Chapter 10: The Forsaken
When it comes to choosing the right people to form a team, there is a group of people who are deliberately forgotten.
No one wants to be with them, and at first glance, they know that they will drag their feet, so that most newcomers reincarnate subconsciously exclude these people. Just kidding, this is an infinite space with a high mortality rate and danger, how can Lao Tzu have the spare time to bring irrelevant people.
With everyone else roughly choosing their teammates, these people could only stand aside in trepidation, looking at the other reincarnators who were completely indifferent to their existence, not knowing what they were going to do next.
Of course, they did not "try" to save themselves, but after truly seeing the horrors of this world, they realized that not everyone can muster the courage to face those crazy monsters here, and after losing the external stability and order that they rely on in a peaceful environment, they finally know how cowardly and cowardly they really are.
Most of them would rather sit in a safe place and wait for the unknown fate to befall them than to endure the pain in their bodies to overcome their fears, and many even believe that this is just a joke played by a TV station's wholesome show, and maybe there are cameras hidden everywhere behind this valley.
What a ridiculous idea to deceive yourself.
But there are seven or eight people who think so, more than one-third of the total number of newcomers reincarnated this time, and they are all looking forward to it, and it won't be long before a staff member will come out and tell them the truth.
This is also the reason why Nanshan left here and wanted to go alone, this kind of thing he has encountered many times in the past three years, many guys who are full of fantasies about adventure, and they will not recognize it until they really set foot on a no-man's land full of dangers, this is not the poetry and distance they want at all, but the Infernal Hell that needs to struggle desperately to survive.
From fantasies, to recognizing reality, to disillusionment and despair, the human heart tends to become extremely complex, and compared to the dangers that cease to exist once you are overcome, they are like twisted shadows that stretch out of the endless darkness and want to entangle you and eventually pull you into the abyss where they are.
What the glasses man has to do is to push this process further, so that those who still have hope can see the cruelty of this world in advance.
"Hey, a few over there, your chance has come, I still have a vacancy here to handle chicken, which of you wants to do it."
As if giving alms, he looked condescendingly at a few people who were chatting by the sacred tree, and at this moment, the man with glasses felt like a god who controlled the fate of these people, with a different kind of refreshment.
It's a pity that no one understands his feelings at all.
"Glasses man, I advise you, don't look down on people, if you broadcast such an ugly state to let the audience in front of the TV know, I don't know if there is a shame."
"Yes, I always think I'm very special and smart, but in fact, I don't understand bullshit, but there are many people who perform better than you."
In an instant, the god-like sense of swelling suddenly vanished, and the man with glasses looked at those who were mocking him and scolded.
"You fools who don't recognize the reality clearly, you still think of this place as the earth, and you don't look around, is there such a terrifying monster on the earth, and you are not afraid of humans at all!"
"Also, don't forget, according to the prediction of the guy you admire, these animals will mutate and go berserk at night, and you will be able to chat here leisurely when the time comes!"
It wasn't until he scolded for a while that a voice asked weakly.
"Xiaolin, you're not lying, Boss Zhao really needs a helper to deal with chicken, are you willing to group me?"
It turned out to be Zhang Min, the housewife who planned to defect to Zhao Dezhu at the beginning. It's just a pity that after forming for a while, others soon found out that Zhang Min was completely imaginary, and under the fierce body shape and facial features, she was actually very afraid of pain, and she hid behind others every time, and did not dare to resist the monster's attack head-on. Then, she was decisively abandoned by the others and had to mingle with these escapists. She actually knew the consequences of doing so, but there was no other choice, but what Zhang Min didn't expect was that there was still a glimmer of hope in the end.
But immediately, Zhang Min knew that he was thinking too much, and saw the man with glasses looking at her mockingly and said.
"Don't be stupid, coerce you like this, who dares to form a group, it's good if you don't make trouble, and you still want to share experience. I just look at you pitiful, and give you a chance to continue living, and at night under our protection, you don't have to worry about the attacks of those monsters. Of course, the price is to help us handle the chicken, which should be your specialty. ”
Zhang Min was stunned, she couldn't imagine that the man with glasses would be so bad, and he didn't leave her anything: "Then I'm not working for you in vain." ”
"Hehe, but do you want to live? If you want to live, don't expect so much, and don't look in the mirror, what qualifications do you have to negotiate with us. ”
Looking at the cowering Zhang Min who finally reluctantly agreed, the man with glasses smiled viciously, but he was still a little dissatisfied in his heart.
Originally, the best candidate in his mind was not this ugly middle-aged fat woman, two of the newcomers were quite young and beautiful this time, but unfortunately, one was taken by the muscular man Liu Neng and took it with him, and the other was unwilling to sell his body in exchange for protection, but would rather face the danger himself, which made him regret it for a long time. But it doesn't matter, that stupid woman will give in sooner or later, because in the infinite space full of dangers, there is no room for the existence of the White Lotus.
Fortunately, with the handyman who specializes in handling chicken, the speed of killing monsters in the team has indeed been greatly improved, and they no longer have to wait for more than ten minutes to kill a chicken, but can keep looking for targets one after another.
Not only that, but the quality of the processed chicken has also been greatly improved. Before the free laborer came in, she was worthy of being a housewife, and her methods were so neat and neat that even if she had a grudge, the chicken she had processed could be sold to the butcher for at least twenty or thirty copper coins.
After entering and leaving, they found that not only did they no longer have to worry about the consumption of blood volume, but they could also have some extra balance while buying Xiaohong Medicine.
Including the two people who didn't want to do the dirty work before, they knew what this meant, so that they would have the money to buy equipment after upgrading.
Originally, Zhao Dezhu and others were worried about whether this would be too oppressive and would cause dissatisfaction among other newcomers, but it turned out that if you want to live in the infinite space, you can't be soft-hearted. Instead of letting these idiots sit there and wait to die, it is better to reuse waste and create value for yourself.
However, the few people who were in the excitement didn't notice, and unconsciously, as they killed more and more monsters, the residual smell of blood became stronger and stronger, and the lone pheasants that were originally scattered all over the village had gradually gathered around, staring at the monster-fighting foursome here with red eyes, and moving with them.
From a distance, it looks like there is a pair of invisible hands behind their backs, manipulating these simple-minded monsters and beginning to complete the closing of the trap.
The man with glasses seemed to notice that the density of monsters was increasing, but he not only didn't care, but on the contrary, he laughed: "What do you see, I haven't seen humans kill your companions, a bunch of brainless monsters, they only know how to stare at a person and peck it, but don't worry, wait for Lao Tzu to disembowel you guys one by one and sell them for money." ”
This is the best, and they still have to run around the village, looking for targets.
But just as the boys killed a pheasant and were about to hit the next target's head, as if they had received the signal of the starting pistol, the entire flock of chickens scattered around suddenly boiled. Zhang Min, who was still handling chicken in the distance, was horrified to see dozens of monster pheasants with red eyes flying densely towards the monster fighting foursome.
The terrifying scene that covered the sky and the sun was already extremely terrifying in the eyes of others, not to mention the four people who were in the center of the attack.
In the next second, the inhuman screams sounded from inside, accompanied by endless horror and despair, so that everyone who heard it couldn't help but have goosebumps on their faces.
