The cell phone rang loudly, coming from above their heads.

Feng Chuchu's face changed drastically.

Why did Huang Wei’s cell phone ringtone… come from upstairs

What does the neighbor upstairs who never shows up want to do

The most important thing is, how did Huang Wei get up there

Is he still alive now

He was a cowardly person to begin with. Ever since he entered the first alien world and started his first mission, he had been relying on other people to survive. Because he was sensible, obedient, and did not show mercy when it was time to take action, he had lived safely to this day.

He wanted to survive, but even Huang Wei, who had brought him all the way here, was dead. Could he really survive

He Lou and the Li sisters might help him because they only have a few team members left, but will they really save him

Maybe... can they survive

Feng Chuchu stood there blankly and did not hang up the phone in time.

After the phone rang four times, it beeped and the call was connected.

"Hello? Who is this?"

Feng Chuchu began to tremble all over, and her face turned as pale as paper in an instant.

This voice, this voice belongs to Huang Wei.

If he had a glimmer of hope that Huang Wei would survive, now, that little bit of hope had vanished without a trace. He hung up the phone almost the moment he heard the call.

"Are you going to talk or not? Who are you? Who are you looking for?"

"Speak!"

Huang Wei's questioning voice still came from the other end.

Why didn't you hang up

Feng Chuchu didn't dare to speak. He frantically tried to hang up the phone and turned it off again and again, but it was no use. The screen was still on and the voice was still coming from the other end.

Please, hang up quickly.

Hang up!!

Feng Chuchu had already taken out the battery. He threw the phone to the ground and jumped on it to stomp on it, but it was no use. Huang Wei's voice still came out, getting louder and sharper.

What should I do? What should I do

"Speak? Who are you?! Speak quickly! Or I'll come after you!"

"Who are you? I'm coming to find you!"

Feng Chuchu rushed into the bathroom, threw her phone directly into the toilet, closed the lid and flushed it.

Now, it won't be able to find me, right? It definitely won't be able to find me.

"Who are you... I'm coming to find you..."

"I I I I want to come come come come find find find you you you..."

What made Feng Chuchu despair was that the sound similar to that of a rusting machine kept ringing in her ears, lingering.

Why? Why is it still haunting me?! Why me

I just made a phone call, why didn't you find Lu Yanli

Yes, why not find Lu Yanli

Obviously, he was there too.

As if possessed by a ghost, a bold idea suddenly popped up in his mind. Feng Chuchu suddenly calmed down, wiped the tears that had appeared on his face, opened the bathroom door, and walked out.

Lu Yanli was still standing in the living room. When he saw him coming out, his eyes were filled with concern. But his expression did not show any warmth in Feng Chuchu's eyes, who knew that she was being targeted by a ghost and would soon die. Instead, it was extremely glaring. Before Lu Yanli could say anything, he had already rushed over and grabbed the other person's collar.

"Tell him who you are." Feng Chuchu didn't dare to speak and could only silently hint with her mouth while raising the knife in her hand.

"Hurry up, or I'll kill you."

Lu Yanli widened his eyes in shock and kept struggling.

Feng Chuchu had completely fallen into madness. He tightly grasped the opponent's neck with one hand, leaving a slight gap for the opponent to make a sound. With the other hand, he held a knife with the tip of the knife hanging above Lu Yanli's eyes. It was trembling with excitement, making people doubt whether he would accidentally stab him.

But he couldn't care less. Wouldn't it be better if Lu Yanli was blind? He was just an NPC, so they just needed to use him.

As long as Lu Yanli couldn't help making a sound, he could survive.

What clues? What remaining value? He is going to die soon. Is it wrong to want to survive

The soul-stirring sound continued, getting louder and sharper. Feng Chuchu took a deep breath, "Hurry up!" He urged silently.

Despite the loud noise, He Lou and the Li sisters did not wake up. There were only the two of them in the empty living room. The place they were standing on was exactly where Lu Yanli sprinkled glutinous rice on Huang Wei when he turned into a zombie yesterday. There were still some black marks on the floor, as if it had been burned.

Although someone had a knife pressed against his eyes, the fear on Lu Yanli's face slowly disappeared. The stupid expression he had always had faded away bit by bit, and was replaced by an expression that was consistent with his face and was particularly unfamiliar to Feng Chuchu - cold and superior, like a god watching a few small ants fighting.

"You..." Feng Chuchu didn't dare to speak, her eyes full of fear.

The malicious smile on Lu Yanli's lips grew bigger and bigger. He pulled down the wrist of Feng Chuchu, who had an incredible look on her face, and pushed her back hard. His strength was too great, and Feng Chuchu had no ability to resist and was pushed to the ground.

Then, Lu Yanli approached him step by step.

At this moment, how could Lu Yanli still look like a good guy

It's no exaggeration to say that he is a madman!

Feng Chuchu had come to his senses, and was terrified, trembling and backing away. He still had the knife in his hand, but he had no courage to fight with the other party. The former squatted down happily, and every time Feng Chuchu struggled to back away, he patiently moved forward a little, pressing forward step by step, and forced the man into the corner. , A shadow was cast on the other party's face.

