Bai Shuang said: "Okay, thank you, let's take a look and come back."
"There are eight of us in total. Do you have enough room here? It's best to have one room per person. If the room is not enough, boys and girls can also share the room."
The owner of the small hotel said: "There are definitely enough rooms. You can have as many as you want."
Bai Shuang first paid a deposit for a room, and then went out to explain the situation to everyone.
The veteran man immediately started the car, "Let's go see what kind of funeral they are holding first. Large-scale events like this where NPCs gather will definitely play an important role in us cracking this round of levels."
The funeral area to the east can be reached in less than ten minutes by car.
Everyone got off the car one by one and found that the area was really big, almost as big as the area where Li Xue's body was.
Everyone was standing around something. Bai Shuang squeezed to the front and saw that it was the body of a child.
The body lay in a black coffin, his face chewed to pieces.
Seeing this scene, Bai Shuang felt his heart skip a beat, as if some secret was about to be revealed.
Bai Shuang squeezed to the front, and soon everyone else also squeezed to the front.
However, their actions were discovered by the residents of the town. One of the residents asked coldly: "You look unfamiliar. You are not from the town. Are you new here?"
As soon as the residents of this small town spoke, everyone's eyes instantly shifted from the child's body to them.
It's not a pleasant feeling to be highly noticed.
In particular, the residents of these small towns look very indifferent, with lifeless expressions and eyes.
It doesn't look like a living person, but like a living dead.
Several players were so stared at that they didn't even dare to raise their heads and hid behind Bai Shuang and the veteran man.
Sun Qiu and Li Heng only looked at each other and smiled awkwardly.
When Bai Shuang faced the gazes of the town residents, instead of being afraid, she actually took a step forward.
"We did stumble into your town because we were lost, and we wandered around because we didn't see anyone in sight.
"I saw you were holding a funeral. The death of this child was very similar to that of our friend. Do you know how this happened?"
