Non-Human Seeking Re-employment

The area of ​​this island is very large, and the group of people walked for more than an hour without getting out of the rainforest.

The jacket raised the knife in his hand, cut off the branch in front of him, and walked over.

Due to the weather and a lot of exercise, he was already covered in sweat, as if he had been fished out of the water.

Not to mention the players following behind.

The girl with the glasses is okay, but the girl with the long skirt has trouble moving. I don’t know how many times she fell, and her beautiful long skirt was scratched. She leaned against the tree very weakly.

"No, I can't walk anymore, can I go back?"

The jacket glanced indifferently at the woman in the long skirt.

The girl in the long skirt didn't get any answer, and pulled the leaf above her head as if venting her anger, but after doing this, she suddenly found something wrong.She raised her head slowly, and met a particularly abrupt shape in a mass of emerald green.

There was a group of snake coiled on the branch. The snake head raised high and made a "hissing" sound. It slowly bent down and stared coldly at the woman in the long skirt who was close at hand.

The girl in the long skirt had never encountered such a situation before, her legs were so weak that she couldn't move, she wanted to ask for help, but her mouth seemed to be blocked by something, and she couldn't utter a word.

The snake sensed the weakness of its prey, a fierce light flashed in its eyes, the scales under its abdomen rubbed against the bark, the snake body stretched into a straight line, like a flash of lightning, and rushed towards the neck of the woman in long skirt.

The girl in the long skirt couldn't move at all, and could only wait to die with her eyes wide open.

And it all happened so fast that the other players didn't even have time to react.

Seeing that the fangs were close at hand, a hand stretched out from the side of the woman in a long skirt, and tightly pinched the snake by seven inches.

The girl in the long skirt narrowly escaped death and fell limply to the ground.

The snake that was ready to go was instantly restrained, and its tail curled up weakly.

Shen Dongqing shook the snake in her hand: "Can I eat it?"

This snake is emerald green in color and looks delicious.

Zhou Wenyan held down his hand that was about to move: "It's okay to deal with it."

Now this condition can be dealt with, Shen Dongqing can only regretfully put down the snake's body.

Now the others reacted too.

The girl with glasses pushed her glasses and looked at the snake on the ground: "There are snakes here."

This way, the rain forest is very clean, there are not even small wild animals, so what do these snakes live on?

This may be a key point.

The tattooed man still hadn't learned enough lessons, and said carelessly: "We still have to ask outside for help, what's the use of staring at a snake?"

The woman with glasses glanced at him, and the tattooed man took a step back in fright.

Fortunately, the girl with glasses didn't have time to argue with an idiot, and said, "Be careful next, there must be more than this snake here."

Zhou Wenyan looked down at the snake curled up into a ball.

I don't know if it's because of the angle of throwing. The corpses that fell on the ground are connected end to end, forming a ring.

After this small episode, the group continued to move forward.

After walking for more than half an hour, I couldn't stand it even with a jacket. Walking in the rainforest consumes a lot of water. In addition, there has been no shortage of fresh water, and I have symptoms of dehydration.

There is no way to move on, the players can only stop and take a break.

After making sure there were no snakes nearby, the group sat down under a tree.

The woman with glasses said, "It's not an option to keep walking now. This island is really too big, and we can't figure it out at all."

The jacket took off his coat, wiped the sweat off his face, and sat on the rock: "Since we've come here, we can only continue down."

Girl with Glasses: "We've all wasted so much time with no clue what the game wants us to do? What's the purpose?"

The tattooed man whispered, "It's better to listen to me and light a fire on the beach so that passing ships and planes can see the distress signal."

The girl with glasses got a little impatient: "I said this is not a real world, and it doesn't matter if there are passing ships or not."

Tattooed man: "What if there is?"

The girl in the long skirt also said weakly: "Yes, this rainforest is too deep, and there are snakes, we might as well go back to the beach and try his method."

The tattooed man immediately won the support of one person, and his confidence became stronger.He turned his head to look at the other two people who had no sense of presence, and asked, "What about you?"

Shen Dongqing was obviously out of shape, and blinked blankly: "Huh?"

The tattooed man had seen Shen Dongqing's ability to catch snakes with his bare hands just now, and he really wanted to win Shen Dongqing over. He said, "Do you want to move forward or go back?"

Shen Dongqing thought for a while: "Go ahead." He said a very classic sentence, "Everyone is here."

Tattooed Man: ...

Do you really think of this as a trip?

The jacket stood up: "Let's go, we have to find the water source as soon as possible."

Players are also human beings, no matter what abilities they have, there is nothing they can do in this natural environment.

But the jacket is not too panic, after all, if the game really wants to kill them, just starve them to death in a closed room, there is no need to make such a big circle.

Fortunately, I got out of the rainforest and finally found a lake.

