Chapter 578 [(*^▽^*)]
Lin Leyou looked at Xue Rui, "How is it?"
Xue Rui said, "The signal tower is definitely not going to be repaired. The people behind it want to keep all the tourists here. They probably want to catch them all in one fell swoop."
Lin Leyou looked around and spotted Yu Peng and Wang Yi, a couple.
He was somewhat surprised. "This Yu Peng... used to explode over the smallest things, but he didn't react much to such a big incident. Compared to some tourists, he's really too quiet."
Xue Rui glanced at Yu Peng as well. He was indeed calm and his eyes were normal. "It's related to him. At least he knows something."
The tourists calmed down after the staff tried their best to soothe them, since it wasn't the resort's fault that the road was blocked by boulders and some trees.
The signal tower was blown down by the wind, and the loss of signal is not their fault; it's all the wind's fault last night.
Since they can't leave, they might as well stay here. The tourists who just packed their bags and came down now have to carry their luggage back up the mountain. Look at them, all sweaty and panting...
No one reacted, except for Yu Peng and Wang Yi, who were laughing gloatingly in a corner.
If those tourists hadn't already gone far away and couldn't see them anymore, given their current mood, they would have definitely fought with Yu Peng.
The tourists have settled down for the time being. Fortunately, they can still rest and play in the resort. After realizing that they can't go out or contact anyone outside, they are forced to enjoy the scenery here.
As for the dead people earlier... although it was unlucky, it was people from the village who died, and it had nothing to do with the tourists. It wasn't some murderous demon that appeared, so after a while, they weren't so scared anymore. When it was time to eat, there were still many people in the restaurant. The rest of them called the restaurant to have their food delivered to the cabins or other places to visit.
At this moment, Lin Leyou and his companion also ordered food at the fishpond. They were going to eat here. To be honest, he had never fished before. After all, fishing takes a lot of time, and he never had enough time.
Fishing is such a time-consuming activity that he could only watch others fish when he happened to pass by the river. Even then, he could only watch for a moment before he had to get to work.
Lin Leyou looked at the motionless fishing rod and asked, "Is something wrong with it?"
Xue Rui didn't actually know how to fish. He was always busy growing up, busy studying, busy fighting with his stepmother and that illegitimate child, and also trying to protect himself by fishing...
"They probably didn't ask. Maybe they just need time. Let's wait and see."
After waiting a while, the fish didn't bite, but the restaurant brought over their food. "Gentlemen, here is your order. Would you like to eat here or in the pavilion over there?"
Lin Leyou looked around; there were no tables, but at least there were tables and chairs in the pavilion. "Let's eat over there. You'll clean up the mess yourselves later, right?"
"Yes, the guests can just leave it there after they finish eating, and someone will come to clean it up."
Lin Leyou nodded, "That's fine then. You guys go put it over there first, we'll go eat it in a bit."
The restaurant staff quickly went to the nearest gazebo, placed all the food on the table, and then left; they had to deliver food to other places.
Lin Leyou said, "Let's go, let's eat first."
Xue Rui set up the fishing rod. "Let's go."
Lin Leyou was quite interested in fishing since it was his first time, but unfortunately... the two fishing rods didn't move at all during their meal, and there was still no sign of them even after they finished eating.
Standing in front of the fishing rod, Lin Leyou asked with some emotion, "Are there no fish in this pond?"
No sooner had he finished speaking than he saw a fish the size of two palms leap out of the water, then plunge back in and disappear.
Lin Leyou stared blankly at the scene, "Can this fish understand what I'm saying?"
Xue Rui was also somewhat confused. "It's... a coincidence, I guess."
Lin Leyou also thought it was a coincidence. Could the fish in a pond in a dungeon be some kind of hidden NPC? It was just a coincidence, so was it a coincidence that embarrassed him?
"I must catch a fish."
Xue Rui remained silent for a while. He didn't know if he could really catch any fish. Sometimes it depended on skill, but sometimes it also depended on luck.
The two sat there waiting for the fish to bite. Of course, they got a little impatient and took out their phones to start playing games. The phones provided for this instance were not compatible with online gaming, but they could play offline games.
Just as Lin Leyou was engrossed in playing the game, he noticed his fishing rod move out of the corner of his eye. He casually tossed his phone into his pocket, then grabbed the fishing rod. "It's on the hook!"
Xue Rui rushed over to help, but before he could even grab Lin Leyou's fishing rod, he realized his own rod was moving too. He didn't change his stance, still helping Lin Leyou grab his rod, while his own…
He stomped down, firmly pressing the fishing rod under his foot to prevent it from being dragged into the pond. After a flurry of activity, the two caught two fish that weren't small.
