Spring City Mystery 4
At this moment, Yan Ke heard the sound of quarreling, and Nan Yu directly dragged Yan Ke to the corner.
"It's all your fault. Just for money, you ruined our entire family's lives." The woman's sharp complaint came, and one could clearly hear the grievance and fear mixed in her tone.
"Xiaoliang died in the dungeon world of that weird game because of you. You're able to come back alive. What else are you dissatisfied about? I saved your life."
The girl continued to yell hysterically: "I might as well die in there. Look, everyone has turned into monsters and is dead. Are you satisfied?"
The boy also said helplessly: "Nana, I love you, and I didn't expect there would be such serious consequences. Let's leave Quancheng together, okay?"
"Hahaha, they're all dead, that's good, they're all dead!!"
Yan Ke in the corner frowned. Judging from the conversation, these two people should be the surviving players.
"Where do we go next?"
Nanyu asked Yan Ke.
Yan Ke replied: "Since the car is gone, but the fog has faded, let's find a place to rest."
Except for that popular temple, the rest of the city was well built, but it was forced to become desolate because of the coming of fog.
Yan Ke rode on the electric bike which still had about 30% of its battery left. "On the way here, I saw that people in several chain hotels had turned into tentacle monsters. We should be able to get the room card from the front desk. The fog in Quancheng has dissipated, and we don't have any means of transportation now. Why don't we stay here for a few days and see how it goes?"
Nan Yu nodded. If they really didn't have a car, they couldn't walk to the next city. It would take forever. Now all the vehicles on both sides of the road were locked. Yan Ke didn't have the skills in this area. Now they could only let things take their course and make a decision based on the situation. It didn't matter what Yan Ke did. The key point was that Nan Yu was by his side now, and he couldn't let Nan Yu ride a bicycle to the next city like him.
Moreover, it is unknown how long the crown ring on Nanyu can help Yan Ke maintain his human form. He is now carrying a backpack with not much stuff in it, just to prepare for a rainy day so that he can carry Nanyu away when he transforms into a calico cat.
After Yan Ke took a look at the place where the quarrel came from, he rode away on the shared electric bike with 29% battery left.
The corpses that have mutated into tentacle monsters can be seen everywhere, weathering away bit by bit.
Why did so many ordinary people in Quancheng not evacuate? When the two arrived at the hotel, they saw the dried corpses of tentacle monsters everywhere in the front desk, lobby, elevator and corridor. Some of them still retained some human features, which made them look even more cruel and terrifying.
The reason for coming to this hotel was that Yan Ke saw that the hotel light box was still on. It should be because a generator was used.
Yan Ke took out several room cards from the front desk. Some of the cards did not show the room number, so they should be universal room cards. However, Yan Ke still swiped the room cards on the computer, so that the two of them could enter the room smoothly.
Yan Ke also took some instant noodles and other foods. Under the current circumstances, the two could only eat these things. Yan Ke thought about finding the location of the generator and then seeing if the kitchen could still be used.
Nan Yu did not say anything, but asked curiously: "Is this all right?"
Yan Ke nodded.
"We are staying here for one night to see what's going on. The tram is out of power. I just found a car key at the front desk. When I have time, I'll go see where the car is parked."
Nan Yu nodded and followed Yan Ke into the hotel. The interior of the hotel was not dim at all. The decoration of the lobby and the front desk was grand and bright, and the corridors were also cleaned spotlessly. If there were not many corpses of tentacle monsters lying on them, the environment here would be considered above average.
The sunlight shines through the windows onto the gray-white floor tiles in the corridor, and you can see that it has been designed with great care.
Because of the tentacle monster's corpse, there was always a strange smell lingering in the air. Yan Ke got the room in the middle of the top floor. There was no reason for it, but he was afraid that if there was someone there, they could hide themselves as soon as possible to ensure their own safety.
The situation outside is now very bad, because Yan Ke discovered that there are more and more corpses of tentacle monsters in this area.
Yan Ke knew that some of these tentacle monsters might have been transformed from innocent people, but their deaths were caused by the dissipation of the fog.
But Yan Ke was helpless. He thought of his family and friends and turned on his phone. Sure enough, the messages from friends and family were still there. They were in a safe place, and the talisman that Yan Ke had mailed to them could ensure that they could escape if they encountered danger.
Then he took another look at Mu Ning's message: "Are you in Quancheng? Brother Mo, your talisman and props are very useful. Are you still planning to sell them?"
Nanyu took the room card handed over by Yan Ke and swiped into a room. There were two corpses of tentacle monsters on the bed. Then Nanyu closed the door with disgust and picked up other cards to continue swiping. The rest of the rooms were empty. Nanyu picked a room that he was quite satisfied with and went in. Then he saw Yan Ke replying to messages.