There is a lake in the heart of the island. The area of ​​the lake is quite large, and you can't see the edge at a glance.

The jacket couldn't wait to walk to the lake, scooped up a handful of lake water, and spit it out after taking a sip. The lake water was salty and astringent, so it was obviously sea water.

"This is also sea water!"

There is no fresh water.

The players were all sitting on the ground. They all looked extremely embarrassed. Their bodies were covered in mud and fallen leaves in the rainforest. Only Shen Dongqing and Zhou Wenyan were fine.

Shen Dongqing sat cross-legged under a tree, looked up at the light spots falling from above: "It's so quiet."

Hearing what he said, other players also noticed.

Not only are there no wild animals here, there is not even the sound of birds and insects, as if the whole island is a dead island.

The girl in the long skirt whispered, "It's unlikely, this doesn't conform to the biological chain."

Without any living things, this rainforest would not be able to grow so lush.

The tattooed man said: "It's been said that this is a game world, maybe it's not set at all."

Glasses girl: "This kind of situation is very rare, and why there are no other creatures, but there are snakes."

While they were thinking, the woman in the long skirt suddenly said, "Do you have any other clothes?"

The other players looked over.

The girl in the long skirt lowered her head in embarrassment: "My skirt..."

This rainforest has not been walked for many years, and there is no way to walk. The woman in the long skirt is wearing a skirt, her legs are scratched with bloodstains, and the skirt is too tattered to look at.

Jacket passed the jacket over.

The girl in the long skirt said "thank you" and tied her coat around her waist.

Tattooed man: "Women are just in the way, and they still wear skirts."

The girl in the long skirt explained: "It was changed for me when I came in, not my original clothes..."

The jacket raised his voice: "What did you say?"

The girl in the long skirt was taken aback, but she repeated it in a low voice.

Jacket: "Why does the game change clothes for you?"

At first I thought the key point was on this island, but after searching for a long time on the island, I couldn't find anything useful, not even fresh water.

Now it seems that the key point may still be on the player.

The woman in the long skirt recalled: "A voice told me that I was the girlfriend of a rich second generation, and was taken by the rich second generation on a cruise ship to go out to sea, and then I was at sea as soon as I opened my eyes."

The tattooed man also seemed to remember: "It seems that I am the rich second generation."

Jacket asked: "Besides this, did you say anything else?"

After all, these two are newcomers, and they were frightened when they came in. They still remember the reminder, and they only remember it now when they talk about it.

"I don't remember clearly." The tattooed man said, "It seems that there is a mysterious island nearby. I wanted to come here, so I found a bodyguard and set off with my girlfriend."

Jacket: "Do you still remember the name of this mysterious island?"

Tattooed man: "Where do I remember this? It seems to be a long string of names, or birdsong, or appointments, etc., messy."

The face of the jacket is a little unhappy.

The core characters were given to the two newcomers, and the others were set as bodyguards, so they must know nothing, but these two were newcomers, and this game sincerely wanted to punish them.

The tattooed man trembled when he remembered his identity, pointed at the group of people and said, "You all have to listen to me, let's turn around and go back to the beach now, and wait for others to rescue us."

The glasses girl rolled her eyes.

In order to save energy, the jacket ignored this idiot.

At this time, Shen Dongqing let out a "huh".

After the other players went through the experience of Big Fish last time, no one turned their heads at all.

The tattooed man who lost face was even more angry, shouting: "Are you an idiot? You just yell when something happens..."

The tattooed man looked over while roaring, and when he noticed the gaze of the man next to Shen Dongqing, his whole body trembled, and he choked back all the remaining words.

Shen Dongqing seriously defended: "I'm not an idiot, there are footprints here."

The other players were talking there just now. He had nothing to do, took a stick to write and draw on the ground, and accidentally found a trace on the ground.

The woman with glasses hurried over to take a look, and sure enough, there was a trace under the cover of fallen leaves, which seemed to be the trace of someone or a beast walking by.

She raised her head and followed the traces, only to find that she had gone deep into the rainforest, not the way they came, but another direction.

The jacket also stood up: "Go and have a look."

The tattooed man was not too happy.

The girl in the long skirt was so tired that she couldn't get up after sitting down.

Shen Dongqing looked left and right, raised her hand and said, "I'm tired, and very hungry."

Zhou Wenyan held his hand: "Then take a rest."

The jacket was speechless.

In this group of newcomers, there is a tattooed man with brain problems, a long skirt woman with a poor body, and two paddlers. This playground is really too difficult, right?

There was no other way, the jacket and the glasses girl couldn't stand it anymore, so they had to take a rest first.

After this rest, it was evening.

The players picked up some firewood and lit the bonfire, and then simply distilled and filtered the sea water in the lake with the items they carried, and obtained drinkable fresh water.

After being supplemented with water, the players recovered a little.

