I'm running a safe house in unlimited streaming

Song Yang and the others found them about 300 meters away from where Lu Xiang and Cheng Hua had rested.

The scene at that time caused the six people to pause in their footsteps, with astonishment on their faces.

Cheng Hua sat under a peach tree, with his elbows on his knees and his face on his palms.

And not far from his feet, Lu Xiang was lying on his back on the ground, a large bloodstain spread out from the back of his head.

Song Yang's face sank, and he walked over quickly to see that Lu Xiang's pupils were dilated, and he hadn't breathed for a long time.

Under the back of his head was a sharp stone.

This scene is self-explanatory, Gu Xing covered his mouth, and Gu Chen lost his voice: "Uncle Cheng, you... what happened to you?!"

Hearing this shout, Cheng Hua seemed to have recovered.

He slowly moved his hands away, and Xia Jing noticed the number on his palm at a glance - 0.

This is the player's points. It was probably painted over by Cheng Hua before, but now the paint has faded and the numbers are revealed.

The score was cleared, but the person was not imprisoned in a small black room. This was the judgment of Chenghua by the Smiling Face City system.

Xia Jing glanced at the rock under the back of Lu Xiang's head - probably this rock also affected the judgment.

Cheng Hua trembled when he saw them.

He didn't seem to want to defend himself either, he just grabbed his hair with both hands and said with bloodshot eyes, "I'm sorry... I'm sorry, when I realized it, he was already like this... I didn't mean it, I didn't want to kill him... ..."

Chenghua didn't know when he was completely devoured by appetite.

Obviously when Lu Xiang and Gu Xing started to be hungry, he felt that he could hold on to it, but he didn't know if it was because he was tense all night. When he woke up early in the morning, he was so hungry that he was so hungry that he was absent-minded all the way. I don't have the mind to look for clues at all, I just think about eating, eating, eating!

At that time, he was full of impetuosity, staying here with Lu Xiang, on the one hand, to calm himself down, and on the other hand, he did volunteer to serve as Lu Xiang's bodyguard.

Unexpectedly, after sitting under that tree for a while, his appetite became stronger and stronger. At the same time, he smelled a sweet smell of fruit...

That breath made him yearn for it, and when he actually took the first bite of the peach, he went completely mad.

At this moment, Chenghua didn't quite remember how he attacked Lu Xiang, and how Lu Xiang died, but he clearly knew that he did all of this.

He actually killed someone!

Cheng Hua stared blankly at the ground, and murmured like crazy: "I'm sorry...I'm sorry, I really didn't mean to kill him..."

While crying, Gu Xing hid behind Gu Chen, and shouted in a broken voice, "Brother, that peach tree is so fragrant, I can't help it anymore, I really want to eat it..."

She grabbed the neckline with one hand and Gu Chen's clothes tightly with the other, enduring the pain.

Startled, Gu Chen quickly turned around and stopped her.

Lu Chenfei frowned and said, "Why are there peach trees here?"

You Ye looked at Gu Xing together for Gu Chen, and said coldly: "We have walked so much in this forest, have you seen any other normal edible plants? Not at all."

——This peach tree appeared here, there must be something wrong.

Xia Jing and Song Yang walked towards the peach tree at the same time. Hearing what they said, Cheng Hua also turned his head to look at them in a daze.

The peach tree was full of fruits, Xia Jing held a peach and turned it at will, and saw three red seeds stuck to the back of the peach.

Chenghua's Adam's apple rolled down, and he said palely, "What's wrong... What's wrong with this peach tree?"

Song Yang said with a serious face, "Uncle Cheng, how many peaches on this tree have you eaten?"

Cheng Hua was stunned.

From falling into madness to waking up, in the first half of the time, he was controlled by his appetite and lost his mind. In the second half of the time, he fell into a crash that killed the player, and he didn't care about other things.

But at this moment, he realized that there might be more bad things happening.

Cheng Hua swallowed, his heart beating wildly in his chest.

