Chapter 56
Zhong Hui didn't dare to act rashly, but after discovering that the human-faced snake seemed to have its head really held down, she became bolder.
No matter what monster is stuck now, as long as it is not resolved, it will be a hidden danger.
She gritted her teeth, swung the stone in her hand and threw it at the snake.
She was not sure where the snake's weak spot was, so she focused on the horrible human face and smashed it as if it were a human trafficker. After just a few hits, the head of the human-faced snake was completely smashed to pieces.
Zhong Hui took a deep breath, looked at her results, and realized that if people were pushed hard enough, they would do anything drastic.
She was afraid that the smell of blood and the sound would attract other monsters in the jungle, so she didn't dare to stay any longer and continued to walk inside with Xia Xue.
Xia Xue was also awakened by her operation. The will to survive overcame the discomfort caused by the fever. She looked better and took a stone in her hand.
"...Huihui, look over there."
Zhong Hui was suddenly pulled down by Xia Xue's sleeve. She followed Xia Xue's gaze and found that the bushes on the left were moving gently, and in a clear direction - completely opposite to the wind direction.
Zhong Hui thought about it, gritted her teeth and said, "Let's follow this."
After what happened just now, she began to believe that there was something protecting them.
If she could stop the monster directly, how could she not believe it?
In that case, why not just go in this direction, maybe that's the clue.
Sure enough, throughout the rest of the journey, they followed the instructions and tried not to make any noise, and they didn't encounter any monsters at all.
Even when you are extremely hungry, a few desserts will inexplicably appear in front of you.
Zhong Hui: “……?”
Zhong Hui was stunned.
...Is this really not an illusion?
Or do demons actually like desserts, too?
She carefully took a piece and looked left and right but didn't find anything strange. There were no eyeballs or internal organs, so she took a tentative bite.
Almost at the same time, a warm current rose in her body, and her extremely tired body recovered.
Zhong Hui looked at the dessert in her hand in shock and quickly shook Xia Xue: "Try it quickly."
After Xia Xue finished eating, she slowly blinked and looked at Zhong Hui: "I'm not dizzy anymore."
"And I think I can run 800 now."
The two looked at each other and saw hope in each other's eyes.
Zhong Hui clasped her hands together and said, "I don't know which god you are, but I am very grateful for your help. If you want my soul, you can take it after I die. I am willing to work for you for ten lifetimes. Thank you very much."
After thanking them, they had to continue on their journey. Just when Zhong Hui was wondering where they were going in the end, a machete appeared in front of her.
This machete is different from the previous dessert, as there is a parchment roll underneath. Zhong Hui unfolded the parchment. She could not understand the words on it, but the meaning could magically enter her mind directly.
[■■■Weapons that have been used before...can be used for self-defense]
Holding the machete in her hand, Zhong Hui clearly felt that her strength seemed to have increased a bit.
But giving her a knife at this time is like suddenly being able to let the protagonist run in a horror game, or a cabinet appearing in the scene.
Sure enough, almost at the same time, a familiar man's voice came from the front.
It was one of the four men. He had lost an entire arm, with bite marks on the broken arm. He was stumbling and running away with a terrified expression.
“Help…Help!! Help—”
Before he could finish his words, the wolf behind him pounced on him and bit him on the neck. He could only make "ho ho" sounds and died in a few seconds.
Zhong Hui’s face turned pale instantly.
She subconsciously took a step back, but when the wolf's eyes turned to her, she suddenly realized something -
She must not turn around or show any weakness, otherwise, she would definitely die, and Xia Xue would not be able to escape either.
She let out a shuddering breath and tightened her grip on the knife.

Su Xingyuan was looking at the screen in the game.
At this time, the four men had been wiped out. Su Xingyuan led them to kill many monsters. After the coordination level was increased, he was able to intervene more in the game this time, which also facilitated his actions.
Even when their weapons were exhausted, he provided them with farm tools as a favor and took the opportunity to collect some rent.
How could a person who could get a gun and chase two scarred girls be a good person? He is ridding the pixel world of harm, no need to thank him.
And now, according to his experience, he only needs to kill the wolf in front of him, and the portal to the outside world can be opened.
