Chapter 1 Under the Influence

Under the influence of alcohol, Mbenga's nose twitched involuntarily. Even his Adam's apple moved up and down instinctively, and his hand couldn't help but grab the bottle tossed over by Fang Senyan, along with the fragrant roasted meat. He took a big bite and washed it down with a large gulp of alcohol.

"I don't like you very much," Mbenga mumbled, his words slurred as he devoured the meat and chugged the alcohol.

Fang Senyan chuckled and said, "I know, but the way you chopped off the horse's leg with one axe was quite savage and brave. My subordinates don't have such warriors."

Mbenga tore at the roast meat with his white teeth, his thick lips emitting unintelligible noises. Fang Senyan waited patiently for him to finish. The portions of alcohol and meat were carefully calculated and weighed to numb the big black man's nerves without getting him drunk.

"Would you like to have good wine to drink every day? And eat meat until you're full?"

Mbenga, who had already begun to tilt his head back, greedily pressing his lips against the empty bottle, suddenly froze and nodded repeatedly.

Fang Senyan said in a gentle voice, "Then you only need to follow me and protect me every day."

Mbenga hesitated, pointing first at himself, then at Fang Senyan.

"Protect... you?"

Fang Senyan nodded. "That's right. As long as I'm not in danger, you don't have to do anything."

As if to strengthen his persuasion, Fang Senyan took out another bottle of rum. Mbenga finally nodded. At this moment, Fang Senyan received a notification: "You are attempting to hire key plot character: Native Mbenga as a guide."

"You must pay 10,000 Universal Points for this action."

Fang Senyan immediately felt a mixture of joy and worry. The Nightmare Imprint had issued a notification, which was enough to show that Fang Senyan was on the right path, triggering the space's arrangement. But he was worried that the difficulty of this world was clearly beyond his imagination. A simple act of hiring a guide required paying a full 10,000 Universal Points!

Then, a large number of prompts came one after another: "You are attempting to hire natives as accompanying guards. You will pay 877 Universal Points for this (discounted for Major rank)."

"You are attempting to hire natives as accompanying guards. You will pay 1071 Universal Points for this (discounted for +1 Legend, Major rank)."

"........................"

It turned out that after this tribe occupied the port, the other tribes lived in dire straits. As the saying goes, heavy rewards bring forth brave men. The gold mine only took out a single-masted lifeboat plus three barrels of rum and exchanged them for twenty-one loyal tribal warriors from the other tribal chiefs.

Their strength might be very mediocre, but Fang Senyan didn't think so. Even if he were to be a little thick-skinned and treat them as tools for exploring the way, it would avoid many dangers.

Fang Senyan and the others had gathered a full 300,000 Universal Points to enter this world. Before even entering the formal world, they had spent 30,000 Universal Points just to hire people. Three hours had already passed. It would be easy for Fang Senyan and the others to walk more than a hundred kilometers in seven hours, but now that they had recruited subordinates, they had to consider the speed of these natives.

Fortunately, Fang Senyan had already given instructions to his pirate subordinates, so he didn't have time to say goodbye or anything. After purchasing a large amount of local medicine to repel blood-sucking insects and venom from these native tribes, he hurriedly set off to avoid the tragedy of not being able to enter the hidden world in time.

Although Fang Senyan still had a vague feeling that he had missed something crucial, he didn't have time to think about it. He could only follow the natives' guidance and quickly head towards the great swamp.

................

At this time on the African continent, night had fallen, and a tropical atmosphere permeated everywhere. Canna leaves swayed gently in the night wind, and the fragrance of acacia mixed with the palmetto trees created a unique atmosphere, making people deeply feel this unique exoticism. A straight-winged sand cockroach completely ignored the brown ant crawling past it and happily rubbed its wings on another iris, joining the chorus of finding a mate.

In order to pursue speed, Reef took the lead in clearing the way. He was not afraid of any poisonous insects or wild beasts... at least he was fearless before entering the hidden world. Originally, the mosquitoes that smelled the scent of sweat formed a cloud of two or three meters in radius, and the buzzing sound was mixed together, making people almost deaf! Fortunately, the secret medicine purchased at this time took effect, and some natives collected some plants and smeared the juice on their bodies. With this two-pronged approach, the mosquitoes gradually dispersed.

