Chapter 21

Shen Zhenhua looked over without any expression on his face.

A man walked towards Shen Zhenhua. He looked a little careless and looked familiar, as if he had seen him somewhere.

After the man walked up to Shen Zhenhua and made sure he was talking to her, he asked, "Who are you?"

Shen Zhenhua thought about it for a moment and didn't think of it.

The man's face froze, and he gritted his teeth and said, "I am Rui Yang."

As soon as Shen Zhenhua said her name, she remembered one of the people in the temporary safety zone, "It's you."

Seeing that she remembered, Rui Yang's expression finally improved and he mocked, "You have a bad memory."

Shen Zhenhua nodded, "After all, you and I are not familiar with each other, so it's normal to forget."

"..."

"You mean I'm not normal?"

Shen Zhenhua didn't know how his brain was turning, and he was scolding himself.

"No." Shen Zhenhua said calmly.

"..." The atmosphere fell silent, neither party spoke, but Ruiyang stood in front of her and did not intend to leave.

Shen Zhenhua asked.

"Why isn't your friend with you?"

Rui Yang was furious, "You are really saying that I am abnormal!"

"However, Xiao Yan has a gentle personality and good looks. You remember that this is normal."

"Xiao Yan?"

"Talk about Haoyan."

"Oh, I remember." I remember the name, but I can't match the face.

"Are you here for the collection task too?" Rui Yang resumed his carefree appearance.

Shen Zhenhua nodded.

"Then you have to follow me closely. I am the superpower who will protect the collection team this time." Rui Yang almost raised his head to the sky.

Seeing Rui Yang coming, Sister-in-law Liu wanted to come over, but she found Rui Yang chatting with the older girl, so she muttered, "She is pretty and she can recognize anyone."

When Rui Yang heard this, he rolled his eyes at Sister-in-law Liu, "Okay, let's go quickly when the time comes."

Hearing this, Sister-in-law Liu nodded, picked up a basket and stuffed it into Shen Zhehua's hands, "Everyone is here, we can set off."

The meeting point was not far from the dividing line, and soon the group of them arrived near the dividing line.

The safe area is covered by a transparent mask.

The thick fog was blocked by the safety cover, and it was so white that it was difficult to see what was outside. She touched the edge of the mushroom pot, looked down, and felt completely safe.

Rui Yang noticed her movements, "Why did you bring such a big mushroom out? For lunch?"

Shen Zhenhua nodded, not intending to tell the truth.

This mushroom is particularly precious in the "Nightmare World". It is the only one she has found in the past two years. It can mutate into a three-striped mushroom. With it, you can walk freely in the thick fog without being eroded by the thick fog itself. .

"Eating so much in one meal?!" Rui Yang was shocked.

"Yes." Shen Zhenhua followed his words and continued.

Rui Yang was speechless and looked at Shen Zhenhua strangely.

The group of them quickly crossed the dividing line and came into the thick fog.

Because they knew the news in advance, they didn't feel too surprised and took out the flashlights they carried.

Shen Zhenhua also took out the lantern. The range of the lantern's illumination was not as far as the flashlight, but fortunately the range was large. It could be seen from a distance of three meters in front and back, but it was a bit blurry at a distance.

Sister-in-law Liu had a map. She looked at it and said, "I went there yesterday. There are still half of the mines there that have not been collected. We will try to collect them today so that we can go back."

"Sister-in-law Liu, how long will it take for us to walk there?"

"It only took half an hour, it was very fast, but the location was relatively secret, so our collection team missed it."

After getting the answer she wanted, the person returned to the team. The others didn't say anything and just kept following her. As a result, they walked for more than an hour and still didn't reach the destination.

A dim yellow beam shone in front, illuminating the surroundings with the light of a group of twenty-eight people. The tree with its crooked neck and hanging leaves just reached their heads.

Because it was so dark and oppressive in the thick fog, the leaves hanging down above the head were still dripping with dew, which was particularly scary.

The advantage was that there were so many of them, so they were not afraid of walking in this silent forest.

"Sister-in-law Liu, the fog is so thick, you won't get lost." Some impatient people said it directly.

