Chapter 43 The Hunter
Shen Nanzhi's state was still stuck in the previous dungeon. She didn't react much to this cruel death rate. Instead, she was worried about the 83 points given by the system.
No matter what she does since she was young, she has always strived to achieve the best. Two 80-point scores were a big stimulus to her, and a score of 90% is what she considers to be a passing grade.
So, that means she's already failed twice.
The three people on the ground have stood up and are observing the surroundings with atmosphere was eerily quiet.
Lin Chuan didn't care about the occasion, and Shen Nanzhi didn't care about the occasion. They were both observing and thinking on their own.
"Hello, classmate. Do you know where this is? Why are we here?"
Shen Nanzhi raised her long eyelashes and watched silently as the boy wearing a dark green vest asked Lin Chuan. She had to lament that Lin Chuan's outfit looked harmless.
"...I don't know, it sounds like I'm in some terrible escape game." Lin Chuan's face was extremely pale, and his voice was trembling.
The boy sighed heavily and moved his eyes to Shen Nanzhi, and she shook her head.
The boy had a bitter look on his face and looked like he was about to cry. "My name is Lin Que, and the other two girls are my classmates. The one with high ponytail is Li An'an, and the one with short shoulder-length hair is Chen Baiying."
Li Anan is very tall, nearly meters tall. She wears a pair of black sports arm guards. She has wheat-colored skin and is a very sassy girl.
Chen Baiying definitely fits the image of a good girl in her school days. She has fluffy air bangs, beautiful deer eyes, is not tall, and speaks in a soft voice.
After what happened to Lin Luo last time, Shen Nanzhi no longer dared to believe his first impression easily. After all, someone was destined to die in this game. If you don't want to be cannon fodder, you must keep your eyes open and make survival the first priority.
"Let's go take a look at the house in front first. Doesn't that mechanical sound say we want to restore the story?" Lin Que suddenly suggested.
Shen Nanzhi is very concerned about the hunter mentioned by the system. She hasn't received any information yet, does it mean that she has become 95% fish meat.
The big stone monument of Changshengtian was getting closer and closer, and small cyan characters appeared in front of Shen Nanzhi's eyes.
"Congratulations, Hunter.
Go to the town station before eight o'clock every night.
Hang up the five players you want to hunt at Shiting.
The system will tell you the hunting status in text after eight o'clock.
Shiting’s hunting fails in the following three situations:
1. This player has been hunted once.
2. This player is also a hunter.
3. The player was targeted and hunted by other hunters in advance. "
Before Shen Nanzhi could think about these five strange words "hunted once", she heard an exclamation in her Anan ran two steps quickly and reached out to hold Chen Baiying who was about to fall.
Although Chen Baiying was not face down, her knees were bruised by stones on the road. Blood seeped out of her off-white skirt. The piece of fabric she knelt down with her knees was badly worn and half-broken.
"Why are you so careless?"
Chen Baiying grabbed her arm and stood up, tears welling up in her eyes, her eyes turning red, and she shook her head. "It's okay, let's go."
"I'll go to the village later and see if I can ask the villagers to deal with it." Lin Que sighed heavily, with a sad face.
After stepping past the Immortal Sky Stone Monument, the sky gradually darkened. There was a burst of green smoke on the road. The white walls and black tiles in front could not be seen clearly. Shen Nanzhi's heart tightened. The current scene was similar to the "Undead Forest" she had watched on her mobile phone. The cover is 200 meters away, we arrived at the first house entering the village.
Lin Que became the representative of communication among a group of taciturn and socially introverted people, and knocked on the wooden door.
The red paint on the two doors was peeling off, the dark wooden door latches were locked from the inside, and the door god portraits on the doors began to curl.
After waiting for about a minute, there was no sound inside, so Lin Que backed down. "How about changing to another one?"
"What should I change? Didn't you notice that the doors were closed everywhere?" Shen Nanzhi pushed him away, reached out and knocked hard three more times.
I could hear the cry of a child coming from inside. "Oh, monster, don't eat me."
"I won't eat you. But if you don't open the door, we will eat you." Shen Nanzhi's voice was faint.
Li Anan was stunned. "No kid could be that stupid."
Half a second after she finished speaking, she heard the sound of the door latch falling down inside. After a few seconds, the door was opened from the inside, and the furry head poked out.
He was crying. "Say not to eat me."
Shen Nanzhi was amused and assured. "Absolutely not."
The boy stopped crying.
"It's just that I promised not to eat you." Shen Nanzhi changed her subject. "If you don't obey me, my brothers and sisters behind me may also eat you."
Because of these words, his round eyes opened wide, and because he underestimated the insidiousness and cunningness of the adults, the tears in his eyes fell down like big beans.
Li Anan looked the coldest on the outside, but actually had the softest heart, so he immediately stepped forward to coax him.
Shen Nanzhi closed the door and carried the small bench he stepped on behind the door to the yard. In the middle of the yard was an osmanthus tree, which was growing very well, with emerald green leaves and clusters of cute little light yellow flowers.
"Little Tangyuan, where are the adults in your family?" The boy nicknamed Tangyuan moved his short legs and pushed open a house directly opposite. The dust hit their faces and made them cough.
This is a bedroom. The door rail is covered with cobwebs, the floor is messy, there are fallen chairs and broken at the door and looking at the diagonal foot of the bed, there is a clothed skeleton lying there, and there is another body on the bed.
"They're all here."
Li Anan helped Chen Baiying simply treat the wound, while Lin Que was still asking about Tang as what the monster is, why the village is closed...and how to get out of here.
Tang Yuan hesitated and couldn't answer, but when he heard the last question, his eyes lit up. "I heard that you can go out through the woods outside the town at midnight."
"...But logically speaking, once you enter here, you can't go out again. There will be monsters that will capture us. If we don't obey again, our souls will be gone."
Shen Nanzhi wanted to visit Shiting. According to the rules, she needed to seize the opportunity, and she also wanted to observe other people's actions in Shiting.
If the hunter plays well, the minimum guarantee is 15 points, but once exposed, the public will gather fire.
The fog outside gradually dispersed, and Shen Nanzhi could feel the eyes on her shoulders moving happily.
"Want to go out and take a look?" Lin Que suggested, although he was scared, but did not flinch at all.
Chen Baiying's legs ached and she didn't want to leave. Li Anan couldn't bear to leave her here alone, so he also shook his head. "You go out and watch, I won't go."
The three of them walked to the door. As soon as Lin Que opened the door, Shen Nanzhi heard Chen Baiying say with concern from behind: "Be safe, remember to come back and tell us if you find anything."
