Chapter 38 The Ghost King and the Scumbag 03
Cheng Hongyi said that it was "the only way to survive", not a way out, which made Tang Ting a little nervous and a little scared.
He didn't dare to fall behind, although there was nothing but weeds and puddles around, and it seemed that there was no hidden danger, but if he lost a person and fell into this kind of place, it would be a shame every day The ground is dead.
And the fact is just like what Tang Ting was worried about. Although the mountain that Cheng Hongyi was referring to was far away and clearly visible, he couldn't get there even by walking.
After walking for more than two hours, they could barely see the veins of the distant mountains until night fell and the surroundings became pitch black.
But at least I saw hope.
It was getting dark soon, and even the rays of the sun, which was about to set, became dim, and the surroundings seemed to be wrapped in a thick black fog, which made everyone who wanted to take a rest dare not delay Alright, Qi Qi buried his head and walked forward.
By the time they reached the foot of the mountain completely, the surrounding area had already plunged into complete darkness.
Cheng Hongyi's broken electronic watch gave off a faint light, indicating that it was five o'clock in the evening.
Cheng Hongyi didn't stop, he was about to go up the mountain.
"Huh? I still have to go? I can't go anymore, I can't, let's take a break first!"
"Yeah, we're all here at the foot of the mountain, we're safe, let's take a rest first!"
Along the way, Huang Xiaomeng kept crying and screaming that she couldn't walk anymore, was thirsty, and wanted to rest.But Cheng Hongyi, who was walking in the front, acted as if he couldn't hear her, and he had a posture that you can rest if you want, and I will continue to walk.
This time, although the younger brothers who followed Lao Diao also responded to Huang Xiaomeng's call, Cheng Hongyi still went his own way, but explained a little: "We should quickly raise the fire while we can still see a little outline, the grass here is still Wet ones have to go up the mountain."
"Then how do you know that a fire can be made on the mountain? Aren't all the beasts on the mountain? Are you sure there is no problem on the mountain?" Zhao Xiaoguang asked his doubts.
"Whether you want to come or not." Cheng Hongyi's attitude was very casual, as if he didn't want to explain anything to them.
Of course he didn't have to explain to them.
Lao Diao and his group looked at each other, because no one had any experience in living in the wild, and no one dared to make up his mind easily.In the end, I had no choice but to drag my tired body and continue walking up the mountain.
Who made them unlucky to come to this kind of ghost place.
But Lao Diao was careful, he took out the switchblade from his trouser pocket and held it in his hand.
He always felt that Cheng Hongyi was too calm, so calm that he looked a little bit evil.
I really have to guard against it.
Compared with them, Tang Bao is much more relaxed, without so much psychological burden.
Because just halfway through his journey with Cheng Hongyi, 3376 sent him a system task:
[Welcome to the book world of "My Domineering School Grass Husband", and now release the system task——
Goal: Cheng Hongyi.
Height: 185cm.
Identity: unknown.
Background: Unknown.
Task requirements: ① Establish a romantic relationship with the target person ② Achieve HE with the target person.
Mission Difficulty: One Star. 】
And when the task is issued, the buff that can check the favorability of the task target is also activated along the way.
At that time, Tang Ting clearly saw an ethereal and indifferent number on the top of Cheng Hongyi's head: 1.
"Only a little favorability?" Tang Ting asked 3376 in surprise.
Thinking back when he first saw the male lead in the previous world, the male lead was so fierce and still had 13 o'clock...
Of course, Tang Ting didn't dare to ask such a question out loud, he didn't know if he still remembered that such details would attract the attention of the system.
[1 point is indeed a bit low. 】3376 tried to comfort: 【However, the host has only been in this world for half a day, please don't be discouraged. 】
"...Okay." He couldn't really say he was discouraged.
I don't know why doing the task this time is not like before, but from the bottom of his heart, Tang Zhi has never been worried or afraid that he might not be able to complete the task or be obliterated.
His little heart was unusually stable.
When a group of people walked up the mountainside, the trees became dense in vain.
Cheng Hongyi touched the branches and trunks around him and said, "The trees here should be able to light a fire."
