Xu Shu closed the book and looked at Ji Chuan: "What shall we do next?"

Although he knew Xiaohe was lying, he couldn't just go back and confront her right?

Ji Chuan thought for a while, and just as he was about to speak, there was a burst of shouting from the street outside.

If you heard me right, the name should be "Zhang Mao".

The two looked at each other and walked out of the door quickly together.

They went to the street and saw Yang Rui, Yuan Guang and Yao from a distance calling Zhang Mao's name while walking.

Xu Shu cleared his throat and shouted, "What's the matter, haven't you found anyone yet?"

The three of them stopped when they heard the sound.

Yang Rui replied: "I don't know where he has gone. If he is going to a farther place, he should say hello to us."

Yuan Guang said: "I suspect that something happened to him, what are you two doing, can you also help to find someone together?"

Xu Shu thought to himself, if they haven't found Zhang Mao for so long, then he either hid on purpose, or something bad happened.

The chance of deliberately hiding is a bit small. After all, this is a survival mission. There are many people and strength. Even if you want to eat human flesh... If everyone eats together, the psychological burden will be relieved.

Therefore, most people are cold.

Thinking of this, he nodded and said, "Okay, then let's search separately. No matter if we find it or not, we will gather at the courtyard at noon."

Although the person is probably dead, if the body is found, some clues may be found from the body.

The most important thing, of course, is to find out the taboos of this game.

In the paradise game, no matter what kind of mission, there is a hidden taboo.

If the player does not trigger, the NPC cannot kill.

If Zhang Mao is really dead, then he must have committed a taboo.

But after searching, he found Noon, but did not find any trace of him.

Xu Shu and Ji Chuan went back to the courtyard and drank some water. Xiaohe seemed very happy to see them back, and when he came up, he hugged Xu Shu's arm and acted like a baby.

But Xu Shu remembered the incident that she went out last night.

He didn't believe it was such a coincidence at all, but she happened to come out to go to the bathroom during the time when he and Ji Chuan woke up.

The night is so long, and it takes less than a few minutes to go to the toilet. What are the chances that the two parties will collide by chance?

In contrast, it is more convincing to say that she got up in the middle of the night and killed Zhang Mao.

It's just... where did Zhang Mao's body go?

They have already spent half a day in the morning looking for it. There is almost nothing missing in the whole town. Such a big man, he can't get into the mouse hole, right?

Not long after, the other three players also came back.

They also found no one, nor did they find anything to eat.

Yuan Guang chewed with grass roots in his mouth, frowned and said, "I really can't find it. In my opinion, forget it. Don't look for him anymore. If you keep looking, everyone's physical strength will be exhausted faster." , it’s really not necessary.”

"However, at least we need to know what the taboo is." Yang Rui said, "If he is still alive, he shouldn't see people for a long time, so he should be dead. If we find him, we may be able to guess the taboo."

She sighed, looked up at the sky and said, "Even if you can survive by cannibalism, you have to find taboos, otherwise no one will die suddenly at any time."

Yuan Guang was silent for a moment, swallowed the grass root in his mouth, and said, "Well, let's look for it in the afternoon, if we still can't find it, forget it."

"Actually, if there is water, humans can live for dozens of days even without food."

Yu Yao, who had been silent all this time, leaned against the corner and said slowly: "There is a real event in history—the hunger strike of the Irish Republican Army in the early 1980s. Among them, the shortest time from hunger strike to death was 46 days. Therefore, as long as there is Water, it is not a big problem to spend ten days here. In addition, there is a lot of salt here, and we can get some salt water to drink."

Hearing this, Yang Rui's eyes lit up: "So, we don't need to eat human flesh at all?! That's great! From the time I entered the game to just now, I have been doing mental construction for myself!"

"It's not that simple," Yuan Guang said, "I tried starving for a week before, during which I only drank mineral water and a box of 250ml iced black tea. My legs trembled. At this point I stopped, I don’t know what will happen to the tenth day of hunger, but I’m afraid I can’t walk freely.”

Xu Shu said: "The most difficult thing during this period is that we may trigger taboos at any time. If we are really hungry to the point where it is difficult to walk, then we will not even have a chance to turn things around."

According to previous game experience, even if a taboo is triggered in the game, there is still a chance to turn defeat into victory, as long as you break it before being killed by the ghost.

But if you don't do anything and just want to drink water until the end, then once the taboo is triggered at that time, there is no way to resist at all.

In short, if you want to survive, you must find clues, and any player should not be lazy.

