The electricity is maintained, the commotion in the darkness is continuing to wane, and the strange feeling of being surrounded by cold is gone.

But the monsters weren't gone, they still roamed the room, scraping and hissing tables, chairs and benches.

Disturbingly, they were in a posture of turning over boxes and cabinets, and there was the sound of objects being knocked down in the attic, and even the sound of wooden sticks rubbing on the ground, but there was not a single sound of footsteps in the whole house.

No, not only indoors, but also outside the building, there were no discernible footsteps.

How do they get upstairs, how do they act, what do they really look like?

The only sounds that could be picked up by human ears were the trampling of branches, the rustle of things passing between grass and bushes, and no footsteps, but everyone knew that it could never be the wind.

Fang Liang and the others didn't dare to gasp loudly, lest they trigger the law of killing or the hunting instinct of the monsters, but they didn't dare to fall asleep carelessly. They must ensure that there is a vigil in case of a monster invasion that may appear at any time.

Fang Liang made a gesture, gently picked up a thick wooden plank, and whispered in a low voice: "Lu Ming, now I will keep vigil with you, and the others will save their energy and rest well, and replace the two of us in a while." ”

Everyone nodded silently, Lu Ming was mainly responsible for defense, and Fang Liang was responsible for monitoring fuel resources.

The night wasn't over yet, they weren't out of danger yet, whether it was a curse or a monster, and running around in the dark was almost a dead end.

After all, Fang Liang didn't grasp the curse on his body, and he didn't know what the situation would be when this curse came back.

The fuel dial of the generator quietly crossed the 0.5 large grid scale, gradually moving towards zero under Fang Liang's gaze from time to time.

The night gradually calmed down, and all the strange movement disappeared completely, except for the rustling night breeze that blew through the forest.

Between the gaps in the wooden planks of the window seals, it is no longer the pure black, but a dark red that gradually becomes clear.

This dim and strange dark red, which grew brighter and brighter with the beat of a certain heartbeat, suddenly became extremely bright and dazzling when it crossed a certain limit node, Fang Liang raised his arm again, trying to block this strange bright light that could blind.

The dazzling light, flourishing and declining, dissipated in an instant.

The light that penetrates into the room through the cracks turns all the scenes into yellowed old photographs, and thin rains fall silently. When you look closer, you can see that the rain on the ground is fluctuating, and the dew drops on the blades of grass are not converging into a stream of water or puddles.

When the day dawned, it was not the gods who were supposed to raise their heads and feet, and the sunlight could only dispel part of the darkness.

Li Xiaoyu stretched out her hand, trying to tentatively catch the rain, but this strange scene quietly faded.

The generator rattled and ran out of fuel a moment later, and it seemed that the night was shorter than the doctor had ever encountered.

"What's going on?"

Fang Liang and the others untied the knots on the doctor's feet, considering that he was a little dishonest and his mental condition was not good enough, the doctor's hands were still in a state of restraint for the time being.

The doctor held his hands in his hands, straightened his glasses with a rope, walked to the window and said in a daze: "I have also encountered a strange scene caused by a curse, and we should seize the time of the day to make the next preparations." ”

"Why?" Li Xiaoyu opened his eyes and asked, for some reason he was not sleepy at all, nor did he feel hungry, he read the same information from the eyes of the other 3 people.

"Because the days are always short, even the strongest sunlight at midday cannot penetrate the shadows of the depths of the forest. I don't have to lie to you with this kind of thing, no matter who you ask, their answer is the same. ”

"Last night wasn't a quiet night, it was probably the forest warning you invaders, we had better make sure this house can survive a second attack, or we'll have to keep it busy."

The doctor propped himself up, not complaining about his hands still being tied, but quickly approaching the door, apparently afraid of the operating room, and he really didn't want to stay in the strange room unless he had to.

Pushing open the door, the scene in front of me was somewhat shocking.

The living room, which had been sealed, was now in ruins, the wall that had been pierced by the strange arm had almost been reduced to coal chips, the wardrobes and cupboards had been scattered to pieces, and a large number of tree roots had gushed out of the ground and taken over the walls.

Dark green or blue-black sticky material covered the walls, and the damp bubble wallpaper seemed to be crawled by some kind of giant slug, and the viscous bubbles reflected the figures of the five people like the eyes of the eradication.

The doctor's home has been completely abandoned, and they can't stay any longer tonight, so they need to hurry up and run away during the day.

"Looks like we'll have to go to town, if it's not already swallowed up by the forest." The doctor said.

Lu Ming stood patrolling the courtyard wall with a hammer in his hand, although he didn't find any clues about the monster, he found that there was a car full of mud in the crushed courtyard wall: "Can your car still work?" ”

The doctor looked embarrassed: "I'm sorry, although this is a luxury for us, but since the forest began to spread explosively, all roads have been staged, and this car is not of much use." ”

"And because of the fuel shortage, I've drained the fuel inside, and I can't drive it even if there is a road."

