Chapter 684: Abnormal Change

“Did you really think this is still our original world?”

Lolita pointed toward the direction of the farm, her expression somewhat deranged. “No! It certainly isn’t anymore… The entire world might already be filled with those kinds of monsters!”

Charles remained silent.

Earlier, he had complained about the god arbitrarily dropping them in the wilderness, but now it seemed like this was actually a privilege for new recruits.

“That was… rabies? Perhaps only that one family…”

Jieling’s voice trembled, her expression dazed, clearly still unable to recover from the recent shock.

But her words trailed off halfway, after all, the situation was too bizarre and brutal, and it didn’t seem like rabies at all.

By now, she had somewhat come to believe that this indeed was the vampire zombie world described by the god.

“Damn it! Damn it!”

The last one, Beqi, was agitated as he clutched his shoulder. “I need to go to the hospital, wash the wound immediately. I don’t want to end up looking like that!”

Hearing his words, the surrounding people instinctively took several steps back.

“What are you afraid of?”

Beqi muttered discontentedly. “Even if it is rabies, it wouldn’t have developed this quickly, right?”

“You still think… this is rabies?”

Lolita said in a hushed tone, then looked at Charles and earnestly suggested, “For our safety, I suggest we tie him up and observe his reaction!”

“This…”

Looking at Beqi’s bulky physique and alert expression, Charles couldn’t help but smile bitterly. “Forget it!”

“Now, we definitely can’t go to that damned farm anymore!”

He pondered, having learned to think from the perspective of a reincarnator. “As long as we don’t appear within the sight of those… monsters, there won’t be a big problem. Therefore, this small grove is still the best hiding spot. The god only requires us to survive for three days…”

“That’s true… but there is the issue of food and clean water. Food is manageable, after all, it’s only three days, but water sources…”

Lolita glanced around.

“It’s okay. There’s a lot here that we can eat! And there will be water sources too…”

Beqi tore off his shirt and simply bandaged his wound, then immediately displayed his value. “I’m a chef, and I love wilderness survival. I’ve participated in some clubs. As long as you listen to me, surviving in the wild for a few days won’t be a problem.”

“For us right now, you are the biggest threat!”

Lolita said coldly.

“What did you say?”

Beqi’s face turned red with anger.

“I’m just stating the facts, and also…” Lolita’s icy gaze swept around. “To survive and complete the god’s task, I’m willing to pay any price. Don’t stand in my way, otherwise…”

“This woman is crazy!”

For some reason, although furious, when Beqi met Lolita’s gaze, he somehow softened and muttered discontentedly a few times but did not escalate the conflict further.

Needless to say, Beqi’s wilderness survival experience wasn’t just bragging.

The group moved away from the farm, found a suitable campsite that was also near a water source, and Beqi even found many white mushrooms with obvious bug bite marks on them. After roasting, they smelled delicious and managed to fill everyone’s stomachs.

Lolita remained cold and aloof, her eyes fixed on Beqi, while Jieling seemed completely out of it, forcing Charles to take on more responsibilities.

“I think… we should still check nearby farms or villages…”

Under the cover of night, Beqi nibbled on mushrooms and complained. “Perhaps… the monsters are only at that one place? Our first priority should be to stay away from danger!”

Thinking about the terrifying monsters, even Charles and Lolita had no objections.

Late at night, Charles was suddenly awakened by a nudge.

“Quick, look!”

A woman leaned close to his ear, her voice low and soft, her hair carrying a faint fragrance.

“It’s Lolita!”

Charles hadn’t slept well to begin with, and now he was instantly wide awake.

By the bright moonlight, he immediately saw a horrifying sight.

Leaning against a large tree, Beqi, who should have been asleep, was in a very strange state, with large beads of cold sweat dripping from his forehead.

“He’s sick!”

Charles stepped forward and touched his forehead. The scorching temperature almost made him think he was touching a piece of freshly baked meat.

“He has a high fever. We must find a doctor immediately!”

“Find a doctor? Are you joking?”

Lolita sneered. “Once we leave the cover of this forest, what will we use to hide from those monsters’ sight? Besides, where around here is there a doctor?”

A series of questions immediately left Charles speechless.

Seeing his silence, Lolita suddenly stepped forward, holding a sharpened stick in her hand.

“What are you doing?”

Charles exclaimed in surprise.

