1067 Ruins
The people who went in before also saw this scene, and leaned back desperately. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
But after all, it is the people who have lived for more than two years in the last days, no one shouts, no one is hysterical, everyone is on guard, and once they are attacked, they will definitely fight back.
The dark green or crimson eyes didn't come closer, just stared at the newcomers so quietly.
"Is there anything to eat?"
A dry and hoarse voice sounded, which soothed the mood of the newcomers.
Even the same kind in the last days is terrifying, but in such a dark environment, it will be a lot more reassuring to be able to be sure that it is not a mutated life.
Since humans adhere to the situation of not eating zombie meat, even now, for ordinary evolutionaries, food is still a big problem, the situation is similar to the previous beasts, if they hunt prey, they will eat for several days, and once they can't find a suitable target for a while, they will go hungry.
So for humans, it's natural to be wary of hearing someone asking you for food.
As a result, these new entrants did not still gather together, and did not relax their guard against these fellow citizens in the slightest, and even everyone raised the steel cone in their hands.
Ye Zhongming stood behind the stone wall, although it was extremely dim, but he could still vaguely see something.
The people on the other side with strange green or crimson eyes were a group of people dressed in tattered clothes, with disheveled hair and gauntlet bodies, each of whom looked more like demons from hell than flesh-and-blood beings.
It seems that these people have been in these mines for a long time.
At this time, a person opened his mouth to highlight a ball of light, and slowly rose to the air here, which was a profession or other skill of his.
The light brightened the place, and although it was still a little dim, it was at least clear enough.
But in the clear vision, the newcomers also saw the appearance of these humans on the other side clearly, all of them inhaled cold air, and an irrepressible chill appeared in their eyes.
Not to these people, but to oneself.
Because they seem to have seen their own future.
The newcomers looked at the people who seemed to be covered in dirt, and these 'old people' all had the same cones in their hands, some even holding two, but the cones were clearly old and worn, and some were even completely broken.
When Ye Zhongming saw dark brown marks on some steel cones, the corners of his eyebrows were raised.
"It's unfortunate that you're doing that." An 'old man' glanced at the person who had just spoken, raised two steel cones in his hands, and turned to the dozens of new arrivals: "As for the food, as well as the water, half of them are left, which is considered a greeting gift, otherwise, we will have to kill you and take these things from your hands." ”
Even if it is full of blackness, you can see the hideousness on this person's face.
Ye Zhongming looked back, and the entrance of the cave, which only allowed people to bend in and out, had been silently blocked by a boulder.
"Bedbug-like things, you're unruly again!"
A voice interjected, breaking the tension between the two sides, and an old man with his hair scattered and his body was not clean, but at least neater than the group that came first, and many people walked into the huge stone hall next to this entrance from the other direction.
And the newcomers found that there was no greenish or reddish in the eyes of these people.
Ye Zhongming looked at the 'old people' who were obviously divided into two factions, and suddenly thought of a possibility, and when he looked at those people with dark green and bright red eyes, he felt a little chilly.
"You're not dead, old fellow."
The filthy man with two steel cones in his hands smiled, but his face was full of murderous intent.
The two groups of people began to confront each other, with more than 200 people each, and the dozens of new people seemed a little alone.
"I welcome you to join my team, and we are willing to share the situation here with you to make it easier for you to live until the day we have a chance to go out."
The relatively clean old man looked at Ye Zhongming and the others and bowed slightly, "My name is Lin Yixun, and these are my children." ”
"Hey, pretending to be a good person, not doing the same thing as outside, old and immortal, they will soon recognize your face."
Lin Yixun shook his head, "It's better than you guys who eat people." ”
When the newcomers heard this, they all moved in the direction of Lin Yixun.
The end times are cruel, cannibalism happens from time to time, but if there is another choice, no one will want to eat the same kind, and for such people, the evolutionaries are usually disgusted and hated.
The thing that Ye Zhongming remembered just now was about eating people, because he often ate human flesh, his eyes would undergo some changes, that is, dark green or crimson.
