"Wow, Gao, I always thought this village was empty."

"Um."

"I didn't expect there are people living here. It's amazing."

"..."

"Have you noticed? The expressions of these people are so strange. It's like they can't see me."

"I saw."

"Have you ever encountered such a mission before..."

This foreign girl talks a lot, like a chatterbox.

In the opened courtyard, figures kept coming out.

His face was expressionless and his body was stiff.

But fortunately, he is a living person with the breath of life in his body.

'As long as it's not a monster...'

Gawain muttered in his heart.

It's like these people can't see them, the survivors.

After walking out of the house, I walked around in a chaotic manner on the street.

It's not without rules.

Although it is very messy.

But those with mops will sweep the road, and those with steamers will set up stalls on the street.

More people with nothing to do.

Then he walked along the street towards Yizhuang in the center of the village.

what are they doing?

"Hey, Gao, should we go say hello to them?"

Yelena, who discovered that this group of people had no intention of attacking, put down her cross sword and turned around to ask Gawain.

"They'll probably ignore you."

"Walter?"

"Do you know scenario-based games? They are like NPC backgrounds in the game. If you talk to them, they will only answer you in a fixed question and answer mode."

The scene before him reminded Gawain of some bad memories.

In the first seven days when he came to the metropolis, the NPCs he met were all the same as the group of people in front of him. They were just minding their own business and there was no possibility of communication at all.

"Walter?" Yelena's eyes widened.

He glanced at the group of people who had gradually gathered outside Yizhuang, and then looked back at Gao Wen.

She scratched her golden curls in annoyance.

"Is this another ghost mission? I don't like it."

"Huh? Have you met him before?" Gawain raised his head.

"Yes, I mean besides those first few days, I encountered it once, no, twice."

"Please say two, thank you."

"rabbit?"

"two!"

"Doesn't liang mean cold? Gao, now is not the time to make such a joke!"

Yelena looked serious.

Gawain: "..."

While the two were chatting away for a short while, the group of people who gathered outside Yizhuang had already knocked on the door of Yizhuang.

There was a squeak.

The portal opens.

A Taoist boy who looked about ten years old and wore a yellow Taoist robe walked out from behind the door.

"Master said, fast today, please go back."

The little Taotong said expressionlessly.

Then.

With a bang, the door was closed again.

The courtyard gate was closed, and the crowd gathered outside Yizhuang became violent.

A mechanical conversation began.

"Fasting? Why!"

"Call your master out!"

"Don't hide in there and keep silent, little bastard. The reason why so many monsters are attracted to the village is because of your master!"

"Call him out!"

"Yes! Call him out!!!"

They seemed agitated during the conversation, but their bodies did not move at all, they just stood there motionless.

The numb face did not produce any emotion.

The scene is very strange.

It's like some unknown existence is borrowing the bodies of these NPCs to complete the conversation.

This weird scene is enough to make some people feel uncomfortable.

Fortunately, survivors have more or less encountered similar scenarios.

Most newcomers have encountered similar situations in the seven days before entering the metropolis.

In pretty good condition.

the other side.

Zhou Lei and Zeng Shucheng, who were out investigating, walked out from the other two directions of Shizi intersection.

Gawain nodded towards them.

The two nodded in response.

He didn't say anything, and he didn't come over to join him.

Two of them followed the crowd.

In other words, the crowd gathered around Yizhuang was not just in the southwest direction, but everyone in the entire Yizhuang Village gathered here.

It was not a big intersection, but there were more than a hundred people standing there.

Old people, children, young people.

Crowded.

This group of NPCs gathered at the gate of Yizhuang for about half an hour.

Then at the same time, communication strangely stopped.

Turn around silently and go back in the direction you came from.

Because of the angle.

Gawain and others could just see their faces at this moment.

Most look ordinary.

Only a few of them occasionally had white things in their nostrils... crawling in and out.

"It seems... it's maggots..."

"hiss...."

Some newcomers wanted to scream, but the people around them covered their mouths.

Three of the women's legs were trembling.

Sporadic vomiting sounds sounded behind Gawain.

The contrast is too strong!

These NPCs are different from the NPCs they have seen in the metropolis before!

The NPCs they encountered in the metropolis before were living people and zombies.
