Non-Human Seeking Re-employment

Plague City.

When I hear this name, I think of a gloomy, messy, run-down city full of corpses, and there are still zombies gnawing flesh and blood hidden in the corners.

But now this plague city is sunny and bright, and it can smell a fragrance.

There are small houses erected in the city, painted in various bright colors, and small animals are running around in the city.There are many kinds of animals living here, such as rabbits, cats, leopards, deer... It seems that the creator has put all the animals together regardless of their living habits, just like a zoo.

It is also strange that even with so many animals, there is still no sound at all.

This plague city is very quiet, too quiet.

But now is not the time to inquire.

A group of people followed the orange cat and walked into an empty house.

The house was unpainted, dusty, and seemed out of place with the colorful surroundings.

The orange cat completed the task and left here without looking back.

Someone wanted to catch the cat and ask, but the orange cat was huge but quick-moving, so it got out of the window and disappeared without a trace.

Nine people stood in the lobby on the first floor, and some of them couldn't help cursing "Game" if they were irritable.

Anyway, this also gives a clue, okay?

Wu Jia picked up the registration form on the table in the lobby on the first floor: "Should I fill in this?"

All of a sudden, everyone's eyes were on him.

A large piece of the registration form Wu Jia held was blank, with only one name written on it.

It seems inaccurate to say that it is a name, but if you look carefully, many names have been crossed out and turned translucent, and there are only three black characters "Lu Xiaozhen". Looking at the registration form, she lives in room 204.

Wu Jia guessed: "Could it be the player from the previous round?"

There are so many players, only one person is left alive.

Someone suddenly said "ah", pointed to a crossed-out name and said, "I know this person, I haven't seen him for a long time, so it was folded in this copy."

That being said, no one dared to sign it.

The nine people were divided into several small groups, looking at the registration form vigilantly while talking in low voices.

They are all old players, and they are more vigilant than new players who are bluffing.

After discussing for a while, someone decided to sign it, and someone decided to wait and see.

Shen Dongqing held a backpack and asked, "Sign it?"

Zhou Wenyan did not hesitate: "Sign."

After a while, the two names appeared in the same grid.

Zhou Wenyan's handwriting was a bit wanton, the last stroke was drawn long, Shen Dongqing didn't know how to use a pen, so she became more serious when writing, and the name she wrote was round, like a primary school student.

But the two names together are unexpectedly harmonious.

Seeing that the boss had signed, Wu Jia also signed his name below.

In a short while, several names were added to the registration form.

The building has a total of three floors, the first floor is the hall and kitchen, and there are six rooms on the second and third floors.

Lu Xiaozhen, suspected to be a player from the previous round, occupied one room, and the remaining five rooms were allocated to nine people.

Shen Dongqing and Zhou Wenyan lived in the same room, while Wu Jia drew lots to a strange boy.

Pushing open the door, you can smell a fragrance coming out of it, which is exactly the same as the fragrance on the street.

Like floral fragrance.

When I saw it, there was indeed a bouquet of flowers on the table, but I couldn't tell what kind, they were pink and white, swaying with the wind, quite cute.

As soon as Shen Dongqing entered, she dropped her backpack and threw herself on the bed.

"So soft and—"

He hugged the soft pillow and rolled over.

Shen Dongqing was already tired from the car ride all the way just now, and now she was stuck in the soft bed, not even willing to move.

Zhou Wenyan said indulgently: "Then you take a rest first, don't worry."

If others heard what he said, maybe they would slowly put out a question mark.

In such a dangerous place, why are you still saying that you are not in a hurry?

Shen Dongqing nodded, lying on the bed and fiddling with his mobile phone.It's a pity that there is no internet in this plague city, and there is no place to charge it, so he can only plug his phone back.

Zhou Wenyan walked around the room and picked up a piece of paper that had drifted to the corner.

Turn it over and see that it is a newspaper.

Zhou Wenyan blew the dust on it.

This newspaper is a bit old, the edges are yellowed, most of the fonts are blurred, and only lines of bold headlines can be seen.

"Recently, urban residents have sudden illnesses, and the supply of hospital beds is in short supply", "Star Fortune Teller: Divination for your fortune, peach blossoms, and future, please go to No. 244 Qiming Road for details", "Black Cat Brings Disaster?Nonsense!Please believe in science", "The cathedral is open to residents every Sunday"...

Zhou Wenyan read it several times, but couldn't get any effective information, so he could only temporarily put away the newspaper.

At this moment, a miserable scream suddenly came from upstairs.

is a fellow player.

Shen Dongqing woke up immediately.

Zhou Wenyan said: "I'll go and see, you..."

Shen Dongqing immediately jumped up and acted very positively, raising her hand and saying, "I'm going too!"

By the time the two of them went upstairs to where the sound came from, other players had already crowded into the corridor.

Wu Jia came relatively quickly, and had already watched the scene of the crime, leaning against the wall with a pale face.Seeing Zhou Wenyan, he said in a weak voice: "I suggest you don't watch..."

The crowd dispersed.

Zhou Wenyan ignored Wu Jia's advice and walked over to have a look.

A dead body lay on the floor of the room.

