The omnipresent worship of gods 1
After the fog dissipated, the streets in the real world were silent and all people disappeared from the area. Yan Ke relied entirely on the information on his mobile phone to obtain some insignificant information.
The sign of Yunjiang County was within his sight.
Yan Ke took out his cell phone and checked the map. Yunjiang County had been marked as a dangerous area in red a long time ago, and was one of the first areas to be shrouded in fog.
Nanyu, the calico cat incarnated as him, found a comfortable position on the passenger seat and lay down, closing his eyes and resting.
The temperature inside the car was a bit cold, so Yan Ke turned on the air conditioner after getting in. It was noon outside, and the temperature here shouldn't be so low. Yan Ke looked around and found nothing unusual.
At this time, Yan Ke did not realize that the temperature in the strange game world had indirectly affected the real world, and the temperature in the real world was also becoming chaotic.
Yan Ke covered Nan Yu with a fluffy blanket. Nan Yu, who had transformed into a calico cat, looked at Yan Ke with satisfaction and then continued to close his eyes and rest.
The map showed that the current situation was similar to the situation when he entered the strange game copy before, with no obvious changes. He only needed to drive according to the safe areas marked above to avoid some fog.
The strange thing is that there are fewer news reports about the spread of fog. Ordinary people have no idea what the actual situation is. They just need to follow the map and they will be safe.
Yan Ke just felt a little tired. It seemed that he still needed to go back to the society with people to find out what had happened.
Yan Ke drove towards a safe city he had chosen, Quancheng, which was neither far nor close to Yunjiang County where Yan Ke was.
It was very convenient for him to find out some information, but the problem was that the car he was driving was found on the way to City B, so he now needed to go to Yunjiang County to change a car, preferably a new car, so as to avoid some trouble.
Starting the car, Yan Ke drove towards Yunjiang County.
The mobile phone showed that Yunjiang County was a medium-sized county with a permanent population of only 300,000. When Yan Ke entered the county, his view was blocked by many vehicles.
The scene Yan Ke saw was exactly the same as the scene in the previous city.
Many vehicles were blocked at the exit, and some even showed signs of collision.
Many human corpses were lying there, some were charred as if they had been burned, and some were rotten and dilapidated.
Seeing this scene, Yan Ke had to turn around and leave. It seemed that most ordinary people could not escape from the fog and died silently. Yan Ke didn't dare to imagine how many people died directly or indirectly in the fog.
Yan Ke subconsciously tightened his grip on the steering wheel. Players were only a small part of the group. It seemed that the players were carefully selected by the weird game. Yan Ke didn't know what the selection rules of the weird game were. He was like a blindfolded mouse, not knowing what kind of miserable end he would face.
On the lifeless highway, Yan Ke stepped on the accelerator, and the vehicle's engine made a roaring hum as it drove towards Quancheng.
As the name suggests, Quancheng is famous for its springs. It belongs to the Central Plains region, but it is the safest city closest to Yan Ke. When entering Quancheng, the peaceful and orderly scene as imagined did not appear, but rather chaos.
As they got closer to Liquan City, Yan Ke noticed that more and more vehicles were coming out of Quancheng.
It was not until they arrived at the toll booth that Yan Ke saw an almost endless line of vehicles heading out.
All entrances and exits to the city were open, and Yan Ke could still see many soldiers maintaining order.
Yan Ke lowered the window, stuck his head out and asked one of the soldiers, "What happened?"
The soldier looked at Nanyu and said, "One-third of Quancheng is covered by the suddenly spreading fog. You should leave here. It's marked in red and it's not safe."
Yan Ke said, "It's not shown on the map."
"The satellite update may be delayed. Brother, please retreat for safety reasons."
Yan Ke could only nod.
As the traffic was jammed from both sides, Yan Ke went to the gas station to refuel first. Only then did Yan Ke realize that he might not even have money left for food because he had exchanged the incense in the previous copy.
Speaking of that incense, it's not as good as Zhuang Zhou Meng Die Incense, but it was sold at a sky-high price because it was required by the plot.
Only now did he feel the severe pain in his flesh.
I don’t know what to say. The current currency system is still as stable as a rock. Even weird games are using their real-world currency system.
Before this time, Yan Ke couldn't help checking his phone and looking for information. He really wanted to sell some props and items, which were now lying in the backpack of his game panel. Most of them were of no use. Many of them were rewards for completing the game more than ten years ago. In addition, he had frequently entered and exited the weird game in recent months and even passed four copy worlds as a player. He received a lot of rewards, and many of them were even items he had touched and seen and would become his rewards for completing the game and lie in his backpack.