Shen Dongqing searched around, but did not find any straw on the island.The yin house kitchen card is quite useful, but without a straw to connect the yin and yang, it is tantamount to a waste.

He leaned on Zhou Wenyan's body and said weakly, "I'm so hungry——"

Zhou Wenyan lowered his head and kissed Shen Dongqing's cheek: "I'll go see if there are any fish in the lake."

Shen Dongqing's eyes lit up all of a sudden.

The water of Daoxin Lake is clear and blue, reflecting the sunset above.

Shen Dongqing half bent down, reached out and touched the lake surface, stirring up a ripple.

"No fish." Shen Dongqing turned her head.

Zhou Wenyan kicked off his shoes and took off his shirt, and said, "I'll go down and have a look."

Shen Dongqing: "Can you swim?"

Zhou Wenyan: "Yes."

Shen Dongqing also kicked off her shoes: "Then teach me!"

Zhou Wenyan didn't agree immediately, but tried the depth of Daoxin Lake, and threw a fist-sized stone down, but there was no reaction at all.

"No, it's too deep." Zhou Wenyan said, "I'll teach you when I get back."

Shen Dongqing nodded obediently.

Zhou Wenyan patted his head: "Hey, I'll catch fish for you to eat."

After speaking, he went into the water.

Daoxin Lake is very deep, it is estimated that it is connected to the sea outside, and the inside is full of the smell of sea water.

Zhou Wenyan went downstream for a while, and found that it was dark below, and he couldn't see anything. It was impossible to go deeper without a diving suit. He caught two fish and swam back.

The fish landed first.

The fish out of the water jumped up very powerfully, splashing the sea water.

Shen Dongqing poked the fish and commented: "It looks a bit strange."

Zhou Wenyan stroked his wet hair and said, "It's a fish in the sea."

Shen Dongqing asked a particularly important question: "Can I eat it?"

"can."

Shen Dongqing's gaze at the fish suddenly became kind.

A fish that can be eaten is a good fish.

There is a lot of movement here, and it can't be hidden from other players.

After a day's trek, the players were tired and hungry. Now that there were fish in the lake, and seeing that Zhou Wenyan was not in danger, they all went down to catch the fish.

But the girl in the long skirt can't swim, so she had to watch from above and help clean up the fish she caught.

After catching the fish, the woman in glasses and the jacket went ashore safely, only the man with the tattoo was still dawdling below.Relying on his good water skills, the tattooed man gradually moved away from the shore. He touched it for a while, with a look of surprise on his face: "I caught the big one—"

It's just that before he finished speaking, the startled look on his face distorted and turned into panic: "No, no, save me, save me—"

The tattooed man struggled to get ashore, but he swam halfway, and before he got close to the shore, everyone on the shore saw a black thing around his waist, pulling him with an irresistible force go back.

The tattooed man kept flapping his hands.

It was useless, the abilities of the underwater creatures were not something he could resist, so he could only be slowly pulled into the water. When the top of his head was submerged in the water, a series of bubbles burst out from below, leaving only a trace of blood in the end.

The bloodstains were quickly washed away by the lake water.

There was a dead silence on the shore.

Thinking that they had just brushed shoulders with death, the woman in glasses and the jacket were completely speechless, and that there might be important news from the man with the tattoo, they became even more autistic.

After a while of silence, a "Zilla" sound suddenly came from the side.

Then Shen Dongqing asked: "Is it ready to bake?"

Zhou Wenyan replied: "Soon."

The two were still grilling fish there like nothing happened.

The woman in the long skirt said tremblingly, "Is the person gone?"

Although the tattooed man is quite annoying, but after all, it is a life, and it is quite unacceptable to just disappear in front of him like this.

The woman with glasses pushed her glasses and said indifferently, "Don't go near this lake anymore."

The others were catching fish around the lake without disturbing the monster inside. The tattooed man also committed suicide. When he got to the depths, the monster might wake up now and he could no longer venture into the water.

Although the girl in glasses and the jacket are old players, in this game, in the face of life and death, no matter whether it is a new player or an old player, it is the same.

The game will not be kind to this.

Because a player died, this grilled fish tasted like nothing, the girl in the long skirt couldn't finish it after two bites, and Shen Dongqing was uncharacteristically, not touching much.

The girl with glasses tore off a piece of fish and stuffed it into her mouth. Seeing their appearance, she persuaded: "Life and death are fate, you should eat more, or you will have no energy tomorrow. Other people's lives belong to others, only your own life is yours." my own."

After listening to the persuasion, the girl in the long skirt forced herself to eat another fish.

But Shen Dongqing remained motionless.

Out of kindness, the girl with glasses wanted to say a few more words, but before she could say anything, she heard Shen Dongqing looking at the grilled fish melancholy, and sighed, "It's too unpalatable."

