Seeing that Jiang Lai agreed, the seven people followed her and walked towards the voice. Sure enough, they passed through the gap between the seats of the bus and saw a dirty little face not far ahead.

The girl opened her big round eyes, which were clearly black and white, and looked at them with a pleading look.

"Don't be afraid, we will rescue you soon." Lu Zhou said.

Seeing such a poor little girl trapped, he felt some sympathy.

But it's just sympathy.

For an old player who has experienced countless life-and-death tests in the game's dungeon world, it is very rare to be able to show such sympathy when seeing an NPC trapped.

Because there were a lot of demolition tools in the prop bar, and there was strength in numbers, they rescued the girl with almost no effort.

"Oh, thank you!" The girl gave them a grateful smile.

"If you hadn't saved me, I might have been trapped and died in the bus."

Although the girl's face and body looked gray, she did not have any fatal scars, only some minor scratches on her arms.

She was trapped by the damaged seat of the bus and could not get out without external help.

"Ah, I'm relieved to see that you are all okay." The girl said, giving them a big smile.

"No, we're busy."

Jiang Lai walked up, looked at the girl seriously, and spoke.

"Ah?! Are you...are you injured anywhere?" The girl's expression immediately became nervous, and she looked at them and said very uneasily.

"The previous car accident was too serious, causing us to suffer concussion and temporary amnesia. We can't remember anything now." Jiang Lai looked at the girl with regret and started to lie.

girl:??!

She looked at the eight people in front of her with a shocked expression and asked, "Have you all... lost your memories?!"

"Well, who said it wasn't! We even forgot who you are and why we are here." Jiang Lai shook his head and said with regret.

girl:……

Is she... experiencing a massive collective amnesia scene? !

The girl was looking at Jiang Lai and the others in shock, and then Jiang Lai said to her with a smile: "But it's okay, we saved you, didn't we? You must still remember what we forgot, right? Why don't you tell us about it?"

"I... my name is Niu Lingling. You are all my classmates. Your names are..."

Niu Lingling called out the names of Jiang Lai and others in order from nearest to farthest, and they were exactly the same names they had filled in on their internship reports.

It seems that the memory of Niu Lingling, an important NPC, was generated based on the text they had just filled in on the internship report.

The mission to rescue Niu Lingling was also activated after they filled in their names on the internship report.

Of course, as players, they would not confess all this to Niu Lingling.

Jiang Lai nodded, walked over, and held Niu Lingling's arm tightly and intimately.

"Well, Lingling, you see, we saved you and we are indebted to you. We also lost our memories, how pitiful. Why don't you tell us why we came to this place?"

"We...the reason we came here is not because...because the class monitor said that she would take us to her hometown to teach? In this way, we can get an internship certificate and graduate successfully. Not only that, we can also get excellent evaluations for teaching in remote mountainous areas, paving the way for us to find better jobs in the future." Niu Lingling said.

Having said that, she looked around, and a hint of uneasiness appeared in her big eyes.

"It seems... we are the only survivors of this car accident. The squad leader, and even the driver who was contacted by the squad leader to pick us up, died in this car accident..."

Having said this, Niu Lingling's face turned pale and her expression became even more uneasy.

"Oh my God! So many people are dead now, and the squad leader is also dead... What should we... What should we do?!"

"Who says we have no way out without a squad leader?" Jiang Lai patted Niu Lingling on the shoulder and encouraged her: "Although the current situation is very bad, we still have to maintain an optimistic attitude."

Hearing Jiang Lai's encouraging words, Niu Lingling couldn't help but look at her with shining eyes. She continued, "Maybe the situation will get worse next?"

Niu Lingling: ...

That makes a lot of sense. Please don't say that next time.

Jiang Lai continued, "You don't need to worry about things that can't be solved today. Because they may not be solved tomorrow."

Niu Lingling: ...

Sister, you know how to comfort people.

In order to prevent Jiang Lai from continuing to instill these poisonous chicken soup into her, Niu Lingling quickly said: "It's getting late now. We can't stay here any longer. Let's go to the village that the squad leader mentioned. Maybe we can find someone to help us?"

Jiang Lai smiled.

Isn't she helping a depressed NPC girl to cheer up again?

How simple.

I believe the other teammates have also learned the lesson.

The nine people began to walk towards the village ahead.

Along the way, Jiang Lai and others would try to ask Niu Lingling some questions about the village in a roundabout way.

Unfortunately, Niu Lingling seemed to know very little about that village.

Apart from the fact that the name of the village was Pingguling and that the squad leader's home was in the village, she knew nothing about anything else.

The crowd walked from the setting sun until dark, when they finally saw the small village called Pingguling.

Bathed in the cool evening breeze, one can vaguely see a dilapidated and desolate little village standing in the dim twilight.

The houses in the village are all built with stone slabs. They have fallen into disrepair and look very old and dilapidated.

Walking on the small path in the village, you can hear the rustling sound of fallen leaves from time to time.

Old trees that have been growing for hundreds of years can be seen everywhere in the village. The thick trunks show the traces left by the years, and the treetops are lush and green, but they do not have a vibrant feeling. Instead, they look lifeless.

Walking along a stone road to the entrance of the village, they met an old man who was returning with cattle.

Seeing so many young people coming to Pingguling all of a sudden, the old man showed a look of surprise on his face.
