Chapter 8: The Growing Ugliness
When I saw the words "half-price bento", I couldn't react a little. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
Huh?
What the?
What's going on?
Could it be that in such a situation in the last days, there is such a thing as product promotion?
It's impossible, anyway, GP Group's things should be in a situation where you don't have to worry about not being able to sell at all, so there's no need to engage in promotions, right?
Yang Guang was also a little clear when he saw his shocked and confused expression, but there was no need for people of their level to speculate about the plans of the GP Group, because it was meaningless. The only thing he knew was......
"Even if you're a newcomer, you should know how precious Heaven Coin is, if we can halve the cost of necessary lunches every day, what a huge fortune we have to accumulate!"
"What's more, all price bento boxes are half price, which means that the most expensive 10 yuan bento is only 5 yuan! It's the best of the best, and even the prime minister before the Great Collapse didn't necessarily get it! And now we can eat luxuries that we would not normally even dare to think of just by saving money from grabbing a half-price bento in a few days, what could be more fascinating than this!? ”
Yang Guang's face, who said this, also showed an obsessive expression.
Well, he did look forward to it a little bit when he said that, but a trace of entanglement and doubt suddenly appeared on Yi Geng's face.
"By the way, isn't there a limit to the number of half-price bento? Now there are more people in the supermarket than the 100 servings, and if they are aiming for half-price bento, then who can buy it? ”
Because he hadn't seen a queue or anything like that, everyone was standing and waiting in seemingly random circles, and they were all some distance from the shelves of half-price bentos, and they didn't seem to be in a hurry to go up and buy them.
"Ah, of course, because the half-price bento sale hasn't started yet, and everyone is getting ready."
"Prepare what?"
"Ahaha, of course it's - snatching the bento."
"Huh?"
"Of course, it's not just a matter of snatching the bento, but for a limited time, the 100 surviving 100 people can buy a half-price bento by competing in a group game. How's that for a good deal...... Huh? Where are you going, don't go, the half-price bento is not on sale yet, so you can't buy it......"
Yi Geng walked to the counter and said to the bald man dressed in black: "Please give me a copy of this 2 Heaven Coin wild vegetable cover to pour a bento, thank you." ”
The man was stunned for a moment, then accepted the two Heaven Coins he handed over, took out a wild vegetable bento from the counter, and put it in his hand.
I don't know why, after he bought the bento, the originally noisy supermarket suddenly quieted down.
Looking back, Yi even found that many people were staring at him.
What's wrong?
He didn't go to buy a half-price bento, didn't someone come to buy a normal full-price bento before? Is there anything strange about it?
His stomach was so hungry that he wasn't interested in waiting any longer to play games before buying a bento.
And according to his rational judgment, most of the people present are veterans who have experienced many games, and their understanding of the game is almost zero now, and playing with them is completely an act of looking for death.
Not winning the game is secondary, and if he still has to bet on his only two Heaven Coins and lose, then he might as well crash to death.
However, eating under such a stinging gaze, he hadn't awakened a hobby similar to vision (beep-) for the time being, so he still held the lunch box and walked out through the crowd.
"Well, half-price bento? If I can save half the money today, I might want to consider the half-price bento scramble game next time, after all, if I can save half of the money, I will at least be able to eat one meal a day. ”
Walking on the streets, Yi Chang's mind is full of beautiful ideas about how to live in the future. It's no wonder, after all, I like to write novels, and it's become a habit to make up YY or something.
It's just that when passing by an alley, a gust of wind blew, and he suddenly felt something covering his mouth, and dragged him into the dark alley on the side!
Huh?
What's going on?
What's going on?
He didn't understand the situation until he was thrown heavily on the ground, and his body was pounded and ached by the cold brick road.
"Hey, boy, hand over your bento to my brother,"
Huh?
Looking at the three men surrounding him, one of them still had a knife in his hand and shook the cold light, so that Yi calmed down a little and began to gradually control the situation.
