Everyone has to keep their ears up and listen to the movement, and they have to concentrate on the ground.

I didn't say anything along the way, but luckily I wasn't attacked by monsters.

The old town in the forest is on the edge of the forest, and after the forest expanded, the roads and houses in the town were severely damaged.

The distance between the houses was wide, but as far as the eye could see, there were trees or stumps, and the roots of the trees were incomparably thick, spreading like blood vessels, and the whole town had been invaded by plants.

The doctor stepped on the edge of the shadow of the tree and whispered, "Here we are, this is Copperkettle Town." Those who survive here are either insane or completely uncommunicative bestials, and we'd better err on the side of caution. ”

"When I used to run a clinic in the town, there were many people who went deep into the forest in search of family or companions, but none of them came back alive. When the town spontaneously formed a militia garrison to find them, they were either irrational savages or incompletely corpsed pieces. ”

Fang Liang suddenly asked, "Didn't you say that the more people there are, the more dangerous it is, why are these people still gathered here?" ”

The doctor shook his head: "If you think those things are still human after seeing them with your own eyes, you can probably understand why they are hiding in the town to survive, they are crazy, anyway, I think so." ”

"As long as we keep a safe distance and don't invade each other, they probably won't come to provoke us, but it's impossible to ask them to help for free, they all have ulterior motives, I don't believe them."

After a moment of stealth, the doctor stopped in front of a building: "This is my clinic, although there is almost nothing left from that looting, but at least it is a relatively complete cardboard box, and we can make do with it all night." ”

Fang Liang was about to take a look, when he suddenly felt something wriggling uncomfortably in his field of vision.

When I got closer, I saw that in the corner of the crooked white wooden fence, there was a large lump of things that resembled animal entrails moving.

Li Xiaoyu suddenly covered her mouth: "What is this?" ”

Seeing that the doctor picked up a branch with a flat reaction, he leaned a little closer, and lifted a piece of meat the size of half a fist, he swallowed his saliva inexplicably, and carefully separated it: "This is 'Parachesh', that is, the heavenly mushroom in the mouths of many soldiers and godstick believers." ”

"Paradise mushrooms?"

The doctor smiled rarely, but his smile looked a little overly obsessive and terrifying: "Yes, the Paradise Mushroom, as long as it can be blended and processed, it can be a great analgesic." ”

Fang Liang frowned: "It sounds like some kind of poisonous mushroom." ”

The doctor nodded: "Yes, if this thing is not handled properly, it is indeed poisonous, for example, if you accidentally step on it, the excess spores and sap it releases are all poisonous, but this toxin can relieve pain and create illusions, so those soldiers and believers always need this kind of thing to tide over." ”

"See? This group of mushrooms beats like a heart, because it is full of hallucinogenic mushrooms, when you see it start to move, when you hear some movements similar to sticky strings, you may have breathed the spores of hallucinogenic mushrooms, and you have been affected by a small amount of hallucinations, really only a trace amount. ”

The doctor said, and finally successfully isolated the small mushroom from the strain community: "Look, it doesn't move this time, right?" ”

"But it will rot quickly, and we can use it to make some disgusting drugs before it completely decays, and if we can release this disgusting smell in the clinic, many monsters will be able to retreat."

"Or make it into a painkiller first, and then use it to make a deal with those crazy people."

The doctor quickly pulled out the key and opened the door of the clinic completely, although the glass part of the door was broken, but as long as it was reinforced with nails and wooden boards, it could also be used as a temporary shelter.

The door opened, revealing vestibules and hallways leading to various rooms, with an unsettling, sticky creeping sound in the hallways that made it seem like a nod to spend the night here.

There were also heavenly mushrooms growing in the corridor, and soon, everyone began to feel sick to their stomachs about this vegetarian meat.

The doctor seemed to be in a much lighter mood: "I'm sorry, but most of the buildings here are wooden structures, and fungi can inexplicably burrow out of wood, and you may not have heard of anyone eating black umbrella mushrooms growing on the legs of a bench, and both eyes are almost blind due to toxins, but this is very common in the backcountry." ”

"To be hungry is to eat, and not many people can resist the never-ending torment of hunger. As the forest spreads and the curse erupts, much of the farmland is destroyed, and it becomes increasingly difficult for hunters to catch enough prey, and according to the old hunters, even the carnivorous beasts will eat the mushroom when they are hungry. ”

"Do you have a map of the town?" Fang Liang asked.

The doctor rummaged under the counter and pulled out a few of them: "Yes, but they are all maps before the expansion of the forest, I suggest you take the map and pen and redraw the areas that can be moved now." ”

"Watch your step, those madmen will do anything to survive, don't trust strangers easily."

Fang Liang nodded, and then began to assign tasks: "That's it, Ah Lazy, the Boy with Glasses, and the doctor stay in this reinforced shelter, I don't want to see mushrooms everywhere in the corridor room when I come back." ”

"Before it gets dark, this warrior and I went to collect supplies and see if we could find out the truth about the curse. If you're too idle to do anything, I need detailed information about mushrooms, curses, monsters, and so on, the more the better. ”

"Well, then your pronouns are really personal, and I promise to take care of these things." The doctor said that he would not speak anymore, he knew that these people were only cooperating with him, and it was impossible to trust him unreservedly.

A lazy and eyed boy? The doctor looked back, he inexplicably felt that the eyes of these people were a little calm, and he patted his face to drive those fearful emotions out of his mind, at least what happened last night proved that these four people were not bad.

Otherwise, just from yesterday's impulsive kidnapping and questioning of them, he would already be a dead person. In this cursed land, it really shouldn't be too simple to kill someone without knowing it.

"They gave me a chance, and I can take advantage of it, and hopefully, we can really have a good time working together."

Fang Liang and Lu Ming acted in pairs, firstly, because they needed Lu Ming's large backpack capacity, and secondly, they needed to take the opportunity to investigate whether there were other players here, as well as clues related to the plot characters.

The core of the perception of the curse is absolutely present here, but how to get there, how to dissect the truth of the curse and its source, is not an easy task.

"So far we haven't found a pattern of curses, but before we know it, the curse must have been planted, and I don't know how many nights that broken clinic can last, and if it's like that every night, the failure rate is very high."

Lu Ming lowered his body and crouched aside: "What are we going to do next?" ”

Fang Liang rolled up the map and stuffed it into the bag: "First confirm the status of the town, starting with whether there are other players." ”
