Zheng Shi came hurriedly.
But he found that the atmosphere on the scene was so solemn that it made him feel a little breathless.
There was no smile on anyone's face, and a sad mood was spreading silently.
Zheng Shi walked heavily to Meng Qingyin and asked casually, "What's wrong with you all? Where's my eldest brother? Why can't I see him?"
Meng Qingyin avoided Zheng Shi's gaze and whispered, "Zheng Yi...he's dead."
Zheng Shi didn't believe it, smiled and said, "Don't joke with me, didn't you just tell me that my brother is fine? This joke is not funny at all..."
Meng Qingyin's face was still heavy.
Zheng Shi's heart sank suddenly.
Chen Leying's eyes were red and she choked up, saying, "What Meng Meng said is true. Zheng Yang is dead."
Zheng Shi still didn't want to accept this fact. "Who is Zheng Yang? My eldest brother is Zheng Yi. Did you get the wrong person?"
"Zheng Yang is Zheng Yi," Chen Leying said. "I don't know why his name and appearance changed after he entered this game, but I'm sure he is Zheng Yang."
No matter how much Zheng Shi tried to deceive himself, it was of no use. The fact was that his elder brother was dead.
"How did my eldest brother die?" he asked in a hoarse voice.
Although Zheng Yi fell from a small slope at that time, he immediately went down to look for it. There was a stream below, so it should not be fatal.
How did the eldest brother die?
Thinking of the scene where Zheng Yang's soul flew away in her arms, Chen Leying felt a dull pain in her chest. "I don't know. He clearly said that he would always be my brother, but he still died..."
Like Chen Leping, she lost her two brothers in one day.
Those who are involved are often confused, while those who are not involved can see things more clearly.
Chen Leying, still immersed in grief, had no time to think about this matter carefully, but Meng Qingyin remembered what Zheng Yi said before he died, "I am already a dead person."
The NPC in the game turned out to be a person from the original world. This was shocking enough, but Zheng Yang's words caused a storm in Meng Qingyin's heart.
Why do people who are dead in the real world appear here?
What about those other NPCs?
Is this the case for everyone?
Can those gods actually control the souls of the dead?
Does that mean that all the dead can meet again here?
Then her mother...
Zheng Shi suddenly covered his face and burst into tears.
Meng Qingyin couldn't bear it and stepped forward to comfort him: "Your brother has put an end to a worry and left with a smile. You have to support your organization for him."
Zheng Shi suddenly cried even louder, "How can I support an organization of more than a thousand people?"
Meng Qingyin: “…”
After comforting Zheng Shi, Meng Qingyin then asked about the reason why they went into the mountains.
Zheng Shi sobbed as he replied, "We also heard that there were gears in Wan Shen Mountain, so my eldest brother took ten of us into the mountains to look for gears and make air conditioners for the benefit of the brothers in the organization. But we got lost as soon as we entered the mountain. My eldest brother, I, and the other brothers got separated. We wanted to get out of the mountain, but we couldn't find the way back. My eldest brother also accidentally fell down a small slope..."
If he had known that this trip into the mountains would have such tragic consequences, he would never have agreed to let Zheng Yi go into the mountains.
"Didn't you encounter that thing?" Zhang Yan came closer and asked in a low voice.
Zheng Shi was confused: "What is it?"
Zhang Yan: "It's the thing that can move freely in the fog, and it also plays tricks."
Zheng Shi was even more bewildered. "What fog? We didn't encounter any fog. Do you know how to get out of the mountain? I want to go back and build a cenotaph for my elder brother..."
As he spoke, his eyes became red again.
Meng Qingyin found it very strange that Zheng Shi and his friends did not encounter heavy fog.
Could it be that the thick fog was created by that thing?
"Perhaps, we have to defeat it before we can get out of this mountain." Meng Qingyin said.
"What are we waiting for? Let's go and find that guy now!" Zhang Yan immediately stood up and said.
Meng Qingyin asked Zizi: "Do you still remember the smell of that thing?"
When that thing pretended to be Fei Qiu, Zizi was in the tent, so she was not sure whether Zizi smelled its scent.
Zizi nodded immediately: "I still remember that I smelled a faint fishy smell when it came, but at that time I thought it was because Fei Qiu had eaten too much clam meat, so I didn't say anything."
Fei Qiu: "..." Blame him for being too greedy last night.
So, everyone packed up and followed Zizi to look for that thing.
However, we walked along the stream all the way, and the road here was made of pebbles of different sizes and shapes, some of which were covered with thick moss, making it very difficult to walk.
After walking for more than an hour, Zizi suddenly stopped, lowered his head and sniffed the slippery pebbles.
"The smell disappears here." After a moment, it looked up and said to Meng Qingyin.
Meng Qingyin looked around and found that there was no difference between this place and the surrounding areas, except that the streams converged here to form a lake with no end in sight.
The water in the lake is deep green and looks very calm.
The smell of that thing disappeared here, and Zizi said he smelled a fishy odor again. Could it be...
That thing is hiding in this lake?
Apparently, she wasn't the only one who thought this way. Zhang Yan crossed his arms, grabbed the hem of her clothes, and easily took them off by lifting them up.
Lu Cheng quickly covered Qin Jiu's eyes.
Meng Qingyin: “???”
Zhang Yan smiled at her and said, "I suspect that thing is under the lake. I'll go down and take a look. I bought this dress from Hanmei, so I can't get it dirty."
Although he spoke in high-sounding terms, even Zizi could see through his little tricks: "...You just want to show off your muscles."
Zhang Yan pretended to glare at Zizi, "How can you have such dirty thoughts!"
Cub: “…”
I've never seen anyone turn the tables like this.
Meng Qingyin couldn't bear to watch it any longer: "Go down and take a look, be careful."
Zhang Yan then jumped into the lake, creating ripples on the surface.
Qin Jiu finally pulled Lu Cheng's hand down and asked, "Why did you cover my eyes just now?"
Lu Cheng said sourly: "If you want to see abdominal muscles, look at mine. I have also been training my abdominal muscles recently."
Qin Jiu expressed disinterest and ignored him.
Everyone stared intently at the lake, which was shimmering and a thin layer of water vapor seemed to be rising from the center of the lake.
Water vapor?
Meng Qingyin realized something was wrong and shouted, "Zhang Yan, come up quickly!"
After a moment, Zhang Yan suddenly surfaced and swam towards this side.
When he got ashore, Meng Qingyin found that there was a cloud of water vapor in the center of the lake, which seemed to be forming white fog.
Zhang Yan was unaware of the changes on the lake surface and looked frustrated. "The lake bottom isn't deep, but there's nothing there."
"No," Meng Qingyin stared at the center of the lake surrounded by white mist, "It's right here."
