Non-Human Seeking Re-employment

Chapter 107: Drowned

Views:

The waves are constantly beating against the sand, ebb and flow.

A group of players stared blankly at the empty beach.

"Why, why did you disappear?" The woman in the long skirt was hit.

The yacht is obviously stranded on this beach, and half of its body has already landed on the shore, and it is impossible to restart without assistance.

But what is placed in front of the player now is that the yacht is indeed gone.

"Unless..." The voice of the jacket was a little dry, "There are other people on this island."

The glasses girl immediately thought of the group of primitive people on the mural. Apart from their group of players, the most suspicious people are probably the aborigines on this island.

There is just one problem. With the size of the yacht, it cannot be pushed by one or two people. If the yacht is removed manually, it will definitely leave traces on the beach, but now there are not even a single footprint on the beach.

Then the suspicion can only be placed on the existence of non-human beings.

The woman in glasses and the jacket looked at each other and said in unison, "Island Heart Lake."

Before the players went down to Daoxin Lake for a walk, only the tattooed man was injured, and a black unknown creature trapped him.

The woman in the long skirt asked: "But, what does the monster want the yacht to do?"

Jacket said: "To stop us from leaving."

The woman with glasses said hesitantly: "If according to the speculation just now, the place where the aborigines live is not far from this island, we can get there on a raft, so why move the yacht."

Jacket scratched his hair, a little irritable: "I don't know, you ask the monster to-"

Just when the players were concerned about the disappearance of the yacht, Shen Dongqing found another coconut tree on the shore. With his strong skills, he climbed the coconut tree with his strength in two or three strokes, stood on the top and shook for a while, and the ripe coconuts fell to the ground one after another.

Zhou Wenyan was standing below and was about to catch the person above, but Shen Dongqing didn't know what he saw, so he didn't rush down.

Shen Dongqing leaned against the branches of the coconut tree, looked at the beach not far away, and said, "The island seems to be getting smaller."

Zhou Wenyan didn't know why, so he asked, "What?"

Standing on it, Shen Dongqing gestured, pointed to the beach and said, "I have climbed a tree before, and it seems that the footprints on the beach have shortened."

When this group of players went ashore, they inevitably left a series of footprints on the beach. Shen Dongqing also climbed the tree and picked coconuts just now. There was such a little impression, but now that I look at it again, I feel that something is wrong.

Zhou Wenyan glanced back at the beach: "Come down first."

Shen Dongqing gave a "hmm" and jumped down from the coconut tree, landing in Zhou Wenyan's hands.

Two people walked over with fresh coconuts.

The players over there are already discussing how to make a raft.

Zhou Wenyan told Shen Dongqing's discovery.

The jacket obviously didn't take it to heart, and said casually, "Maybe the footprints were washed away by the waves."

Compared with the smaller island, this conclusion sounds more reliable.

After all, how could such a big island become inexplicably smaller.

Jacket said: "Let's go back to the rainforest and find some wood to make a raft."

It's easy to say, but it's hard to do this group of players.

None of them are experts at surviving in the wild, and they only have a short knife in their hands. I am afraid that even if the blade is cut, they will not be able to chop down a single piece of wood. As for the dead branches and rotten wood that fell on the ground, I am afraid that the raft will fall apart as soon as it swims out, not to mention that there may be unknown creatures on the seabed.

The plan immediately aborted.

The jacket grabbed the dead branch, folded it into several pieces, and threw it aside.

They wasted a day without even making a decent raft, and what annoys the players is that the game doesn't give a time limit at all, that is, if they can't find a way to leave the island, You might be stuck on it for the rest of your life.

Seeing that the state of the jacket was not good, the woman with glasses said, "It's only the second day, take your time, we haven't been to the other side of the island yet, we'll go see it tomorrow."

The size of this island is medium-sized. The players only walked half of it for a day, and there is still a large part that has not been there. Maybe there are key clues.

The jacket took a deep breath and accepted the suggestion of the woman with glasses.

Players lit a bonfire on the edge of the beach.

Shen Dongqing sat beside the bonfire, and the whole person was sullen: "I don't want to eat grilled fish anymore."

Last night's grilled fish was so unpalatable that Shen Dongqing was listless all day. If he had another meal like this, I'm afraid he would die first.

Shen Dongqing has no strength, but he has repeatedly scolded this stupid game countless times in his heart.

Zhou Wenyan touched Shen Dongqing who lowered his head and thought of a way. He picked up some washed up crab shells on the beach, put them in the knocked coconut, and boiled them directly with coconut water.

After a while, the scent wafted out.

Shen Dongqing was immediately attracted by the fragrance and looked at it eagerly.

Seeing his appearance, Zhou Wenyan couldn't help laughing. He used a branch as chopsticks and directly picked up a shell.

