Chapter 584 [(*^▽^*)]
Before leaving, the security guard said, "When you come out later, there will be someone outside. Just look for him."
Lin Leyou said, "Thank you for your help. We'll go in and pick strawberries then."
The two slowly walked into the strawberry greenhouse, which was quite large and they could stay inside for a long time. The security guard who watched them go in suddenly turned pale.
He just found a small piece of fabric behind the last strawberry shed, the fabric of the clothes worn by the person who manages the strawberry shed.
Nothing else was found, including the body.
The security guard searched the area again but found nothing. He returned to the security office in frustration and contacted the restaurant, hoping they could send someone to the strawberry farm.
"What did you say? The people from the strawberry farm have disappeared too?"
The security guard said, "Yes, if this continues, the resort will be deserted!"
After a moment of silence, the person on the other end said, "In that case, why not just let a few more tourists disappear?"
Security guard: "What's your idea?"
"What other good idea could there be? A few of them asked us to deliver meals to the cabins separately. I'll add some good stuff inside, and I guarantee they'll leave this world without even feeling a thing."
The security guard said, "You can handle this, but the strawberry farm can't afford to be short-staffed right now."
"I understand. Someone will be sent over later. Fortunately, the busiest period is over, and now someone has some free time..."
Without waiting for the security guard to reply, the person on the other end hung up. The security guard put down the receiver, sat down in his chair, and sighed deeply.
Too many people have gone missing from the resort now, and he's the only security captain left in the entire security department!
There used to be two nurses working in shifts at the infirmary, in addition to the doctor, but those two nurses have also disappeared, leaving only the doctor.
The restaurant that used to have the most people... originally had more than ten people, but now, apart from the restaurant manager, there are only five waiters and three chefs left, and everyone else is gone!
It's definitely necessary to reduce the number of tourists, otherwise...
The two people picking strawberries in the strawberry field were having a great time, eating and picking as they went, completely unaware that a massacre targeting tourists had already begun at the resort.
Their killings were not obvious; they simply killed people inside the huts while delivering food to them, and then disposed of the bodies to cover their tracks.
Some tourists were even cursing the food delivery staff, saying their service was terrible, they couldn't leave yet, and the signal hadn't been restored. They said it was awful and they would never come back, and they would expose them online after they left.
But all of these tourists died, at the hands of the staff. They died without pain, and their bodies were openly taken out and dumped in a secluded place in the mountains.
Anyway... the thing hiding in the shadows will come by the scent and eat the corpse. Even if it gets discovered by others in the meantime, it doesn't matter. There's no signal, no way to contact the outside world, and the only way out is blocked, so no one can leave.
You could sneak off to the other side of the blocked road when the resort staff aren't watching, and then walk across, but...
You absolutely cannot leave this area in one day. If you haven't returned indoors by nightfall, you'll have to bear the consequences yourself.
After all the waiters returned, the restaurant manager asked, "Is everything resolved? How much is missing?"
"All eight have been resolved."
"Has nobody seen it? How many tourists are left?"
The waiter said, "According to our statistics, there are thirty left."
"This quantity... is still a bit too much."
"There are two tourists alone at the strawberry farm. Should we take action?"
The waiter nodded, "Go ahead and clean it up."
"OK."
Soon the waiters began practicing with their colleagues who had been sent to the strawberry farm. Two people soon arrived at the strawberry farm and began preparing for their next move.
Meanwhile, Lin Leyou and his companion inside strawberry greenhouse number 2 were completely unaware of anything.
Lin Leyou picked a large, red strawberry and put it in the basket. "These two baskets are already full. Do you want to pick more?"
Xue Rui looked at the two baskets that were full and said, "Forget it, it's not good to eat too much at once. These two baskets are enough for us. If we want to eat more tomorrow, we can come again."
Lin Leyou nodded in satisfaction, "Let's go, we picked them ourselves, the reddest and sweetest ones..."
They each carried a basket and walked out, and in the distance they saw the staff at the entrance of the strawberry farm.
"Why are there three?"
Xue Rui's expression changed. "Be careful, they're probably planning to..."
Lin Leyou: "No problem."
He rummaged through his backpack, first taking out his golden protective shield, fully energizing it, and then putting it in his pocket. Next, he took out the golden weapon, the Soul Splitter, which he had obtained in Xiushan Village by exchanging his cursed dagger, and hid it in his pocket. He hadn't used this weapon much and didn't know its effects yet, so now was the perfect time to give it a try.
