Chapter 129 Monsters of Strange Shapes
Ye Xing stared at the fish he had caught, staring at the fish.
But unlike him, that fish had more than two eyes.
Looking at the fish's big, shining eyes all over its body, he didn't know how to react for a moment.
I can neither reel this fishing rod in nor let it go. It would be even more inappropriate to just throw it away. What should I do?
He slowly lowered the fishing rod and lowered the fish into the water.
Can you walk around by yourself?
The person who gave up fishing looked at the fish he had caught with great anticipation, hoping that the other party would let bygones be bygones and leave.
Unfortunately, the fish would not let him go like this.
Several fish that were originally swimming leisurely in the water gathered together, half floated out of the water, and stared at the humans on the shore with the eyes on their backs.
There must be something wrong with this sewer, right?
Ye Xuan forced himself to look away, trying not to look at those fish that looked curious.
Where does this sewer connect to?
It can't be a chemical plant!
He thought of those mutant-looking mice, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt that this was possible.
Isn't that what all those stories say? Wastewater flows out - animals mutate - harm humans - environmental management. It's a typical environmental theme.
He didn't expect that there would be such a plot in "Dream Travel". It seems that their company still attaches great importance to environmental protection publicity.
However, the current situation made him no longer in the mood to think about environmental protection issues of the Ministry of Environmental Protection.
How can those fish come ashore?
Looking at those strange fish crawling onto the shore, Ye Xuan couldn't help but feel panicked.
But he still had to pretend to be fearless. After all, who knew how many people were watching the official live broadcast of the real-life NPC.
He thought the broadcast idea was good at first, but now that he has a lot of fans, he has some "idol baggage" and is a little reluctant to face it.
Oh, that would look embarrassing.
He was worried about how he would appear in the live broadcast. What if he looked like a complete clown?
He won’t lose fans just because of this.
The real-life NPC who was worried about others forgot one thing. The first batch of "fans" who "followed" him didn't do so for any other reason. They just paid attention to him because of his awkward acting and funny reactions.
This is not his way to lose followers, but a way to gain followers.
Seeing the strange fish, which could scare people with trypophobia to death, approaching him little by little, he panicked and ran towards the depths of the sewer.
While running, he observed the surrounding environment. This sewer was really unusual and he must not take it lightly.
However, the sewer that was thought to lead all the way to the sea actually has an end.
At least there is an end on the shore.
Listening to the sticky flapping sounds getting closer and closer behind him, he knew that the distance between him and the group of strange fish was gradually shortening.
He looked at the water flowing smoothly through the passage under the wall below, wondering whether he should follow the water and leave.
But this is sewer water... Even though I know it's just in a game, it's still hard to get over it in my heart.
Well, just go through the wall.
When choosing a fishing rod, he saw a set of props in the mall that was very suitable for the current scenario, but he was not sure what the actual effect would be.
He pulled out a piece of chalk and a doorknob with a suction cup, and that was the set.
Although it looks a bit simple, it works.
He used chalk to draw three lines on the wall at the end to serve as a "door", and then attached the door handle to the middle right side of the door in the painting.
In this way, this is a door that looks like a simple drawing but can actually be opened.
Ye Xing was not sure what was behind this wall, but he could only take a gamble.
After all, the fish were almost touching his heels!
He quickly turned the doorknob, pulled the door, moved sideways, and closed the door in one go, leaving the strange fish behind.
Phew, it was a close call.
He leaned against the wall that had lost its function as a door and breathed a sigh of relief. It was so thrilling just now. Fortunately, he reacted quickly and his hands were steady. He drew the door in one go without wasting any time.
But, is there something wrong here?
He looked at the scene before him, his mind full of questions.
Uh...did he accidentally enter some strange laboratory?
In front of me is an indoor zoo.
Yes, there is a zoo behind the wall in the sewer.
And it’s a zoo that looks like a complete freak show.
If there wasn't a "Zoo" sign clearly hanging here, he wouldn't have been able to tell that this was a zoo.
Because the animals here look so distorted!
He didn't dare to look any further and had to find another way.
This shouldn't be the place that leads to the "ground", right?
He felt that he couldn't stay in this sewer any longer. If he stayed there for too long, he might turn into a ghost.
Moreover, he was now a "mysterious man" who had lost his place to stay in the sewers. It would probably be the same no matter where he was, so he might as well go back to the ground.
So he started searching in the mall again.
He probably couldn't count on this scenario, as those monsters looked so scary, and it would be very bad if they came out and attacked him.
