Chapter 78
After hearing the news about the children, Xingnuo and Lu Qi set out for the amusement park.
Xingnuo had used up all his star coins on gathering information. He had no money left, so he could only hide secretly on a bus to City C with Lu Qi.
There were several monsters on this bus. The driver in the front was a shriveled skeleton with nothing in his eye sockets.
Xingnuo and Lu Qi hid under the last row of seats. When they saw the driver's appearance in the rearview mirror, they were so scared that they quickly covered their mouths.
Lu Qi was holding some bread and water at the side. He struggled to free up one hand and patted Xingnuo's back to comfort him.
"It's okay, the driver has already died."
Xingnuo:? ? ?
What does it mean to have died?
But Xingnuo knew that he, like the other children and Xiaoya, had arrived in another magical world.
It’s just that Xiaoya’s world is full of kindness, flowers and sunshine, while the world Xingnuo arrives in is full of monsters. If you are not careful, you will be pulled into a horror dungeon.
Just like now.
The bus they were on began to announce:
[This train is a C-level copy - the disappeared passengers. Monsters on the train please be ready to welcome the first group of humans. 】
The monsters in the car made a hoarse sound, red light flashed in their eyes, and they were restless.
A few minutes later, the bus arrived at the first stop and a group of human players in blue clothes got on the bus.
Xingnuo and Lu Qi hid under the seat, secretly grasped the edge of the seat and peeked out.
The backrest of the front seat blocked most of the view, and Xingnuo could only see several pairs of shoes of different sizes.
The monsters in the car were extremely quiet at this time, and only the whispers of human players could be heard.
"Which position do we choose?"
"You definitely can't sit in the back. The bus only has one door at the front. If you need to escape later, you won't be able to do so."
"Did you see the driver in front? He's so scary!"
"But there are monsters in the middle!"
The players were extremely confused and nervously chose a position slightly forward.
Compared with a driver monster and a bunch of monsters, at least the former can choose to fight in a group.
After the players were seated, the bus started moving and began to shake gently.
Xingnuo was thin and had plenty of space even when he squeezed under the seat. He lay on the ground with his little hands together, and tilted his head up like a puppy, secretly looking at the person in front of him.
Unfortunately, Xingnuo couldn't understand most of what these people said. After running all day, Xingnuo had drooped eyelids and couldn't help yawning.
Lu Qi who was standing next to him took out a piece of his own clothing, softened it and placed it under Xingnuo's little head.
"Xingnuo, go to sleep. I'll keep an eye on you and wake you up when we get to City C."
This bus departs in the evening, and at this time of the day, it is already time for Xingnuo to go to bed.
He propped up his little head, his eyes a little confused, and muttered softly:
"I'm not sleepy. Wait a little longer."
I don't know what he was waiting for, but after a few minutes, Xingnuo lay down under the seat and fell asleep on a small pillow made of clothes.
Seeing Xingnuo fall asleep, Lu Qi crawled out from under the seat. Without any guilt about sneaking on the bus without a fare, he walked to the front with a swagger.
The human players in blue clothes and the monsters sitting in the middle looked at this little guy who suddenly appeared, and all of them had question marks on their heads.
Lu Qi walked into the pile of monsters, his face stern and his tone stiff.
"Do you have a small quilt?"
monster:? ? ?
Lu Qi didn't say anything to this obviously low-IQ monster, and asked another monster:
"Do you have a small quilt?"
It’s still a bit cold at night. What if Xingnuo catches a cold if he doesn’t cover himself with a blanket?
After asking among the monsters, Lu Qi didn't find any one who brought a quilt with him.
He walked to the front again, stood next to the player in blue clothes, looked up and asked:
"Do you have a quilt?"
The player looked at the black-haired boy, who was about seven or eight years old. His eyes were empty and had a cold, mechanical feeling.
It doesn't look like a human being, but more like a programmed machine.
The human players looked at each other, confused as to what was going on.
"What do you mean? Did you bring blankets?"
"Give it or not? Will it trigger some rules if I don't give it?"
The players were extremely conflicted, but in the end they did not dare to offend the little boy and took out a small quilt for him.
Lu Qi, who "borrowed" the quilt, was obviously very happy. He had a stern face and his tone was still cold.
"Thanks."
After spending a long time with Xingnuo, Lu Qi also picked up some politeness that was not his own.
Carrying the small quilt back, Lu Qi crawled back under the seat under the gazes of the people and monsters in the car.
He reached out and pulled in the small quilt that had fallen outside.
Lu Qi wrapped the sleeping Xing Nuo like a silkworm, and watched his brows, which were shrunken due to the cold, gradually relax, and his little face turned a little red because of the warmth.
Lu Qi couldn't help but feel even happier. He lay on the ground, watching Xingnuo sleep.
The human players and monsters turned their heads to look at Lu Qi who was lying under the outer seat. After being glared at by the little thing, they turned their heads back in confusion.
"This little monster has a companion?"
"There are quite a lot of monsters on this bus. Is this really a C-rank instance? It doesn't seem like it."
