Although this unhygienic survivor was quite disgusting, he led the way with a clever way of avoiding all the patients.

Compared with Fang Liang and the others, this survivor directly regarded those patients as corpses, because there was indeed no cure, even if they were killed to help them get rid of them, it would also explode a foul-smelling cloud of toxins.

After all, these patients are really weird, some of them can still maintain their human form for the time being, and the remaining sanity can still allow them to speak.

Some patients have become so sick that they have lost their human form, and the legs are no longer legs from the waist down, but root-like aberrations that spread out like octopuses.

Don't look at these patients who move slowly during the day, and they can't crawl as fast as snails with mushrooms wriggling on their bodies, but at night, the efficiency of these guys' movements will suddenly change, and that's definitely not a joke.

The survivors of Copper Kettle Town are usually in hiding and will only go out in exceptional circumstances.

After seeing outsiders approaching, more than a dozen survivors with their heads covered in rags and only their eyes exposed, turned around one after another.

"There's still a group of people from the investigation team alive, what the hell do those goddamn outlanders want to get from us!"

"Shhh

"They must have caused the disaster, why should they intervene in our lives when we have lived peacefully with the forest for so long?"

Whispering, one after another, Rao is a person with poor hearing, and he can see the bad posture of this person just by his body movements.

The survivor who led the way suddenly stood still, holding up a branch and waving his hand, Fang Liang noticed that his skin had become scaly and cuticle, this person was obviously also a victim of the curse: "Hey, everyone, I found a group of strangers. ”

"Copperpot Town is no longer inhabitable, they want to leave with us, I discussed it with them a little, I want them to come with us. In exchange, they'll be responsible for keeping the team safe with weapons, right? ”

Lu Ming's eyes widened and he whispered, "Hey, when did we say that we were going to waste bullets to protect this group?" ”

Fang Liang looked at the group of people: "Interesting, they were still standing in groups of five and chatting just now, but when they saw us coming, they immediately quietly divided into groups of three." Obviously, they also know the laws of the curse, and they are afraid of monster attacks, and they want to use us as a shield. ”

"We can also change formations at any time, don't worry about this, let's talk to them and see if we can get any information."

After Fang Liang finished speaking, he glanced at the doctor intentionally or unintentionally.

The doctor hid behind Lu Ming, who seemed quite afraid of coming into contact with these menacing locals, who were half an outsider after all.

Although the doctor never took the initiative to offend the locals, he was never able to treat the patients, and even after resigning, the patients continued to run to his home to make trouble, which became the doctor's fault.

Seeing through it or not, Fang Liang and the others acquiesced to the proposal of the survivor who led the way after a little exchange.

The Pathfinder walked in groups of three at the forefront, the Doctors and the four of them attracted attention, and Fang Liang acted as a wanderer, searching for information of interest to him in the group of survivors.

Soon, Fang Liang sensed the subtlety: these survivors, their brains were more or less not very useful, they always couldn't help muttering to themselves, and whenever they wanted to scratch the itch, they retracted their fingers, and only dared to drag the rag-like clothes and rub the affected area vigorously.

Fang Liang took out a pack of looted cigarettes, squeezed out one and handed it over: "Hello, do you want to smoke?" ”

A pair of eye holes in the rags turned: "I don't want to waste matches, but a cigarette may make me forget the itch and pain for a while." ”

Fang Liang silently lit a cigarette for the other party, and then asked about the topic of doctors, intentionally or unintentionally.

The smoking rag head let out a giggle and laughed: "Hahaha, stranger, how can you be so simple, you actually think that quack doctor is a good person worthy of cooperation?" You've all been lied to by him! ”

"Hiss-huh~cough-cough-cough!"

“he——tui！ Ahem, uh-huh! Not! Ah......h

"Well, I almost didn't choke to death from cigarettes, so for the sake of you inviting me to smoke, I'll tell you secretly."

"There's really something wrong with the doctor's brain, since the helicopter his wife and children were flying in crashed on the way to evacuation, and he rushed into the forest alone but couldn't find him, and then he's become that crazy and moody look."

"Actually, this is a well-known thing in Copper Kettle Town, it's no secret at all, and you've been deceived by me, haha...... Cough! ”

Fang Liang was not angry, and when dealing with madmen, he couldn't use normal people's logical thinking to be more serious with them.

While everyone was on their way, Fang Liang was still active at the back of the group, tempting the survivors to ask for information about the doctor.

According to the survivors, the Doctor is an incompetent, mean, and cowardly villain, in line with the character style of the guiding prologue.

But after Fang Liang and others forcibly intervened in the turning point and calmed the doctor's emotions, he became a real doctor who was slightly useless.

"Could it be that the player's interference with the subconscious cognition will also change the performance of the subconscious world to some extent?"

"It's like Lu Ming sharing his sports knowledge in the corridor, it's just a few words of experience, but the effect is as obvious as words."

Fang Liang didn't speak, he put away his flying thoughts and caught up with the four of his teammates.

I don't know much about Fang Liang about Xenoreality, but this game is full of weird hints.

If there is such a hidden setting, in a sense, it can be regarded as a reasonable explanation.

Silent all the way, everyone walked carefully, trying not to touch the traps, trying not to cause movement, these people knew how to survive under the curse of the forest, but never thought about what they really were.

These survivors have absolutely no ill intentions, they obviously know more information, and the words are mixed up to make people guess, but the source of the curse does not perfectly control their self-consciousness, and they are still prone to loss of control at times.

Otherwise, the vacillating and terrible mental state of a doctor would have been taken advantage of by evil and completely reduced to a cursed slave.

Even if there were a way to reach the source of the curse, these people probably wouldn't survive......

No, don't be so subtle, be confident, Fang Liang thinks that these people are already dead.

It's just that the power of the curse source maintains and controls their only remaining sense of self, and then uses dreams to give them action and awareness, making them feel that they are still alive, never doubting whether this strange day and night is normal at a rapid pace.

The truth is cruel, but they are afraid to contact the truth, so they have to stay here.

Like the Medic, he has been torn between despair and hope, and only an outlier can cognitively intervene and change the situation.

Even such a painful and illusory fragile life is, in a sense, immortality caused by a high-intensity curse.

Not everyone is brave enough to give up their lives to find answers, and even if it is painful, they are still afraid of death.

The cursed apparitions that tempt humanity again and again in an attempt to woo the player, the dreamers who sink into it and lose themselves like doctors, the sick or savages who wander the forests day and night, drinking blood or starving to death......

Everything is due to the abuse of the source of the curse, which caused the curse to fall into a state of complete uncontrol, quickly devouring everyone.

Fang Liang returned to the team and did not rush to share his conclusions with his teammates.

Like a patient Grim Reaper, he must wait for the perfect moment to slash the source of the curse with precision and death, so that the nightmare can be cut off once and for all, creating a perfect opportunity for the real survivors to escape.

"Doctor, I suddenly want to ask you something, if you give the right answer, I may have a way to keep you alive."

Fang Liang raised the brim of his hat and slowly approached, the doctor's eyes were once again attracted to him, and he could barely break free from the strange black hole-like gaze.

Fang Liang's faint whisper made the doctor feel like he was walking on the edge of the abyss, and if he was not careful, he would be swallowed by a curse, and he would never recover.

"You...... Afraid of being sober? ”
