Vol.4 - Chapter 15 – There should be undead in the cave

The next morning, it was still cloudy.

The dark clouds gradually gathered over the Undead Island, indicating that it would rain soon.

In the evening, all the recordings in Yu Xing's camera were taken away and carefully studied. Wu Runhao didn't believe that the experimenters in the team would be inexplicably replaced by the Undead, so he didn't confirm until dawn that it wasn't a new round of illusions.

The people in the camp were uneasy, and it wasn't until one or two in the middle of the night that exhaustion made everyone fall asleep.

In the early morning, when Yu Xing, who had been tired all day, was still sleeping, Wu Runhao entered his tent and woke him up, discussing how to deal with the experimenters who had been replaced or influenced by the Undead.

Yu Xing yawned and said weakly, "Act normal and see what he's up to."

Wu Runhao asked, "What if he attacks the people in the camp?"

Yu Xing looked nonchalant, "Brother-in-law, he only dared to take a bite of the corpse last night, which means his power is not strong. If he wanted to attack, yesterday's chaos was the best opportunity. There's no need to wait until today."

It was not enough to just use NPCs to kill the Undead. If it was only a temporary action, the system would not consider it as Yu Xing's hunting.

Therefore, Yu Xing needed a better opportunity. Besides, he could also take advantage of a wave of Undead.

Speaking of which, he didn't expect the process of finding the Undead to be so simple. He just made a small move under the conditions created by others and found the Undead.

Perhaps, thanks to this being a rookie competition, no matter which line they would be in the future, everyone present at the moment was a rookie, and their deductions had been less than six rounds. Their abilities had not fully developed yet.

The Undead had brutality and power, but their ability to strategize had not been truly honed. Someone like him, if he committed a crime in reality without any special abilities, he would be the type who would be identified on the first day, locked on the second day, and caught on the third day.

Yu Xing felt that he had overestimated the Undead. On the contrary, he was very interested in the mastermind behind the tragedy last night.

He had secretly checked at night and found that the firearms of a group of members were crawling with unconscious ghosts. Some of these ghosts were holding the triggers, making it impossible to pull them, while others swallowed the bullets, rendering the guns useless.

Ordinary people couldn't see these ghosts, but Yu Xing could. These ghosts had the aura of sacrifices, so perhaps the illusions came from the Undead Island itself, but they could still remind a group of people who couldn't fire their guns that they were human.

In the camp, there were himself, the Undead, the captain of the second team, Long Zhou, and the magician Carlos who had tested him.

So, most likely, the one who tampered with the group was the person on the ship.

In any case, Yu Xing successfully persuaded Wu Runhao to make a decision at eight o'clock due to the major incident on the first night.

Starting from the second day, the team decided that the paranormal researchers who stayed on the ship would participate in frontline work in the camp. Until they obtained the Undead samples, only five experimenters would remain to prevent accidents, and the rest, along with all unnecessary personnel, would be withdrawn to the ship, waiting for further orders!

The armed team of the third group also returned to the ship to protect the personnel on board, leaving only Wu Runhao, the second and fourth teams of the armed team, three cameras, six medical staff, five experimenters, four logistics personnel, and five new paranormal researchers in the camp, totaling forty-four people.

The research of geologists and other experts was postponed until the team had an effective way to avoid danger, and then they would resume their work.

The Undead was "kindly" left in the camp by Yu Xing, and as an "informed" cameraman, he proved that he wouldn't be a burden and had keen observation skills. He convinced his brother-in-law to let him stay in the camp to observe the dangerous experimenter.

After leaving Wu Runhao's tent, Yu Xing walked with big strides and suddenly felt like he stepped on something. When he lowered his head, he saw a flattened paper figure.

The paper figure looked very aggrieved, holding onto Yu Xing's shoe with its arms that had narrowly escaped destruction.

Sure enough, these little things that Carlos made were the ones who had been watching him last night!

Yu Xing calmly looked at the paper figure. Instead of hiding like last night, the paper figure appeared openly in front of him. On one hand, it was telling him that Carlos had already heard his conversation with Wu Runhao.

On the other hand...

...

At ten o'clock, the team, who had completed their position adjustments, prepared again.

The exploration became somewhat conservative, but it was still ongoing. At ten twenty, the second team, along with food and water, set off again.

However, this time, in addition to Yu Xing, one of the paranormal researchers sent by the team, Song Quan, and the doctor A Bai, who volunteered to join the team, were also accompanying them.

The original cameraman, Old Liu, was left in the camp to film the "daily life" there.

With the team, Nightmare walked a completely different route from yesterday, hoping to encounter something different.

Sure enough, the progress was very much in line with the nature of the game. After the fruitless exploration on the first day, the exploration on the second day would not make the Deductionist too bored.

In the depths of the dense jungle, they discovered a cave.

As soon as they saw the cave, the thirteen-person team came to a halt. Nightmare immediately turned his head to the paranormal researcher, Song Quan, and asked, "Song Quan, what do you think this cave represents?"

Since the incident last night, regardless of whether they were materialists before, they now treated these paranormal researchers as treasures.

"It needs to be detected." Song Quan was a short young man who didn't talk much. He basically didn't participate in the communication among the members of the second team along the way. He also ignored the conversations between the eccentric Yu Xing and the cheerful A Bai.

Yu Xing knew about Fang Xiaoyu's general personality and lost patience when he realized that Song Quan didn't intend to talk to him. He stopped paying attention and instead, A Bai, who always found something to say when there was nothing to say, became an important figure in lightening the atmosphere of the exploration team.

At this moment, Song Quan, carrying a bulging bag, took a few steps towards the entrance of the cave.Yu Xing aimed his camera at the cave. The day was already gloomy, but the jungle was still somewhat illuminated. The cave, however, was a different story. A casual glance inside revealed nothing but pitch-black darkness a meter or two in, making the entire cave seem like a man-eating monster.

As Song Quan got closer to the cave, Nightmare readied his gun.

Song Quan calmly took out a scanner with a grip, adjusted some unknown data, and swept it across the cave. With a beep, the indicator light on the device turned red.

"There are paranormal fluctuations inside, which means, there's a high probability of a ghost inside." Song Quan calmly put away the device, his tone and expression as casual as if he were asking about breakfast.

"What kind of ghost?" Nightmare asked.

Song Quan gave him a look as if he were an idiot. "How would I know?"

Nightmare retorted, "What's with that look? You think you're something special because I've been nice to you? We haven't even run into trouble yet, so don't give me that deadpan face!"

Despite his grumbling, Nightmare squeezed past Song Quan and took the initiative to venture deeper into the cave.

Having confirmed the possible presence of a ghost, they had no choice but to enter. After all, they were here to find the undead. Yes, they were here to court death.

Before entering, Nightmare informed Wu Runhao of their discovery via walkie-talkie.

Carrying his camera, Yu Xing followed the others into the first location on the island that was truly related to specters in the plot.