Lu Ming: "Then how do we take the generator away?" There is no electricity, no light, no way to stay overnight. ”

The doctor shook his head, "I can't take it with me, but before you arrived, there were still a lot of sneaky investigators who broke into the towns outside the forest, and if they plan to keep watching, they should also have shelters deployed." ”

Lu Ming glanced at the doctor, his gaze always made the doctor feel afraid: "You know them well?" ”

The doctor took a timid step back: "No, I'm just angry that they used to just wait and see from the outside world and refused to give support. If they survive the curse of the forest, they will definitely be prepared to take refuge. ”

Li Xiaoyu interjected and asked, "Then why don't you go to the town to ask them for help?" ”

The doctor just looked at them helplessly: "A bunch of unlucky ghosts, haven't you figured out the current situation?" We're almost finished, those people are only here for their own purposes, and the outside world has already used the forest to implement a total lockdown to stop the curse from spreading, and those investigators will definitely not help. ”

As he spoke, the doctor lowered his voice and looked carefully from side to side, not as if he was pretending: "There are monsters during the day, but they usually hate the sun, as long as we don't sink into the forest, it will be safer." ”

"Then bring the working guys, and we'll talk as we go."

"Okay, okay, I'll listen to you, as long as you can get me out of here."

In no more than 10 minutes, the four of them looted all the remaining supplies from the house.

The doctor's savings were not much left, and each person could carry all the supplies with a backpack.

The doctor led the way, Fang Liang observed the surrounding environment, beware of monster raids, and of course continued to communicate behind his back.

Li Xiaoyu took the lead in throwing out the question: "Did you find it?" In the gamer panel, we've had a lot of shrinkage in backpack space. ”

Lu Ming casually activated the player panel: "Yes, my backpack space is still free 20 bars, as long as it is in the backpack, it will be automatically determined to enter, aren't you?" ”

Li Xiaoyu was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly opened the panel to check: "Then why do I only have 8 squares?" ”

Fang Liang and Cao Zhengfei glanced at each other, and said in unison: "12 grids." ”

Cao Zhengfei closed the panel: "It may be distributed according to the player's real physique and weight-bearing ability, and similar settings occasionally appear in other games, but in "Xenoreality Real", it seems that the player's template changes with the dungeon. ”

Fang Liang looked behind him, the doctor's abandoned house had gradually disappeared into the shadows of the forest: "The dungeon restricts the player's ability to loot and carry resources, it seems that while investigating clues, we still have to find a way to loot resources." ”

Lu Ming thought for a moment and said, "We worked in pairs, one group of people kept an eye on the doctor and the shelter, and the other group was responsible for the looting and investigation. Li Xiaoyu's backpack is too small, and it may be better for him to be in charge of logistics and guarding the house. ”

Fang Liang crossed: "12 squares should be the average physical fitness data of ordinary players, so let's rotate the two free men?" ”

Cao Zhengfei turned around and wondered, "Don't, can you expect Lu Ming to play reasoning?" I still play the old rules to assist, you take the lead in investigating and exploring, Lu Ming and I can replace each other, and Li Xiaoyu will be better in charge of logistics. ”

"It's okay to group it that way." The four who knew the basics quickly came to an agreement.

Suddenly, the doctor let out a scream, startling a large group of crows.

Fang Liang's heart suddenly rose to his throat, firstly because the doctor suddenly shouted, and secondly, because he didn't notice that there were so many coveted eyes in this forest.

Are these crows waiting for them to die?

The four of them sped up and took a look, and it turned out that the unlucky doctor had stepped on the trap.

The doctor was sweating, I don't know if it was pain or fright, he kept shivering and muttering: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm very sorry, it's really dark here, my eyesight hasn't been very good, damn it!" ”

"Your leg injury is a bit serious." Fang Liang took off his backpack and reached out to touch it, and he touched the medicine bottle accurately.

The doctor gasped and shook his head desperately: "No, no, it definitely didn't hurt the bones, just use alcohol to detoxify, and then treat it with bandages and painkillers, I won't be a burden, you, you won't leave me in the forest, right?" ”

Lu Ming's cheeks squatted and exerted force, and in less than 3 seconds, he broke the trap, Li Xiaoyu picked up a branch and stuck the trap, so that the doctor could smoothly pull out the leg.

"Anyway, the supplies are on us, untie his hands and find him an improvised crutch."

"Everyone is concentrating on walking, and they all use sticks to find their way, and it is not a joke to step on a trap."

The doctor rubbed his numb wrist, and Li Xiaoyu had already helped him treat the wound simply: "I'm really fine, it's just a little painful, don't run too hard, I'll definitely be able to continue to lead the way." ”

Cao Zhengfei picked up the trap, played with it a few times and stuffed it into his backpack: "Hmm, it should be a bear trap made by some people, the quality is not very good, otherwise your leg should be gone, there are other people here?" ”

The doctor wiped away a cold sweat, and he let out a long breath with a slightly higher hairline: "Thank you for trusting me, it's just that this is a long story, we had better get to the town before dusk, and we will talk slowly when we have the chance." ”
