Chapter 858: Are You Sure You're Ready?
"Ahem......... Ahem........."
Hu Tao, covered in mud, crawled on the ground, coughing and staring at the corpse of the poisonous lizard not far away. Luckily she was dead, or else she would have been dead.
But even if she died, Hu Tao felt just as bad, the whole bottomless swamp was full of all kinds of human and animal corpses, and even excrement and those disgusting stinky mud, Hu Tao was already depressed at this time, and she even desperately wanted to find a place to take a shower and change clothes!
"Now you know, it's different from the game."
Looking at Hu Tao funny, Fang Zheng shook his head.
"You know, it's just the lowest level of mission, and reality isn't a game, so there's no chance for you to start over......... How do you feel now? ”
"It's disgusting......... Woo........."
Luckily, Hu Tao hadn't eaten much during this time, otherwise she would have vomited just looking at the dirt on her body.
"You should be glad that this poisonous lizard is just trying to eat you."
Fang Zheng snapped his fingers, and the next moment the sludge and other filth on Hu Tao's body disappeared instantly, allowing the girl to return to her original radiant appearance.
"Goblins or goblins aren't so kind, they'll knock you down, take off your armor, and play with your body......... Need I go into more detail? If necessary, I can describe the whole process in five thousand words. ”
"No, no need........."
Hearing this, Hu Tao's face turned even pale, although she was very arrogant, she was also a girl, so she naturally understood the meaning of Fang Zheng's words. It's just that hearing Fangzheng's words, Hu Tao is still a little incredulous.
"The world......... Is it so dangerous? ”
"Of course, how do you think this mercenary you replaced died?"
Fang Zheng pointed to the mercenary nameplate hanging around her neck.
"She went with her companions to encircle the goblins, and then failed to be captured, and then was played to death as a goblin plaything. If it weren't for the other adventurers who cleared the goblins, you wouldn't even be able to find her body. This is the mercenary, which is completely different from the game, they are doing things with their heads, and they have to face all kinds of dangers at all times. It's still wild, from those evil creatures. In addition, you will have to face the threat of humans, mercenaries will intrigue with each other, and even stabbing in the back is not uncommon, and there will be people who will infiltrate other people's mercenary groups as undercover agents, and then sit silently, and then take the opportunity to kill the leader and then take the others to their original leader........."
Saying this, Fang Zheng shrugged his shoulders.
"You still have a chance to think about it now, and you have to understand that the living environment in this world is not as good as the Heavenly Dao Palace, and you can see that most of the area here is still in the Middle Ages or the early stage of the Industrial Revolution. You don't have internet, no TV, no air conditioning. And you don't have time to eat dessert with friends, watch concerts, or play games together......... It's more dangerous than you think, but even then, are you going to keep going? ”
“…………………”
This time, Hu Tao didn't answer immediately as before, as Fang Zheng said, as a zombie, she might not be afraid of death. But Hu Tao is still a girl after all, maybe she is not afraid of death, but think about what Fang Zheng said......... It's enough to make Hu Tao feel terrified.
Originally, Hu Tao was still full of confidence in being a mercenary, in Hu Tao's opinion, he had also killed a lot of zombies in the biochemical world, and he could be regarded as "experienced in a hundred battles and seen blood", being a mercenary should be simple and ordinary, plus she is still a zombie and will not die, so she is naturally more confident.
But now it seems that the little experience that I am proud of is useless.
Even if he doesn't die, it's no good, if Fang Zheng hadn't rescued him just now, I'm afraid Hu Tao would really have to stay in this bottomless swamp for the rest of his life.
"And I also want to make it clear that at a critical juncture, you can indeed seek assistance from the Heavenly Dao Palace, but you must know that this mercenary group was formed by me as the peripheral eyeliner of the Heavenly Dao Palace, that is to say, the Heavenly Dao Palace and this mercenary group will not have any superficial connection, maybe I can sponsor some start-up funds, but in addition, all the troubles and difficulties you encounter need to be solved by yourself. Once the situation is dangerous enough to require the intervention of the Heavenly Dao Palace, then this mercenary group will also disappear, and you must return to the Heavenly Dao Palace immediately. After all, there are still a lot of troubles and enemies in the Heavenly Dao Palace, and once your identity is revealed, the other party will focus on you, and it will be even more dangerous at that time. ”
These truths must be made clear first, it is impossible for the identity of the peripheral eyeliner to be exposed, and because of the geographical location of the Heavenly Dao Palace, many forces cannot stretch out their hands, they can only look at the ocean and sigh. But if they knew that there was an organization of the Heavenly Dao Palace in the interior, then they would definitely try to find a way to test it. Therefore, Fang Zheng must ensure that this mercenary group will not expose its relationship with the Heavenly Dao Palace, and once it is exposed, it will be evacuated immediately.
If it's just Crazy Three, Fang Zheng is very relieved, with Crazy Three's ability, he really doesn't have to worry about these problems, but Hu Tao is different, even if she has seen blood in the biochemical world, she is just an ordinary high school girl after all, but the living environment in the main world is much more dangerous than where she originally stayed.
Fang Zheng didn't say it before because he also noticed that Hu Tao seemed to be a little floating, so he decided to let Hu Tao calm down before making plans......... Well, now it seems that being soaked in the bottom of a bottomless swamp for more than ten minutes is indeed enough to calm down.
“………………”
After listening to Fangzheng's words, Hu Tao was silent for a while, then she gritted her teeth, stood up, and picked up her shovel.
"Don't be reckless."
Fang Zheng glanced at Hu Tao.
"There's no shame in holding back, it's not a shame, it's only one part of the dangers in the Overworld, and it's the lowest part, otherwise why don't I let those little girls come here? Do you really think they're worse than you? Caution is the first element, if you can't get by for something, or if you feel ashamed and want to hold on, you don't have to. It's just the three of us, and no one will laugh at you. ”
"No......... Brother Founder, I've decided. ”
However, in the face of Fangzheng's warning, Hu Tao shook his head.
"To be honest, I didn't know what I had to do, I left that world and everyone lived the life they wanted, but I ......... I didn't know what I was supposed to do. ”
As he spoke, Hu Tao looked at his hand.
"I've become a zombie, I'm different from Yuuri, although everyone is kind to me, but they also have their lives. Miss Reya is doing a good job at 'Fran Show' right now, and I want to find what I can do. But......... Frankly, I didn't know what I was supposed to do. ”
Saying this, Hu Tao raised his head and looked at Fang Zheng.
"But, I want to give it a try, Brother Founder."
"Well, since you said so, then I don't have much to say."
Hearing the girl's answer, Fang Zheng shrugged his shoulders, Hu Tao upgraded this to the height of "life goal", and he really didn't want to say much.
"But remember, safety comes first, and if you really have any trouble, you can contact me for help. To the outside world, you can say that I am a wandering mage in the mercenary group, and I am making important commissions on weekdays. Of course, only for me, if you really encounter trouble that requires the Heavenly Dao Palace to intervene......... You know. Also, listen to Kurumi's ideas more on weekdays, she has more experience in this area than you. ”
"Yes, Brother Fangzheng!"
Hearing this, Hu Tao clenched his fists vigorously and nodded.
"I'll try!"
