"So what do we do now?"
Looking at the silent people on both sides, Peng Hu finally asked a question that was of practical significance at the moment.
As the question came out, everyone had different reactions. Only Zhao Ping seemed calm. The calm man in glasses responded first, raising his head and answering as if nothing had happened: "No need to do anything. Anyway, Nu Qi will give priority to killing Liu Dong’s group, and we just need to continue to observe.”
As mentioned above, Zhao Ping's tone was extremely calm when he spoke, but it was so chilling in other people's ears. It is obvious that the strategy of the man with glasses has not changed, and he still insists on treating Liu Dong and other plot characters as Experimenting with mice, the executor will observe and look for more clues from the deaths of those people. If necessary, the man with glasses will not even mind using someone as a test subject again on the pretext of 'saving people'.
Zhao Ping's plan is naturally quite cold-blooded, but unfortunately this is the only way at the moment.
After saying these words and ignoring the reactions of others, the man with glasses turned around and walked away, heading towards the house without looking back.
………
House, left bedroom.
"Mr. Liu! What are you still hesitating about? We need to leave here quickly, otherwise you, me, and all of us will die here!"
Listening to the anxious words in his ears, Liu Dong sat by the bed and lowered his head in silence. Meng Fei and Fang Min stood on the left and right sides, and opposite Zhang Zhiyong, who looked more nervous than anyone else.
With a nervous expression and an urgent tone, Zhang Zhiyong was the first and first person to notice that Zhang Qifeng was abnormal. In other words, he felt something was wrong when Zhang Qifeng came out of the toilet during the day. He didn't take it seriously at first until he saw the other person with his own eyes. Finally, seeing the pitiful death of the pockmarked man, Zhang Zhiyong's fear and anxiety increased in a very short period of time. In addition, several people also learned some information about the nymph from the man with glasses, and this information happened to be exactly the same. It became the last straw that broke the camel's back, causing him to be nervous and panicked all day long. It was too scary. The female hawk was too scary. Although humans generally cannot see 'her', once they see it, it will It's like being sentenced to death, 100% guaranteed to die. Anyone who sees someone die will definitely die!
I don’t deny that many times people are used to scaring themselves, but the problem is that in the face of the naked reality, even rational people will not think that this is just purely scary. There are too many examples. Ma Zhilong and Liu Chuanfa died suddenly, and Zhang Qifeng died tragically. , this scene is too real to be faced with the truly terrifying reality, and anyone will burst into tears. In order not to end up with the same fate, in order to survive, the idea of escape arises leisurely. Once this idea appears in the mind, it will It could not be erased, and the result was clear at a glance. As soon as he returned to the bedroom, Zhang Zhiyong immediately made a request to Liu Dong and asked to leave the town as soon as possible.
Suffering from the oppression of death, Zhang Zhiyong felt and instinctively urged him. However, as the team leader and the boss of several people, after listening to Zhang Zhiyong's strong suggestions, Liu Dong did not speak or answer. Instead, he hesitated, even though Zhang Zhiyong had sworn to say If you don't leave, you will die, but he, who has always been calm in dealing with things, still refuses to answer. The reason is that he thinks more and considers more than Zhang Zhiyong.
Yes, Zhang Qifeng died, and his death was extremely miserable. What Zhang Zhiyong said in front of him may be true, but if he just escaped and left the town, everything would be fine?
Because the initial encounter was so profound, Liu Dong knew clearly that even if he left the town, he would not be able to leave the forest. And how many days could they last without food? What's more, before returning to the house, Zhao Ping reminded him that the killing range of locusts is very large and is not limited to small towns. In other words, there is no difference between being in the mountains and staying in a small town. If you escape from the town because you are afraid of locusts, you will not be able to leave the mountains and forests. They still can't get rid of the female locust.
"Zhiyong, please don't rush Mr. Liu. I think we should continue to stay here. Even if we leave the town, we still can't get out of the forest. Don't forget how Ma Zhilong and Liu Chuanfa died. They both died in In the mountains and forests.”
Sensing Zhang Zhiyong's excitement and seeing Liu Dong's tangled expression, Meng Fei instinctively comforted her and patiently persuaded Zhang Zhiyong on Liu Dong's behalf. To be honest, for now, the beautiful woman was as scared and helpless as everyone present, especially in the After seeing the tragic situation of Zhang Qifeng, the woman subconsciously believed that she would die sooner or later, which was not much different from Zhang Zhiyong. That was true. The only difference was that she did not want to leave the town and still insisted that the status quo should be maintained. ,reason? There was no reason, just a woman's intuition, which told her that leaving the town was not a good choice.
