Chapter 63 (Three in One)
Wu Jian thought about it and felt that what Zhao Jian said made sense. He stopped his hand that was originally about to touch the snowflake and just blew it away.
Full grains can be seen in a small snowflake, and some small black dots are wriggling in the grains. However, Wu Jian did not pay attention.
The rainbow-colored snowflakes merged with the other snowflakes and became one of them.
Everyone walked slowly in the forest on the snowflakes. After listening to Zhao Jian's words, they did not touch the snowflakes out of curiosity.
They thought they could walk through the forest quickly, but after nearly four hours, they still hadn't gotten out. On the contrary, the snow in the forest was getting heavier and heavier.
In the heavy snow, the snowflakes on the umbrella accumulated more and more, condensing into a thick layer, and fell down as I walked.
Ankur shook the snowflakes off his raincoat and rubbed his arms.
"Do you feel cold?"
"cold?"
Wu Jian stopped and at this moment, he felt a cold wind blowing across his face, bringing a stinging pain.
"Strange, it's obviously not snowing, but there's a chill. What are these things in the air?" Tang Keke asked in confusion, exhaling cold air from his mouth.
Zhao Jian shivered with cold. "It's so cold. Let's not stop here. Let's find a place to shelter from the snow. If we stop any longer, we might not be able to move on."
"There seems to be a tree hole ahead. Let's go in first and wait until the snow stops before leaving."
When they heard that they could rest, everyone quickened their pace, but the footprints they left behind were covered by the snow in the next second.
Wu Jian arrived at the tree hole first, immediately folded his wings, and landed on the snow to walk.
There was no feathers or scales covering his wings, and he could clearly feel the biting cold, so much so that he could hardly fly.
The tree hole was very dark. When the flashlight was turned on, a snow-white face suddenly appeared in front of Wu Jian, scaring him so much that he quickly rushed towards Zhao Qing.
“What’s wrong? What’s wrong?”
Everyone gathered around and asked Wu Jian about his concerns.
Wu Jian pointed to the tree hole and said, "There's a face inside!"
"Impossible?"
Everyone looked at the tree hole in disbelief.
Wu Jian didn't know how to describe the face he saw.
"It's a snow-white human face."
"Did someone get here before us?"
Zhao Qing thought it was players from other civilizations who arrived here earlier than them.
Zhao Jian and Tang Keke stood on both sides of the tree hole, one of them lighting the inside while the other swung a hammer and hammered into the hole.
Zhao Jian saw clearly what was inside the tree hole and hurriedly stopped Tang Keke.
"Don't smash it."
Just as he was about to hit the snow-white face, Zhao Jian suddenly stood in front of him, forcing Tang Keke to stop hastily and hit the tree wall next to him.
A crack suddenly appeared in the tree wall.
Tang Keke asked in confusion, "Zhao Jian, what are you doing? Do you know that if I hit you with this hammer, you'll be gone?"
"This man seems to be dead."
Zhao Jianzhao looked at the corpse in front of him and saw that it was completely white, as if stained with frost. Even the eyelashes were covered with granular frost. The face was completely bloodless, and the eyes were drooping. It was obvious that the corpse was unusually calm before death.
"Why did this person die so strangely?" Wu Jian asked curiously.
Zhao Qing approached the body and examined it carefully.
"The facial expression is very normal, as if he died in his sleep. There is no sign of struggle, as if he was euthanized. There is a tail behind him, so he must be a person from an alien beast civilization."
"Come and take a look." Lu Yang suddenly said.
The people who were originally observing the characteristics of the corpse heard Lu Yang's voice and hurriedly approached him.
"What's wrong?"
Lu Yang gestured for everyone to look deep into the tree hole.
Tang Keke's eyes suddenly widened. "Zhao Qing, is that the liar who caused us to fall into the spider's nest?"
Zhao Qing took a look and said, "It seems to be true."
There were four people in front of them, their movements were different, but judging by the situation, they were all probably dead.
"Why did they all die here?" Wu Jian was puzzled.
"These people died in exactly the same way. They must have died in their sleep. Could it be that they also came here to avoid the snow and died inexplicably?"
Wu Jian seemed to have thought of something and suddenly said, "Could it be that, like Lao Shu said, they were affected by the energy?"
"So, we're already approaching the depths of Bug Island?"
