Weird Deep-sea Game, I Can Fish Without Limit - Chapter 80
Chapter 80 Deep in the Cemetery
*: “Comrades, it’s the last day of the first cycle.”
*: “Yeah, my mission is complete, hahaha.”
*: “I lay flat…”
*: “Actually, I really miss my original home. It would be great if I could go back.”
*: “Who says no.”
Because it was the last day of the first cycle of the game, the chat channel became lively.
The players chatted about their missions, and they also speculated about what would happen next.
Of course, the most talked about is the choice of camp.
After 15 days of living in another world, the players still prefer the lawful camp.
But this is also limited to the speaking player.
The sun is gradually sinking to the west, and in the blue-purple sky, a bright moon is dimly shadowed.
Li Feng was wandering aimlessly in the deserted streets outside Fengxi City.
Now people from all the districts of Wind’s Rest are flocking to the inner city.
Because tonight, Governor Penrose Fell will host a grand celebration dinner with the people.
It is said that this is the proposal of the Chief Political Officer, and in terms of funds, the wealthy Chief Political Officer also contributed a lot.
He didn’t do it because of generosity, of course, he did it for Jory Fair.
Because Jolly Fell killed the little boy who was descended by demons, and the mouse disappeared inexplicably afterwards, the Chief Political Officer packaged Jory as a hero who repelled the demons and saved the people.
The suggestion to hold a celebration banquet is also to strengthen Jory’s heroic image among the people.
But his intentions are far from civilians.
When a governor decides to throw a feast for one of his heirs, it doesn’t mean eating and drinking together.
This is a signal to the king above and to county officials below. His heir is very likely to become his heir.
Especially under the premise that Governor Fell has not yet determined an heir.
That’s why supporting Jory’s chief participation in politics will greatly promote this matter.
As for the governor, he was already satisfied with his son. Now that someone is willing to pay, he is of course willing to do so.
The night is gradually falling, and the inner city has been decorated with lights.
And it is said that at 12 midnight tonight, there will be a grand fireworks display.
But Li Feng is really not interested in these.
The flint has not been fused yet, the devil has left a lot of doubts, and Faraniel needs to continue to investigate. On the deserted street, Li Feng, who is walking alone, is thinking about these.
“Meow.”
Under the dim night, a black cat suddenly appeared at the end of the path.
Seeing it, Li Feng paused for a moment, and then walked over quickly. He really wanted to talk to Shia now, and ask her if she knew about Wood County.
“Meow.”
The black cat also came towards Li Feng, but Li Feng felt that something was wrong with it.
Its movements are extremely stiff and crooked, completely devoid of the feline appearance.
And at the same time, Li Feng smelled a smell, which was the same smell as after the first mate died.
Suddenly stopped, Li Feng pressed his hand on the flint.
Sure enough, in the wobbly figure of the black cat, Li Feng saw that one side of its body was covered with hideous and terrifying mouse heads.
This cat is not Shia, but it is not an ordinary cat either. It has been mutated by demons.
Seeing this, Li Feng drew out his gun and shot at the black cat without saying a word.
“Boom!”
The bullet hit the black cat’s vitals, and the black cat fell to the ground and did not move.
Li Feng walked up cautiously, wanting to check.
But when he was five or six steps away from the black cat, the black cat suddenly moved by itself.
“Ka Ka Ka.”
Following the black cat’s body convulsing and the strange sound of bones, the dead black cat stood up again.
But suddenly the “resurrected” black cat didn’t continue to attack Li Feng, it turned around and ran straight back as if it had been summoned by something.
Seeing the pool of blood left by the black cat on the ground, and its extremely uncoordinated but extremely fast figure, something exploded in Li Feng’s memory.
Could it be a zombie?
How is it possible in this world?
Without thinking about it, Li Feng continued to search on the quiet and deserted streets.
The entrance of the sewer, the dark narrow alley, he didn’t find any mutated creatures, but similarly, he didn’t find any creatures either.
For a long time, the sanitation in the outer city has been poor. Rats, wild cats, and wild dogs can be seen everywhere.
They are an important part of the densely populated outer city and the streets of the docklands.
But now, as the officials of Storm’s End said, the mutated rats have all disappeared, but the normal rats have also disappeared, the wild cats have disappeared, and the wild dogs have also disappeared.
It’s as clean as Governor’s Drive in the inner city.
However, how can sewers with completely different drainage volumes and sanitation work create exactly the same clean streets?
But it is what it is.
Bad thoughts appeared in Li Feng’s mind, and he immediately released a golden dandelion to send a message to the kestrel.
Recalling the black cat that came back from the dead, its subsequent actions seemed to be summoned by someone.
If someone summoned it, it was most likely a demon.
After delivering the news to Kestrel, Li Feng followed the direction where the black cat left to investigate.
Still an abnormally clean street.
Li Feng would occasionally meet a few people rushing to the inner city, where a grand banquet was being held, a rare float parade, and a free dinner given out by Storm’s End.