Sister-in-law Liu was also a little anxious. She patted the map in her hand and said, "How could you get lost? It's impossible for me to get lost even if you get lost. I still have a map in my hand, not to mention that I was here yesterday."

Rui Yang watched the conflicts in the team with cold eyes and did not stop them.

Shen Zhenhua listened silently, not intending to interrupt.

"Hey, do you think there will be monsters in this thick fog? Did you see the post yesterday? It said that monsters may not necessarily appear at eight o'clock."

"When I saw it, I jumped like a clown. If I go by what the poster said, I didn't light the lamp or light the fire after seven o'clock. How come no monsters came to attack me." The man sneered.

"But there is a problem? Doesn't the system say that we are safe in the safe zone? Why do monsters still appear?"

"Who knows, anyway, just light up the lamp at night. It's much better than meeting mutant beasts outside."

"I went to ask customer service early this morning, and guess what, the information I got was still eight o'clock."

Another person next to him said: "Let me tell you, the poster is a little worried and thinks about things in horror."

Shen Zhenhua knew which post they were talking about without having to think about it. As the person who posted the post, she listened to the people nearby chatting without any disturbance in her heart.

She has already said that it doesn't matter whether she believes it or not.

Continue to follow Sister-in-law Liu forward, and soon, Sister-in-law Liu stops.

Sister-in-law Liu bent down to check. She clapped her hands in surprise, "Okay, we've arrived."

Sister-in-law Liu pulled off the leaves from the mine beans and showed them to everyone, "If the leaves are round, yellow in color and dotted, they are basically mine beans."

"Be careful not to dig up the mines." Sister-in-law Liu finished explaining the precautions.

"Okay!" Everyone finally arrived at the place, happily.

Shen Zhenhua observed the surrounding environment. It was very dry. There were no dewdrops on the leaves emerging from the mine beans.

She took this discovery in her eyes.

Shen Zhenhua found a wooden stick nearby to dig. She didn't attach the power to the stick this time. The soil near Mine Doudou was as hard as a rock. She dug for a long time before digging a little bit.

Rui Yang was idle, standing aside and watching leisurely, "Is it so difficult?"

He looked at the others. They were similar to Shen Zhuhua. There were only a few people digging mines and beans, as if there was no resistance. It couldn't be easier.

Rui Yang observed for a moment, and a hint of understanding flashed in his eyes.

"Would you like me to help you?" Rui Yang said.

Zhengchou didn't know how to secretly use Shen Hua's superpower, so he stood up immediately and handed him the wooden stick in his hand, "Thank you."

She thought for a while and added, "Rui Yang."

Shen Zhenhua, at least now, doesn't want to expose her supernatural powers.

Looking at Shen Zhenhua who was so happy, Rui Yang twitched the corner of his mouth, took the wooden stick, helped to attach a layer of water energy, and then threw it into her hand.

"If you run out of energy, come find me."

Shen Zhenhua nodded casually, squatted down with a wooden stick and started digging for mine beans.

When others saw Rui Yang energizing the stick, they all became interested.

Chapter 22

One of the gentle women, holding a wooden stick in her hand, stepped forward shyly, "Brother, I don't have any powers, can you help me add a layer of energy?"

"Do I know you? I'll attach it to you." Rui Yang was weird.

"Brother, please, don't we know each other now?" The gentle woman saw that among the men with supernatural powers around her, only Rui Yang was the most handsome.

"Do you know what my name is?" Rui Yang pointed to himself.

When the gentle woman heard this, she shook her head, "Brother, do you want to tell me your name?"

Rui Yang also shook his head, "No, I mean, you don't even know my name, how dare you say that we know each other now."

"But I'm not familiar with you either." The gentle woman had been paying attention to Rui Yang and the two before, and pointed at Shen Hua not far away, "At first, she didn't even recognize you."

Besides being beautiful, what else does she have?

Shen Zhenhua, who was digging for mine beans and secretly eating melons, decided to eat them openly and immediately turned around, looking up at them from time to time while digging.

Rui Yang waved his hand, "You don't understand. Do you know who she is?"

"I don't know." The gentle woman wondered, could this be some kind of famous person?

