Chapter 23: Instinct
Yun Xiao and Gong Chun Xiyuan slowly climbed down the hillside to the top of the mountain, and on the top of the mountain they looked at another mountain top in the distance.
There was a burst of fire in the distance, and around the firelight twenty-one people gathered together, their eyes hollow, like puppets staring into the distance.
Even if everyone will team up to improve their survival rate, it is only the level of four people, after all, everyone is suspicious of each other, and it is difficult to ensure that they will not be sold by their accomplices at a critical moment. But there are 21 people on the other side gathered together, which requires trust between relatives.
Twenty-one people were gathered together, and in a place like the top of a hill that was easy to defend and difficult to attack. In a survival game where numbers are the main combat power, it's like an invincible mobile fortress.
Therefore, no one person or group dared to challenge a group that was much larger than its own. The only way to defeat this group is to form a group of similar numbers to fight against it. However, in the absence of communication and mutual suspicion, it is impossible for the rest of the people to be united. I can only wait for the moment of judgment. Just like some invaders buried the local population alive in history, ten invaders with weapons had to bury more than 1,000 people alive, and most of those 1,000 people would have survived if they all escaped when they knew they would be buried alive. But the person who runs away first will definitely be shot to death by the invaders, so more than 1,000 people are waiting for others to run first, and then run again. As a result, people waited for others, so that everyone didn't run in the end, and they were all buried alive. Now the situation is like this, everyone is suspicious of each other, it is difficult to unite to break the group of twenty-one, and in the end everyone can only die together.
"Is that guy stupid? Even if you can protect yourself from being killed, the number of people who will survive will definitely exceed twenty, and everyone will die in the end. Xiyuan looked at the firelight in the distance and cursed.
"Then what should I do, Sister Xiyuan. Why don't we work with someone else and start a group? Yun Xiao asked innocently.
"Are you stupid? Have you forgotten that we were cheating each other against Banos? How do you make sure that you don't get used as a gun by others? ”
"Then Sister Xiyuan, what should we do?"
"I don't know, let's calm down the changes first, it's stupid to act rashly, and it's the best policy to reap the benefits of the fisherman." Yun Xiao listened to Xiyuan's words, and nodded as if he didn't understand.
So the two of them lay quietly on the top of the mountain, although nothing happened, and there was no murderous aura nearby. But every second is a torment for Gong Chun. This feeling is like a person who knows that he will die tomorrow, but there is nothing he can do.
Time passed minute by minute, and before I knew it, it was less than half an hour before the end of the game. During this period, the number of inventories has not changed. Beads of sweat the size of soybeans fell on the grass like raindrops on his forehead.
"Damn, are you tired of all of them? Don't do it by this time. Xi Yuan couldn't help but stand up, shouting and rushing towards the top of the opposite mountain, Yun Xiao following closely behind.
Rather than everyone die together, it's better to fight. Xi Yuan thought about it and rushed towards the top of the opposite mountain. However, before he could reach the mountainside, a man suddenly appeared on the top of the opposite mountain. Xi Yuan and Yun Xiao stood dumbfounded, looking at the figure on the top of the mountain.
"Why did it take so long for you to come, the game is over in less than twenty minutes, and if you don't show up, everyone will die together." A man on the top of another hill spoke, and at the same time, the other twenty people formed two circles around the girl who came alone, Jin Shuangyue.
"I thought it was game over after I slept on the edge of a cliff. I didn't expect it to turn out like this. Fortunately, I still have plenty of time, but I really don't want to do such boring things. Shuangyue said that the grass and trees around her began to die gradually, as if they were suffering from frost.
I see, Shuangyue said as he looked at the twenty people around him. Their expressions were like puppets, and they should have been controlled by Jiang Ziyi's illusions. However, logically speaking, although Jiang Ziyi's ability is very strong, he is a beginner after all, and it stands to reason that he should not have the ability to control twenty people at the same time. Being able to control twenty people can only show one point, that is, these twenty people were voluntarily controlled by Jiang Ziyi. After all, these twenty people were all behind in the physical fitness test, and no one wanted to cooperate with them. If you go it alone, you won't live for 48 hours. Jiang Ziyi must have promised them something, so they volunteered to become Jiang Ziyi's puppets by luck.
"Ziyi, with your ability, it should be easy to stock up. Why do you want to do something like this that everyone might play together. If you bring these twenty people together, they will all disappear because there are more than twenty people alive. ”
"A mortal is a mortal, narrow-minded and foolish." Jiang Ziyi smiled proudly.
"Oh?" Shuangyue looked at Jiang Ziyi with some confusion.
"Shuangyue, to be honest, from the first glance I knew you were the one destined to become the Seven Original Sins. You are amazingly gifted, and you will be a curse in the future. Instead of facing off against you and me in the Chosen War at that time, it is better to solve you first while everyone is equal in strength now, and save trouble in the future. After Jiang Ziyi finished speaking, he waved his hand, and all twenty people pulled the metal collar around their necks without hesitation. Boom" exploded, and a red blood mist drifted around.
Looking at the body that was blown up into parts all over the ground, Jiang Ziyi bent down and picked up a piece of hot meat. "Don't blame me, Shuangyue. People will die eventually, and I just sent you on your way in advance. Before Jiang Ziyi's words fell, a vicious chill suddenly rushed up to his spine.
"Yes, but I haven't lived long enough, and I have to leave a little footprint to walk." After Shuangyue finished speaking, a punch passed through Jiang Ziyi's body, and a strong fist wind spurted Jiang Ziyi's blood out more than a hundred meters.
"What are you kidding?" After Jiang Ziyi finished speaking, she fell with her back to the sky.