"They should be close. As for the deep part of the Insect Island, it's probably still some distance away. The things here are just as Lao Shu said, close to mutating and becoming monsters. They might have encountered those monsters."
"Looks like we have to be careful tonight and take turns keeping watch."
Tang Keke said, "Zhao Qing, Lu Yang and I will stay up for half the night."
Zhao Jian said, "Then Ryan, Ankur and I will stay for the rest of the night and leave as soon as the sun rises."
Wu Jian looked at them and asked, "What about me?"
Zhao Jian said: "You are a cub, you can't stay up late, it will affect your physical development, so your main responsibility is to sleep."
Wu Jian: ...
Tang Keke looked at the corpses in the tree hole and said, "Let's move them out. They look scary."
"Alright."
Several people carried the body away.
Wu Jian found a dry place, took out his sleeping bag and quilt, and prepared to spend the night.
Fortunately, he brought a lot of quilts, so there was one quilt for each person and some left over.
Lu Yang built a fire next to him and cooked noodles while he had some free time.
Everyone ate the warm instant noodles and slept with their blankets.
Only Wu Jian could only eat eggshells, and he huddled under his quilt, feeling somewhat aggrieved. For a foodie, not being able to eat anything is the biggest fear.
Through the orange-red firelight, you can see that the snow outside is falling heavier and heavier, forming a thick layer on the ground.
Wu Jian rubbed his eyes and fell asleep sadly.
During this sleep, he had some bizarre dreams, and the next second, a pale ghost face suddenly appeared in front of him.
Wu Jian was abruptly awakened, sat up abruptly and wiped the cold sweat from his head.
The fire was still burning, but Tang Keke and the others who had been talking just now had fallen asleep.
Wu Jian shook Tang Keke who was sleeping next to him.
"cocoa?"
He called out tentatively, but Tang Keke didn't respond. When he tentatively turned Tang Keke over to face him, her face turned pale.
Wu Jian was so frightened that he quickly retreated backwards.
This is not Tang Keke!
The man suddenly opened his snow-white eyes.
"Are you looking for me?"
Wu Jian frowned: "You are not Keke, who are you?"
"Hey, who do you think I look like?"
When Wu Jian took out the small silver ball from the space and prepared to attack, the man rushed towards him at an extremely fast speed. His shoulder was grabbed by the man, and with a click, the bone in his shoulder was broken!
Wu Jian instantly broke out in a cold sweat from the pain. He took a closer look at the face. Wasn't it the person from the alien beast civilization he had just seen when he entered the tree hole? Was he still alive?
Wu Jian gritted his teeth, let go of the small silver ball in his hand, and as it fell, he kicked the man in the stomach with his back foot, taking the opportunity to break away from the man's restraints.
I touched my shoulder and found a bone sticking out from under the skin. It must have been broken directly.
How come this guy is so strong?
Wu Jian evacuated from the side, when suddenly a pair of cold hands grabbed his throat from behind.
Just as he was about to resist, many hands appeared on both sides, holding down his limbs.
Countless cold hands from the depths of darkness surrounded Wu Jian and dragged him into the abyss.
In a daze, he heard someone calling him.
"Little dragon?"
Wu Jian immediately got up reflexively, pressed the small silver ball against the throat of the person in front of him, and made a threatening growl.
"Little dragon cub, are you having a nightmare? Me, Zhao Qing?"
Wu Jian focused his eyes on the person whose throat he was pinching. Who else could it be but Zhao Qing?
Wu Jian let go of his hand, and the small silver ball fell to the ground and rolled around.
Several people gathered around him by the fire.
"What did you dream about? Why are you so scared?" Tang Keke asked puzzledly.
"I called him several times but he didn't wake up. He must have been haunted by what happened just now."
Wu Jian took a breath and said, "I dreamed that group of people turned into monsters and came back to life."
Everyone was stunned.
Tang Keke then laughed out loud.
"Little dragon, it was just a dream. Could it be that you were frightened by that face during the day and had a nightmare like this? That shouldn't be the case. The training grounds we've experienced before were even scarier than this, and we didn't have nightmares, did we?"
Wu Jian felt a little uneasy.
"Then I'll go check on those corpses again. Otherwise, the little dragon cub might not sleep well."
