Infinite: Dawn Game

"You're back? Isn't our Changsheng Village beautiful?"

The old man who had warmly invited Lin Feng was the village chief. The sound of the door opening interrupted Lin Feng's chaotic thoughts.

She quickly composed herself and smiled.

"The village is beautiful, and I feel like my mind has been cleansed a lot."

The old village chief, who looked to be in his eighties or nineties, coughed a few times, a look of pride on his face.

"That's right, our place is a famous tourist destination! Many people say it's very clean! If you ask me, this Changsheng Village is perfect for a long stay!"

As he spoke, the old village chief patted Lin Feng on the shoulder and said cheerfully:

"It would be great if you could stay a few more days after the ritual is over."

The old village chief's words were quite good; he seemed to be simply looking out for the benefits of Changsheng Village's tourism development. But for some reason, Lin Feng felt a chill run down her spine.

This inexplicable feeling is very strange.

She frowned slightly, glanced at the surrounding mud houses from an angle unnoticed by the old village chief, and suddenly spoke:

"Village chief, how many elderly people are there in our Changsheng Village?"

The old village chief was still smiling. He seemed to have thought about it carefully for a moment, then sighed.

“There are no young people left in our Changsheng Village now; they've all gone out to work. Only 20 of us old people are left here. We have difficulty walking and our eyesight isn't good, so even cleaning is difficult for us…”

Lin Feng listened quietly. Just as she was about to say something, she saw the old village chief suddenly turn his head to look at her, his cloudy, yellowish eyes unmoving.

"Girl, why don't you come inside and rest for a while? Our Changsheng Village isn't very peaceful at night."

Lin Feng immediately became alert. Under the old village chief's "warm hospitality," she went back into the house and had a decent meal before being led to the bedroom by the old village chief.

After the enthusiastic old village chief left, Lin Feng finally had time to observe her surroundings.

It was a bedroom filled with a lot of things. There were many things around, such as papers and blankets that the old man had stored, as well as some tattered clothes that he couldn't bear to throw away... The only clean and tidy thing was the bed that was made very neatly.

Lin Feng guessed that the old village chief had specially prepared this room for tourists to stay in.

But that thought vanished the moment Lin Feng took off her shoes and got into bed.

Nothing else.

Besides the earthy smell unique to Changsheng Village, there was also a musty, decaying stench emanating from the old man on this bed.

It's very faint, but not undetectable.

The old village chief hadn't moved houses; this bed seemed to be the one he usually slept in.

When the strange noise occurred, Lin Feng's thoughts immediately stopped, and her hand under the blanket clenched into a fist almost instantly.

In the dim light from the partially obscured windows, faint, sloshing sounds of slime could be heard from every dark corner of the bedroom.

hiss--

Hiss--

As those sounds rang out, Lin Feng suddenly opened her eyes, sat up, and leaned against the wall. Her normally indifferent eyes darted around rapidly, scanning her surroundings.

The next second, countless tiny pink earthworm larvae emerged from the damp soil in the corner and wriggled rapidly toward the bed in the center!

Before long, Lin Feng was completely surrounded by earthworm larvae.

The pain of her fingernails digging deep into her palms calmed Lin Feng down.

Her innate skills are probably useless for offense at this moment, but if these earthworms are targeting her body...

Lin Feng closed her eyes briefly, her lips trembling slightly.

The talent skill "Blood Regeneration" is in use.

The next second, a bloodstain appeared on the blanket covering Lin Feng, which quickly grew larger and spread until it completely soaked the blanket!

Wang Rui, who was watching Lin Feng intently in front of the screen, suddenly stood up, staring intently at Lin Feng's almost desperate move, and murmured:

"The skill of blood production is mostly only applicable to support roles... Is Sister Feng trying to use a feint?"

But it's still too risky. If those earthworms weren't there for Lin Feng's body, all of Lin Feng's current actions will only lead him into an even more hopeless situation.

...Lin Feng, having lost so much blood, definitely didn't have the strength to escape this bedroom filled with earthworm larvae!

Wang Rui was extremely anxious, but she could only wait anxiously in front of the screen, unable to do anything about it.

Players die every day in Dawn Games, including many of the surveillance team players she knows well, not just Lin Feng, but others as well.

Wang Rui bit her lower lip, her eyes filled with countless screens broadcasting simultaneously. She couldn't keep an eye on Lin Feng alone; she also had to keep an eye on the other monitoring team players who were playing the game.

Everything will be alright... Sister Feng is clearly very capable...

We clearly agreed to catch up with Brother Lu.

Wang Rui prayed silently in her heart while distracted by watching other live streams.

At the same time, Lin Feng's face turned deathly pale on the bed.

She licked her pale, bluish lips, and just as the earthworm larvae were about to wriggle to the foot of the bed, she forcefully threw the blanket, soaked with her own blood, onto the ground.

In an instant, the earthworm larvae were covered by a blanket of scarlet blood. Accompanied by the dripping sound of mucus and blood, the earthworm larvae made a pleasant hissing sound.

Outside the bedroom door, the old village chief sat under the shady eaves, a satisfied and happy expression on his deeply wrinkled face. Then, his wrinkled face gradually became smooth, but only for a few seconds before it returned to its decaying state.

"It tastes good..."

The old village chief spoke softly, humming a cheerful tune, but his ever-changing expression was utterly terrifying.

This scene was only visible to players outside the instance; players inside the instance were completely unaware of it.

In the bedroom.

Lin Feng, lying on the bed, breathed a brief sigh of relief when the earthworm larvae were attracted to the blanket. She tried her best to pull her numb and weak legs back, then hugged her knees and watched the group of earthworm larvae sucking blood from the blanket with their mouthparts.

No, it shouldn't be an earthworm larva.

It's not an illusion.

Lin Feng stared at the earthworms that had begun to bite through the blanket, gliding over their noticeably larger, plump bodies.

The earthworm larvae, which were originally pink, began to grow. Their pink bodies gradually turned into a light purplish-red color. The ciliary band in the middle of their bodies contracted continuously as they ate, and finally stopped moving when they were full.

Lin Feng's face turned even paler. She stared intently at the earthworms, this time focusing on their mouthparts, which clearly had grown more fine, sharp teeth.

It looks a lot like the giant earthworms on the riverbank.

They all have poor eyesight and hearing, and their bodies are gradually turning purplish-red... The only difference is that their bodies are still too small, like slightly larger earthworms—

Lin Feng suddenly looked up.

Something suddenly occurred to her.
