Chapter 159 Gunshan Hospital (7)
All the "guest rooms" on the second floor had no windows, so no light could get in. Once the lights were dimmed, almost nothing could be seen, only vague outlines.
Su Yue almost blurted out "Fuck!", but suddenly remembered that the Lord God was right next to him, so he shut up instantly, showing the reserved and cold attitude of a god.
He didn't want to expose any more weaknesses in front of the Lord God. It was already embarrassing enough.
But on the other hand, he felt a little more at ease knowing that the Lord God was with him.
Although both gods are now weak and powerless, they are colleagues who have been working together for a long time. They feel a little safer with each other by their side.
There is no need to worry about whether there is any danger because the store owner's voice has already sounded.
"The power is out, everyone! The power is out!" the shop owner's voice came through the loudspeaker, muffled and heavy. "Hurry and gather in the lobby!"
The so-called lobby was actually the small hall on the first floor. Players quickly gathered here.
Although it was afternoon, the entire homestay was not facing the sun, and only the main door and narrow windows allowed some sunlight to come in.
In the vast area of darkness, the occasional spots of light and shadow only make the hall look even more gloomy.
"When you came here, I told you that in addition to cleaning the rooms, you are also responsible for the necessary maintenance work in the B&B. Although you have completed the cleaning work, there is a power outage now, so you are needed to help." The boss said slowly.
The boss quickly hid a pair of electrician's pliers in a drawer and said, "It looks like a mouse chewed through the wires."
Everyone: “…”
It's obvious that you cut the wire yourself!
"We need someone to repair it. Number 1, 3, 5, you guys go do it." The shop owner said, then thought for a moment and said, "Oh, right, number 5 is dead, so number 4 will do it."
"Then, on number 8," the boss suddenly changed the subject, "go to the grocery store down the mountain and buy a box of light bulbs. We'll keep them as a backup."
.
Grocery store at the foot of the mountain.
This is a newly unlocked scene.
The 8th is Suyue.
Su Yue always felt that the B&B owner called out his name on purpose, perhaps because he was unhappy with him for organizing everyone to explore in an orderly manner.
It was as if the wires had definitely been cut intentionally by the B&B owner.
Just go ahead, it's just to buy a light bulb.
"I'll go with him." Cang Zhi said.
"Are you number 8 too?" the boss asked sarcastically. "If not, why would you be there if I didn't choose you?"
Based on Su Yue's understanding of the Lord God, if someone barked like a dog in his face, he would turn hostile without hesitation.
But whether it was because he didn't have a weapon and was feeling a little weaker, or because he simply needed help, Cang Zhi didn't argue with the boss. Instead, he continued to ask him in a gentle tone: "Then can I give my weapon to No. 8?"
"No." The boss still refused firmly, "Your weapon is already bound to you."
Cang Zhi didn't say anything else, but he was obviously still thinking about whether there was any room for maneuver. On the contrary, Su Yue couldn't stand it anymore.
This is the Lord God, the face of their divine realm. How can he be bullied by an NPC like this?
"Don't pay attention to him." Su Yue comforted Cang Zhi, "I'll be back soon."
When Su Yue said the first word, Cang Zhi's attention was completely gone from the boss. He listened to Su Yue carefully, and then nodded obediently.
The boss originally thought that Su Yue would be very scared, just like the players he had asked to get tools or repair wires before. Unexpectedly, Su Yue was not only not afraid of him, but also too lazy to pay attention to him.
The boss was so angry that he shouted, "You! Come here!"
Unexpectedly, Su Yue ignored him and smiled at Cang Zhi: "Then I'll leave?"
Cang Zhi glanced at the path outside the door, his expression still showing some worry, but he still nodded and said, "Okay."
.
Su Yue walked out of the store with a swagger. He could clearly hear the store owner shouting "You, you, you, you" from behind. He was too lazy to pay attention and walked down the mountain.
The walk down from the B&B is not long, and soon you will see a big iron gate, which should be the gate blocking the road mentioned by the group of players walking down.
Next to the iron gate was a high fence with spikes covered in dense thorns, a desolate and dilapidated area that had been in disrepair for a long time.
Normally, you can't get out of here, but this time, when Su Yue walked to the door, the iron gate opened with a "click".
The mountain road winds down, the spires of the houses are dimly shrouded in thick fog, and the doors are wide open, like a malicious invitation.
Su Yue was now unarmed and had no ability to fight. He looked outside for a while, picked up a branch, and walked out.
Yuxi!
There was only one way down the mountain, and although the fog was thick, Su Yue had no worries about getting lost.
After walking down a short distance, I saw a wooden signpost.
It is easy to see in tourist areas. It is a road sign in the shape of a small arrow. The downward direction points to "Qingshan Town", and the upward direction points to "Xiaoqingshan", which is the mountain behind the B&B.
After confirming the content of the downward arrow sign from a distance, Su Yue was about to leave when he suddenly saw something vaguely underneath the sign.
