Chapter 2: A Chaotic Plot
Zhang Cheng moved his gaze to the last newcomer, but the middle-aged man didn't seem to introduce himself, but stood up and walked towards the door, but when he walked to the door, he couldn't open the door anyway, and then turned around and said with a roar: "You don't have to engage in these things to confuse me, my company has gone bankrupt, all the property is gone, if you are a policeman, then you can go to investigate, I am innocent, and it is illegal to imprison me here." If you are kidnappers, go and read today's newspaper, which has declared my company bankrupt, I now have not a penny, and the property has been confiscated because of huge debts, and even if you kill me, I will not extort a penny. ”
After listening to the middle-aged man's unexplained nonsense, Zhang Cheng no longer paid attention to him, but continued to say to the other newcomers: "Thank you for your cooperation, you will be very glad for your cooperation in the near future." You have also learned that the different horror worlds we are going to experience are all derived from real horror movies, and the horror world we are going to experience this time is "Disappearing on Seventh Street", unfortunately I haven't seen this movie, have you seen this movie? ”
Murong Wei timidly raised her right hand, like a primary school student about to answer a teacher's question. Seeing Zhang Chengchong nodded with a smile, then he fiddled with the bow on his chest and said: "I have seen this movie, I don't understand the specific plot too much, it probably means that the world is suddenly shrouded in darkness, and all people are swallowed up by something like a shadow and disappear, if you want to avoid being swallowed, you need to have light, and there are a few people in the film who happen to have flashlights, candles and other light sources around them when the darkness comes, so they survive." They then gather at a sign bar where there is a sudden generator, but it doesn't seem to have much fuel, and then they are swallowed by the shadows one after another, and the protagonist uses the generator to start the car at the end, and escapes from the bar with one of the remaining boys, but in the end the protagonist is still devoured, leaving only a little boy, who survives by meeting a little girl with a solar flashlight in the church. ”
After Murong Wei finished speaking, Zhang Cheng was confused, a 14-year-old girl was full of fear in this strange environment, expecting her to describe a difficult film very clearly, it was indeed a bit difficult for a strong man. However, Zhang Cheng still nodded at Murong Wei's praise, and said encouragingly: "Very good, you did a good job." ”
got Zhang Cheng's affirmation, Murong Wei seemed to be very happy, in fact, this kind of little girl who has not been deeply involved in the world is much easier to deal with than the old fritters who have been in the society for many years, although the current post-90s generation is more troublesome, but I feel that this Murong Wei is a little out of the mud and not stained.
"Don't act anymore, let me go, although I'm bankrupt, but I still have a few friends who are more capable, be careful that I let you ......" The middle-aged man saw that no one paid attention to him, and began to sprinkle again, his tone was full of threats, but before he could finish the rest of the words, Zhang Cheng had already come to him, and punched the middle-aged man out and hit the wall hard.
"You're going to say another nonsense, be careful that I break your neck!" Hearing Zhang Cheng's words, the middle-aged man kneeling on the ground quickly covered his mouth, retreated to the corner and looked at Zhang Cheng in horror, but he didn't dare to complain about anything, just whispered "woo, woo".
Because of Wei Chuxian's relationship, the newcomers this time were more cooperative at first, so Zhang Cheng didn't plan to use violent means to intimidate them, after all, this would create a bad impression on the newcomers and cause some unnecessary trouble, but this middle-aged man refused to cooperate, and there was no way for Zhang Cheng to make a move, because just now he felt that Xiao Wei in the corner had exuded a cold murderous aura, and it was better for this guy to make fewer shots as much as possible.
When Zhang Cheng made a move, Wei Chuxian's pupils shrank sharply, but they quickly returned to normal, and his expression was still very calm, which was in stark contrast to several other newcomers who shrank together.
Zhang Cheng looked at the newcomers, shook his head helplessly, and said in as relaxed a tone as possible: "I said that as long as you cooperate, no unpleasant things will happen, and this is also for your safety!" ”
"So how are we supposed to make it through this horror movie?" Wei Chuxian raised the question in his heart, and at the same time broke the tense atmosphere.
"You have a mission display on your watch, you look at it, read it out." Wei Chuxian's various performances made Zhang Cheng a little impressed, and he had already identified him as a qualified Zhongzhou player in his heart.
Wei Chuxian nodded, and read according to the display on his watch: ""Disappearing on Seventh Street", main quest: survive for 24 hours. Note: All light-generating items in the main god space cannot be used in this world. ”
The task released by the main god this time was very simple, which made Zhang Cheng, who was going to find some clues from the task, a little disappointed, so Zhang Cheng had to look back at He Chuli, at this time, as a wise man of the Zhongzhou team, it seemed that she should do something.
He Chuli ignored Zhang Cheng's gaze, but pushed his glasses and said to Murong Wei: "Your name is Murong Wei, right, you see what I said is right, what is expressed in the movie is a substance similar to a shadow, which can devour life, and when it appears, all the lights that can produce light sources are extinguished, so you said that the world is shrouded in darkness, but portable portable light sources such as batteries or candles that rely on batteries to emit light are still useful, so there will be survivors, and generators that rely on fuel can also operate, am I right?" ”
Murong Wei scratched her head, her big eyes rolled upward, as if she was trying to remember, and after a moment she nodded and replied, "It seems that this is almost the meaning." ”
"Then I speculate that this shadow-like substance, which I call 'Shadow' here, also seems to have the ability to devour electricity, so objects like candles and torches that do not need electricity to emit light will not be extinguished by Shadow. And the shadow doesn't seem to be able to swallow relatively weak electrical energy, such as batteries, just as a person can pick up a huge rock, but when you pick up fine sand, it will flow out of your fingers, so a flashlight that glows through weak electrical energy can still be used. He Chuli analyzed.
At this time, Murong Wei raised her right hand again like a primary school student, looking very cute. He Chuli didn't mean to blame her, nodded at Murong Wei, and after getting permission, Murong Wei said timidly: "I think of it again, it seems that the flashlight in the movie is always flickering on and off, and the battery is not used for a long time. ”
He Chuli thought for a moment, and added an analysis: "Is it possible to think that the shadow can also devour the weak electrical energy, but it is like holding the fine sand in your hand, although most of the fine sand will flow away from the fingers, but there will still be some residue in the hand, so it can only swallow the weak electrical energy little by little." ”
"Well, your analysis is very reasonable, but what should we do when we know this? Collect as many batteries as you can before it gets dark? Wei Chuxian interrupted inappropriately.
