Chapter 21 The Sixteenth Person
The silence continues.
The stalemate just now seemed to last for a long time, but it only lasted a few minutes.
The female butcher walked in front, followed by the other five players. Lin Han and Yin Yue were still at the end of the team.
The sound of dripping water could be heard. The basement was still as damp as a cave. Heavy drops of water that could not be held back fell from the ceiling. The yellowed old light bulb was foggy, adding a layer of haziness to the already dim light.
Lin Han walked forward slowly.
He didn't even shift his gaze, looking straight ahead and slightly downwards, just enough to see the feet of the man walking in front of him.
When the sole of the shoe stepped over a puddle, the ripples it pushed out swayed in circles, and when it was lifted up, a series of splashes of water were created.
That's the sound all over the basement.
Even he himself is the same.
But his ears would always unconsciously catch the "da da" sound, accompanied by the sound of a little splash, which sounded rhythmically beside him.
That was the sound of Yin Yue's crutch tapping the ground.
"Da da."
Lin Han mechanically maintained the movement of moving forward, and even had the mood to think about other things.
This is definitely a very powerful crutch, no, prop. The water and dirt on the ground will be pushed away the moment it falls, forming a small, absolutely clean area.
It may not even touch the ground.
Although he didn't know what the use of a crutch having this ability to "keep clean" was, Lin Han was still subconsciously curious. His thoughts then diverged to the question of whether stabbing someone with the crutch would also push away blood and flesh, exposing a huge wound.
Just thinking about it, this is a terrible weapon.
But now it is just Silver Moon's crutch, playing its simplest and most rustic role.
Lin Han was very curious about the crutch, but he didn't dare to even look at it.
He was afraid to meet Yin Yue's gaze.
In Lin Han's opinion, Yin Yue at this time was the most dangerous existence in the entire copy, and the danger index far exceeded the new test that the female butcher was about to take him into.
The previous episode somehow released some abnormal side of Yin Yue that he had been hiding, and Lin Han could hear him humming a song.
Lin Han didn't know whether other people could hear it in such an environment where no one dared to make a sound, but he heard the faint singing coming from Yin Yue.
It can be called a song, but in fact it is not even a song. It is just a humming whose tune is not clear and he has no impression of it. When it is hummed with Yin Yue's exceptionally gentle voice, it seems to have the effect of a murmur to lull people to sleep.
But Lin Han couldn't fall asleep no matter what. His scalp was tingling, and his body was even tense. Even the arm that was supported by Yin Yue was a little stiff. All these behaviors seemed to be telling of his fear and alienation from Yin Yue.
For a moment, Lin Han even had a terrible thought: What if Yin Yue had not saved him at the beginning, and he was directly swallowed by the meat grinder? It would have been better to exit the game and return to real life.
Lin Han was worried that the horrible game environment and plot would leave him with a psychological trauma, but now he doesn't care about the game copy at all. He only knows that he is going crazy because of the strange player he met.
"Why are my hands so cold?" Lin Han muttered to himself in his heart when Yin Yue's voice suddenly rang out again, "Are you scared?"
Scared? Who wouldn't be scared?
In this situation, anyone who is not afraid is abnormal.
Lin Han's heartbeat quickened, and he felt a sudden sense of tension as if a knife was held to his neck. In his mind, Yin Yue's image had changed from an abnormal but reliable big player to a representative of danger.
He could almost imagine Yin Yue approaching him and asking this question with a concerned look.
Even if Lin Han didn't look back at him, he wouldn't be impatient or unhappy. The happiness in his heart was enough to support him talking to himself.
There is a saying that "villains die because they talk too much", and this also applies to good people. Talking too much is never a good thing and will bring unnecessary trouble.
According to normal routine, someone like Yin Yue, who talks a lot and always speaks rashly without considering the occasion or time, should have died eight hundred times in the game.
But even though he spoke again and again, the female butcher walking at the front of the team had no intention of turning back. She just continued to move forward step by step, completely ignoring Yin Yue who had been challenging her "authority".
She had already been defeated in the confrontation with Yin Yue earlier, so her strength level was slightly behind Yin Yue.
Only Lin Han felt that Yin Yue was dangerous, but other players, like Lin Han at the beginning, only felt that Yin Yue was strong and reliable, and subconsciously moved closer to Yin Yue, as if this would make them safer.