Everyone was skeptical, so someone broke a branch and found that the branch was really dry, unlike the wetland below the mountain.
"Great!" Everyone cheered, and they all started to pick up branches and leaves around them, and finally formed a fire.
Fortunately, Lao Diao and the others all smoke, and there are still lighters, so starting a fire is not a problem.
The fire was quickly ignited, and everyone sat on the ground in a circle, which could be regarded as being able to rest for a while.
After walking for a whole afternoon, no one wanted to move after sitting down.
But sitting in the forest in the dark is actually quite intrusive. Everyone subconsciously wanted to find something to talk about, but they didn't know what to say. At this time, the old eagle asked Cheng Hongyi: "How do you know that there are people on the mountain?" Firewood can make a fire?"
"I don't know." Under the firelight, Cheng Hongyi's outline seems to have become more resolute. No one has noticed it before, but now he has to admit that some people have such a temperament. Just sitting next to you will make people feel uncomfortable. feel stable.
Tang Ting looked at him with eyes almost adoring, and then he heard Cheng Hongyi say again: "I guessed it too."
"Tch, what's the big deal." Lao Diao's younger brothers curled their lips. Cheng Hongyi had no expression on the way, and even treated them coldly, as if they insisted on following him.They were all young people with full of vigor, and they didn't really want to believe him when they faced someone younger than themselves.
Cheng Hongyi said: "The terrain here is very strange. Does anyone of you know geography well? Do you know the climate and region here?"
Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, and everyone present counted as one, so they didn't learn well.
Even Tang Ting thought about searching for the original owner's memory for a long time, but he couldn't tell where this place was.
Tang Ting propped his chin with both hands, looked at Cheng Hongyi with curious eyes, and worshiped in his voice: "Do you know where this is?"
Cheng Hongyi shook his head: "I don't know either."
"Tch." Someone yelled.
Cheng Hongyi said: "Didn't you find anything wrong?"
"What's wrong?" Everyone asked.
Cheng Hongyi added a handful of branches to the fire: "There are no animals here except us, not even a flying insect."
"..."
In the silent forest, there was only the crackling of the fire and burning branches. Someone asked tremblingly, "What if we didn't see it..."
"No." Cheng Hongyi shook his head, then stretched out his slender fingers and pointed to his ears: "There is no sound."
"……Yup!"
After another period of silence, someone in the team said fearfully: "If there are insects, at least there will be noises, right? And when we came down below, we saw quite a few puddles. It's normal to have fleas and small flying insects in the water. ! But I read it, no. I was wondering just now..."
"No wonder I think this place is so gloomy. It turns out that there is no sound." Others couldn't help but rubbed their arms with aversion.
"Isn't there radiation or something here?" Someone asked worriedly, "Death rays and the like..."
"What are you thinking about, it's great that the radiation tree can grow so tall!"
"Oh yes..."
Everyone started talking one after another, and no one wanted to stop, because once no one spoke, there would be a suffocating silence around them again.
Tang Bao took this time to ask Cheng Hongyi: "Then you said you want to come to the mountain to see if there are any living things here?"
Cheng Hongyi nodded, "At first I thought this mountain was fake, like a mirage, we couldn't reach it."
Tang Jin: "..."
Everyone: "..."
So the poisonous snakes and beasts that Cheng Hongyi mentioned at the beginning were all fooling them?
Lao Diao and the others immediately became angry, and even two of them rolled up their sleeves as if they were about to pull Cheng Hongyi up, apparently intending to beat him up.
Seeing that the situation was not going well, Tang Bao hurriedly stood in front of Cheng Hongyi and said, "Everyone, don't be impulsive, aren't we getting angry now? It's all thanks to Cheng Hongyi!"
Cheng Hongyi glanced at him, then faced the group of people with a flat expression and said, "Should I always take a look around? I don't know what's on this mountain, but I know that everyone who stays down here will die. On the mountain At least we can find water and food."
When he said this, the two people who stood up looked at each other, and they both felt bored, so they sat down again.
Everyone collapsed on the edge of the fire like a deflated ball.
Cheng Hongyi was right, they hadn't eaten or drank clean water for several hours.
