Chapter 173 "Liao Zhai·Pear Planting"
Gudu Gudu——
The boiling water is boiling, and the steam pushes up the lid of the pot, making a "squeaking" sound.
Old man Zhang dug out some old-fashioned enamel iron cups.
Pour them hot boiling water.
The players held warm enamel cups and drank the steaming boiling water bit by bit.
This feeling is simply warming to the bones.
Moreover, there is a faint sweetness in this boiling water.
After a few players drank it, a prompt for a horror game popped up in front of them.
[Drinking snow mountain spring will enhance physical fitness by 0.001. 】
This unexpected surprise made them drink even more enthusiastically.
Want to trigger another physical improvement.
This snow-capped mountain is really a treasure right now.
Not only can you pick up scary props, but you can also drink tea to enhance your physical fitness.
Sure enough, the greater the risk, the greater the reward.
But unfortunately, this prompt only appears during the first few sips.
Moreover, not every player's physical fitness has been improved.
People like Su Ming and Zhan Shen have relatively strong physical fitness.
After drinking the tea, I didn't receive any more prompts.
Su Ming and Old Man Zhang got excited talking.
It can be seen that this old man Zhang is also very interested in chatting, probably because no one has been here for a long time.
Old Man Zhang: "...I know about your snow-climbing group."
"I remember a few years ago, people from your group came over."
"There was a young man there who impressed me deeply. He often said, 'No one will help me to reach the top of the mountain.'"
"It sounds quite impressive, he is a very energetic young man!"
"I don't know whether he succeeded in the end or whether he successfully reached the top of the mountain..."
"Speaking of which, why are all the people who come here going up the mountain? I've never seen any team go down the mountain?"
Old Man Zhang frowned slightly and seemed quite confused about this question.
Su Ming thought it was because all the teams that went up the mountain died on the mountain.
Where is the life to come down from the mountain?
Of course, he would not say this directly.
Su Ming: "There should be other special routes for going down the mountain."
"Just like us, the lines going up and down the mountain are different."
Old man Zhang suddenly realized: "So that's it! This explains it!"
"It's a shame I've been worried about this for a long time! Hahahahaha!!"
He looked out the window and said, "It's getting dark now."
"You might as well rest here for the night and wait until tomorrow morning to replenish firewood and continue climbing."
The players looked outside the hut, it was still broad daylight.
I really wanted to ask Old Man Zhang how he could tell that it was dark.
Su Ming responded directly: "Okay, I won't disturb Uncle Zhang tonight."
Since the bosses have said so, they have no objection.
It's quite comfortable to rest in such a warm wooden house for a while.
Put down the luggage on your back and spread out your bedding.
The players began to take a rest.
Su Ming reminded in a low voice: "No matter what happens later, you can open your eyes and watch, don't move, don't make a sound."
After hearing his words, the players' hearts suddenly lifted.
Could it be that something is going to happen later?
With such an uneasy feeling, I really couldn't sleep even if I wanted to.
At first, nothing happened.
Until the players relax their vigilance and are half asleep and half awake. Dong Dong Dong——
A heavy knock on the door woke them up completely.
But they still followed Su Ming's instructions and none of them made any sound.
I saw old man Zhang sitting up from the bed and rolling down.
Discredit the past and open the door.
His state was a bit strange, as if in his eyes, the surroundings had really entered the dark night.
He muttered: "It's so late, why is there still someone knocking on the door..."
After he opened the door.
The players who were watching over there had their pupils shrinking sharply, with surprise written all over their faces.
Standing outside the door were two familiar figures.
It was the two Lucheng players who had frozen to death that Su Ming and the others had just buried in the snow, namely Lao Wang and Brother Gou.

They stood outside the door, their eyes closed, their faces purple, and they didn't look alive at all.
There was still a lot of snow on his clothes, as if he crawled out of the snow on his own.
Seeing this, Old Man Zhang said, "I'm a guest from afar. Come in and have a seat."
With that said, he opened the door and welcomed the bodies of Lao Wang and Brother Gou in.
This kind of operation made the players tremble with fear.
The old man Zhang in front of him is indeed not a normal person.
A normal person would definitely be frightened when seeing such a weird scene. How could he let the other person in?
For a moment, this warm wooden cabin was filled with a strange atmosphere.
After letting them in, Lao Wang and Brother Gou lay down next to Zhang Tieshu.
Feeling the coldness beside him, Zhang Tieshu secretly complained in his heart, thinking that if you two brothers can't find anyone, why do you have to find me.
Old Man Zhang didn't say anything more, went back to bed and continued to sleep.
After a while, the knock on the door rang again.
He got out of bed again and opened the door, only to see several more frozen bodies appearing outside the door.
Old Man Zhang: "You heard that there are newcomers, so you came here to welcome them?"
"Okay, then I'll leave them to you to take care of them. Bring them into the new living environment as soon as possible."
"Well, they are inside, and there are a few of their companions, but they are still alive."
"You haven't been here for a long time. Come in and have a rest."
Immediately, several corpses walked in at the door.
They stood upright in front of Su Ming and the others, like tourists visiting animals in a zoo.
The temperature in the wooden house also began to slowly drop because of their presence.
Being looked at by several frozen corpses, the players felt their scalps numb and their whole bodies uncomfortable.
Those players who woke up remembered what Su Ming told them to pretend to be asleep and not make any sound. None of them made any sound. They simply calmed down and closed their eyes, out of sight and out of mind.
They had made up their mind that as long as Mr. Su Ming didn't call them, they would keep their eyes closed and not care what happened outside.
But as expected, something went wrong.
Among the ten players present, one fell asleep and was woken up by the gradually decreasing temperature in the cabin.
He opened his eyes and saw several stiff corpses staring directly at him. Suddenly his mind went blank and he said "fuck".
As soon as the words came out of his mouth, his face turned pale and he realized something was wrong.
However, it was no longer possible to swallow the words back.
The other players' hearts were also tightened, and they secretly cursed their pig teammates in their hearts.
But they still calmed down, remained motionless, and continued to pretend to be asleep, without even opening their eyes.
The player watched helplessly as several frozen corpses approached him.
Several cold hands pressed against his body, causing his consciousness to gradually blur.
However, before he died, he felt relieved when he saw that he was the only one in trouble and his teammates were not affected.
It can be considered a blessing in misfortune.
At least his mistake did not affect other players, otherwise it would be a shame to die.
