As the dense fog dissipated, the state of the village changed once again.
The infected who remained outside, the most severely afflicted, had all transformed into small sea urchins and disappeared along with the sea urchin clusters.
As for the remaining infected, the urchin-like growths on their bodies had significantly enlarged.
The villagers who had been hiding in their homes opened their doors and began their true lives.
Only at this time did they live like people; during the day, they were merely puppets controlled by the virus.
The changes in their bodies were minimal; it seemed that as long as they didn't go out at night, the progress of urchinification could be slowed.
However, whether it was close contact with the sea urchins or the misty water that exacerbated the urchinification, Wen Wen did not know.
With the restoration of their self-will, the entire town was enveloped in sadness. Arguments, crying, and pleading filled the air. Under an incurable disease, humans were truly incredibly fragile.
Compared to those patients who had already turned into sea urchins, perhaps these patients who were still holding on were suffering even more.
However, Wen Wen was not in the mood to explore the village's ecology. He was more concerned about the game puppet under Wu Wang's command. Wen Wen was very curious as to how Wu Wang had become involved in this plague.
After the golden sea urchin retreated, the dark figure familiarly walked back into a courtyard, as if returning to his own home.
If he were not Wu Wang's puppet, seeing his tired appearance, Wen Wen would have thought he was fighting monsters and protecting the town.
But since he was related to Wu Wang, it was not impossible that he had some ulterior motive.
After fighting for two consecutive hours, the dark figure was also quite exhausted, so he went straight to bed and fell into a deep sleep.
Sleep, playing games, fighting monsters, sleep… this was the entire life of the dark figure in this town for over ten days.
Perhaps it was because these ten days had been too peaceful that he wasn't very vigilant. After all, apart from him, everyone else in this town was an infected person with urchin-like growths; who had the ability to attack him?
But after he fell asleep, Wen Wen had already quietly sneaked into the house, observing the layout of the room.
In the living room, there was a computer desk with a game controller plugged into the computer. There were many snacks on the desk, as well as a small box of walnuts.
From these subtle traces, it seemed that he had been living here for some time and even had the leisure to play games.
It appeared that when Wen Wen was searching the town during the day, he was here, but because his presence was so low, Wen Wen had overlooked him.
Secretly watching the dark figure lying on the bed, Wen Wen began to hesitate, unsure whether to get involved in this mess.
Although this dark figure appeared defenseless lying on the bed, if Wen Wen did not use his monstrous physique, he was not confident he could subdue him.
Wen Wen was very aware of how troublesome Wu Wang's puppets were; the fact that this guy could entangle with that golden sea urchin for two hours was proof.
But if he activated his monstrous physique, his plan of not using it for a month would be broken.
"The stimulation I received in Bi Yi Town was already significant, but I still couldn't awaken my abilities. Continuing like this might not yield any results, so I should focus on the matter at hand first."
After carefully weighing the pros and cons, Wen Wen decided to deal with this dark figure and the golden sea urchin first. Awakening his abilities could wait for another opportunity.
If he could save thousands of people in this town, it wouldn't matter if he had to start his awakening plan all over again.
Thus, he finally activated his monstrous physique once more, and thick black hair spread out…
…
Wei Su had been in this town for more than half a month. Previously, he had been attacked by a lunatic who enjoyed playing games and was transformed into his current completely black appearance.
The transformation ritual was interrupted halfway through, so not only was his personality not erased, but he also inherited some of the attacker's memories.
Although the memories were incomplete, they were enough for him to evade the attacker's pursuit.
However, with his current monstrous appearance, he could no longer return to a normal life, and even being a shut-in gamer was uncomfortable.
And within the attacker's memories, there was only one way for him to regain his normal appearance, and the breakthrough lay in this small island town!
Within the body of that giant sea urchin was something that could turn him back into his normal self, so he actively plotted and tried various methods, but he was still unable to deal with that golden sea urchin.
He had already fought the golden sea urchin more than ten times, and not once had he even managed to scratch its outer skin!
Today, as usual, after fighting with the sea urchin, he peacefully fell asleep.
After waking up, he would start his decadent life of eating, drinking, defecating, urinating, and playing games.
But this sleep seemed different. Just ten minutes after falling asleep, he felt a sense of unease in his heart, as if something terrifying was about to happen.
So he quickly opened his eyes and found himself in complete darkness.
It was nighttime, and it should be dark, but what he saw was not the normal night scenery, but densely packed black hair!
Wei Su reacted swiftly, and pixels coalesced in his hand, forming a pixelated red long sword.
With a gentle swing of the sword, a fireball struck the hair, and flames erupted.
"It's just hair; it shouldn't withstand burning, right…" Wei Su watched the flames with anticipation, hoping to see the hair break.
But although the hair was burned red, there was no sign of it breaking!
This wasn't hair, it was steel wire!
Then, Wei Su tried various methods, constantly switching his weapons and equipment, but he could only be helplessly enveloped by this hair, becoming a large black zongzi, with only his head exposed.
The hair, burned red, tightened around him, emitting a sizzling sound and the stench of scorched flesh.
It was only now that he could clearly see who his enemy was.
It was a man with small eyes and a peculiar expression, holding his snacks and watching his resistance with amusement, as if watching a play.
From beginning to end, only his hair had acted, but Wei Su could do nothing about even this hair.
Wen Wen straightened the snack bag in his hand, poured all the leftover crumbs into his mouth, then balled up the wrapper and threw it at Wei Su's face, asking:
"You're Wu Wang's game puppet, right? Your abilities are very interesting. How can you conjure so many weapons with a 'kacha kacha' sound? What's the principle?"
Wei Su bit his lip and did not answer Wen Wen's question. He would never reveal the secrets of his abilities.
"If you don't say it, you don't say it. So stingy," Wen Wen complained with a pout, then said to Wei Su, "Tell me, what unethical thing have you done by coming to this town this time?"
Wei Su looked at Wen Wen with a bewildered expression and said, "Brother, do we know each other?" Su Dan Novel Net
Wen Wen's expression suddenly froze. Had he grabbed the wrong person?