As the saying goes, once a Taoist is stubborn, it is difficult to change. This is true. As Meng Fei tried to persuade her, and as Liu Dong remained silent for a long time, Zhang Zhiyong immediately guessed what they were thinking. When he was dissatisfied, he opened his mouth to argue. Unexpectedly, he refused to give up. When he still wanted to speak again and continue to urge...
Opposite me, Fang Min, who had been in a daze since returning to the bedroom, suddenly raised her head, as if she had hurriedly regained consciousness. Then, while trembling, she mentioned something to several people in a trembling tone, something that she was most afraid of personally. Question: "Mr. Liu, Sister Meng Fei, before leaving, Zhao Ping seemed to have told us that there was a certain pattern in killing people, and they seemed to kill people in order. He also said that they would most likely start killing people from our group. This is what he said. is that true?"
As soon as Fang Min said this, the environment immediately cooled down, and everyone's already pale faces suddenly became even paler than before!
Fang Min, this woman who used to be proud and arrogant, but has recently been tortured and timid by all kinds of experiences, suddenly said something at the most inopportune time and place. These words were like a basin of ice water being poured all over her body, and everyone was shocked. Bones are cold and the whole body is cold.
The female locust can kill people, and she can kill people in order, and she will most likely start with her own group of people!
In fact, to take a step back, even if Zhao Ping didn't tell them specifically, after seeing Zhang Qifeng's tragic death, Liu Dong and others had already had questions in their own minds. A question that instinctively popped up due to inertia, that is, why did he die one after another? Are they all from this team? But Zhao Ping and his gang have always been safe? It wasn't until the bespectacled man clearly informed the executor of all the speculations, and combined with the actual situation, that several people believed it, and vaguely realized that what the other party said was true. They vaguely felt that the tiger seemed to be killing people in a certain order, and they were the first to bear the brunt!
"This...should be true. Otherwise, why are the people who died always from our side? Maybe, maybe only after we are all dead, will it be the turn of Zhao Ping and others."
When Liu Dong admitted the authenticity of the question with a pale face, Zhang Zhiyong looked stunned and immediately snorted: "Humph! Why did the man named Zhao and his companions behave so calmly? It turned out that they had known it for a long time. The result is that, at least their group will be fine until we are all dead."
His words were dissatisfied and his expression was indignant. After a pause, the man continued to say coldly: "But what's the use of this? No one can hide from the women anyway. Once we are all dead, their group will not be able to survive. The only difference is It’s just that you die early and die later. To be honest, if death is really unavoidable, I would rather commit suicide than become a pile of scraps!”
………
The long night has finally passed, and the morning glow has returned to the world. The morning light has begun to appear, and the rising sun has come to represent the arrival of a new day.
The environment is so beautiful, but unfortunately it has nothing to do with a certain mountain town.
This place is shrouded in fear and shrouded in death. A large number of countless mutilated corpses are irritating and oppressing everyone at all times, causing a group of living people trapped in the mountain to live in fear all day long.
The third day of the supernatural mission, 8:22 am.
At this moment, except for He Fei and Yao Fujiang, the living room was full of people. The remaining executors, together with Liu Dong and several business white-collar workers, all gathered here. It seemed to be the same as yesterday, but in fact there were changes. Not to mention that there were missing people. The atmosphere is much duller than yesterday.
Yes, there are people gathered together, but most of them are dull and silent. At present, everyone is silent and sitting on the sofa, and no one speaks from the beginning to the end.
It's a pity that silence can't solve the problem. As the silence continued and the depression became stronger, about two minutes later, Liu Dong, who was sitting opposite Zhao Ping, broke the silence first. I don't know if he had thought about something earlier. First he raised his head, and then as if He made up his mind and said to the man with glasses in a pleading tone: "Mr. Zhao! Please help us! Help us. If what you said last night is true, then we will have no way to survive, let alone if we Death rays will do you no good at all, so no matter what, you and I must help each other and deal with it together!"
Language is an art, and there is a lot of knowledge in it. The same paragraph often has different meanings when spoken by different people. As a business white-collar worker, Liu Dong's words are full of pleading on the surface but actually contain a reminder. According to him, When it came to the words 'no good at all', the man also deliberately emphasized the tone, and the charm was self-evident. It was clear that he was asking for help and at the same time reminding the other party not to ignore us, because we are finished. It's your turn!
