Plague City.
When I heard the name, I thought of a gloomy, messy, ruined city full of corpses, and there were still flesh-eating zombies hidden in the corners.
But now this plague city is bright and sunny, and you can smell a fragrance.
There are small houses erected in the city, painted in various bright colors, and small animals are running around the city. There are many kinds of animals living here, rabbits, cats, leopards, deer... It seems that the creator, regardless of their living habits, has put all the animals together, like a zoo.
It's also a little strange that even with so many animals, there is still no sound at all.
The plague city was quiet, too quiet.
But now is not the time to investigate.
The group followed the orange cat and walked into an empty house.
The house was unpainted and gray, which seemed out of tune with the colorful beside it.
The orange cat completed the task and left here without looking back.
Someone wanted to grab the cat and ask, but the orange cat was huge but agile, and suddenly got out of the window and disappeared without a trace.
Nine people stood in the hall on the first floor, and those who were irritable couldn't help but scolded a game.
Anyhow, this also gives a clue, okay
Wu Jia picked up the registration form on the table in the lobby on the first floor: "Should you fill in this?"
Suddenly, everyone's eyes turned to him.
A large area of the registration form in Wu Jia's hand was blank, with only one name written on it.
It seems inaccurate to say that it is a name. Looking closely, many names have been crossed out and become translucent. There are only three black characters "Lu Xiaozhen". Looking at the registration form, she lives in room 204.
Wu Jia guessed: "Is it the player from the previous round?"
With so many players, there is only one person left alive.
Someone suddenly made an "ah", pointed to a crossed out name and said, "I know this person. I haven't seen him for a long time. It turned out to be in this copy."
With that said, no one dares to sign on it.
The nine people were divided into several small groups, chatting in a low voice while watching the registration form vigilantly.
They are all old players, and they are more vigilant than new players who are bluffing.
After discussing it for a while, someone decided to sign it, and someone planned to wait and see.
Shen Dongqing held a backpack and asked, "Do you sign it?"
Zhou Wenyan did not hesitate: "Sign it."
It didn't take a moment for the two names to appear in the same grid.
Zhou Wenyan's words were a bit wanton, and the last stroke was long. Shen Dongqing was not very good at using a pen, so he became more and more serious when writing, and the name he wrote was round and round, like a primary school student.
But the two names together are unexpectedly harmonious.
Seeing that the boss had signed it, Wu Jia also signed his name below.
All of a sudden, there are several more names on the registration form.
The building has three floors in total, with the hall and kitchen on the first floor, and six rooms on the second and third floors.
Lu Xiaozhen, who was suspected to be the player in the previous round, occupied one room, and the remaining five rooms were allocated to nine people.
Shen Dongqing and Zhou Wenyan lived in one room, while Wu Jia selected a strange boy by lottery.
When you open the door, you can smell a fragrance wafting out of it, which is exactly the same as the fragrance on the street.
Like a floral scent.
At first glance, there was indeed a bunch of flowers on the table, but I couldn't tell what kind of flowers, they were pink and white, and swaying with the wind, it was quite cute.
As soon as Shen Dongqing went in, he dropped his backpack and threw himself on the bed.
"So soft and—"
He rolled on the soft pillow.
Shen Dongqing was already tired from sitting in the car all the way just now, and now he was slumped into the soft bed, unwilling to even move.
Zhou Wenyan said very indulgently: "Then take a rest first, don't worry."
If others heard what he said, they might have to slowly type a question mark.
In such a dangerous place, why don't you rush
Shen Dongqing nodded, lying on the bed playing with his cell phone. It's a pity that this plague city has no network and no place to charge, so he can only plug his phone back.
Zhou Wenyan walked around the room and picked up a piece of paper that floated to the corner.
Turning it over, it was a newspaper.
Zhou Wenyan blew the dust on it.
This newspaper is a little old, the edges are yellowed, and most of the fonts are blurred, and only bold headlines can be seen.
"Recently, the residents of the city suffered from sudden illnesses, and the hospital beds are in short supply", "The Star Fortune Teller: Fortunetelling, peach blossoms, and the future for you. For details, please go to No. 244 Qiming Road", "Black Cats Bring Disaster? Nonsense! Please believe in science", "Cathedral open to residents every Sunday"...
Zhou Wenyan read it several times, but couldn't get any valid information, so he could only temporarily put away the newspaper.
At this moment, a miserable scream came from upstairs.
is a fellow player.
Shen Dongqing woke up immediately.
Zhou Wenyan said, "I'll take a look, you..."
Shen Dongqing jumped up immediately, showing a very positive performance, raised his hand and said, "I'm going too!"
When the two of them went upstairs to the place where the sound came from, the other players were already crowded in the corridor.
Wu Jia came faster, and had already watched the scene of the crime, leaning against the wall with a pale face. Seeing Zhou Wenyan, he said weakly, "I suggest you don't watch..."
The crowd dispersed.
Zhou Wenyan didn't listen to Wu Jia's advice and walked over to take a look.
A corpse lay on the floor of the room.