No one thought that Yin Yue's untimely words were a mistake anymore. They were more likely to be jealous of Lin Han, wondering what kind of luck he had to be so tightly bound to Yin Yue.
Only Lin Han, the person involved, knew how much pressure he was under right now - Yin Yue seemed to have mutated and became extremely dangerous.
Lin Han's mind was full of random thoughts, and he didn't answer Yin Yue.
But Yin Yue didn't look unhappy at all. He seemed to be talking to himself, or he didn't need Lin Han's answer at all.
"What are you afraid of?" Yin Yue's voice sounded in Lin Han's ears again.
Lin Han still didn't answer. His mind was in a mess, as if his thoughts had come back to him, and he silently said in his mind, "I'm afraid of you."
He was not afraid of the female butcher or the factory manager, but he was afraid of Yin Yue.
Lin Han has already distinguished the priorities of this game copy. Nothing is as important as Yin Yue beside him, no matter whether it is assessed or not.
The main task of clearing the dungeon is to survive for three days, but if he angers Yin Yue, or if Yin Yue finally tears off the disguise, then Lin Han will die in less than three days without any test.
At this time, Yin Yue is no longer a protective umbrella, but a death warrant.
Of course, this was Lin Han's exaggerated imagination. After all, Yin Yue did not hurt him at all. It was just that his actions made Lin Han feel that he was very dangerous, so he became hesitant and timid, and began to resist him physically and psychologically.
Lin Han believed in his intuition. If he had such thoughts, then there must be something wrong with Yin Yue.
Just maintain the status quo and pretend that everything is fine.
While Lin Han was thinking, his feet continued to move forward mechanically, with almost no change.
Until Yin Yue leaned close to his ear and whispered, "Are you afraid of me?"
It sounds like a question, but also like a statement.
He was too close, closer than any time before. When he spoke, his warm breath fanned Lin Han's earlobe, startling him so much that he shivered. When he was about to jump away, his arms were still bound by Yin Yue, and he had no way to break free even a little bit.
Yin Yue's grip on his arm hurt a little.
Lin Han subconsciously looked at him and saw Yin Yue standing beside him, keeping a very gentlemanly distance and not getting too close. She even looked a little reserved when she noticed his gaze.
He still seemed to be in such a good mood, even his eyes were shining, and Lin Han could see his eagerness to try.
What happened at this moment obviously made Yin Yue very excited.
Here it comes again, that slightly malicious feeling. Lin Han feels like Yin Yue's toy. The other party is waiting for his answer, guessing his reaction, and then punishing him.
Yin Yue seemed to care about him, afraid that he would get hurt and cared about his feelings. She was restrained and kept her distance everywhere. It also seemed that she didn't care about him at all, and was teasing him for fun.
Lin Han didn't know how to answer.
His answer seemed crucial, as it determined how everything would develop thereafter.
Lin Han, frightened by Yin Yue's sudden words, froze in his tracks and stopped where he was. He quickly distanced himself from the others, but he didn't stay for too long.
Before the others noticed that the footsteps behind them had stopped, Yin Yue's left hand had already reached behind him and gently pushed him, then continued walking forward with Lin Han.
He couldn't stop, Yin Yue asked him to keep going.
Lin Han had no choice but to continue walking.
But what made Lin Han happy was that Yin Yue didn't seem to force him to answer.
Even though he knew that his performance at the moment was not good, Yin Yue didn't care.
Yin Yue was still humming a happy song, her voice so soft that it could only reach Lin Han's ears. It was still the same song that made people sleepy. Lin Han had listened to it before and it had no effect, but now he really fell asleep.
That bit of sleepiness is out of control.
Even though his mind was clamoring for him to stay awake, he just lowered his head and looked in an almost fixed direction in front of him, his eyes almost squinting.
It was like Yin Yue was coaxing him to sleep.
Parents always make a fuss about certain things, ask questions even though they already know the answer, and pick things up and then put them down gently. It seems that they can find fun in such things that they can enjoy for a long time.
At this moment, Yin Yue is like this.
