Chapter 189 Green Plants at the Resort Center
【External parking lot of the resort center】
“How did you get hurt like this? Is Sister Eye’s eyes okay? We still have to rely on you to find the real body later.”
Hua Yuan’s sudden concern made the three sisters on the bench stare at each other.
In the past,
This would inevitably be a mockery, and Xia had even thought of various sarcastic lines for Hua Yuan in advance.
But the Hua Yuan in front of him seemed like a different person. There was no sarcasm in his words or expressions, as if he really cared.
Xia looked at her missing arms and responded:
“No…it’s okay, everyone just has some minor injuries.
As long as I can find any living person, I can graft his arm onto me. As for Ah Yan, the injury to her eye had been treated by Isabella in time, and she would be fully recovered after a while.
We came back along the coastline and encountered some troublesome [offspring] in the dock area.
A being that will infect anyone it touches with a large number of parasites. These parasites are immune to Ayan’s pupil technique, Isabella’s aging, and my virus.
We can only kill it with the most primitive means.”
Hua Yuan also took a step back and leaned against Luo Di, with his head gently resting on his shoulder.
“It seems the situation is the same. After Mr. Di and I came out of the cave, we also encountered some troublesome creatures in the forest. They were even immune to my invasion.
If it weren’t for Mr. Di, I would have died there.”
“You…will die?”
Although Xia felt that the parasitic floating corpse was difficult to deal with, it was not enough to kill them. What kind of terrifying existence could force Hua Yuan into a desperate situation?
“Yes, and after we killed the monster, we got a ride permit and a reward? You should have it too, right?”
Hua Yuan showed off the fishbone stick she had obtained, which might be able to effectively kill those [Offspring] who were immune to the corner ability in the next exploration.
Xia shook her head and said, “We didn’t get any physical rewards, just a permit to ride the bus and some drinks.
It’s just that the drinks looked very suspicious, so we didn’t drink them. So it seems that the descendants you met are more troublesome.
Speaking of which, Hua Yuan, you can’t handle it, so how can Mr. Di…?”
Seeing Xia’s doubts, Hua Yuan quickly put his hand on Rody’s shoulder.
“Mr. Di is amazing.”
Hua Yuan did not directly reveal Rody’s identity as the “Connector”, but glanced at Isabella meaningfully.
Then, she briefly described the conversation between the two of them and the monster incarnation in the cave, as well as the situation of the [Searching Game].
There are 15 hours left.
“No more nonsense. Now that we are at the resort, let’s search the place carefully.”
“Let’s go.”
Almost all the lights in the resort center were kept on, forming a sharp contrast with the dark cave and the forest of the dead with only a few starlight.
It felt a little too bright, much brighter than the normal resort area in the past few days.
Some places that shouldn’t be shining seem to be shining with a strange luster.
Rody looked up unconsciously at the sky and found the source of such brightness.
The stars in the sky are not only shining, but also actively emitting colors.
He then lowered his head again and looked at his body, especially the exposed skin. It seemed that he could really see the strange colors flowing on the surface of his skin at a certain angle.
Thinking in my heart:
“The color of the stars is a calamity… If you go out at night, you will be affected. This thing is really hard to guard against. There is a reason why “Wanted” can give such a high reward.
Since Hua Yuan already knows my identity, there is no need to hide it. After all, I am an [outsider] and there is a high possibility that I will be targeted.
The disaster may not affect the four sisters for the time being, but it may penetrate into my body at any time. 』
Roddy made a decision and took out a pack of ultra-thin and disguised vacuum compression bags from the interlayer of his backpack.
Take it apart and put it on.
A black coat made of special material covers the whole body.
The sleeves fit Rody’s wrists and had black gloves growing out of them, and the same went for the trouser legs.
“Investigator Costume – Protective Mode”
However, the hood of the clothes is not enough, and Rody seems to need to make more protective modifications to the head.
Put your left hand on your face.
Squeak, squeak, squeak~
Iron wires spread, sulfur breathed.
A sophisticated hard object has been put on Rody’s head.
However, because Rody was wearing a hood and walking at the front of the team, the sisters were not aware of the changes in his facial features.
However, this sudden release of heat also made the sisters alert.
Xia even bared her fangs in response, showing her zombie nature. Even without arms, she wanted to come up and bite Rody.
