As Xu Hang and a few others struggled to bring a goat back to the Temporary Campsite using sturdy sticks, they noticed Gu Ze whispering something, while Xu Nuan organized her belongings beside him, occasionally nodding, her expression less cold than before.
Deng Yinyin immediately regarded the two with a sense of urgency; if it were possible, her light yellow hair would have nearly stood on end. Tang Jingshu was laboriously holding onto the stick, unable to dissuade Deng Yinyin at that moment.
When Xu Nuan lifted her gaze, she met Deng Yinyin's hostile eyes. Following that direction, she saw Xie Huai, who was nervously watching Deng Yinyin, and Xu Hang, whose seemingly reserved yet deep-set eyes revealed concern. Tang Jingshu's face also showed signs of worry.
Xu Nuan blinked; it seemed that whenever these individuals appeared together, they created a strange standoff that made it difficult for others to join in.
Perhaps it was because they all worked in the Operations Department, Xu Nuan thought. However, in the next moment, her attention was fixed on the goat that had been set down.
Beside her, Gu Ze voiced her thoughts.
"Are you sure this is a sheep?"
The creature resembled a sheep in appearance, with white fur and white horns adorned with stacked black rings. However, what stood out most were its eyes—red and somewhat large. Just looking into them sent chills down one's spine.
After the initial shock wore off, Xu Nuan awaited a prompt from the System.
"This is a Red-Eyed Sheep, one of our creations. It is carnivorous."
The voice echoed like it came from the snowy ground; each note felt like an ice blade piercing the skin, leaving behind a chilling sensation.
Xu Nuan's doubts grew even stronger as various thoughts began to swirl in her mind. What secrets did the Third Batch of Players hold that prompted the System to issue repeated alerts?
Is this secret related to the way out?
This was the question Xu Nuan continued to ponder. The importance of the secret would determine whether Xu Nuan would choose to proceed with these people.
Standing next to Xu Nuan, Gu Ze could clearly see her light brown eyes growing deeper in thought, only returning to clarity after a while.
Meanwhile, Xu Hang had pried open the mouth of the Red-Eyed Sheep with a stick, revealing its extremely sharp teeth. In the next moment, the Red-Eyed Sheep bit through the stick and, as it spat out the remnants, it cast a glance at everyone with its red eyes.
It was a dark and emotionless gaze.
"Many seafood products are also carnivorous; this sheep just looks a bit strange, so it should be fine."
Tang Jingshu recalled how they had been chasing the Red-Eyed Sheep through the tangled branches and dense bushes just moments ago, unwilling to give up on food that was almost within reach. As she spoke, the elegant aura she usually carried faded somewhat; in this place, filling their stomachs was the most important thing.
The other starving individuals also expressed their agreement. Gu Ze stood up, moved his uninjured shoulder, and walked directly toward the Red-Eyed Sheep, which seemed to be looking down on everyone. With a swift motion, he knocked it unconscious with a chop of his hand and then signaled for Xie Huai to follow him with the tools.
"I often went camping in college; this will come in handy."
Gu Ze maintained a relaxed demeanor, which inadvertently eased the tension among the others.
"I'll help too!"
Deng Yinyin suddenly exclaimed excitedly as she followed Gu Ze and Xie Huai.
Xu Hang quietly walked to the side, rubbing his sore arms.
Xu Nuan sat in a corner, still contemplating the uniqueness of the Third Batch of Players. After a while, a shadow appeared above her head.
When Xu Nuan looked up, she saw Tang Jingshu, whose lips were adorned with a serene smile.
"Um, Xu Nuan, do you have any painkillers? If you do, could you lend me some?"
Xu Nuan nodded. She had a good impression of Tang Jingshu, who seemed like someone out of a painting. She took out the painkillers and handed over a bottle of water as well.
"Thank you."
Tang Jingshu smiled as she accepted them. Just as she was about to open the water bottle, she noticed Gu Ze and a few others returning from dealing with the Red-Eyed Sheep. Their expressions were somewhat grim, and the sheep was nowhere to be seen.
