Chapter 582 [(*^▽^*)]
Lin Leyou also stopped and turned around to look behind him. Yu Peng and Wang Yi had just arrived in front of them.
Yu Peng: "Hello everyone, have you just finished eating?"
Lin Leyou raised an eyebrow. How could Yu Peng be so shameless? Have he already forgotten the unpleasant things that happened between them before?
Xue Rui, "Is there something you need?"
Yu Peng chuckled and tapped his head, seemingly oblivious to the wariness in their eyes. "Oh, don't mind me. I was wrong before; my attitude was off!"
"Please don't hold it against me. I was in a bad mood before, so I attacked indiscriminately. Here, these are for you. They're the biggest and reddest strawberries I picked from the orchard today. I ate a lot of them over there, and they were delicious!"
Lin Leyou was somewhat surprised. How did Yu Peng suddenly transform from a mentally ill person with mental problems into a warm, cheerful, and outgoing person?
To prevent Yu Peng from going crazy here, Lin Leyou accepted the strawberries from him. To be fair, the strawberries did look quite good, but he wondered if there was anything extra in them.
"It's nothing, just a little argument, nothing serious. Let's just let it go."
Yu Peng saw him take the strawberries and was very happy, his smile becoming even more genuine, "No problem!"
Lin Leyou and his companion did not linger there for long and left quickly. Yu Peng then led Wang Yi into the restaurant.
Xue Rui and his group did not continue to observe or leave any monitoring equipment; instead, they returned to cabin number ten, which belonged to Lin Leyou.
They returned to the cabin, checked the doors, windows, and locks, and looked inside for anything extra. Only after finding nothing did they feel relieved and draw the curtains.
Xue Rui said, "I checked it with the props. There's nothing extra in this strawberry. And this instance doesn't involve the supernatural, so there shouldn't be any hidden rules or anything like that."
Lin Leyou nodded, "Even if no problems are found, don't eat it. If you want to eat it, we can go to the strawberry farm tomorrow and pick it ourselves."
Xue Rui: "Okay, we'll go tomorrow."
He casually tossed the strawberries into a trash bag, put them in a black one, mixed them with other trash, and then walked outside the cabin and threw them into a large trash can placed by the roadside not far away.
Lin Leyou said, "There are thousands of photos. How long will it take to choose one..."
Xue Rui said, "It's okay, we have plenty of time. We can pick out one or two first, and then look at the rest later."
Lin Leyou said, "The scenery here is beautiful, but it's a bit too monotonous. How about this, we just pick one or two photos and take more when we go to other areas. How about we choose the best ones as souvenirs?"
Xue Rui blinked. "That's a good idea. I'll listen to you."
Lin Leyou nodded with a smile, opened the package of braised snacks he had brought back, and said, "Eat up, pick some as you eat. These fruits must have been picked today; they look so fresh."
Although the two had just eaten, the side dishes were not filling, and they ate happily. They had several hours to look at all the photos, but they couldn't decide which two to choose.
Lin Leyou checked the time. "It's almost eleven o'clock. Shall we just select these fifty photos to keep for today, and talk about the rest tomorrow?"
Xue Rui got up and tidied up the things on the table. "Okay, go take a shower first."
As the two lay in bed, the wind started blowing again outside. Lin Leyou glanced at the motionless curtains and felt the wind outside. "The wind is quite strong, about the same as yesterday."
Xue Rui listened carefully, "There seems to be a wailing sound outside, carried by the wind..."
Lin Leyou: "Are there players fighting? Wait... that howling doesn't sound like a human. It must be a monster in the dungeon? Hopefully, Lin Wanyi will find something we can use."
This way we can take advantage of the Bureau of Order Management!
Xue Rui, "Shall we go to sleep?"
He hugged Lin Leyou's head and rubbed it against her. It was only when he was with Lin Leyou that Xue Rui would show some obvious expressions and make some cute gestures.
If it were before, Lin Leyou would definitely be shocked, after all, in Lin Leyou's mind, Xue Rui was the cold and aloof CEO of the group in his previous life.
But now... Xue Rui has left behind countless embarrassing stories about Lin Leyou since she met him, and Lin Leyou's high and mighty filter for Xue Rui has long been shattered.
Lin Leyou said, "Go to sleep, go to sleep. Maybe it will be our turn tomorrow."
Xue Rui was silent for a moment before saying, "Could it be a BOSS or a player...?"
Lin Leyou smiled and said, "If it's a player, it's just a good opportunity for us to complete the mission; if it's a boss, it's fine too."
Xue Rui suddenly joked, "Run away if it's the BOSS?"