He actually knew that Lin Han was afraid of him, but he didn't say it at first. He just asked with concern. Later, he suddenly pointed out this fact, which made Lin Han panic. In the end, he remained silent and didn't want Lin Han to make any answer or explanation. He just enjoyed appreciating his various reactions.
Lin Han was in his grasp, and even struggling was futile.
Lin Han has realized all of this, but he cannot escape his current situation. He squinted his eyes and was almost about to fall asleep.
Danger.
Silver Moon is a dangerous man.
Lin Han reminded himself loudly in his heart, but it was of no use.
The dim light in the corridor became dimmer and dimmer in his eyes. After his eyelids closed, he seemed to be unable to hear even the sound of dripping water.
But he was still walking, moving forward step by step. With Yin Yue supporting him, he would not fall down. But no one would notice that he had closed his eyes.
At this time, Lin Han was Yin Yue's puppet and could only let Yin Yue take him anywhere.
It was also at this time that Lin Han couldn't help but complain. Why did the female butcher take them to the second assessment location for so long but still didn't arrive? Maybe she would be able to return to normal once the assessment began.
Who knows?
But at this moment, Lin Han had no choice but to think so.
What's more, he could only think about it.
He is the weakest person in this copy. Anyone else has stronger self-protection ability than him, and he has no possibility of deciding his own fate.
Lin Han felt inexplicably pessimistic.
But as soon as this thought came to his mind, he heard a chuckle in his ear, and the tone was almost overjoyed.
"You're so cute like this."
"It's okay to be afraid of me," his voice was still so gentle, as if he would never get angry. "You have to learn to make requests of me, and I will agree to them."
In the quiet corridor, Yin Yue's voice was clearly audible to Lin Han.
Lin Han didn’t know if other people heard it too, but he heard it clearly.
Who knew why Yin Yue treated him like this? They clearly didn't know each other at all. Lin Han didn't have even the slightest memory to tell him that he had ever met Yin Yue.
What on earth could Yin Yue get from him that made her treat him so specially?
When Lin Han turned his head in confusion, the distress that Yin Yue had previously inflicted on him had disappeared. He met Yin Yue's smiling eyes with great clarity. The other person's gaze was gentle and there was not a trace of the malice that Lin Han had felt before.
He really wanted to protect him.
At least at this moment, the emotion in his eyes was real.
Lin Han was silent for a while, and finally nodded: "Okay."
His voice was a little dry due to his previous nervousness, but Yin Yue completely ignored everything else. The word "good" made him look like he was surrounded by joy, and even Lin Han didn't understand.
Who would be happy if someone makes a request of him?
Like being ordered around?
But Yin Yue doesn't look like that kind of person.
His attitude towards other people was completely different from his attitude towards him: strong and dismissive. Throughout this entire copy until now, he had only communicated and spoken with Lin Han, staying by his side.
No one else caught Yin Yue's eye, except Lin Han.
Lin Han was puzzled, but he could only obey Yin Yue and continue to act.
While Yin Yue was still under control, he shouldn't do anything else, so as not to cause unexpected changes in Yin Yue. He didn't want to experience such a terrible experience again.
He'll die from too much pressure.
The first day of the game hadn't even passed, and Lin Han had already lost confidence in the future - but the worst that could happen was death and leaving the game.
Lin Han: It doesn’t matter.
The other players were not deaf, and they could hear what was happening behind them. Lin Han and Yin Yue never avoided them in their strange conversations, and it was difficult to tell whether they were not avoiding them or were deliberately letting them hear it.
But who dares to say anything more?
The team was led by a female butcher, but they were closer to Yin Yue. They were trying to seek Yin Yue's protection. Why would they cause trouble by speculating about his relationship with Lin Han?
Such a conversation might make them feel ashamed in the outside world, but here they can only feel envy. Who doesn't want to be protected from the very beginning like Lin Han?
I don't know what kind of luck he had.
Everyone continued to walk forward in silence with their own thoughts in their minds, and the female butcher finally reached her destination.
After walking through the rather long corridor, the shoes on Lin Han's feet, which had been found from nowhere, had already become sticky. The others were not much better off, with some of their bodies being covered in dripping water, and they looked a little disheveled.
Only Yin Yue still looked extremely neat and tidy. The long journey before had not caused any damage to his appearance.