Zhao Jian said this and turned to leave.
Lu Yang handed Wu Jian a cup of hot water.
"Thanks."
After drinking some hot water, his heart gradually calmed down.
"What does the monster in the dream look like? Can you tell us?" Tang Keke asked.
Zhao Jian frowned and said, "Wu Jian was just frightened by that dream, and you're still asking?"
"It's okay, I can do it." Wu Jian responded carefully, "Snow-white face, many hands..."
Before he could finish, Zhao Jian suddenly ran in.
"Those people are gone!"
Several people stood up immediately.
"What's going on?"
Zhao Jian said, "I just went to look for the bodies of five people, but I didn't find any."
Tang Keke frowned and asked, "Could it have been dragged away by some large animal?"
"have no idea."
Wu Jian accidentally saw a figure behind Zhao Jian during the conversation. He quickly stood up and said to Zhao Jian, "Zhao Jian, don't move."
Because Wu Jian suddenly spoke, everyone's attention moved to Zhao Jian again. When they saw this, several people subconsciously took out their weapons.
"Zhao Jian, don't move."
Zhao Jian was confused and suddenly felt something behind him. He pulled out a knife from his sleeve and swung it backwards.
"Ho ho ho ho!"
The black shadow laughed ghostly twice, jumped into the snow, and ran away like a boneless thing.
"What the hell?"
"Why does that thing look so much like the person from the alien beast civilization just now? The only difference is how did its speed become so fast?"
"Impossible. How can a person slip away like a boneless snake?"
"No way, Zhao Qing, please don't say it so scary, okay?"
Zhao Qing: "I really didn't scare anyone. That thing slid away like a snake."
Tang Keke looked at Wu Jian and said, "Could it be true, as Little Dragon Boy said, that those people have really turned into monsters?"
Wu Jian nodded vigorously, "It's similar to what I dreamed about."
Tang Keke teased, "When did the little dragon cub develop the ability to predict the future?"
"Whether it is or not, that thing might come back again, so we should be more vigilant."
Wu Jian was not sleepy at all. He sat next to the fire and looked outside the tree hole from time to time.
I wonder if it was his illusion, but he felt that the snow outside was getting heavier.
Wu Jian sat there and felt sleepy. Just as he was about to fall asleep, he felt a cold liquid falling on his face. He woke up immediately and looked up as if possessed by a ghost. He saw several people lying on the tree hole and staring at them.
"They're up there!"
"Ho ho ho ho!"
"Get them down!"
After the things above the tree hole were taken down, one of them fell next to Wu Jian. He subconsciously aimed his claws at the man's face and scratched it wildly. Suddenly, he felt that he had grabbed something down.
When I looked down, I saw a human face, but the face of the person who had lost the protection of the human face was covered with wriggling colorful bugs!
The dense swarms of insects were wriggling, giving Wu Jian goosebumps all over the floor.
"careful!"
Tang Keke swung the hammer and directly knocked away the face of the person in front of her that was gathering insects.
"Little dragon, how are you?"
Wu Jian shook his head and threw the face in his hand away.
The bodies of several people who attacked them could be easily broken, and many rainbow-colored insects fell out of their bodies.
"Oh my god, so many bugs!"
After throwing the corpse out, everyone felt their scalps tingling as they looked at the wriggling insects that fell to the ground.
Tang Keke rubbed her arms. "It's so disgusting to look at. How did they get infested with these bugs?"
Zhao Qing studied them carefully for a while and said, "Could these insects be the rainbow-colored eggs outside?"
In order to verify Zhao Qing's words, Zhao Jian dug a little rainbow snow on the tip of the knife, aimed the light at the tip of the knife, and took a closer look. He could see plump grains with many small black dots inside.
"Could the rainbow snow outside be all insect eggs?" Wu Jian couldn't help but say.
"It should be."
"When I first met this group of people, they had no protection at all. Could it be that because of this, insect eggs parasitized their bodies, ate up their internal organs, and eventually their bodies were replaced by insects? Are they attacking us because of the insects in their bodies?"
"Thank goodness Zhao Jian is so careful, otherwise, we would have ended up like them."
Everyone did not sleep all night. Until the next morning, the fluttering snow finally stopped. A thick layer of insect eggs had accumulated on the ground, leaving deep footprints when stepped on.