As for the guide Mbenga, he was drunk and snoring like thunder. He was carried on the road by two natives. When he woke up, he would probably have been carried to his destination, and there would be no chance to go back on his word.

It was very sultry to travel in this jungle. Fang Senyan looked at the time and there was only a little

Less than an hour left, and he was a little anxious. Suddenly, he felt a cool breeze blowing towards him. It was very pleasant to have this cool breeze blowing on his sweaty face, but after careful smelling, he could feel that there was an indescribable rotten smell in the wind. If you take a few more breaths, it seems that even the lungs will cramp uncomfortably, and then it will spread to the internal organs, making you want to vomit.

After smelling the wind, Fang Senyan heard the natives start talking "wuli wala."

After listening carefully, I realized

He knew that what they were saying was that the Great Swamp had arrived. Fang Senyan rushed to the front in three steps and took two steps. After walking about several hundred meters, the grass and trees in front of him suddenly became sparse, and the putrid smell in the air gradually became stronger, filling his chest.

It could be seen that in the vast night, a large number of gray shadows were undulating and crawling. In the gaps between these shadows, all were thick and dark black. This was the Great Swamp.

Fang Senyan took a few more steps forward, and the Nightmare Imprint immediately gave a reminder: "The ancient kingdom was annihilated in the mutated and crazy dream."

"The inheritors faithfully guard the glory of the past." "The ladder to heaven is that enchanting and gorgeous flower bud."

"The development of Europe will eventually reveal that mysterious veil."

"The ancestor's curse will sweep the entire world half a thousand years later."

(Please refer to the public version of the information for details here: Resident Evil 5 game built-in documentation.)

"Warning: You are about to enter the world of Resident Evil Origins."

"Warning: If you have not obtained the qualification to enter this hidden world, then you will suffer unpredictable damage."

At this time, a faint blood light appeared on the surface of Fang Senyan and the others' bodies, and then quickly merged into their bodies. The Nightmare Imprint immediately gave a prompt: "From now on, you have officially entered the hidden world: Resident Evil Origins."

"Please pay the price of 80,000 Universal Points per person for entering the hidden world."

"You each have one week to stay in this world. In addition, you each have sixty-two hours of extra free stay time." "After the time you purchased and the time you stayed have been exhausted, Universal Points will be deducted from you at a rate of 1,000 Points per hour. If there are not enough Universal Points, then the equipment on your body will be used to compensate. The price of equipment compensation is calculated according to the official spatial selling price. If the equipment and Universal Points are exhausted, then you will be forcibly driven out of this world."

"During your stay, you will not receive a main mission. You may receive side missions. Please weigh the pros and cons and take them carefully."

"For the milestones and title system opened in this world, you can choose whether to open them. Because of the special nature of this hidden world that is difficult to enter repeatedly, if you return to the Nightmare Space after opening a milestone and failing to complete it, you will be punished to a certain extent."

"Warning: In the hidden world, the Nightmare Space cannot locate your coordinates, so you can only return to the Nightmare Space after returning to Kumu Port."

"Warning! Warning! The crew of your flagship: Dingyuan, have not obtained permission to enter other plane worlds. Once they enter the area of the hidden world: Resident Evil Origins, they will inevitably die."

Fang Senyan and the others only had 270,000 Universal Points left at this time, but after this deduction, they only had 30,000 Universal Points left! In other words, when the time comes,

If there is no additional income, then each person can only last for about ten hours. No wonder a team leader went bankrupt here before. This ghostly place is really a high-stakes gamble!

........., .........., .................

The swamp here is quiet.

This is a place that seems to be boundless, with gray mist floating everywhere.

The turbid water rustles softly at the roots of the reeds.

Strangely, there seems to be a faint red surge in the water, which looks as if a massacre is taking place somewhere, and the blood flowing out is spreading everywhere in the water, but it does not dissolve, as if the obsession of wronged souls is gathering and not dispersing.

However, after getting closer, you will find that the source of the red color is the dense algae on the surface of the water. The surface of this duckweed, which is only the size of a button, is slightly reddish. Thousands of them gather together and drift with the waves, naturally looking like pieces and clumps, just like congealed blood that does not disperse.

According to the natives, even the hyenas with the most tenacious vitality in the primitive jungle would rather die of thirst than drink the water in the swamp. Once they drink it, their bellies will swell like pregnancy, and finally burst open, with all white maggots inside!!
