Chapter 277 Grandma's Cottage
The foul smell in the tree hole that An Zhiyan had hated before now became her protective umbrella.

Covering up the scent that originally belonged to her.

No matter what, An Zhiyan is the second in command of the Awakener Association and a senior memory collector. Even in a panic, she knows how wolves pursue prey.

Smell is important.

To break the smell chain, she could either hide in the water, but she didn't encounter a river; or she could use other smells to cover it up, and it had to be a strong and pungent smell.

Stinky is the best choice.

That's why she hid in this tree hole.

The werewolf outside was running and searching quickly. It seemed that it knew that she was hiding nearby. At the closest moment, the werewolf's claws were at the edge of the tree hole. This made An Zhiyan experience what it felt like her heart was beating faster.

She didn't dare to move, let alone make any sound.

Even though she suddenly felt severe pain in her foot and knew she had been bitten by some poisonous insect, she did not dare to move.

"Oh no, it might be the bite from that centipede!" When An Zhiyan thought of this, she immediately got goose bumps all over her body.

The bite was on the ankle.

And she was sure it was poisonous because soon she could no longer sense the leg.

But An Zhiyan still didn't dare to move.

The werewolf is within five or six meters around, and any unusual movement on my side may alert the other party.

Finally, the werewolf did not notice anything unusual, and the clouds above his head seemed to block the full moon again.

The clear singing sounded again.

"La la la la, I am walking alone on a small road in the suburbs. I bring some cakes to my grandmother to have a taste. Her home is far away and secluded. I have to be careful if there are any big bad wolves nearby. When the sun goes down, I will rush home and fall into a sweet dream with my mother."

The singing gradually faded away.

An Zhiyan finally breathed a sigh of relief. At this time, she was already cold all over and her forehead was covered with cold sweat.

One of her legs had completely lost all feeling, and she knew she had to detoxify immediately, otherwise she would die.

As a memory restorer, she is not afraid of death.

In the past cycle days, she had died many times, in various ways, and she had long been accustomed to it.

But it's different here.

Because all the people who had entered Fairy Tale Town before have disappeared, it means that even death cannot escape from Fairy Tale Town.

So, she had to survive as long as possible.

She used up almost all of her strength to climb out of the narrow tree hole. During the process, she felt like she had participated in a marathon and was almost exhausted.

I finally climbed out and checked the wound.

The calves are already black.

"It's poisonous indeed!" An Zhiyan was not panicked. Her occupation card was 'pharmacist'. Even in the Awakener Association, few people knew this. They all thought she was a 'doctor'.

Because there are many similarities between the two.

For example, they can heal and detoxify other people who have recovered their memories.

But in fact, An Zhiyan can do much more than that.

In the entire Awakener Association, there are only two people who know her true professional card.

Even Lin Yixuan is not included in these two people.

The two people who knew her occupation card were Yu Xiaoru and Aunt Qin.

In addition to being able to mix [Healing] and [Detoxification], the [Pharmacist] also has the more powerful ability to synthesize cards.

For example, she can mix [anesthetics].

This was why she was able to suppress the hyenas alone before.

In addition, she can also mix [poison].

There are several types of [Poison] cards, generally they are [Crippling Poison], [Paralyzing Poison], and [Lethal Poison].

She can even use several other cards to synthesize a very special card, [Adrenaline].

This is An Zhiyan’s biggest trump card.

At the critical moment, an [Adrenaline] is enough to allow her to ignore all pain and toxins for a short period of time, while increasing her combat power to the 'elite level'.

Of course, the side effects of using [adrenaline] are also very serious.

She will be unable to move for the next two hours and will remain in a weakened state for the entire cycle day.

At this moment, An Zhiyan used [detoxification], healing and a small amount of [anesthetic] on herself.

This can relieve pain and numbness.

There were some claw marks on the surrounding tree trunks. Looking closely, the claw marks were very deep, indicating that the werewolf could easily tear the skin and flesh of the Shiyi people.

"So, what kind of fairy tale is this?" An Zhiyan took out some food cards, materialized them, and started eating to replenish her strength.

An Zhiyan’s mind is still very confused.

But she knew that she had to find the right one among these confusing clues.

"Lin Qiqi is probably in danger, because Little Red Riding Hood was the first one chasing her. As for Liu Rong and the hyenas, they may be alive, but they are not trustworthy." An Zhiyan found that she was now alone.

And he was injured.

This is the worst case scenario.