"Be careful with the heat..."

Before Zhou Wenyan's words were finished, Shen Dongqing grabbed the shell and "huchihuchi" began to blow, and when it was almost done, he peeled off the shell and bit the meat inside.

The seafood is fresh, with the sweetness of coconut water, and Shen Dongqing is instantly revived.

Shen Dongqing bit the shell and said vaguely, "Actually, it's quite fun here."

The sea view is good and the seafood is delicious.

Shen Dongqing's impression of this island immediately improved.

After eating and drinking enough, Shen Dongqing fell asleep. He leaned on Zhou Wenyan's shoulder and squinted into the distance.

I have to say that the night view of the island is good, the sky is as clear as another sea, dotted with the bright starry sky, as if within reach.

Shen Dongqing tilted her head and looked at it for a while, then closed her eyes and fell asleep.

The next morning, Shen Dongqing was woken up by the waves.

He opened his eyes in a daze, and found that the waves had covered his ankles, his pants were wet, and the bonfire was being swallowed by the sea.

The players woke up one by one.

Looking at the scene in front of them, they had to believe that the island was indeed shrinking.

Last night, for the sake of safety, the players set a bonfire in the middle of the beach and the rainforest, so that no matter what happened, they could run away in time.

But now, the bonfire in the middle of the beach came to the junction of the beach and the ocean, and was almost submerged by the sea.

The woman in the long skirt quickly got up and stayed away from the waves that rushed over: "What's going on?"

Jacket: "The island is sinking!"

The face of the woman with glasses is not very good-looking: "No wonder there is no time limit. Once this island sinks, it is time for our game to fail."

At this speed, it is estimated that it will not be long before the entire island sinks into the sea.

The jacket kicked the bonfire away: "Quickly go to the other side of the island to see."

Knowing that time is running out, players speed up and head to the other side of the island.

The players have already traveled the way to go, so the speed is faster than yesterday, and it took less than two hours to reach the lake in the island. Due to the existence of unknown monsters in the lake, the players were a little afraid and did not dare to approach the lake in the island. They kept a distance and went around to the other side of the island.

On the other side of the island, players finally encountered traces of human existence.

On the wet and soft ground, there were traces of walking footprints, wet, as if they had just been fished out of the water.

The jacket turned around immediately, ready to find these aborigines.

Shen Dongqing sniffed.

Zhou Wenyan noticed his little gesture and asked, "What's wrong?"

Shen Dongqing said in disgust, "It smells bad."

The woods were already filled with the smell of rotting leaves, but in addition to this smell, Shen Dongqing also smelled a fishy smell of water, the smell of a drowned ghost.

It is quite normal to have drowned ghosts in the sea, but the smell of water is too strong, like a hundred drowned ghosts lined up neatly and walked over.

Zhou Wenyan pinched Shen Dongqing's nose maliciously: "This way I won't be able to smell it."

Shen Dongqing: "Mmmmm—"

I can't smell it, but I can't breathe.

Shen Dongqing slapped Zhou Wenyan's hand away angrily, staring at him with his black and white eyes that seemed to be misty.

Zhou Wenyan laughed and raised his hands to indicate that there would be no next time.

After such a delay between the two, other players have already found the traces of the aborigines.

Jacket found a person standing behind the tree, showing a white arm, looking chubby, he just sighed in his heart that the food of the aborigines was pretty good, and went forward.

"We are tourists who entered here by mistake, you..." Jacket said while patting the aborigines.

Before the jacket touched the body of the aborigines, he saw the man's head turned around, and a bubbling facial features stared straight at him.

The jacket burst into a foul language and kicked the aborigines out.

The aborigines looked fat, but they didn't actually have much weight, so they flew out with one foot, and burst open with a "bang" like an inflated balloon.

Internal organs, muscles, and mucus splashed all over the place, and fell down, just drenching the face of the jacket.

One step behind woman in long skirt: "Ouch—"

Before the jacket could be disgusted, he heard rustling sounds from all around him. He turned his head and slammed into a face hanging down from above. He was about to make in-depth contact.

The jacket was frightened, and they all froze in place, without kicking the thing up immediately.

The thing hanging down from the tree is a corpse. It has been soaked in water for a long time, showing the appearance of a giant. It is too swollen to see its original appearance. Keep it personal and come out scary.

The dialects of various places broke out in the mouth of the jacket, and finally came the sentence: "Run-"

Too bad it's too late.

Something in the surrounding woods finally arrived in time to surround the three trapped prey.

The woman in the long skirt shivered: "What, what should I do?"

The jacket wiped the mucus on his face: "Shut up!"

The woman with glasses picked up a thick branch to defend herself and said, "I can only rush out."