The woods were almost covered with insect eggs. Occasionally, some corpses could be seen standing in the woods. Their symptoms were the same as those of those people. Their bodies were snow-white and should be full of insects.
Wu Jian and others walked around them and did not take the initiative to approach the corpse.
The further we went inside, the more corpses we saw.
"We didn't see any players on the periphery. They were supposed to be coming in front of us. So many people got infected. Didn't they find something to hide the eggs?"
No one answered Tang Keke's doubts because they didn't know how to explain what was happening here.
It’s okay if a few people were infected, but it’s a bit hard to understand why so many people were infected.
"Let's leave first. I always feel like there is something here staring at us." Zhao Jian frowned.
They walked around the corpses and headed deeper into the Insect Island.
Wu Jianfei was in the air, looking into the distance.
The distant horizon was shrouded in a layer of white fog, and he couldn't see what was happening in the distance. He could only see the piles of insect eggs and upright corpses in the rainbow-colored forest.
Suddenly, he felt something passing in front of him, but he couldn't see it. He could only feel a force approaching.
He slid down quickly into the forest. The force did not catch up with him, but just hovered in the air.
Rainbow-colored snowflakes began to fall from the sky again.
When everyone saw Wu Jian coming down, they asked casually.
"Little dragon, why aren't you flying? Hey, insect eggs are laying again, everyone, quickly open your umbrellas!"
After Wu Jian opened his umbrella, he looked up at the sky. There was nothing but flying rainbow-colored snow.
Zhao Qing carefully noticed that Wu Jian's expression was not right, so he stepped forward and asked.
"What's wrong?"
Wu Jian said: "I feel like there is a big creature around us, and I can't see the end of this forest. It's very strange."
After hearing Wu Jian's words, everyone exchanged glances.
"I feel the same way, little dragon cub. This proves that there is something around us, but we can't see it? Could it be invisible, or is it transparent, so we can feel it but not see it?"
"That makes sense. Now we need to get out. If it doesn't attack us, just pretend nothing happened."
Wu Jian did not fly in mid-air, but flew low in the forest to avoid close contact with insect eggs.
But the deeper they went, the heavier the snow became. It was now above everyone's calves. If they hadn't walked out of the forest yet, they would probably be fed to the insects.
Tang Keke grumbled, "I'm getting colder and colder, especially my feet, which are cold and painful."
“Me too,” Ankur continued.
Others felt the same way, but not as strongly as they did.
Wu Jian was fine. At most, his wings were a little cold, but everything else felt fine.
The crowd continued for a long time, but unexpectedly, the first person to fall was Zhao Jian.
As Zhao Jian fell, he spoke intermittently: "I can't, I can't move, stop, insect eggs..."
Zhao Qing examined the unconscious Zhao Jian and quickly lifted up his trouser legs, only to discover that his calves and lower were covered in snow-white skin. Everyone's faces immediately turned pale.
Tang Keke shuddered and said, "We can't go any further. If we continue, we will all die here." "Let's find a place to rest." Zhao Qing sighed.
No one was allowed to walk around, and only Wu Jian, who had wings, was responsible for finding a place to rest.
Wu Jian looked around and found a valley that was sheltered from the wind and not infested by insect eggs.
After finding a safe place, Wu Jian immediately turned back and asked everyone to follow him.
When they reached the valley, everyone was trembling.
Lu Yang quickly lit a fire, but the shivering people did not feel the heat. Instead, they felt colder as they got closer to the fire.
Ryan was the second to fall.
Zhao Qing rolled up his trouser legs, and the color of his calf heels was the same as Zhao Jian's calves.
"Look at your calves!"
Everyone lifted up the trouser legs, saw the snow-white color, and fell silent.
"It's over, we're all caught!"
"Where's the little dragon cub?"
Wu Jian ate a piece of eggshell and said, "I'm fine, don't worry about me."
Tang Keke touched her calf and could feel grains of it.
"No, how could we be infected even though we covered our package so well? Are these bugs really spirits?"
Others don't understand either.
Wu Jian glanced at the unconscious Zhao Jian, thought for a moment, then took off her shoes and saw dense red spots on the soles of her feet.
"Come and see."
Everyone gathered together and found that there were many holes in Zhao Jian's shoes, and suddenly they realized what had happened.
