Infinite Flow Cannon Fodder NPC Just Wants to Stay Alive Chapter 24

CHAPTER 50

Chapter 50: Dreamland Resort

On the second day of the scenario, during the daytime, players, taking a break from NPCs, gathered together to discuss. They exchanged glances, their expressions revealing their states of mind.

Some players appeared calm and even healthier than before entering the scenario, their faces glowing with vitality. In contrast, others had dark circles under their eyes, their expressions occasionally dazed, with hints of doubt and struggle.

The difference in the states of the two groups was stark.

Fu Yanghui and Chen Lehe were among the players who appeared to be in poor condition, including the female player and the bespectacled player who had gone up the mountain last night. Their appearances were quite troubling.

Fu Yanghui looked at the distraught female player and asked, "You don't look well. Did you get any sleep last night after returning?"

Since they had parted ways at the intersection due to different directions home, they weren't aware of each other's return times or the smoothness of their trips back to the villa. However, since everyone who went up the mountain was here and safe, at least they could be sure nothing major had happened.

The female player seemed to take a moment to respond, her lips cracked and the blood vessels in her eyes clearly visible. "I—I'm fine. It's just that I was a bit frightened going up the mountain yesterday and didn't sleep well last night."

Fu Yanghui asked, "Did you have a nightmare?"

The female player hesitated, as if unsure herself, and eventually nodded.

The bespectacled man added, "I didn't have a nightmare. It was supposed to be a pleasant dream, but I'm not sure if it was because the mountain trip was too thrilling, but I woke up feeling exhausted."

Fu Yanghui asked, "So you still can't recall the specifics of the dream?"

The bespectacled man thought for a moment and replied, "It seemed to be related to my late lover, but I really can't remember the details."

Fu Yanghui sighed with a wry smile. "I'm in the same boat. I've asked several players, and most of them can't remember clearly."

Chen Lehe considered for a moment and said, "Have you noticed that the more important the person in the dream, the more blurry the memories become after waking up?"

"This scenario is called Dreamland Resort. Could there be a connection?"

"You're right. I've had the same suspicion, but I can't figure out the exact connection yet."

Fu Yanghui continued, "Besides us, some other players also seem to have trouble sleeping. They must have noticed the strangeness of dreaming in this scenario and have been trying to stay awake."

Since they couldn't prevent falling asleep and dreaming, they could disrupt their sleep patterns instead.

Fu Yanghui suggested, "We could set alarms every hour to forcefully interrupt our sleep."

Fu Yanghui not only mentioned this to his three companions but also to other players.

Some questioned, "But if we don't get proper rest, we might lack energy and make mistakes in the scenario."

Before Fu Yanghui could respond, another player spoke up sharply, "Would you rather have a pleasant dream in the scenario and die unknowingly? That would be a peaceful death, after all."

The player who was silenced by this had no retort but knew that Pan Mao had a point. He fell silent, realizing that so many players simultaneously having pleasant dreams and being inexplicably immersed in incomprehensible dreams was indeed quite strange and dangerous. They might end up dying in their dreams one day.
