"There are many secrets in Flying Squirrel Town, and it takes too long to explore them alone. If you're still thinking about it, hurry up because it's getting dark. The woman in white said this quickly, looked up at the sky, the sky was bright and beautiful, and she showed an anxious face.

"Qualified person No. 54211, an invitation to form a team is being issued to you. After forming a team, bind the character information, team members can't hurt each other, can't disband or regroup, task items, unlocked maps, and the number of clearances are shared by the whole team, do you accept the request?" At this time, Evan also received an invitation to form a team.

"Accepted. ”

He saw that there were so many benefits to forming a team, so he no longer hesitated.

"Nice to meet you, you can call me a man-eating flower. ”

Seeing that he accepted the invitation, the woman in white relaxed her expression, and after quickly introducing herself, she pointed to the middle-aged man and the strong man behind her: "The code names of the two of them are White Bear and Seal respectively." ”

"Just call me Iron Hand. ”

Evan saw that they were all codenames, so he took one casually.

"Well, then we know each other, come with me before dark!"

The "man-eater" beckoned to him, then turned and took a step forward, running to the fork in the road where they had come before, and "White Bear" and "Seal" followed closely behind, and they did not dare to delay for a moment.

Although Evan thought it was strange, seeing that they were in such a hurry, for the sake of his own safety, he followed not far away.

......

A thick mist flowed on the fork in the road, as if a heavy veil had obscured the road, and the occasional soft breeze blew to lift the corner of the veil.

The alley is so narrow that it can only be walked side-by-side by two people, and it is more like a gap between two rows of buildings than a road. There was an eerie silence on the road, empty and without any living creatures, and on the left and right were residential-style tube buildings, which looked like they had been deserted for a long time.

The four of them ran down the alley for five or six minutes, and suddenly turned into one of the houses, which was no different from the other buildings, and the style was also an old and backward barracks-style cylinder building. "Cannibal" took out the key to open the door, and after everyone entered, she held the door and observed for a while, making sure that no one was following, and then quietly closed the door.

In the dimly lit room, the surroundings were almost completely dark, and only a few bits of sunlight spilling into the room through the deciduous windows, coupled with a hint of artificial fluorescence emitted by the computer, barely maintained the visible view of the room.

Although the outline was a little blurred, Evan could tell that it was a bachelor apartment with a bedroom, living room, and kitchen all crammed into one place. A white mattress is laid underneath, a dark yellow light bulb hangs over it, and a variety of weapons are displayed in the middle part of the limited space, fully showing off the chaos of the room.

After returning to their stronghold, the strong man and the middle-aged man sat down and began to tinker with weapons, and the other leaned down in front of the computer desk and lit up the standby screen. And the woman in white sat on the mat casually, saw Evan's strange expression, smiled and explained:

"I know you have a lot of questions, and I can answer them all now, but be careful not to attract other qualified people. There are not many rooms that can live in Flying Squirrel Town and can still provide electricity, don't look at the small rooms, but it is very rare to have electricity, water and Internet. ”

"In this kind of place, there is water, electricity and internet...... What's the point?" asked Ivan as he sat across from her, confused.

"Every newcomer asks that, if you don't run into us, if you spend a few days in town, you know the importance of water, electricity and internet. ”

"Man-eating Flower" smiled and raised his index finger, raised it in front of his nose, and said with a serious expression:

"Do you think that the invisible space is really a pure spiritual world? No, our consciousness enters another time and space, and then is given a new form there. We are alive here, hungry, tired, and dead, so we need a place to rest, water to cleanse our bodies, and a channel for information exchange. ”

"We ...... Is it alive?"

Ivan recalled how he had tasted the juice earlier, and nodded involuntarily.

"Not only are we alive, but even the city itself is alive. ”

The woman in white suddenly lowered her voice, glanced at the suddenly dim sky outside the shutter, and explained carefully:

"The time of day and night here is half an hour, and we only have the time to move safely during the day, and if we go out at night, we will be attacked by the whole city, and the survival rate is almost zero. The way out of the town is through the museum in the center of town, where there is a door that leads to the fourth stage of the trial. But entering the center of town requires the consumption of a Rotten Heart, and then passing through the overwhelming ghost colonies. ”

"So you're all failing?"

Evan glanced at the rotten heart in his hand - he didn't expect this thing to be so valuable, and it was really unseemly.

"Qualified people like us, who have failed several times and can get out of the way can be regarded as an outlier. The strong man nicknamed the seal lay on the mat, playing with the ring in his hand and laughing lazily at himself.

"Because of the importance of the rotten heart, and the fact that you can increase the base spirit by killing people, the veteran has a very bad attitude towards newcomers. Don't look at the bad attitude of the Flash Leopard, among the many qualified people, he is a relatively mild type. ”

When he said this, "Cannibal Flower" narrowed his eyes, and his fingers unconsciously tapped the mat, as if recalling something unbearable, and was silent for a while before gritting his back molars and saying:

"The worst of the people are completely amused by slaughter, the men are better, and the women fall into their hands...... It is better to die under the minions of ghosts. ”

"How much time do we have, or how long can we stay here?" Ivan asked suddenly.

"I don't know, I've been here for more than half a year. She shook her head.

"I'm eight months!" the seal said, pointing to the tip of his nose.

"I've just arrived on my hundredth day. The middle-aged man followed.

"So if we can't beat Phase 3, we're going to stay here forever?" Ivan continued.

"If you hadn't been killed by a veteran, and hadn't died on the way to clear the customs, you would probably have lived here all the time. The woman in white bowed her head slightly, agreeing with his speculation.

"In that case...... Isn't that Shylock forcing us to kill each other?"

Evan tightened his eyebrows, looked at the eyes of the "man-eating flower", and said with a gloomy expression: "If you don't have enough strength, you can't pass the museum, and in this ghost place, the only way to improve your strength is to kill people." ”

The room fell silent, and none of the three responded positively, acquiescing to his words.
