Chapter 160 The old man who tells a story


    "Do we still want to meet with other players?" Tao Chengxin asked on the way to follow the girl in the white dress.


    In addition to them and the dead Chen Tai, there are also Wang Qiao, Gao Baimei and Tang Yuan.


    "Of course not." Sun Jiju said: "Those three people were not honest, especially that Tom Yuan."


    "The two players who held him hostage the day before yesterday died at his hands."


    Of course, Tao Chengxin was not really so kind to bring the others with her. What she was worried about was: "The third task of the dungeon is to find things. The three of us are a little short of them."


    "Yesterday there were other players who did not show up followed us." She looked at Xu Huo, "Is that player with Tang Yuan?"


    "Do you want to know?" Xu Huo asked in an unknown way.


    Tao Chengxin couldn''t tell what he meant, and hesitated for a moment and said, "Actually, I don''t want to know that much."


    The girl in the white dress walking in front smiled, "What you want to know is very simple. Yesterday, three groups of people came to see me. The beginning was a man and a woman, and the middle was a man who was ruthless. The third one was quite polite and gave me money."


    "Mr. Xu must know these three groups of people. You installed a monitor on my umbrella and you should have heard our conversation."


    Tao Chengxin and Sun Jirou looked at Xu Huo at the same time. His expression was completely different from yesterday. The two of them had always felt something strange before, but because of their tense spirit, they had never reacted. Now, when the girl in the white dress reminded them, they realized that this person was pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger!


    Xu Huo did not deny that his goal had been achieved.


    "If Wang Qiao and Gao Baimei didn''t go to the Jimu Bu Mo Shop, they must have gone to the delicious meat sausage shop. As for the person who was following me, if he was alone, there was no need to ask me and the tour guide."


    He looked at the girl in white dress, "You told him about Bear Claw Restaurant and the delicious meat sausage shop. If Tang Yuan went there, the two of them would probably be in the same group."


    "You deliberately tricked us yesterday and let us identify the authenticity of these places!" Sun Jirou immediately thought of his performance yesterday. He deliberately said in front of other players that he had clues, and his half-exposedness was arousing imagination, which made other players have the idea of ??following him!


    Tao Chengxin stared at Xu Huo, "We were all fooled!"


    "I didn''t expect anyone to cooperate like this before." Xu Huoyi glanced at the girl in the white skirt with some reason. At most, he wanted to ask some information from the local people, but the age range he defined was over 35 years old. Even if the elderly in the building block fairy tale city were almost dead, one person could not verify it.


    Let other players go to find people spontaneously and automatically, which is more convenient than him to talk and persuade them.


    Regardless of whether anyone finds clues, it is progress.


    But he didn''t expect that the girl in white dress would show up on her own initiative.


    The girl in white dress smiled but didn''t say anything.


    Several people arrived at their destination in silence.


    This is a small yard at the corner of the fairy tale city. The girl in white dress pushed open the door and invited them in.


    The yard was full of sunflowers. As soon as the four stepped in, the two sunflowers that were originally facing the door suddenly turned around in one hand.


    Xu Huo and Sun Jirou were distracted, but Tao Chengxin was shocked, "Isn''t this a prop?" The girl in white dress turned around and said, "I heard that this is a specialty of the E19 wormhole point. It is called the not-so-smart sunflower. She likes to carry people on her back."


    Tao Chengxin said half-believingly: "Has sunflowers become elf?"


    The girl in the white dress laughed, "Humans will evolve, and plants will evolve. This sunflower generates a special pollen projection range in a special environment. Its pollen will form a complete cycle around the sunflower. Once someone breaks this cycle, the sunflower will re-project pollen in another direction."


    "So that''s the case." Tao Chengxin said: "I have only seen evolutionary animals before, and this is the first time I have seen plants."


    “Plants are not like animals, and their changes are not obvious.”


    The girl in the white dress invited them into the room and greeted the old man sitting in the rocking chair by the window, "Grandpa Bai, I''m back and bringing a few friends."


    The old man on the rocking chair seemed a little slow to react. He turned his head after a few seconds and said slowly, "Tea."


    The girl in the white dress made tea, pushed the rocking chair to the sofa, poured a cup for each person, and picked up the cup for the elderly to drink.


    The old man''s hands were shaking very hard, and he couldn''t hold the cup at all. He held the girl in the white dress and drank two sips of tea, and smiled at her again, "Drink."


    The girl in white dress wiped the corner of her mouth with a handkerchief.


    Xu Huo and the other two did not touch the teacup, and the girl in the white dress didn''t care. She held the teacup and said to the old man, "Grandpa Bai, they want to know what happened twenty years ago."


    The old man''s expression changed suddenly and he immediately asked, "Are they players?"


    After the girl in the white dress nodded, he seemed a little excited and tried to sit up from the rocking chair, but her back fell back before she straightened. In the end, she could only hold the armrest to breathe, "Okay, okay, as long as you are players, you must spread the truth about the fairy tale city."


    Sun Jirou and Tao Chengxin looked at each other, "Old man, let''s talk about what happened twenty years ago first."


    The old man''s turbid eyes flashed with light, and he said, "It turns out that there are players in the fairy tale city, but unfortunately they were all killed by people from the government department."


    "Twenty years ago, Fairy Tale City just entered the game. The government office tricked many players to LT Biopharma for lies to cultivate players and used players to do experiments. In less than two years, they developed a potion that could enable ordinary people to evolve quickly."


    "Evolutionists will grow rapidly when they start using this potion. Over time, they will experience xenogenesis symptoms."


    "But LT only tells players that this is a side effect of the potion, and just take the antidote they developed to relieve the symptoms."


    "The players are not all fools. After entering the dungeon, someone discovered the truth and joined forces with other players to resist LT, but unexpectedly they were framed as cannibalists and injected them with a large amount of evolution potion, making them become neither human nor ghost in a short period of time."


    "Some players were deceived to help LT chase the alienated players. In this way, players who knew the truth died and were caught. In order to let more players get useful props and weapons from the dungeons, those who were obsessed with leniency actually put the potion into the drinking water system of Fairy Tale City."


    "In just three months, half of the tens of millions of people have gradually become alien species," tears flowed out of the old man''s eyes. "In that month, the fairy tale city almost became a dead city. Apart from alien species, there were no living people outside. There were rotten corpses everywhere and blood. Those who were once compatriots wandered in groups on the streets, eating the remaining corpses when they were hungry..."