"I don't know either, but she knows my Xiaoyan, and knowing Xiaoyan means she knows me." Rui Yang put his hands in his pockets.

Gentle woman: "..."

Someone next to me couldn't stand it anymore and stepped forward, intending to criticize this guy who didn't know how to show mercy.

As a result, the system prompt sounded at this moment.

[The task of entering the safe zone has ended. For players who have not joined the official safe zone, the system will begin to transfer players who have not joined the official safe zone after one minute. 】

[Players who have not joined the official safe zone will be transferred to the Immortal Dock. Players who pass the test of the Immortal Dock will re-login to the 2068 planet. 】

[The novice protection period has ended. The system will be updated continuously in three hours. The update is expected to take one hour. The update content is as follows [click to view]]

When Shen Zhenhua saw the system update content appeared, he immediately put down the wooden stick in his hand and clicked on the bracelet to check. There was only one line of words.

[System update completed. ]

"..." Sure enough, the evil intentions of the system are everywhere.

Shen Zhenhua took out the bracelet, and as soon as she exited, she saw Ruiyang standing on a high place looking at her.

"...?"

Shen Zhenhua ignored him and raised her wrist to light up her bracelet, which showed the display.

October 26, 10:01 in the morning, the weather was densely foggy, the season: heavy rain season.

The three words after the season are displayed.

Each season lasts for a different time, each seasonal change is random, and the mutant beasts and plants that appear in each season are different.

It may be related to their living conditions.

As for other updates, Shen Zhenhua planned to wait until she went back in the evening to check them.

She held the wooden stick in her hand again and dug the soil quickly. She squatted down and the mushroom pot just fit on the ground without being a burden.

At Shen Zhuhua's speed, landmines appeared in sight one after another.

I don't know how long it took, but Shen Zhenhua asked Rui Yang to possess water energy several times during the process, and then she dug out a basket of mine beans.

"Ah! What's going on! There's a hole in my hand!"

A sharp female voice sounded, which stung Shen Hua's ears until her eyes turned white. She squatted on the ground, covered her ears, and after a while, she raised her head and looked at where the female voice was screaming.

A large group of people had gathered there, and Rui Yang, as the safety officer of the collection team, was among them.

"Oh my god, how come her hands are so rotten? Did you touch something you shouldn't touch? Why are you the only one who has rotten flesh?"

A faint cry came, with a slightly crazy tone, "How do I know? I'm digging for mines here! I didn't touch anything!"

"My hands! Hands are a woman's second face!"

"Woooooo!"

"What should I do? What should I do? If this hand is rotten, then I won't be able to dig mines. How can I live? I will die if I don't have a source of points. If you fall... you will die!!!"

"Then it's useless for you to cry here. Why not go to the mall and see if there is anything to cure the disease."

"That's right."

The wind blew through the woods, the leaves rustled, the miserable cries, and the thick fog that kept spreading, made the surrounding environment terrifying.

"Sister-in-law Liu, let's see if she has dug out the mines." Rui Yang said coldly from the side.

"good."

When the woman with the ulcerated arm heard this, she didn't know how to react.

Soon, Sister-in-law Liu came back after counting.

Sister-in-law Liu said on the side, "She, the mine Doudou, has already dug it."

"There are still some mines around that have not been dug out."

Rui Yang nodded. He glanced at the people around him and said, "Raise your hand after digging."

People around him raised their hands, and Shen Zhenhua also raised his hand. More than half of the 26 people had collected mine beans.

When the gentle woman heard this, she wanted to raise her hand, but found a stinging pain on her arm. She quietly opened her clothes and took a look, her eyes widened.

There was also a festering wound on her arm, but it was not deep.

Seeing this scene, the gentle woman bit her lower lip, covered the injury on her arm, and raised her other arm.

"Me! Me! I have one too!" The stuttering man rolled up his sleeves and pointed at the festering wound.

Everyone was shocked, and those standing near the stuttering man quietly moved away.

When the stuttering man saw this, his eyes turned red, "I, I, I'm not sick! I'm just hurt!"

"Yeah, yeah, we know you're not sick."

"Yes, yes, you are not sick, you just stutter."

"Uncle! I have mysophobia, please stay away from me, okay?"

