Beside the busy street, a long-haired woman with a black backpack and a peaked cap stopped and looked up in the direction of downtown Sea City.

"Disappeared... In less than five minutes, the breaths of the two babies disappeared one after another. Who could have done it?" the woman murmured.

"First, the space system survivors with octopuses caused me to lose a dozen babies.

"Finally, this escapee with unknown talent ruined the little baby I just bred.

"Sea City is a terrible city."

The woman turned around, lowered the brim of her hat, covered the cruelty in her eyes, and walked in the same direction as when she came and went.

"After I grow the worm, I will use Sea City to commemorate my lost baby."

...

within the Authority.

Yi Xing, who was standing outside the window of the player's ward, paused suddenly and looked back.

In the aisle behind him, medical staff in white coats hurried past from time to time. His eyes seemed to pass through the passing crowd, through the plain white walls, looking out of the management office, and at the continuous flow of people on the street.

After a while, Yi Xing looked away, his eyes full of thought.

It seemed that smelled a familiar fragrance just now, but when smelled it carefully, couldn't smell anything anymore.

Since he couldn't smell it, he simply stopped thinking about it, opened the door and walked into the ward.

An Wumeng was still in the ward, and the plain hospital bed was full of snacks and toys. The player grabbed the potato chips in the bag with one hand and gnawed happily, and stretched his hand to the side, asking An Wumeng to bandage her.

Sure enough, coaxing children still depends on professionals.

An Wumeng turned his head when he heard the sound, and when he saw Yi Xing, some anticipation rose in his eyes.

"How about it?"

As a dreamer with spiritual talent, An Wumeng can clearly perceive the mental state of the people around him.

Before being pushed into the ward by Yi Xing, he found that the player's condition has stabilized and his memory will not continue to fade.

The situation of the player can be stabilized, does it mean that the priest can also...

Yi Xing narrowed his eyes and entered the food protection state.

"The Gu insects are all wiped out."

He said "destroy", not "take out".

When it came to the food in his hand, there was no way he would hand it over.

"Really?!" An Wumeng could hardly restrain her joyful expression.

"En." Yi Xing was not guilty.

One has been devoured to the point where there are only a few balls of spiritual energy left, and the other is still in the space, and will disappear completely after lunch. The difference between left and right is only a few hours, which is not a lie.

"Okay, thanks to you!" An Wumeng got up and patted Yi Xing on the shoulder, and said boldly: "You saved two members of the management bureau, tell me, what reward do you want?"

Those two Gu worms are the best reward.

But Yi Xing has already said that the Gu worms have been eliminated, it is impossible to say that the Gu worms are rewards, so he had to say:

"I don't have anything I need right now. I'll tell you when I have something I want later."

In the future, if you encounter other food in the management bureau, you can just use this reward to offset it.

"Okay, if you think about it, just tell me that as long as I can give you, I will give you an application if I can't." An Wumeng was really happy.

He thought that the best result would be to temporarily suppress the Gu worms, but he didn't expect Yi Xing to be able to solve the problem completely.

Yi Xing responded, looked at the person on the hospital bed, and said:

"I still have something to give the player."

An Wumeng stepped aside.

The player didn't seem to know that he was talking about himself, he was stunned when he saw him looking over, and quickly raised the potato chips, saying:

"Brother, eat, I won't cry, can you not go?"

"What about me?" An Wumeng said deliberately: "I was busy with you, bought food and play, and bandaged your wounds, but you didn't give me anything."

The player paused in front of Yi Xing holding the potato chips. Seeing him shaking his head, he turned to An Wumeng with some regret, "Then... Uncle, you can eat too."

uncle……

An Wumeng had a mouthful of old blood choked in her throat.

How many years older is he than Yi Xing - how old is he before he is ten years old - how can Yi Xing be an uncle when he is a big brother?

While the player was talking to An Wumeng, Yi Xing stepped forward and touched the top of the player's head with his fingertips.

Three groups of spiritual energy flowed into the player's body along his fingers.

This is the remaining spiritual energy of the Gu worm, he deliberately kept it and did not devour it.

If the Gu worms still have the player's memory, it could only be these clusters of mental energy.

The player knocked his eyes and fell backwards.

"Player?" An Wumeng caught her and was relieved to find that she had fallen asleep.

He raised his head and asked Yi Xing, "What did you give her?"

"The remaining spiritual energy of the Gu insect."

There's nothing can't say about this, it's just some mental energy, even if it's not her memory, it won't cause any harm to her... Probably?

An Wumeng was similar to what Yi Xing thought.

"It's really the only way to have her memory back."

He took the potato chips from the player's hand, let her lie down, covered her with a quilt, and cleaned up the scattered snack toys.

Yi Xing watched him tidy up.

Since he has the high-energy food produced in the paradise, his need for ordinary food is much smaller.

"Aren't there any other survivors who were planted with Gu worms here?" Yi Xing asked.

"No," An Wumeng sighed in a low voice, "The dungeon, only the two of them came out alive."

He stared at the sleeping player and said:

"If it wasn't for the fact that the player just drew a space card, and the priest has a healing talent, the superposition of the two phases has delayed a lot of time, and I'm afraid they would have to stay in it."

Yi Xing didn't know what to say for a while.

Most of the survivors will find suitable teammates before the end of the monthly dungeon countdown. When the dungeon is about to open, they will form a team and enter the dungeon together.