"So these bugs have diamonds? They can drill so hard?"
"What now?"
While the others were discussing what to do, Wu Jian poured healing agents into the mouths of Zhao Jian and Ryan, hoping to stop the insect eggs from spreading throughout the body.
Zhao Qing made a somewhat risky decision. "Pick them out first. Before they spread to the heart, we still have a chance."
"Are you sure?" Tang Keke asked.
Zhao Qing gritted his teeth and said, "Even if we're not sure, we have to get these bugs out. Otherwise, we'll all die here."
"But how do we draw it out?"
Wu Jian glanced at the wound on Zhao Jian's foot, and suddenly an idea flashed through his mind.
"Keke, didn't we catch a lot of animals like fawns? Let's use their meat and see if we can lure the bugs out?"
Tang Keke and Zhao Qing were stunned.
Zhao Qing said: "It seems like a solution, we can give it a try."
Wu Jian handed the processed piece of meat in the space to Zhao Qing.
Zhao Qing rinsed the knife, which was as thin as a cicada's wing, with disinfectant, took out the catgut for mending, and prepared to start luring out the worm.
Seeing this, Wu Jian took out a piece of dried meat from the space and asked the unconscious Zhao Jian to bite it.
Zhao Qing gently cut a thin incision on Zhao Jian's calf and placed the bloody meat underneath.
A minute passed, and white pus-like substance began to drip out of Zhao Jian's calf and fell onto the piece of meat, which was obviously shrinking.
"Thank God, it worked."
"Little dragon, this is possible. How did you come up with this idea?"
Wu Jian said, "Nothing. I figured since the bugs took the trouble to get in through the soles of my shoes, they must be very hungry for blood."
Tang Keke slapped her head in regret, "Why didn't I think of this?"
Zhao Qing helped everyone perform minor surgery before finally helping himself deal with the bugs.
As Tang Keke bandaged her wound, she couldn't help but sigh, "I'd rather fight a monster than die in such an unclear way. It's horrible! These bugs are even more monstrous than monsters. They burrow into my blood vessels, and I don't feel any pain at all."
Zhao Qing dealt with the bug on his calf and bandaged the wound with one hand. He said, "After these bugs gnaw on flesh and blood, they should release a liquid similar to an anesthetic. Even if they burrow into it, we won't feel any pain."
When Wu Jian was about to give the healing agent to Zhao Qing, Tang Keke stopped him and said, "Little Dragon, the healing agent is too expensive. We don't need it for this wound. Last time, they extracted something similar to the healing agent from the seaweed you gave the lab. This is the initial test sample. We can use this."
Wu Jian silently put the healing potion back.
Everyone took the trial version of the healing potion given by Tang Keke and checked whether there were any other parts of their bodies infested by insects.
Zhao Qing glanced at the little cub who was silently taking care of Zhao Jian and Lian An, and waved to him, "Wu Jian, let me check your body."
Wu Jian walked towards Zhao Qing and let him go only after checking his whole body and finding nothing wrong with him.
Everyone looked at the heavy snow outside, and no one spoke.
A long time passed.
Tang Keke wrapped herself in the clothes that the little dragon had given her and sighed, "This forest is incredible. It's obvious they're going to trap us to death here."
Zhao Qing squatted in front of the pot, simmering something, occasionally dropping some food. Listening to Tang Keke's sigh, he continued, "If Zhao Jian hadn't reminded us in advance, we would have become the ovaries of insect eggs just like those people outside."
"That's right." Tang Keke glanced at Wu Jian, who was curled up in a ball and already asleep, lowered her voice, and asked Zhao Qing, "Is the little dragon cub really okay?"
Zhao Qing nodded: "It's okay."
Tang Keke was a little jealous: "It's great to have wings, at least I won't get attacked."
Zhao Qing scooped a spoonful of black liquid into the bowl and handed it to Tang Keke, "Drink it."
"What?"
"It's for replenishing blood and qi. We've lost too much blood, so we have to replenish it. Too much blood loss can be fatal."
When Tang Keke heard this, she quickly took the bowl and poured it into her mouth.
However, she didn't see the slight smile on Zhao Qing's lips, as he was obviously teasing her.
When Wu Jian was sleeping, he could always smell the smell of medicine circulating at the tip of his nose, but when he smelled carefully, there was no smell. He buried himself in the quilt and slept even deeper.