Yuan Guang, who originally planned to wait until the tenth day, had given up this idea at this time.

They discussed it and decided that Yuan Guang and Yang Rui would go to Zhang Mao in the afternoon, while Xu Shu, Ji Chuan and Yu Yao would search for clues carefully in the town.

There was nothing to eat for lunch, so they found some salt and put it in the water to make light salt water, and each drank a large bowl.

Another long and tedious search in the afternoon.

Because Yu Yao also acted with Xu Shu and the others, Xu Shu told him about Xiaohe.

After hearing this, Yu Yao also felt that Zhang Mao's disappearance was inseparable from her.

It's just that Zhang Mao and Xiao He are two completely unrelated people, and they haven't even had a conversation.

Zhang Mao only showed a little rejection of her existence, thinking that she should not be a burden.

It's not because of such a sentence, is it?Could it be that the taboo here is not to offend "ghosts"?

They couldn't think of a reason for a while, so they put it aside for a while, and discussed the doubts about Xiao He while looking for clues.

If I had to say it, the information she revealed to the players now was "lies" and "patriarchal".

But whether it is lying or patriarchal, it seems that it has nothing to do with the current situation.

Since the background of this game is famine, the story line should also be related to this.

But in those houses in the town, nothing worth noting was found.

After five o'clock in the afternoon, Xu Shu and the others stopped searching, found wooden barrels and hoes in the empty house, and slowly filtered out half a bucket of water by the river.

This process took a lot of time, and the sky became gloomy by the time I had enough half a bucket of water to drink.

Although it looks bright from the outside, candles have to be lit inside these ancient buildings with poor lighting.

It is not convenient to continue looking for clues under such circumstances, so they returned to the courtyard.

Xiao He was really waiting here, and came out to meet them as soon as he heard the door open.

She was the most clingy to Xu Shu, and when she came over, she grabbed his sleeve and said, "Brother Xu, Xiaohe is so hungry."

Xu Shu had no choice but to ask someone to give her something to drink.

But she shook her head, covered her stomach and said, "Will you go out with me, I want...to eat something."

When Xu Shu heard this, he immediately felt his scalp go numb.

He knew what Xiaohe was going to eat.

Then he was a little worried - did he unknowingly trigger the taboo?Did Xiaohe tell him to go out to kill him?

"I'll take you."

When Xu Shu was hesitating, Ji Chuan grabbed Xiao He's wrist and pulled her out.

Xu Shu was stunned, and quickly followed: "Then let's go together."

There are many emaciated dead bodies in the town, and there are also some living people who are still lingering.

Xiao He stopped in front of a staring living man.

She licked her lips, raised her head to look at Xu Shu innocently, and pointed at that person: "Brother Xu, can I eat his arm?"

Xu Shu felt a chill in his heart, and his spine felt cold: "But he is still alive..."

"He's going to die soon," Xiao He showed an aggrieved expression, and lowered his head slightly: "The flesh of those dead people is cold and hard, and there is no blood, I can't bite, and they all stink..."

Xu Shu felt a little nauseous.

He turned his head to look at Ji Chuan, and said with his eyes, "You should do it."

Ji Chuan looked at him, then looked down at Xiaohe, pointed to a corpse in the distance, and said coldly: "You can only eat that, otherwise you don't want to eat anything."

Xiao He opened his mouth to retort, but shrunk his neck after seeing his cold eyes, lowered his head and said, "Then... can you cook it for me, I want to eat thighs."

Xu Shu raised his forehead, wishing that he was deaf at this moment.

He knew that Xiaohe regarded cannibalism as a very common thing.She didn't think there was anything wrong with eating these people, after all, in this period, everyone did it.

That's why the child, who usually looks well-behaved and docile, will say such words like a devil at this moment.

However, Ji Chuan is inexplicably similar to this brat...

Probably because they all behaved abnormally.

When Xiaohe was eating "something" with a warm bowl, all the other players hid in the corner of the yard, and no one dared to look.

But this night, apart from this incident, everything was peaceful.

Zhang Mao really just disappeared.

Yuan Guang and Yang Rui did not find him, although they had already found him outside the town.

The two looked for it towards the end of the town, because this direction is closer to the courtyard.Zhang Mao's body wasn't in the town, so they naturally had to look for it in the nearby periphery.

But they searched on the hillside and in the river, and looked at the corpses lying outside one by one, but they still couldn't see him.

until the next afternoon.

Yang Rui and Yuan Guang, who had given up on searching, accidentally saw Zhang Mao's pale face in the mud downstream of the river when they went out to fetch water.
