"Found it." Spider-Man's body had located the cabin. Zhang Chengyi looked up at the sun on the horizon, which was setting much faster than expected. There was probably only an hour left before dark. He said, "Speed up. Five kilometers. The cabin is five kilometers away."
Standing halfway up a small mountain, it takes five kilometers of walking to see the wooden houses in the mountains. The mountain has been altered to an enormous degree.
Moreover... it's not just a simple wooden cabin. From Spider-Man's perspective, it looks like a wooden villa. The five members of the group from the movie have arrived and are cooking over a fire, seemingly having a lot of fun.
Chu Xuan, Ba Wang, Ling Dian, and Zhao Ying Kong were all physically fit enough to keep up with the five-kilometer run, but the other extras and newcomers were struggling, especially a female office worker wearing high heels. She had already shown signs of pain from walking earlier, and now hearing about the five-kilometer run made her even more desperate.
This is a challenge that is not difficult, but it is not easy for ordinary people either. As long as you are not willing to give up, running five kilometers slowly in an hour is really not something that cannot be accomplished.
Zhang Chengyi was at the front, and he wasn't moving very fast. He walked at a pace that was about the same as an average person walking briskly.
Zhan Lan sensed the captain's intention and used her telekinesis to cover the surroundings, observing the newcomers' situation.
After walking for about ten minutes, the group that was originally huddled together was stretched into a long line.
Zheng Zha glanced back at the newcomers who were slowing down, hesitated for a moment, then slowed down to the back. Amid Zhao Yingkong's sneer, he used his internal energy to help the newcomers who couldn't keep up.
However, he didn't care. He would never forget the joy and gratitude he felt when Captain America saved him when he was about to be a hundred meters away from Matthew Addison in Resident Evil 1.
Chapter 91 Danger Approaching
"Thank you."
"I'm panting," Li Shuaixi said gratefully.
Zheng Zha shook his head indifferently, ignoring the flirtatious female office worker, and walked forward. Looking at the wooden house with its lights on in the distance and the setting sun, he asked, "Captain, should we deal with the characters in the house beforehand?"
He had been prepared to become a villain ever since he killed the mercenaries in Resident Evil 1. Although he felt very uncomfortable saying those words now, it was indeed the easiest way for everyone to survive.
After all, the characters in the story are possessed by evil spirits, and no one knows how the evil spirits that can be defeated by ordinary people in the movie will be changed by the main god and demon.
The zombies in Resident Evil 1 who ignored guns and explosions serve as a cautionary tale.
"Do you think I'm a serial killer?" Zhang Chengyi gave Zheng Zha a flick on the forehead and said, "The mercenaries in Resident Evil 1 were working for Umbrella. Look at Matt and Alice, they're all fine. Besides, they were just clones. Killing them is no big deal."
"The characters in this film are innocent; don't resort to violence at the drop of a hat."
Of course, a large part of the reason is that Resident Evil 1 was too easy, so he killed people to force the game developers to increase the difficulty so he could get a higher score and take control of the game.
If he had simply followed the steps through the laser tunnel and waited for Zheng Zha to single-handedly save Matthew Addison and receive the reward, how could he have guided the newcomers to blindly obey orders?
The current difficulty of the Evil Dead game is already quite high. The rewards for saving people will definitely be more than those for killing them directly. After all, you can save people many times, but you can only kill them once, and there's plenty of time in the whole night.
Zheng Zha didn't think too much about it, or perhaps because the shadow of being stimulated by the strange tree earlier made him reluctant to have too much contact with evil spirits. Hearing Zhang Chengyi's words, he was a little taken aback, shut his mouth, and didn't say anything more. For some reason, he breathed a sigh of relief.
Among the newcomers, Chu Xuan's appearance was unremarkable. Even if he tried to appear deadpan, no one could tell anything. Zero and Overlord were somewhat dismissive, as neither of them were respectable people. One was an assassin, and the other a mercenary. In order to survive, killing a few strangers was no big deal for them.
Zhao Yingkong's disdain was almost blatantly displayed on her face. In her opinion, this team was clearly willing to do anything to survive, and from the captain to the members, they were all full of womanly compassion. This team was not worth her joining.
Zhan Lan and the others remained calm. They already knew that Zhang Chengyi's thought process was unusual, so they just listened to what he said and did and followed along. There was nothing surprising about it.