After being away from people for about a month, the disadvantages began to emerge. Although he avoided direct contact with the authorities, his limited personal abilities made it impossible to integrate resources, leading to the current tight situation.
He was asking for trouble, not to mention it was hard for him to find a job now.
Just as Yan Ke was thinking, his mind suddenly became clear. Working, yes, he could still work now. It was much better than gradually wasting his money.
When filling up his gas tank, Yan Ke added 200 yuan, and then asked the staff, "Well, where do we find workers in the city?"
The staff member who was standing there in a daze asked, "Handsome guy, do you want to work?"
Yan Ke nodded.
"Then you came at the right time. We have a believer group here. You can join it and then enter the Spring City."
"But isn't one third of Quancheng now covered by fog? Fog can kill people."
The staff member didn't say much, so Yan Ke just made up an excuse. But what he was actually thinking was, why don't I just fill up the tank and go to the next city?
"Handsome guy, if you don't stay in Quancheng, consider my incense, which is of better quality than others."
"What's the smell? Are you staff members making extra money now?"
The staff member looks old, but not too old. He exudes a kind of temperament that is particularly good at deceiving and confusing people.
Yan Ke couldn't help but ask: "Big sister, where are you from? Aren't you leaving?"
"It's not for life, the fog is scary, but if we don't work, the whole family will have nothing to eat. We are from Quancheng."
Yan Ke nodded and said, "What is incense used for? Why do we need to buy incense before leaving Quancheng? What is its function?"
"Everyone is praying now. The appearance of the fog is too evil. The authorities take it very seriously. Many ordinary people like me died after being swallowed by the fog. Some people on the Internet said that it was the gods who came and needed believers, so we took advantage of this momentum to sell some incense to supplement our family income."
The 200+ yuan for gas wasn't actually much, but Yan Ke had no other choice. If he set up a stall here to sell those things, he would be taken away by the soldiers in minutes.
No matter how I look at it, it seems like a hassle.
"It's good to worship. If you have faith, there will be someone to protect you. If you enter a strange game and become a player, this can be regarded as a talisman."
Yan Ke didn't know where this elder sister heard this unorthodox information about sacrifices and beliefs. However, Yan Ke knew that this information was just a placebo effect, as the gods had high requirements for tributes.
But Yan Ke saw that the elder sister was also working for others, and the sales of incense were really good. Almost everyone who came to refuel bought incense. Some people even bought the tall and thick incense sticks, which could not fit in the car, so they had to open the sunroof. Even so, someone still needed to hold the incense sticks in the car to prevent them from breaking.
"Where do people who buy incense burn incense?"
The eldest sister raised her head and said, "In the urban area, Foshan in our urban area has not been affected by the fog. Now most people have to leave their homes. Before leaving, they go to Foshan to burn incense and pray for a safe journey."
"Oh, is that so?" Yan Ke said after paying the gas money, "Thank you then."
"You're welcome."
Yan Ke really planned to go into the urban area of Quancheng to see what the situation was like there. If possible, he would adjust his state and enter the weird game earlier to see if he could clear the fog here.
The area of Quancheng is not small, and the area covered by fog is part of the new city and part of the old city.
The roads in Quancheng are not easy to navigate. There is not a single straight road. In addition, with the appearance of fog, wherever there is a large screen in the city, it will display: "The fog has spread to the new city area. Residents are requested to pack up their luggage and follow the troops to evacuate in an orderly manner."
There is also a reminder below: "Don't touch the fog out of curiosity."
"The foggy area has been forcibly blocked and is no longer open to traffic."
Yan Ke looked at the calico cat that Nanyu had transformed into and said, "I'm running out of money now. Accommodation and meals all require money. We may have a hard time in the future."
Nan Yu turned his head and glanced at Yan Ke without replying. He buried his furry cat head in the blanket, not wanting to reply to Yan Ke's little matter.
Yan Ke smiled helplessly. It seemed that he needed some special means.
For example, the people I met in the game dungeon before, Fang Yu, Li Heng, Gao Xu, Mu Ning and Meng Yueyue, seemed to really need some "help from friends."
Yan Ke opened the memo on her phone and made a call directly: "Hello, Fang Yu, this is Mo Fan. I'm in some financial trouble right now, so I need you to buy me something. It's the reward for clearing the Weird Game dungeon."
