Chapter 188 Escape from the Horror Game (32)

Afterwards, Elina landed downwards and returned to the ground.

Looking at the bodies of Nayise and Quilan, there was a rare warmth in Elina's eyes. With a gentle wave of their arms, the two bodies were surrounded by colorful petals, gently holding them up and floating towards the manor.

Jiang Qiucheng stared at her leaving figure, unable to regain his consciousness for a long time.

Then, the scene in front of her seemed to be at double speed, and a series of subsequent events were quickly displayed before Jiang Qiucheng's eyes, leaving her dizzying.

The residents of the town initially chose to hide in their homes and did not dare to go out due to fear. However, when the chaos outside gradually subsided, some courageous residents began to cautiously go out to explore.

Although the town looks normal on the surface, people are afraid of the blood moon hanging in the sky and the lush rose garden in the center. Everyone made a tacit agreement to avoid that area and hurriedly packed their belongings to escape this frightening place.

But what makes them desperate is that there seems to be an invisible barrier that tightly traps them in the town, unable to take a step forward.

This feeling of being confined within a fixed range exacerbates people's panic. The series of events that followed pushed the town residents to a desperate situation and plunged them into unprecedented panic.

The town faced a severe shortage of food and water, or rather, the loss of food and water to eat and drink.

The once tempting toast has now become as hard as wood. The appearance seems unchanged and even exudes an alluring aroma, but it can no longer be swallowed. The clear spring water has turned into raging blood, exuding a The disgusting stench makes people nauseous; those tender and juicy vegetables seem to be stained with morning dew, but you can tell when you touch them that their texture is like paper, like a lifelike painting. It can be viewed but not eaten.

Hunger and thirst are cruel tests, and humans cannot endure their torture for long. As time went by, the residents of the town became skinny, their limbs were weak, and their faces lost their former rosiness, looking pale and haggard, no different from walking corpses.

Just when everyone was despairing, someone shouted.

"Everyone, come to the central square, I found a clean water source!"

Although there is still fear in the central square, this fear has been greatly weakened in the face of the strong desire to survive. Driven by unbearable thirst, people walked out of their homes one after another and trudged forward towards the central square.

When they arrived at the square, the scene before them seemed to be the same as before. There were a lot of sawdust scattered on the execution ground where Quilan was burned. The roses on the ground were still blooming beautifully. Under the light of the blood moon, their petals gradually became deep and mysterious, almost black.

"Where is Shuishui?"

The weak and confused people endured their physical fatigue and tried to move forward, hoping to find the hope of life in this seemingly peaceful square.

"Here! I saw it!" After one person discovered the water source first, he couldn't wait to summon other townspeople. Upon hearing the news, everyone rushed forward. After being short of water for a long time, everyone's reaction became sluggish and they had no time to study the origin of the water source.

In a corner of the square, a clear spring water flows quietly, like a bright eye, silently watching the surroundings. This spring is wide and deep, surrounded by soft pebbles and fine sand, exuding a natural and mysterious atmosphere.

The water is as calm as a mirror and the reflection is breathtaking. Although it is also under the blood moon, the spring water is not affected at all. Its color is light green, like a piece of emerald. The reflections of trees and blue sky are clearly visible on the water, creating a peaceful and vivid picture. The sunlight shines through the gaps in the leaves and sprinkles on the water surface, forming countless flashing light spots, which are as dazzling as diamonds set on the water surface.

Jiang Qiucheng naturally discovered the weirdness of this place, passed through the crowd, and stood next to the spring.

Within the spring, stones and plants are clearly visible, and they appear particularly vivid in the clear water. Tiny fish fry swim freely in the water, adding a touch of vitality to this quiet spring. The breeze blew, and the fine sand on the edge of the spring slid down like silk, making a soft sound.

At this moment, the surrounding world seemed to be frozen, and only the spring water and its gurgling sound were like an eternal poem, touching the heart. Even Jiang Qiucheng, an outsider, couldn't help but be moved when facing such clear spring water.

After experiencing a long period of torture, the consciousness of the residents of the town has become somewhat blurred. Their throats seemed to be burned by fire, and their dry tongues struggled to move in their mouths. Everyone's face revealed deep pain and despair.

A young man rushed up first. From the elegant suit he wore, it could be seen that he was once a gentleman who paid attention to etiquette and respectability, but now, these are no longer important. Thirst, fatigue and weakness were constantly attacking his body. Every cell was calling for moisture. He desperately needed water!

At such an extreme moment, who cares about the so-called elegance and manners? Those are all illusory things. Only living is the eternal pursuit.

He quickly stepped forward, held the clear spring water in his hands, and couldn't wait to put it into his mouth, letting the sweet liquid moisturize his dry throat.

"Gudong Gudong——"

The crowd around him couldn't help but watch his movements. As the water dropped slowly, it wetted his collar. The fabric of the shirt gradually became transparent and clung to his young skin. As if finding the restraint of the collar unpleasant, the young man tried to undo the buttons, eager to free his neck so that he could drink freely.

However, the more eager you are to quench your thirst, the harder things seem to go. He was troubled by the button on his collar, and his emotions gradually became agitated. In anger, he yanked hard and tore the collar to pieces. Then, like a wild animal, he buried his entire head deep in the water, enjoying himself Enjoy this rare moisture to relieve your inner anxiety and thirst.

Someone took the lead, and others followed suit.

A middle-aged man followed closely behind, eager to taste the sweet spring water. The clear spring flowed through his thirsty throat, bringing him unprecedented moisture and satisfaction. His excitement was beyond words, and he couldn't help but let out a cry full of ecstasy.

His face took on a unique brilliance and his tired eyes regained their vitality.
