With the help of Spades’ whip, Bai Liu and the others passed through the fog smoothly without encountering any monsters.
But after they passed through, the scene they saw was completely different from before. The rainforest, which was originally full of towering trees, was filled with gray fog. A large area of trees was burning, and the air was full of ashes from the burning flames. The sky was so dark that it could only let out faint light, making it impossible to distinguish between day and night.
A strong, pungent odor of exploding gunpowder immediately hit them, and the bitterness of carbon could be tasted the moment they opened their mouths.
Tang Erda choked and coughed twice, covering his mouth and nose then said: “What happened in this war world during the hour that we were out?”
“The flow of time in the world of war is different from that outside.” Bai Liu looked around. “The timeline here fast-forwards to the end of the Great War after we left.”
Liu Jiayi waved her hand at the tip of her nose and looked up at Bai Liu: “——Is it the point where everyone died after the explosion that Elena was talking about?”
“Generally speaking, at this point, an excellent horror game will design some very exciting climax plots.” Bai Liu looked at the mist-filled rainforest, “For example, a large-scale chase battle.”
Tang Erda was startled: “Why is there a chase? Isn’t everyone dead at this point and about to enter the next seven-day reincarnation?”
Liu Jiayi took out the poison from her waist, took two steps back cautiously, and narrowed her eyes slightly: “It is precisely because these people are dead that this is the most dangerous place before entering the next seven-day reincarnation.”
Bai Liu looked directly at the rainforest where something seemed to be emerging: “Because this means that except for us players, this war dungeon map is full of monsters and the living dead.”Tang Erda also became alert. He paused before drawing out his gun, and subconsciously glanced back at Spades, who was totally silent next to him.
Spades looked at Tang Erda silently, his hand on the handle of the whip behind his waist, his fingers seemed a little eager to move, as if he still wanted to stop Tang Erda from drawing the gun.
Tang Erda: “…”
As if aware of the silent confrontation behind him, Bai Liu turned around and glanced at Spades lightly.
Spades stiffened inexplicably, then silently turned the whip handle towards Tang Erda.
Tang Erda breathed a sigh of relief, then he dared to take out his gun, and pointed it at the gray mist rainforest that was shaking constantly, as if something was about to appear.
But the rainforest only trembled, and nothing emerged, only the crackling of burning leaves and branches could be heard.
Just as Tang Erda looked at Bai Liu in confusion, Spades, who was by Bai Liu’s side, suddenly pulled out a whip and smashed it into the ground, causing the ground to burst open.
Along the lines that opened on the ground, the soil splashed to both sides. Not only soil, but also a few fingers were thrown out. Tang Erda looked at the lines from where Spades’ whip had smashed, his expression stiffened.
Buried in the ripples beneath the ground were countless pieces of corpses that seemed to have been blasted and torn apart, white with blood and gunpowder stains, shattered limbs, half heads, hands with exposed wrist bones, writhing waists, with all with their severed mouths aimed at Bai Liu and the others as if they were eyes.
These fragments that could not be pieced together into humanoid limbs were densely squirming in the soil, as if they had smelled prey and were hiding in the ground as they approached.
Countless charred hands suddenly drilled out of the mud under Bai Liu’s feet, grabbed his ankle and dragged it down. Tang Erda did not hesitate to shoot at the limbs and opened a big hole in the center of the palm accurately.
But it didn’t help, these things were still twisting and tugging.
“The attack is ineffective.” Bai Liu, who was caught, analyzed calmly, “These broken limbs are already in the state of the living dead. If you can’t kill them, you have to find their weaknesses.”
Spades swung his whip over and circled the living dead’s hand, trying to pull it off Bai Liu’s feet. He only pulled it once and then quickly stopped and slowly raised his head to look at Bai Liu.
Bai Liu looked back at him calmly: “It can’t be torn off.”
