Chapter 6: The Gathering Place
Having dealt with the zombies, the team is ready to move on.
However, as soon as they stood up, they found that their bodies had been controlled by external forces.
The five of them bent down again, and together with ten hands, they held up the zombie that had stopped moving.
They avoided the poisonous blood dripping from the zombies, and together they carried the zombies back to the freezer.
This was naturally done by Tang Hao manipulating them.
He and the small team he controls are now in the early stages of entrepreneurship and are very short of materials.
It must be done at all times, and people should make the best use of their talents.
This zombie may be of great use in the future.
After encountering zombies, the team moved forward more cautiously, but fortunately, they encountered at most a few rats along the way, and never saw any enemies that threatened them.
"We've been out for two days, and we don't know how far the 'Lord' intends us to go." During the break, the tea powder took out a piece of paper and a carbon stick.
These two things were very precious to Mamba when she left.
Another of Chamo's duties is to use them to map the way, where the pipes are so intricately intricate that if you get lost, you won't be able to find your way home.
Perhaps the time comes to ask for the help of the Lord, which, of course, is a last resort when they are forced to do so.
"Thou shalt not tempt the Lord," said Barr solemnly, "it is a great honor for us that the Lord has chosen us to participate in this expedition, and we must resolutely carry out His will." ”
As the son of the chief, the future chief, and the first to be chosen by the Lord, Baal is unsurpassed in his conviction and awareness.
Lias agrees: "Anyway, we have enough dry food, and we will continue to move in the direction we are now until we receive instructions from the Lord." ”
That being said, after being away from the team for so long and being in an unfamiliar environment, everyone was a little apprehensive.
Jim is the youngest here, full of curious ideas, and he's the most energetic in the group.
"Do you say, we're going to meet the wandering traders? I can't remember how many days have passed since the last time a traveling vendor came to us. ”
Jim was a kid at the time, and he only remembered that they had exchanged some polished clear stones for a lot of novelty from the wandering vendors.
Others, however, were not at all relieved when they recalled that meeting.
In this dark world, strangers can never be friendly.
Barr remembers that when the wandering vendor set off the alarm, all of them were like enemies.
After all, those who have the ability to walk alone in this darkness are certainly not ordinary people.
It was also the only time Baal saw his father take out a long tubular weapon from under the idol, which his father said was called a "gun".
The two sides completed the transaction in a very tense atmosphere, although they did obtain a lot of scarce supplies, but because of the location exposure, Mamba arranged a full guard for a whole month, and even almost moved the idea of relocation.
"If we encounter traveling vendors, it's better to keep our distance." Fran apparently also doesn't think it's safe to come into contact with strangers.
Tang Hao could only learn about the world from their chat bubbles.
Since there is such a profession as a traveling trader, there must be many more gathering places like them in this underground world.
How did this world become such a wasteland now, Tang Hao had no intention of getting to the bottom of it for the time being.
He only hopes that this expedition team can find a way to find other groups, communicate more with other people, and thus gain more knowledge of the world.
The key point is whether the module interface behind everyone's neck is born or implanted.
This is related to whether Tang Hao can get up from that damn stone chair.
After another day of walking, nothing happened along the way, and after crossing an intersection, Barr, at the front of the line, suddenly made a gesture to everyone to stop.
Lias looked left and right, didn't notice anything, leaned over and asked, "What's wrong?" ”
Barr pointed ahead, "There's a pair of triggering alarms there. ”
They were two opposite tiles, unremarkable from the outside, but Barr knew them well.
Every day, he and his father inspect the alarms at the entrances to the two passages of the gathering place, which look exactly like the tiles in front of them.
"Could it be that there is a gathering place in front of you?" Lias said with some excitement.
After coming out to explore for several days, he didn't get anything except the zombie, and he was almost bored to death.
Now I finally met other people, not only Lias, but others couldn't help but look forward.
"Don't worry, for them, we are intruders, and my father said that if you go to someone else's territory, you must show enough kindness."
Barr put down the spider claw spear in his hand, took off the spider shell armor on his body, and prepared to go over alone to find out the situation.
Fran said worriedly, "But what if they're not friendly?" Wouldn't it be too dangerous for you to go alone? ”
Barr was confident of this: "With you here, I don't believe they dare to do anything to me." Besides, I still have the Lord's refuge. ”
The other four retreated to the intersection and stood where Barr could see, and after greeting his teammates, he walked alone to where the siren was.
"Woooooooooooo The sound of sirens immediately echoed throughout the passage.
This kind of alarm can detect the size of the intruder, like those small spider monsters, which is a "beep" sound, and if it is a normal person like Barr, it is "woo-woo".
Soon Barr saw several yellow-faced and thin-skinny men, holding rudimentary "weapons", leaning over very cautiously.
Remembering the days before the coming of the Lord, their own gathering place seemed to be no different from each other.
"I come for peace!" Bar Lang said loudly, raising his hands in the air to indicate that he had no weapons.
After the other party set up a defensive formation, a man who was a little hunchbacked slowly walked over.
He pointed to the four people at the intersection in the distance: "They, are they with you?" ”
Barr nodded: "Yes, they are my teammates, don't worry, they are just as friendly as I am." ”
"Your ...... Weapons...... You killed the eight-legged monster?! ”
The hunchbacked man frowned, and although he tried his best to hide it, his voice was still a little shaky.
Unexpectedly, the big spider-man also plagued this gathering place, and Baal nodded: "He attacked our territory, and he brought it on himself." ”
The hunchbacked man clenched the short wooden stick in his hand, stared into his eyes and asked, "What do you want?" ”