Checked another sewer inlet, and Li Feng found some small footprints with mud.
The footprints looked like those of a mouse, and they were pointing towards the west of the city.
Following the footprints, Li Feng continued to walk westward. He didn’t go fast because he wasn’t sure what was ahead, so he could only investigate while waiting for the support of Baifeng Manor.
As the road went west, the road became more and more desolate, and there were fewer and fewer houses on both sides. Before he knew it, he had come to the cemetery of Wind’s Rest.
Although the land in this world is dominated by islands, the land area is not rich.
But even so, the governments of the islands still clearly stipulate in laws that the local dead must be buried in the ground and sea burials are not allowed.
Because no matter in history or in folklore, there have been some cases where the dead were thrown into the sea, and then transformed into monsters by the unknown in the sea.
So, under the promulgation of this law, each city on the island will be divided into a separate area as the cemetery for the residents of the city.
In order to avoid weird things from happening, every once in a while, the cemetery will be visited by extraordinary people who belong to the city government and the ring of the earth.
Looking at the cemetery in front of him, Li Feng remembered that he had been there, because the first officer was buried in this cemetery.
Stopped, Li Feng stopped moving forward, and took out another golden dandelion to deliver a message to Kestrel.
There was a wind blowing, carrying golden dandelions on a long journey in the air, and at the same time sending an unpleasant stench.
Like the stench of the black cat after the death of the first mate.
Being vigilant, Li Feng looked in the direction of the stench, and he saw a pile of dark things at the entrance of the cemetery.
Feeling wrong, Li Feng immediately walked up cautiously. He saw clearly that the pile of dark things turned out to be the corpse of a mutated mouse.
In the past few days, the soldiers of Storm’s End sent all the rats they caught and killed to the cemetery.
Originally intended to bury it, but Bishop Frey suggested burning it immediately to purify it.
But this thing is really stinky, and it stinks even more when it is burned. When the wind blows, the entire Wind’s Breath City is full of stink.
The surrounding residents have opinions, and the noble knights who temporarily live in the outer city a little closer to here have even more opinions, so the guards of the cemetery can only burn a small batch of small batches.
It doesn’t matter if you smell the smell for a few more days, as long as the people above are not angry, after all, this is about a stable job.
But the plan that had already been compromised was suspended yesterday and today.
There is no other reason, only because the governor wants to hold a banquet, and the envoys of the kingdom, representatives of various noble families, and ambassadors from other islands will all come.
Important people are here, so if they smell the stench, wouldn’t it be shameful for the governor.
So the Chief Political Officer ordered that all matters that affect the success of the banquet will be suspended, even if it is related to demons.
After all, all the mutated mice are dead, so what else can they do.
The above thought so, but Li Feng doesn’t think so now, ever since seeing the mutated cat resurrected after death, the mutated mouse…
As if in response to Li Feng’s thoughts, something suddenly moved in the pile of rat corpses.
A cold chill climbed up Li Feng’s back, and there was no time.
At the entrance of the cemetery, there was a gravekeeper’s hut, and Li Feng ran in as fast as he could.
The strange thing is that the gravekeeper is not there.
But it should be for heating hot water. The charcoal fire in the stove in the hut is still slightly sparkling.
Li Feng immediately pulled off the sheet on the gravekeeper’s bed and threw it into the stove. When it met the flammable cotton cloth, the sparks instantly became flames.
After that, Li Feng ignited the firewood piled up in the corner of the room, and when the firewood was burning, he threw it to the pile of rats outside.
Night has fallen, the grand celebration banquet in the inner city has begun, and the flames of burning rat corpses in the outer city are also blazing.
A stench that could almost make people lose their minds came over their face. Li Feng tore off the hem of his shirt, covered his nose with it, and continued to throw the burning firewood.
There are too many rat corpses, and there are no combustion-supporting things, so the flame spreads too slowly.
Li Feng had already seen a revived mouse and ran to the depths of the cemetery.
I don’t know what’s in the depths of the cemetery, but Li Feng was surprised to find something under his feet.
While the flames were burning, several places in the cemetery broke open automatically.
Horror rats that had been revived came out of it, and as soon as they showed their heads, they rushed down in all directions.
Some go deep into the cemetery, and some go toward the urban area.
Now Li Feng realized that not all the mutated mice were burned, but some of them were buried in the ground.
There are more and more mice coming out, and the situation is getting worse and worse.
The absurd order above, and the random response below for the sake of convenience, finally led to the current situation.
Li Feng thinks this is beyond his control.
Li Feng planned to leave after lighting the grass on the ground with a torch and stopping the mutated rats underground as much as possible.
All he can do now is to inform more people.
However, just as he turned to leave, he found a figure who seemed to be drunk walking towards him at the entrance of the cemetery.
The man was wearing the clothes of a grave keeper, so he should be a grave keeper.
No wonder I didn’t see him just now, because I went to drink.
Li Feng ran forward, trying to wake up the drunk gravekeeper.
However, just as he took two steps forward, the gravekeeper suddenly raised his head.