“Obviously, to kill him!” Lolita said matter-of-factly. “You wouldn’t want Beqi to turn into the monster we saw during the day, right?”

“But… he hasn’t turned yet…”

Charles’s tone and voice clearly lacked conviction. “Besides… Beqi is a good person. Think about it, after you said those harsh words tonight, he still shared some mushrooms with you…”

“He might be a good person, but a monster isn’t!”

Lolita obviously insisted on her opinion.

“Idiot!”

A low voice came from the side, a dark shadow darted out, grabbed the stick, and stabbed it into Beqi’s chest.

Puh!

Blood splattered, landing on the killer.

“Jielling… you…”

Charles looked in shock at Jielling, who had seemed so dazed and lost, holding the stick and having just stabbed Beqi in the chest, covered in hot blood.

“He’s not Beqi anymore, he’s a monster! I must avenge Daniel!”

Jielling opened her mouth, revealing a smile that chilled Charles to the bone.

“Crazy! Everyone’s crazy! This world is crazy too!”

He muttered, looking as if he had lost his soul.

At that moment, an unexpected change occurred!

“Ahh… ahh!”

Beqi, who should have already been dead, suddenly opened his eyes, revealing a scarlet glow.

He lunged forward, seemingly unaffected by the severe wound on his chest, and immediately pinned Jielling to the ground, then opened his bloodied mouth and bit down without hesitation.

Puh! Blood splattered! Jielling didn’t even have time to scream before her throat was torn open.

“He really turned into a monster, and it’s not even been a day yet…”

Charles looked at Jielling’s corpse, unsure of his own feelings, but his first thought was this.

“We’re in big trouble!”

He murmured, suddenly feeling the urge to give up.

“Indeed, we have trouble…”

But at this moment, Lolita tugged at his sleeve. “Look around…”

In the depths of the once-dark forest, several pairs of scarlet glowing eyes had appeared without notice, identical to Beqi’s eyes, surrounding them like a pack of hunting wolves.

“Quickly!”

Lolita handed the stick to Charles. “Just like during the day, while Jielling distracts them, we must escape quickly!”

“Run!”

They exchanged a glance and immediately rushed out, though seemingly by accident, they chose different directions.

“Ahh!”

Amidst the chilling screams, the scarlet lights in the darkness immediately began their pursuit.

Charles suddenly realized something; the monsters’ primary target was clearly Jielling, who was already incapacitated on the ground, followed by Lolita, and finally himself.

It seemed that he was somewhat less important in their perception.

Seeing this, he immediately thought of the “pathetic aura” in his attribute list. Obviously, this passive ability, which sounded so ridiculous and strange, had unexpected effects.

“Perhaps, by relying on it, I can survive in this world?”

Charles ran quickly, and a strong desire to survive suddenly filled his heart.

“Steward!”

In the divine space, numerous screens floated before Wu Ming, with Charles’s figure clearly visible among them. “Display the current mission progress!”

[This time, a total of fifty reincarnators were recruited, divided into ten teams, all deployed into the mission world. Currently, 17 have died!]

The steward immediately displayed the relevant data. Wu Ming was not surprised to see that the greatest losses were in the vampire zombie world he had created on a whim.

The other two historical replicas and the illusion space, because they had a basis in reality, allowed those reincarnators to quickly accept and find their positions.

But the vampire zombie world was Wu Ming’s original creation, immediately proving to be a disaster.

Most reincarnators were infected as soon as they encountered zombies, and the transmission characteristics quickly led to the complete annihilation of other teammates with weak defenses.

“It seems the difficulty of this world is still a bit too high. I should adjust the zombies’ speed and the infection time…”

Wu Ming stroked his chin. “Of course, the biggest problem is their distrust or complete ignorance of the god space. They don’t even believe in the mission, let alone seek out side quests…”

He concluded, “The dissemination is still insufficient… If it were my previous life, with the bombardment of so many novels, they should know what to do as soon as they entered the god space.”

True reincarnators were warriors tempered through countless trials, but the initial attrition rate was still very high, often due to their first mission.

Therefore, creating a guiding mission where veteran reincarnators could guide newcomers, trying to prevent them from dying in their first world, was also quite necessary.

In addition, there was the matter of promotion in real life.

For example, writing a novel about the god space and reincarnation missions and publishing it might be a good idea?