"But, but..." the woman in the long skirt was about to cry, "there are so many..."

I don't know how many people drowned here. Bai Huahua's corpse surrounded the place, and there were even two hanging on the branches.

"Then just wait here to die!"

After speaking, the woman in the jacket and the glasses rushed out to take care of each other. The woman in the long skirt had no choice but to hold back her fear and follow.

It's just that there are too many drowning ghosts. The water stains that flowed from their bodies formed small puddles, and the ground became muddy. If they were not careful, they would fall into them. Not to mention running, it was difficult to walk.

After a short pause, the players are again surrounded by drowned.

The drowning ghosts kept coming, and the jackets couldn't hold on anymore.

At this moment, a voice came from not far away: "What are you doing?"

At first, the jacket was overjoyed—there were other players who came to help, and then before he was too happy, he remembered that there were only two newcomers left besides them.

The two newcomers were fine not to be frightened when they saw this scene.

Jackets can only shout at them: "Run!"

Anyway, coming here is a sacrifice in vain, it is better to run away quickly.

With just such a distraction, a drowned ghost pounced at the opportunity, and the jacket was too late to defend, so he could only watch the swollen face getting closer...

Right here, a stone flew over and hit the drowned ghost's forehead directly. Under the impact of the force, the drowned ghost retreated again and again, and finally could not maintain balance and fell directly to the ground.

Shen Dongqing held another stone, tilted her head and asked, "Are you sure?"

As if if the jackets let them go, they really turn around and go.

The jacket shouted without hesitation, "Save me—" The one who had no morals, knelt down.

The number of drowned ghosts is a bit large, and after being soaked in water, they are white and fat, and they are crowded together like glutinous rice balls.

Shen Dongqing: "I think..."

Zhou Wenyan had long been accustomed to his various ideas, and quickly stopped him: "No, you don't want to."

Shen Dongqing shrugged: "Okay."

After the group of drowning ghosts froze for a moment, they found that two more living people had appeared, and they rushed over with excitement.

Shen Dongqing kicked one in the air. These drowned ghosts didn't seem to have a high IQ. After being kicked, they climbed up with difficulty.

Shen Dongqing was so annoyed that he found the leader of the drowned ghost in the crowd and quickly grabbed him and pressed him to the ground.

The drowned man struggled frantically.

Shen Dongqing stepped on the drowned ghost and shook his head: "It's so ugly, so I hate drowned ghosts the most."

Drowned: ... Huh

Is this even racist

Shen Dongqing said with disgust: "Look at you, you are so ugly, stupid and stupid, when you died, your brain was flooded?"

Other players: …

The woman in the long skirt whispered, "The drowned one must have really entered the water, right?"

The drowned man wept.

Are you talking with a personal attack

Shen Dongqing saw the drowning ghost's face with a dull expression, kicked the drowned ghost leader, and asked, "How did you all die?"

The IQ of the drowned man is indeed not very high, and he makes an "ah" sound in his mouth and cannot communicate.

Shen Dongqing understood part of it, the drowned ghost said something like "sink", "drown", "turn over" and the like.

Seeing that she couldn't ask anything, Shen Dongqing moved her feet away: "Okay, for the sake of your mental retardation, hurry up, I won't bully disabled ghosts."

Drowned by language: …

They may have been hit, and they were not in the mood to find a substitute anymore, and they receded like a tide.

After getting out of danger, the woman in the long skirt fell to the ground as soon as her legs were soft, and the woman in glasses and the jacket were too choked to sit on the ground and could not get up.

The woman with glasses gasped, "Why are there so many drowned ghosts?"

Zhou Wenyan put his hands on his shoulders and leaned against a tree beside him: "Aboriginal people."

Aboriginal people painted on murals.

There is a painting that shows that after the sacrifice, the aborigines left a group of clansmen to guard the snake god on the island, and the group of drowned ghosts should be the group of aborigines.

After the encounter just now, the players have completely convinced these two people, and have no doubts about the guess made by Zhou Wenyan.

"Just..." said the woman with glasses, "why did they all drown?"

Zhou Wenyan looked to the other side: "Go up and take a look and you'll know."

He saw that the mountain was the highest point on the island.

The players climbed up and reached the top before night came, just in time for a commanding view of the entire island.

The shape of the island is annular, with a lake in the middle, just in the center, and the shape of the lake is also round, like a big ring with a small ring.

The aboriginal residences painted on the murals are nowhere to be seen, and there is a vast ocean near the island, with nothing but blue.

Jacket: "Impossible, it's clearly painted on the mural and it's nearby..."

The woman with glasses said: "The mural may have exaggerated elements."

Jacket: "Where did those aborigines come from?"