There is no shortage of water on the plains.Just now, everyone was so thirsty that they tried to drink the water in the puddle. Although it didn't look so clean now, it was at least drinkable.
Just food... what are they supposed to eat if there aren't any other creatures here?Eat weeds and bark?
Everyone looked at each other and panicked.
"What the hell kind of place is this!" Someone cried in a broken voice.
Lao Diao looked at Cheng Hongyi vigilantly: "You really don't know where this is?"
Cheng Hongyi added a few branches to the fire, and shook his head silently.
"Then how about... let's go and see if there are any wild fruits to eat." After sitting for a while, Tang Ting suggested.
"I heard that you can't eat wild fruits that you don't know in the wild." Probably because he was used to bullying him, Zhao Xiaoguang was the first to reject Tang Tin's proposal, and his tone was still full of sarcasm: "You don't know? Many are poisonous , and we don't know those things."
"But..." Tang Ting still wanted to speak, but Cheng Hongyi beside him said suddenly:
"You have to look for it first."
Tang Ting's proposal was affirmed.
As soon as he spoke, Zhao Xiaoguang was speechless. After all, if there was no Cheng Hongyi in the team, they would still be staying in the weeds and puddles below. Unknowingly, as long as Cheng Hongyi said something, everyone would seriously think and imagine, including The old eagle is included.
"It's getting dark now, we can't be too scattered, why don't a few people go out to look for it, and a few people stay here and watch the fire." Lao Diao said.
"Okay." Cheng Hongyi nodded, and the final assignment was Tang Zhi, Cheng Hongyi, Lao Diao and one of his younger brothers to find food together, and the rest stayed by the fire to wait.
Tang Ting followed Cheng Hongyi voluntarily, and Lao Diao was worried that Cheng Hongyi wanted to watch him, and the team was formed from this.
But as Cheng Hongyi said before, a few people walked around halfway up the mountain, not to mention the fruit, and they didn't even see the small bugs.
Can only return empty-handed.
Those who waited in place and expected them to bring food back all showed disappointed expressions.
Huang Xiaomeng broke down even more: "What the hell is this place?! I want to go home! Let me go home quickly!"
Let her yell in collapse, there is not even an echo around, as if they were as silent as they came all the way.
"Ring ring ring, ring ring ring..." At this moment, the silence was suddenly broken, and a burst of electronic sound came suddenly, echoing in the mountains and plains.
The electronic sound repeats the sound of "ring ring ring", which is the sound of the oldest landline phone call. It suddenly rings on the mountains where the thumb is out of reach, and it sounds a little weird at first glance.
but……
"It's a phone call! It really is a prank! Or some kind of reality show! I knew it!" Huang Xiaomeng screamed excitedly. Everyone got excited and got up to look for the source of the sound.
But Tang Jin noticed that Cheng Hongyi raised his wrist and glanced at his watch, and his handsome brow frowned.
A bad premonition suddenly appeared in Tang Ting's heart.
Everyone collected firewood and the flames were high, and the device that made this ringing sound was quickly found.
——It is an old-fashioned candy bar phone, very similar to the kind of Nokia that can be bought for 99 yuan, and now even the elderly don’t use the phone style.
It was hidden in the haystack not far from where they started the fire. It was strange that no one saw this mobile phone, which was obviously not a product of nature, when they were picking up branches.
Lao Diao is now holding this mobile phone in his hand, and without further ado, Lao Diao directly presses the green connect button.
The ringing tone of "Ringlingling" suddenly stopped.
Instead, there was a rustling sound like electricity passing through.
"Hello?" Lao Diao tried to speak into the microphone, "Can you hear me? Who are you? Are you there? Is there anyone?"
There was no movement on the other end of the phone, and it seemed that the signal was still connected. Huang Xiaomeng could not wait to shout into the microphone: "Come on! Help! We are trapped here, is there anyone who can take us out..."
The rustling sound continued, but there was still no sound from the other side.
Lao Diao was a little anxious, and asked Cheng Hongyi: "Is there no signal here? Should we..."
"Hello, students from XX school." At this time, a voice suddenly came from the opposite side.It should have been a pleasure to be able to get in touch with the outside world, but when the voice came out, everyone was shocked.