The characters inside the cabin finally noticed the arrival of strangers outside. Two men came out together, and one of them shouted, "Who are you?"
"Hey, Scott, aren't you being a bit too harsh?" the man next to him whispered.
However, to the official members of the Central Continent Team, it was no different from being shouted at from the side.
The man called Scott surveyed the composition of the Middle Continent team. Six strong Asian men with very similar appearances stood in front (Spider-Man's body and The Shining's body had already joined the main force), six people in the middle dressed like they were from an ancient Chinese movie, and the people on the sides were all dressed in modern clothes.
The one that caught his attention the most was a tall Russian man standing at the back.
“Hey, sextuplets, Scott, I bet his mom must be amazing,” the man next to him whispered.
"Ash, shut up," Scott snapped at his companion, then shouted, "What are you doing here?"
Zhan Lan stepped forward and negotiated: "I'm sorry, we are a tour group from Zhongzhou. Our tour guide got lost, and it's getting dark soon. Can we rest here for the night?"
Scott looked at the busty beauty, his expression softened, and he opened his mouth to say, "Of course." Then Ash grabbed him and said, "Excuse me, we need to discuss this."
After saying that, they went inside. After a while, as the sky gradually turned dusky, the two came out again. Ash said first, "Alright, you can come in and rest, but we need to make sure you're not carrying any weapons."
They had agreed that if this group of people really had any malicious intentions, they would just rush in. There were too many of them; the five of them couldn't possibly handle them. Besides, a large group of people didn't seem like they were there specifically to cause trouble.
The only thing to be careful about is preventing the women inside from being bullied by the bad guys there.
-------------------------------------
"Hey, it's almost dark and they still haven't gone out. Should we go back and look for them?"
The crew-cut man, who didn't believe in any nonsense about a divine space, regretted his words and quickly added, "If we encounter wolves or something, having them around will make it easier for us to escape."
The young man with the copper ring, who had been roughly pressed down and stomped on by Li Xiaoyi for a while, touched his still stinging cheek and showed a hint of hatred. He said, "If you want to go back, go back yourself. The three of us brothers can live well anywhere."
The two thugs with dyed hair next to them exchanged a glance and found that they both hesitated.
The feeling of not being able to find a soul along the winding mountain road was despairing. I could clearly see the town in the distance from the high point halfway up the mountain, but I couldn't get down no matter what I did.
Could it really be some kind of ghost story?
They hadn't seen the movie, since it was from the early 1980s, before they were even born. But judging from the title, "ghost," could it be related to the phenomenon of being trapped in a ghost's maze?
"Why don't we go back? It's getting dark, they might know where we can stay," a young hoodlum said hesitantly.
The other two men and women who were also trying to descend the mountain joined in.
Seeing that even his friends were against him, and that no one else would go with him, the young man with the copper ring shouted, "Get out! All of you, get out!" With that, he ran down the mountain without looking back and disappeared in no time.
The two young thugs chased after them for a couple of steps, but then realized that fog had somehow spread along the mountain path. Fear gripped them, and they slowed down. They turned back and discussed the matter with the other three, and they all decided to go back and find the people who were likely scammers.
They walked uphill along the mountain path for another ten minutes or so. The last ray of sunlight had not yet sunk below the horizon, and the sky turned gray. The light was rapidly fading away, and they could no longer find the place where they had started. Tired, thirsty, and hungry, their legs ached after walking for more than an hour. They had to resort to cursing to drive away their fear.
"Squeak~"
"Squeak~"
I don't know if it's the wind, but the sound of the tree branches swaying is getting louder and louder.
"Have you noticed that the road is getting narrower and narrower, and the trees are getting closer and closer to us?"
One of the thugs asked in a trembling voice.
"Whoosh! Snap!" A vine suddenly stretched out from the woods, wrapped around his calf, and he was dragged in the next second.
Silence, stillness, then they scattered and fled.
But can they escape the 'ghosts'?
Chapter 92 You Can't Leave
"I'm sorry we didn't prepare any extra food. If you're really hungry, I brought two bags of toast."
"You can stay in the downstairs rooms, but you can't come upstairs..."
Ash spoke casually, saying that before he was tormented by evil spirits and turned into a demon hunter, he was a kind and pure-hearted warrior.
"Where did the tape recorder and this book come from?" Zhang Chengyi suddenly asked, pointing to the tape recorder on the corner table and the thick book with the strange cover.