The fire was crackling, and it was unusually quiet in the valley.
Tang Keke yawned and rubbed her eyes from time to time. Zhao Qing next to her was packing some miscellaneous things into a bag.
"Zhao Qing, what's in your pocket?"
Zhao Qing said: "It's used to repel insects."
Tang Keke complained, "Then why didn't you take it out and use it earlier?"
Zhao Qing rolled his eyes: "I was so busy on the road that I forgot."
Tang Keke: "Can we get out with your anthelmintic?"
Zhao Qing shook his head and said, "No."
"Then why do you do it?"
"I can't do that now. I don't know what I might encounter in the future, so I'd better be prepared."
While the two were talking, Wu Jian beside them woke up at some point.
Tang Keke turned around and was startled when she saw the little dragon cub's big, blurry eyes.
"Little dragon, when did you wake up?"
Wu Jian ignored them and looked outside at the snow. His round eyes turned into vertical pupils.
Realizing something was wrong, the two looked outside and saw someone approaching, so they stood up immediately.
"I'll go wake them up!"
Zhao Qing went to wake up the sleeping people, and even the unconscious Zhao Jian woke up at this time.
Zhao Jian asked, "What's wrong?"
Zhao Qing said: "Someone is coming."
"Aren't there just a few of us in the forest? Where did they come from?" Ankur said with a yawn.
Lu Yang, who had been silent the entire time, said, "And there are those corpses."
Ankur was immediately stuck when he yawned.
"That seems to be the case. Could it be that those corpses were parasitized by insects and came back to life?"
Not knowing what was going on, everyone looked outside.
Several blurry figures were slowly approaching.
When the others were ready to attack, the figures suddenly made human voices.
"Everyone, calm down. We are human beings, not monsters."
Even though he said that, Tang Keke and the others still watched the people coming over without letting down their guard.
Under the light of the fire, everyone could see clearly the appearance of the person who came.
They looked very strange, with three blue stripes painted on their faces flashing blue light, and all of them were in a semi-mecha state behind them.
The young man walking in front said, "Everyone, we are from the mecha civilization. My teammate has been infected with insect eggs here. Can you move us to a place to rest? Thank you very much."
Mecha civilization?
Tang Keke and the others looked at each other, and then turned their gaze to the few people outside in the heavy snow.
Tang Keke said, "The col is very big, you can go to the front."
The young man looked in the direction Tang Keke pointed, thanked her quickly, and left with his teammates.
Tang Keke asked everyone, "Do you think what they said is true?"
Zhao Jian coughed and said in a hoarse voice: "No matter whether they are true or not, we are not in conflict with others, so there should be no problem."
Tang Keke nodded, but she noticed out of the corner of her eye that Wu Jian was still staring at the mecha civilization, so she walked forward and touched him gently.
"Little dragon, what are you thinking about?"
Wu Jian shook his head, rubbed his stomach and said, "I'm a little hungry."
He sat in his sleeping bag and ate an eggshell.
Lu Yang said at this time: "There is still some red beetle meat left. I will cook some for you."
Wu Jian, who had been gnawing on eggshells with despair, suddenly brightened up. "There's also crayfish meat?"
Lu Yang said, "I didn't finish it before, so I put it all away. I'll cook it for you."
Wu Jian nodded vigorously: "Thank you!"
Lu Yang smiled, turned around, turned up the heat, and put the pot on it to help Wu Jian cook food.
"Oh my god, I didn't expect Lu Yang, who has such an icy face, to look so good when he smiles." Tang Keke said from the side.
"She's not bad looking anyway, don't give her random names," Zhao Qing corrected.
Zhao Jian smiled and said, "He will definitely be a good father in the future."
When everyone was sighing about Lu Yang, they temporarily put the people of the mecha civilization behind them.
Wu Jian looked into the pot while looking at the people from the mecha civilization.
Tang Keke couldn't help but ask, "Little Dragon, you seem a little absent-minded, always looking at the mecha civilization. Do you think something's wrong with them?"
Wu Jian retracted his gaze and whispered, "I'm not really sure either. I always feel like they're a little strange, but I can't put my finger on it."
He suddenly asked, "We've been through so many competitions, but we've never encountered anyone from the mecha civilization."
