Qianyue felt that she was being targeted, but she had no evidence.

The previous player had bought something and left, so there was no way for her to verify the price with others, and she couldn't stay here and wait for the next person to come.

Qianyue thought about it and asked cheekily, "Can I get a discount if I buy more at once?"

Duobao Merchant: "The price is clearly marked, no bargaining."

Qianyue was not giving up: "Then a small gift or something would be fine, right? It's for big customers."

The other person glanced at her and simply stopped talking.

Qianyue waited for a long time but didn't get an answer. She knew that there was no hope at all, so she had to start calculating carefully.

The most expensive items sold in the toolbar are tents, sleeping bags and the like, but for Qianyue, she doesn't need these things at all.

She picked out a bucket that no one wanted and bought the last knife.

But when it came to basic supplies, Qianyue started to have trouble.

The item she was most short of at the moment was food, so before coming, Qianyue planned to buy as much black bread as possible.

But looking at the black mask on the Duobao merchant's face, and thinking about the low-profile version on her own face, Qianyue couldn't help but be a little absent-minded.

Masks will be very important in the next few days, but the previous players did not seem to realize this, and there are still a lot of masks left in stock.

However, masks of this level will probably be of no use in the later stages, and it is easy to end up with a waste if you buy too many.

There are only 300 or 400 yen left. How should I allocate it?

Qianyue was struggling, but the shopping page was closed the next second!

Qianyue:?

The Duobao merchant stared at her coldly, as if he was looking at a pervert.

"Today's trading ends early!"

He picked up his things and was about to leave. Qianyue was stunned and hurriedly chased after him, "Hey, what's the end? Aren't they still not sold out——"

She reached out to pull the man's sleeve, but he turned around so gracefully that Qianyue grabbed his flying ponytail!

“…”

Qianyue felt that the way the other person looked at her now was as if she was looking at a dead person.

The Duobao merchant said expressionlessly, "Player 3873 attacked the system NPC. This action has been recorded."

Qianyue had a headache: "It was really just a misunderstanding! If you hadn't left so quickly, I wouldn't have pulled you!"

"Can I just take up two minutes of your time? I'll buy the remaining things."

The existence of Duobao Merchant is to provide players with a shopping channel, so after Qianyue triggered the keyword, the shopping window popped up automatically.

Qianyue was afraid that he would close the market again if they disagreed, so she quickly selected the black bread and masks and bought them without even counting the quantities.

"Okay, I'm done."

The other party ignored her and prepared to leave again.

Qianyue carefully recalled the events leading up to the man's change of expression and asked uncertainly, "You didn't think I was going to do anything to your mask, did you?"

The man paused.

Qianyue didn't know whether to laugh or cry. "I don't have any special fetishes. Why should I always care about other people's clothes?"

The Duobao merchant turned his head and looked at her coldly. Although he didn't say anything, the expression on his face said it all.

Qianyue said helplessly: "I'm just thinking about how many masks to buy. This kind of mask is not durable at all."

She paused, then suddenly asked, "Are you a real NPC?"

The Duobao merchant froze, lowered his eyes and said, "Wrong command, unrecognizable."

Qianyue exclaimed, "It seems not—then you can record the players' feedback, right?"

The Duobao merchant said sternly, "Please go to the forum for feedback. I'm only responsible for buying and selling items."

This official tone was completely different from his reaction in the previous conversation.

It seems to be just a bionic intelligent NPC.

Qianyue said to herself, "Although this design looks good, it won't fit the world setting in a couple of days. I suggest asking the artist to replace your gas mask with one that covers your eyes."

Duobao Merchant: “…”

Qianyue: "I'm serious!"

The man still had that expressionless look on his face, and it was unclear whether he understood or not.

But Qianyue had finished speaking.

She picked up her bucket - because her backpack was filled with too many stones, her newly bought brown bread had to be temporarily placed in the bucket.

"I'm leaving first."

She waved to the Duobao merchant, walked a few steps, and suddenly said, "By the way, your hair is well maintained!"

“………………”

The man clenched his hands holding the suitcase slightly, loosened them after a while, and disappeared on the spot with a cold face.

02:22:19

The sky is gloomy.

Song Zeyang was walking alone in the jungle. The long run made him feel dizzy due to lack of oxygen, but he didn't dare to stop at this time.

There were other voices coming from behind——

"Where did that guy go?"

"That direction! I just saw it!"

"Damn, how can you run so fast..."

Song Zeyang: He wants to ask too!

We have been chasing him for almost half an hour. How can these people run so fast!

"That guy has valuables on him. We can't let him get away. Keep chasing him!"

The movement behind him was getting closer and closer, but Song Zeyang felt that he was about to reach his limit.

Behind him, there were at least three or four people chasing him. After several rounds of chasing, even if he was in good physical condition, he could not bear it anymore.

what to do?

Just when he was at a loss, he suddenly heard the sound of water.

There is water!