He glanced at the peaches on the tree, and said slowly: "Not many... I don't remember, it should, it shouldn't be many...?"

"When people are afraid, they will instinctively imagine everything that happens when their consciousness is blurred as beneficial to their own development." Xia Jing's tone was very calm, even gentle.

Cheng Hua froze suddenly.

The young man held out his hand to him.

Different from his strange face, the young man's hands are very slender and beautiful.

And when this hand stretched out, for some reason, Cheng Hua was so stiff that he couldn't move, his heart was beating like a drum.

Xia Jing's hand went around his neck and reached the back of his neck.

Under the silent gaze of the other five people, Xia Jing's index finger and thumb gently pinched a young leaf that had just grown and plucked it off.

At this moment, Chenghua clearly felt a pulling pain on the back of his neck, as if a hair had been pulled out, his muscles contracted suddenly, and his whole body trembled.

He covered the back of his neck and looked at the tender leaf between Xia Jing's fingers in fear, his voice became hoarse and his voice trembled.

This man, who has been trying to be stable since we first met, finally couldn't restrain the fear in his heart, and shouted: "What is this... what is this?! It was pulled from me?! What happened to my body? Maybe something like this will grow!?"

He opened his hands, opened his clothes, and frantically checked up and down.

"Uncle Cheng, when you were eating peaches, didn't you notice the seeds on the peaches?" Song Yang picked a peach, threw it over, and asked in a deep voice.

Cheng Hua looked sharply, the peach rolled a few times and stopped in front of him, a few strange blood-colored seeds were exposed in his vision.

Cheng Hua was completely stunned.

He had already lost his mind when he was eating the peaches, so how could he notice that there was something like this on the peaches...

And soon, he remembered Song Yang's advice on the way today.

Song Yang said, don't eat the seeds in your mouth...

Cheng Hua's face contorted, he gasped for breath, and asked: "What will happen to me?... What will happen to me if I eat these seeds?! Will I die? Am I dying soon? ?!"

Song Yang's mood was a little complicated.

He took a deep breath, motioned for Lu Chenfei and You Ye to help explain the matter to Chenghua, while he and Xia Jing squatted down under the peach tree.

They have no time to worry about more, they have to hurry up and get down to business.

——This peach tree is far away from the vegetable and fruit field, growing here alone, obviously something is wrong, it doesn't look like the masterpiece of the hotel staff.

The two quickly pushed aside the thick fallen leaves covering the ground and found a dead body.

Different from the corpse in the vegetable and fruit field, this corpse was fully clothed, and both the clothes and the state of the corpse showed that this person had died within two days.

Xia Jing quickly judged: "Is this the crazy man that the mustache manager mentioned?"

The peach tree grew out of the man's stomach, and the corpse still kept the movement of covering his stomach sideways, with a hint of pain in his expression.

Song Yang found a messenger bag from behind the corpse, and a notebook and a pen were scattered beside the bag.

The notebook was with a blank page open, Song Yang picked it up, flipped it forward, and soon found the page that was recorded by this npc with messy notes.

"If someone finds me and I'm dead, when you see my last words, please believe what I say, don't think I'm crazy, and then... call the police!"

"Smiley City Forest Hotel is a devil hotel. The vegetables and fruits served in this hotel are very wrong. Eating them will make people addicted. All customers are crazy, including myself!"

"There is a basement hidden in their kitchen. I saw many corpses in the basement. The plants growing on those corpses are the plants we ate!"

"I peeped and saw the chef solemnly shut a white cabinet, which must have hidden all the secrets in it, but I couldn't break in, because I was discovered, and I could only escape without stopping! "

"I also dropped my phone halfway!"

"It's early in the morning and I lost consciousness last night when I was flooded with seeds, but I know that many seeds have crawled into my mouth, down my esophagus and all the way to my stomach...my stomach is about to If it is broken, these devil seeds will take root in my body, and I will die soon..."

