Salted Fish Zombie - Chapter 5.2

The car entered the village before he could discern what he saw properly. The speed of the car slowed down a lot, but it only took a second or two to pass the slaughterhouse gate.

In a corner room diagonally opposite the main entrance, the windows were closed, and the common drop-down doors in shops were closed, making the room semi-dark.

During those one or two seconds, Ning Su could see something crawling to the door. The light from its eyes was staring at him in the dimness.

The brightness of those two eyes was not the same. One was darker, and the other was lighter.

Even though Ning Su’s eyesight was better than ordinary people’s, he was not sure if it was a child.

If it’s a child, it’s definitely over three years old. Why were they not walking, but crawling on the floor?

And the two eyes were obviously different from normal.

After listening to Ning Su’s words, Zhu Shuangshuang rubbed the goosebumps on her arms because of her rich imagination, and then thought of the feeling of being out of breath when she passed the slaughterhouse. Her mood plummeted.

This was the only dark place they found in Huaiyang Village.

Su Xiangsheng asked, “Why did you only mention such an important discovery just now?”

Ning Su seriously wondered, “You didn’t ask me before?”

“…”

Okay, he got it.

You have to poke this guy first before he squeaks.

Su Xiangsheng pressed his temple and said, “It’s basically certain that the slaughterhouse is abnormal, so let’s find a time to check it out.”

“Okay.” Zhu Shuangshuang said.

Audiences often complain about the protagonists of horror movies, who have the curiosity to die, and open a certain door knowing the danger.

Zhu Shuangshuang, as a screenwriter, often complained about these comments. If the character would not die, how would they see the horror story that would follow?

Her complaints were limited to movies and TV dramas. If that happened to her one day, she would have run away at first sight of a ghost.

Unexpectedly, that “one day” really came.

She would do something that could lead to her death, but if she didn’t do it, she might also die.

As soon as they finished talking, the other players came one after another.

This village was tiny, and the villagers were all relatives. A family’s marriage was a big event in the village. After players entered the village, they were all led here by the villagers.

Before seeing the church, the two teams briefly exchanged clues.

Chen Qing said: “Shuangshuang was right at the beginning, this village really doesn’t look like that kind of supernatural village.”

“I downloaded a copy of a supernatural village before. The small village was backward and poor, and the whole village looked gray and depressing. There, the bride wore a red wedding gown.”

“This village is sunny and comfortable, and the bride also wears white gauze to the church when she gets married. Is it because we made a mistake in deducing that this dungeon is not the type of ghostly mountain village with Chinese horror?”

Su Xiangsheng didn’t tell them about the slaughterhouse for the time being. “Not necessarily. Let’s take a look at things more deeply first.”

Ning Su actually took the initiative once: “Let’s go, it’s time to enter the church.”

After entering the gate, Ning Su went straight to the people in the yard who were handing out wedding candies, and they understood why he was suddenly being so proactive.

The candy was almost gone.

“…”

Ning Su took the candy and visibly felt much better.

Six candies per person, Su Xiangsheng put his own six candies in Ning Su’s pocket.

Zhu Shuangshuang also put it in, and the pocket was full.

Ning Su’s dazed face showed a look of surprise, as if it was a big deal for them to give him candy.

“Eat it, I don’t like sugar.” Zhu Shuangshuang said.

“Thank you.” Ning Su was satisfied.

He peeled a candy and put it in his mouth, chewed the candy twice, and swallowed it.

“…” Su Xiangsheng had a toothache when he heard it, “Your teeth are great.”

Chen Tian next to him squeezed the hard fruit candy in his hand and looked at Ning Su thoughtfully.

The others didn’t think much, and under the guidance of the villagers, they sat down in the church.

The players were on guard; they were brought in specifically for the wedding, and there’s a good chance that something was going to happen.

To their surprise, the church service ended quickly and peacefully.

What was even more surprising was that the villagers explained that the wedding would continue tomorrow and asked them to stay in the village for one night and attend tomorrow.

“It’s strange. Why is the wedding divided into two days?” Zhu Shuangshuang said.

Su Xiangsheng said: “Indeed, this wedding is not normal, something might happen tomorrow.”

During the wedding banquet, the two discussed the wedding, and they hadn’t heard Ning Su speak out for a long time. They turned their heads and saw that Ning Su gnawed earnestly at the fourth pig knuckles he’s eating.

“…”

They almost believed that it was because he was exhausted.

After the wedding, the enthusiastic villagers allocated rooms to them.

The other players were all serious, nervously waiting for the assignment of NPCs. The daytime was too peaceful. Something should happen at night, where they were assigned was very important.

Ning Su stepped forward, walked up to the villager, and patted him on the shoulder. “Brother, can I live in that house full of lily flowers?”

Zhu Shuangshuang: “…”

When he entered the game, he even had his eyes on the house.
