Chapter 213: The Power of Hope
And this is the power of hope! When hope is within your reach, it is not hope, but a matter of course, and you will be dying! Only this kind of need to exhaust your strength to touch the corners of your clothes can be called hope, she makes you crazy to think and not stop, you can only have the struggle for survival but you have to take care of the only lighthouse, Bifrons gives full play to the value of hope, and the value of these mountain people is also squeezed to the fullest!
Bifrons's methods are conspiracy, but they cannot be questioned!
As for the so-called losers, in other words, those with lower yields, they can only huddle in dark corners to compete for the last few places to survive!
The four of them were in a hurry, compared to what happened to these people, how could they deserve to brag about their own lives? Ups and downs? That's just a joke! The mountain people here have long lost their pride, and they can only struggle between life and death, looking forward to hearing the next bell. Among the four people, except for Huo Nianjun, they have all reached the realm of Jindan, so they can support even if they don't eat for a week, and the water source here is provided for free, and the most important thing is that they still have three months of dry food reserves in their storage bags.
However, before entering here, Liu Xun stored all the props in the cloud and the glass amber. On the surface, this cloud hoofed glass glass looks like an ordinary small bell, so it can be fooled. As for what Long Sanniang refers to that it can only be used once again, it refers to its true power, and this simple storage power does not affect it.
"Old Li, the results are out!" Zhou Miao came to Li Dong's side and said, "No accidents, we are still the fourth in line!"
Li Dong nodded, this result is expected, after all, the top three positions have long been firmly occupied by Zhao, Qian, and Sun, and they can't be shaken at all, Li Dong's strength is very strong, but there are only nearly two hundred people, and it is also the only team of two hundred people here, how can it shake their status?
But they had to give Li Dong face, because of Li Dong's strength and deterrence, he could propose a life-and-death duel, then the other party must fight, and only this move could catch the lifeblood of the three of them! So in the long run, they have developed a conventional rule, that is, the fourth place will always belong to Li Dong, and the top three and the fifth to seventh will be fought for by their own ability.
"Big brother, okay, the old man promises to meet the target next time!Please don't remove me from the list!" A thin old man grabbed a man's trouser legs, but the man didn't care at all and kicked him away. Murong Xian stepped forward but was stopped by Liu Xun, shook his head and sighed, manpower is poor, such a thing cannot be solved by relying on will.
That old man is a member of Zhao Xiang's team, and he can be regarded as an old minister! It's just that he is already old and frail, and he is becoming more and more inadequate, and although he has been working continuously, he has exhausted his efforts, but he has not been able to meet the minimum requirements, and has long been reduced to the verge of being abandoned.
Of course, Zhao Xiang would not come forward in person for this kind of thing, his subordinates had already stepped forward to beat him and blast him away: "I don't even understand the rules, and I want to eat a thanksgiving meal?
This is survival, survival is such cruelty! There is no intrigue here, only the life and death of Ru Mao drinking blood, and there is only conspiracy and strength! No one here will feel pity for your pity
Even if you exhaust your heart and soul to complete the task, you will only be taken for granted. But when you can't complete the task, even if you put in 200% effort, it's just garbage, and you're spurned!
Your hardships are not even worth half a tael of spirit stones in their eyes!
Liu Xun and the four of them did not intervene to stop and help, even if they were very similar to this old man's experience in their hearts, but the rules of heaven made it impossible for human power to shake it at all, and this old man had bullied others like the strong man who hammered himself, but it was just the reincarnation of heaven!
Because the rules, the rules cannot be broken, if you want to survive here, you must always abide by the rules here!, when you help this old man, you also pronounce a death sentence for yourself, because you break the delicate balance here, and you will enter the loser's group, and even they will be excluded, so that no one will team up with you, and thus die!
The price of breaking the rules is so cruel, and there is no power that can change the environment here unless the light in them is extinguished!
The old man silently walked to the dark corner, where thousands of people were looking at it all with desperate eyes, they were the losers, their souls had been lost, some were just mechanical, repeating the work day after day until they died!
They are weak, they are old and frail, they can no longer complete the amount of work handed over, so they can only huddle together to hold firewood for warmth, they take 1,200 people as a cycle, just to be able to eat a little scraps a week, but such a demolition of the east wall to make up the west wall can soon hollow out them, and eventually they will meet death, in a dark corner humiliation and despair to die!
"Elder Li, there is still a question below, I wonder if you can tell me?" Liu Xun asked with his fists clenched, and Elder Li glanced at it and nodded to him, but it was okay. Liu Xun glanced at all living beings, and asked, "How long have you been here?"
