Lin Yue curled up and covered her stomach, looking up at the young man with cold eyes: "You knew I was going to kill you, so you pretended to be very interested in radishes."
Chen Yang nodded: "Let you relax your guard and think I'm easy to control."
Lin Yue looked at the young man walking with crutches behind him, and then looked at him again. Now even a fool would know that the two of them cooperated with each other under her nose.
"When did you two become so in sync?"
Chen Yang did not answer but said, "Since you are afraid of him, I will let you go without him as you wish and I will go with you alone."
Lin Yue lowered her eyes: "How did I get exposed?"
Chen Yang said: "Murderous intent."
"I thought I hid it well enough."
This was the first time Chen Yang had ever laid hands on a woman. He asked, "Why?"
"Why?"
Lin Yue's face was full of sarcasm: "This is a survival mission. You ask me why, you still don't know where this is?"
Chen Yang was not angered by her: "My being alive conflicts with your being alive?"
"Not originally."
Lin Yue was hesitant to continue speaking. Chen Yang looked over and saw that she suddenly opened her mouth and coughed out a small black particle, which looked like the seed of some plant.
Chen Yang pursed his lips.
Lin Yue's face was distorted as she stared at the seed. She was sitting on the grass to rest, and when she found herself wanting to lie down in the soil, she realized that she had mutated.
Perhaps I was cursed from the moment I set foot on the island, but it has been lurking in my body and blood until now.
The craving for fertilizer is also terrifyingly strong.
Lin Yue refrained from eating the fertilizer because she was afraid that Chen Yang would smell it and discover that she had been cursed and would not be fooled.
And that crippled man, although he couldn't even walk normally, his aura as if surrounded by black mist still frightened her, so she had to find a way to separate him from Chen Yang.
The result was that she underestimated Chen Yang's vigilance.
She underestimated her enemy.
Lin Yue grabbed the seeds and crushed them, saying to herself, "I started coughing this stuff up, and I thought I was going to die."
"Until I killed two fishermen. After they died, they did not become plants, but only turned into plant juice."
Lin Yue coughed out the seeds again. The muscles on her pale face twitched slightly, and she tried her best to suppress something: "They are another kind of alien, monsters. As long as they are not killed by humans, they can live like this forever and will not die."
"You saw that the liquid on my body had that reaction, which means you guessed the reason."
Chen Yang was looking at the small seed on her chin, hanging there wrapped in mucus.
Brown-red, like peppercorns.
"Are you wondering what else I haven't said?"
Lin Yue's breathing seemed a little difficult, and she took a deep breath: "Yes, and you know very well that the reason they became monsters is because they ate human flesh and drank human blood."
"There's something else you don't know."
Lin Yue then said, "Not necessarily. I thought you were a simple person, but I was wrong. You are too thoughtful."
Chen Yang neither admitted nor denied it.
"Awu told me that the ones they eat are not actually humans, but patients who are also sick but have not yet started to mutate, so that's why they are like that."
Lin Yue lowered her voice, as if she was afraid of startling the small animals, and said softly, "As long as you eat real humans, your illness will be cured."
When Chen Yang saw Chao Jian coming, he quickly took two steps towards him and stood next to him.
"If I'm not mistaken, when we landed on the island, all the fishermen on the island were no longer human. They were all cursed at some point."
Lin Yue suddenly smiled, her eyes full of romance: "But what Ah Wu doesn't know is that there is a real human being right now, Chen Yang. Where do you think he is?"
Chen Yang felt that his protective shell had been pried open and the evil spirit was staring at him.
Lin Yue wiped her mouth, lay flat on her back and said, "It's funny to think about it. Zhang Yan and I are all idiots. When we heard you say that you smelled the fertilizer in the mutant's mouth, we thought you were cursed and were on guard against when you would mutate."
"We are the ones who are cursed, not you," Lin Yue stared at Chen Yang and smiled, "You guessed it a long time ago."