Liu Jiayi suddenly lowered her head and looked at Bai Liu’s ankle. She squatted down and wanted to take a closer look, but Bai Liu stopped her.
Bai Liu lowered his eyes and looked at the fragmented limbs on his feet: “These things have grown with me and cannot be torn off.”
“Grown together?!” Tang Erda lowered his head in shock.
The green and black fingers on Bai Liu’s ankle pinched into the ankle, half of the knuckles were sunk in, and the skin was perfectly bonded together, like a hand that suddenly grew out of Bai Liu’s ankle. At the same time, half of the knuckles at the end of Bai Liu’s left hand fingers also turned blue-black.
“This monster’s attack method is called [Fusion of Life and Death]. As long as the corpse touches the player, it will become a part of the player’s body.” Bai Liu raised his head, “When I am attacked by all the corpses of a person’s body parts, the corpse pieces will completely merge into my body, turning me into a living dead.”
As soon as he finished speaking, the hand on Bai Liu’s foot disappeared, and his entire left hand turned blue-black, hanging motionless by his side.
The corpses kept getting closer, but they all seemed to have a target and jumped over other people to rush straight towards Bai Liu.
Tang Erda struck several corpses and blew them away. Liu Jiayi used poison to draw a circle. Spades whipped out a clean area in the circle. He looked straight at Bai Liu: “What did you do? Why are these corpses only attacking you?”
Bai Liu shrugged his shoulders and said, “Maybe it’s because I’m the player with the lowest evaluation in the comprehensive panel here? Do they think I’m easy to bully?
Spades retorted almost without thinking: “You lied.”
“Don’t worry about what Bai Liu did for the moment!” Liu Jiayi interrupted Spades’ questioning, “These things can’t be killed. If we stay here, we will be completely transformed into corpses. Don’t let Bai Liu touch the ground. Put Bai Liu on your back and leave first!”
As soon as Liu Jiayi finished speaking, Tang Erda and Spades, who were standing on the left and right of Bai Liu, almost simultaneously made a move to grab Bai Liu, who was standing in the middle.
Both of them were a full head taller than Bai Liu. They grabbed Bai Liu’s shoulders and lifted them up at the same time. There was only one result——
——Bai Liu’s feet lifted off the ground, and he was lifted into the air like a primary school student. His feet were still swinging left and right in the air twice.
Spades: “You are so short, Bai Liu.”
Liu Jiayi: “!!!”
Tang Erda: “!!!”
It’s over, Bai Liu will definitely be angry!
Bai Liu slowly raised his head and smiled at Spades: “Really?”
On the way to escape, Tang Erda lowered his head and covered his mouth, not daring to look up at all. He looked left and right, cleaning up the nearby corpses on the ground. Liu Jiayi took a deep breath, suppressed the upturned corner of her mouth, turned her face away professionally, and used poison to disperse them as the body parts followed.
Liu Jiayi approached Tang Erda and whispered, “Did you take pictures?”
Tang Erda hesitated: “It’s not too good…”
Liu Jiayi rolled her eyes: “Don’t you think it’s funny?”
Tang Erda tried his best to be serious: “Fortunately, I have received strict training and will not easily laugh at my team’s tacticians…”
Spades took the lead and smashed the ground with his whip to clean up the corpses in front of him.
Bai Liu had straddled Spades’ shoulders, while Spades carried Bai Liu forward staggeringly.
“Am I still short now?” Bai Liu asked Spades slowly.
Spades paused: “No, you are very tall.”
——It is really too childish to increase one’s height by riding on other people’s shoulders, especially if it is done by Bai Liu, who is smiling but does not express his emotions.
This was too funny!
Tang Erda, who was behind him, finally couldn’t hold back his laughter.
Liu Jiayi said speechlessly: “Unless you really can’t help it, right?”
Spades who was in front quickly swept away the nearby corpses. After a while, he asked Bai Liu: “Are you angry because you are not tall?”
Bai Liu was quiet for a second and said lukewarmly: “No, I won’t care about such a trivial matter.”