This time the dungeon started ahead of schedule, and the survivors couldn't cope in time, and some casualties were foreseeable.

But Yi Xing did not expect the casualties to be so heavy.

Five people entered the dungeon, and only two survived.

If he fails to take out the Gu worm in time, the priest will always think that he is a snake until the energy is absorbed by the Gu worm and dies.

The player's memory will gradually disappear until he becomes an ignorant baby, and will eventually die.

"Why is the dungeon suddenly advanced?" Yi Xing asked.

He came out of the dungeon yesterday afternoon, and now the countdown on his screen shows 14.

You must know that this is his own copy, rather than teaming up to enter someone else's copy, the countdown will not inherit the previous one, but reset it.

The countdown after reset is 15 days, halved from the previous 30 days.

"I can't answer that question for you."

An Wumeng said: "Actually, this is not the first time the dungeon has been advanced. To be more precise, the interval between dungeons in Paradise has been shortening."

"Hundreds of years ago, "Infinite Paradise" already existed. Do you know how long the dungeons of Paradise were at that time?" An Wumeng asked.

Yi Xing knew that An Wumeng had committed the old habit of loving to teach others again, so he said directly, "I don't know."

"One year." An Wumeng gave the answer, "Survivors at that time only needed to participate in the instance once a year."

"It's been so long..." Yi Xing didn't know whether he should be thankful that he was born late and was bound late.

Otherwise, he would only be able to enter the dungeon once a year to find food. Even if he counted the opportunity to team up with other survivors, he would not be able to enter the dungeon several times under the premise of once a year. He would have to starve every day.

"Fortunately, when I was bound by Paradise, the dungeon interval has become one month." Yi Xing whispered.

An Wumeng gave him a surprised look, suspecting that she had heard wrong.

Perhaps what Yi Xing said was not "it's okay" but "it's a pity"?

"Now the dungeon interval has been reduced to half a month." An Wumeng didn't want to hit him, but had to say.

Yi Xing was not shocked at all, and immediately thought of the future.

"If it continues like this, will it become once a week? Once a day?"

An Wumeng sighed heavily, "It's possible."

"Why does the interval keep shrinking?" Back to the original question.

An Wumeng still shook her head, "The administration has been investigating the reason, but unfortunately, there is no accurate conclusion."

The shortened dungeon interval may mean more opportunities for Yi Xing to obtain food.

But for more survivors and hunters, it means more frequent collisions.

Whether it is the side that survives or the side that hunts down, they will use their talents more frequently.

As long as you can survive, you will become stronger.

Not to mention the points that can be obtained after each customs clearance copy.

The shortening of the dungeon interval means that the number of dungeons that need to be experienced within a certain period of time will be doubled. As long as the level can be passed, the points obtained will also be doubled.

"Paradise" seems to be urging those with abilities to fight and grow. The stronger one swallows the weaker to survive, and then continues to fight and devour other survivors.

It's a bit like... Raising Gu.

The difference is that it is divided into two camps, the hunters and the survivors. At first glance, it looks like the survivors have been slaughtered unilaterally.

Think about it carefully, but something is wrong.

"The survivor who obtained the 'key' is considered to have successfully passed the level. Does the success of the survivor mean the failure of the hunter?" Yi Xing asked suddenly.

An Wumeng didn't expect him to ask this suddenly, so she was taken aback for a moment before replying, "Of course."

"Should hunters be punished for failure?" Yi Xing asked.

"The points are deducted first, and when there are no more points to deduct, they will disappear. However, there have also been hunters who reappeared after disappearing for a period of time. That is a..."

An Wumeng frowned slightly, her expression was complicated, as if she didn't know how to describe it.

"A complete lunatic, monster, demon..."

Sounds delicious.

Yi Xing felt that it was not good to think about eating at this time, so he hurriedly drove out all thoughts related to "eating" from his mind, which made his brain blank for a few seconds, and it took a while for new thoughts to appear.

"Actually, survivors can also 'kill' hunters."

It's just that most of the 'kills' of the survivors were bloodless killings, and every survivor who cleared the level was a slow knife to the hunter.

It was so painful, so pitiful.

Yi Xing thought to himself.

He really hoped that he could save all the hunters who had been cut by the slow knife, give them a happy feeling with one knife, and let them be relieved in his stomach.

Thinking of this, Yi Xing was hungry again.

An Wumeng just packed up the hospital bed, and said to Yi Xing: "The player won't be able to wake up for a while, so I'll take you to see the house first."

Yi Xing naturally agreed.

Half an hour later, An Wumeng and Yi Xing got off the car in front of a sea view villa.

Seeing the empty private beach and the vast sea, Yi Xing was 100% satisfied with this residence.

You can let the baby octopus out for a while. It’s not good to always shrink down and stay in the "mandarin duck pot", which is not conducive to the physical development of the cubs.

Yi Xing transferred the 300 points through the light screen and the owner of the villa, and went through the simplified procedures accompanied by An Wumeng, and the beach villa was considered his.

After sending An Wumeng away, Yi Xing entered the villa and smelled a familiar fragrance.

He looked along the scent, and in a bright room surrounded by glass on three sides, a tall man was lying on a spacious sofa, covering himself with a blanket.

As if sensing Yi Xing's gaze, the man gathered the thin blanket on his body, sighed and said:

"A dog without the owner's love and care, can only prepare a small nest by itself, alas..."