Under Yin Yue's protection, Lin Han seemed to be in much better condition than the others, but his complexion was not good and he looked a little weak. Under the yellow light, he looked somewhat terminally ill.
Lin Han: It would be strange if it wasn’t in vain.
First he was injured, then he was frightened. The psychological pressure was astonishingly great. Lin Han was really confused. Were the three labels he chose at the beginning just for decoration?
Why on earth did he come to this game copy and get matched with Silver Moon?
Lin Han complained in his heart about the unfairness of the game, but he still stood obediently beside Yin Yue. This was the safest place he knew at the moment.
After going down the stairs and through the long one-way passage, Lin Han and his companions, led by the female butcher, went completely into the basement. At the end of the corridor was a very spacious space. Inside the iron fence, the pigs raised their heads when they heard the noise, and their red pupils stared at Lin Han and his companions in front of them, looking quite dangerous.
These pigs were no different from the pigs Lin Han had seen in that room before, except that they did not look as harmless as Lin Han had imagined. Their strange red pupils proved that they were different from the pigs Lin Han knew, and were probably wild beasts that could pose a threat to them.
Lin Han didn't know where the pork processed by the factory was sold, but it was obvious that this was the source of the factory's meat.
The dirty environment and the foul smell everywhere made Lin Han subconsciously hold his breath - the owner of the factory did not care about food safety issues as usual.
Perhaps because of Lin Han's frown, Yin Yue, who was always paying attention to him, waved her hand in front of him and covered his nose and mouth with her palms, as if this could exclude the unbearable stench.
There was a fresh smell on Yin Yue's hand, different from the disgusting smell around. Lin Han seemed to have got a chance to catch his breath and subconsciously took two more breaths.
His little action made Yin Yue in a good mood again, and a smile that could not be wiped off her face.
At this time, Lin Han still didn't dare to look Yin Yue in the eye. He always felt that attracting too much attention from Yin Yue would only speed up the process of him becoming abnormal.
Everything was getting weird.
Yin Yue became very strange, Lin Han himself became very strange, and the entire copy became very strange.
The other five players were all paying more or less attention to Yin Yue, trying to see how the other party would respond in the current situation. Unfortunately, it seemed that there was only Lin Han in Yin Yue's mind, and there was no room for anything else.
He didn't even glance at the butcher or the quiet and abnormal pigs.
The female butcher didn't care about Lin Han and Yin Yue. She just walked towards the pigpen. When the rusty pigpen door opened with a "clattering" sound, she shook the bloody butcher knife in her hand and walked towards the pig closest to her.
The seemingly ferocious pigs were not so strong in front of her and began to retreat. However, since the huge pigpen was actually cut into large and small squares, these pigs had nowhere to escape. After being forced into a corner with no way to escape, they finally broke out of their ferocity and rushed towards the female butcher with their teeth bared.
Lin Han could see from afar that when the pigs opened their mouths, their upper and lower rows of almost pale fangs looked like they could easily bite through all the bones and flesh with one bite.
These were not the "harmless" pigs that Lin Han remembered. They could easily tear ordinary people to pieces.
It is said that pigs are omnivores and will eat meat, but Lin Han thought that the pigs he saw at this moment were probably carnivores.
It’s a pity that the pig, which looks so ferocious and strong, is nothing in front of the female butcher.
The female butcher pressed one hand forward and pressed it directly on the head of a pig, completely stopping its momentum. Then she chopped it down with a knife, splitting the head of another pig that was trying to bite her leg.
The pigs' howls were heartbreaking.
The female butcher probably wanted to demonstrate to them, and she only needed one pig, so she pinched the pig's head, which was still rushing forward with its head held down, and threw it directly out. Its neck was broken and it fell into a pigpen in the distance, breaking its limbs, exposing bones, and bleeding.
The pigs nearby were unaware of their fellow pigs' sorrows and joys. They rushed forward with their mouths open and started to gnaw at the food. Blood splattered everywhere, and the only sound was the sound of sharp teeth scraping against bones. In just a few minutes, when the pigs dispersed, only a pool of blood remained on the ground.
Humans are very empathetic creatures. Even when hearing the screams of a pig, they can hear the fear and pain in it and feel the same. For a moment, Lin Han's scalp went numb, as if he had been as unfortunate as the pig, with his head split open and torn to pieces.
