Chapter 134 Sea Amusement Park (Part 43)
In addition to those large hunters, some small predators in the ocean also took advantage of the chaos to climb onto the cruise ship. Humans were like lambs that had strayed into a pack of wolves, and were driven away in all directions by the wolves.
During this hunt, the little monsters that lived in the hull but became homeless due to the explosion would occasionally pop up and trip up the players.
The few remaining players were quickly scattered in the darkness by the monsters that attacked from all directions. The players who managed to survive to this point were no pushovers either. Soon the ship was filled with the corpses of various monsters, and the smell of blood and fish intertwined, concealing the faint strange fragrance that had been floating in the cabin for some time.
Ning Hanqi keenly noticed that the number of monsters was increasing, and no matter how he tried to hide, those monsters seemed to be able to find him accurately.
What bait has it put on itself?
The other party kept saying that she was afraid, but from Xia Yingnuan's point of view, the look in her eyes didn't seem to reveal much fear.
But these words... can be said to be very obvious.
Besides, it was Xia Yingnuan who first brought up the idea of drinking water, so she couldn't pretend to be stupid at this moment.
So Xia Yingnuan said, "Shall I go with you?"
Zhao Yuan, who was standing next to them, heard their conversation and asked, "Are you two going out?"
Xia Yingnuan nodded, "Zhong Yu seems to have a sore throat. I'll take her to get some water."
Zhao Yuan frowned slightly, "It's too dangerous, I'll go."
Ning Hanqi, who was lying behind Xia Yingnuan, heard Zhao Yuan's sudden intervention and her eyes darkened, but the emotion came and went quickly, and she did not reveal too much emotion.
But it would have been boring if Xia Yingnuan hadn't accompanied him, and Ning Hanqi wouldn't have bothered to drink water.
So she said, "It's okay not to drink water."
Zhao Yuan glanced at her pale face, still considering that she and Wu Xing had to face this high-level copy because of her, and she still felt guilty.
So Zhao Yuan got out of bed.
"Okay, it's not a big deal. I'll go."
Ning Hanqi paused, lowered his eyes to hide the indifference that flashed across his face, and when he looked up again, Ning was still smiling softly.
"Thank you for your help."
Nothing else happened that first night.
By the late hour of the night, everyone was unable to resist the sleepiness, their eyelids were drooping, and they were drowsy.
Zhao Yuan said, "Nothing will happen on the first day. Go to sleep and we'll go find the village chief tomorrow."
It has to be said that the sense of security brought by having a veteran by your side is indeed different. Upon hearing this, Lin Hui and Li Nanmeng no longer insisted and fell asleep.
Ning Hanqi glanced sideways and saw that the person in front of him was still awake.
She moved closer to Xia Yingnuan and quickly attracted her attention.
Because there were five of them lying on one bed, it was no problem for them to squeeze in the middle. Therefore, Xia Yingnuan didn't think there was anything wrong with the other party's actions. She just wondered if she had squeezed her out of space.
Thinking of this, Xia Yingnuan moved her body and made some space.
Ning Hanqi raised his eyebrows slightly, a smile on his lips.
Since Xia Yingnuan had made room, she didn't mind lying down inside again, almost sticking to Xia Yingnuan.
The air at night was not that cold, but the skin temperature of the girl next to me was a little too low.
Xia Yingnuan's eyes fell on her, and she could see Zhong Yu's face clearly in the bright moonlight outside the window.
Her already beautiful face would not be affected in the slightest by the addition of some sickness, but would instead add a touch of pale beauty.
The next day soon arrived. When Xia Yingnuan woke up, Ning Hou found that there was no one around her. She frowned slightly and then got out of bed.
Xia Yingnuan woke up quite early. It was just dawn outside and still chilly in the morning. Apart from Zhong Yu, Zhao Yuan was not in the house either.
But Zhao Yuan can understand, Zhong Yu... why does he also get up so early?
This thought flashed through Xia Yingnuan's mind.
She opened the door and as soon as she walked out, she saw Zhong Yu standing in the yard.
Coincidentally, the other party heard the noise and Ning also saw her.
Xia Yingnuan greeted the other party.
Ning Hanqi narrowed her eyes and said, "You got up early. Do you want to have breakfast?"
This is a very normal question, but in the context of a copy, it doesn't seem so normal.
Ning Hanqi probably saw Xia Yingnuan's inner emotions and laughed out loud, and stopped teasing her. "Go wash up and wake them up."
Ning Hanqi reached out and tucked the hair away from her ear. "We'll go to the village chief in the morning."
Xia Yingnuan suddenly understood, and then immediately nodded, "Okay."
She acted quickly. After calling Lin Hui and Li Nanmeng, she finished washing up in no time.
That’s good. Ning Zhaoyuan and Wu Xing are here too.
"Let's go, this morning we'll go to the village chief and ask for information while we have breakfast."
Everyone rushed to the village chief's house.
Unlike the two small houses allocated to them, the village chief's house is obviously much larger, as is the dining table.
However, it was still a bit difficult to accommodate the seven of them for dinner, not to mention that the village chief also had to sit at the table.
A person sat down next to Xia Yingnuan, his arm pressed tightly against hers.
Xia Yingnuan was stunned for a moment, then turned around and saw Zhong Yu looking at her.
The other person curled his lips and looked much better than yesterday.
Ning Hanqi said, "Do you mind if I sit here?"
Xia Yingnuan nodded indifferently.
Shen Yuan sat down next to him and asked quietly, "Can we eat the food here with the NPC? Will they poison us?"
“…”
Wu Xing: "No."
Shen Yuan: "How can you be so sure?"