Song Zeyang's eyes lit up.

In the wild, it is not a smart move to rashly approach a water source, but rather quite dangerous.

But from another perspective, as long as he can lure this group of people over there, maybe he can use other animals to successfully escape!

Song Zeyang ran while turning back and shouting: "You can't catch me! Forget it——"

Before he could finish his words, he was suddenly tripped by something and Song Zeyang fell forward uncontrollably!

"Wow!"

The dead leaves on the ground suddenly collapsed, and then he fell into the pit!

Oh shit!

Song Zeyang was stunned.

Who dug a trap here for no reason?

As if it had heard his thoughts, a head popped up above his head the next second.

The other person's face was covered with a funny black cloth, revealing only a pair of black and white eyes. He looked like the funny villain in the movie who did no good.

The next second, the villain said with disgust: "Why is it you?"

The sky darkened at noon and there were already signs of volcanic ash spreading.

Therefore, after buying things, Qianyue decisively returned the same way and returned to the vicinity of the water source.

After a while, volcanic ash will fall in large quantities. Although this stuff is good for soil fertility, it is like smog for the human body, with no benefits but only harm.

Therefore, Qianyue started collecting stones since yesterday, planning to build a house by herself.

The location was chosen to be near a water source, one reason being food availability, and the other because a large amount of water was needed during the construction process, and Qianyue was too lazy to run back and forth.

"But it's quite dangerous near the water source. You never know when you might be attacked. To be on the safe side, it's better to dig a few more traps first."

Unexpectedly, there was movement shortly after the digging was completed.

What I didn’t expect was that the person who got infected was someone I had seen before.

Song Zeyang in the pit quickly shouted at her: "Help! Someone is chasing me!"

Chase?

Qianyue thought about it, picked up a shovel, shoveled a pile of dead leaves and threw it at him.

"Then you should stay down there."

Song Zeyang, who had eaten a mouthful of leaves, said: "..."

Qianyue didn't know what the other party was thinking, and she didn't intend to expose her existence to save people.

Fortunately, this trap is not difficult to make. Just put a few pieces of wood on it and cover it with some leaves. When the group of people catch up, they can only see an ordinary forest.

"Where are the people?"

"Is he lost?"

"How is that possible? I saw him running this way with my own eyes."

The three of them were arguing, but another, calmer voice said, "Let's look for him again. He shouldn't be able to get far. Maybe he's hiding nearby."

This man seemed to be the leader of the group. After he finished speaking, the others began to search honestly.

Hearing the footsteps going back and forth near him several times, Song Zeyang hid in the pit, not daring to breathe.

“No.”

“I haven’t found anything here either.”

"There seems to be some sign of human activity over there, but it's just a pile of rotten rocks."

"That's nothing. There's a slope here. Maybe it was shaken here by yesterday's earthquake."

Song Zeyang: “…”

Although he didn't know why he was collecting stones, he felt that they belonged to that woman - so where did she go? Would she be found?

Song Zeyang couldn't help but feel a little worried.

She looks quite fragile, so I'd better not get her into trouble.

At this time, the leading voice said again: "He probably ran away. There is still time. Go and catch up."

"yes!"

Several people responded quickly, and the footsteps gradually faded away.

Song Zeyang subconsciously breathed a sigh of relief.

But the thing above his head was not moved away, and he still couldn't get out. He could only continue to wait patiently while getting into shape.

He looked at his character attributes and found that his physical strength had dropped by half due to running.

The health value is even more exaggerated, almost reaching the red line, and is followed by a status: [Respiratory Infection]

[Respiratory Infection]: Due to poor air quality, respiratory infection occurs, the character's mobility decreases, and health points continue to decrease.

Is the air quality too poor?

Thinking of the gloomy sky he had seen before, Song Zeyang's heart sank.

It must be because of the volcanic ash.

It seems that masks are very important in this game - when he thought of this, the image of a woman with a black cloth covering her face unconsciously emerged in his mind, and Song Zeyang couldn't help but shook his head with amusement.

Although it is a bit funny, I have to admit that the other party is a big shot who can think of this.

but……

Did the boss forget about him here?

Why haven't you come to move things yet?

Song Zeyang waited for another two minutes, until he was almost unable to hold back and wanted to call for help, when suddenly the voice of the previous leader came from above his head again.

"It seems it's really not here."

Holy shit! He didn't leave!

Song Zeyang was immediately startled, and a cold sweat was about to fall. It was almost there, but fortunately he didn't call for help just now - so is this person really gone now, or is he bluffing again?

Song Zeyang subconsciously held his breath, and the next second he heard a "whoosh" sound outside, followed by a "plop", as if something fell into the pit.

Qianyue couldn't wait to jump down from the tree, stretched first, then walked to the trap, picked up her ice pick, and said unhappily.

"I say, it's enough to use the same trick once. It's already dark and you still haven't left. Aren't you too slow?"

Her house isn't finished yet!