The female butcher's expression was still cold. She threw out a few more pigs before she completely subdued the pigs in the pigpen. Then she walked out holding the hoof of the pig whose head she had split open before.
The door of the pigpen opened and closed, and the players watched silently as the female butcher dragged the dead pig to the corner nearby. She stood by the conveyor belt and pierced the pig's hoof through the iron hook. She hung it in the air and used a knife to cut open the pig's abdomen and remove the unwanted organs. Then she watched the pig with its abdomen opened hanging in the air, swaying slightly as it was sent to an unknown place.
Lin Han felt that he probably knew where they went.
That was the room he was in when he first entered the game. All the pig corpses that appeared there were transported up from here, and perhaps he was also transported up from here.
Fortunately, he was able to wake up and no one killed him like a pig.
After watching the female butcher's demonstration, I found that the process is actually not difficult. It is nothing more than catching pigs, processing pigs, and then packing them up and sending them away. This is indeed what a butcher should do. Their role in this copy is novice butchers, and this is within their expectations.
But...those pigs pose no threat to the female butcher, but to other people, including Lin Han himself, they are extremely brutal and dangerous.
Take Lin Han as an example. If he walked into the pigpen, he would probably become food for the pigs, not to mention killing them and hanging them up.
Lin Han still has this self-awareness, and therefore, his expression is very ugly.
This is no different from sending him to his death.
It wasn't just Lin Han. Several of the other five players also had pale faces. It was obvious that they, like Lin Han, realized the gap in strength between themselves and the female butcher.
Just because the female butcher can easily solve the problem doesn’t mean they can too.
If the first level tests luck, then there is no doubt that the second level tests their strength.
The butcher seemed oblivious to the players' ever-changing expressions as she finally began her explanation: "This factory isn't a place for you to slack off. We only hire employees who can guarantee efficiency. Those who don't work hard will never be hired."
Lin Han: “…”
Isn't this the end?
In this copy, Lin Han is equivalent to a useless waste who is unable to even tie a chicken. He can't even drag a pig weighing hundreds of pounds, let alone kill it and hang it up.
But unlike other players, Lin Han has a solution.
He looked at Yin Yue, who was already waiting for him there with a smile, as if she had known that he would choose to ask him for help.
Yin Yue said: "As long as you ask, I will help you."
Lin Han: “…”
Yin Yue seemed to be deeply in love with this kind of evil thing.
Before this, Yin Yue would take the initiative to help Lin Han without him asking, and it seemed that there was a little bit of flattery in it. Yin Yue wanted Lin Han to see what he did for him, but now, everything changed. Yin Yue began to try to get Lin Han to ask for help.
Of course, Lin Han did not intend to accept Yin Yue's unconditional dedication for granted. He just felt Yin Yue's instability from this change.
He became more and more dangerous, not only to others, but also to Lin Han. Once Lin Han failed to meet Yin Yue's expectations in any way, Lin Han would face new tests.
Although he knew that the other party was also a player like him, Lin Han no longer treated Yin Yue as just a player, but more like a BOSS in the dungeon, the kind that could kill him if things got heated.
Yin Yue didn't know that beneath Lin Han's seemingly calm expression, his emotions were surging. He looked at Lin Han and smiled, then spoke again with a hint of urging, "I'll agree to anything you ask, you know."
You know.
Yin Yue always likes to say this, but Lin Han has no idea.
This is also the reason why Lin Han is becoming more and more wary of Yin Yue.
But Lin Han, who knew nothing, could only pretend to know. He forced a smile and hesitated for a moment before speaking: "Can you help me?"
Given that Yin Yue's mood suddenly turned bad at certain times, Lin Han did not mention anyone's name, including Yin Yue's own and his own, nor did he say what happened, blurring everything out in one sentence.
He said this with some ulterior motives, but Yin Yue also benefited from it.
Almost at the first moment when Lin Han said "Can you help me", when the word "you" just came out of his mouth, Yin Yue's expression had narrowed slightly. Perhaps she had imagined the following words, and the smile in the corner of her eyes was almost flowing out.
Until this moment, Lin Han still didn't understand why Yin Yue was so happy, but as the beneficiary, it was better for him to mind his own business at this time. He could review these doubts after he finished the game.
