Chapter 4: Mental Hospital, weak and pitiful but able to eat.jpg...

Eh?

Why can’t I suck it up?

Gu Rong held the silver straw in his small hand and turned it over and over to examine it. Before he could figure out what it was, he met the eyes of a male player who was staring at him with a puzzled expression.

He looked at Gu Rong, then at the straw in his hand.

Male player: “…”

Did he just stick a straw in his head?

He touched the place where he was inserted. It didn't hurt, but it was very strange. Why did they stick a straw into his head for no reason?

Is his head milk?

Zhuang Yu watched the whole thing and his right hand shook unconsciously.

He said that the concentric circle marks on the back of his hand were not an illusion. Judging from the situation, they were probably made by the kid using a straw.

What is this kid going to do?

Something is wrong. Something is totally wrong.

But I can't tell what's wrong.

Not only Zhuang Yu and the player whose head was stabbed were confused, but the audience in the live broadcast room were also confused.

Before, Gu Rong used a straw to poke Zhuang Yu's hand back, and then tried to poke Lin Xuezhuo's hand back. Now it was the third time, and the more he watched, the more confused he became.

[Wait, does everyone understand? ]

[I don’t understand, I don’t understand at all]

[Is there anyone who understands baby talk and can translate this for me?]

[Hahahaha, I think this cub mistook the player's head for milk or a coconut or something. Is it just starving and confused? [Reward points]]

[Don't tell me, don't tell me, I was saying that he was so neat, what's that? He's just inserting milk, right?]

[Milk, coconut, haha ​​...! [Reward points]]

[Do you really think he wants to drink Niu Niu? Don't forget, no matter how cute this cub looks, it's still an NPC in a horror game!]

[…What a great guy, coaxing the child here!]

——The suspected spoiler barrage is only open to the audience——

The player whose head was stabbed: "..."

Okay, that’s enough!

He already felt that his head was not a head, but a drink for this cub.

But, he was rewarded with points for just being interrupted? Is that funny?

The player's name is Chen Hanxiao, he is sixteen years old, a minor, with thick eyebrows, big eyes, red lips and white teeth, a boyish and feminine appearance, not very tall, but with extremely beautiful facial features.

Shen Hanxiao stood up straight, crossed Gu Rong's small body with both hands, lifted him up, and looked at him viciously.

Gu Rong failed to suck blood and was caught instead. His little face was confused as he looked at the little brother in front of him.

The little hand holding the straw was kept behind the back, for fear that the evidence of his crime would be seen.

Shen Hanxiao: "..."

Okay, okay, now you’re scared. Why weren’t you scared when I stabbed his head just now?

Shen Hanxiao looked at such a cute cub, he was not angry, just curious.

"Hey, kid, what are you doing sticking this broken pipe into my head?" He gestured to his head. "Does my head taste good?"

Gu Rong was suspended in mid-air. He carefully examined his head, nodded, shook his head, and said honestly, "Phuket Island."

He had never drunk human blood before, so he didn't know whether this kind of human blood tasted good or not.

Shen Hanxiao: "..."

Shit, he actually dared to nod and say he didn’t know.

But, this little baby voice is so damn cute.

Shen Hanxiao is a furry lover and usually doesn't like children very much, but the child in front of her is soft and chubby, looking very cute, almost like a furry pet.

He immediately thought of teasing the child: "Little devil, I specialize in eating children. I can eat one like you in one bite."

Gu Rong had seen many mutants in the apocalypse, and had witnessed cannibalism with his own eyes. He had heard from Shen Hanxiao that some mutants specialized in eating children, and he was a child.

Struggling to get off, she said in a small voice, "I don't want to eat Rongrong! I don't want to eat Rongrong!"

Zhuang Yu couldn't bear it anymore, so he walked over, grabbed Gu Rong and held her in his arms.

He was half a head taller than Shen Hanxiao and glared at him coldly.

Gu Rong was also someone who could judge the situation well. As soon as Zhuang Yu held him in his arms, he immediately put his soft little arms around Zhuang Yu's neck.