When the stuttering man saw this scene, he didn't know what happened. He stood aside with red eyes and felt aggrieved.

Shen Zhenhua leaned against the tree and watched quietly. From her position, she could almost catch everyone's movements.

Especially the gentle woman's small movements, all of which were seen by Shen Zhenhua without even touching the ground.

She didn't bother to reveal it. It wasn't an infectious disease. It was just a lack of moisture due to being in the thick fog for a long time. She could apply medicine when she got back and not go out into the thick fog for a short period of time.

Rui Yang also pulled up his sleeve to check. His arm was smooth. Not to mention the wounds, not even a single hair could be seen.

"Everyone will vote by a show of hands. If you want to follow me back to the safe zone, please stand on my right side. If you don't want to leave and want to continue to complete the collection task, just continue collecting."

"Then those who stay are not protected by superpowers?"

"Yes, yes, and if we just go back like this, do we still have points?"

Rui Yang: "I'm afraid of death. I want to go back. It's impossible to risk my life to accompany you to complete the mission."

"As for whether there are points, I don't know. I'm not the leader of the safe zone."

"But you accepted the mission to protect us and just left like this. Can you get points!"

Some people were not injured and the collection task was not completed, so they wanted to take a chance and continue to collect mine beans.

"It's also stated in the mission details that you have to listen to my arrangements, except for unreasonable ones. If you don't listen now, it's none of my business if you die." Rui Yang said the matter was serious.

Others still wanted to speak, when a violent vibration came from the ground.

The others were caught off guard, unable to stand firm, and fell to the ground one after another.

Chapter 23

Shen Zhenhua was leaning against the tree. As soon as the vibration occurred, she held on to the tree trunk to stand firm and did not fall to the ground.

There was no stable place to stand, and everyone was thrown to pieces. All kinds of flashlights rolled on the ground, and the dim light beams shot out in random directions.

Even the baskets of mine beans next to them were knocked over. The round mine beans rolled out of the baskets, and instantly the ground was covered with mine beans.

"Help!"

"What's going on! Is it an earthquake?"

"Why is there an earthquake? Is it caused by the system?"

"Ah ah ah, help, whose flashlight hit my eyes, it hurts! Can you move it away?!"

"Dug trench, who shot you? Look at who among us has a flashlight in his hand."

Shen Zhenhua listened and looked down at the lantern held firmly in her hand.

"Quick! Get the flashlight! If there is no flashlight later, I'll see if any of you can go back!"

"My mine, Doudou! Don't leave me! I finally found you!"

I don't know how long it took, but the shaking on the ground finally stopped. Except for Shen Zhenhua, who had the foresight, everyone else was lying on the ground, and some people were even holding a horse.

There were heavy gasping sounds all around, and a few flashlights were still working vaguely.

Someone grabbed the flashlight, stood aside, held it tightly, and carefully looked at the people nearby. He took a few steps back. He suddenly screamed in pain and crawled and rolled on the ground.

The blood wet his clothes and was still dripping down like rain. As he kept rolling, the blood soaked into the soil.

Others who were trying to pick up the flashlight stopped, and even those who had already picked up the flashlight quickly threw it out, for fear that they might accidentally bleed like this man.

Shen Zhenhua gradually became serious from the state of watching the show. She stared at the man who was still tumbling.

The exposed skin of the tumbling man was wrinkled together, and he looked dozens of years older.

Dense fog, blood flowing, will grow old.

It's an indefinite tree!

Electric potion material, a growing tree with no fixed branches! It is also the growing tree of Senluopi.

The bark of the Wuding tree is peeled off, and the small branches of the trunk are the Wuding branches.

Judging from the speed at which the man was bleeding, he was a big guy.

"No...it couldn't have been infected by the two people just now..." Someone spoke cautiously.

This sentence is like opening a layer cake.

"Do they have infectious diseases? Will we also get infectious diseases when we are around them? I don't want to die. My whole family is still waiting for me to go back!"

"I should have known I wouldn't be here for any collection mission! Woohoo, I want to go home! I want my mother!!"

"Infectious diseases, they have infectious diseases! Catch them! We can't let them go back. If they go back, the whole
