Chapter 103 Suicide
A group of people suddenly appeared at the entrance of the White Moon Base, and a strong smell of blood spread out.
"Ouch! Quick, quick, give me a splint. It hurts so much... Ouch!"
"What's going on? You guys only went out a short while ago and you're back already?"
"Is the situation very bad?"
"My goodness, there are more than a dozen of you! And you're all injured after all this time?"
The fat man, not-so-thin, finished splinting his friend, wiped the blood from his face, and gasped, "Damn it! This was all done by our own people!"
Bystanders were shocked: "What's going on? Backstabbing? Who is this guy? Block him! We absolutely can't let this kind of person into the White Moon Base..."
"That heartless bastard, he does all sorts of inhuman things."
"How come there are still people robbing people now? I really should suggest that the base leader block those robbers to prevent them from ruining the atmosphere of the White Moon Base."
"That's right. I've seen people in the chat area say several times that there have been robberies in various places, and many people have taken photos and exposed those people."
The fat man waved his hand, indicating that he had calmed down by now.
The teammate next to him, enduring the pain, explained: "Today we took the newbies out to practice their abilities and check out the situation outside. We didn't expect to be surrounded by night monsters just a few meters from the space station."
"We formed a circle, holding torches and flashlights, and seeing that the night-stalking monster didn't attack us, we thought everything was fine, but then..."
The fat man, who wasn't thin, covered his eyes with his hands, squatted on the ground, and choked out, "Several people committed suicide, so many people died... Waaah..."
"Yes, a lot of people died. Many of them committed suicide without knowing why..."
"We didn't even have time to react. By the time we realized what was happening, six or seven of our brothers were already dead... Waaaaah..."
The funeral director had wrapped two bandages around his neck and looked sad.
It's not that I hadn't witnessed deaths before, but after coming to the White Moon Base, my companions were all living good lives and safe and sound, and then suddenly...
It's all his fault. He shouldn't have taken advantage of everyone's new abilities and led people out when the situation was unclear.
Many people who were originally planning to go out and check the situation have hesitated and decided to wait and see.
Several groups of people returned to the White Moon Base one after another, all of them injured. Some even had severed hands and feet, their limbs eaten by the Night Stalkers and unable to be reattached with splints.
Seeing this situation, Jiang Baiyue felt worried. She had been planning to send people to mine in the cave.
She led her mercenaries to each space station to observe the situation. Every place was pitch black, and without light, there was no visibility at all.
The monsters, however, were completely unaffected. Not only could they see the players, but their health also increased, and they became faster.
The number of zombies within the area where the territory stone is buried is still very small, and the night monsters cannot break through. However, once they leave the area of the territory stone, the night monsters pounce on them like dogs seeing a bone.
...
Five-party base.
"Captain! Xiaobai committed suicide, we couldn't stop him, you have to go and see!"
A red-haired woman in armor ran into a wooden hut with two guards standing watch, her face filled with panic.
Little Star frowned, then stood up abruptly: "Give her sleeping pills, give her sleeping pills first!"
"The sleeping pills are gone. Before, when I tried to buy them, those people wouldn't sell them to me even at a high price."
Money Jar followed Captain Little Star out, saying as they walked, "I'll buy some from Lying Flat Salted Fish first. Those people definitely want to hoard medicine and sell it at a high price."
The two arrived at the residential area managed by their team, where a group of people were crowding outside a wooden house.
The crowd was noisy, interspersed with a sharp howl, like that of a wild beast or a zombie.
"noob!"
The silver-haired woman was pinned to the ground by several people, her mouth stuffed with several pieces of rags, yet she was still struggling.
Her chin and cheeks were rubbed raw and bleeding, staining the ground red. She was screaming and her eyes were faintly red.
"Her teeth have become sharper! Captain, look!"
Little Star pried open Little White's mouth, feeling a chill in her heart and her hands trembling.
Xiao Bai's front teeth have become sharp. These are people we see every day, and besides, the tips of human teeth should normally be flat, but now they are...
"Little White, won't you turn into a monster too?"
The scene fell silent. The companion was sad, and the eyes of the others were filled with mixed emotions, including doubt, fear, and worry.
"You'd better lock him up! What if he turns into a monster and bites people if you're not careful!"
"Yeah, it's hopeless, maybe we should kick it out..."
Little Star's eyes sharpened as she stared at the speaker: "Our own people will take responsibility. Everyone should also carefully check their teammates and those around them."
One wave subsides, another rises.
The people at the Jiulin base have undergone a large-scale mutation. If it weren't for the base's rules suppressing it, there would have been massive casualties.
A wary resident, pistol in hand, looked at the bound, screaming mutant on the ground and suggested, "Chief! Lock them up! What if they start biting and injuring people?!"
The woman burst into tears and rushed out, clutching a man dressed in tattered wooden armor: "No! My son! My son saved your life just yesterday! You, you, you're not even human today! Bah! Get out of here!"
There were more than 10 people tied up on the ground. Many of them had family and friends, and some had just reunited with their families.
A little girl desperately threw herself on her older sister, begging those around her not to hurt her.
"Waaah, my sister is just sick, just sick, please, give me time, I'll go buy medicine, I'll go buy medicine..."
"Dad, look at me, I'm your daughter, sob... No, no, please, my dad is still conscious, he didn't hurt you..."
Some people around couldn't bear it; he was perfectly fine just yesterday.
"Why? Why is this happening? Is it because it's not dawn yet?"
"Eternal Night, and we players can turn into monsters too, how are we supposed to cope? No wonder that entire region was wiped out..."
"There must be some reason for the mutation, right? Otherwise, if it happens randomly, no one can avoid it, can they?"
Some older people speculated that it might be some kind of infectious disease, but younger people thought it was unlikely. Instead, they thought it might be some strange poison that caused the players to mutate.
A short-haired woman stared at the people on the ground, deep in thought: "Were they all injured and didn't receive treatment? Was there poison on the monster's claws that caused this?"
"Yes, yes, ask the people around them, they'll definitely know where they went and what monster they encountered."
Suddenly, one of them stared at the person next to him, took a big step back, and said warily, "You're injured too, kid. Check your condition!"
The person being stared at immediately tensed up, looked around, and felt that everyone wanted to tie him up right away.
"Ah! Me, it's just a small cut. I was cut by a piece of metal when I was running away."
"Then why didn't you use bandages to treat it quickly! This is so scary!"
"Bandages are so expensive. I was thinking of just letting a small cut heal on its own. You all know how expensive medicine is these days. The person bound on the ground probably couldn't afford medicine either."