When everyone recalled carefully, it seemed to be true.
"This time the mecha civilization suddenly appeared, so we should be careful."
Just as everyone here finished speaking, the mecha civilization that had just spoken to them suddenly walked over.
"Thank you for providing me with shelter. I have some medicine that can cure this kind of bugs. I'll give you some."
The man put the potion on the ground and did not come over.
Wu Jian suddenly asked, "How do you know how to cure these bugs?"
The man was a little surprised to hear Wu Jian talking to him, and quickly replied: "We have a light computer. According to the instructions of the light computer, we can prepare a potion to deal with the insects."
Wu Jian tilted his head innocently: "Are all the optical computers developed by your mecha civilization like this?"
"The optical computer we use is an independent one and is not managed by the intelligent computer."
Tang Keke muttered quietly, "Isn't this just cheating?"
The man continued to explain, "No, we're not participating in any reward-related missions. We're just an exploratory team. We came here to study the consequences of the energy explosion. During our investigation, we accidentally entered this place and found that we couldn't get out."
"What do you mean you can't get out?"
"This place is very strange. In fact, we've been traveling here for nearly half a month and still haven't found an exit. The players who traveled with us have been so exhausted that they've almost had mental breakdowns and ultimately chose to end their lives."
Wu Jian asked, "Are you saying that those corpses outside committed suicide?"
"right."
Wu Jian didn't ask any more questions.
The man continued, "My name is Yidan. What's your name?"
"My name is..." Wu Jian paused for two seconds and did not speak.
Yidan seemed to see Wu Jian's embarrassment and said sympathetically, "It's okay if you don't tell me your name. You can call me if you need anything."
Yidan left.
Tang Keke touched his chin and said, "This Yidan is a bit too enthusiastic. Do you want what he offers?"
Zhao Jian said, "I suggest not to. It doesn't make sense to give medicine to a stranger right away."
"Do you think it's credible that all the players he said committed suicide?" Wu Jian asked everyone.
Zhao Jian analyzed, "If it's true, as he said, that there's no way out of this forest, those people might collapse and commit suicide. Staying in a dangerous place for a long time, where your life is in danger at any moment, can really distort your mind, and even lead to suicide."
"I don't know whether they want to commit suicide or not, I just want to know how this group of mecha civilizations can maintain such a good mentality. Other players can't get out and collapse and commit suicide, but they can still stay here and enthusiastically deliver medicine to us." Tang Keke said.
Wu Jian thought of some information he had read online and said, "Someone on the internet said that the people of the mecha civilization are almost half-robotic, especially since their hearts are all mechanical replacements. Perhaps they are fundamentally different from the human body."
"I've also seen this post, but no one from the mecha civilization has come out to confirm it, so I don't know whether it's true or not." Tang Keke frowned.
The few of them discussed for a long time but still could not come to a conclusion.
At this time, Lu Yang had prepared the meal for Wu Jian.
Wu Jian ran over happily carrying his little basin.
Tang Keke looked at Zhao Qing and muttered to herself, "Little Dragon Cub, is all his energy going into eating? He was listless just now, but as soon as he heard about eating, he immediately perked up."
Zhao Qing smiled and said nothing.
For Wu Jian, nothing is more important than eating rice, especially when he has to live on eggshells every day in the later period. Of course, he will eat as much as he can, because later on, he will have nothing left.
After finishing his meal, Wu Jian rubbed his stomach and continued to sleep in his sleeping bag.
Everyone was very tired, having experienced such a shocking incident last night. No matter how sleepy they were, they had to finish their shifts before going to bed.
Fortunately, there were no surprise attacks tonight.
early morning.
Almost everyone was awake, except Wu Jian who was still sleeping.
The rainbow-colored snow did not stop. If Tang Keke and Zhao Qing had not used tools to shovel away all the accumulated insect eggs, they might have been completely covered by the eggs.
The trees in the forest could not withstand the pressure of the rainbow insect eggs. They broke with a squeak and fell to the ground with a loud noise.
Wu Jian opened his eyes, climbed up, and his tail swayed behind him.
Wu Jian looked around and found that the others were no longer there.
He picked up the sleeping bag on the ground and walked outside.
I found that Tang Keke and the others were already outside talking with Yidan and others who came last night.