... I don't know if it's because Lao Diao turned on the hands-free or because the broken phone can't pick up the sound. With the quiet atmosphere around, everyone present can clearly hear the sound coming from the phone.
It was hoarse and rough, like iron nails scratching steel, not to mention how harsh the sound was.
But before anyone complained about the sound, the voice of the mobile phone continued: "Welcome to the world of survival games."
"Survival game? What is that?" Lao Diao asked.
The over there didn't want to answer what he meant, and the extremely ugly voice continued: "Now release the first survival information: go to the cabin on the top of the mountain to live temporarily, and polish as much wood as possible according to the specified size. Preparation time: 3 days. Come on everyone."
"What the hell?"
"What is he saying?"
"...We don't want to participate in any games, I just want to know how we can get out!" Everyone shouted into the microphone, but there was no response.
Three seconds later, there was a "click", and the phone was hung up over there.
"Hey, hello!" Everyone shouted anxiously, Lao Diao anxiously checked the calling number, but the phone showed that there was no incoming call.
He tried to call outside again, his family's, his parents', but no matter which number, no matter whether the area code was added or not, the mobile phone would always tell him mechanically: Sorry, the number you dialed is not in the service area.
Others also tried to make a call, but the answer was still the same.
"What's going on here? Is there a signal here or no signal? Surely everyone has turned off their phones or set up a firewall for incoming calls?" Zhao Xiaoguang, who was trying to make various calls, was in a hurry.
"Maybe...we are the ones who are not in the service area." Cheng Hongyi, who had been silent all the time, said suddenly: "Perhaps...we are no longer in the same world as them."
……
"You... can you not scare me..." The girl who was with Huang Xiaomeng was obviously terrified. She felt like being frightened all the way, trembling badly, and becoming less and less talkative.
"I told you face to face, we are in a world called 'Survival Game'."
After Cheng Hongyi said this, everyone realized that the damn voice just said was indeed "survival game world".And "Welcome to the World of Survival" sounds obviously fine. Why did the other party emphasize the word "world"?
"The most reasonable inference is that we were transported to a different space, that's all. This can be explained by many scientific phenomena, and there is nothing terrible." Cheng Hongyi said.
He said that other people really didn't feel so intrusive, Tang Ting asked: "Then what should we do now?"
As soon as the piercing voice sounded, Tang Ting called 3376 in his mind.
I can't blame him for making a fuss, really...why does the story I'm in now feel different from the task 3376 issued to him?
My domineering schoolgirl husband... No matter how you look at it, it looks like a school essay.
The initial scene where he came to this world was also a campus, but now... something seems wrong?
3376 was silent for a while on this question, and then said: [This is a one-star world, except for the basic information of the male protagonist, everything else is unknown, and it is also uncontrollable for the system. The host can explore the world by himself. 】
Very official answer.
So Tang Ting was speechless.
In fact, he should be the most rational person here, and the least afraid of the current situation.
Because for Tang Zhi, he was only here to do the task.Whether the world is good or bad has nothing to do with him.
What's more, he was used to this experience of coming to another world.
The current situation is no different from the feeling of being teleported when he was doing a mission, um, except that the voice that released the mission sounds colder and harsher than 3376...
Of course, when it comes to being calm and rational, there is one person who is not too far behind.
Cheng Hongyi said: "Go to the mountain according to what I said on the phone."
"What if it's a trap?" Lao Diao was the first to jump out to express his doubts.
Cheng Hongyi glanced at him and said bluntly, "If we wanted to set a trap, we would have died long ago."
As he said, he turned around and was about to go up the mountain, and Tang Ting naturally followed.
But this time the old eagle didn't move.
"Speaking of..." Lao Diao took out his switchblade and pointed it at Cheng Hongyi: "Where did this phone come from? Why didn't anyone see it when we went to pick up branches just now?"
"Old Diao, what are you talking about?" Huang Xiaomeng was startled when he saw him take out the knife, and asked incomprehensibly.
The old eagle looked at Lin Moning unkindly: "I suspect that someone threw it into the haystack while we were not paying attention."
