When they hit the road again, everyone in the squad had an M16.

Including Lynch.

Although he refused to accept the weapon, he protested strongly when Guo Bo shoved it into his hands. "I'm not going to use this!"

At this time, He Xie was dragged out as a negative example.

"Neither will he." Guo Bo said sternly, "If you want to live, take it." ”

"I don't think it will make a difference." Lynch saw himself very clearly, since he didn't know how to use it at all, with or without M16, his survival probability was the same, it only depended on luck and whether the rest of the people would pull him at a critical moment, and the "rest of the people" did not include He Xie.

His meaning is very clear, and so is Guo Bo's.

"No one will look at your ass in a moment." He yelled at Lynch, "Take it, and you'll be glad you still have a gun in your hand when you're ready to fight hard." ”

His attitude was tough and unfriendly, which frightened Lynch and did not insist on his assertion anymore, but took his rifle and went into the woods.

He still had no intention of using it.

He Xie couldn't understand Lynch's thoughts—as far as he knew, no one would refuse a weapon to their door when they were in danger, except for horror comedy movies like screaming. Can't use? It doesn't matter, it can at least provide a little false sense of security, psychological comfort, so that the person does not panic too much.

But Lynch, he reacted like he had given up on treatment.

This means that he will become a burden to the team, which in turn will bring danger to the safety of others, in fact, only He Xie.

He Xie decided to investigate, so he still walked with Lynch: this chattering guy will most likely inadvertently reveal his true thoughts.

To his surprise and disappointment, perhaps due to the influence of Guo Bo's threat, Lynch suddenly fell into a completely different silence from before, not saying a word, just walking with his head down. He Xie once wanted to take the initiative to provoke the topic, but he was worried that his change would be too blunt and cause unnecessary suspicion, so he had to give up in the end.

Duredom became the only tone of the journey.

It was only when they reached the area where King Kong had fought the giant squid that things got better: Chapman stepped into the water to wash his wounds, Mo Fei, Guo Bo, and Qin Lang were on guard, and as long as they kept their voices low, it seemed that no one would hear their conversation, so Lynch felt that he could break the silence.

Probably.

Ideas are always hard to guess, but Ho Xie is glad to see him speak.

"They don't like me." Lynch looked at him, "You too." ”

His accusations embarrassed Mr. He — and the point is, he was right. After thinking about it, He Xie found a reasonably reasonable reason: "You have too many words. ”

Lynch shook his right index finger in disapproval. "That's why you don't like me, not theirs."

"So what do you think?"

"I'm new."

"Me too."

"So they don't like you either." Lynch said, moving a little closer to He Xie in order to keep his voice low, "They won't protect us." ”

"You think they'll protect us?" He Xie did not hide his surprise. If Lynch wasn't kidding, that's a big deal......

Satirize?

How could he think that three strangers he had just met would protect him?

He Xie then realized that maybe it was the answer to his question. "So you don't think it's necessary for you to bring a weapon?"

"Of course!" Lynch's attitude of course left He Xie dumbfounded. His reaction was equally confusing to Lynch. "You don't think so?"

"How do you think that?" He Xie asked rhetorically.

"Because they should! This is the Lord God—" Lynch looked around to make sure no one was heard, and continued, "Let's form a team with them. It wants the strong to protect the weak, so as to avoid the tragedy that the vast majority of newcomers can't even survive the first mission. ”

He Xie didn't know where he saw these strange insights, but most of them wouldn't be infinite stream novels.

He wasn't even sure if Lynch had seen such works.

"Have you really seen Infinite Stream?"

"I've seen a lot."

"I don't read much, I don't know which book has these theories."

"That's my own summary." With a bit of pride, Lynch said, "I think most of the novels have a serious logical problem with the main god. They arrange for reincarnators to fight each other, let the strong eliminate the weak, and finally get a super soldier, but this behavior is meaningless, with the ability they have, if they really need super soldiers, why not just make one, or a group? ”

He Xie still disagrees with him. "Maybe the fight itself is the meaning."

"Like the gladiatorial fights that the Romans loved?"

"Humans love violence."

"The Lord God is not a human being, He is a transcendent being...... Things, you can't use human preferences as a reference. Lynch accentuated, "Besides, not everyone likes violence, not even most. ”

"You should look at the history of mankind."

"The history of humanity has seen such feats as the Nonviolent Non-Cooperation Movement."

An admirer of Gandhi...... As a Chinese? He Xie felt that Lynch was beyond the comprehension of his narrow gaze, and if he was like this, then it was best to treat him in the way he was prepared to treat Guo Bo.