Although the three-day cycle is not hungry, it can also support the consumption, and it is not a problem to stay up for three or five years, especially the leading brothers, but why everyone here is filled with a sense of sickness, it is really suspicious!
Elder Li nodded and sighed: "Old Man is the person who has lived here the longest, it has been seven years and six months!"
"Seven years, then haven't you already gained freedom? Why do you still stay in this ghost place? Do you enjoy the benefits of this right?" Feng Yuxiu was stunned, but Li Lao suddenly laughed, but with a little sadness in his smile, he sighed abruptly: "However, Lao Yu is only thirty-nine years old this year, but he has this eighty-year-old body, even if he regains his freedom, where will he go?"
"What? You're only thirty-nine years old, Master, I thought you were seventy or eighty!" Feng Yu Xiuxin blurted out directly, shocked.
Zhou's face was unhappy and angry, and he scolded: "Boy, pay attention to Lao Tzu, look for death, right?"
"No, no, it's a misunderstanding!" Feng Yuxiu smiled and waved his hand to explain, he also knew that he had made a mistake and was disrespectful, not deliberately sprinkling salt on the wound, but this matter was too strange and mysterious to control for a while.
Li Dong waved his hand to signal a few people not to be angry, and seemed to be very calm about all this, and continued
"That's it, the more you know, the closer you get to death! Calculate that it's almost our turn to eat, let's go! After all, time is pressing!"
The meal time was only a quarter of an hour, so everyone did not dare to delay, and after waiting for a while, they quickly entered the restaurant. However, the scene of this restaurant surprised Liu Xun and the others, because this restaurant is obviously very large, and it can even accommodate more than 2,000 people to eat together!
There are sixteen large long tables in the dining room, each of which can accommodate 100 people at a time, and the first six tables are already in shambles, thinking that the scene is after the first three groups have eaten, and the dishes on the remaining ten tables are still intact.
Li Dong seemed to see the doubts of several people, and said with a smile: "This is the power of rules, rules are everything! In the past, this place was messy and chaotic, and only the first in line could eat real food, because even if they couldn't finish eating, they would easily mess up all the food on the table behind them! After all, hatred has always been hidden in their hearts!"
"However, since there are rules, even this place has become orderly, and most of the top twelve will eat at the prescribed table according to the rules!"
These delicacies are very delicious and rich, not only fish and shrimp, but also good food and wine. Anyway, as long as you don't eat other people's leftovers, you can be happy to be cold and sealed in Xiu, and since the meal time is only a quarter of an hour, everyone is already impatient to chew like a whirlwind and clouds!
"Mmmmmm! It's delicious, I didn't expect the treatment here to be good! That old Zhou, please don't be surprised if you have offended a lot before!" Feng Yuxiu's eyes narrowed slightly, and he stuffed a roast duck leg directly into his mouth, and even poured the side wine directly into his mouth, this dish was extremely rich and had more delicious fresh fruits, so everyone ate very happily.
However, all this is too weird, Liu Xun is not as pure as sealing Yu Xiu's heart! A simple glance at the dishes on the table is as Li Dong said, if a table is saved, it can completely fill the stomachs of two hundred people, that is to say, as long as each group only eats one table, everyone can eat delicious food, but the result is that only the first twelve groups can eat it!
"This Bifrons's mind is no less powerful than Blue Silver!" Liu Xun secretly thought in his heart, if it wasn't for Bifrons to deliberately kill him, he wouldn't believe it! The ultimate reason for all this is actually two points, that is, time and seats, because a table can only seat a hundred people at a time, and the time is only a quarter of an hour, so everyone must occupy two tables at a time!
And the food here was so delicious, and many of them only ate one meal every three days, so they had to eat and drink heavily, so in just a quarter of an hour, the table that could satisfy two hundred people was eaten by two-thirds of a hundred. The second round of arrivals will only be able to eat the leftovers, but they will also try to satisfy their appetite, and they will consume the leftovers from four tables at a time.
So when the last four mountain people came in, they could only look around to see if there was anything missing, or pick up the plate and lick it!
The stratification of ability has led to the stratification of classes, thus breaking into such a situation! After everyone is full of wine and food, they also go home to prepare for rest, this rest is very simple, that is, go up to the mine and set up a tent casually, Lao Zhou waved his hand to signal everyone to disband, and Liu Xun and several people also received Zhou's order, that is, forty catties of spirit stones per capita!
This is also the per capita requirement of their group!
