Cheng Shaofeng took the Forgiveness Hat and Xiaoxiao to Yanjing Town.
The three men each held a mace and walked along the path that Cheng Shaofeng often took.
It was just as Cheng Shaofeng had experienced before: there were no predators.
Xiaoxiao looked at the world in amazement.
"What a beautiful game background... It's a pity that such a beautiful game background can't be recorded in video! If my fans knew that I don't record videos and play games every day, they would definitely ask me to update more."
But Xiaoxiao changed her mind.
"As long as I don't say anything, people will think I'm sleeping. I can record videos during the day. I don't have to worry about not being able to finish the video when playing games. Wow~ I'm so happy!"
"In addition to getting equipment in the game, I still have to go out and have a look. The game world doesn't look dangerous."
Forgiveness Hat listened to Xiaoxiao talking to herself and whispered, "The road we are taking is not dangerous because there are no monsters here. There are many dangerous places in the game. Today, I was at the foot of the iron ore mountain, just upstream of the river where we fetched water. There was a human settlement, and they were using living people for sacrifice! The scene was very bloody! If the scenes are not deleted... This game will definitely not pass the review."
"Eh~ How scary... Then I'll just follow the lord out to play from now on. Our NPC should be invincible, right?"
Forgiveness Hat: "Well... That's right. After all, our players' foundation is the Scourge Base. Currently, there is only one lord. If he dies... wouldn't the plot be interrupted? So we follow the lord to follow the plot. It should be safe."
Cheng Shaofeng found it a little funny listening to the two players communicating in the back.
Treat him as an umbrella.
"But... I do have my own umbrella."
The defense system of the Scourge Base.
When he was hit in the face by radioactive objects for the first time, the protective shield was automatically triggered, blocking the attack for him.
Cheng Shaofeng has already asked Zero, and he knows that the base's defense system can provide him with 24-hour uninterrupted automatic defense as long as there is energy. He won't be shot down by someone while he's walking, and then GAME OVER.
But... if he gets caught, there's nothing he can do. The other side just needs to keep depleting the energy in his base and his defense will be broken.
This is also the purpose of him bringing the players out, in case they are caught... Players, go and hold me first, I'm going to slip away, and when I return to the base, I guarantee to revive you for free!
Of course, the two players didn’t know what Cheng Shaofeng was thinking and were still happily chatting.
Soon, the three arrived outside Yanjing Town.
Cheng Shaofeng looked at the quiet town and felt relaxed.
"This is the safest town in the Four Mountains area. It has relatively abundant supplies and can meet most of our current needs."
"Why is it so quiet today? Where is the person at the door?"
He sniffed and smelled a scent of blood.
Just as he was about to find the source of the bloody smell, Wang Qian's voice came from the other side of the door: "Xiaofeng? You're back? What did you get this time?"
Cheng Shaofeng frowned: "Harvest?"
"Oh... it's ok, I found some good stuff and I'm going to sell it to the store."
Wang Wan also walked out of the town gate: "I knew you were capable, you always gain something every time you go out. By the way... who are these two?"
"New friends! Xiaoxiao, Maomao, you used to live in other small places, come with me to the town to broaden your horizons. By the way, Brother Qian, Brother Wan, are you skinning the prey? Why is there such a strong smell of blood?"
Wang Qian paused for a moment, then smiled and said, "Yes, yes. We went out this morning and shot a blood deer. We processed the fur and made some clothes for Xiao Hao. Come in when you come back. We'll go to my house for some broth! As usual, bring some beans."
Cheng Shaofeng smiled and said, "Okay! Let's eat later and then leave. Let's go in."
The two players behind couldn't understand what Cheng Shaofeng said at all. They only saw the lord greeting the people in the town in a language they couldn't understand.
Xiaoxiao sniffed: "Are all the people in this town stealing prey at the door? The smell of blood is really strong."
Forgive Hat: "Maybe. Look, this gate just splits the sunlight in two. It's cloudy when you go in, and sunny when you come out. The light here is better, so it might be more convenient for drying clothes. You know what, the environment system of this game is very detailed. It was warm back then, but it's immediately cool when you come here."
As Cheng Shaofeng stepped into the gate with his left foot, a hand grabbed him from behind.
"Shaofeng, don't go in! I have something to tell you, come with me!"
Cheng Shaofeng was stunned. He turned around and saw Wu Jie had run behind him at some point, pulling his hand with an anxious look on his face.
"Wu Jie? I just happened to come here to look for you. I saw your doll was sold and I thought something happened to you. What happened?"
Wu Jie was my predecessor's most trusted friend, and they worked together as scavengers for three years.
After he inherited the memory, he naturally regarded him as a reliable person. He planned to let Wu Jie come over to help him after things at the base were on track.
Wu Jie frowned and said, "Come with me first. It's not convenient to talk here. I have something to tell you alone."
"Oh... OK, Xiaoxiao and Forgiveness Hat, you two wait here for me. Walk around here, I'll be back soon."
Cheng Shaofeng followed the mysterious Wu Jie 500 meters away from the town gate, but there was always a lingering smell of blood at the tip of his nose.
"What's going on?"
Wu Jie looked away from the town gate, his face darkened: "I saw Brother Qian and Brother Wan go out this morning, and they haven't come back yet! Who was the person who just talked to you? Do you still remember the story the old man told you? There are ghosts in this town!"
Cheng Shaofeng was startled, then suddenly looked at the two players who had entered the town. The shadow was about to swallow them up.
"not good!"
...
Wang Qian and Wang Wan at the door looked at Cheng Shaofeng who suddenly left with strange expressions.
"Who was Xiaofeng talking to just now? Why did he leave?"
"Eh? You are Xiaofeng's new partner? Are you also a scavenger? Where did he go?"
Xiaoxiao said with a strange look on her face: "Didn't he go to talk to his friends? It's a man called Wu Jie... Don't you know him?"
The Forgiveness Hat looked at the lord who was walking away in confusion, then looked at Wang Qian and Wang Wan, and then frowned.
Wang Qian was shocked when he heard this: "Wu Jie? Isn't he dead?"
Two players: "???"
Wang Wan: "Yes, just the day before yesterday, after Xiaofeng pushed the cart out of Yanjing Town, Wu Jie seemed to be in a bad mood. He smashed and cursed in his house. That night... there was that kind of noise again in the mayor's house. You know! Wu Jie, who has always been honest, came out and yelled, and the noise stopped, but the mayor's guards came over. He had an argument with the other side and was shot dead on the spot by the captain... He died tragically. Later, all his things were taken away by the mayor's people."
Wang Qian asked cautiously: "So... why are you talking about Wu Jie? What on earth did Xiao Feng do?"
Xiaoxiao asked word by word: "You...really...didn't you see...someone drag him away?"
Wang Qian and Wang Wan said in unison: "No!"
Xiaoxiao turned her head stiffly, looking at the lord who was getting farther and farther away. There was no one around him!
Suddenly, cold sweat broke out on her body.
"What kind of game is this..."
"Hat Bro... I'm scared."
She subconsciously reached for the Forgiveness Hat's arm... then her body froze, her eyes widening in horror.
My arms... are cold.
Forgiveness Hat is dead!