Along the way, the players found no traces of people living at all, and the aborigines could only come from other islands.

Zhou Wenyan looked at the island below thoughtfully, his back suddenly sank, he turned his head and saw Shen Dongqing lying on his shoulders.

Shen Dongqing put his arms around Zhou Wenyan's neck and yawned: "Have you found any clues?"

Zhou Wenyan: "I thought of yesterday's snake."

The snakes I encountered on the road yesterday and the murals painted on the walls all have snake tails interlocking to form a circle. I don't know what they are implying.

While they were contemplating, the woman in the long skirt suddenly exclaimed, "I remember!"

After attracting the attention of others, she lowered her head a little embarrassedly, lowered her voice and said, "Yorman Gund."

The tattooed man said that the name of the island was about what virtue, and it just matched the name.

None of the players present had heard of this name, and even if they wanted to take out their mobile phone Baidu, there was no signal on this island, so they could only be blinded.

The woman in the long skirt recalled something again and said, "This name is the monster in Norse mythology, the earthly python, which is linked end to end to form a world."

Players immediately thought of the totem drawn on the mural, which was also a snake attached end to end.

Jacket: "Even if we know the name of this island, for us now..." Halfway through the sentence, he stopped suddenly, his eyes widened, "This island—"

Zhou Wenyan calmly stated the facts: "We are on the back of a giant python."

So instead of the yacht disappearing, the whole island disappeared.

This is an island without roots. It is constantly moving, and it is also floating up and down, so the size of the island is unknowingly shrinking.

The group of aborigines, who were afraid that they discovered the island and landed during the movement of Yorman Gund, thought they had seen a miracle, so they turned back and brought sacrifices to worship the snake god.

And Yorman Gund is not fixed in a certain place, and it does not always float on the water, so there is no beast on the island, and it is even more impossible for people to exist.

And what the drowning ghost said just now, I am afraid that this snake turned over and all the people were drowned.

The woman with glasses lowered her voice, for fear of waking up the behemoth: "Then what should we do now?"

Jacket said: "The island is constantly moving. Even if there is a flight route nearby, we have no way to help others, let alone leave here."

Zhou Wenyan: "Who said no?" He paused, "Do you remember the game's customs clearance requirements?"

Shen Dongqing raised her hands very actively, striving to be a good student: "I remember—find a way to get out of this island."

Zhou Wenyan said lazily, "Then go out, does it count as leaving?"

Other players hesitated.

After all, there may be a behemoth under the sea, and even a snake as large as an island. Humans are always afraid of unknown things.

Jacket: "We definitely can't swim under the water..."

Needless to say, the creatures who captured the tattooed man before, those drowned ghosts are even more difficult to deal with. If you swim out directly, you will definitely encounter these things.

Shen Dongqing made a particularly reliable suggestion: "Kill them all."

It doesn't matter if you swim, you can kill it.

Is it very simple

Other players: Oh, it's so simple...

Zhou Wenyan made a more reliable suggestion: "The aborigines must have boats."

Those aboriginal people must have never thought that the sturdy island would suddenly collapse. Even if there was no use for a boat, they would just be drowned. They went to look for it, maybe they could find it.

With a way to leave the island, the players are very motivated, and after a night on the mountain, they set off to look for a boat as soon as it was dawn. Looking around in the woods where the drowned roamed, I did find a wooden boat.

After the wind and rain, the wooden boat does not look very strong, but it is not a big problem. As long as they leave the island, they will complete the task.

Two women in jackets and glasses were responsible for dragging the wooden boat to the seaside.

Overnight, the area of the island has become even smaller, and there are no traces of the beach at all, and even the coconut tree has disappeared.

The waves came in waves, and the island sank at a speed visible to the naked eye.

When the players saw this, they quickly pushed the wooden boat out and got on the boat one by one.

The wooden boat swayed and floated out, and each player held a wooden pulp and slid desperately.

Shen Dongqing sat in the stern, holding her chin and looking down at the water.

The water was clear, and a white shadow could be seen flashing by, and then one by one faces floated up and surrounded the wooden boats.

The jacket slammed down, smashing open the drowned ghost on one side.

It's just that the number of drowning ghosts is too many. After retreating a part, more will come up. They surround the wooden boat, and there is the sound of wood being gnawed from below.

"Come out quickly!"

Perhaps these creatures sensed that the player was about to leave the island, and they all came out to stop them. The drowned one supported the other, and finally a pair of pale hands caught on the edge of the wooden boat and climbed up with a strong support.

The drowned man stood up, showed a puffy smile, looked at the man sitting in the stern, and wanted to drag him into the water as a stand-in.

Shen Dongqing smiled politely at him and said hello.

The drowned man cracked in an instant.

why is it you again? ?