He moved closer, his expression suddenly frozen.
Hanging below the road sign was a paper notice.
It looks like it was temporarily pasted on and it probably hasn't been there for long.
Safety Warning:
There is an extremely dangerous knife-wielding man roaming around nearby, his appearance is shown in the picture.
[photo]
This person has a strong tendency to attack. Residents are advised to pay attention to self-protection and ensure personal safety! 】
The entire notice was in black and white, and even the photo was in black and white. The man in the photo had a shaved head and was grinning at the camera, but his expression didn't seem provocative, but more like a madness that had lost humanity.
.
The damp and cold white fog filled the air, bringing with it a chill that seemed to be able to devour people.
Su Yue felt that there was an 80% chance that the guy in the notice was the "fourth tourist" because this could explain the death of the night watch player. Moreover, according to the nature of these survival games, the most difficult NPCs would definitely be thrown to them.
He was a little nervous, of course, but more excited.
Although it was safe these two days, the game plot did not progress at all. Now there is some danger, but progress has finally come.
If his combat power wasn't too low now, Su Yue wouldn't even be nervous. He clenched the branch in his hand and gestured twice. The feeling of having no strength made him very uncomfortable, but it was not completely unacceptable.
The main thing is that the current situation is like this, and we have no choice but to accept it.
Walking further down, we soon arrived at Qingshan Town. The town was shrouded in thick fog and there was no one on the streets, but we could see new milk bottles and newspapers in the mailboxes at the doors. Smoke was rising from the chimneys of some houses because people were burning fires for heating.
These are all signs of life, meaning that there are people living here.
But no one came out, as if they were afraid of something.
Along the way, the "Safety Warning" still appeared sporadically, and at almost every corner of the street, one could see the crazy face of the man on the notice.
Su Yue didn't pay much attention to the face and continued looking at the road sign.
He noticed that the roads in the town were narrow and winding, and there were so many houses that they could be called "densely packed."
To Su Yue, some of the houses even seemed to be stacked on top of each other, with the walls embedded in the walls next door, but because the fog was too heavy, he could not see very clearly.
However, Su Yue noticed that the doors of these houses came in three colors: red, yellow and green, just like traffic lights.
All three colors have strong penetrating power and are clear even in such thick fog.
The sky above couldn't be seen clearly in the thick fog, so the time couldn't be determined. The "safety warnings" that could be seen everywhere were obviously very ominous.
Although Su Yue was not afraid, he did not want to commit suicide, so he concentrated on finding a store selling light bulbs.
The road signs indicate areas according to their layout, such as "residential area", "food area", "grocery area", etc. It seems that different types of stores are all together in this town.
Su Yue thought that the place selling light bulbs should be a hardware store, which is also the grocery section, so he walked in that direction.
Walking towards the grocery area, there are still red, yellow and green houses on both sides. Going forward, the road becomes a little wider, and it looks like a small square. The shops in the grocery area are located on three sides of the square, like traffic lights lined up in rows.
It was already dark when we reached the square.
The doors of the shops are all lit, as are the signs. If there weren't such thick fog, if the street wasn't so quiet as if it were dead, this town would actually have the beauty of a quiet, hustle and bustle of life.
There are more safety warning notices. They are posted in the square and illuminated by staggered lights. You can see one almost every two steps.
In the thick fog, the grinning face in the photo almost touched Su Yue's face several times, making him very uncomfortable.
Su Yue hesitated for a moment between the red "Agang Hardware", the yellow "Daily Necessities Supermarket" and the green "Amao Hardware". Feeling that the red one was too dangerous, he entered the "Amao Hardware Store" with a green door.
The door was closed, but it opened easily.
The light "click" sound was the only sound in the dead silent town.
.
After Su Yue walked in, he closed the door and locked it.
He looked around. The store was not big, only enough for four or five people to stand. In addition to the door he came in, there was also a back door. There were shelves on both sides, displaying the common goods found in hardware stores.
There was a counter in front of Su Yue, and behind the counter sat an old man playing with his mobile phone. The old man glanced at Su Yue and continued to play with his mobile phone with his head down.
His expression was very numb, as if he didn't actually pay attention to what was in the phone in front of him.
"What are you here for?" the old man asked directly without looking up.
"I'm a volunteer at the mountain B&B," Su Yue replied. "I'm here to buy light bulbs."
The old man pointed to the shelf and said, "Take it yourself. You are from the mountains, no wonder you dare to walk around the town so arrogantly."
"What do you mean?" Su Yue asked.
"This town is very dangerous. It is said that there is a perverted murderer. People will not go out unless necessary. Haven't you noticed? There are only two of you on the whole street." said the old man.
"Two people?" Su Yue was stunned, his spirit suddenly tense, "Who else besides me?"
The old man pointed out the window and said, "And there's the guy with the knife who's been following you since we entered the square."