"Then, will there still be characters from the original story here? For example, Grandma, the hunter, and the big bad wolf." An Zhiyan pondered this fairy tale that was obviously changed. If she read this dark fairy tale under normal circumstances, she might find it very interesting, but now, she didn't find it interesting at all, because when she was in this changed fairy tale, she knew that fairy tales could be so terrifying and deadly.

The [detoxification] and [healing] took effect. The legs that were originally numb to the point of losing vision seemed to be back again, and felt pain. The pain was quickly offset by the [anesthetic], so although it was still painful, at least An Zhiyan had regained her ability to move.

In the deep woods, it is difficult to get a proper sense of direction.

Because we don't know the exact location, it becomes impossible to use the moon and stars in the sky to determine the direction.

For example, the moon here is abnormal and too huge, and there seems to be no other stars in the sky.

There was no other way, An Zhiyan could only choose a direction based on her feeling.

That is the exact opposite direction from where Little Red Riding Hood left just now.

This should be the safest.

She started to move. Her feet, which were bitten by poisonous insects, were still not working properly, so An Zhiyan found a branch to use as a walking stick. In addition, she held a knife in her hand.

The flashlight function of the mobile phone still works, but she doesn't dare to use it.

The light in the dark forest will only become the target of attack by some dark creatures.

In addition to the knife, she also held a piece of [Adrenaline] that she had synthesized long ago.

At critical moments, she would not hesitate to use it on herself.

It was difficult to find a path in the deep forest, and most of the time the journey was on rugged terrain. It took An Zhiyan a long time to move forward, and she replenished her water and food along the way.

Two hours later, she found a small path. After walking along it for another ten minutes, she saw a small house in front of her.

A wooden house with a strong fairy tale atmosphere.

But in this environment, this fairy-tale style cabin will only make people feel weird and scary.

But for An Zhiyan, this was a major discovery.

Whether good or bad, a discovery is better than no discovery.

And she made her judgment almost immediately.

"In the original story, the cottage in the deep woods can only remind people of one place - grandma's cottage. If that's the case, then this is Little Red Riding Hood's destination." An Zhiyan took a deep breath. She grabbed the cards and knife, and first walked around the house at a relatively safe distance, observing carefully.

The room was dark and seemed to be empty.

An Zhiyan picked up a stone and threw it towards the house.

The stones hit the wooden wall, making a noise.

Wait!
Still no movement.

This time, she slowly approached, looked from the side of the cabin, and then looked inside through the window.

The room was pitch black and I couldn't see anything.

The window of the prototype was sealed and could not be opened, so I could only go to the door to see if it was open. As a result, I pulled the door gently and it actually opened.

A creak.

It is especially noticeable in the silent forest.

At this moment, An Zhiyan's heart beat faster and her scalp felt numb.

She even froze in place, waiting for the judgment of fate. In her opinion, the worst case scenario was that a horrible monster, such as a bloodthirsty werewolf, jumped out of the house, knocked her down, and then eaten her alive.

She seemed to have heard that the process of being eaten by wild beasts was extremely horrific.

Because I am alive, I can feel my body being bitten and torn apart, and then chewed bit by bit by the other party and swallowed into the stomach.

In addition to the pain and powerlessness, listening to the sound of the other person eating himself made him feel even more desperate.

But what An Zhiyan worried about did not happen.

There was no movement in the house.

She suppressed her heart that was about to jump out of her chest, swallowed, and looked carefully into the room.

There should be no one inside.

Otherwise, there would have been movement long ago.

She walked in slowly and closed the door.

So, from a relatively quiet environment, we entered a closed and even quieter place.

After all, the silence in the forest is the sound without the wind, the swaying of leaves, and the chirping of insects and birds.

But in this room, there is really no sound at all.

It was warmer inside the house than outside, and there was a strange smell.

Just something moldy, mixed with a damp and very distinct stench.

She lowered her body and stood at the door, holding the door handle with her hand. If necessary, she would immediately open the door and run out.

Slowly, my eyes adjusted to the dimmer light in the room, and the hazy moonlight outside, shining into the room through the window, seemed very bright.

She saw the situation in the room clearly.

There is a bed over there.

It was a mess and there seemed to be blood stains on it.

In front, near the fireplace, there was a small round table and a wooden lounge chair. The next moment, her heartbeat, which had originally calmed down, began to surge again like boiling water, beating wildly.

Because she saw that there seemed to be someone sitting on the recliner facing the door.

Under the recliner, a large pool of blood had gathered, but it had long since dried up.