Glasses girl: "Ahem——"

It turned out that it wasn't because of the tattooed man's death that he was sad, but because he simply couldn't eat it. This, this... the woman with glasses was a little out of breath.

The fish was handled hastily without any other seasoning. It was fishy and salty. Shen Dongqing hadn't eaten such an unpalatable thing for a long time, and she didn't even want to move it.

Zhou Wenyan coaxed him patiently, which made him barely eat two bites.

After Shen Dongqing finished eating the fish, she began to complain: "This game is too much!"

The jacket felt the same way, and echoed, "That's right."

Shen Dongqing: "What kind of broken island is this!"

Jacket: "Yes, yes."

Shen Dongqing: "There's nothing delicious, I have to leave this wretched place as soon as possible!"

Jacket: "Yes... ah?"

So the key point is on the food?Did this person take the game seriously?

If You Xi heard what the jacket was thinking, he might cry on the spot.

Not only did Shen Dongqing not pay attention to the game, she even stomped on it countless times under her feet, which made those who heard it sad and those who saw it shed tears.

The jacket silently lowered his head to eat the fish.

It is difficult to move at night without a stable light source. The players simply rested by the lake for the night, planning to follow the traces on the ground the next day.

Since a player had an accident in the lake, it is not sure whether the monsters in Daoxin Lake will come ashore, so they can only take turns to watch the night.

It was finally dawn, and the players woke up just after dawn.

It may be due to too many fallen leaves, but the traces on the ground are still relatively clear. Walking all the way, I found a cave at the end, and there are still some footprints scattered at the entrance of the cave.

Glasses girl: "There are people living here."

As long as there are people on this island, it's okay. If there are people, it means that there are NPCs, who can receive tasks and don't need to wander around like headless chickens.

Zhou Wenyan said abruptly: "It's not life, it's a ceremony."

The woman with glasses turned her head and looked over: "Why?"

Shen Dongqing took the first step and said, "Guess."

Jacket said impatiently: "Don't talk nonsense if you don't know."

Zhou Wenyan didn't explain, and just smiled at Shen Dongqing.

A group of people took turns entering the cave.

There are some wooden tools and simple pottery scattered in the cave.

The girl in the long skirt didn't know what she had bumped into, she let out a scream, and hurriedly backed away.

The jacket has had enough of these newcomers who are only doing a disservice, and snapped: "What are you doing?"

The girl in the long skirt couldn't speak easily: "Yes, yes, yes..."

Jacket: "What?"

He walked over and saw a skull rolling where the woman in the long skirt was standing just now.

The skull is very small and may have been chopped off while still underage.

The jacket squatted down and checked, and found that there was a wooden stick stuck on top of the skull, and there were many skulls on the side, with a hole in the top of the head, as if it had been skewered together to make a skewer.

It really does look like a cult activity.

Shen Dongqing: "It's really boring."

Glasses girl: "Huh?"

Shen Dongqing: "It's a cult again, this game has no creativity at all!"

There are only a few elements to play around, it is either a cult or a cult, and there is no innovation at all.

Fortunately, this game is mandatory to play, otherwise, if it is only voluntary, I am afraid that the server will be shut down in less than three days.

The girl with glasses came to her senses: "Aren't you a novice?"

Shen Dongqing was puzzled: "Do I look good?"

Glasses Girl: ...It really does look like that.

After all, judging from the reactions of these two people in the game, they were either pure rookies or really bosses. The girl with glasses subconsciously thought of the rookies. How could she think that she was a boss?

The voice of the jacket came from the other side: "There are murals here!"

In the depths of the cave, a series of murals are painted on the walls, and in the middle of the cave there is a deep pit, in which there are densely packed corpses.

At first glance, the simple aborigines of the cult performed rituals here.

Shen Dongqing leaned over to look at the murals.

The murals are very simple, similar to comic strips, which means that the IQ of the aborigines here is not very high, but people who can believe in cults usually have low IQ, so there is no problem in logic.

The content of the mural is that a group of stickmen discovered an island, they rowed a raft to the island, found something on the island, and thought they had met a god.

So every once in a while, they will go to the island to perform sacrifices, hoping that the snake god on the island will protect them.At the end of the mural, the aborigines also drew a snake with the head of the black snake forming a circle.

"So those snakes were raised by these aborigines." Jacket analyzed, "And look at the equipment of the aborigines, they live not far from this island, otherwise it would be impossible to travel very far with a raft."

Girl with glasses: "Maybe the game is for us to go to the place where the aborigines live."

The woman in the long skirt said, "But we don't have transportation..."

The jacket said: "Let's go back and see if the yacht can be used, but the two places are not far apart. Going in this direction, we should be able to reach the place where the aborigines live."

The direction is also thoughtfully drawn on the mural, for fear that others will not find it.

The players thought well, but when the group returned to the original route according to the mark, they found that the yacht stranded on the beach had disappeared.
