3: Don't look directly
Xu Zhi didn't plan to open the door, there was no health installation at home, but she didn't plan to get close to the door and see through the cat's eye to see who was knocking on the door.
After all, she didn't have the body to show up even if she could escape.
- Bang bang bang
There was another knock on the door, only this time it was noticeably louder than the last one.
Xu Zhi held the game console tightly in her hand, her heart beat slightly faster, and she didn't say a word, as if she didn't hear the increasingly rapid knock on the door.
It wasn't until the people outside seemed to be sure that she wouldn't open the door that they finally gave up the meaningless act of knocking on the door, and instead said, "I know there are people inside, and we're not bad people, we just want to find some companions to be with." ”
"I'm a student at the High School Attached to Cloud City, and I have a few classmates, I can show you our student ID, now everyone can't go out, and it's not safe to hide at home, why don't you build a base with us?"
"If you don't want to go, you can reply, and we won't bother after that!"
A slightly younger boy sounded outside, his tone was sincere, but the speed was quite fast, as if he wanted to convince the people in the room, and hurried to the next place.
But in Xu Chi's ears, even if the boy was already talking in a roaring way, Xu Zhi still heard a little vaguely, and in some places where the voice was weak, she even had to rely on half-guessing to judge what the boy said, and her hearing had been declining since four years ago.
After waiting for about ten seconds, the person outside the door seemed to know that there would be no response, "Do you think we can't be trusted?" Then let's go first, will you want to talk about it next time you let a female classmate come? Or if you change your mind, come to us! ”
After speaking, it was finally quiet outside the door, Xu Zhi couldn't hear the footsteps of the other party leaving, so he could only wait for a while and still no one continued to knock on the door and shout, before judging that the person seemed to have left.
When the Federation issued an emergency evacuation, it was emphasized that if people inhaled the black fog, it would affect their bodies and minds, and the most obvious thing was that some people became suspicious after inhaling the black fog, as if they had persecution paranoia, and their temper became short-tempered, and they were extremely aggressive, and even their strength increased.
But after careful examination of medical equipment, it was found that the price of increasing strength was that his life was overdrawn, and his metabolism rate became extremely fast, and he would age twice as fast as ordinary people!
The most bizarre thing is that there seems to be some kind of mutation in his brain, which causes him to become emotionally sensitive, and he will go crazy in response to the slightest breeze.
No one can keep their sanity after inhaling an overdose of black fog, and the average person will become more agitated than usual even if they only spend 2 hours in the mist, let alone someone who has been in the city for nearly a week.
Probably, there are no more mentally normal people in the city.
As for Xu Zhi herself, she didn't feel that she was in a good mental state, otherwise how could she want to kill someone?
She clearly knew that something was wrong, and the biggest problem was that she felt that there was nothing wrong with it, and even felt that she had become more relaxed by letting go of some kind of heavy baggage.
Even when the male voice outside the door sounded just now, the thought that flashed through her mind was: If he broke down the door, what could I do to kill him?
Xu Zhi didn't think that there would be any "good person" outside the door at all, and she decided that the boy must have some evil purpose and wanted to trick her into opening the door.
How did he know there was someone in this house?
Are he and his accomplices already eyeing themselves?
Xu Zhi's mind was full of these questions, and she even began to feel that the next time these people came to the door, they would forcibly break into the door and kill her!
"Was I that radical before?"
No, the other day she thought that she wanted to take revenge on her parents, such as letting them live badly, letting her brother experience her life and something like that, but today this idea has slowly become more extreme...
The girl sighed, feeling that if she continued like this, even if she became stronger, she would only become the villain in the story.
However, it is much better to be a villain than to be cannon fodder who died at the beginning of the story.
"Hopefully I can improve my strength and find a way out of here before I go completely crazy."
Now seventy percent of the black fog is entrenched in Cloud City, and only about thirty percent of the rest are spread throughout this world, especially the ground fog of the city is so thick that it is like a black tide, if people are in it, maybe they can't even see the people around them clearly, and the amount of fog inhaled in it is enough to make an ordinary person go crazy.
Under such circumstances, the boy dared to say that he was from the attached high school.
Even if Xu Zhi was sober, it was impossible to give him any response.
But the appearance of the boy reminded her that in this city, the danger is not only alien monsters, but the humans who remain here will slowly become some kind of unknown danger over time.
This made the sense of urgency in Xu Zhi's heart increase a lot, she no longer thought nonsense, but picked up her phone and wanted to upgrade as soon as possible, which was the only thing she could do at the moment.
After the evolution is completed, the strength of the little snake has increased again, and the 50 evolution points that overflowed after eating the eagle are still retained, and the current need to evolve to the next level is 200 evolution points.
[Current Evolution Points: 50/200]
[Your clan has defeated an enemy stronger than it, and its path of evolution has accelerated slightly, but good fortune will not favor you forever!] Each of your choices needs to be a little more cautious. 】
Now, it's time to make a choice again. 】
[1. Look for weaker prey, 2. Look for prey with similar strength, 3. Look for strong prey. 】
This was not an option worth drestling with in Xu Zhi's eyes, and she chose 2 without hesitation.
The little snake in the screen moved again, and at this moment, the already unclear sky outside the window slowly darkened, and it was already night.