Shen Hanxiao spread his hands innocently and smiled: "Don't be nervous, it's just a joke."

[Chen Hanxiao wants to eat the cub, Chen is bad, Zhuang Yu protects the cub, Zhuang is good.]

[Chen Hanxiao is such a bitch! The cub is so cute, how can she eat it? Come to your auntie's mouth, ah!]

[This is hilarious! This is the first time I've seen players almost fight over an NPC, and the key is they don't even know it themselves.]

——The suspected spoiler barrage is only open to the audience——

After the little incident of Gu Rong sticking a straw into his head, the previous solemn atmosphere was broken.

The patient NPCs in the cafeteria have all turned their gazes away and focused on eating their own meals, no longer looking at the players with gloomy eyes.

The players breathed a sigh of relief.

Zhuang Yu held Gu Rong in his arms, picked a seat, and sat him down. He then looked at the number on his wristband and said, "3416... What's your name, kid?"

The number that lit up on Zhuang Yu’s bracelet was 3415, one place ahead of Gu Rong.

Gu Rong obediently let him check her bracelet and said crisply, "My name is Gu Rong, big brother."

Zhuang Yu smiled knowingly when he heard him call him "Big Brother": "Then can I call you Rongrong?"

Gu Rong nodded his little head: "Yes, the cub's name is Rongrong."

His name is Zaizai, also called Rongrong.

Zhuang Yu smiled and said, "Rongrong, please sit here first. I'll go get some food."

Gu Rong patted her belly and said, "Rong Rong, go!"

What he meant was that Rongrong wanted to go too.

Zhuang Yu said, "Watch our position and don't let anyone else take it."

Gu Rong was an obedient child, and immediately hugged the table with his short arms: "Rong Rong, please take your place."

Zhuang Yu thought he was really cute, smiled, and turned around to get his food.

Shen Hanxiao was sitting next to him. He had quickly brought back a bowl of porridge, some buns, and a bottle of milk.

He poked Gu Rong with his index finger: "Little ghost, how old are you? Have you been weaned?"

When Gu Rong saw the child eater coming, his face turned pale, and he moved back with his arms hugged, without saying a word, trying his best to keep a distance from him.

Shen Hanxiao raised an eyebrow and poked his soft little body again.

Gu Rong sat on the seat with her little feet dangling in the air and her butt moved back, away from Shen Hanxiao.

Shen Hanxiao thought the kid was really funny and wanted to poke him, but Zhuang Yu came back after finishing his meal.

Gu Rong immediately hugged Zhuang Yu's thighs, finally regaining some confidence. He turned around and rolled his eyes at Chen Hanxiao, snorting: "I don't want to eat Rongrong!"

Shen Hanxiao: "..."

Shit, he even rolls his eyes.

This kid is so humane... Bah, he's just young, not stupid.

After all, Gu Rong was surviving in the apocalypse when civilization was collapsing, so rolling his eyes was no problem at all for him.

It can be said that he can politely thank everyone and call them by name when he sees them, which is already the ceiling level of quality in the end times.

Shen Hanxiao handed the milk over: “Little ghost, don’t you want to drink milk? Brother will treat you to milk.”

Zhuang Yu also took the milk and wanted to say that it was not necessary because the child was still young and could not drink so much.

Unexpectedly, before he could even finish his words, Gu Rong had already taken the milk with both hands, his expression changed in an instant, and he said obediently, "Thank you, little brother."

Zhuang Yu: “…”

Shen Hanxiao: "..."

Shen Hanxiao was stunned for a moment, then pounded the table and laughed.

Instantly attracted the attention of dozens of patient NPCs.

Shen Hanxiao forced himself to stop laughing: "I'm sorry, fellow patients, I'm a little crazy, and I came in because of this uncontrolled epilepsy."

Patient NPC: “…”

Shen Hanxiao was not polite and sat down directly opposite Gu Rongzhuang Yu at the same table.