Cloudy eyes, half of the cheeks that have been eaten off the face, salivating mouth, half-arched back…
The tomb guard, who was clearly not a human being, roared at Li Feng when he heard the sound from Li Feng’s feet, and then rushed towards him quickly.
Looking at the zombie-like monster in front of him, something exploded in Li Feng’s heart, and he couldn’t move as if struck by lightning.
More than twenty years, more than twenty years…
How could something that had disappeared from his life for more than twenty years appear again?
“Boom!”
Unable to tell whether it was the instinct of the past or the remaining reason, Li Feng raised the flint and killed the grave guard who came to bite him.
The zombie-like broken corpse fell down, and black blood flowed all over the ground.
“Aww—”
As if in response to Li Feng’s gunshot, a strange sound came from the cemetery behind him.
Li Feng followed the sound and looked, and saw behind the neatly arranged tombstones in the distance, there were only newly turned soil and empty coffins.
And farther away, dark shadows came out slowly. Like the grave guards just now, they swayed from side to side, not human-like.
The scene in front of him coincides with his previous experience. Li Feng, who has experienced the zombie world, almost broke his defense.
【Sanity recovery +1%】
【Sanity recovery +2%】
…
Li Feng realized that he was not in the right state, so he took out the water element essence that was already in stock to go fishing to regain his sanity.
But the recovered sanity still couldn’t quell the confusion in his thinking, and countless sealed memories appeared uncontrollably one by one.
In that life, some people speculated that the zombie plague was caused by rabies virus, but this kind of argument was useless, because the world soon fell.
Li Feng, who retired at that time, should be recruited back to join the team fighting against zombies.
However, in the process, he discovered that he was immune to the zombie virus.
And not only him, but a small number of people around the world can be immune to the virus.
But unfortunately, even if someone is naturally immune, medical experts still face many difficulties in developing a vaccine.
After the initial chaos, the surviving humans have established a safe base, and the high-level plan is that as long as all the zombies are wiped out, they can rebuild their homes.
But one day, a miserable and abrupt female cry sounded in the abandoned community.
Li Feng and his teammates thought they were survivors, but when they searched for the crying sound, they found the woman.
What he saw was a strange woman in ragged clothes, unkempt, skinny, and eyes completely turned into bright yellow.
In the darkness, a teammate pointed a flashlight at her, but suddenly, the weird woman seemed to be enraged, and attacked frantically to rescue her teammate.
The teammate with the flashlight died, and Li Feng and other teammates killed her by chance.
Through the autopsy of the medical experts at the base, they found that it was a special zombie with extremely strong attack power.
People then named this type of zombie “witch”.
Afterwards, more special zombies were discovered, “Bomb Demon”, “Predator”, “Smoker”, “Tank”…
There are also incomprehensible zombies that can never be cleaned up.
Those neighborhoods that had been cleaned up and completely sealed off, a few days later, new zombies appeared inexplicably.
How did they get in?
Moreover, no one could figure out where the zombies could come from other than the infected humans.
until one day.
Li Feng and his team were ordered to investigate an area where zombies appeared inexplicably, but when they went through untold hardships and finally arrived at the key location.
Li Feng and his teammates saw a scene they could never forget in their lifetime.
At the corner of a dark dead end, countless zombies appeared out of thin air from behind a transparent light curtain.
They line up, one after another, just like spawning monsters in the game…
The world view for many years was instantly destroyed, and the zombies found the panicked teammates.
Under the fierce battle, Li Feng, who ran out of bullets, could not retreat. Finally, he jumped into the light curtain that refreshed the zombies.
He thought he was going to die, or he was lucky enough to discover the truth behind the scenes, but who would have thought that when he woke up, he found that he had time-traveled and became a three-year-old child.
Although I live in an orphanage without father or mother, but fortunately there are no zombies here, and it is a safe and peaceful world.
After accepting the reality, Li Feng lived his life step by step, but just when he was about to let go of the past, he accidentally played a game.
The name of the game is Left 4 Dead.
The rabies virus has triggered a crisis of zombies. Among the endlessly refreshed zombies, there are still special infected people.
“Witch”, “Bomb Man”, “Stalker”, “Smoker”, “Tank”…
Exactly the same as his previous life.
So, what was his previous world? Just a game?
What about himself? npc in the game? An optional character that won’t be infected by zombie attacks?
But in the previous life, he obviously had his own life, just like a normal person.
This incident dealt a great blow to Li Feng at that time.
But the facts are already like this, he can only continue to move forward step by step.
Until 15 days ago, he accidentally clicked on the closed beta of the game Endless Sea and traveled again.
Because of his previous life experience, he didn’t panic like other players.
Who told him to travel out of the game himself, so what is there to make a fuss about when he travels to other games.
Life must go on.
But now, in this supernatural world that uses steam engines, he meets zombies again.
“Boom!”
The overwhelming memories subsided, and Li Feng’s mood gradually stabilized.
Facing the zombies that were about to attack him, Li Feng raised the flint and started to fight back.
