Chapter 17

When he opened his eyes again, Li Ang found himself sitting cross-legged on the floor of a farming hall, holding a handful of playing cards in his hand, and sitting in front of him were three rather plainly dressed villagers.

At the same time, information about the mission also flowed through his mind.

According to the system instructions, the script task will send the player to an independent time and space, and the player needs to play a certain role to complete the task issued by the system.

During this process, players can wear equipment, use items, and release extraordinary powers. Most of the bizarre behaviors will not cause "confusion" to the indigenous residents. Of course, if they are done too far, they will still cause trouble.

In this mission, Li Ang plays a young villager in Yinshan Village named Feng Tiehui.

Hidden Mountain Village is located deep in the mountains. Remoteness, poverty, backwardness, occlusion, and ignorance have always been the labels of this small mountain village.

With the rapid development of the outside world and the ever-changing science and technology, the closed Yinshan Village still maintains the silence of the ancient well. It was not until the road leading to the outside of the mountain was paved that the torrent of information from the colorful world outside finally broke through the obstacles and brought a glimmer of vitality to the Yinshan Village.

But in the memories of some middle-aged and elderly villagers, the fear of famine and hunger is still vivid and palpable.

The task briefing ended here, and Li Ang took a leisurely look at the rural town hall in front of him.

The interior space of the building is quite large. The triangular roof is made of round logs and is two stories high. The ground is covered with concrete floor tiles full of holes.

Combined with the cracked gray walls and handmade wooden chairs stacked on both sides of the hall, the paint is mottled and falling off,

It can be inferred that this Great Hall has a history of at least forty or fifty years.

During the period of the rural people's commune, this hall was used to hold meetings for the production brigade and carry out commune construction.

And when the rural commune no longer adapts to the times, the utilization rate of the town hall also plummets. Now it is either used to hold elections for the village party secretary, or to sing operas for theatrical troupes, or... just like now, it is used for mortuary... ..

On the left side of the innermost part of the auditorium, there are words "Advocating Learning and Pursue Kindness", and on the right side is "Pragmatic and Trustworthy". In the middle is a platform with a height of one person, on which a black-gray wooden coffin is placed.

It was night at this time, the door of the Great Hall was open, and stars could be seen in the night sky.

The chilly night wind blowing from outside the gate stirred the incandescent lamp hanging from the dome of the great hall, and the light and shadow cycled, shining brightly on the gray coffin on the platform.

Four villagers, including Li Ang, sat in a cross shape on the floor near the door of the great hall, with a few old newspapers under their buttocks, and a pile of poker cards piled up on the newspaper in the center of the four.

"Two Tens"

"Two J's"

"Two K's"

The game of cards was carried out in a dull atmosphere, and the four of them played cards not for entertainment, but to survive this difficult night accompanied by the lonely coffin.

Villager A sitting directly opposite Li Ang said casually: "Feng Tiegen, that bastard, my mother is lying here and asked us to watch the night, but he took his daughter-in-law to the county seat."

Villager B said: "Don't say that, he also went to the county to apply for the "Resident Death and Funeral Certificate"."

"What a fart!" Villager A sneered, "He killed his old mother himself, so he still has face?"

Villager B and Villager C's complexion changed, and they glanced stiffly at the coffin deep in the hall, and said in a low voice, "Don't talk nonsense!"

"What nonsense? Am I wrong?" Villager A said indifferently: "When he was a child, his mother brought him up with a handful of shit and urine, and he didn't starve him when the whole village was about to eat tree bark." .”

"It turned out that he was lucky. Since he married that daughter-in-law, the family's small bungalow has been built, but he refuses to pay for his mother's medical treatment."

"Isn't it just cancer? If it can't be cured, let it be cured. It's okay to take it home and take care of it. Feng Tiegen and his wife think it's troublesome to take care of the seriously ill old lady, so they lock her in the cowshed in the backyard! Return it to the cowshed It's locked!"

"How can people's hearts be so poisonous? His old mother was trapped in the cowshed and no one cared about her. She didn't eat or drink. How did she die in the end? She starved to death!"

"When she was dragged out of the cowshed, she still had a large ball of cotton in her mouth and a bag of instant noodle seasoning packets that she couldn't digest! She had lost her teeth and was so hungry that she wanted to eat seasoning packets, but she couldn't even get the plastic bag outside. Can't tear it apart!"

Speaking of this, villager A trembled angrily, and villagers B and C also had low faces and remained silent.

Although Feng Tiegen's behavior will be nailed to the pillar of shame and will always be pointed out by the villagers of Yinshan Village, but for scum, face is always dispensable.

Li Ang, with his back to the direction of the coffin, was thoughtful. According to the mission description, the zombie to be eliminated was probably the old lady in the coffin who was starved to death by her own son.

But the task also states that the ones that need to be eliminated are "zombies" rather than "dead corpses", which means that the mission conditions must be met until the dead corpses come back to life - if you do it too early, you may trigger the zombies or other dead bodies in advance. Bad consequences.

In the eyes of villagers ABC, Li Ang, who plays the role of an ordinary villager, is wearing plain clothes, but in fact he is fully armed and can carry out individual combat at any time.

The debate just now made the already depressing hall even more silent. The four people appointed by the village to watch the night played cards round after round.

Suddenly, an undetectable "click" sounded in the great hall, which merged with the sound of the night wind blowing leaves outside the building.

Villager A, who was sitting directly opposite Li Ang, was holding up two poker cards and was about to play them, but his face suddenly changed. The poker cards held in mid-air trembled slightly, and panic was written in his eyes.

In his sight, the coffin lid of the coffin inside the great hall was slowly opening, and a thin arm covered with pale and long hair slowly stretched out from under the wooden board, pinching the coffin lid.

The coffin board made of wood is quite heavy, but in Bai Mao's arm, it looks as light as a feather.

The white-haired arm slowly, stiffly, smoothly, and lightly placed the coffin lid on the ground beside it. There was no sound during the whole process, and the silence was terrifying.

The cold current flowed down Villager A's back in an instant, and he let out an unknown sound of "ho ho ho" from his throat, looking forward, his eyes were about to burst.

The corpse of the old lady who had already turned black slowly stood up in the coffin like broken chopsticks.

Finger-long white hair covered her entire body, and she stared blankly at the four people who were playing cards in front of her with dry and empty eye sockets.

Villager A felt like getting an electric shock, dropped his poker in a panic, and said, "I...I'm going to go to the bathroom outside, are you coming?"

"What are you doing outside? It's so cold, let's find a bucket to solve it." Villager B said puzzledly. The four sat down in a cross shape, and from his position, no changes in the dead body could be seen.

"I'm afraid of the dark! Come with me!" Villager A roared in a low voice.

Villager C pouted, "No, I have to go by myself."

Villager A gritted his teeth, turned around and ran out of the hall, towards the place where the lights in the village flickered.
