- Your defiance gives you +50 active proficiency.

……

Bai Ye rolled over from the drainage ditch, and the wound on his calf stinged like scratching skin.

"Health dropped another 1%."

He had just been kicked by the Keeper and jumped from a great height, losing half of his health.

Now affected by the Bleeding Wound effect, HP is automatically reduced to 49%.

If you don't find a bandage treatment quickly, this bleeding state will always be maintained.

Bai Ye looked up and looked around.

There is a straight road outside the barbed wire, and a bridge can be seen faintly at the end.

"The searchers are suddenly silent?"

Not only could the searcher scold, but even the light of the torches could not be seen.

It seemed that after Bai Ye drilled through the drainage hole, he was equivalent to entering a new level, and any danger that occurred in the old level was isolated.

He got up from the ground and limped to the end of the straight with his stump in tow.

The light here was brighter than in the cornfields, and dim gas lamps appeared on both sides of the road, plastered with mosquitoes and moths.

After a few steps, the sound of a stream flowing reached Bai Ye's ears, and a wooden bridge appeared in front of him.

"Huh?"

At the head of the bridge, a disemboweled corpse sat with its head down, an arrow stuck in its head, and its intestines flowed to the ground in front of him, looking bloody and terrifying.

Bai Ye went up to check it out, and found that the corpse was not dressed like a local villager, and there was a mountain backpack next to him.

Inspecting the mountain backpack, Bai Ye harvested 1 chocolate, 1 note, 1 battery, and 1 roll of bandages.

Chocolate can restore physical strength, and needless to say, batteries and bandages are all urgently needed by Bai Ye at the moment.

The note had a small piece of writing on it, which looked like it had been written in a hurry:

If anyone sees this note, please help me bring a letter to my family.

I can't go back, the terrain here is even more complicated than the labyrinth, and there are a bunch of crazy villagers chasing me, led by a cruel big man who actually shoots me with a bow and arrow.

Damn, the buddies were either killed by them or captured, and I was the only one who escaped.

Oh God, there's no way ahead, I'm probably going to die here......'

Death Flag or something, you really can't stand it casually, and the person in front of you is the best example.

"Archers?"

None of the searchers seemed to know how to shoot arrows.

Isn't it the same gang?

After taking out all the supplies, the mountain backpack actually appeared with an introduction to the items.

【Death Traveler's Backpack】

[Type: Common bag]

[Weight: 30]

[Introduction: An ordinary dark blue mountain backpack.] (Maximum Weight +50)】

The player's initial weight is only 100 points, and if the weight exceeds the standard, the movement speed will be reduced by 50%.

Bai Ye will try to travel as light as possible before entering the game, but picking up props and items in the scene will inevitably increase the load, and it is also more difficult to put the picked up things in the pocket of his clothes, he has long wanted to get a bag prop.

With the backpack on his back, his weight became: 71/150.

……

Next, after recovering 25% of his health with a bandage, Bai Ye continued to walk forward.

After crossing the wooden bridge to the other side of the river, I turned a few more corners, and finally there was a faint light on the mountain pass in front of me.

"There's a village."

While seeing the village, Bai Ye also received a hint for the main quest:

- The main quest 'Escape from the Cornfield' has ended. Rewards: 200 bonus points.

- You have obtained the new main quest 'Lost Teammates'.

Bai Ye was busy fleeing just now, and he didn't have time to check the main quest at all, and he didn't know the name of the quest until he received a prompt now.

He opens the task interface:

Main quest 'Lost Teammates'

'Where are they going to take him?' ’

There is a village ahead, and I may be able to go there and ask for help. ’

Objective: Go to the village to find out the whereabouts of the captured teammates.

"The plot of this game unfolds, so it is!"

Ding Ri was arrested, and it was really because of the plot.

And Bai Ye's choice to escape from the cornfield now seems to be correct.

Since this game is joined as a duo, the basic gameplay must revolve around the cooperation between teammates.

Bai Ye estimated that he should not be able to escape smoothly before he met Ding Ri in this game.

"It is estimated that there will be some levels that require two people to work together to pass."

Bai Ye thought of the walkie-talkie at this time.

He took out the walkie-talkie and adjusted it twice, and said "hey" twice.

But the walkie-talkie didn't work, and only some noise came out of it.

"Okay, we can only move on."

……

The road was thick with fog, and after walking for about ten minutes in the direction of the faint light, a straight dirt road appeared in front of me.

After walking along the dirt road for a few more minutes, Bai Ye could already see some dilapidated wooden houses.

There is a street sign with a bloody handprint in front of it, and the street sign reads: Welcome to the village of Sammington.

After passing the street signs, several corpses appeared on both sides of the road tied to wooden shelves with the words 'blasphemer' engraved on them.

The corpses were decomposed, crawling with maggots, and several scavenging birds hovered overhead, making hoarse and unpleasant calls......

Upon entering the village limits, there was not a single living person on the road.

The whole village was enveloped in a dark and gloomy atmosphere, and the houses on both sides of the road, though dimly lit, were empty when viewed through the windows.

The door of the house was closed, and the villagers who lived in it seemed to have gone out for some reason......

When he arrived here, Bai Ye noticed that this village was actually not backward, and every household was also connected to electricity.

It's just that the illumination range of those electric lights and street lamps has been reduced by the system, so that there are large dark areas in the entire village that are obstructed by view.

"This setting clearly wants players to use DV machines more."

Continuing to walk some distance into the village, Bai Ye noticed that the village was actually built on a mountain, and the innermost end of the village was leaning against a mountain wall, and the outline of a building could be faintly seen on the top of the mountain wall.

"Is that a church?"

Bai Ye looked far away, and vaguely saw the outline of the cross at the top of the building.

At this moment, the rustle of the radio was suddenly heard from a house on the side of the road.

Then a singing voice wafted out of the radio:

'Hallelujah, in the storm, we don't have to wait any longer'

'Hallelujah, dawn comes, and the enemy comes out, dying before the gates of the temple. ’

'Hallelujah ......'

Bai Ye looked into the window of the house, and finally saw a living person in this village for the first time.

The man had his back to the window, and he looked like a peasant woman, dressed in a dirty coarse cloth skirt and a turban.

She was sitting at a table, her head bowed, her shoulders shrugged, as if eating, and the singing radio was playing next to her.
