Chapter 270: Who Is the Monster (Part II)
After the topper-faced monster finished giving the order, the soldiers took out the hemp rope and made a gesture to step forward to tie up Qin Fei and the others.
Seeing this, Qin Fei immediately glanced at Xie Nanai on the side, signaling her not to resist.
The two have been together for so long, and they have long had a tacit understanding of their cooperation.
After seeing Qin Fei's eyes, Xie Nana naturally didn't make any moves, allowing those soldiers to tie her hands.
Surrounded by a group of soldiers, Qin Fei and Xie Nanai walked towards one of the tallest-looking buildings in the city.
It is a tall fortress-like building made of marble.
It looks like a castle.
Qin Fei estimated that the king of this giant wood city might live in that castle.
On the way to the castle, Qin Fei also saw a few pedestrians on the street.
Not only these soldiers, Qin Fei found that even the pedestrians on the streets had turned into all kinds of monsters.
The appearance of these pedestrians is almost all the appearance of some monsters living in the underground world in the game.
Their reactions after seeing Qin Fei were also very interesting.
After these passers-by saw Qin Fei and Xie Nanai, their faces almost showed a look of fear.
Obviously, in their eyes, Qin Fei and Xie Nanai are the real monsters.
But when these pedestrians found out that Qin Fei and the others were tied up with hemp rope, the fear on their faces gradually turned to disgust and contempt....
After walking for a long time, the group came to a huge tree.
Qin Fei raised his head and looked at it.
This tree, to say the least, is nearly a kilometer high....
As for its stoutness, it would take at least hundreds of people holding hands to barely wrap the tree around.
This giant tree is the 'sacred tree' in the entire Giant Wood City and the entire human kingdom - the Tree of Life!
When passing by the vicinity of this sacred tree, the soldiers escorting Qin Fei involuntarily stopped.
They stared at the sacred tree in front of them, and their faces showed extremely reverent expressions.
The zombie soldiers had words in their mouths and seemed to be praying.
When one of the soldiers finished speaking, he couldn't help but sigh: "Alas.... This tree is so beautiful! It looks good from any angle! ”
"Are you blind? Is this also called good-looking? After hearing this person's praise, Xie Nanai said with a puzzled face.
In fact, this 'sacred tree' that grows in the kingdom of mankind is not as holy and full of divine breath as it is rumored.
Contrary.
On the surface, the upper part of the tree looks fairly normal, similar to a normal tree.
But near the root of the tree, there were countless vine-like veins.
The blood vessels are bright red, which makes the whole tree look a little hideous, and beyond the blood vessels, there are some long-decaying bark.
As if affected by those blood vessels, the rotting bark also took on an eerie bright red color, a color that made the rotten bark look like the flesh and blood of living creatures....
Red flesh in a state of decay.
If ordinary people see this scene, their stomachs will definitely be churning unstoppably, and some people who have poor mental endurance may vomit on the spot.
But it was this disgusting 'tree of life' that became a symbol of beauty and holiness in the eyes of these soldiers.
Seeing this, Qin Fei also had a clear understanding in his heart.
In this way, these mutated humans will not only regard normal humans as 'monsters'.
Even their ability to discern beauty and ugliness has disappeared.
The more disgusting and ugly things are, the better they are in the eyes of these people.
……
After all the soldiers had finished praying, they continued to escort Qin Fei and the others to the entrance of the castle.
After arriving here, Qin Fei found out that the basement of this castle was repaired.
Like the castle above, this crypt is also made of marble.
There are countless compartments in the basement, and there are rows of subway fences outside each compartment.
It is clear that this is a prison.
While walking down the aisle in the prison, Qin Fei took the opportunity to glance into the surrounding cubicles.
Everything was exactly what he expected.
The people in these chambers are ordinary humans who look perfectly normal on the outside, and have not mutated!
After a soldier took Qin Fei to a cell, he kicked him in the back and said in a disgusted tone, "Go in!" ”
After kicking Qin Fei into the prison, the soldier closed the cell door and left in a hurry....
Finally got in!
After entering the cell, Qin Fei glanced around.
The conditions and facilities of the cells in this giant wooden city are very simple, and the number of people held in each cell is almost about four.
In Qin Fei's cell, in addition to him, there was also an old man, an obese woman who looked old, and a child.
The child and the woman appeared to be a mother and son.
Normally, different prisoners are usually separated according to their gender.
However, in the eyes of those human beings who have mutated, Qin Fei's 'monsters' have no age or gender.
Therefore, when they imprisoned Qin Fei and other normal people, they all threw people into the cell indiscriminately, and they didn't care anymore....
Soon after Qin Fei came in, the old man in the cell took the initiative to come up and say, "Young man, where were you caught?" ”
Qin Fei replied: "I'm not from this city, I was arrested by them as soon as I arrived here..."
"Ugh...."
After hearing Qin Fei's answer, the old man sighed deeply.
Qin Fei asked the old man, "I still don't know, what the situation is here, why have those people outside become monsters?" ”
"Those people out there turned into monsters?" After hearing Qin Fei say this, the old man showed a puzzled look on his face.
He asked with a puzzled face, "Haven't all the people who turned into monsters already been caught?" ”
After Qin Fei heard the old man's words, he felt extremely shocked in his heart.
What's going on?
What did the old man mean by that?
What do you mean by 'those who have become monsters have been caught'?
Qin Fei suddenly felt that the whole world had become unreal.
The meaning of the old man's words is obvious.
Not only the soldiers and pedestrians outside, but even the old man thought that the people in this prison had become monsters....
After understanding this, Qin Fei finally figured it out.
Perhaps, even the worldview of these 'normal people' has also been changed.
Qin Fei guessed that in addition to him and Xie Nanai, as well as those who came out of the nameless village, maybe the people of the entire world had already been affected!
Whether it's the soldiers outside, the pedestrians, or the people in their cells.
Whether it is a person who has become a monster or a paper figure that has not yet been transformed, in the eyes of everyone, those humans who have become monsters are truly normal!
And people like Qin Fei and Xie Nanai are outliers and monsters!
At the same time that Qin Fei came to this conclusion, a black mist came out of the wall of this cell and gradually turned into Xie Nana's appearance.
It seems that this guy must have used the shadow form to sneak away from another cell.
After Xie Nana changed back into her human form, her face looked a little flustered.
She asked Qin Fei in a slightly anxious tone, "It's over, it's over, we're not really going to become monsters, are we?" ”
Who is the monster?