Wu Xing was a little impatient, but he still explained: "This is the same as the dungeon. We are now on the same side as the village chief. There is no need for him to poison us."
Ning Hanqi listened and smiled contemptuously, with an ambiguous and somewhat sarcastic meaning.
However, she quickly concealed her emotions, and when others observed Ning again, she was a pure and innocent little white flower again.
After hearing Wu Xing's words, Xia Yingnuan slowly lowered her eyes, as if thinking about something.
In other words, in other copy worlds, will there be situations where we need to be wary of NPCs?
After all, not all NPCs are in the same camp as them.
To be honest, if it was just Xia Yingnuan, she really wouldn't have thought of these places.
Because she had so little experience, she would take things for granted. People in dungeons get hungry and tired, and they subconsciously ignore the dangers posed by NPCs.
After all, everyone will think, I am only in the dungeon to complete the task, and the rest has nothing to do with me. Therefore, it is natural to ignore the threat value of NPC to the player.
The breakfast is simple, porridge, steamed buns and side dishes.
Ning Hanqi held the spoon in one hand, and the grayish porcelain spoon collided with the bottom of the bowl, making some pleasant crisp sounds.
She looked at the porridge in the bowl with a faint gaze, her fingertips were as white as snow. If the spoon was porcelain white, it would probably not be as white as her wrist.
Xia Yingnuan wasn't too hungry, so she didn't drink too much. She glanced at Zhong Yu next to her, who was stirring the rice in his bowl. After thinking for a moment, she asked in a friendly manner, "Too hot?"
Ning Hanqi came back to her senses, a subconscious smile already on her lips, but only she knew how much of it was perfunctory and how much was sincere.
Ning Hanqi said: "Ah, no, I just don't like drinking porridge."
More than that.
Ning Hanqi slowly lowered his eyes, suppressing the disgust in his eyes.
After all, Ning Hanqi has been driving his big character through dungeons for so many years, but he has never fallen to the point of drinking porridge at an NPC's house like he is now.
To be honest, she found it hard to drink.
And before listening to the information from the village chief, Ning Hanqi would not drink it. Even though this was just a novice copy, her body was still a small account.
After getting the answer, Xia Yingnuan stopped paying attention to it because, after all, it had nothing to do with her.
But before he looked away, he saw the other person's pale face, remembered her cough yesterday, and still gave her some advice.
"Drink more hot soup and hot water, maybe your throat will feel better."
Ning Hanqi raised his eyes and looked at Xia Yingnuan with a smile.
She concealed the nonchalance in her voice and disguised herself as an obedient little sister.
"good."
The movement of his hands seemed as if he was going to drink the porridge, but he threw down the spoon after Xia Yingnuan looked away.
When they were almost done eating, Wu Xing asked the village chief, "Can you tell me what strange things are happening in the village? And what about the so-called death on the night of the full moon?"
The village chief sighed and then began to tell the story slowly.
"There's a forest in front of our village. Although it borders the forest, for many years, the villagers have been farming for a living and rarely go into the woods. Even if they do go, they never hunt. They mostly collect firewood for cooking."
"And the animals in the forest don't interfere with us. They only come to eat our chickens, ducks, and pigs very occasionally during the quiet winter."
"But...but it started last winter, after the heavy snow. I don't know why..."
As he said this, the village chief's hands trembled slightly.
Wu Xing had anticipated his next words, so he asked, "Have wild animals started attacking the villagers?"
The village chief nodded at first, but then shook his head.
"At first we suspected it was a wild animal, but how could a wild animal abandon its domesticated pigs and ducks and attack humans?
We've also set traps before, so if it was really a wild wolf or a wild boar, there's no way we wouldn't react at all."
Wu Xing frowned, not because of the difficulty, but because of the words of the village chief.
To be honest, what the village chief said was very strange, and what he said was strange in itself.
But Wu Xing didn't say anything, but waited for the village chief to continue.
The village chief touched his pipe, but considering that there were many girls here, he finally gave up the idea of smoking.
"What's strange is that every time someone died, it was on a full moon day. The death was extremely horrific. Their stomachs were cut open, all their internal organs were dug out, blood was dripping, their faces were scratched and even their skin was torn into strips, but none of their organs were missing."
"You said, if a wild animal eats a person, it should also eat some of the internal organs, right?"
When Shen Yuan heard this, his face turned pale. Although he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he felt uncomfortable just by hearing the village chief's description.
Xia Yingnuan touched her forehead. Although she knew she shouldn't force it, the village chief's words were indeed confusing. It seemed that he was talking about this and that, and it was very confusing.
Of course, this is understandable. After all, this is not the only thing that has happened and been witnessed by Ning Hou. It is naturally impossible for him to be so well-organized in his narration.
Village chief: “At first we all thought that some wild animal had entered the village, but it didn’t look like that.
Later we speculated that someone in the village might have committed murder, but five months had passed. How could such a fool have killed so many people?
"Besides, we are all honest people who work hard to farm. How could there be a murderer in the village?"
"So I still feel that something is wrong here, so I asked you to come here. I want you to help us investigate and catch the murderer."
This Ning Hou Zhao Yuan asked, "Have you ever thought about catching it yourself?"
Village Chief: "Of course I did. On the night of the full moon, I found a few strong men to patrol at night, but... even they were killed!"
Recalling this, fear appeared on the village chief's face.
"They were the strongest men in our village, and even they were killed. I really, really don't know what to do!"
It's you.
[…I understand. You want to keep that promise.]
【But you'd better not be the mastermind behind this. 】
[And what exactly did you mean by those words you said in my dream?]