As they approached the entrance carrying strawberries with an unperturbed expression, two waiters in restaurant uniforms also turned their gazes toward them, their faces indifferent, as if customers were gods, or now they were corpses.
Seeing their expressions, Lin Leyou and his companions knew that they were about to be attacked. It turned out that the attackers were resort staff, not players or monsters hidden in the instance.
Lin Leyou casually put the basket he was carrying aside, and Xue Rui put it behind him as well. The two baskets were placed side by side. They had spent a lot of time picking the fruit, and they couldn't let them get damaged.
The two waiters were a little surprised to see this, but since they had decided to take action anyway, they absolutely could not waver.
After putting down their baskets, the two quickly walked forward. Before the two waiters even knew why they had put down their baskets, the distance between them was already dangerous.
"Let's do it!"
Two waiters pulled out axes and gleaming long knives from their lower backs and slashed at Lin Leyou and Xue Rui, making it seem like they were using some special technique!
Unexpectedly, they decided to fight head-on. Since it was a contest of physical skills, neither of them was afraid at all. "They're courting death!"
Xue Rui didn't stray too far from him, so he wouldn't leave the protective shield's range. Although the two of them seemed rather reckless, what if they had some hidden tricks up their sleeves?
As expected, these two waiters didn't have any impressive martial arts skills; they were just wildly hacking at each other with knives and axes. Lin Leyou and his companions easily knocked them to the ground.
They didn't even use their weapons. Lin Leyou looked at the Soul-Splitting Blade in his hand with some frustration, not expecting that he couldn't even make a single cut.
There was a small house at the entrance of the strawberry farm, where the guards lived. At that very moment, a dark gun barrel appeared from the half-open window and fired a shot at Lin Leyou and his group!
This shot was aimed at Xue Rui's head, who was closer to the small house. If Xue Rui hadn't been within the protection range of Lin Leyou's gold-plated protective shield, this bullet would have seriously injured him.
Lin Leyou sneered, "There's still one person inside. Go kill him, and I'll stay here and watch over these two."
Xue Rui didn't say anything. Instead, he rushed over, leaped up, kicked the window, and flew into the room. A Beretta appeared in his hand, and he fired a shot at the person hiding in the corner.
The shot hit the opponent's wrist, which was holding the gun. The opponent screamed and dropped the gun. Xue Rui pressed his advantage and shot him again, killing him instantly in the head.
Xue Rui looked at the corpse at his feet without saying anything. Instead, he climbed out of the window and returned to Lin Leyou's side. When he left, the two men who had been knocked to the ground and were rolling around suddenly attacked Lin Leyou, who was now alone.
Of course, Lin Leyou wasn't completely unprepared. When he swung the Soul-Splitting Blade, it was as if it were air, unable to hit any solid objects. However, after it grazed their bodies as if nothing had happened, they all clutched the places where they had been slashed and screamed in agony.
This time, he was genuinely rolling on the ground and wailing without any pretense.
Xue Rui watched as they screamed in agony, but then they were in so much pain that they couldn't even scream anymore. Instead, they opened their mouths wide and screamed silently, their faces contorted in agony, looking as ferocious as ghosts.
Lin Leyou said, "This Soul-Splitting Dagger is quite useful."
Xue Rui, "No blood was drawn, so it wasn't the body that was struck, but the soul?"
Lin Leyou nodded, "Yes, it's damage to the soul. We don't know how long the pain will last. Should we kill him now?"
Although they are now too pained to make a sound, those two screams just now couldn't be ignored; someone else must have heard them.
Lin Leyou put away the props, while Xue Rui fired two shots at the two men, killing them instantly. After putting away the props, he followed Lin Leyou back, and the two of them carried two baskets back to the strawberry greenhouse number two.
Sure enough, as soon as they entered, they saw people rushing over. The first to arrive were several players, including the familiar figure of Hang Qing, as well as several other familiar players.
Other resort staff also rushed over. After seeing two waiters lying there with their heads blown off, they discovered another dead body in a nearby hut.
Of course, Lin Leyou and Xue Rui slowly emerged from the strawberry greenhouse. They noticed the two looked somewhat surprised. The security captain paused for a moment upon seeing them, "You..."
Lin Leyou: "Sorry! We were picking strawberries inside. We just heard gunshots outside... so we stayed inside without making a sound and didn't see anything."
He looked shaken, while Xue Rui looked at Lin Leyou with concern. The two of them looked like frightened tourists, without anything strange about it.
The tourists were unaware, but the resort staff knew. These three individuals planned to kill the two lone tourists, but unexpectedly, they themselves died…
