章 37: Re-enter the Game：Village Carnival 12
While Wen Nannan and Li An were locked in a stalemate, Zhang Yuan arrived.
Zhang Yuan was slightly nearsighted and couldn't see the situation clearly from a distance, but he could still guess the basic situation.
According to Li An, NPC Wen Nannan was a special player. With her small frame, how could she possibly defeat Li An, who was both strong and ruthless?
But when he walked closer and saw the scene before him, he stopped in his tracks.
He wasn't very bright, but he wasn't a bad person. He knew Li An well enough to understand that if Wen Nannan were caught, she wouldn't have a good time. He was just a pawn for Li An to scout, and he wouldn't even escape the fate of being a food reserve.
Zhang Yuan, who had long wanted to get rid of him, realized this might be his chance! So, he secretly pulled out a dagger from behind...
"Brother Li, I'll help you." As Zhang Yuan approached from Li An's left rear, he swung the dagger, aiming for his back.
Li An might seem gentle, but he was actually the most cunning. Even facing the silly Zhang Yuan, he was still on guard. As a result, Zhang Yuan's confident strike was dodged, only leaving a long cut on Li An's ribs.
"Damn it! Zhang Yuan!! I was really wrong about you. They say the dog that bites doesn't bark, and you're truly a good dog!" Li An exclaimed angrily.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Wen Nannan joined forces with Zhang Yuan.
Li An, clutching his wound, glared at them resentfully, "You'll pay for this!"
Before Wen Nannan and Zhang Yuan could react, Li An quickly disappeared into the forest.
Li An ran away.
But Wen Nannan and Zhang Yuan didn't chase him. An injured man in a time of scarcity, his fate was obvious. He was not worth their attention anymore.
...
Li An stumbled into a secluded part of the forest. It had originally been a grassy area, but now there was no sign of any vegetation growing there.
But it made sense.
The hungry townspeople even stripped the bark from the trees to make soup. There was no way they would have left any lush weeds untouched.
Li An pressed on his wound, weakly falling to the ground. He needed to find a safe place to bandage his wound and regain his strength as soon as possible.
Thinking of Zhang Yuan's betrayal, Li An clenched his teeth in anger. He should have chosen to kill Zhang Yuan in the first place.
He had spent his whole life chasing geese, only to have one peck his eye out.
But Li An knew better than anyone that, in his injured state, facing two opponents, even an experienced player wouldn't have a chance of winning. Escaping and then seeking revenge later was the right decision.
"Are you... Teacher Li?"
The old voice, with a hint of doubt, interrupted Li An's thoughts but kindled a flicker of hope for survival.
Li An looked up. A familiar face took shape from the blurry outline. It was the mayor of Fuguo Town, looking gaunt and haggard after the locust plague.
He mustered his last ounce of strength and crawled towards the mayor, his voice barely audible in the wind.
"Give me some food and water. I have a very important discovery to tell you..."
...
Day 16 of the game.
Wen Nannan and Zhang Yuan formed a locust extermination team.
After Wen Nannan's explanation and persuasion, Zhang Yuan was greatly shocked and resolutely chose to cooperate with her.
The two avoided NPCs whenever possible, moving through the forest. Since they had the spatial item, food and water were not a problem. Their main concern now was finding fuel. But this could only be obtained from other players.
But apart from Li An, who was hiding somewhere unknown, they didn't know if anyone else was still alive.
At that moment, a female player appeared in front of them.
"It's Xu Fang! She must have what we need!" Zhang Yuan whispered excitedly.
And so, Wen Nannan and Zhang Yuan, one in front and the other behind, blocked her path.
"Robbery. Hand over all your fuel."
"All my supplies are in my bag. You can search for it yourself."
Under the eaves, you have to bow your head.
Xu Fang glanced at Wen Nannan in frustration. She remembered that this girl was an NPC in the town.
But how did she survive until now?
It didn't matter anymore.
Xu Fang collapsed on the ground, waiting for her inevitable fate.
She had seen those players robbed by others. After their resources are stolen, they can't escape death.
The images in Xu Fang's mind kept changing, and her breath gradually weakened.
But soon after finding what she needed, Wen Nannan exchanged a look with Zhang Yuan. Then, the two walked away in unison.
They're just leaving?
Xu Fang found it unbelievable.
She struggled to pick up her bag and was even more surprised to find that the food and water inside were untouched.
They didn't take her food or water, and they didn't harm her. She was relieved in any case.
Fuel was important, but not as important as her life.
Zhang Yuan obediently held the firewood he had collected, the thick wooden logs towering above his head. They swayed and bumped in the air with their unsteady steps.
Wen Nannan helped him steady the firewood on his head, which was about to fall, and continued towards the back of the mountain.
