Chapter 414 The epidemic is rampant (12)
Brother Li shook his head like a rattle, as if he was going to break his neck. He said with horror:
"I'm sorry, brothers and sisters, I really know I was wrong! I shouldn't have had any bad thoughts about your food. This is all my fault! Please have mercy on me and let me go. I really don't mean to kill you all!"
However, facing Brother Li's earnest plea for mercy, Cangwu remained expressionless. He stared at Brother Li with his cold eyes and asked indifferently:
"Tell me, when did you start targeting us?"
Brother Li was frightened by Cangwu's gaze and trembled all over. His voice became stammering:
"Right...right when you entered the Dark Forest, my little brother spotted you and reported to me that a fat sheep had landed right on our doorstep. I thought, this is a godsend! So I rushed over with my men. We've never been to the tribe before! I swear, we've been here since day one and have absolutely never been anywhere else!"
At this moment, Lu Chunlai also walked over, with a puzzled look on his face, and asked:
"Where are the other players here? Why can't I see any of them? Could it be that you've recruited them all?"
Brother Li immediately shook his head. "No, how could I be that powerful? Those people were attacked by a creature from the Dark Forest and turned into monsters! We didn't dare go deep into the Dark Forest, so we just wandered around outside, snatching supplies from the players who came into the Dark Forest! We really know we were wrong, please forgive us this time!"
Xia Yueke also came over, "Are other people attacked by the creature? Have you seen what the creature looks like?"
The younger brothers were also knocked to the ground, unable to stand up for a long time. Upon hearing this, they immediately trembled like sieves. "It's very scary, you'd better not be curious. Those who have seen the creatures have been bitten. After being bitten, we don't die, but live like the walking dead. Then we develop a love for eating raw meat! We bite anyone we see! Just like zombies!"
"Then how did you know?"
Lu Chunlai's brows were still tightly furrowed, as if he was wondering whether what these people said was true or false.
"Nonsense! Of course it's because we ran away. You players living in the tribe don't know that on the first day, half of the players were bitten by that thing. Then they started biting each other and even ate each other's flesh! The normal players hid here and there. Then we found that the bitten players could only move in the depths of the Dark Forest and couldn't get close to the tribe. It was as if they were controlled by something."
The other brothers also agreed, not daring to think about it any further.
Xia Yueke found it quite mysterious. If they bit everyone they saw, how was they any different from zombies? Could it be that this epidemic wasn't the virus from the orc tribe, but a zombie virus?
If that were the case, wouldn't it be the end? Xia Yueke felt a cold sweat breaking out on his body.
Xia Yueke said to Cangwu: "Let them go, we still have important things to do!"
Cangwu nodded and looked down at those people, "I will let you go this time, but if you dare to mess with us again next time, don't blame me for being ruthless."
"Okay, okay." Brother Li immediately stood up with his pees streaming down his face, and left quickly with his men.
After everyone left, Cangwu looked at Xia Yueke in confusion, "What's wrong? Did you have something important to say?"
Xia Yueke nodded and said, "I want to go to the Barren Land after we put these foods away."
Lu Chunlai exclaimed, "The Barren Land? Why go there? Doesn't the sign over there say there are magical beasts? I heard from those soldiers last time that the one we encountered was only the lowest level magical beast, and the higher levels will only get more powerful!"
Xia Yueke's eyes were heavy. "Have you forgotten where those orcs who died before went? They said they would burn them to death in the barren land, but why didn't they come back?"
Lu Chunlai's eyes narrowed, and he remembered an important thing. That's right, since many corpses were transported there that day, many corpses were transported there in the next two or three days, but those orcs never came back. The tribe was originally short of manpower, and the chief seemed to have sent two or three people to find them, and those two or three orcs also disappeared.
The tribe was already busy, and after waiting for a few days without anyone coming, the tribe forgot about the matter.
Lu Chunlai felt that the tribe had been too quiet in the past few days and there was no one here to maintain order, so he realized something was wrong.
If what those people just said was true, then perhaps those orcs might have encountered the same thing. Unfortunately, those orcs should be gone, otherwise no one would have failed to notify the tribe!
Xia Yueke and Lu Chunlai felt creepy just thinking about it. They just wanted to hide the food quickly and then go to the barren land to find out what was going on.
Several people sped up their movements and soon arrived at the cave. The cave was indeed hidden, on top of a steep mountain, but fortunately there was Cangwu, who brought food to the place in two or three steps and hid it.
Outside the cave, Lu Chunlai sighed, "Xia Yueke, who on earth is your teammate? How come he's so amazing? When I first climbed into the cave, it took me over ten minutes, and he flew up in an instant, like he had wings!"
Xia Yue was speechless. What could she do? Because she didn't know what kind of person Cangwu was. She just felt lucky to have met him in this game. Otherwise, she would have been the one robbed on the first day.
After doing all this, the three of them walked back and came to the outskirts of the barren land.
Cang Wu stopped Xia Yueke and said, "Leave this matter to me. I'll go and take a look. You two stay here. If those monsters are really powerful as those people say, you two will only be a burden if you are here."
Xia Yue didn't want to agree and was a little worried. "Are you okay on your own? We were so stupid that we forgot to ask those people about the characteristics of those monsters. Otherwise, we could have avoided them!"
Cangwu looked at Xia Yueke's annoyed expression, and the corners of his mouth curled up slightly. "It's okay, don't worry, I'm very fast, nothing will happen. We just wait here so that it won't affect me, otherwise it will be troublesome to escape."
Lu Chunlai had no objection. Although she was very curious about what was going on inside, if she went, Xia Yue would definitely follow her. If there were dangers inside and she failed to protect her, Cangwu would get angry and kill her. So it was better to be safe this way.
Although Xia Yueke wanted to say that she was not a burden, she was too embarrassed to even open her mouth to refute when she thought of how weak she looked.
"Okay, go ahead and focus on checking out those burned orcs and the orc warriors who haven't returned. What's going on? If you can't find them, forget it. Come out within half an hour, okay?"
Cangwu nodded, "Okay."
