Don't run, there are monsters everywhere.

"No heartbeat?" Zhang Cheng touched his chin, looking very interested.

He pondered for a while and said, "If the person named 'Ashu' has no heartbeat, then this matter becomes interesting."

"We walked all the way here and met many villagers on the way." Zhang Cheng analyzed.

"If everyone except him has a heartbeat, it excludes the possibility that it is like the hair-like snail, which has no heart but can parasitize the human body."

"Of course, it is also possible that this person named 'Ashu' is an alien, the kind that can survive without a heart, just like the flower."

Zhang Cheng's analysis is not unreasonable. The heartbeat of the flower is simulated by her, and the flower itself has no heart.

"There is another possibility." Zhang Cheng smiled and continued, "This Ashu is the chosen one."

The abilities of the chosen ones vary. Perhaps Ashu's ability can just block his own voice.

Lin Yi and Zhou Kai thought about it and felt that the latter probability was greater.

They remembered very clearly that until Ashu spoke, they did not notice the existence of each other at all.

"Isn't that more dangerous?" Zhou Kai's face became a little solemn, "Why do you find it interesting?"

"This matter does sound very dangerous, but don't forget, Zhu Lai said that Ah Shu came to the village not long ago." Zhang Cheng said with a smile.

"What do you mean?" Zhou Kai asked, "When did he come, and is there any direct relationship with the danger we are facing now?"

Zhang Cheng shook his head: "No, but his existence may make our situation safer."

"You mean..." Lin Yi pondered for a while, and suddenly realized, "A Shu was brought here by Zhu Lai on purpose?!"

Zhang Cheng nodded, lowered his voice and whispered: "This Ah Shu may be a third party force."

Whether Ah Shu is an alien or a chosen one, it is a fact that Zhou Kai did not hear his heartbeat, so the identity of this Ah Shu is definitely not as simple as it seems on the surface.

He was lucky enough to save his life from the hands of the alien, but he was able to adapt to this place so quickly, and even there was no fear on his face, which was enough to show that he had long been accustomed to the existence of aliens.

"If you think about it this way, doesn't it become interesting?" Zhang Cheng continued.

"The third party must have a purpose for coming here."

"So, what is his purpose?"

Lin Yi looked up and looked out the window. The scenery in front of him was beautiful, but apart from these glowing mosses and fungi, there was really nothing special that was worth coming here.

So, this place must be hiding something that Lin Yi and the others don't know.

"In that case, should we try to contact Ah Shu?" Lin Yi asked.

"I think--"

Zhang Cheng was about to speak, but Zhou Kai covered his mouth.

"Someone is coming." Zhou Kai said softly.

Soon, footsteps were heard outside the house.

The footsteps were getting closer and closer, and then two villagers carrying wooden trays walked in.

"Hello." The villagers smiled and greeted Lin Yi and the others enthusiastically.

"Brother Zhu asked us to bring some food." The villagers walked in and put the wooden tray on the table.

There were a lot of things on the plate, all of which were foods that Lin Yi and the others had never seen before.

Some strange-looking mushrooms, as if washed with water, with water droplets hanging on them.

Some unknown fruits, faintly exuding a sweet scent.

What Lin Yi cares most about is the pure white thing that occupies two-thirds of the wooden plate.

This thing looks like a peeled egg, with a very smooth skin.

These things are oval, about the length of an adult's palm.

"This is..." Lin Yi walked over, a little curious about the thing on the wooden plate, "What is this? Fruit?"

The villager shook his head: "Although it is called 'egg fruit', it is not a fruit."

"Egg fruit is a specialty here, and you can only eat it here." As he said, the villager picked up one from the plate and fed one end into his mouth.

Gently bit the skin, and with a "slurp", the originally plump egg fruit instantly had only a shriveled skin.

"Is there water in it?" Zhang Cheng also came over.

"It's not water." The villager licked his lips, as if he was still unsatisfied. "It tastes similar to rice porridge, very delicious."

"Besides, egg fruit is rich in nutrients, we eat it almost every meal here."

"When eating, just bite a little bit of the skin on it like I did just now, and then suck it hard." The villager continued to introduce, "The egg fruit melts in your mouth, it's really delicious."

"You have suffered outside, you must be starving." Another villager also said with a smile.

"Don't be polite, eat something, and then take a rest. If it's not enough, tell us."

As he said, the villager woke up the two children who were originally asleep and introduced to them how to eat this strange food.

The two children really looked starving, and even before the two villagers left, they reached out and grabbed the things in the wooden plate and started eating.

Lin Yi wanted to stop them. After all, this thing looked raw, and facing this kind of food that was unknown and they didn't understand it at all, Lin Yi really didn't dare to try it easily.

Unfortunately, the two children ate very quickly, and the villagers were watching them, so they could only let them eat.

"Don't you want to eat?" The villagers looked at Lin Yi and the others.

"We'll eat later." Lin Yi thought for a moment and said, "I've made an agreement with my brother to eat together when he comes back."

"My brother and I have been separated for so many years and have never eaten together." Lin Yi continued, "I want to eat with him for the first meal after the reunion."

"Is that so." The villagers nodded, and did not continue to persuade him. After a few simple words, they turned around and left.

"What is this thing...?" Zhou Kai picked up an egg fruit from the wooden plate and squeezed it with his hands. It felt soft and comfortable to squeeze.

He looked up at the two children who were eating the egg fruit. They were eating in a hurry. They didn't have time to swallow the egg fruit they sucked in immediately, and the milky white juice flowed down the corners of their mouths.

Rather than saying that the content in the egg fruit is like porridge, it is more like extra sticky yogurt.

Zhang Cheng stared at the egg fruit on the plate for a while, as if he suddenly thought of something, and quickly picked up a few and arranged them vertically.

Lin reacted instantly as he pressed the neatly arranged egg fruits in Zhang Cheng's hand.

"This is... insect eggs?!"