As for whether he could pass the level smoothly, even if everything went smoothly, could Yin Yue's normal state last for three days without causing trouble? Even though Lin Han himself felt that the hope was slim enough, he still wanted to leave himself some beautiful fantasies at this time.
But the others except Lin Han were not so lucky.
They couldn't get Yin Yue's protection with just a few words like Lin Han did, so they could only complete the female butcher's assessment on their own.
While envying Lin Han, some people had already forced themselves to imitate the female butcher and walked into the pigpen. The red eyes of the pigs were looking at them, and the status of hunter and prey seemed to be reversed from the beginning.
A tall man came in, with a somewhat inappropriate long sword in his hand. It was probably his prop, and it looked quite powerful.
Lin Han also wanted to see how other players would pass the level and become stronger than him, but in just one minute, this idea was easily wiped out in front of him.
The sword is a good sword, but the person who uses it is not good.
He was too slow, and just as he swung his sword and it landed on the pig that was running towards him, the rest of the pigs pounced on him.
Lin Han closed his eyes almost instantly. Amidst a few short screams, he heard the sound of "crackling" blood coughing up, and then there was no sound.
When the pigs dispersed again, only a pool of blood remained on the ground.
There were 7 players, and one was missing at the beginning of the second assessment.
The female butcher showed a terrifying smile that she hadn't seen in a long time.
She had been slapped in the face by Yin Yue before, and it was only at this moment that she finally saw something that made her happy: for a monster, there is probably nothing more pleasurable than seeing her target lose his life.
With wolves in front and tigers behind, Lin Han chose to continue relying on Yin Yue. Possible danger is safer than absolute danger.
He was safe. After witnessing the failure of their predecessors, the other players became more and more agitated. No one stood up to make a second attempt. They all gradually approached Yin Yue, as if hoping that Yin Yue would protect them while protecting Lin Han.
No one went to the pigpen anymore. The conveyor belt in the corner was turning with a clatter, but no one hung even a single pig on it. The expression of the female butcher standing by became more and more dangerous.
Who wouldn't have noticed?
But they all stood by Yin Yue, hoping that Yin Yue would continue to intimidate the female butcher and let this second test go to hell.
This kind of future was something Lin Han could foresee, but he really didn't have any good solution.
Because he is a beneficiary, he does not fall into the category of people who have the ability to solve the problem.
Lin Han didn't say anything, but Yin Yue looked unhappy. Perhaps his and Lin Han's "world of two" was disturbed by someone.
His willingness to treat Lin Han well doesn't mean he is willing to help these strangers. Compared to his gentle appearance in front of Lin Han, Yin Yue Ban Shen treats other people like a flood or a beast, and they cannot be approached easily. He is an extremely cold and ruthless person.
As for them, Yin Yue seemed too lazy to even speak. She just pulled Lin Han's hand and took three steps back, keeping a distance from everyone else.
Keep away from strangers.
Among the remaining four players, there was someone Lin Han knew, Feng Qiqi, with whom he had a brief exchange when the introductions were made upstairs. Her face was pale, and she probably had no ability to protect herself, just like Lin Han, but was ruthlessly "abandoned" by Yin Yue, which made her a little panic about the future.
But there is no point in delaying like this.
Before they could successfully persuade Yin Yue to help them, the peace was completely broken by the female butcher.
No one went into the pigpen, no one tried to hang up the dead pigs, and none of them completed the factory's assessment.
In this case, either players will continue to be forced to participate in the assessment, or a new crisis will be created to kill everyone together.
Lin Han guessed, but he didn't dare to think about it. After all, he had to go through all the dangers himself.
But the female butcher really couldn't wait any longer.
Perhaps out of consideration for Yin Yue, she did not try to continue the assessment, but ended the entire assessment directly.
"It seems that none of our people have passed the assessment," the female butcher's voice rasped. "The factory is indeed short of manpower. Since you can't become a full-time employee, then do what you can for the factory."
At the end of her words, the corners of the female butcher's mouth cracked, and the excitement and murderous intent in her eyes could not be hidden at all.
Who knows what she wants to do at this time?
Lin Han didn't know.
No one else knows either.
