Chapter 2162 Undying Monster, Addictive Fruit!

"Yes, even if we die out there, we must find food. I will never starve to death."

The townspeople were all very excited. Judging from their expressions, Lin Tianhao felt that they weren't just giving up, but rather that they had become dependent on those so-called "fruits."

To put it more bluntly, they are addicted to the "fruit" in the gray fog.

This is not good news for Lin Tianhao.

Lin Tianhao's Adam's apple bobbed as he discovered that his body had also developed a dependence on the "fruits" in the gray mist.

He now had an instinctive urge to rush into the gray fog and search for food.

Lin Tianhao has a strong enough willpower to suppress it, but judging from the appearance of these townspeople, they seem unable to suppress it.

"Then let's get ready and go out to find food," Lin Tianhao said.

He knew his attempts to stop them wouldn't be very effective; these townspeople were already addicted, and if he tried to stop them, they wouldn't give him a friendly look.

The townspeople seemed ready, and within five minutes, more than three million people had gathered in the square of Sweet Town.

They may be fierce or eerie, but their eyes all share the same look: a greedy desire for the fruit hidden in the gray mist.

Lin Tianhao took a deep breath and tried his best to calm his emotions.

"Walk."

These townspeople, armed, entered the gray fog under Lin Tianhao's leadership.

Lin Tianhao also prepared a bow and arrow and a longsword, which were the two weapons he was most proficient in and confident in.

Not long after entering the gray fog, Lin Tianhao and his group were attacked by monsters.

Upon seeing the monster, Lin Tianhao actually breathed a sigh of relief.

Because the monster wasn't as powerful as he had imagined, he could now suppress it with his arrows.

If given another ten days or two weeks, he could even defeat such a monster with his bare hands.

However, as Lin Tianhao's group ventured deeper into the gray fog, they encountered more and more monsters, which became increasingly powerful.

Simultaneously.

Lin Tianhao also saw these "fruits".

They grow on some strange, dead trees, and each fruit is the size of a human head, emitting an enticing aroma.

Many townspeople, upon receiving the fruit, began to devour it without hesitation. As they ate, their faces revealed a complex mix of emotions: greed, excitement, and satisfaction.

After noon, the group began to return to the town, and it was during this process that someone in the group was killed by a monster for the first time.

It was a townsman who lost control upon seeing the fruit and was dragged into the gray fog by the monster. Lin Tianhao wanted to rescue him, but it was too late.

Besides the villager who was dragged away by the monster, two more villagers were dragged away, and several others were injured.

Back in town, Lin Tianhao tallied up his haul. It was quite good; enough to feed the town for at least five days.

The main reason is that these fruits are indeed quite large, each one about the size of a human head. One fruit is enough for an adult to eat for a day, and they might not even be able to finish it.

Because in this sweet little town, there is almost no need to work, and the daily physical exertion is not high.

According to the previous allocation, adult men received half a fruit per day, while the elderly, children, and women received a quarter of a fruit per day.

This way, although we won't be completely full, it'll be just about enough.

but.

You really can't move around freely; you can only lie down as much as possible to reduce the consumption of energy in your body.

Two people died and more than a dozen were injured this time, which was still within Lin Tianhao's acceptable range.

But this time, apart from encountering monsters and fruits, Lin Tianhao had no clue about the gray fog.

Lin Tianhao had no clue whatsoever about the source of this legendary calamity.

Now that he has five days' worth of food, Lin Tianhao can allow his Beast God Body and Undying Beast Soul to stack some attributes.

Lin Tianhao didn't rest during these five days either. He kept coming into contact with the gray fog, trying to understand its special characteristics.

But the result was nothing.

In the blink of an eye, three days passed.

The townspeople of Sweet Town are getting restless again.

With only two days' worth of food left, they began to feel uneasy.

Lin Tianhao also prepared to take them out to find food, because he planned to catch a monster to study.

This time, Lin Tianhao had grown stronger over three days, making it much easier for him to deal with these monsters.

This time, Lin Tianhao's team suffered no losses in the face of the monster, which is the deterrent effect brought about by Lin Tianhao's growth.

"From this perspective, these monsters are relatively easy to deal with, except... they're unkillable!"

Lin Tianhao had just cut off the head of a monster. After the head was cut off, it gradually disappeared, and finally a new head grew back on its body.

Lin Tianhao tried again, and no matter how the monster was dismembered, the largest piece of its body would continue to grow and eventually return to its original form.

The more these monsters are dismembered, the slower they recover.

Lin Tianhao observed several monsters and discovered some patterns, but these did not greatly help him find the source of the disaster.

Perhaps these monsters are not enough for Lin Tianhao to touch the rules of the gray fog.

For some time afterward.

Under Lin Tianhao's leadership, Sweet Town truly began to blossom into a sweet place, with smiles radiating from everyone's faces.

But Lin Tianhao could see that the greed for those fruits deep in their eyes was impossible to conceal.

He himself was also affected by those fruits, but as his physique and soul grew stronger, this effect became smaller and smaller.

But these townspeople were different; Lin Tianhao could clearly feel that the fruit's influence on them was increasing.

As Lin Tianhao's strength grew, obtaining the fruits became easier and easier, and the town gradually regained its vitality.

With ample food, the townspeople no longer have to lie down every day.

But Lin Tianhao felt that the more they ate, the more obvious those inexplicable changes became.

Based on the information Lin Tianhao has seen, if this continues, the consequences will be unimaginable.

Lin Tianhao began to study the fruit, the gray fog, the water source, and the monster.

They even consciously fed the fruit to the monsters to observe them, but still gained nothing.

but.

Lin Tianhao did not come away empty-handed in the process.

During the process of killing these undead monsters, Lin Tianhao discovered something very interesting.

That is, these undead monsters regenerate their bodies by consuming regeneration energy.

It's difficult to tell when you've killed a regular undead monster.

However, this became very obvious when he killed some powerful undead monsters; it was even possible to see with the naked eye that the gray mist was absorbed and restored by the undead monsters' corpses.
