Chapter 48: Murder
It had been 8 days since Chen Mo entered the captive factory, and in these 8 days, in addition to the man he killed on the first day and the woman who was resisted on the second day, he witnessed 6 blood food selections in the remaining six days.
The selection of blood food is simple, the cleaner appoints a person, gives him ten minutes, chooses one person to fight, and the defeated side is taken away for the daily sacrifice.
Except for the 2 times when the designated personnel selected the duelist, the other 4 people were all paralyzed on the ground at the same time as they were selected, let alone fighting, and it was difficult to even stand up.
This gave Chen Mo a more intuitive understanding of the combat effectiveness of these survivors in the hall on the first floor, it was simply scum to the extreme, and he didn't even have the courage to fight, no wonder he would fall to the bottom.
Chen Mo was not selected, nor was Xia Yu, and even the three survivors who were banished were not selected, obviously, the cleaners seemed to be trying to eliminate the weak survivors, coupled with the floor rules set by the mutant zombies, Chen Mo vaguely caught something in his heart, here, it seems that it is not only a place to satisfy the appetite of the mutant zombies.
The little girl named Tongtong is silent, not at all as lively and cheerful as she should have at her age, the only thing that makes Chen Mo happy is that although this little girl doesn't like to talk, she agrees with her protection, no matter where she goes, she will follow tightly by tugging on the corner of her clothes, even if she goes to the toilet, she will stay at the door and wait.
Feeling the little girl's dependence on him, Chen Mo's shoulders felt heavy, at first he was just out of unbearable psychology, but now, he is slowly getting used to this silent little tail behind him.
Whether it was for the hope of escaping or for Tongtong, Chen Mo strengthened his physical exercise.
He spent most of the day exercising, and he looked a little out of place in this hall like the Dead Realm, but no one said anything, and no one was in the mood to meddle in the shadow of death.
Xia Yu did not stay with Chen Mo, but stayed alone not far away, different from Chen Mo's hard work, he spent most of the day in a daze, his expression was sometimes gentle, sometimes painful, sometimes gritted teeth, obviously recalling some past events.
Chen Mo didn't ask him, in the end of the world, everyone has their own secrets.
The three exiled survivors, the first two days of the fierce breath is still there, but with the passage of time, the sharpness on the body is gradually decreasing, they have lost the value of turning over, the scars on everyone's body are irreparable, the tendons are all abolished, obviously in the survival battle between the survivors, there is no mercy, some, just cruel, although not killed, but the feeling of waiting for death is more terrible than death.
This also gave Chen Mo an intuitive understanding of the cruelty of the right to live on the floor between the survivors, so he exercised more diligently, and strength was king.
====
On the afternoon of the ninth day, two cleaners appeared in the lobby on the first floor, and it was time for the blood food to be selected.
This time, it was a thin young man who was chosen.
When an older cleaner pointed his finger at him, the thin young man instantly collapsed to the ground as if he had lost his strength, and there was unconcealed fear in his eyes.
Looking at the thin young man who was soft into a puddle of mud, the older cleaner said lightly.
"The old rules, give you a chance to choose, you, you can choose a person to fight for life and death, if you can defeat him, then he will replace you as blood food, chance, only this time!"
As for the words of the elder cleaner, the thin young man just muttered with a blank expression.
"Why me? How could it be me? ”
Looking at the emaciated young man who seemed to have lost his mind, the cleaner's brow furrowed.
"Are you going to give up the chance to fight?"
This sentence seemed to awaken the thin young man's senses, and he gritted his teeth and got up from the ground.
"Okay, I'll pick one!"
After speaking, the thin young man's eyes glanced around, and a pair of eyes were bloodshot, revealing crazy and ruthless meaning.
Most of the survivors he watched avoided his gaze.
Only a few people did not avoid it, the trio of survivors who were banished, Xia Yu, and Chen Mo.
These were the only people in the hall who stared at the emaciated youth.
The eyes of the trio of survivors who were banished were violent, and the warning implication contained was self-evident, if the thin young man chose one of them, even if he won by luck, he would have to face the retaliation of the other two, Xia Yan's eyes flashed with disdain, and Chen Mo was indifferent.
After scanning the hall, the thin young man's face changed uncertainly, and he considered who to choose as the object of the gladiatorial fight.
Chen Mo, Xia Yu, and the survivor trio were automatically filtered out from the bottom of his heart by him.
It's just that those who can stay until now are not easy to match, otherwise they would have been selected as the target of gladiatorial fights by the previous survivors.
Just when the thin young man's eyes swept around among the survivors and hesitated, the corner of his eye suddenly caught a glimpse of the little girl behind Chen Mo, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he pointed at the little girl and said.
"I choose her!"
As the thin young man's voice fell, most of the people's eyes turned to the little girl, which made her little face flush with fear, and her thin body shrank behind Chen Mo.
Chen Mo looked at the thin young man coldly, and the cold color in it made the thin young man feel a palpitation inexplicably, but it was nothing compared to life, so he looked away and looked at the cleaner, waiting for the other party's reply.
The cleaner frowned slightly, but immediately stretched out and nodded slowly.
"Yes!"
The cleaner's words made the thin young man's face show a touch of joy, although he had witnessed the scene of Chen Mo killing that man before, but at this moment, life was at stake, the only thing in the hall was certain, this little girl, a child, how much of a threat could he have, as for the anger of Chen Mo after killing the little girl, that was an afterthought.
A dagger tip protruded from the thin young man's forehead, freezing his smile on his face, and the thin young man's pupils instantly lost focus, and with a blank and incredulous look, his body slowly fell to the ground with a muffled sound.
The older cleaner didn't look at the emaciated young man lying in a pool of blood, but looked sideways at Chen Mo, who threw a dagger to kill the emaciated young man, with no surprise or joy on his face, and some were just calm.
"What do you mean by that?"
Although the elder cleaner's words were flat, an inexplicable evil aura emanated from him, and a faint flash of red flashed in his pupils, not angry and arrogant.
Chen Mo didn't care about the killing intent emanating from the older cleaner, and said lightly
"Anyway, you just want to give it to the mutant zombies alone, I'll save you trouble!"
The older cleaner looked at Chen Mo indifferently and did not speak, but the evil aura on his body became more and more intense, and the atmosphere was extremely tense for a while.
After half a ring, the older cleaner was full of anger, and after glancing at Chen Mo meaningfully, he turned his head and said to the cleaner beside him.
"Carry this corpse away!"
