After hearing Bai Shuang's words, the faces of the town residents changed.
An old man asked hurriedly: "Your friend also died like this? Where? Was it outside the town or inside the town?"
Bai Shuang could tell that the answer to this question was important to them.
Moreover, the answer she is about to give may not be what they want to hear.
"Outside of town."
When the town residents heard that it was outside the town, their expressions suddenly became horrified.
"Go back, go back quickly!" Someone in the crowd shouted first.
Then everyone dispersed like birds and beasts.
Before the body of the dead child was buried in the ground, the residents of the town who had been gathered together just now had already boarded various means of transportation, or were running back to their homes on their legs.
Soon there were only Bai Shuang and a few players left in this area.
"What should we do now? Should we go back too?" Li Heng asked.
The experienced man said: "Get in the car, there is no problem in following the NPC's behavior.
"And didn't the owner of the inn also say that you should return to your residence before dark?
"Things like this that are emphasized repeatedly in the game should be the most basic rules."
Bai Shuang looked at the lonely body.
He was only one step away from being buried, but he was left behind.
"You guys go back first. There are shared electric scooters over there. I'll ride the electric scooter back after I'm done. It'll be quick and I can get there before dark."
Bai Shuang walked towards the child's body. Others were still trying to persuade her that she could come tomorrow.
But Bai Shuang insisted on having his own way.
"Forget it, let's go back first." The experienced man took one last look at Bai Shuang and started the car.
Faced with the safety of one person and the safety of a group of people, he will certainly choose the latter.
Moreover, he didn't want to die.
Everyone else left, leaving Bai Shuang alone.
The sunset on the horizon is as red as blood. In this survival game, it is not a beautiful sight, but rather like a bad omen.
Bai Shuang silently dug out the unfinished soil - only the last bit was left, which was not difficult to dig.
She covered the coffin board to hide the child's bloody face.
All she had to do was push the coffin into the pit.
The residents of the town have already prepared various earthquake-absorbing facilities, but only the last step is needed.
Unfortunately, after hearing Bai Shuang's words, they were all so frightened that they ran away without daring to stop for a moment.
Bai Shuang was also afraid, but according to their previous guesses, darkness was the key point.
It was only evening, and she still had plenty of time.
Moreover, she really couldn't watch the funeral ceremony proceed to the last step. She was only one step away from letting the deceased rest in peace, but she had to forcefully make the deceased wait another night.
Even though this was just a game and the deceased might just be an NPC, she still wanted to send him on his last journey.
"...Sister." Just as Bai Shuang was digging dirt with a shovel and throwing it on the coffin, a weak voice came.
She stopped, looked around, and found the source of the sound behind a big tree.
It was a young boy who looked very scared.
When he saw Bai Shuang looking towards him, he immediately hid behind the big tree like a frightened little rabbit.
His actions would make most people curious and unconsciously walk towards him.
But Bai Shuang glanced at him, then withdrew his gaze and continued to dig soil to bury the coffin, "I'm a little busy now and can't waste time. If you want to talk to me, just come over."
Bai Shuang finished speaking and did not receive a reply for a long time.
She kept digging earth to cover the coffin. After a while, the earth buried the coffin flat.
It only takes about ten more minutes to dig the soil, and the funeral ceremony is over.
"Sister...I'm afraid..." the young man's thin voice came from behind the big tree again, "They are all gone. They have forgotten me. I also want to go home..."
The young man was crying faintly when he spoke.
"I can't hear what you said clearly." Bai Shuang's attitude seemed a bit callous and he continued to work.
The sunset gradually dimmed, and finally, the young man couldn't help but walked out from behind the big tree.
He looks about nineteen years old. Except for his youthful and slightly immature face, both his height and figure are the type that can give others a sense of security.
But no one expected that such a person would turn out to be a weirdo and a crybaby.
"Uh-huh, sister, why are you ignoring me? Do you think it's funny that I'm so timid?
"But I'm really scared. I don't know where this place is and why I'm here.
"And I saw him die with my own eyes last night, and his face was eaten away by something unknown.
"It's very close to me. I'm inside the window and he's outside the window. Wuwuwuwu, so scary, really scary..."
From the young man's words, Bai Shuang heard two important pieces of news.
One, he is probably also a player;
Second, like her, he has faced the death of another person. This person may be an NPC or a player.
However, players cannot destroy their character in front of NPCs, so Bai Shuang cannot take the initiative to bring up players' matters.
So she stood still and continued to dig soil to bury the coffin. She pretended to be casual and said: "What happened last night? Can you elaborate on it?"
"I want to see if the situation you encountered is the same as mine, so maybe we can do some analysis."
The boy's eyes were red, "If the person who died on your side was also an NPC, then our situation may be the same. But if the person who died on your side was a player, then needless to say, it is definitely different."
Bai Shuang didn't mention the matter of NPCs and players, so the young man brought it up first.
Therefore, the test step is eliminated, and the two people face each other as players.
Bai Shuang finally stopped digging, put the shovel on the ground, and reached out to the boy.
"Hello, my name is Bai Shuang, and I am also a player."
The young man stared at Bai Shuang with tears in his eyes for three seconds before reaching out and holding her hand.
"Hello... hello, my name is Qi Yu."
As soon as their hands touched, Bai Shuang continued digging, but his movements were faster than before.
"Since you are also a player, let's talk about it later, I will bury it right away.
"The sunset is going down soon, and it's getting dark soon. According to the information I've received so far, you must return to where you live before dark, otherwise you will be in danger."
Qi Yu wiped his tears with his sleeves and picked up a shovel, "Then let me help you!"
Although he is a weirdo and a little crybaby, he is still very powerful with his figure.
With his help, Bai Shuang buried the last layer of soil in less than two minutes.
"Okay." Qi Yu stepped on it and compacted the ground.
He looked up, and his eyes were bright after crying for a while, making him look pure and cute.
He gave Bai Shuang a sweet smile and said, "Sister, let's go!"