Zhuang Yu glared at him.

Shen Hanxiao was shameless and touched Gu Rong's small back head. He was bribed with a bottle of milk. This child was really easy to coax.

Gu Rong swung his legs, held the milk in both hands and drank it, his little face full of joy.

You can’t drink milk in the end times, and you’d be lucky if you could get a nutritional supplement every ten days or half a month.

But Gu Rong was born with a good appearance. After turning into a little zombie, his physical data was enhanced, and his appearance doubled. He also had a round head and a round brain, and his arms and legs were round and tender like lotus roots.

Despite being often hungry, this little zombie cub still managed to stay so fair and tender, which is probably due to his good genes.

Although round, the overall figure is not fat.

006 said: [Little host, a new mission has arrived. Please accept the new mission.]

[Task: Please scare a random player before midnight tonight.]

[Success reward: 50,000 points.]

[Failure penalty: None.]

Gu Rong: [Ah!]

006: [……]

Okay, that's very smart.

There were no failure penalties for the first two small tasks, which could be considered a benefit for Gu Rong as a novice. 006 had fought hard to get it for him. If it were someone less adorable, he wouldn't have gotten such a good thing.

Gu Rong quickly drank up the milk and looked at the food prepared by Zhuang Yu with shining eyes.

The food in the cafeteria is pretty good, with good color, aroma and taste.

But there is one strange thing, that is, they are all vegetarian, with no meat or fish.

Shen Hanxiao got steamed buns and porridge, Zhuang Yu made rice with scrambled eggs with tomatoes, a serving of egg custard, and some fruit salad.

Milk and eggs are the only two foods that have anything to do with meat.

Shen Hanxiao took a bite of the bun and frowned: "Oh my god, how come even the buns are made of small green vegetables? This hospital doesn't practice vegetarianism, right?"

Zhuang Yu picked up some of each for Gu Rong, put them on another plate, and placed it in front of him.

Gu Rong picked up the spoon and started eating by himself. Although they were all vegetarian, the little guy had switched to a vegetarian diet a long time ago because he couldn't afford the "staple food". He was not picky about food and still ate with relish.

Shen Han smiled and said, “Do you want to buy this little brat a small bib from the system mall?”

Zhuang Yu is a new player, but the audience just gave him a lot of points because of Gu Rong's appearance... Of course, in Zhuang Yu's view, it was because of his good looks that they gave him the rewards, but no matter what, it was more than enough to buy a small bib.

Zhuang Yu bought a cute little bib with a strawberry pattern.

He tied it around Gu Rong's neck.

Shen Hanxiao burst into laughter again: “Hahahaha, damn, why don’t you have a neck, little devil?”

Gu Rong stretched his neck as far as he could: "Baby, you have a neck!"

Shen Hanxiao compared it with her hand. It was only two centimeters, almost the same as nothing. Because Gu Rong's face was chubby, it looked like he had no neck.

Zhuang Yu was more understanding and suppressed a smile, saying, "Rongrong is still young, and his neck hasn't grown yet."

Children's necks are relatively short. They will grow longer as they grow older. At the beginning, they are indeed as good as nothing.

Gu Rong got angry and hugged the little arm and said, "Pinch the neck here, you big idiot! Can't you see it?"

Shen Hanxiao: "..."

Zhuang Yu: “…”

This time, it was Zhuang Yu's turn to laugh out loud, which immediately attracted the attention of many patient NPCs, and even other players frequently looked over here.

What the hell are you doing? You've already entered the dungeon, your life is hanging in the balance, and you're still so arrogant?

What's so happy?!

Zhuang Yu pointed at Shen Hanxiao and explained to everyone, "I'm sorry, his epilepsy is contagious. I'm afraid I'm starting to have a seizure too."

Shen Hanxiao: “…” Shit.

Everyone: “…”

Gu Rong, wearing a small bib around her neck, ate all the food on her plate, patted her belly and said, "I'm not full!"