No, it can't be said to be a corpse, the whole person is bloody, revealing that most of the bones and internal organs are scattered on the ground, and it is impossible to see the original appearance.
When this happened, the roommates of the deceased were terrified.
Even so, there are people who have been pulling the deceased's roommate to ask questions, for fear of committing the same taboo as the deceased.
"What did you do when you came in?"
"Did you meet something?"
The roommate of the deceased was also confused.
According to what he said, he went upstairs after the rooms were allocated, and he didn't do anything extra. As a result, he went to the toilet and heard the screams of the deceased through the door. He hid in the toilet and didn't dare to come out. When other people came, he dared to come out and take a look.
Zhou Wenyan said coldly, "He didn't register."
According to the dress of the deceased, it happened to be among the group of people whose names were not registered.
Having said that, others also thought about it.
Seeing the tragic state of the deceased, the unregistered people panicked and ran down to register their names.
All of a sudden the people in the corridor dispersed, leaving only a mutilated body.
Shen Dongqing leaned over to take a look.
Zhou Wenyan subconsciously pulled the person over, for fear that he would be scared when he saw it.
Shen Dongqing was not afraid, he even analyzed the corpse: "It should have been bitten by a wild beast."
Zhou Wenyan: "Beast?"
Most of the players died in the hands of ghosts, in strange shapes and in various shapes.
Therefore, no one questioned the death status of the deceased.
Shen Dongqing said: "It may be a wild dog, look at his wound."
Zhou Wenyan looked at the place he pointed, as if he had been bitten by a wild animal to leave such a scar.
wild dog…
Wu Jia murmured, "Where did the beast come from here?"
Zhou Wenyan subconsciously thought of those small animals outside.
Meow-
Outside the window, a black cat leaped lightly over the windowsill.
All the players gathered in the lobby.
Some people are busy registering, for fear that they will become a corpse if they are one step behind, and some people bow their heads and talk about what to do.
"I think I should go and see the player who survived the last round and ask her what she knows."
"But she didn't come down."
"Let's go up and see."
A group of people hurried away.
Wu Jia moved his chair and came to Zhou Wenyan's side: "Boss, I think what they said makes sense."
Zhou Wenyan glanced at him: "Huh?"
Wu Jia said: "Lu Xiaozhen may know some information."
Zhou Wenyan said lazily, "No need."
Wu Jia wondered, "Why?"
Zhou Wenyan: "Because too many people have gone, I don't want to do the same thing as others."
Wu Jia: …
"Then what are you going to do?"
Zhou Wenyan stood up and put his hands in his pockets: "Ask what the player can know? Why don't you just ask the NPC directly."
Wu Jia said tentatively, "Boss, do you understand cat language? When did you learn a new foreign language?"
The guide here is an orange cat. Apart from it, he can't think of any other NPC.
Shen Dongqing's eyes also lit up: "Really? Can you speak cat words?"
Zhou Wenyan looked down at Shen Dongqing, and said slowly, "Meow—"
The cat's meow is very cute, but it is not suitable for Zhou Wenyan.
He is not like a cat, but like a lazy leopard, who can bite the throat of an enemy once he gets serious.
Shen Dongqing tilted his head: "Meow? What are you talking about?"
Zhou Wenyan laughed: "I'm talking about 'stupid'." He rubbed Shen Dongqing's head, "Isn't there an NPC outside?"
Having said that, I remembered.
There is also a little girl registered at the gate of the city.
The place where I live is not far from the city gate, and there are several yellow-yellow-green houses in the middle.
When I came, the city gates were open, but now they are tightly closed, as if they can only enter but not exit.
Just happened to see the little girl closing the stall, she walked quickly with her head down.
Zhou Wenyan gave Wu Jia a look: "Come on."
Wu Jia asked, "Why me again?"
Zhou Wenyan: "There are differences between men and women."
Very good, the reason is very strong, which makes Wu Jia unable to refuse.
He could only roll up his sleeves and step forward.
Zhou Wenyan also warned: "Don't be too rude, be friendly."
He still understands the principle of giving precedence to soldiers.
Wu Jia was right when she thought about it, she held back a friendly smile and stopped in front of the little girl.
Suddenly there was another person in front of her, the little girl was startled, glanced at Wu Jia, turned her head and ran away.
Wu Jia was stunned for a moment: "Am I so scary? I'm still smiling!" He turned his head and signaled with a smile.
Shen Dongqing nodded: "It's scary."
Zhou Wenyan commented: "You are not kind enough."
Wu Jia: "Come on, please demonstrate."
Zhou Wenyan didn't talk nonsense, he ran for a distance directly, took a long leg, jumped onto the balcony of a hut, stepped over again and again, turned over and landed in front of the little girl.
The action is neat and handsome.
"Don't be afraid." Zhou Wenyan gave a kind smile.
The little girl stood where she was, and when she looked back, she was followed by two people blocking the way, all with "kind" smiles.
Wu Jia emphasized: "We are not bad people."
Shen Dongqing nodded in agreement: "Mmmm."
little girl:…
I saw her body swaying, her eyes rolled directly, and she fainted on the ground.
Zhou Wenyan touched his chin: "Are we too kind?"
