This is not a weird story

No one expected that drinking water would now be the culprit.

However, if you think about it carefully, although the weirdness is terrifying and powerful, it is not so outrageous that it can kill people on the first floor in an instant by contagious fear.

If it wants to do this, it must make these targets drink water, and then it can target and infect them.

It may be that this fear is more likely to be contagious after drinking water, or there may be something unknown or attractive in the water.

In short, when water was mentioned, the three people all expressed their desire to drink water to varying degrees.

"Fortunately, all the water on this floor has been drunk, and now I can't drink it if I want to." Huang Zhanpeng was thankful and looked around at the same time.

Wei An shook his head, "Not necessarily, not just drinking water, maybe..."

Before they finished speaking, Huang Zhanpeng and Zou Yun both turned to look at the location near the escalator. There were two vending machines, one selling snacks and the other selling drinks.

Not only that, there are also two snack and drink vending machines placed near the rear rest area where Wei An and others are.

"thirsty……"

Huang Zhanpeng's throat moved, and he stared at the drinks machine not far away without blinking, then involuntarily left the team and walked in that direction.

As he walked, he reached into his pockets and trouser pockets, as if he wanted to get some change and put it into the vending machine.

Of course, the change on this guy may not be usable in the vending machine. If it cannot be used, he may have to use violence to take out the drinks and drink them.

The opportunity came for Wei An to show off his hammer skills. Wei An quickly approached the guy and knocked him out with a hammer.

Looking back, she saw Zou Yun swallowing her saliva and looking back towards the drink machine. Wei An asked, "Do I need to knock you out too?"

Zou Yun immediately shook her head, "No, I can still support you."

"What's your mental coefficient?" Wei An asked.

Zou Yun replied: "I am 3.1, Huang Zhanpeng seems to be 2.7, what about you?"

Wei An was stunned for a moment and hesitated: "I, uh, am about the same as you guys."

He couldn't understand why his mental coefficient of 2.4, now controlled by the desire to drink water, was not as strong as Huang Zhanpeng and other people with higher mental coefficients than him?

Is this mental coefficient of 2.4 fake? In fact, I am already 4.2!

But after thinking about it, I think it’s impossible. It’s so difficult to increase my mental coefficient because it’s so powerful that it’s difficult to increase the coefficient to 0.1.

Of course, the reason why I don't have much desire to drink water is because I have a fear totem, which is a type of spiritual totem and is inherently immune to such desires-based attacks.

It's much more likely when you think about it.

"But I don't think you were affected much." Zou Yun was obviously surprised by Wei An's resistance to drinking water.

Because just when Huang Zhanpeng walked towards the drink machine, Zou Yun couldn't help but follow him. However, after taking only two steps, she saw Wei An knocking the guy unconscious to the ground with a hammer. She was startled and her consciousness immediately returned. Come over.

If Wei An didn't take action against Huang Zhanpeng, Zou Yun believed that she would be like Huang Zhanpeng and start to think of ways to take out those drinks.

"Please pay attention to me. If something really goes wrong with me later, you can knock me out again." Zou Yun said.

Wei An shook his head, "Just knocking him unconscious may not be enough, he has to tie his hands."

Then he started looking around for a rope.

There are many clothing stores here. I quickly found several ropes on the packaging boxes, squatted in front of Huang Zhanpeng who fell to the ground, and quickly tied his hands back.

At this moment, the sound of glass being smashed came again from the second floor downstairs.

Wei An looked up at Zou Yun. Zou Yun quickly walked to the glass guardrail on the third floor and looked in the direction of the sound, but because the space was too dark, she saw nothing.

Wei An walked over and said: "Another shop was smashed open. It seems that Zhang Zuxia is really doing something, but isn't he worried about attracting the attention of the invisible weirdo?"

"We have to go down and take a look." Zou Yun said: "Now we have completed the second mission. As long as we stay away from water, there will be no problem. As for the third mission, which is to kill the invisible monster, I am afraid that Zhang Zuxia will come in this time. That's the purpose. I really want to drink water now, but I probably won't be able to finish it, so I'll have to leave it to you."

Wei An nodded, "Why don't you and Huang Zhanpeng find a shop and stay inside for the time being? I'll go to the second floor to meet Zhang Zuxia and stop him from destroying the mall."

Looking at the situation now, if Zhang Zuxia destroyed the glass doors of the shops on the second floor, there is no guarantee that he would not go completely crazy later and take out his "golden cudgel" that exceeds the red level and smash the mall.

If you do this, you will violate the second article of the main mission. Even if you find the source of death but destroy the mall, this will still be counted as a mission failure.

Not long after, Wei An found a U-shaped lock that had just been pried open, but the lock cylinder was not damaged and could be used again.

He locked Zou Yun and Huang Zhanpeng into a children's toy store near the elevator entrance, tied Zou Yun's hands for safety, and then locked the toy store.

Wei An then walked along the escalator to the second floor.

Because he was worried about being discovered by the people downstairs or the invisible monster, he went downstairs quickly without making any noise.

After leaving the escalator, he immediately hid behind the nearest giant pot of plant and looked in the direction where the broken glass had just been heard.

There seemed to be a figure shaking in the dark place, and there was the sound of broken glass being stepped on under the soles of the feet.

But soon Wei An's eyes narrowed and he realized that the person shaking was not one, but two. This was obviously not Zhang Zuxia.

One of the two people shaking was holding a brick in his hand. The brick had patterns on it and was used to decorate the advertising wall on the second floor, but he forcefully pulled out a piece of it.

It seems that he just used this brick to smash the glass door.

This man was waiting at the door with a brick in his hand and did not enter the broken shop, while the other man walked in unsteadily, seeming to be looking for something inside.

Seeing their appearance, Wei An just felt that their movements were stiff and lame.

Seeing the opportunity, Wei An quickly ran to an automatic drink machine, closed the distance and looked over again.

"I didn't expect that Huang Zhanpeng was wrong!" Wei An was surprised.

He discovered that the man standing at the door with the brick in his hand was actually a corpse.

At this moment, this guy still had the same terrifying expression as when he was scared to death. His eyes were bulging and his mouth was wide open. He was standing in front of the smashed shop with this look, his body shaking slightly and still holding the brick in his hand.

Looking at the person who went in to look for it, he was also a corpse, walking unsteadily, with the same expression as the person outside, walking around the shop silently.

Wei An didn't get closer, but just watched quietly. He didn't know why the two corpses came to life and why they smashed the shop.

Are they also looking for the source of death...or black energy?

As soon as this thought came to my mind, I saw the man standing outside the store holding a brick suddenly broke his body, and with a crash, he was torn in half by something.