The note is broken here.

Xia Jing and Song Yang looked at each other, and they stood up.

At this time, Lu Chenfei and You Ye had almost told Cheng Hua all the clues they found, and Cheng Hua's face was ashen.

Perhaps because he ate too many seeds at once, his germination time came much faster than Zhou Yaqing.

After such a short period of time, a crisp and tender leaf has grown on the back of his neck, and the thin wooden branches attached to the root of the leaf can be faintly seen.

Chenghua gritted his teeth, and stretched out his hand to pull out the branch with a grim face. As a result, with a howl, he pulled out blood. There was a little flesh on the branch, and a small blood hole appeared where the branch took root!

Gu Xing exclaimed, and You Ye shouted: "Don't pull it out!"

Once a seed has started to sprout, there is probably nothing to stop it.

It will grow longer if you pull it out, it doesn't make sense!

Cheng Hua burst into tears.

Humans are very strange creatures. He dared to stay alone in the room last night, ready to face the monster alone, even if he died, he didn't want to drag others down.

But at this moment, his willpower seemed to be completely crushed.

His body is still hungry, he just killed a companion, his body is parasitized by strange seeds, Cheng Hua has lived for so many years, and has never collapsed like this.

He shouted: "You kill me, you kill me now, okay?!"

The six people looked at him silently.

Not to mention whether they can't deal with players who are also human, even if they grit their teeth and give Chenghua a good time, they still need to pay a corresponding price.

With the dungeon game suspected to be coming to an end, no one dared to try that price.

This kind of silence made Chenghua collapse even more - he couldn't even die, could he just be tortured to death by the buds from the seeds, absorbing all the nutrients?

Song Yang closed his eyes and said calmly: "Follow us, we don't know how long it will take for the sprouted human beings to die completely, maybe there is still time."

Cheng Hua wept bitterly.

Song Yang asked Lu Chenfei to help Chenghua, and then whispered to Gu Chen, "Take care of Gu Xing."

Gu Chen nodded solemnly.

You Ye sighed and covered Lu Box with a coat, and the group turned around and returned to the vegetable and fruit field.

Coming back to the entrance of the tunnel, Song Yang said to the rest of the people: "Everything is still going according to the plan just now."

Everyone nodded heavily.

At this moment, it is 04:30 in the afternoon.

Seven people filed in and entered the tunnel.

Song Yang and Xia Jing led the way, followed by Gu Chen and Gu Xing, You Ye looked at Cheng Hua, and Lu Chenfei was behind.

The tunnel stretches into the distance, seemingly endless. A light is lit every ten meters, and the light barely maintains the field of vision.

The two vents at one end and one at the end were too far apart, and the seven people felt stuffy as soon as they entered.

After running for two steps, Gu Xing began to pant, and his face became paler and paler.

Cheng Hua was completely depressed, he just let You Ye urge him forward in a daze.

A slender branch has reappeared from the blood hole on the back of his neck, and a leaf has also appeared on his left cheek. Obviously, his first wave of germination will be concentrated on his head and neck.

Cheng Hua staggered forward while running, while muttering: "I killed someone, you don't need to save me."

The tunnel is very narrow, this sentence was passed to everyone's ears, and everyone reacted differently.

Lu Chenfei was the first to whisper: "You said it yourself, you didn't intend to kill him, did you?"

"Yes...but I still killed a person, this crime will not disappear just because I didn't do it on purpose," Cheng Hua murmured, "And my points have been cleared, even if I get this dungeon, it doesn't make sense .”

"Uncle," said Lu Chenfei, who was also a little hungry and tired from running, "You know there are so many players in Smiling Face City, and No.1 only has more than 5000 points, right?"

Everyone's footsteps staggered in the tunnel, and everyone listened to Lu Chenfei in silence.

