章 41: Re-enter the Game：Village Carnival 16
"Nannan!" Zhang Yuan waved vigorously from a distance, running excitedly towards her.
At a glance, Zhang Yuan recognized Wen Nannan's figure. He had been wandering around the cliff and the foot of the mountain for the past two days, unable to find any trace of Wen Nannan and Li An. He was about to go down to the foot of the mountain again when he unexpectedly encountered her on the road.
"Brother Yuan!" Wen Nannan was also happy to reunite with Zhang Yuan smoothly.
"Haha, you're fine! Don't say anything, just come with me."
Zhang Yuan glanced at the two children crawling on the ground and frowned, worried that Wen Nannan might feel sorry for them.
In the late game, this is the scariest thing. People driven mad by hunger will do anything. Would they spare living people?
Wen Nannan only paused for a moment, then quickly shifted her gaze away.
Yes, she couldn't help them.
Just as they were about to leave, the two children spotted them.
Their eyes, like wolves starved for days suddenly fixed on a fat lamb, turned wild and red, staring at Wen Nannan and Zhang Yuan.
Wen Nannan and Zhang Yuan exchanged glances, both seeing the same word in each other's eyes.
Run!
There was no wind today.
In the sweltering summer heat, the trees that should have provided shade on the back of the mountain had been devoured completely.
Strangely, the two children, using both hands and feet, were running at a speed comparable to Wen Nannan and Zhang Yuan.
Perhaps driven by hunger, the two children continued to chase relentlessly, making strange groaning sounds in their throats, and their saliva flowed uncontrollably to the corners of their mouths.
But over time, the difference in their stamina became apparent.
Zhang Yuan was okay, but Wen Nannan wasn't so lucky.
Several times, she felt a cold sensation behind her, as if being watched by a wild beast.
The two children were very clever, or perhaps they had developed an animal instinct in this disaster-stricken environment.
They could clearly sense that Wen Nannan was easier to deal with than Zhang Yuan, so they focused on chasing after her.
The distance between them was slowly closing.
Three meters, two meters, one meter.
Finally... ten centimeters.
Wen Nannan could even hear the sound of the children's saliva dripping onto the ground behind her, and the occasional stray hair caught by something behind her.
But she couldn't stop.
Stopping meant certain death.
Suddenly, Wen Nannan's foot slipped. There were too many loose stones on the ground.
She flew straight out with great force, scraping her exposed skin against the ground, leaving bloody streaks, before finally stopping.
Wen Nannan felt dizzy, her legs ached so badly that she couldn't move. Worst of all, she seemed to have broken a bone.
The two drooling children were still approaching, especially after seeing the blood from her wound. They were even more excited.
Silence.
The scene froze, capturing the grinning faces of the two children from Fuguo Town. But the next moment...
Bang! One child's head was smashed by a large rock. The attacker had clearly used a lot of force.
It was Zhang Yuan.
When Zhang Yuan realized that Wen Nannan hadn't kept up, he turned back. Taking advantage of the moment when the two children were attracted by the blood, he successfully carried out a sneak attack.
The other child, who had been looking greedy a moment ago, suddenly changed his expression. Perhaps intimidated by Zhang Yuan's strength, he slowly backed away and turned to flee.
Zhang Yuan didn't chase him. He threw down the rock and crouched down to look at Wen Nannan's injury.
"How are you?"
"Not good. I think I have broken a bone."
"Let's get out of here first. Let's go!" With that, Zhang Yuan hoisted Wen Nannan onto his back and strode away.
Even though she was carried on Zhang Yuan's back, Wen Nannan still couldn't stop coughing. As expected, her weak physique hadn't changed in the game.
Just then, "Buzz."
A faint sound came from afar. Although it wasn't clear, it was still possible to sense the sheer number of those making the sound.
The source of the sound was moving quickly, gradually coming closer, and the feeling of vibration in the air became more intense.
The locusts are coming in force! The major locust outbreak.
Wen Nannan didn't need to think to know what the locust plague meant for the last ten days of the game.
In just a moment, locusts flew over from both the summit and the foot of the mountain.
After breeding throughout the early and middle stages of the game, the number of locusts has become extremely vast, enough to cover the entire Fuguo Town and the sky over the back of the mountain.
"Their flying speed has increased. I guess they're not picky eaters anymore. We have to find somewhere to hide quickly," Wen Nannan said, her face changing.
At the same time, she thought of the cave she had just escaped from, and a chill ran down her spine. If they had stayed there for two more hours, she would have died in the cave with Li An.
Zhang Yuan didn't respond, just ran as hard as he could.
Escaping with someone on your back will definitely be slower than escaping alone, but in all fairness, Zhang Yuan couldn't leave Wen Nannan behind.
He saw a pile of rubble ahead.
Wen Nannan recognized it at a glance. This was the location of the stream on the mountainside, but now, for some reason, the stream had dried up.
In the early stages of the game, Wen Nannan had stored water there.
"Brother Yuan, there's a hole in the ground ahead. It's behind the biggest rock."
Wen Nannan pointed in a weak direction, then turned her head to look back.
There were no locusts following them, but she still wasn't letting her guard down.
The hole in the ground ahead was also relatively hidden. Wen Nannan had discovered it when she went up the mountain to store supplies before the locust plague started.
But in the end, she decided the mountainside location was too exposed, and the hole didn't have as good lighting as the cave, so she gave up and chose the cave on the summit.
But now, the hole in the ground has served its purpose.
