Chapter 257: The Collapse of Human Nature
"Yang, no, the center of gravity should be lowered a little more, based on your feet, and stand firm. ”
The moonlight sprinkled on the side of the stream, and Raiden Mio held a wooden stick in his right hand, correcting Yang Xiaokai's standing posture and movements when holding the sword.
"Hmm...... It should be almost, come on, try to attack me with your knife. Lei Dian Mio stood in the distance and looked at Yang Xiaokai's movements, he was much more natural than before, and it was time to find someone to compete with him.
"Mio, let me do it. Chihori hurriedly ran to the riverside and dissuaded.
"Are you worried about me?" Mio glanced down at the stick in her hand and patted her on the shoulder, "He's not old enough to touch me, and although he is armed with obsidian, he also has the skill to defeat me." ”
Chihori threw Yang Xiaokai a look, signaling him not to be too serious, ordinary wooden sticks are useless in front of Obsidian, let alone attacking, and even as defensive props are not qualified.
"Mio, please advise. "Even if Yang Xiaokai agreed to Chihori, he still had to be more serious when competing with Raiden Mio, after all, the other party's strength was above him, and not using Obsidian's innate ability was the biggest concession.
"Whew-"
The black knife slashed head-on, Mio's body suddenly turned to the right side, and his left hand pushed his right arm violently, and the wooden stick suddenly hit the side of the black knife, bounced Yang Xiaokai out with the knife!
"The move is too big, and the opponent will respond if he perceives your move. After repositioning his posture, Raiden Mio stared at Yang Xiaokai's Taidao and said, "There are two ways to attack, either fast or flexible. There are only two keys to victory, strength and speed, and then try to attack me after mastering them. ”
Yang Xiaokai exhaled lightly, absorbing and digesting the methods that Mio taught him, but there were only a few nouns and no specific moves, and it was probably difficult for a person who had never learned swordsmanship to complete these.
After meditating on the way of attacking in his heart, Yang Xiaokai slowly adjusted his breathing and stood by the stream and looked at Mio.
Suddenly, the black knife lifted a layer of splash from the river, and the water waves went straight to Mio's face, she subconsciously stretched out her arms to cover it, and at the same time realized that she had fallen into Yang Xiaokai's trap.
The few seconds of losing vision were very crucial, and between the lightning and flint, Thunder Mio suddenly felt a fierce murderous aura rushing towards him, and instantly realized the position where Yang Xiaokai was about to attack, so he quickly wiped the water marks on his eyes with the sleeve of his left hand, and then shook away the knife that almost fell on him with a stick.
But what she didn't expect was that this blow was not the position that Yang Xiaokai wanted to attack at all, only to see his body roll on the spot, pick up a branch from the ground that was not thick or thin, and quickly put the branch between her waist before the thunderbolt Mio turned around!
"Uh......" Raiden Mio didn't expect Yang Xiaokai to attack in such a way at all, and as soon as his fingers loosened, the wooden stick in his hand fell to the ground and slowly rolled into the flowing river.
"Well, Xiaokai did a very good job. Chiho Li looked at the branch on Raiden Mio's waist with trepidation, Yang Xiaokai didn't use the sword as a weapon from the beginning, but a prop to lure the enemy, this kind of weird tactic is no wonder Mio will not be able to react, I'm afraid she will also fall for it.
"Mio, there's another element that is key to victory, and that's tactics. Ignoring this will focus all your energy on defending against enemy attacks, rather than thinking about enemy tactics. Yang Xiaokai put down the branch and said softly.
Raiden Mio nodded slightly, and chuckled, "It's great to have you join, I'll take your opinion from you." ”
"Okay, then that's the end of today's training, it's not too early, hurry back and rest." Chihori yawned and pushed the two towards the camp, there had been no nuclear-level creatures recently, and there was no way to hunt, in order to reduce the consumption of food, each person only ate two meals a day, if this situation was maintained, the consequences would be unimaginable.
"Xiaokai, how is that girl named Mio?"
"Ah, Sister Sakisa, you haven't slept yet. Yang Xiaokai noticed Samuzo in the shadows and sat down and asked.
"What are you talking about, today is my vigil. ”
"That's ......" Yang Xiaokai touched the back of his head in embarrassment, and said with a deep breath: "There is still no progress, although I have sorted it out according to Chihori's memory, but I still don't know what Mio is denying herself." ”
Samuzo pinched his chin and thought for a while, but he couldn't seem to come up with an accurate answer.
