Chapter 101 The Day of Doomsday (Part 4)
The villa area is built on the mountain, and the living environment is quiet, but it is a different story for people who have no means of transportation.
Qiao Yuan walked the first half of the way under the spur of the system, and luckily found a car with the key in the car halfway up the mountain. Although the fuel level was only half full, it was just enough for her to drive to the foot of the mountain.
At the foot of the mountain was the urban area. After the car ran out of gas, Qiao Yuan abandoned the car and walked in.
This urban area was similar to what Qiao Yuan had seen in the real world, with reasonable planning of residential and commercial areas. However, just like the villa area, there were few people on the streets, and many of the glass doors and windows of the shops had been smashed. The shelves inside were either empty or the shops on them had been swept to the ground, with footprints scattered on the ground, and occasionally bloodstains and a few rotten corpses could be seen inside.
Qiao Yuan observed several stores and found that most of the stores that were smashed were supermarkets and pharmacies. She guessed that it was the local residents of this world who smashed them after the apocalypse. She went in and took a look around and found that there was basically nothing left, even the kitchen knives and pots in the kitchenware area and the various seasonings in the seasoning area were gone.
In one of the pharmacies, Qiao Yuan met .
At that time, Song Yanchi was walking out with a bunch of medicine. Compared with Qiao Yuan, he looked much more embarrassed, with multiple scratches on his body, an obvious red mark on his cheek, blue corners of his eyes, and a furrowed brow, obviously very impatient.
But the moment he saw Qiao Yuan, his pupils lit up, and his handsome face instantly glowed with new spirit. The impatience between his brows disappeared, and he happily called out "Sister" and immediately ran towards Qiao Yuan.
But after he got closer and saw Qiao Yuan clearly, an anxious look appeared on his face: "Sister, how did you get hurt? Who hit you?"
After realizing that Song Yanchi in front of him didn't seem to be replaced by the shadow, Qiao Yuan stopped his steps to distance himself. While standing there waiting for the other party to come over, he replied, "Shadow."
"I'm fine, how come you're injured?"
Her injuries were mostly minor abrasions, and some parts had already healed so the wounds were not visible. On the contrary, Song Yanchi's injuries were obviously much more serious than hers. His wrist where he was holding the medicine was swollen, and the back of his hand was also red.
Looking at Song Yanchi's appearance, Qiao Yuan actually already had an answer in her heart, and Song Yanchi's words quickly verified her thoughts.
Song Yanchi: "My shadow hit me."
When mentioning his own shadow, Song Yanchi's brows became more gloomy.
When he woke up, he found himself in a doll shop, and there was a shadow ready to attack him. After hearing the task issued by the system that required catching the shadow, Song Yanchi naturally chose to take action, and soon became one with the shadow.
In a physical sense.
Song Yanchi had learned boxing for more than ten years and participated in some professional competitions, winning championships and runner-ups, so his attacking power should not be underestimated. But when he punched Shadow, and saw Shadow flexibly parrying and punching back, he realized that he had met his match.
It was obvious that his shadow had inherited the fighting ability and was familiar with his moves.
The man and the shadow were fighting back and forth, but unexpectedly, another player suddenly rushed out chasing the shadow, causing him to be distracted and punched in the face by the shadow. Then the shadow seemed to realize that they were evenly matched and quickly left.
Although he didn't end up well either judging by the way his shadow staggered when he left, Song Yanchi couldn't help being angry because the other party was the first one to beat him like this, and it was his own shadow.
Of course, what made him most angry was that Shadow indirectly caused him to face Qiao Yuan in this way.
Even though it wasn't the first time Qiao Yuan saw him in such a mess, Song Yanchi wanted to show up in front of Qiao Yuan in the best spirit. After all, they hadn't seen each other for a few days since their last dinner together. He didn't expect to have a good start right after entering the dungeon.
His face was red.
He originally wanted to wait until he found some bandages and medicine to wrap himself up so that he didn't look so embarrassed before looking for Qiao Yuan, but he didn't expect Qiao Yuan to come to him so soon.
Qiao Yuan divided the medicines that Song Yanchi had looted, treated their respective wounds first, and then continued to move forward.
Song Yanchi also got the chance to hear from Qiao Yuan what the other shadow had done. His first reaction was naturally to be angry for Qiao Yuan, but then he realized that the shadow had learned these things from its master, and he couldn't help but fall into silence.
Qiao Yuan could understand very well that if they didn't catch her shadow, they would most likely remain silent forever.
When the two mentioned Qiao Yuan's shadow again, the system's mechanical voice, which should have no emotions, seemed to sigh: [Look at other people's shadows, they only hurt their own people. ]
Unlike Qiao Yuan's shadow, which hurt the person involved and an infected , and it is unknown how many people and non-human things will be hurt afterwards.
Qiao Yuan rejected PUA and said bluntly: "This is all the fault of your game."
"My shadow is actually just as innocent. It just arrived in this strange place and was very scared, so it did something like this..."
As she spoke, she sighed in her heart, if only Shadow was still by her side. If she said this, maybe she could win some impression points.
The system also joined the ranks of silence.
After finding Song Yanchi, Qiao Yuan's next destination was a place with communication equipment, a bookstore, or a library, or he could find a native resident of this world to ask.
When the doomsday came, Xiaowei had already become an infected person and was trapped in the villa. She only learned some news from the news, but she still didn't know enough about the outside world. Qiao Yuan still had many questions about this world, including the method of turning shadows into people, so he wanted to learn more about this world first.
What's more, according to the experience she had accumulated in previous copies, this method was very likely hidden in the book.
When she searched the villa before, the communication equipment and electronic products she found were either broken or had no power, and she didn't get much information. Therefore, until now, Qiao Yuan only had a superficial understanding of this world.
Although Song Yanchi was in the city as soon as he opened his eyes, he only met shadows and other players, and knew less information than Qiao Yuan. It was from Qiao Yuan that he learned the concepts of humans and infected people.
Song Yanchi had already searched the shops on this street and didn't see any electronic equipment or bookstores. He also didn't encounter any local residents except the players, so the two decided to change to another street to look.
But after searching two streets in a row, not to mention humans, there were not even any infected people, which made Qiao Yuan and Song Yanchi feel confused.
Where did they all go? Did they run away to some other place?
With such doubts, the two continued their search.
Hard work pays off. Although Qiao Yuan and Song Yanchi did not find any specific information, they found a strange corpse in a store.
Judging from the clothes the man was wearing, he should be the store owner. He seemed to have been attacked from behind, so he was lying face down behind the counter, and half of his head seemed to have been chopped off by a sharp weapon.
He must have not been dead for long, so he did not turn into a mummy. There was a large area of decay on the body, and a strong stench came from the rotting area, attracting flies and small insects to fly around.
Qiao Yuan and Song Yanchi were able to notice the corpse behind the counter at first, not only because they smelled a stench, but also because they saw flies flying around.
But what attracted Qiao Yuan and Song Yanchi's attention was his hand——
The other person's fist was clenched tightly, as if he was holding something.
Because the owner had been dead for a long time and his body was completely stiff, it was easy to pry open the pieces. They were also able to see what the other person had been holding, which was a piece of paper that was carefully folded into a palm-sized card. It was obvious that the owner cared about this piece of paper so much that he folded it carefully at the beginning and did not let go until he died.
After unfolding it
The first sentence of the poster is -
When the end of the world comes, only God can save us.