Ash was a little puzzled, wondering what the point of caring about those two was, but he still replied, "We rented this house, and the tape recorder and books were in the living room when we arrived."
"Ha, the tape recorder was still playing strange incantations, so I moved them there."
The Supreme God is a real scoundrel.
Zheng Zha and the others exchanged glances, realizing why the outside world felt so dangerous.
The exact number of things released by the spell is unknown.
As soon as the newlyweds entered the house, they each found a place to sit down. Since there were no chairs or sofas, they sat on the floor to rest. Walking five kilometers is very difficult for ordinary people who don't exercise much, let alone in the mountains with a slight slope.
Without Zheng Zha's help, half of the newcomers would have fallen behind and couldn't keep up.
"It's getting dark." Chu Xuan suddenly spoke. After the sun had sunk below the horizon, its light disappeared very quickly for some reason. In the blink of an eye, a hazy crescent moon appeared on the horizon, but it was completely unable to illuminate the dark and gloomy forest.
Zhang Chengyi walked to a corner, picked up the Book of Death, which felt like human skin, shook it, and asked, "Can I borrow this book to take a look?"
“Of course, no problem.” Ash was easy to talk to, then said, “It’s best not to turn on the recorder. The spells in it make me feel very uncomfortable. My sister threw up after listening to them.”
"Your sister?" Zhang Chengyi's gaze swept across the living room. He hadn't seen the three women from the five main characters since the beginning.
“Yes.” Ash said, a bright smile spreading across his face. “My sister’s name is Cheryl, and she’s very pretty.”
Humans are visual creatures after all. Zhang Chengyi's body was sculpted by combining Wu Yazi's appearance and temperament. He looks handsome and refined. As long as he doesn't reveal his own temperament, he can definitely make a normal person feel good about him in a second.
Zhang Chengyi gave Zhan Lan a look, then said, "How about we do something fun together in the living room tonight?"
Ash hesitated for a moment, then said, "It's a pity I didn't bring my board games. But with so many of us, even just getting together to tell stories would be fun, wouldn't it? Let me tell you..."
He enthusiastically described how they would spend the long night with strangers after dinner.
He's such an outgoing and interesting young man.
Zheng Zha couldn't help but smile; it was good that he hadn't killed the other party outright.
Zhan Lan used her telekinesis to investigate the situation on the second floor. Her expression gradually became serious. She gently patted Zheng Zha and used her telekinesis to move Scott, who was sitting not far from the stairwell. The two of them ran upstairs.
Ash was unaware that someone had come upstairs. The six Zhang Chengyis, who looked almost identical, had captured his full attention since they entered and followed him around the house. He couldn't see that two of the fourteen people wandering around the house were missing.
There were many people around, and he seemed quite happy, talking non-stop, when suddenly a dull thud came from upstairs.
"Boom!"
"Oh!" Ash hurriedly pushed through the crowd and rushed towards the stairwell.
[Zheng Zha's account has a new D-level side quest, worth 1000 reward points. It's probably from rescuing someone or encountering an evil spirit?]
As the light ball of the Zhongzhou team, Zhang Chengyi could see the team's stats, so he wasn't in a hurry.
The chubby boy and Li Xiaoyi were very enthusiastic and rushed over, but Scott stopped them at the top of the stairs: "Hey, you can't go upstairs!"
"What happened?" Zhan Lan and Zheng Zha asked as they entered from outside.
Upon hearing the noise, the chubby boy and Li Xiaoyi retreated into the crowd.
Scott was puzzled as to when the two had left, but he still stood on the stairs and loudly declared his ownership: "This is our house."
He wasn't afraid because they found a hunting rifle in the house, which they had hidden on the second floor.
If there's any trouble downstairs, whoever is downstairs will shout, "This is our house!" and another person will come down with a shotgun, so he's not worried about these outsiders causing trouble.
"Scott! Scott!" Ash called from upstairs, "Cheryl and Linda have fainted, and it looks like they're in bad shape."
Zheng Zha leaned close to Zhang Chengyi and whispered, "Cheryl, the one upstairs who can sense the presence of demons, has already been possessed by an evil spirit."
He briefly explained what had just happened: "After going upstairs, there was a woman lying at the bedroom door. Cheryl tried to attack us, but was subdued by Zhan Lan."