The players were discussing the contents of the dungeon in low voices, and from time to time they would turn around and look at the little boy who was watching over his companions as they slept.
The bus continued to sway forward.
Xingnuo slept more comfortably. He rubbed his face against the soft quilt in a daze and muttered softly:
"The cub will have egg custard tomorrow."
In the dream, his father fed egg custard to his mouth, but Xingnuo was having a bad temper and was totally unwilling to eat it.
Lu Qi held up her little face and couldn't help but humming when she heard him talk about egg custard.
Custard seems to be a kind of food.
I haven’t tried it, but since Xingnuo said it, it must be delicious.
Players are also facing the first difficulty of the copy at this time.
There are monsters hidden among them!
When the system notified them to find the monsters hiding in the crowd, the players began to be suspicious and wary of each other.
The three people who formed a small alliance as soon as they got on the bus were sweating profusely. They leaned back in their chairs and stared at their companions with murderous eyes.
The system notifications were as urgent as death warrants:
[Countdown three minutes!] Players are invited to point out the hidden monsters! 】
They knew that if they made a mistake in identification and the monster continued to hide, the consequences would be disastrous.
Players also have to be on guard against the driver in front and the monsters behind. If they are backstabbed by teammates at a critical moment, it would be fatal.
Just as everyone was arguing fiercely, Lu Qi suddenly appeared out of nowhere.
He tilted his head, his dark pupils did not reflect a single light, and his black hair draped between his eyebrows, making him look like a little ghost.
"Hello, do you have any custard?"
Player: “…”
You just borrowed my quilt and now you’re here to borrow my food, right?
Is this kid trying to take advantage of them? !
One of the players waved his hand impatiently:
"No, didn't I just give you a quilt? Why are you here again?"
Lu Qi was not angry and continued to look at him with empty eyes.
“The custard is different.”
The egg custard is edible, it must be very fragrant and sweet, Xingnuo likes it.
When Xingnuo wakes up tomorrow morning and sees Danjian, he will definitely praise Lu Qi as his best friend!
When Lu Qi thought of this, he couldn't help but feel happy.
The player snorted coldly and said:
"What's the difference?"
Lu Qi: "You've never eaten egg custard?"
There are actually humans who ask such questions?
The quilt is for covering and the egg custard is for eating, Lu Qi can tell the difference clearly.
The player didn't seem to notice anything was wrong and continued impatiently:
"What's wrong with not having eaten?"
At this time, the other human players had already turned their heads, their eyes falling on this player intentionally or unintentionally.
A female player was very perceptive, raised her lips, and responded:
"It's okay. Egg custard is not a common food. We humans don't usually eat it."
When the original player heard someone agree with him, he immediately felt relieved.
"That's right. You're asking for unusual food. Do you think we have everything?"
A male player couldn't hold back his smile and pursed his lips to suppress the smile.
Lu Qi didn't get the egg custard, so he let out a soft "oh" and showed his pointed little fangs.
"Then can I just eat you?"
Lu Qi's eyes were cold, his hair was black, his eyes were dark, his skin was a sickly pale color, and he seemed to have no human warmth at all.
When the player who had already revealed his flaws met Lu Qi's pupils, his face froze and he felt an inexplicable chill down his spine.
"Of course not."
He said this with great lack of confidence, and when he turned around, he found that the human players had already moved away from him.
"He's a monster!"
Before the system's final reminder sounded, an impatient male player pointed him out first.
The player who revealed the flaw was still wondering what he had done wrong, which aroused the suspicion of others.
But the next second, when the system prompted that the answer was correct, Lu Qijing's blue eyes lit up.
This monster disguised as a human was like water. It melted in front of Lu Qi and finally turned into water vapor and dissipated in the air.
A little bit of light fell on Lu Qi, replenishing him with a tiny bit of energy.
Lu Qi's eyes flashed with crystal blue light, and he turned his head again to look at several humans who almost screamed and covered their mouths tightly.
"Do you have egg custard?" Lu Qi asked again.
The human player didn't dare to say no now. Seeing Lu Qi kept asking for egg custard, he could only answer tremblingly:
"Things like egg custard are not convenient to carry, so we usually don't carry them with us."
Unlike things like quilts, sometimes they can play a big role when you encounter a wilderness dungeon.
"What about you? You don't have this kind of food with you, right?"
The players were also unsure and frantically searched for what was in their space props.
Finally, a player turned over an egg in the corner of his space.
"I got this from the last dungeon. I don't cook, so I haven't eaten it yet. How about I make a bowl now?"
Players, you look at me and I look at you.
As Lu Qi kept looking over, a female player raised her hand:
"I have a self-heating pot here."
A simple small pot was quickly set up on the bus.
The player in charge of making the egg custard looked at the rolling steam in front of him and couldn't help feeling a little dazed for a moment.
Making egg custard on the escape bus was also the first time in his life.
Lu Qi squatted beside him, staring at the pot that could heat itself without electricity, and turned around to ask:
"Are you ready? Can I eat now?"