But the next second, when they turned their eyes and were about to look for clues, they found that the door of the pigpen not far away was opened.
Throughout the basement and the large square, the doors of the pig pens that were divided into countless parts were opened.
The pigs with red eyes and thick skin looked in the direction of the door. After hesitating for a while, they rushed out one after another. Their red eyes stared straight at Lin Han and the others, and the sound of grinding their teeth never stopped.
Lin Han: “…”
The female butcher chose to attack indiscriminately, hoping to wipe out everyone here.
My goodness, originally they were just facing a group of pigs in a pigpen, but now it has been upgraded to all of them.
Lin Han: Isn’t this more dangerous than before?
The pigs with scarlet eyes began to move, and seemed to be slowly approaching them. Lin Han looked at Yin Yue, who was still calm and not afraid at all, and took his hand and ran towards the corridor they came from.
The female butcher did not intend to take action herself. Perhaps she did not want to confront Yin Yue head-on, but even if she was not Yin Yue's opponent, she could really force the rest of the people to death by various methods.
If Lin Han continued to stay here, he would definitely not be able to leave.
At this moment, Lin Han was glad that his foot was not injured, so he ran out first and was faster than everyone else.
Even if it was Yin Yue, if she was really surrounded here, she would probably be very troubled.
This might be the first time that Lin Han felt that he had been of some help to Yin Yue.
This can't compare to Yin Yue's help to him, but Lin Han will feel a little more at ease.
Hearing the sudden howling, screaming and footsteps behind him, Lin Han knew that everyone was running and that someone might have lost his life, but he didn't dare to look back.
That must have been a terrifying scene.
He didn't dare, nor did he want to.
Lin Han heard Yin Yue chuckle, and before he could react, he was no longer pulling Yin Yue to run, but Yin Yue was running with him.
Yin Yue's arm was around his waist, as if she was holding him tightly to her side with one hand. Lin Han only saw the scene in front of him changing rapidly. They had already passed through the corridor where they had walked for a long time, rushed up the stairs, and returned to the ground.
The footsteps could still be heard behind them. The only two lucky ones rushed up. This time they did not try to follow Yin Yue, but turned around and ran in a random direction.
Lin Han could hear the "thump thump" sound of footsteps. When Yin Yue tried to take him to hide somewhere farther away, he quickly pulled him into the next room.
This was an empty room, without even a trace of a slaughterhouse. There were several large cabinets on the side of the entrance. Lin Han wanted to hide in them first, at least to avoid the latest wave of pursuit.
Yin Yue held him back and said, "Let's hide somewhere else. This place is too close to the stairwell."
With Yin Yue's strength, there is actually no need to worry, he just wants to join Lin Han in making some trouble.
"Let's get out of here before they come up."
This was the second time Yin Yue had persuaded him. Lin Han subconsciously felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't figure out what was wrong. However, he didn't have time to think about it. He heard the crazy and chaotic footsteps in his ears. Obviously, the pigs in the basement had dealt with those who had fallen behind before, and they could only hide first.
Lin Han opened the cabinet and said to Yin Yue, "Hide for a while, we'll come back later..."
As she spoke, Lin Han just opened the cabinet door and turned her head to see a pale face. Her breathing stopped instantly.
This was a man, a strange man that Lin Han had never seen before.
He opened his eyes wide and opened his mouth slightly, as if he had lost his breath in extreme shock. He leaned against the cabinet, and when Lin Han opened the cabinet door, they met face to face.
He was wearing work clothes and looked like an ordinary person, completely different from what a character in the dungeon should look like.
Lin Han had seen two people other than players in the factory copy, a factory manager and a female butcher. Their clothes were completely different from this person's.
A somewhat absurd guess emerged in Lin Han's mind: this person was also a player, but he died here and was not discovered by him until now.
But there were 14 of them, and someone dragged a corpse from somewhere else, so there were 15 people in total. The number of people matched in the copy was also 15, so how could it suddenly become 16?
Lin Han couldn't figure it out, and he subconsciously wanted to ask Yin Yue for help.
But the next second, he found a hole in the man's left temple. It ran from the left to the right, and it looked very clean and had a considerable diameter.
As if it was stretched open by something, the blood almost soaked all the hair in that place...