Stay away from him.

But there were some things he just couldn't help but say. "Non-violent non-cooperation? Of course, I know. He smiled, "If you don't have violence, you won't cooperate." ”

At this moment, he felt that Lynch's expression was a little distorted. "Your history and Chinese are taught by your PE teacher?"

Great question, but the answer, of course, is no.

He returned the favor with a smile.

It was then that he suddenly remembered something else that Lynch had said, which was a good weapon against him. "Leave the Indians alone." He reminded Lynch, "You should remember the rules of this world, you yourself told me, you can only leave if you win 25 times in a row or kill 100 reincarnators." He concluded, "The existence of such rules means that our Lord God loves to fight, no different from most Lord God." ”

It's not even too much: he doesn't know of any novel in which the main god makes the killing of 100 reincarnated people a condition for leaving the reincarnation world.

He didn't think Lynch knew either.

"You even get an assumption," he continued, "that the Lord God doesn't want anyone to leave. ”

"Yes, I said it, and I used Death Speeder's Frankenstein as a reference." Lynch didn't forget what he said, but he had some new insights, "The rules are a trap, just to lead ordinary reincarnators astray, and only the wise who find the right way can return to the original world." ”

"Wise man?" This word gave He Xie goosebumps.

"It just occurred to me that maybe this is the intention of the Lord God, to find out the true wise man through a rigorous examination." Lynch was excited, as if he had found the ultimate answer to life, the universe, and everything.

He Xie's head began to hurt. In a team of five people, having one madman would have been a serious disaster, but now there are two.

He began to think about how he should get rid of Lynch, at least to end the conversation.

He looked around. Chapman was still cleaning his wounds, and the other three members of the team were still on guard duty a little further away. Then he remembered a question: where did the super gorilla go?

According to the movie, it should have appeared a long time ago.

There are also giant squids in the water, which also seem to be motionless.

He Xie was a little nervous, and began to worry that the direction of the evolution of the situation was no longer consistent with the original plot, although as a reincarnation, this was the result of his and the others' pursuits - but there were still differences in the results pursued by each person - but if the change that occurred was not intentional by the reincarnation, then it only meant a problem.

Troublesome.

Reluctantly, he gestured to the other three and summoned them to his side.

"We're in trouble." Before anyone could speak, he preemptively said to them, "The super gorilla and its dinner are all gone." ”

"I've noticed." Qin Lang looked at Mo Fei and Guo Bo. Both nodded at the same time, indicating that they had found the same thing.

"So what should we do?" He Xie asked impatiently.

No one answered his question, just looked at him.

After a few seconds, Qin Lang said, "You are very nervous. ”

He Xie nodded quickly in agreement with his judgment. "I'm worried about our gorillas." And just the gorilla, not counting its seafood feast, "it may have been entangled in a skeleton monster, it could have been seriously injured, it could have been attracted to something else." We can only confirm one thing, and now it is alive. ”

But only now. He Xie became more worried.

"Relax." Guo Bo cleaned his fingernails with a bayonet, looking nonchalant, "Maybe our gorilla just decided to come here another day." ”

"If this is the natural world, it is possible," He Xie said quickly, exposing his nervousness, "but this is a plot world, and everything that happens here must be carried out according to the movie script before we interfere with it, and even if there is a deviation, it will not be too bad." ”

"We've interfered with the plot."

"But not enough!"

His uneasiness made Guo Bo also become cautious. He exchanged a look with Qin Lang and put away his bayonet. "What are you going to do?"

"We should find it and confirm that it's still safe."

"So we have to give up on the skeletons?"

"I'm afraid so." In fact, He Xie didn't think of this at first. He was just worried about the super gorilla, after all, they could only live if it was alive. Being able to avoid the Skeleton Monster – even if only temporarily – was an unexpected surprise.

If Guo Bo agrees.

He looked at Guo Bo, Qin Lang was also looking at him, and Guo Bo looked at Mo Fei as always.

Mo Fei thought about it for a moment and made a decision: "We'll wait." ”

"Waiting for the super gorilla to show up?"

"Wait for Major Chapman to finish his business." Mo Fei turned sideways and showed everyone Mr. Major, who was still cleaning his wounds. He's been washing for a long time, and no one knows how long he'll continue to wash. In any case, since he was worth as much as 2,000 points, Mo Fei decided to forgive his sluggishness.

"And then?"

"Then we set off to find our super gorilla."