Spades took a deep breath, then he swung out his whip and wrapped it around the trunk of a big tree nearby, and pulled it up suddenly. Both Spades and Bai Liu on his shoulders were pulled upwards by the whip.
He lightly stepped on the tree trunk, and using his strength, he shot out his whip and wrapped it around the trunk of another taller tree. At the same time, with a clear vision, he knocked off several corpses that fell from the shaking trunk.
After several back and forths, Spades smoothly jumped to the top of the tallest tree in the rainforest, which was enough to overlook the entire rain forest.
Bai Liu shook his head and then stabilized his sitting position on Spades.
Spades’ chest rose slightly, and his voice was serious: “Now you are the tallest person in the world.”
Bai Liu’s expression moved slightly, and just when he was about to speak, he heard Spades continue to say calmly: “——We can use this external thing to make up for our innate shortcomings. Bai Liu, don’t be angry with yourself for your physical shortcomings. ”
“It’s not your fault that you are so short.” Spades said every word.
Bai Liu: “…”
Bai Liu slowly exhaled a long breath and recited a few words quickly in a low voice.
Spades seemed to understand: “Bai Liu, what are you talking about?”
Bai Liu said calmly: “I am reading an ancient limerick that has been passed down to this day.”
Spades: “What kind of limerick is it?”
Bai Liu smiled: “[Don’t be angry.]”
Spades slowly said: “? Why are you reciting this?”
“Because it can repair my mental decline caused by emotional ups and downs.” Bai Liu said.
Spades nodded.
He understood that this was a spiritual bleaching poem, and he would learn it if he had the opportunity in the future.
But the top priority right now was something else.
Spades had carried Bai Liu here, on one hand to soothe the emotional damage Bai Liu had caused to himself due to his short height (…), and on the other hand, to see what changes had taken place in the entire rainforest map.
The originally dark green rainforest scene had turned gray and black. There were huge craters everywhere on the ground. The ground was constantly being arched into cracks. Broken limbs were constantly crawling out of the cracks, approaching the big tree where Bai Liu was. Looking down, it was dense and dark, like a bunch of ants looking for nests and food.
The closer he got to the town, the source of the explosion, the more broken the limbs Bai Liu saw. The closer he got to the lake, the more complete the corpses he saw.
And these complete corpses gathered in a place on the opposite side of the lake, seemingly cheering and jumping around something, their limbs and heads swaying crazily as if they were about to be thrown off in the next second.
Bai Liu squinted his eyes. He found a telescope from the props and looked through it. He adjusted the focus and finally saw clearly what was surrounded by the corpses.
A pieced-together sculpture of an evil god, five wooden stakes, and five people being tied to the wooden stakes.
The pile of black things stacked under the five people tied to the stakes looked like firewood, but Bai Liu looked carefully for a while and found that the pile was moving.
Bai Liu looked at it intently for a while, and finally determined that the pile of things was not firewood at all, but broken arms and calves that had been blown up to the point that they were dry as firewood.
These charcoal-black, dry limbs were piled like wood under five wooden stakes. A bucket of red paint was placed next to each stake. There were also six “wood fire” stacks – piles of broken limbs – placed around the five wooden piles.
These broken limbs were constantly moving and struggling, trying to climb onto the people on the wooden piles, but they were stomped down again and again by the dancing corpses, and each time they stepped on them, red paint fell on these broken limbs.
——This was obviously a weird human sacrifice ceremony in progress.
Bai Liu further adjusted the focus, trying to see clearly who the five people tied to the stakes to worship the evil god were, and then he raised his eyebrows subtly.
“Spades, I see four of your teammates being tied up by monsters.”
Spades nodded without any reaction, indicating that he understood, and then asked: “I saw five wooden stakes. Who is the other one tied up?”
“It’s someone we couldn’t even imagine.” Bai Liu smiled, “It’s Alex.”
