Re-enter the Game：Village Carnival 7

Fuguo Town was no longer habitable.

Seeing this, Wen Nannan turned around and ran back to the shabby hut that the game arranged for her without hesitation.

She put the bed board into her spatial item. These past few days, she had eaten some food, so there was some space available.

In the short time it took her to do this, the locust plague had already spread from the town entrance to the center.

The townspeople watched in horror as the locusts devoured their second attempt at storing winter provisions. Their clothing, houses, and generations of accumulated furniture were all gone.

But the locusts kept flying forward.

Auntie Li saw the swarm of insects approaching her house and her eyes turned red with panic. She clutched the basket of vegetables she had picked that morning and refused to let go.

"Even if I die here, I can't lose my food!"

Just as she said this, a huge swarm of locusts arrived. Although she pressed on the basket to protect the wild vegetables, the locusts didn't care.

Thousands upon thousands of locusts surrounded Auntie Li, biting into her flesh. She screamed, and the basket of vegetables fell to the ground.

But she couldn't even finish her scream before she was silenced. As she opened her mouth, more locusts clambered in, swarming through her nose and mouth.

Within seconds, Auntie Li "disappeared."

Li An, standing nearby, frowned and felt a wave of nausea.

It was true that locusts consumed food. But food wasn't limited to plants and vegetables, people were also a part of that.

"Don't protect the food anymore. If you lose the food, you can find more. But if you lose your life, you really lose everything!"

The mayor yelled, his face red with urgency, but his voice was drowned out by the constant buzzing of the locusts.

Within half a minute, several townspeople who had been desperately protecting their food were eaten alive by the locusts.

After several more deaths, the remaining people gave up resistance and threw away their food, not even leaving a single vegetable leaf behind. They watched helplessly as the fruits of their ancestors' hard work turned to ashes.

On the other hand, Wen Nannan saw that the locusts were even eating the trees and firewood, and a slight frown appeared on her face.

She hadn't prepared any firewood. She had thought that ample water and food would be enough, and never considered that firewood would be scarce.

But the locusts were approaching, so Wen Nannan sighed and ran.

But she only ran a few steps before she smiled. Next to her house was the dormitory assigned to the teachers by Fuguo Town, which was where the players were staying.

Unlike Wen Nannan who has no experience in material storage, those players who have experienced several rounds of games are already experienced.

Water, food, and fuel were all prepared, and we even had flashlights and medicine collected in a corner.

Wen Nannan shamelessly took all the firewood and medicine into her spatial item. She had already stocked up on food and water a few days ago, so she didn't need more.

After doing all this, Wen Nannan turned around and ran toward the back of the mountains.

Not long after she left, several players who had escaped the chaos rushed to check their supplies, only to find that many things were missing.

"Damn it, where's my hemostatic medicine? I worked so hard to get that!"

"My special cold medicine is gone!"

"And my anti-inflammatory medication too."

"Where's all the firewood I've been collecting for days?"

The theft of all the players' supplies wasn't a small matter, especially since the thief was brazen enough to only take medicine and firewood, leaving the piles of food and water untouched.

But they didn't have time to dwell on it. Although the teacher's dormitory was located at the back of the town, at the rate the locusts were devouring everything, their supplies would soon be consumed.

...

Inside the cave on the back mountain, Wen Nannan briefly cleaned the surroundings, then took out the bed board and laid it on the ground.

There were many stones in the cave, and she picked out a few that were pleasing to the eye, cleaned them, and used them as a makeshift stove. She then arranged the firewood she had collected in her spatial item.

The only problem now was the fire source.

Wen Nannan desperately tried to recall the fire-starting videos she had watched before entering the game, picking up two small stones and rubbing them together.

But no matter what she did, she couldn't create a spark.

Wen Nannan's eyes narrowed, and her movements became agitated. She slammed the two stones together with force and rubbed them vigorously.

Finally, a small spark emerged from the gap between the stones, igniting the dry grass she had laid out nearby.

Smoke curled up, and the large stones, heated by the fire, became gradually hot. Wen Nannan took out the fat she had processed from her spatial item and placed it on the stones.

The animal fat shrank rapidly under the high temperature, spitting out oil droplets, and she used it to stir-fry the fresh bamboo shoots. The scent of food wafted through the cave.
