Chapter 34: The Origin of Pollution (3) His eyes are very dark, it is time...

As the guiding NPC, Fei fully demonstrated what it means to have a good temper and answer every question, the terrifying strength of being afraid but able to knock out pollutants with a single punch, and the human-computer responses that are better than saying nothing.

The last point is particularly vivid, like when Shi Yu screams in shock at the sheer amount of pollutants: "Ugh, there's so much pollutants around the shelter! Won't we be eaten before we even get in?!"

Fei calmly said: "Well, that's possible."

Shi Yu: “…?” What do you mean? Are you trying to give yourself away? Are you some kind of liar?

Shi Yu: "I think we'd better not..."

Before he could finish his words, the person next to him suddenly pulled down the hood of his cloak and rushed forward without a word. Shi Yu's heart leaped. Just as he was about to go and help, he saw the seemingly frail NPC kick over the pollutant.

The pollutant was even as high as two NPCs stacked together, and the worms that fell to the ground were still crawling.

The blade, held between slender fingers, pierced the monster's massive body. The cold silver light brought out the bright crimson blood. It was incredibly sharp. He stepped back, avoiding the tragic splatter of blood.

After dealing with several pollutants in a row, he stopped, walked back, and put on his hood again.

The man's appearance was very plain, nothing memorable about him. Even if you met him several times, you might not recognize him. When he closed his eyes, his thin eyelids covered the distinct black and white of his eyeballs, but he opened his eyes again when he got closer.

His pupils were very dark, the same black as Shi Yu's brother's eyes in her memory, and just as silent, absorbing all the light from the outside world thoroughly, yet making people feel fascinated and deeply immersed. These eyes were so unique that they were out of tune with the rest of his face.

Shi Yu felt for no reason that his original appearance should not be like this. These eyes should appear on a face with deep features.

"It doesn't matter now." He forced a friendly and warm smile, and his dull face suddenly became a little more lively. "We can enter the shelter now. Let's go."

Shi Yu, who witnessed the other party's explosion of pollutants, said: "..." No, the combat power of the human NPC in this ghost story is so high? ?

[I'm going to violently clear the scene, Brother Fei, are you really not going to consider acting it out? Whose NPC is killing everyone indiscriminately?]

What does it mean that eyes are the windows to the soul? Even if Fei Ge changes his appearance, his blue eyes will never dim. The essence behind them will always be irreplaceable and dazzling, and the confidence that only he possesses cannot be extinguished.

[The old thief just drew a picture and blew the chef out. The teacher would say, "I'll eat more."]

Fei led his men into the lobby. The office building's power supply equipment had long been damaged, so they could only take the stairs. They came to the parking lot and finally stood in a corner full of boxes.

Shi Yu looked at Fei, who stood motionless beside him, in confusion. Just as he was about to ask him where the door to the shelter was, Fei nodded towards the boxes. Shi Yu silently moved away and said, "The entrance is right here, but we have to move the boxes first."

Understanding the implication of his words, Shi Yu resigned himself to his fate and stepped forward. Fortunately, he didn't have to do any hard labor; Su Yang had already used silk thread to pull open the wooden boxes. The door to the underground shelter appeared before him, and Fei took out a key-like item from his backpack.

He didn't have the key to the shelter, but there was a prop in the panel that could open all the doors. It was easy to fool them. Fei turned the key and opened the door.

Stepping onto the dark stairs, he turned sideways and politely invited the guests who needed shelter more to enter first.

After walking up the seemingly endless stairs, the view finally brightened. The corridor leading to the interior of the shelter was extremely spacious. The wounded and the rescue teams walked by one after another. Many people saw Fei, who had taken on an identity, and hurriedly saluted and left.

"Come with me." A woman in medical uniform came over. After checking the current pollution levels of several people, she looked at Fei and said, "Didn't you just go out? Why did you bring back a few more people so soon?"

Fei followed her words very smoothly: "Well, I happened to meet them nearby. I'll go to the ground later."

The medical officer in charge of examining the wounds and contamination shook his head and pointed to the other side of the passage. "The Operations Team you helped earlier just rescued a few people. Their leader said they need you. You should be in that room."

When Fei heard this, he said goodbye to Yu and the others and went to the room she pointed to. He knocked on the door.

"You're here." The person who opened the door was Xie Jianshan. Fei greeted him politely. When he was welcomed in, he saw Chen Que who was mixed up in the executive department. This person seemed to have fallen into his old habit of trying to make connections and get information.

Shen Que noticed that the person coming was Fei, and his actions were faster than his thoughts. By the time he remembered that his friend was now an NPC in the shelter, he was already standing in front of him. For a moment, he was in a dilemma.