Lin Leyou weighed the fish in his hand. "It's about three pounds, not bad."
Xue Rui's fish was slightly larger, weighing about three and a half pounds. "Shall we have these two fish tonight?"
Lin Leyou said, "Two fish aren't enough for us. Let's catch a few more and have a whole fish feast."
Xue Rui: "Okay."
They released the two fish and continued fishing, enjoying themselves leisurely and completely ignoring the troubles elsewhere.
In one afternoon, the two of them caught a total of ten fish. It wasn't a lot, but the smallest fish weighed about two pounds and the largest weighed almost five pounds, so the catch was still pretty good.
They had to pay to take the fish home, but they didn't hesitate. After paying, they took the fish to the restaurant and had the chef prepare a whole fish feast for them.
It was around 4:30 pm, not yet lunchtime, so there weren't many people eating there.
There were a few tourists carrying lots of fruit resting in a corner of the restaurant, probably having gone fruit picking. Lin Leyou looked at the fresh fruit and was a little tempted, "Let's go fruit picking tomorrow too."
Xue Rui: "Okay."
The preparation of the whole fish feast was not very fast, but the aroma of fish wafted out from the kitchen. Lin Leyou was quite looking forward to dinner as he smelled the aroma.
The meal didn't end until 6:30. After they finished eating, they came out of the restaurant carrying two large bags of various snacks, all of which were their favorites.
It was already dark outside, with only a small wisp of sunset remaining on the horizon, which would probably disappear in another ten minutes or so.
Lin Leyou pulled Xue Rui's hand and walked forward. The streetlights were already on, and the greenery on both sides of the road looked more eerie, unlike the night before.
This change is very subtle; unless you are a very perceptive person, you won't be able to see the difference in a day.
Lin Leyou, "Let's begin..."
Xue Rui was holding a device for detecting surveillance. The red light was not on, which meant that there were no surveillance devices around them listening to them.
Based on their behavior over the past two days, all the players probably think they're just ordinary NPC tourists, and if that's the case, they must be of no value.
Perhaps in the eyes of many players, they are just background NPCs who will die at the hands of the BOSS sooner or later, which is why they are not monitored at all.
Inside the restaurant, they found more than five surveillance cameras. These players are really bold. Some of them even had the surveillance cameras brazenly pasted on the ceiling. Do they think everyone is blind?
Xue Rui, holding Lin Leyou's hand, suddenly tightened his grip before releasing it, "Yes..."
He didn't finish his sentence, and Lin Leyou also caught a whiff of blood. "Hmm..."
They didn't show any unusual expression, but continued walking hand in hand as before, until they could no longer smell the blood before they breathed a sigh of relief.
The monitoring device that Xue Rui had hidden on his body hadn't turned red, which meant that the person watching them from the shadows just now was definitely not a player.
Are they other NPCs, the BOSS, or his minions in this instance?
Lin Leyou and his group first arrived at cabin number five. "Pack your things first, then come to my place."
Xue Rui could use his things for a day or two, but it would be inconvenient for a long time. After opening the door, Xue Rui went in, packed up all his belongings, and then left with Lin Leyou carrying a large bag.
They arrived at cabin number ten. Lin Leyou opened the door, and the two went inside. He turned on the lights and drew the curtains. After seeing the situation inside, he stood there somewhat surprised.
"Why is there an extra sofa?"
Xue Rui looked at the corner of the wooden house. Originally, there was no sofa in the wooden house, only a table and chairs. There were two chairs, but no sofa. At the time, he thought it was a little strange, but he didn't think much of it.
But... now there's an extra sofa in the room, so what's the deal with this sofa?
Did someone sneak in while they were out? Without even asking their opinion! While a sofa is nice, isn't this a bit inappropriate?
Xue Rui frowned slightly, then immediately picked up the landline and called the security office downstairs. He briefly explained the situation, asking, "What exactly is going on with this sofa?"
"We had absolutely no knowledge of this..."
"I know you meant well, but shouldn't you have told us beforehand or asked for our permission before entering the cabin? What if we lose something?"
The security guard who answered the phone apologized sincerely and said, "We purchased a batch of very comfortable brand-new sofas beforehand, and they were just carried up the mountain and placed in all the cabins today. As for what you said about no one notifying us... that shouldn't be the case. We specifically arranged for a security guard to notify all the guests."
Lin Leyou and Xue Rui paused slightly, and they both thought of the faint smell of blood carried by the wind that they had caught on their journey.