No, it can't be said to be a corpse anymore, the whole person is bloody and bloody, with most of the white bones exposed and the internal organs scattered all over the place, the original appearance cannot be seen clearly.

When this happened, the deceased's roommate was terrified.

Even so, some people kept asking the deceased's roommate to ask questions, for fear of committing the same taboo as the deceased.

"What did you do when you came in?"

"Did you meet something?"

The roommate of the deceased was also confused.

According to what he said, after the room was divided, he went upstairs without doing any unnecessary things.As a result, he went to the toilet and heard the screams of the dead through the door.He hid in the toilet and didn't dare to come out. He waited for other people to come before he dared to come out to have a look.

Zhou Wenyan said abruptly, "He didn't register."

According to the dress of the deceased, it happened to be among the group of people whose names were not registered.

Having said that, others also remembered.

Seeing the tragic state of the deceased, those who did not register panicked and ran down to register their names.

All of a sudden, the people in the corridor dispersed, leaving only a mutilated corpse.

Shen Dongqing came over to take a look.

Zhou Wenyan subconsciously pulled the person over, for fear that he would be afraid if he saw it.

Shen Dongqing was not afraid, he even analyzed the corpse: "It should be bitten by a wild animal."

Zhou Wenyan: "Beast?"

Most of the players died at the hands of ghosts, with strange shapes and various shapes.

Therefore, no one questioned the death of the deceased.

Shen Dongqing said, "It might be a wild dog. Look at his wound."

Zhou Wenyan looked at the place he pointed, as if he had been bitten by a wild animal to leave such scars.

Dingo...

Wu Jia muttered, "Where did the beast come from here?"

Zhou Wenyan subconsciously thought of those small animals outside.

Meow--

A black cat leaped lightly from the window sill outside the window.

All players gathered in the lobby.

Some people were busy registering, for fear that they would turn into corpses if they were one step behind, and some people lowered their heads and talked about what to do.

"I think I should go and see the player who survived the last round and ask her what she knows."

"But she didn't come down."

"Let's go up and see."

A group of people left with a clatter.

Wu Jia moved his chair and came to Zhou Wenyan's side: "Boss, I think what they said makes sense."

Zhou Wenyan glanced at him: "Huh?"

Wu Jia said: "Maybe Lu Xiaozhen knows some information."

Zhou Wenyan said lazily, "No need."

Wu Jia wondered, "Why?"

Zhou Wenyan: "Because too many people have gone, I don't want to do the same thing as others."

Wu Jia: ...

"Then what are you going to do?"

Zhou Wenyan stood up, putting his hands in his pockets: "Ask the players what they can know? It's better to ask the NPC directly."

Wu Jia tentatively said, "Boss, do you understand cat language? When did you learn a new foreign language?"

The guide here is an orange cat, and besides it, he can't think of any other NPCs.

Shen Dongqing's eyes also brightened: "Really? Can you speak cat language?"

Zhou Wenyan looked down at Shen Dongqing, and said slowly: "Meow——"

The meowing sound is very cute, but it doesn't suit Zhou Wenyan.

He is not like a cat, but like a lazy leopard, which can bite the throat of the enemy if he gets serious.

Shen Dongqing tilted her head: "Meow? What are you talking about?"

Zhou Wenyan laughed: "I'm talking about 'stupid'." He rubbed Shen Dongqing's head, "Isn't there an NPC outside?"

That being said, I remembered.

There is also a little girl registered at the gate of the city.

The place where I live is not far from the gate of the city, separated by several yellow and green houses.

The gate of the city was open when I came here, but now it is closed tightly, as if I can only enter but not exit.

Just happened to meet the little girl closing the stall, she walked quickly with her head down.

Zhou Wenyan gave Wu Jia a look: "You go."

Wu Jia asked, "Why me again?"

Zhou Wenyan: "Men and women are different."

Very good, the reason is very strong, which makes Wu Jia unable to refuse.

He could only roll up his sleeves and step forward.

Zhou Wenyan also warned: "Don't be too rude, be friendly."

He still understands the principle of courtesy first and soldiers later.

Wu Jia was right when he thought about it, he suppressed a friendly smile, and stopped in front of the little girl.

Suddenly there was another person in front of her, the little girl was taken aback, she glanced at Wu Jia, turned her head and ran away.

Wu Jia was stunned for a moment: "Am I so scary? I'm still smiling!" He turned his head and signaled with a smile.

Shen Dongqing nodded: "Scary."

Zhou Wenyan commented: "You are not kind enough."

Wu Jia: "Come on, please demonstrate."

Zhou Wenyan didn't talk nonsense, he ran a run-up for a certain distance, took a long leg, jumped onto the balcony of a small house, stepped over in two or three steps, turned over and landed in front of the little girl.

The action is neat and handsome.

"Don't be afraid." Zhou Wenyan smiled kindly.

The little girl stood where she was, and when she looked back, there were two people blocking her way, both of whom had "kind" smiles on their faces.

Wu Jia emphasized: "We are not bad people."

Shen Dongqing nodded in agreement: "Yeah."

little girl:  …

I saw her body shaking, rolled her eyes, and fainted on the ground.

Zhou Wenyan touched his chin: "Are we too kind?"