"In addition, Sister Samusa, we don't have much food, some of the dried meat pieces have begun to rot, and we won't find new nuclear-grade creatures, we ......" Yang Xiaokai recalled the white bones he saw a few days ago, and only now did he understand that this was not a warning given to them by Yucuris at all, but a kind of early warning of death!
"Well, there are very few nuclear-grade creatures around here, and I don't know why, but if it really gets to the point of running out of ammunition and food, I hope that others don't attack their companions even if they eat leaves and bark. Samusa glanced around the camp, and the most incomprehensible humanity was only revealed in a desperate situation.
"Now, Sister Samusa, will we also become like them?" Yang Xiaokai asked in a low voice.
Samuzo didn't speak, but the answer was already obvious, no one could guarantee to control his desire to survive in a near-death state, and even Yang Xiaokai didn't dare to easily believe that he didn't have such thoughts.
"In short, everything will be fine, don't let yourself fall into despair first, people who suffer from despair can only die in this world. Samusa looked at his watch and sighed, "I've also got a little sleep, and it's worth it if I get woken up by a monster." ”
The wish did not come true, and until the early morning, the forest was still silent, and the nuclear-class creatures disappeared without a trace as if they had suddenly become extinct, and the guys who usually appeared out of nowhere to attack humans are now unknown.
Breakfast was scarce, everyone was almost only given a portion between the teeth, less than yesterday, and the quality was also reduced.
After three days, the amount of food had plummeted to one meal, and people had no choice but to dig up some grass roots and insects to satisfy their hunger, and the eyes they looked at each other began to change, and the black pupils gradually revealed a fierce color, and a blood-like bright red began to seep out of the corners of the eyes.
"Ahem......"
In the afternoon, the formation suddenly felt a pain in the back of his head, and the whole person fell forward, and Guima Shisong, who was walking behind him, waved the wooden stick and knife in his hand and threw himself on the ground!
"Hey, bastard, get out of here!" Gui Liang pushed Gui Ma away, obviously both of them were already hungry and ran out of strength, pushing and falling were full of a heavy sense of powerlessness, "Nan, are you okay?"
Standing up with the back of his head in his hands, Guima's remaining strength was not enough to stun him with a stick, but this man seemed to have lost his humanity, and looking at the people around him was like looking at prey.
"The corruption has begun, and it must be stopped. Samusa muttered to himself as he looked at the people in front of him who had begun to argue.
And at that moment, among the people who quarreled, there was another guy who smashed the other people with weapons, and to be honest, the team had not eaten for a week, and humanity was gradually losing in the face of desire.
"Calm down, everyone, we'll always find food!" Fujiwara was powerless to stop them, and could only loudly awaken a trace of human consciousness that was still lurking in them, the current situation was already extremely bad, this was more difficult to survive than the previous lack of water, the day's journey required a lot of physical strength, and physical strength can only be replenished by food, without physical strength, it is impossible to move forward at all.
"Who will believe you!" A short-haired man in the team suddenly summoned an obsidian arm, holding a dagger and stabbing straight at the girl beside him, fortunately, the man's wrist was caught by Tianming Dao in time, otherwise this sudden attack would have killed her!
"Don't do it. ”
"What are you kidding! We're dying of starvation! Pick out the most useless guy and kill us to fill our stomachs!"
"Sister Samusa, what now?" Yang Xiaokai realized that this situation might not be suppressed, and in the short silence, people were thinking quickly about how to surpass the condemnation of human nature and try to survive.
"Stay away from here, some of these people are already crazy, don't conflict with them, you can't stay here any longer. Samusa motioned for them to retreat, otherwise they would definitely be swept into this conflict of desires, and it would be better to calm down and look for food if they did something meaningless to spend their physical strength.
"Cut, didn't anyone do it?" a man with dyed yellow hair suddenly pulled a dagger out of his pocket and roared loudly, "Then I'll do it!
"Click. ”
Qiu Liang's movements suddenly stopped, and he turned his head to look at the muzzle of the gun aimed at him.
"Captain Hanajima......" Qiu Liang swallowed his saliva tremblingly, for fear that Hanajima would kill him with one shot!
"Qiuliang Beiren, just a little bit, it's not your turn to talk here. Hanashima opened some of the eyes that had been squinting slightly, and a strong evil aura suddenly spread throughout the team, and almost everyone felt this chilling gaze, so they didn't dare to continue to be presumptuous.
With Hanashima in the ranks, people will be more afraid of his majesty and no longer mention cannibalism, but everyone understands in their hearts that fear and desire do not conflict, as long as desire is still there, some things will happen sooner or later, and the desire to overcome fear will never be suppressed by someone's majesty.
