Chapter 244 The game begins
When the Ghost King saw that the child just vomited blood, everyone gathered around to show concern, and his determination to play the game became even more determined.
Everyone is like this and are very good at pretending in front of outsiders, but only they know what they are thinking in their hearts. Especially when facing life threats, how many people can give up themselves for others?
"I'm fine." Huo Xingchen looked a little sluggish, and his chest still hurt, but he didn't show it, but changed the subject and said: "It should be that when he was controlled before, the connection was planted."
He felt a little guilty, "I was negligent."
Gu Qingyin's eyes turned red with distress. She hugged Huo Xingchen tightly and kissed his forehead, "It's not your fault. It's mom who didn't protect you. Be good and don't be afraid. Mom won't let anything happen to you."
Huo Xingchen raised the corners of his lips and smiled sweetly, "I know, mom is the best."
The rest of the people looked distressed when they heard this, and looked at the Ghost King with anger in their eyes, wishing to tear him to pieces on the spot. However, due to the connection between him and Huo Xingchen, they were afraid to do anything.
"Despicable! Shameless! Don't..." Zhang Qiuyan cursed angrily, but when she thought of what the Ghost King had experienced during his lifetime, she couldn't even curse. For a moment, she despised her own softness and became even more angry.
After giving Huo Xingchen a simple treatment with a talisman, Gu Qingyin looked at the Ghost King coldly, "What do you want to do?"
"Don't worry, you will know soon..."
As the Ghost King's voice slowly fell, the scene in front of everyone changed again.
This is a very old village. The low wooden bungalows can be regarded as luxury houses. Most of the houses are made of stones and soil and seem to be in danger of collapse at any time.
The air was very dry, mixed with the stench of rotting meat. Most of the pedestrians on the roadside were sallow and thin, and they looked as dirty as if they had just rolled in the ground.
"Is this where the Ghost King lived during his lifetime?" Zhang Qiuyan looked around, "Is this a game scene? What exactly are you going to play?"
Dongfang Lingjun looked serious, "The game has begun."
"What?" As soon as Zhang Qiuyan finished asking, there was a gurgling sound from her stomach. She subconsciously held her stomach to resist the surging hunger.
Gu Qingyin hugged Huo Xingchen tightly and whispered: "The situational experience game, he wants us to feel the pain of not having food, and then... see what choices we make."
Zhang Qiuyan was stunned and subconsciously looked at Huo Xingchen. Did the Ghost King want to see if they would throw Huo Xingchen away too?
But how is that possible? They know this is a game.
Things about the game are almost sorted out.
Huo Yunjing said: "Find a place to live first, this game will not end so soon."
Walking along the road, you can see many empty houses. It can be seen that this famine has been going on for a while, maybe because of the drought in the land? Can’t grow food in the ground?
Finally finding an empty house that seemed clean and sturdy, Gu Qingyin drew a cleaning charm to remove dust from the room, and the others started to clean up the house very cooperatively.
Gu Qingyin hugged the sleepy Huo Xingchen and looked at the busy people inside and outside the house. She missed her little paper figures very much. When she goes back this time, she will make a few more paper figures. They are really useful. .
The house is not big. It has only one bedroom and is a large bunkhouse. It will not be a problem to sleep a few of them.
Huo Yunjing's storage bag contains sleeping bags for outdoor use, one for each person and some leftover.
When Gu Qingyin took the sleeping bag, she asked casually: "Did you bring anything to eat?"
Huo Yunjing paused, pursed his lips and said, "No." The items in his storage bag were all tools, and since he was not a foodie, he naturally wouldn't bring food with him.
Gu Qingyin was not surprised at all, it was in line with the character. She unfolded the sleeping bag and put Huo Xingchen in. Then she turned to Huo Yunjing and smiled, "Then please go to the mountain to find something to eat. When Xingchen wakes up, it's time to eat." With that, she took out the bag from her backpack. He took out a handful of painted talismans and said, "You can use it as you see fit. You don't have to save money. It's best to get meat."
Huo Yunjing took the talisman and turned around and left. He would definitely come back with his prey.
Outside, Dongfang Lingjun was taking Zhang Qiuyan to add reinforcement and defense formations to the house to prevent the hungry aborigines from "eating".
By the time the master and apprentice finished their work, the sun had already passed the center line and began to set in the west. Huo Yunjing, who had gone out to look for food, had not returned yet.
Dongfang Lingjun sat on the edge of the bed, smacking his lips as he looked at the sleeping Huo Xingchen, muttering, "I'm a little thirsty."
Gu Qingyin was shocked, and then realized that they had not found any water source along the way, and there was no such thing as running water in the house. If they wanted to drink water, they could only go outside to find it. Thinking of the extremely dry air, Gu Qingyin felt very Bad feeling.
"Please keep an eye on Huo Xingchen, I'll go outside to look for water."
Dongfang Lingjun and Zhang Qiuyan responded, signaling her to go without worries, but they didn't go too far.
Gu Qingyin went out and took a different route. After a long circuit, she found a well at the east end of the village. When she looked around, she found that it was dry.
This is the biggest problem. People can survive without food by chewing tree bark, but without water, they really can't survive for a few days.
No wonder there were so few people in the village. They either fled or died of thirst. Only a few people were left behind.

Gu Qingyin looked up at the cloudless blue sky, thinking about the possibility of praying for rain.
Compared with ordinary people, Celestial Masters have many more ways to solve problems. From the beginning of this game, the balance has been tilting in their favor.
On the way back, Gu Qingyin, who was alone, finally attracted the attention of the villagers.
She is really eye-catching, with fair skin and moist red lips. She looks like she is not lacking food or water, and she looks unfamiliar, so she must be from another country.
The refugees were watching, their eyes were cloudy, they didn't know what they were planning, only vaguely showing desire and... greed.
Gu Qingyin didn't care, nor was he afraid. They were just a group of dead things that were visualized from memory.
Halfway through, Gu Qingyin met Huo Yunjing who was returning from hunting.
This man will definitely not disappoint anyone. No matter where he is in the world, he is extremely reliable.
Huo Yunjing was holding two dead and plucked pheasants in his hands. The most striking thing was that the pheasants had obviously been cleaned.
Gu Qingyin's eyes brightened slightly, "Where did you find the water source?"
At this time, Huo Yunjing realized that there was no water source in the village. A trace of annoyance flashed in his eyes, and he pursed his lips and said nothing.
Gu Qingyin keenly noticed something was wrong, "Have you used up the water?"
Huo Yunjing felt guilty inexplicably and looked away: "No, but I can't drink anymore."
Gu Qingyin was silent. She wanted to take back her words. This person was sometimes unreliable.
