I made myself the protagonist

The aroma emitted by the protective substance seemed to have some kind of soothing effect. Although Ling Yun was worried, he couldn't resist the sleepiness that swept over him like a tide within less than a minute of staring at the ceiling. He closed his eyes and fell asleep quickly. past.

That night, Ling Yun didn't sleep very deeply. In the darkness, he always felt like something was watching him.

In my sleep, I vaguely felt a strong wind blowing outside in the middle of the night, and the bells set near the trap outside the warehouse were ringing. The chimney made a distant mournful cry in the strong wind, and the mountain wind howled miserably mixed with snowflakes, stirring up the atmosphere. The whole forest was in panic.

The uneasy feeling lasted for a long time before disappearing. Amidst the roar of the mountain wind and the rough gravel, there seemed to be a miserable sound mixed with the farm in the distance, like the roar of wild beasts and the cry for help of humans.

The sound didn't last long, and after just a few minutes, it was completely drowned in the sound of wind and snow.

The next morning, it was completely white outside the window.

After a peaceful night, everyone also got enough rest. Shen Tinglan's spirit was obviously much better than yesterday. Although his body was a little weak, he no longer had a fever.

Zhao Sicheng and Xiaolong opened the warehouse door and immediately let out a exclamation: all the railings outside the farm had been violently destroyed, and huge beast footprints were densely distributed around the warehouse, especially near Mrs. Caroline's farmhouse.

It seemed that while they were sleeping soundly last night, the monster was wandering outside the warehouse, waiting for opportunities to find its target.

"Hey, this thing couldn't stand by the window and peek at us all night."

Zhao Sicheng stepped on the footprints sunk in the snow with the soles of his feet, compared them, and said, "With such a big foot, could it be a snow monster?"

"It's similar to the traces we found in the woods yesterday. It seems to be the monster that Mrs. Caroline mentioned." Wei Chongming looked at it carefully.

What surprised everyone was that there were no indentations in the snow near the window edge, and the surrounding walls were intact. When someone was found in the warehouse, the monster did not attack.

Just as Ling Yun was thinking, an intermittent quarrel came from a distance.

Everyone walked in that direction, and they saw two figures walking out of the farmer's house a hundred meters away, pushing and shoving.

They were arguing fiercely. One of them turned his back, as if to say something, but was suddenly pushed from behind by another person. Then, the two of them struggled into a ball, and both fell to the snow.

Shen Tinglan and others heard the sound and approached, and found that the two men fighting were wearing the uniforms of the forest survey team.

"If we keep going, we will be finished sooner or later! It's all your fault and Ning Jingxian's fault. If it weren't for your instigation, we wouldn't have participated in this game!!! Go to hell, go to hell..." Zhao Kai's eyes turned red, He pinched the neck of the person under him viciously. He was about to throw a punch, but the other person kneed him in the stomach and kicked him aside.

The man was very strong, and he immediately turned his back and pinned him down in the snow, clamping his neck with a pair of big hands. The opponent's thumb and index finger pinched the side of Zhao Kai's neck and exerted a slight force. Zhao Kai, who had been running wild just now, suddenly became quiet. .

"Relax... let go..." Zhao Kai's voice became weaker and weaker, and his entire face turned as red as pig liver and turned pale.

At this moment, he felt that his whole body was spinning, his breathing became increasingly difficult, and his vision became pitch black.

Hearing the sound of fighting, a middle-aged man rushed out of the house.

Seeing the scene in front of him, he walked forward tremblingly, his knees softened and he knelt beside the man, choking and saying: "Brother Tong, just show your respect! Li Yun is gone, we... we can't lose it anymore

Companion!!!"

At this moment, Zhao Kai had no strength left, and his struggle became weaker and weaker. He could only make some weak humming sounds from his nasal cavity.

The man on top of him, Mo Yue, looked indifferent and unmoved. It wasn't until he heard footsteps behind him that the man stopped and stood up from Zhao Kai.

Gu Leng

"What he pinched was the person's carotid artery. If he didn't use too much force, he could pinch someone to death."

Hubert lowered his voice and said to Ling Yun and the others beside him: "That man is a practicing master. His attacks are ruthless and accurate. He is not a fuel-saving lamp."

Ling Yun nodded and had some thoughts in his mind.

The middle-aged man hurriedly helped his companion, and he was relieved when he saw that the other party was still breathing and had only fainted temporarily. He raised his head and saw how Ling Yun and his party were dressed. His face showed disbelief at first, and then

ecstasy.

The middle-aged man stood up excitedly and wanted to say something, but he seemed to have other questions on his mind. His joyful expression was instantly replaced by hesitation and fear. He subconsciously took a few steps back and took out a weapon from his bag.

"Don't be afraid, we have no ill intentions." Shen Tinglan raised his hands and took the lead in identifying himself, then turned his attention to the young man from before.

The young man has short hair, a strong build, and a shallow scar on his forehead.

He has a pair of narrow, three-white eyes with pitch-black pupils. When he looks at people with raised eyebrows, he has a chilling look, which makes him look particularly inhumane.

"Let me introduce myself, my name is Shen Tinglan, and these are my companions."

Shen Tinglan took a blood-stained backpack from Su Li and asked: "We picked this up in the woods yesterday. I think it has something to do with the monster Mrs. Caroline mentioned. Can you tell me who you are?

,What happened yesterday?”

"Tong Bi." Unlike his companions behind him, the man's reaction to seeing them was quite calm.

He brushed off the snowflakes on his body and glanced at Ling Yun and others one by one.

Seeing that all ten players in Shen Tinglan's team were intact, Tong Bi knew clearly that he was meeting a team of extremely experienced senior players this time.

"This is Pan Quande's bag!" The middle-aged man gasped and instantly recognized the owner of the backpack. However, he did not know the details of Shen Tinglan and others, so he always hesitated to step forward.

Shen Tinglan struck while the iron was hot and continued to add: "We encountered a human-faced tree on the way to the village, and found the bodies of three other players from the tree, two women and one man. These people should also be yours.

Companion?"

As if remembering something, the middle-aged man's face turned green and white. He pursed his lips and raised his eyes to look at Tong Bi quietly.

The latter nodded calmly: "Yes. As you can see, our team entered the game rashly without a senior leader, and now it has suffered heavy casualties. Last night, a member of the team also died of injuries.

Now, only me and three other people are left in this team."

"My name is Yu Yueyang, and his name is Zhao Kai." The middle-aged man pointed at the young man who was still lying in the snow and had not yet awakened, and smiled awkwardly.

Tong Bi didn't take this seriously. He told Shen Tinglan that there was another female member in the house named Che Huili.

Because the person who died last night was her boyfriend, the girl was greatly shocked and she still stayed in the room and did not come out.

"May I ask, are you the captain of this team?" Ling Yun walked out.

Everyone heard what Zhao Kai said just now very clearly. The reason why the other party was angry at Tong Bi was most likely because he was the organizer of this game.

Surprisingly, Tong Bi shook his head and denied this.

He told everyone that the real captain was Ning Jingxian. However, he disappeared when he went into the woods to investigate the situation on the evening of the first day, and his life and death are still unknown to this day.