Chen Yang remained calm: "How can you be sure that I am not cursed? Maybe I am just mutated differently from you."
"Okay, okay, this is the line Zhang Yan came up with for you. You're used to it, right?"
Lin Yue sneered, "Awu overheard a secret from the old people in the family. In fact, before he was born, there was a large-scale outbreak of strange diseases on the island. Granny Qi asked everyone to store fertilizer because she had a premonition, because those who were sick would shrink if they didn't eat fertilizer."
She glared at him angrily, her chest rising and falling under her dark purple coat: "Have you ever eaten it? Not only do you not eat it, you even feel sick when you see it!"
Chen Yang thought, it's A Wu again. Lin Yue is not in her right mind and is very confused, otherwise she wouldn't be led by the nose by the other party.
The other party has grasped her weak spot and knows what she is most afraid of and what she wants most.
Now she is also very suitable for asking questions.
Chen Yang said, "Do you have a life-and-death friendship with Awu? Why do you trust him so much?"
"I don't believe him, haha."
Lin Yue flipped the iron sheet in her hand, leaving a cut on her palm. She spread her hand and showed the wound to Chen Yang: "See? This is what my blood looks like."
It was still red, but the color was obviously wrong, and it was muddy with some unknown mucus.
It flowed out from between Lin Yue's fingers, not dripping directly, but trailing in long, sticky strands.
Chen Yang felt a little nauseous.
"As for you, you don't eat chemical fertilizers, you haven't shrunk, and you haven't died. If that doesn't prove something,
Lin Yue looked at the scratches on the back of his left hand: "Do you dare to cut yourself and let me see your blood? Do you dare?"
Chen Yang would never hurt himself. He skipped over this question: "Awu is misleading you. He wants to use you to kill me."
Lin Yue sneered at his evasion.
Chen Yang ignored it and continued in a serious tone, "There are overlapping spaces in the cave. Ah Wu knows this secret. He must have seen Huang Qing enter the cave first and then led Zhou Xiaoxiao in. He wanted to make it difficult for them to explain and make us suspicious of each other and kill each other. His goal was achieved. Our team of seven lost two people at once."
"So your murder of Zhou Xiaoxiao and Huang Qing was also planned by Awu."
Lin Yue was stunned by the development of overlapping space. She really wronged those two. It was their own bad luck. She struggled to sit up: "Why did he do this?"
Chen Yang said: "We are the variables on the island, he wants to get rid of us."
"He sent us food. If he wants to harm them, why not poison them?"
Chen Yang thought: "Maybe there are restrictions."
Lin Yue lowered her head and said nothing, as if she believed what he said.
"The point of the overlapping space has been found. We just need to wait for the time to enter. The mission is almost completed."
Chen Yang struck while the iron was hot and stated his purpose: "Awu is a key figure. Tell me where he is. We must find him."
Lin Yue combed her hair with her hands covered in blood and mucus: "Luo Bo, I lied to you. He is not dead, but the curse in his body has indeed erupted."
"I don't know where he went. I didn't care. He's mutated, so he can die at any time."
Chen Yang spent so much time trying to trick Lin Yue, but he didn't expect this result. His face darkened: "How do you know he has mutated? Where did you see him last?"
"I saw him sleeping in a pit."
Lin Yue only said briefly, then raised her head and begged bitterly: "Chen Yang, as long as you help me, just a little, let me take a few bites, I don't ask for much, that way I should be able to retain some consciousness, then I can blend in with the monsters at the foot of the mountain and get close to Grandma Qi."
The words were spoken in a humble tone, but a gleam of ruthless cruelty flashed across his eyes.
Just like after killing Zhou Xiaoxiao and Huang Qing.
Just a little? A few bites? That's not much more
Chen Yang resisted the urge to take out the iron nail and pierce it, moving towards Chao Jian: "Didn't Zhang Yan say that as long as I'm still alive and breathing, I can go back? Becoming a plant is not true death, but another kind of rebirth."