Zhuang Yu and Shen Hanxiao were both surprised at Gu Rong's appetite. This little kid actually had a pretty big appetite!

Zhuang Yu served Gu Rong another bowl of porridge, and Shen Hanxiao gave him a bun.

Gu Rong's little baby teeth made him eat slowly, but he enjoyed the food very much. Chen Hanxiao and Zhuang Yu put down their chopsticks unconsciously and focused on watching the little cub eat.

After finishing his porridge and buns, Gu Rong touched his stomach and said, "I'm not full."

Zhuang Yu: “…”

Shen Hanxiao: "..."

Is this a bit too much? Are you sure you won’t feel full?!

[Weak and pitiful but able to eat.jpg]

[The kid only ate a little bit, don't make a fuss!]

[Little one, do you usually not have enough to eat? Poor little one, even this bland soup is so delicious! [Reward points]]

[No, I'm telling you, if you like this little one, why are you giving tips to players? No matter how much you tip, it won't go into this little one's pocket, and it's just giving the players a free ride.]

How could this be for no reason? NPCs don't have livestreams, so how can they see the cub without using the player's livestream? Just for letting me see the cub, I have to give you a [reward point] at least.

[That's it [reward points]]

——The suspected spoiler barrage is only open to the audience——

Both Zhuang Yu and Shen Hanxiao received a lot of rewards.

The two looked at each other.

Well, appearance, it’s definitely because of appearance.

"ah--"

At this moment, a male player screamed and struggled in pain, knocking over tables, chairs and food, and finally convulsed on the ground.

He pinched his neck with both hands, seemed to be in extreme pain, his face was purple and swollen, his eyes were rolled back, he could not utter a word, and could only make hissing sounds.

The bracelet on his wrist has the number 3410.

Everyone was shocked and didn't dare to step forward. Zhuang Yu was even quicker and picked up Gu Rong.

The player struggled in pain for a while, and suddenly, with the sound of "stab-pull", several curling and wriggling tentacles broke out from the holes in his facial skin.

The mouth, face, eyes, and head are all covered with octopus tentacles.

These octopus tentacles are alive, curling in the air like dancing and twisting little snakes.

The male player stood on the ground, motionless, as if dead, but at his feet, a few octopus balls rolled down.

The bracelet on his wrist suddenly changed from light purple to light blue, and then quickly dimmed and turned gray.

“…”

Seeing this scene, everyone's face turned pale with horror.

They all looked at the bracelets on their wrists and breathed a sigh of relief when they saw that they were still glowing with a lavender light.

Will the bracelet turn gray when the player dies?

The colors of the player and NPC bracelets are also different. The player's light is light purple, and the NPC's light is light blue.

Just now, the color of player 3410's bracelet changed from light purple to the NPC's light blue, and then to gray.

This means that before his death, he first transformed into an NPC and then died instantly.

The players' faces turned pale, and some of the timid ones even cried.

They carefully examined the food in front of them again.

Fortunately, they didn’t eat octopus balls, but are other foods safe?

Today it’s octopus balls, tomorrow it might be something else.

wrong!

The entire cafeteria is vegetarian, so where did the octopus balls come from?

The dead male player had become a petri dish for the octopus. The octopus' tentacles quickly absorbed nutrients from the player, becoming more and more fresh and plump, as if they had drunk a lot of blood, waving and wriggling even more happily.

Others were terrified, and some players induced vomiting on the spot.

Gu Rong's face was confused and he couldn't see anything clearly.

His eyes were filled with mosaics, and the mosaic pattern was actually a Q version of Ultraman.

Even though Gu Rong is an NPC, the child is still young and must strictly abide by the 18+ rules.

Gu Rong pointed with her little hand: "Ultraman!"

Zhuang Yu didn't hear clearly: "What?"

At this moment, the huge cafeteria suddenly became quiet.

At the entrance to the cafeteria, the dark figure of Sister Ishmael appeared.

Behind her followed Lin Xuezhuo and Jie Xiu.