Lin Leyou said, "It's best not to encounter the BOSS, but you're right, if we encounter the BOSS, we have to run away, right? After all, we're just ordinary tourist NPCs."
The two chatted about this and that before going to sleep. They didn't care what happened outside; as long as they weren't contacted, everything was fine.
Lin Wanyi looked at Jiang Xiali, who was still awake, and felt a headache coming on. "Aren't you going to sleep yet?"
Jiang Xiali paused slightly, somewhat embarrassed, "I...I have trouble sleeping, there's nothing I can do, you can't just knock me out, can you?"
"Go take care of your business. I'm fine here by myself. I'm not going to sit here doing nothing anyway."
Lin Wanyi thought for a moment and nodded, "I know you're quite capable too. I'll be going now. Remember to contact me if anything happens."
Jiang Xia waved her hand casually, "Go ahead, it's alright."
Lin Wanyi then put on her disguise props. Just like last night, her whole body was covered in burning black bandages, with only her eyes showing.
"I've gone to take care of some errands."
As soon as she finished speaking, Lin Wanyi disappeared from the room. Jiang Xiali looked at the props on the table and sighed deeply, "Do I still need to contact them myself? Didn't you know immediately when something happened?"
"If you said you trusted me, why did you leave this here? If you didn't trust me, why did you leave me in the cabin so readily?"
Jiang Xia was lying on the bed playing on his phone, muttering to himself, waiting for Lin Wanyi to come back so they could sleep together. As he hugged his blanket, he suddenly thought of Lin Leyou and Xue Rui.
"I wonder how far they've progressed."
"Has it already... both the things I should and shouldn't have done..."
Jiang Xiali suddenly realized what she was saying, and somewhat flustered, covered her slightly red face. "What am I saying... really!"
He rolled over in bed and continued playing his game, not thinking about anything else.
Lin Wanyi appeared near the observation deck halfway up the mountain. From his position, he could clearly see that a large number of people, mostly players, had gathered at the observation deck.
Outside the observation deck, many giant, strange birds were flying around rapidly in the sky, engaged in battle. Several of the birds' corpses had already fallen onto the spacious observation deck.
Lin Wanyi did not make any rash moves, but silently hid in the darkness, waiting for the battle to end.
Players initially had no intention of continuing to hunt the giant bird after failing to earn any points from its kill attempt. However, at night, these birds begin hunting anyone who ventures out.
Anything that can move and is seen by them becomes their prey, so many players who plan to go out to complete tasks at night will be attacked by these strange birds.
So many players got together during the day to discuss killing the monster birds at night. Although there were many monster birds and they were flying in the sky, they might not be able to kill them all. But killing a batch would at least reduce their numbers. This way, if they went out at night and hid well, they wouldn't be discovered so often.
Besides, these strange birds might be related to the dungeon boss! The more they kill, the more likely the dungeon boss will reveal itself, and then they can determine the boss's situation, which will greatly help them complete the main storyline.
The most conspicuous one was Hang Qing. Hang Qing had a gun in his hand, which upon closer inspection was a sniper rifle. Moreover, the quality of this gun should be quite high, and it should have some special additional effects. Every time he aimed and fired a bullet, a strange bird would fall from the sky, killing the target instantly.
Lin Wanyi only glanced at it a few times. Such a weapon might be very powerful to the players over there, but it was nothing to him.
Many players don't have such effective long-range attack weapons and items, so they just hold weapons and surround Hang Qing to prevent the strange birds that occasionally fly down to attack them from disturbing Hang Qing.
They had considered hiding in the woods, but the strange bird was too big, so hiding in the woods wouldn't have much of an impact on it, and would only affect the player's movement and line of sight.
Finally, they decided to hunt the strange birds at the observation deck. As they killed more and more of the strange birds, the strange birds that had been circling the mountain gradually gathered at this place.
Hang Qing put down his gun. "Let's go. We've already killed more than sixty of them, but the number of strange birds here is increasing. Let's hide first and wait for them to disperse before killing them."
Everyone quickly left the area and hid in twos and threes. They had agreed beforehand that if the number of strange birds gathered too large, they would hide and return after they dispersed.
Lin Wanyi hid even better. At this time, all the players left this place and hid elsewhere. Of course, they also left some monitoring devices to observe the situation here.
He couldn't go out casually at this time, lest he be mistaken for a monster by the players and be surrounded and attacked by them, which was not what he wanted to see, although he wasn't afraid of it.
After the strange birds circling nearby realized they had lost their target, they gradually dispersed. About half an hour later, there were no more strange birds persistently searching for the player.