Lu Yanli carefully straightened Feng Chuchu's collar. At the end, he smiled gently at Feng Chuchu and spoke silently with his mouth.

"Go, die—"

The next moment, Feng Chuchu's hand holding the knife was pulled up by Lu Yanli and stabbed hard into his own thigh.

"ah-"

Feng Chuchu screamed and immediately realized that something was wrong.

"I found you."

A hoarse and cold voice came from upstairs.

He Lou struggled to wake up from his dream. He groped for his cell phone in a daze and checked the time. The remaining tiredness immediately disappeared without a trace.

What happened? He actually slept for so long? !

He Lou got up in a hurry, dressed and went out to see that Lu Yanli was fast asleep on the sofa. He opened the doors of the two rooms and saw that Li Fangzhi and Li Fangwan were still fast asleep, and the other room... was empty.

What's going on? Where are the people

A chill suddenly surged through He Lou's heart. He turned and left the room, waking up Lu Yanli who was sleeping on the sofa.

Lu Yanli opened his eyes drowsily, his voice still hoarse from sleepiness: "What's wrong?"

"Wake up! Have you seen Huang Wei and Feng Chuchu?"

Lu Yanli suddenly opened his eyes wide and sat up immediately: "What's wrong? Are they gone?"

"Yes, it's gone." He Lou said, "and it's already twelve o'clock noon." Even if the noise upstairs made them sleep late last night, it is impossible for them to wake up now.

"How, how could this happen?" Lu Yanli's throat was dry, and he didn't know what he was thinking about. His face was as pale as paper. "Where will they go?"

"That's right. I wanted to ask you. You were sleeping in the living room. Didn't you hear it?"

Lu Yanli shook his head blankly.

"Will they, will they..." He didn't dare to say the word.

He Lou was silent, closed his eyes tightly and did not answer.

This was only the second day of the mission, and out of the fourteen people, only three were left. No matter how cruel it was in the past, there would always be a protection period in the first two days, so more than half of the team would always stay.

What exactly is wrong

What went wrong

"Then, where are the two girls?" Lu Yanli asked hurriedly.

"They are still sleeping in their room."

Lu Yanli seemed to have found his backbone and breathed a sigh of relief: "I'll go wake them up."

Looking at his back, He Lou had a curious look in his eyes.

Does it have anything to do with him

Lunch today was even quieter than the previous two days.

He Lou is not a talkative person, and Li Fangzhi is taciturn. Originally, Li Fangwan would adjust the atmosphere at any time, but now she has become inexplicably cold. Therefore, Lu Yanli was the only one at the dinner table trying to ease the atmosphere. After saying a lot of dry words and no one responded, his voice became lower and lower, and he slowly shut up.

After lunch, Lu Yanli cleared the dishes on his own. He Lou leaned against the kitchen door and looked at him carefully.

Soft-hearted, cowardly, stupid...but lucky enough to be alive today

Lu Yanli felt a little uncomfortable being stared at by him. After quickly washing the dishes, he turned around and asked him, "Brother Lou, what's the matter?"

He Lou said casually: "Not yet, but don't you need to go to work?"

"Ah?" Lu Yanli scratched his head. "Because you guys are here, I asked for leave from the company."

"Well, let's go to this building and ask after dinner. By the way, how many residents are there in this building?"

Lu Yanli had no objection to the first half of the sentence, but the second half stumped him: "I don't know about this either."

He Lou said: "Then we will go door to door to ask for clues. Remember, you must be sharp and find out their abnormalities."

Lu Yanli nodded and agreed.

He Lou couldn't help but doubt him when he saw that he looked a little silly, but there was nothing he could do.

Now there are really only three of them left. He Lou must find a way to win over some NPCs for his own use. Although these people look like them, they can cry, laugh, have emotions, and have their own lives.

However, they are not from the same world anyway, so why should we sympathize with them? The best we can do is not to kill indiscriminately, because the dead may also become evil spirits, but it is impossible for them to consider the lives of NPCs and even protect them.

"Before you leave, tell us what you know."

A building has nine floors, and each floor has four rooms. Li Fangzhi and Li Fangwan started from the upper floors and were responsible for floors nine to five. He Lou and Lu Yanli were responsible for floors one to four.

This is an extremely risky method. Their task is to live in the apartment for a full week, which means that there must be something wrong with the apartment. But they have no other choice now. The number of people has dropped sharply. If they can't find the reason, they will inevitably face the end of annihilation.

Around two o'clock in the afternoon, He Lou and Lu Yanli took the elevator down one floor and stood at the door of Room 101, ready to knock on the door.

After the elevator went down, Lai Fangzhi took Lai Fangwan by the hand and waited for the elevator to come up, and then took the elevator to the roof.

She habitually counted the seconds to calculate the time. When the elevator reached the top floor, Li Fangzhi stepped out of the elevator. She felt something was wrong. She recalled it carefully and suddenly her eyes widened.

It turns out that they all overlooked a very important issue, and this issue may be the key!