"How is that the same? How do the plants get back?"
Lin Yue screamed sharply, grabbed her hair out of control, scratched her scalp a few times, and nervously pretended to be gentle and negotiating: "Chen Yang, I don't want to completely suppress the curse, I just want to maintain my human form, so that the possibility of returning will be slightly greater."
"You help me this time. Next time, if we are still in the same team, I... I... cough... hehe..."
Lin Yue's throat seemed to be blocked by something and she couldn't speak. She pinched herself fiercely and spat out a large amount of seed.
They were spread out densely on the ground.
Chen Yang's scalp was about to explode. He leaned towards the boy again, but was pushed away a little by his crutch.
Chao Jian's breath was hot and his voice was hoarse: "Don't get too close, it's contagious."
Seeing that he was indifferent to the seeds, Chen Yang couldn't help but admire him: "Let's go back to the cave. Hold on. Without medicine, you can only rely on your own resistance."
Forget it, Lin Yue can’t find out where Awu went, so they should find it themselves.
There was the sound of vomiting again, accompanied by the rustling sound of grabbing soil. Lin Yue wanted to bury herself in the soil along with the seeds, and her body would turn into more seeds.
Soon it will sprout and grow new leaves.
Chen Yang did not stop. If he had not been on guard against Lin Yue and reacted quickly enough, and had not kicked Lin Yue sideways accurately, he would have been dead cold and had been bitten to pieces by now.
If no one offends me, I will not offend anyone. But if someone offends me, then there is nothing to say.
Chen Yang took three or five steps, and heard Lin Yue's weak voice behind him: "There was a senior in my last mission. That was his fourth mission. He said that in each mission, one person would get an information item. Zhang Yan also mentioned it when we first boarded the ship, and everyone shook their heads."
"We really didn't get it, but you lied. The clue this time is in your hand. That's why you didn't get cursed. You avoided it according to the clue!"
Chen Yang paused.
He had wanted to say it once while on the boat, but he didn't know how to say it. It was just a digested piece of bread, nothing else.
Later I didn’t dare to say it.
If he told others, they would definitely think that they were all cursed, and he was the only one who was still human and would not mutate. Then how could he survive until now
But what information can a piece of bread that tastes as bad as shit convey? Chen Yang thought that it would probably just give him an immune effect, nothing else.
As for avoiding curses and such, that's pure nonsense.
Lin Yue didn't talk to Chen Yang anymore, but looked at the boy: "He also hid it from you?"
Chao Jian looked indifferent.
Lin Yue stretched her hands uncontrollably into the soil. Her eyes were bloodshot as she struggled, but she still smiled mockingly at the boy, "He didn't tell you."
"It turns out that he didn't trust you that much. He watched you get cursed. Haha, I thought you two were such close friends."
Chen Yang was originally staring at Lin Yue. Upon hearing this, he instinctively turned to look at the boy and explained anxiously, "She is trying to sow discord. Don't..."
The voice stopped abruptly, and the hand hanging by the side felt a sharp pain.
Lin Yue bit Chen Yang tightly.
All her internal organs, bones, blood and flesh seemed to be hollowed out, leaving her just an empty shell. She was floating rather than pounce, and her speed was terrifyingly fast.
Chen Yang's eyes went dark due to the pain. Before he could react, a crutch was swung at Lin Yue's temple. She was knocked away, carrying with her a piece of flesh torn off from the back of Chen Yang's hand.
Lin Yue kept twitching, trying frantically to swallow the piece of meat, when another crutch came swinging at her and hit her right on the top of the head.
"Bang!"
She was completely dead.
The meat in his mouth also fell to the side of his face, along with some sticky seeds.
Chao Jian was still waving his cane, aiming it at Lin Yue's head, accurately and without deviation, over and over again.
Cruel, sinister, and tyrannical.