Ye Xing glanced through the cage at the monster that was chewing a piece of colorless meat without any appetite. It looked a little anorexic and probably didn't want to eat him.
But the meat doesn’t look fresh, does it?
Could it be that these "animals" are fed like this? It's inevitable that there's nothing good to eat in the sewers.
He thought of the cans of food in the "camp" that were snatched away by the rats as soon as he saw them, and felt empty in his stomach.
There is also a need to eat in the game. It's the mysterious man who is hungry, not him.
But the core of the holographic game is "reality", and soon he also felt hungry.
Is there anything to eat here?
He looked at the monsters in the cage.
No, no, this is not a game where you have to find food in a maze. How can you eat monster meat?
Besides, he just felt a little empty in his stomach, not starving, so there was no need to eat monster meat.
Thinking of this, he didn't seem so eager to eat anymore.
The main reason is that those monsters look too deformed and it is impossible to eat them.
Even though we can tell that their original forms are common poultry and livestock such as chickens, ducks, geese, pigs, cattle and sheep, but while their appearance has changed, who knows if the quality of their meat has changed?
What should he do if it tastes terrible?
It would be even better if it tasted delicious.
Moreover, these monsters might contain toxins, which would cause your health bar to drop rapidly after you eat them.
Even if we take a step back, these monsters are also the property of the "zoo" owner. How can he use them as food without permission?
Ye Xuan felt it was very strange. Under normal circumstances, he would definitely not have the idea of eating them, but just now, the moment he looked at the monster, there seemed to be a strange voice in his heart persuading him to try something new.
Er, maybe "fresh food".
Now that I think about it, that voice was indeed strange.
It didn't seem like his inner thoughts, but seemed to be cast in from the outside world.
It sounds...
So cool!
He thought of many scenes on the screen and in the big screen. Usually, the guys with this ability were either members of the protagonist group or the villain. In any case, they would not be passers-by who had nothing better to do and played a prank on him.
Is there a main storyline for this kind of small task?
He recalled that this temporary character didn't even have a pass standard, only an unclear sentence "You are a mysterious person living in the sewer."
Mysterious, too mysterious, so mysterious that he didn't know what to do.
However, this character setting task has now made new breakthroughs.
He seemed to be aware of the existence of another person in this plot - should it be "person"?
He looked at the monsters in front of him, and they all seemed to be out of their minds.
It must be a human, but I don't know what kind of person it is.
After thinking it through, he began to think of ways to leave here.
I was browsing the mall when it was interrupted halfway through. I only remember that something popped up when I exited the interface.
Ye Xuan opened the mall and found a small "Smart Recommendation" box with a big question mark printed on it.
It turns out that this recommendation is a blind box?
He looked at this thing, not knowing what it was, with some doubts.
But he is an employee, so he doesn't have to spend money to buy the props in the mall, and he won't lose anything if he makes the wrong choice.
So out of curiosity, he chose the recommended prop and waited for it to arrive.
With a loud "boom", he looked at the mecha in front of him and fell into a long silence.
Ah, this recommendation is really...
So cool!
Surprisingly, Ye Xuan didn't feel like complaining today, but just kept accepting these outrageous things.
It looks like something was eaten.
Is it the desire to complain?
Although he was not particularly interested in mechas, it was still exciting enough to see that he could own one.
He couldn't wait to try out what it was like to operate a mecha.
If this were posted on the forum, it would definitely become a hot topic, right?
He didn't know whether mechas were rare in the game. After all, the copies he had visited so far did not reach this level of technology.
If there is a mecha setting in the Chinese medicine plot copy, then it will not be about treating zombies, but about fighting zombies.
Ye Xing, who was driving the mecha, successfully broke through the obstacles on the top and reached the ground.
However, this place is very different from where he came from.
Had he been chased that far by the fish?
He remembered that before he went down to the sewer, he was still on a busy street. Even if it was not the city center, it could not be the desolate wilderness like it is now.
Looking at the trees around him, he couldn't help but worry whether there were any strange animals living there.
The sewer scene just now was about to leave him with a psychological trauma. Is it really okay to play games like this?
But then he thought again, although those monsters looked very strange, they were not particularly realistic in their horror style, but rather cartoon-like and curious in style.
This is probably for the purpose of passing the review.
He began to worry about the mental state of his colleagues in related projects.
Is it very stressful to make a finished product like this?
Don’t do it if you feel too stressed, because after you do it, you will hurt real NPCs.