Of course, Xia was the only one who showed a strong hostile reaction at the scene.
“Investigator!?” Just as Xia responded, a hand held her down firmly.
Hua Yuan put his finger between his lips, “Shh, keep your voice down. It will be troublesome if you attract bad things from the resort later.
Mr. Di is not only an investigator, but also a connector.
This is why we were able to come out of the forest alive.
I have figured out Mr. Di’s stance. He wants to kill the hidden things between the islands just like us, so there is no need to be nervous. This may be our winning trump card.”
Since Hua Yuan had said this, Xia naturally let down her guard, but there was still one thing she couldn’t understand, “How is it possible? How on earth could he have kept it secret from Grandma and Xiaoyan? Could it be that…”
Xia glanced at her younger sister, whose silence said it all.
at this time,
Hua Yuan’s fingers aggressively inserted into Xia’s wound-ridden skull, moving back and forth on the surface of the pale zombie brain.
“alright!
Don’t let irrelevant issues occupy your limited brain. We only have one goal right now, and that is to survive and get to the corner, no matter what happens.
Right, Mr. Dee?”
Following Hua Yuan’s call, Rody, who was walking in front, turned his head, revealing the jaw-splitting device on his head and the red breath exhaled from his mouth under the shining light.
Even Hua Yuan, who knew Luo Di’s identity, was shocked by this image, and then he held his face in his hands and was obsessed.
At this time,
Isabella suddenly stepped forward, walked side by side with Rody, and took the initiative to hold his hand.
Although Hua Yuan looked very uncomfortable, he did not step forward to cause trouble.
“Tsk~ You’re the only one who has a partner, right? The same goes for Shia and I.”
Hua Yuan subconsciously tried to hold Xia’s hand, but found that he couldn’t reach anything. Then he remembered that the other person didn’t have hands at all.
that’s it.
Two people in front and three people behind walked into the resort along the avenue.
Just as I was about to cross the arched iron frame with the “Resort” sign hanging on it, a man suddenly approached from the side at the intersection in front of me.
A man in a suit and tie, wearing a manager badge, and with a tattoo of the Mercury Group on the back of his hand.
The steps are graceful and the body is straight.
You can tell at first glance that this person has put a lot of effort into etiquette training.
It’s just that his image is a little strange.
Above the collar of the white shirt and black suit is the neck, but above the neck is not his head, but a potted cedar.
Luo Di had seen such potted plants in the lobby when he arrived at the hotel on the first day.
Since there is a bonsai growing on the neck.
Instead, the manager held a large flower pot in his hand, which was just big enough to fit his head inside. His facial features were obscured by the flower pot, with only his slicked-back hair style with shiny hair oil left exposed.
The sound also came from between the flower pots:
“Welcome to the resort! I’m the temporary person in charge here, Mr. Xuesong.
Please allow me to reintroduce to you the rectification situation and relevant rules here.
Please listen carefully, otherwise your life may be in danger.
The resort is currently divided into five major areas:
[Beach area], [commercial area], [amusement park area], [haunted house area] and the most core and closed [hotel area]
To qualify to stay at the hotel, you need a “pass”.
Please draw lots here, one lot for each person, and follow the instructions on the lot to go to the above four areas. You can get your personal pass by participating in the activities in the corresponding area.
Since there are five of you, one of you will draw a blank.
Those with empty visas can choose to follow one person to the corresponding area.
Remember that you can only go to the [area] corresponding to the lottery. After getting the pass, you need to go directly to the hotel. It is forbidden to go to other people’s areas, otherwise terrible things will happen.
Also, the [Monster Incarnation] you have been looking for is deep inside the hotel, so please do your best.”
Everyone was shocked. They didn’t expect such important information to be given directly. If the target was in the hotel, the search area would be greatly reduced.
Hua Yuan took the initiative to ask, “What if we don’t follow these rules and go directly to the hotel?”
The manager held the head in his hands and explained calmly:
“The countdown begins the moment you step into the resort.
Any violation will speed up the timer and accelerate the fall of your head. Once it falls off, please find a flower pot like mine to store it in time, otherwise you will die directly.
As long as you enter the hotel successfully, this state will disappear on its own.”
As the manager explained, everyone felt a discomfort in their neck.
without exception,
A fresh branch of plant grew around everyone’s neck.
Once grown, their heads are replaced by plants and they become like their managers.