Yun Xiao and the people who were observing from a distance in other places watched this scene incredulously. I don't know if the girl standing last was a human or a monster.
"Everyone, there are still ten minutes, and there are thirty people alive at the moment. If, after ten minutes, the number of survivors is still more than twenty, then the metal collar around everyone's neck will explode. Otoko's words woke up the dreamer. Xiyuan immediately came back to his senses and turned his head to look at Yun Xiao, Yun Xiao looked at Xiyuan with an anxious face, "Sister Xiyuan, it's been less than ten minutes, and there are ten more people, what can I do?" ”
yes, it's been less than ten minutes. But it's very difficult to find people now, let alone kill them when you find them. Fortunately, there are only ten more people, and if the remaining survivors have a companion by their side, they just need to deal with their own companions.
"There are enemies." Xi Yuan pointed to the sky as he spoke, and Yun Xiao hurriedly looked over. Taking advantage of Yun Xiao's turn of his head, Xi Yuan directly used a first-order attack to hit Yun Xiao's heart. "Since you said you would protect me even if you risked your life, now is the time for you to make good on your promise." Xi Yuan thought in his heart and rushed towards Yun Xiao's back.
"Danger!" Yun Xiao shouted, and suddenly turned around and hugged Xiyuan. The two men fell to the ground and rolled several times towards the bottom of the mountain.
"I really didn't expect that my blow from the sky would be discovered." Basno said, flapping the dirt on his knees. After discovering the shouting of Xiyuan just now, he chased after him. On the top of the mountain, I saw two people on the mountainside, and I wanted to jump directly from the height to the top of Mount Tai, but I didn't expect to be found and dodge. Although it is more dangerous for one person to deal with two people. But the time is less than ten minutes, and if everyone hesitates, everyone will have to die together. Therefore, I had to try to solve the two people in front of me.
Yun Xiao and Xi Yuan stood up and immediately adjusted their posture and entered the battle state.
"Forget it, the result is the same anyway." Banos said as he pounced on the two men like a tiger.
"Sister Xiyuan, use that." Yun Xiao shouted and rushed towards Banos. Banos smiled and punched. Although Yun Xiao resisted with his palm, after a crisp "click" sound, his arm was directly fractured.
"Die!" At the moment when Yun Xiao and Banos faced each other, Xi Yuan went around to Banos's back and directly punched him with a second-order attack.
Banos grabbed Yun Xiao's shoulder with a backhand, treating him as a human shield to resist it. Xiyuan punched Yun Xiao's chest, and a mouthful of blood gushed out of Yun Xiao's mouth.
"How so?" Banos looked at Xiyuan in disbelief. It stands to reason that a second-order attack is as powerful as a pistol's attack within a hundred meters, and a bullet fired from a pistol should not be able to penetrate a person's flesh. So I directly used Yun Xiao's body as a meat shield, but I didn't expect it...
"It seems that you Westerners don't know that there is a kind of kung fu called fighting cattle across the mountain." Xi Yuan immediately threw Yun Xiao's body to the back, and punched Banos's body again, causing him to completely choke. At this point, less than five minutes before the end of the game, the metal collars around everyone's necks began to flash red and tick watches. This sound means that the number of survivors is still more than twenty, which is the rhythm to be detonated.
"How so?" Xi Yuan said and looked at Yun Xiao. Although the trick was to fight the cattle across the mountain, a considerable part of the strength still hit Yun Xiao's body, plus the damage he received during the duel with Banos, Yun Xiao fainted due to lack of physical strength. Now he is like a sleeping child, lying quietly on the ground.
"Sure enough, in the end, I still have to do it." Xi Yuan said as she rode on Yun Xiao's body, she raised her fist and aimed it at Yun Xiao's Heavenly Spirit Gai. Although this punch may not solve the problem, it will at least add hope to your own survival.
Now with just one thought, you can solve Yun Xiao's life. However, I don't know why, Yun Xiao's smile began to appear in front of him. Of course, she has seen this kind of smile a lot, just like the otaku who like her in junior high school, high school, and college. These people, except for a wave of fanaticism about the people they like, actually have nothing.
Yes, just like yourself. Even if you put in your best efforts, you won't be liked by the people you like. Without results, all the processes are in vain. If that man doesn't become rich, who cares that he's a tired peddler. If that person hadn't been admitted to a prestigious university, who would have asked that person about his struggles in the past. People may not see the efforts behind the winners, but they certainly don't pay attention to the hardships behind the losers. Society and life are like that, just like yourself. No matter how hard he tries, he doesn't surpass his younger brother's grades and will never get the care of his parents.
However, if you do it yourself. What is the difference between yourself and your parents? Xiyuan felt that her vision was a little blurry, and her fists could not be clenched tightly. It was as if an invisible hand was holding on to him, admonishing himself not to do so.
In his eight months of training, although he cooperated with Yun Xiao out of interest. But Yun Xiao really helped himself wholeheartedly. He will help him clean up, and the errands that others tell him to do are also handed over to Yun Xiao to complete. But when other students play hooligans on themselves, Yun Xiao will try his best to protect himself. On his birthday, Yun Xiao also gave himself 999 thousand paper cranes that he had hand-knitted, wishing him that he could fulfill his wishes.
At this moment, a miserable wail was heard from the forest and another hill in the distance. It was the anger of betrayal, the fear of instinct, the thirst for survival. Xiyuan knows that others, like herself, have come to the point when they have to betray their partners. After all, only when the number of survivors is only less than twenty, the metal collar around the neck will not explode. Especially if everyone dies together, it is better to let some of them live. People are like this, in order to survive for themselves, they can do nothing. Survival is the instinct of creatures, and he has nothing to be depressed about, so he threw a punch at Yun Xiao.