Su Fei saw Chen Que glance at him in a particularly arrogant manner, and then took the unopened water bottle from Xie Jianshan's hand, "How did you know I was thirsty? Thank you."

Fei: “…” Quite smart, but I really want to hit him.

Xie Jianshan: "...It's okay."

Xie Jianshan tilted his head and asked Fei: "Do you want some water?"

"No need." As an unlucky NPC whose water was stolen, Fei remained calm. "When I came back, I heard someone say you were looking for me. Is there something important?"

Xie Jianshan didn't beat around the bush: "You used to work at the research institute. Do you have the key to the central control?"

This means they are going to investigate the source of the pollution. Upon hearing this, Fei immediately switched to the fixed language mode unique to non-player characters. Xie Jianshan's words seemed to have triggered some plot mechanism, and the pale and thin man poured out a lot of words without blinking.

"Yes, I worked at the institute for a long time. This pollution accident was caused by a failed secret experiment. Most of my colleagues were unfortunately assimilated into the pollutants. I took the key to the central control system during the chaos."

Xie Jianshan listened carefully to the entire string of nonsense, fearing he might have missed any details. He listened until the last sentence, and only then did he grasp the information he was looking for. "We need the key to the central control. Could you give it to us?"

Fei refused without thinking: "No."

Xie Jianshan tried to save the situation. He began to persuade her, "You want to stop this, too, don't you? We will find out the real source of the pollution and eliminate it. Afterwards, we will return the key to you."

Fei just repeated: "No."

Xie Jianshan, who felt troubled, said: "..."

Xie Jianshan, with a serious expression, began to think about the possibility of bribing the NPC. Shen Que stood nearby and chatted with the members of the executive department. On the surface, he seemed to hear nothing, but Ke Fei clearly saw that the corners of his mouth were raised.

Fei told the man in the communication channel to act more realistically with an expressionless face, or he would throw him out of the shelter if he laughed again.

Shen Que chose to turn his back to him and pretend that he knew nothing.

"I know you don't want any more unnecessary sacrifices, and we're prepared." Xie Jianshan was still trying to change people's minds. He persevered and changed his words, "Someone has to go to the institute and find a solution to this disaster."

Once again, he received the same answer: "No."

Xie Jianshan guessed that he had missed something. In the content analysis of the new copy on the ninth day that Bai Bei had sent him before, the NPC clearly stated that the key would be handed over to the player soon.

A flash of inspiration made him suddenly remember the line of prompt that he had carelessly overlooked at the time. The researcher holding the key would appear as a guide to help the player at the first moment, and he would definitely appear before the player clashed with the pollutants.

Only then will he give the key to the player.

Because he can't see the player chopping down the pollutants, otherwise he won't give the key to the player.

After he brings the player to the shelter, he will go out to rescue a few more people until he is exhausted. Then, exhausted, he will take the initiative to give the key to the player and go to the ground to end his life.

He hated what was happening, but also hoped that someone with kindness would be able to put an end to the pollution.

——Because his sister was one of the victims in the experiment that caused the pollution outbreak, he hoped that person would not kill all the experimental subjects. Just a little mercy would give his family a chance to survive.

"...Is it because of your sister?" Although he wasn't sure if she was still alive, Xie Jianshan could only promise first. They really needed the key. "If I see your relatives, I will try to bring them back to the shelter."

"Can you show me a picture? I need to know what she looks like."

The non-player character in front of him slowly raised his head, a suppressed sadness revealed on his face. His facial features and emotions were all equally dull, and the pain accumulated in his dark eyes looked particularly empty, like a walking skeleton.

"No more." Xie Jianshan heard him say, "I can't return to my home on Earth. My phone was broken while I was fleeing. I... I can only rely on writing to tell you everything."

"I want to go with you."

He murmured to himself over and over again: "Yes, I have to go with you..."

Xie Jianshan felt something was not good. The man's mental state seemed unstable. He wanted to speak out to stop him, but the other party had already turned around and left while muttering about getting the key.

Xie Jianshan, who reached out a step later, said: "Uh..."

Chen Que had anticipated the direction of this plot. Due to Fei's sudden burst of acting skills, he was stunned for a moment. After recovering, he began to cooperate with his friend from the side, "It's okay, Captain Xie. If you are worried, I will help you watch him later."

Xie Jianshan always felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't put his finger on it. He frowned and thought for a moment, then thanked Chen Que: "Then thank you for your help."

"It's a small matter." Shen Que waved his hand generously, "Don't worry, he will be fine."

As he said this, Chen Que turned around and said to Fei in private communication: "I told you to let me handle it. Look at the result, he still has to thank us."

Fiji:【……】

Fei: [Don’t lie, you’ll end up screwing people over.]

Chen Que: [Don’t worry^^]