Nanyu naturally grabbed Yan Ke's arm and walked into the room. The decoration of this room was simple and elegant, and there were even many smart appliances.
"This hotel is good. Yan Ke, you made a good choice. It looks much better than the other hotels."
Yan Ke replied to Mu Ning: "The fog in Quancheng has dissipated."
Mu Ning quickly replied: "I won't reveal your identity. Now that the number of players of the weird game is gradually increasing, the rewards of the weird game have become the focus of official attention. I want to protect the safety of my comrades and family, but my clearance rewards are very small."
"Those spells are not rewards for clearing the game. I drew them. As for the other props, I have limited supplies, but I really don't need most of them. However, the situation in Quancheng is very complicated, so the items cannot be mailed over."
Mu Ning replied, "Brother Mo, I understand. Your willingness to contact us shows your trust in us. Don't worry, we won't reveal any information about you unless you volunteer. The rewards for the last instance are also generous, but the quantity is scarce. Li Heng and I have agreed to say that we are giving out rewards for clearing the instance."
"Okay, actually you don't need to explain so much to me. The situation is complicated now, and the fog is spreading everywhere. Many people in Quancheng are hoping for the best and have not left. When I came out of the weird game, many people had turned into tentacle monsters. I didn't notice this before, but I want to let you know, because you and Li Heng are both official people, so it's better to report this kind of thing."
Mu Ning was also surprised that there were still people who held on to the hope of getting away with it and did not leave. The key point was that they turned into tentacle monsters. Yan Ke spoke in a normal tone about the reality that made Mu Ning shudder.
"Okay, I will find a way to tell the authorities about this useful information. Brother Mo, you are indeed a good person."
Yan Ke was inexplicably given a nice guy card, and was helpless: "You should discuss this matter with Li Heng. I know that the official is now recruiting players from the weird game to deal with the fog, but the fog is not that simple. It is fatal to the people in this world, especially now. These people in Quancheng died because of their lack of knowledge about the fog. I hope the official can explain the harm of the fog in the news. As for the materials, I can take pictures for you."
"Okay, Brother Mo, this matter is of great importance after all. I will report it, but your presence will soon be exposed."
Yan Ke said, "I'm just one of the players who is destined to be with you. There's nothing special about me."
Mu Ning nodded: "I understand, Brother Mo, after Captain Qu Cheng's sacrifice, meeting you is our greatest luck."
Yan Ke said that Mu Ning was making a big deal out of nothing, but Mu Ning knew that although Yan Ke's personality seemed cold, he was actually a person who clearly distinguished between gratitude and resentment, just like the heroes in the martial arts novels that Mu Ning read when he was a child.
"Got it." Yan Ke didn't reply after saying that. When she came to her senses, Nan Yu had already fallen asleep on the bed.
Yan Ke began to pack. While there was still power, she charged her cell phone and power bank, boiled some water, and packed her backpack.
After cleaning up, he went out to find the location of the generator, oiled it, found the kitchen, and discovered that it had not been used for a long time. He then simply cleaned up the tentacle monster at the door, then returned to the room, washed up, and fell asleep.
Yan Ke hadn't had a good rest for a long time. In addition, he was injured while escaping in the copy, and then went back to the real world to look for a car, but he still hadn't found it. Now his whole body was sore.
Nanyu opened his eyes and saw Yan Ke sleeping on the bed next to him. He climbed onto the bed as usual and closed his eyes to sleep next to Yan Ke like a calico cat. However, he was afraid of squeezing Yan Ke, so he took off his ring and put it away. Nanyu transformed into a calico cat and squeezed into Yan Ke's arms.
Yan Ke had fallen into a deep sleep at this time, and subconsciously hugged the calico cat, and the man and the cat fell into a deep sleep.
The outside world was pitch black, with only one or two houses occasionally showing some lights. Mu Ning learned about the events in Quancheng when he was reporting on them. There had already been people who had survived online, that is, players had filmed the events and uploaded them to the Internet, causing panic among many ordinary people. However, it also brought about positive effects. People had firmly engraved in their minds the dangers of the fog and the certainty of death if they entered it.
At this moment, Mu Ning also realized that Yan Ke's existence was not special. Even though she knew that Nan Yu and Yan Ke were the main figures in clearing several copies, and even though the two's strength was indeed terrifying, the reality was telling her that under the current circumstances, what was needed was the survival of the majority of people, not one or two powerful people to turn the tide.
Otherwise, it would be a cruel end for all parties, players, ordinary people and these official personnel, to die.