No one knows why it is clear, no one studies this kind of thing, but the rumors in the previous life are like this, and today Ye Zhongming has really seen it.
That person knew that as long as Lin Yixun broke this matter, then these newcomers would inevitably reject him and his people, and it was impossible to do anything today, so he showed that kind of sinister smile again, and led people to retreat from the passage on the other side.
It's just that before leaving, he glanced at Ye Zhongming and the others, and said coldly: "One day, you will throw yourself into my arms, I will wait for you." ”
Seeing these people disappear into the depths of the dark passage, the scene suddenly became cold, Lin Yixun didn't say anything, but waved his hand to Ye Zhongming and the others, motioned for them to follow, and then walked in front with people.
"What to do? To follow or not to follow? ”
Someone spoke, although these newcomers haven't known each other for long, but in this situation, they still prefer to be with each other.
"Follow, what if you don't!"
It was the boss of a force who spoke, and he was also the person who had highlighted the light skill before, and most of his people were here, so his words were immediately responded, and the team followed Lin Yixun and the others towards the depths of the mine.
As they went deeper into the mine, the newcomers felt that this place was huge, it was like an underground labyrinth, and all of them were dug manually, many people didn't say it, but they were horrified in their hearts, how many people and how much time it would take to be such a mine for a long time.
Only Ye Zhongming, who has an in-depth understanding of the power of evolutionaries, knows that digging such a mine hole is actually not too difficult for evolutionaries to do.
Ye Zhongming paid close attention to the cave walls on both sides, hoping to find something.
The purpose of his entry here was to see what the stone beads that the water deacon who had posted to him hoped for, and then deduce the true purpose of the feast.
As for the people here, he really didn't pay much attention to it, he could see that this old man named Lin Yixun and the leader of the cannibalism just now were both five-star evolutionaries, and they didn't pose a threat to him.
It's just that he walked all the way, and although the light was dim, only a few torches in the team were lit, he could still see clearly, but he didn't find anything.
Soon, these people turned around and came to a stone hall that was not as large as the hall when they entered the mine, but it was not small.
It's just that the stone hall is not high, only one meter eight or nine, and tall people still need to keep their heads down, which gives people a very depressing feeling.
"Sit down, Xiaoliang, let people go to a few entrances around to keep guard, don't be touched by those brutes."
Lin Yixun sat on the ground first, took out his water bottle from the cloth belt taken from his waist and took a sip, and then looked at the newcomers who stood together and did not sit down, looking a little nervous.
"Sit down, you are all hard-working people, and everyone must cooperate with each other in the future."
Some other people also spoke one after another, and after easing the emotions of the newcomers, Lin Yixun continued: "I know you have a lot of doubts, and I will tell you one by one." ”
With a sigh, Lin Yixun said: "In this mine, the people who have stayed in the longest time have been almost a year. The same is true of several other mines, which were the first people to be put in, and it is not easy to survive. ”
"I've been here for more than half a year, because the evolution level is okay, and I was elected as the leader by these children, and if you are willing to follow me, then you are a member of this big family, if you don't want to, you can also act alone, but I want to remind you that the mine is very dangerous, and there are also mutant life here, and there are a lot of them, and the strength is very strong, and one will die if you are not careful." And the people with the black dogs you just saw are deadly threats. ”
"What is a stone bead? What does it do? ”
Ye Zhongming suddenly spoke, making everyone's eyes focus on his face.
He was really a little impatient to listen to this old man's heart, if it weren't for the fact that there were too many people here, the place was narrow, and it was really troublesome to conflict, and he was afraid that there would be an accident and the boat capsized in the gutter, he might have asked directly.
The old man looked at Ye Zhongming with some surprise.
"Shizhu is this." The old man stopped a few subordinates who wanted to come over and teach Ye Zhongming a lesson who didn't understand the rules, took out a gray-white bead the size of a glass ball from his clothes, and threw it directly to Ye Zhongming.
Ye Zhongming stretched out his hand to take it and took it in his hand to look at it carefully.
The feel of the beads is not very smooth, on the contrary, it is a little rough, Ye Zhongming's strength is already great, and when he holds the stone beads in his hand, there is a feeling that he can crush them with a pinch.