Su Xing originally wanted to lend them [Ding Feng Bo], but he found that equipment like [Ding Feng Bo] and [Dragon Tendon Headband] had to have attributes that reached the minimum standard in order to be used, so the system did not recommend renting them.
He took out the machete he used when he was a novice. After all, it increased his strength by one, which should be a considerable bonus for an ordinary person with a maximum attribute value of 10.
Fortunately, the wolf was injured and its fighting power was not at its peak, and the pixel man was brave and dared to take action. He pressed the wolf from time to time and finally got it chopped to death by the pixel man.
Looking at the pixelated man with red body, Su Xingyuan felt as if he had come to the set of a horror game.
The portal leading to the outside world slowly appeared, but the two pixel men did not rush to leave. After staying there for a few seconds, they turned around and bowed.
Su Xingyuan blinked.
Then he poked both of them lightly on the head.
The pixel man immediately hugged his head, his expression was stunned for a moment, and then he showed a relaxed smile from the heart, and left the dungeon together.
Here in Suxingyuan, the mini-game has ended.
However, for Zhong Hui, the story is far from over.
She and Xia Xue were taken to the mountainous area, where even the locals were sometimes hard to identify, let alone people like them who were abducted.
Although the four men wanted to sell them to "big customers" rather than some evil villages, and no villagers would stop them from leaving, it was really a question whether the two of them could get out of the mountains.
but……
Zhong Hui recalled the touch on her head before she left, and her heart felt a little relieved. She believed that there was a kind person in this world who would protect them.
With this belief, the moment she saw the scenery outside, she and Xia Xue were both stunned.
Isn't this... a temporary cabin?
When did they build such simple houses, and so many cars and equipment...
And, soldiers?
A man who looked like a superior came over and said, "Ms. Zhong Hui, Ms. Xia Xue, I am the director of the Special Incident Investigation Bureau of China. My last name is Zhou. You don't have to be afraid. You are safe now."
At the same time, a kind-looking female soldier covered them with a blanket and handed them two cups of hot water.
Zhong Hui and Xia Xue looked at each other and slowly relaxed: "...Thank you."
Being surrounded by so many soldiers didn't seem real. Having just escaped from danger, they felt a sudden increase in sense of security, and the strength they had held on to was instantly lost.
"But the special incident investigation..." Zhong Hui realized something and looked back.
I saw the portal slowly closing, and the people around seemed to have experienced this before. There was no surprise on their faces, but they were busy and orderly, as if they were recording something.
So, the appearance of this door not only killed those human traffickers, but also indirectly helped them get rescued?
"The closing of the portal requires certain conditions to be met." A voice brought her back to her senses: "Miss Zhong and Miss Xia, please move aside, take a short rest, and then take notes. Tell us everything that happened inside the portal in detail."
Zhong Hui and Xia Xue nodded.
It took a lot of time to take the statement because various details had to be checked, but after the statement was completed, they were taken to a designated room to rest.
During these few days, the two people, who had been under great mental and physical pressure, immediately fell into a deep sleep.
On the other side, there were still people looking through the transcripts and materials over and over again.
"Director Zhou."
There were two knocks on the door. Director Zhou looked back and said, "You came at the right time. Fang Rui, take a look. Is the situation you encountered at that time very similar to theirs?"
He made way so that the person coming over could see the transcript on the table more clearly.
Fang Rui looked through it carefully, raised his head, and said, "It is very similar. I also saw the dessert they mentioned, but I didn't eat it."
"Yes," Director Zhou nodded, "You can take the things in the door out, but you didn't eat the dessert, but you couldn't take it out either. And the dessert I gave you also helped you fight the monsters..."
He turned another page of notes: "I am afraid that He can appear in the door, but He is also opposed to the door."
"If it weren't for Him this time, these two girls would be in great danger."
Including the time when Fang Rui and his team entered the cave, they almost couldn't come back.
Director Zhou thought of his compatriots who were buried in the gate, was silent for a moment, and made a decision: "Notify all team members that if they encounter Him, they should act according to His instructions while thinking. Try to communicate with Him, but be careful not to anger Him."
Before He appeared, explorations of the gate almost always ended in failure. They were simply unable to take samples out of the gate for research, let alone create targeted weapons.
Now, various studies have been successfully carried out.
They will definitely seize this opportunity He has created for mankind.