This is the first time Xu Zhi has played for so long, she was slightly excited, raised her head and slowly lowered her head for a long time, and sighed that one of the benefits of this game is that she doesn't have to operate it at any time.
As the little snake in the game defeated the prey that was almost the same as his own strength again and again, seeing that the evolution point had reached 180 points, it was ready to be upgraded again, but a line of subtitles jumped out again.
[Approaching midnight, the junction of the past and the future emerges from the void, and the power is scattered in the world, waiting for someone to pick it up, but not now! 】
[Your family is not yet capable of walking in the midnight, please let it close its eyes and sleep peacefully as soon as possible, do not look directly at everything shrouded in the night fog, and do not expose itself to the midnight. 】
[Of course, if you wake up early enough in the morning, you may have something else to gain. 】
[Now, it's time to rest.] 】
[Please choose: 1. Continue to stay and look for prey, 2. Find a hidden place to rest. 】
"Midnight?"
Xu Zhi chose 2 while wondering.
She's not someone to listen to persuasion, not to mention that the game's narrator has been giving her guidance, and it's too early to die.
After waiting for the game screen to show that the little snake had begun to rest, and there was only one [Wake it up] left, Xu Zhi also controlled the wheelchair to prepare for rest.
But when she controlled the steering of her wheelchair and was about to return to the bedroom, her eyes inadvertently swept out the window and saw a scene that surprised her:
At night, the black mist that fills the streets is like a wave.
“......”
Xu Zhi was silent for a moment, she thought, is something going to happen again?
She sat by the window and stared at the black fog for a few minutes, then realized that even if something really happened, there was nothing she could do about it, so she gave up on this meaningless act.
Her body finally began to feel tired, and after the little snake rested, the sleepiness also came over like a delayed reaction, as if someone had slapped her in the back of the head, and if she didn't rest, she would even fall asleep directly in the wheelchair.
That's not going to work, you're going to wake up with a lot of pain.
Adhering to the rotten idea that even if something happened, she couldn't run away now, Xu Zhi even lay on the bed with some peace of mind and fell asleep with her eyes closed.
She was too weak to be in a wheelchair, not disabled, so getting in and out of bed wasn't a problem for her.
The alarm clock was set at 5 o'clock in the morning, and it was close to 12 o'clock at the moment, in other words, sleeping only five hours a day in the past was no different from wanting her life, but now, Xu Zhi inexplicably felt that she might sleep for five hours enough.
- Ding Ding Ding
At five o'clock in the morning, the sound of the alarm clock rang, and not long after it rang, a pale and slender hand stretched out from the quilt to close it, and then Xu Zhi slowly sat up with his hand to support his body, obviously still a little confused, but he had already subconsciously reached out to touch the game console placed next to the pillow.
After seeing the [Wake It] option on the screen, Xu Zhi blinked vigorously to make himself a little sober.
She didn't expect that one day she would play "playing games" so wastefully and forgetting to sleep and eat.
Leaning the pillow horizontally against the head of the bed, Xu Zhi also leaned up, and pressed his fingers on the OK button of the game console.
[Early in the morning, you have awakened your family. 】
[The power that does not belong to this world has just dissipated, most of the creatures are still sleeping, if you are lucky enough, you may be able to pick up something, but there is also a possibility that you will find nothing, if you choose to hunt, you can find many prey that have no power to resist. 】
[Please choose: 1. Look for the midnight retention, 2. Look for the prey]
"Is this the worm eaten by the early birds?"
"No, it's supposed to be an early snake."
There is such a good thing in the morning, it seems that she has to get up at 5 o'clock every day after that.
After thinking about it, Xu Zhi chose 1.
After all, the narrator has hinted like that, although the prey that has no power to resist is also attractive, but Xu Zhi is even more curious about what the midnight strands are?
After pressing the select button, the little snake began to wander around, as if looking for something, it searched for more than ten minutes, and finally, the little snake stopped in front of a strange plant.
It was a black dead branch, stretched out from a crack in the ground, about half a meter high, and not even a single fork, and at the top of the dead branch, a black fruit the size of a man's thumb fell.
[Your luck is really incredible, you actually found it, although its concentration is not high, but it is a very precious existence for you now. 】
Then, the screen lights up with the only option: [Pick it up]
After Xu Zhi clicked, the little snake approached the black fruit, and then the fruit disappeared, and a line of words appeared in the lower left corner of the screen.
【An unknown fruit with low concentration】
[This item has been placed in the player's inventory, press the * key to open the inventory]
"Huh?"
Something new has appeared, and she still has a player warehouse?
Xu Zhi curiously pressed the * button to open the warehouse, the warehouse interface is no different from the backpack interface of other games, and at this moment there is a black fruit alone inside.
When Xu Zhi chose the fruit to put in the warehouse, an option that shocked her appeared in front of her eyes.
【Feed to the Clan: Snake】
【Take out the game】
“... Take out the game? Is that what I understand? ”
Instead of taking out the warehouse, but taking out the game?
Xu Zhi was stunned for a few seconds, then tentatively pressed the option to take out the game, and then...
A black thumb-sized fruit appeared in front of her out of thin air and landed quietly on her quilt.
She actually brought the in-game items to life.