After glancing around, Ye Zhongming walked to the side of a torch, and then observed that there were some dark lines on the stone beads, which were irregular, and there was no energy contained in them, which was obviously not a material.
Ye Zhongming was a little puzzled, if it weren't for the fact that the lines on it were a little special, then there was nothing attractive about such stone beads, why would that Gong Shangming pay special attention to it? Why can this thing be exchanged for good things from the water deacon?
"Do you know what this thing is for?" This is Ye Zhongming's second question.
"If I had known, I might not have been trapped here, and if I wanted to live, I could only use these beads to exchange for food and water every day."
Lin Yixun had a good temper and answered Ye Zhongming's question.
"Has this bead been mined here since the beginning?"
"Yes."
"All beads are the same?"
"It's basically the same, but the smoothness is different, and the texture on it is also different, if you can find beads that are close to the smoothness of glass and have a regular texture, you can get more food and water, I think, it should be a higher quality bead."
Ye Zhongming nodded, he didn't speak, he kept looking at the old man's eyes just now, and found that his gaze was very calm, his voice did not hesitate or tremble at all, his heartbeat was not chaotic, and ninety percent of them were not lying.
"But I once heard a message when I was changing food, but I just didn't know if it was true or not. If you're interested, we can talk about it individually. ”
Ye Zhongming was slightly stunned, nodded and returned to his place, sat there and continued to look at Shi Zhu, without giving Lin Yixun any return.
The others looked at the old and the young, and their expressions were a little dazed.
Lin Yixun straightened his body and continued to speak, it was nothing more than some rules here, such as the stone pillars mined, which should be handed over to him to exchange for food together, and his explanation was that in this way he could have a little bit of right to speak, and he could exchange for more materials from the outside.
To survive, you can't just rely on a little food and water, you also need vegetables and salt, and even something to relieve the stress caused by the dark day.
Like cigarettes, like spirits, and even drugs.
In this process, the old man will naturally deduct some deductions, but in return, he will also ensure safety to a certain extent, providing information and many other information and conveniences such as mining site information.
"The black dog thinks that I am the same as those people outside, I am exploiting everyone, I don't deny that I have received some benefits, I eat more than you, drink more water than you, but I also pay, I try my best to ensure that you live and not die, and when one day, our strength is enough, I will take everyone out with me, so, please believe me, because we have a common goal, and a good organization is the foundation of everything."
Ye Zhongming sneered in his heart when he heard this, he did not deny that what this old man said was logical, and the truth could be like this, but to say that he had no selfishness, he didn't believe it, this Lin Yixun must have his own plans.
"Okay, let's talk about this, now is the time for you to make a decision, if you are willing to follow me, stay, if you don't want to, then please leave."
It is not easy to gain people's trust in the last days, the old man said this, but there are still more than a dozen people left, and they are obviously more willing to believe in themselves.
Ye Zhongming didn't move, because he had his own plans.
Soon, the newcomers were set up, they had a few hours of rest, and then they had to get to work.
Ye Zhongming sat against the wall, and after the snoring around him started, he stood up, jumped over the people on the ground, and walked into a passage, where was Lin Yixun's 'room'.
"You're here!"
As soon as he entered, Ye Zhongming saw Lin Yixun sitting there looking at him with a smile, obviously waiting for his arrival.
"How do you tell?"
"One of my professions is that of a visitor."
Ye Zhongming nodded and accepted this statement, the visitor is a middle auxiliary profession, which can probe and estimate some things, obviously the old man has seen his true evolution level early on. In my heart, I admired this old man for being silent for so long.
"You're here for the beads."
"Don't tell me you said you knew a message was a lie to me, then you'd die a terrible death."
"No, it's true, but I want you to promise me one condition."
"Take you out?"
"Stay alive, take me out."
"Yes."
Hearing the promise, Lin Yixun was obviously relieved, and then adjusted before saying: "This is not a real mine, it's just a passage, and the real ore vein is a ...... below Relic! ”
