Chapter 33: The First Blood!
"Dead, someone died?!"
Old White was dumbfounded, unable to regain his senses for a while.
But when he recovered, his first reaction was, "Can people even die in this game?"
Logically speaking, unless one actively seeks death or acts recklessly, it's quite difficult to die in this game.
Not just Old White, Chu Guang was also puzzled.
He hadn't expected that the third batch of players had just logged in when they suddenly encountered a non-combat reduction in their numbers, at least half a month earlier than he had anticipated...
The player who died had the ID "Crow," with a "Perception " gene sequence, and her talent was Toxin Intuition.
Chu Guang remembered sending her out in the morning to gather berries and edible mushrooms, but somehow, she ended up near the mutated leech nest.
Checking the player list, Chu Guang could determine the players' general locations, and as he explored, he found her last active area was beyond the mutated leech nest and immediately gave up the idea of recovering the body.
Young mutated leeches were bearable; their mouthparts had degenerated, and even sucking blood was difficult for them. They mostly fed on decaying food, and occasionally, wasteland cockroaches and rats gnawed at them, or diligent players would capture them for nesting.
However, adult mutated leeches were a different matter.