"As long as you clear a three-star copy, you can get more than 100 points, and 250 points means one hundred times. Smile City has been running for more than 1 days. Have you ever wondered why No.5000 only has more than 5000 points? ——The big one among the more than 1 points even got it because only player No.[-] survived the last four-star dungeon!"

"And the answer is very simple - because many, many people have died before!"

"In the past 200 days, there may have been several players with high scores and high IQs, but in the end, we are all mortals, and everyone's customs clearance has talent factors, acquired caution factors, and The element of luck in metaphysics, but again, no one can say for certain when the day will come, all these factors added up, are no match for a second of distraction at a time, people are such fragile creatures."

At the front, Xia Jing glanced at Song Yang beside him.

The man stared straight ahead in silence.

"You didn't expect that you would be no match for this hunger, otherwise you would rather be with our large army. We have a large number of people, so we can restrain you at least; Lu Xiang didn't expect you to be completely crazy, otherwise he would definitely not I’ll come closer to stop you——I’m not saying this to comfort you, after all, killing someone is killing someone, and if you put it in the real world, you should go to jail if you should, but we’re in the City of Smiley Faces now!”

"In this ghost place, keeping your fragile life is more meaningful than dying, do you understand?"

Lu Chenfei said bluntly: "To put it bluntly, even if you are going to die, you have to die for a purpose. If you die, you can get back more fragile lives. If you die without meaning, then save this life for the rest of your life." Die again, now try to live for me!"

Cheng Hua trembled.

Lu Chenfei was much younger than him, but his words were very transparent and straightforward.

Cheng Hua closed his eyes in shame. He took a deep breath, and when he opened his eyes, his eyes became firmer.

That's right, even if he wants to die, he has to die meaningfully...

His life should still be useful.

The ten-kilometer journey was an extremely fast-paced round trip. Except for Xia Jing's inhuman physique, almost no one present could say that he could bear it.

Halfway through, Gu Xing's legs gave way and she fell to the ground. Gu Chen quickly helped her up.

He gasped and said nervously, "Xiao Xing, are you alright?"

Gu Xing's hand was like a claw, deeply embedded in the skin of his arm, and Gu Chen was shocked by the force.

Gu Xing swallowed hard, and said in a hoarse voice, "I...I'm fine."

She struggled to stand up, holding her head up.

When he met his sister's straight eyes, Gu Chen felt as if a bucket of cold water had been poured on his head.

He pursed his lips, clasped Gu Xing's wrist forcefully, gritted his teeth and said, "Hold on, hold on a little longer, Xiao Xing!"

Time passed by every minute and every second, but the scenery in the tunnel remained unchanged.

They ran for a while, rested for a while, and in the end, even You Ye and Lu Chenfei supported the wall, as if they could spit it out at any time.

Xia Jing glanced at the time, gasped slightly, and said, "It might be exactly ten o'clock in the evening when we arrived at the hotel."

Song Yang closed his eyes, tried to adjust his breathing, and nodded.

Looking at his appearance, Xia Jing tilted his head and asked, "Do you need me to carry you, Doctor Song?"

Song Yang laughed, opened his eyes, rubbed his head, and said in a hoarse voice, "It won't happen."

"That's good." Xia Jing paused, raised his eyebrows and asked, "Will human beings die from exhaustion?"

"Of course, humans can even choke to death on food," Song Yang stood up straight, "but just like what Lu Chenfei said, even if I die, I won't let myself die in this way."

Xia Jing looked at him for a while, then looked away, and said calmly, "Then I hope you can live well, Doctor Song."

Almost as soon as this sentence landed, there was a sob behind them.

The two turned their heads quickly.

Chenghua knelt down on the ground, the branches at the back of his neck suddenly stretched out, thick and leafy, and in a blink of an eye it had grown into a small tree!

Two bright red apples hung from the branches of the small tree at a speed visible to the naked eye between the leaves.

The heavy weight almost dragged Chenghua back, he tried his best to support his body until his face flushed red.

Beside Gu Chen, Gu Xing moved forward a bit.