"That, that, you guys...... Rob? ”
Hearing his question, all three of them burst out laughing.
"Hey, hey, boy, you're not just coming to the end of the world, are you? Isn't robbery a word that only works in a society governed by the rule of law? Well, although it is not wrong, Lao Tzu is indeed robbing you, but, unfortunately, no one cares about us now. ”
"But, but...... GP's rules of the game state that it is now forbidden to forcibly snatch other people's property outside of the game......"
Hearing his words, the three of them all showed expressions like idiots.
"Wow, do you really believe that?"
The young man patted Yi Geng's cheek with the knife in his hand, and his face was full of sarcastic smiles.
"In today's society, in a city where society is not even a society, can even a GP group really manage everyone's behavior? For example......
He slashed the blade lightly across Yi Geng's neck, and although there was no wound, the sharp aura of the blade made his cold hair stand on end.
"Do you think anyone would know if I killed you here?"
“……”
"It is said that it is forbidden to rob, but it is only for Heaven Coins, after all, everyone's property is on the record, and it is useless to rob it. But for things like supplies or food, even if you rob them, they don't matter at all, you know? ”
At this moment, Yi Geng realized that although everyone still looks like people, the "law" and "morality" that restrict people are gone, and in this case, this society composed of "people" as before has become more dangerous!
But......
Yi looked at the bento that was tightly held in his arms, swallowed his saliva, and the feeling of countless ants biting from his throat made his body show no signs of letting go of his hand before the threat of death.
Moreover, if you really hand it over and don't eat anything, will you be able to hold out until two days later?
A look of determination suddenly appeared on his face.
"I don't ......"
"Overseer, this way! Someone is blackmailing my friend, please hurry! ”
Suddenly, there was a rush of shouts in the quiet street outside, followed by footsteps.
Hearing this, the faces of the three people present changed drastically.
"Oh no, it's the Overseer! Come on! ”
There was no need to communicate at all, and all three of them ran away quickly in the other direction, but before escaping, they still didn't forget to kick Yi Geng's stomach and snatch the lunch box in his arms.
I don't know if it was because the only lunch box was snatched away, or because of the sharp pain from the old wound in my stomach being touched, Yi only felt a little dim in front of me.
In the dark, it was as if someone had lifted him from the ground.
"Hey, are you alright?"
“…… Not. ”
Although he was in pain and hungry, and it was difficult to even speak, he replied with a low whimper to show that he was not dead.
Yang Guang looked at him with a half-dead look, and the expression on his face was a little helpless.
"Alas, forget it, you go to my place first, this is not an area under the supervision of the GP, and it is very dangerous to move alone."
He put one of his hands on his shoulder, "You're so light, you don't think you could eat anything before you came here." Hold on a little longer, I've got some food there. ”
Yang Guang walked down the street with his clothes on, and the people who saw the two people on the road all showed some disdain or disdain, and some showed evil smiles.
Two people were also quietly watching their backs as they left.
"Now, Qin Beast, sometimes I feel ......"
"Huh?"
"Weakness is sin."
“……”
The muscular man looked at the two people who were supporting each other again, and I have to say that for people like them, it is indeed a weak existence that can't even enter the line of sight.
"Let's go."
Ye Qingfang turned around and left without a trace of hesitation.
"Huh?"
Qin Beast, who strode after her, still had a shocked expression on his face, "Big sister, aren't you going to help him?" ”
He was already strange just now, Ye Qingyan would stop himself for a person who was completely unrelated to her, which was already a very abnormal thing.
After all, she is quite self-centered, and other people's affairs seem completely indifferent to her. Since he stopped this time, he even expressed his feelings, why can't he say it if he doesn't help him?
"I said it - as weak, this is their sin! Only the strong can survive in this world. What about helping him now, it is better to let him see with his own eyes the true face of this city, the world's - real than this senseless rescue. ”
Only by experiencing it firsthand will he understand the only creed that he wants to survive in this world.
“…… I know. ”
