Chapter 108 What Have They Been Eating?

What have they been eating these past few days?

This couldn't withstand detailed thought!

Especially when combined with everything they saw from the window during the day, if it was all real, then they dared not think about it any further!

"Maybe the scene from the window is fake? Or maybe the game card glitched?"

Lu Xiaoyao was forced to "innocently" think of everything in the best possible light.

After all, if the view from the second-floor window was the real scene, she really wouldn't dare to keep thinking about that fact!

The matter of the food being fake couldn't withstand scrutiny!

"No, maybe what we saw from the window is the true sight," Leng Youyou took a deep breath. "Today in the kitchen... there was an earthen stove. If I remember correctly, the data says that kind of earthen stove needs the most primitive fuel, like dry grass and firewood. But I didn't see any. How did they start the fire for cooking?"

"Today, I even took a special look at the backyard... Where is the firewood and dry grass for the earthen stove kept?"

"Maybe there are other rooms? Or maybe it's not in the backyard."

Although everyone could understand Leng Youyou's suspicion, there were other reasons to refute it.

For example, they hadn't left the hotel these past few days, and they hadn't seen the panoramic view of the surroundings. What they said about not seeing firewood and dry grass might just be because they hadn't seen it, not because it didn't really exist.

"What about the food?" Leng Youyou raised another point. "The floor of the shelf where the rice, flour, grain, and oil are stored is very clean."

"Is there a problem with that?" Lu Xiaoyao didn't quite understand, but Wang Wenfei already understood Leng Youyou's meaning.

"The ground is rough and difficult to clean completely. There will inevitably be traces on the ground from taking grain every day, but we didn't see any in the kitchen."

"That's right, the kitchen is indeed too clean." Hu Yue also began to carefully recall the details mentioned by Leng Youyou, and silently added, "There is no range hood above the earthen stove. There must be greasy soot on the top from cooking for many years, but there isn't any here. Also, the cured meat... the game time is in the summer. Putting the cured meat in the kitchen, especially in the hot summer, is not the right place to store it."

"Seriously, how do you guys know so much?" Julian was shocked by all the details they mentioned.

"I went to Hua Lan Star for tourism during the National Day holiday. It just so happened that there was a tourist-oriented planet in their star field, mainly focusing on ‘agritainment.’ I saw a lot of these small houses and earthen stoves, and I even saw them being used~"

"Didn't you say you were going home?"

"I accidentally overslept and missed my flight."

Hu Yue shrugged. Her father was the legion commander of the Sixth Army of the Empire. The Sixth Army had always been stationed on the edge of the Empire, and their Hu family had also settled on a planet far from the central star.

Just like what she said to her friends at school, her home was very far away.

This National Day, her brother replaced her father in attending the banquet in the central star and then went back to work on missions. Hu Yue, who originally wanted to hitch a ride, could only temporarily change her plans.

"That... that's not necessarily the case, maybe the planners don't have much experience, or it's the modeler's problem. You guys, could you be overthinking it?"

Although Lu Xiaoyao was still refuting them, her voice was getting quieter and quieter.

"But seeing is believing." Leng Youyou said, and glanced at Lu Xiaoyao, who was still struggling, and couldn't help but sigh, turning and going out.

Soon everyone saw her return, this time with a telescope and a flashlight in her hand.

"Perfect, I want to see what you guys saw during the day."

After saying that, Leng Youyou turned on her high-powered flashlight, and a beam of light shone from the second-floor window of the hotel towards the backyard.

Leng Youyou picked up the telescope and looked in the direction of the flashlight. Suddenly, everyone saw Leng Youyou's face change instantly, and the next second she threw the telescope out of her hand, retreating several steps with rapid breathing.

Fortunately, the telescope she threw was caught by Lu Xiaoyao next to her: "You look like you've seen a ghost..."

Regardless of Leng Youyou's pale face as she looked towards the vegetable garden, Lu Xiaoyao also used the telescope, and the result—

"Ahhhhh! Ghost!"

The scream not only frightened the people in the room, but also scared Charlie and Madison, who were guarding the door, directly into the room. As a result, Lu Xiaoyao was sitting paralyzed on the ground, hugging Julian with both hands, screaming with her eyes closed.

A group of people were frightened by Lu Xiaoyao, and the expressions on their faces were a little strained. Among them, Julian, wearing elastic-waist sweatpants, had to grit his teeth and hold on to his waistband.

"Let go!"

Julian glared at Lu Xiaoyao.

"Wuwuwu! There are ghosts! In the field... wuwuwuwu..."

Lu Xiaoyao hugged his leg tightly, completely ignoring what Julian was saying. She was already so frightened that she couldn't speak clearly.

Julian took a deep breath, silently telling himself not to argue with her. Then he simply took the telescope himself and looked over again, using Leng Youyou's still-lit flashlight. Instantly, he gasped.

At this time, on that circled wasteland, there appeared three or four bloody, humanoid, non-human things resembling coconuts from some early horror movie on ancient Blue Star.

They were currently crawling back and forth on that wasteland in a strange posture with their abdomens facing up and their faces facing down, their hands and feet reversed, like a pack of wild dogs foraging for food.

And the weed-covered wasteland seen during the day now had a large number of decaying limbs covered in corpse spots struggling to emerge from the soil, and then wriggling on the muddy ground...

"Ugh!"

Compared to the two girls, Julian wasn't that timid, but this scene was really so memorable that his stomach was churning with acid.

When the others saw it, they followed suit, some frightened, some disgusted. In short, the seven players ended up just sitting quietly on the two beds, speechless.

They needed to be quiet.

"I think..." After a long while, Julian spoke first, "Maybe we should go out of the kitchen downstairs and see for ourselves..."

During the day, because it was raining, everyone just stood there in the kitchen and didn't go out. Now they couldn't tell whether there was something wrong with the window on the second floor or with the kitchen on the first floor.

Although everyone really didn't want to admit that the real possibility was the window on the second floor, if that was the truth, wouldn't this plane be too terrifying?

……

"Wow~"

Mingmei was watching this group of players' "death-seeking" behavior through Lu Xiaoyao's live broadcast, lying on her bed in her room. Mu Chen knew she was very happy just by seeing Mingmei's joyful little feet.

"What's wrong?"

"After so many days, they are finally going to take the initiative!"

Mingmei excitedly shared the players' plans with Mu Chen. She had told Mu Chen before about her ability to see Lu Xiaoyao's live broadcast.

Mu Chen could understand why Mingmei sometimes accurately located players when she was selling boxed lunches.

"What are you going to do tonight? Do you need me to cooperate with anything?"

"Hmm..." Mingmei raised her eyebrows, rolled over and sat up from the bed, staring at Mu Chen for a long time, and silently asked, "What do I usually do in the game?"

"Urge them to buy boxed lunches."

Mingmei: ???

Is that her image?

"I always thought I was kind-hearted and helped them."

This wasn't her being narcissistic, it was what the audience in Lu Xiaoyao's live broadcast said. After saying it for a long time, Mingmei was about to believe it.

"You're just afraid they'll die before they buy your boxed lunches."

Mingmei: "..."

Mu Chen's words were so damn accurate!

Mingmei: "So?"

Mu Chen: "So, you can kill however you want in this round. I won't help them stop you. Anyway, you've made a lot of money from boxed lunches~"

After saying that, Mu Chen smiled innocently at Mingmei, as if the background was a picture of spring blossoms.

Mingmei: "..."

For a moment, Mingmei didn't know if Lu Xiaoyao was being punished for running into such a "mysterious merchant" ＿(¦3」∠)_