Everyone knows the meaning of lips dying and teeth falling cold, and at this moment Liu Dong did use this reasoning to hint to the other party.
Sure enough, as soon as Liu Dong's words came out, Meng Fei and Fang Min followed closely behind him and looked expectantly. They both looked at Zhao Ping expectantly. Unfortunately, the man with glasses did not answer immediately and did not express his opinion first. Instead, he seemed unable to hear it. The words hinted at the expression on his face, and he just scanned the four people opposite him with his eyes. After a long time, he finally answered: "Mr. Liu, I think you should understand that it's not that we won't help you, but that I already did it last night. I’ve told a few of you that the killing method of this female locust is too weird, and we have no way to deal with it. Even now, we still have no way to deal with it. I admit that it will not do us any good if you all die, and it means that the next group of people will inevitably die. It’s us, but the problem is that so far no one has figured out a way.”
Zhao Ping's answer was half true and half false. The truth was that the executor had not found a solution yet, but the lie was that the bespectacled man and the other party did not intend to save each other. Not only did they not save each other, they had other plans, and even planned to take advantage of When the other party was attacked by a locust, he observed the details in order to get more clues. To put it bluntly, he used these business white-collar workers as experimental consumables. After all, props are too precious and executors will never use props for experiments unless absolutely necessary. , in Zhao Ping's eyes, Liu Dong's group is just a group of NPCs. He will never waste personal items to save each other, and this decision was precisely what he discussed with the other senior people last night.
So naturally, while the bespectacled man was talking, Cheng Ying and Chen Xiaoyao on his left and right sides were silent. Only Peng Hu looked hesitant and slightly confused. The bald man wanted to say something, but in the end he couldn't say anything. Didn't say.
In the living room, as Zhao Ping shook his head and refused, and as the man expressed his helplessness, the result was predictable...
Silence returned to the scene, and Liu Dong, Meng Fei, and Fang Min all looked disappointed, and in the end, they were getting closer to despair.
Bang!
Suddenly, when the silence reached the tenth second, Zhang Zhiyong moved across the sofa. Finally, he couldn't hold back the anger in his heart, slapped the table and stood up suddenly. Then he yelled at the man with glasses with a ferocious expression: "Zhao Ping ! Stop pretending here! Don’t think that I don’t know what you have in mind. Although I don’t know what you guys do, I can still guess from what you have done recently. You They shouldn't be ordinary tourists, right? Otherwise, how could you be so calm in the face of such a strange situation? You...who are you!?"
One stone stirred up a thousand waves, and oppressed by fear, Zhang Zhiyong began to go crazy and became angry. In anger, the man broke the window paper regardless of breaking the window paper, and asked all the recent doubts about the executioner. Sure enough, as soon as these words came out, the scene was in an uproar. Among them, Liu Dong and the three were the most surprised. To be honest, they had never doubted each other's identity earlier. However, at this moment, after Zhang Zhiyong said this, under the influence of it, for a while, whether it was Liu Dong, Meng Fei or even Fang Min, They were all vaguely aware that something was really wrong. After thinking about it carefully, they got the impression that although some people in Zhao Ping's group were as panicked as themselves, others were much calmer, such as the girl named Cheng Ying. , such as the bald man, and the arrogant young man who claimed to be a Taoist priest last night. Faced with various dangers and crises, the calmness of the above people is almost as good as Zhao Ping. In this case, the problem arises, that is …
Are the people in front of me really just ordinary tourists as the other party claims?
With confusion and suspicion mixed in, Liu Dong and the others subconsciously turned their doubtful eyes to the opposite side, towards the executioners.
Of course, he was puzzled and stared at. In fact, all the above only existed for a few seconds. When he suddenly came back to his senses, Liu Dong suddenly felt that something was wrong, and then he secretly cursed Zhang Zhiyong's unwise move. Although the four of them said The current situation can be described as extremely dangerous, but after all, there is no immediate fatal threat, and the other party may need help in the future, so the more this happens, the less likely it is to offend the other party, not to mention that there is someone in the other team who claims to be able to ward off evil spirits. Taoist priest, let’s not say whether it is true or false. What if it is true? What if it’s really possible to ward off evil spirits? Once he annoyed the group of people on the opposite side, Zhao Ping would just ignore them and ignore them...
"Zhiyong, shut up! How can you talk to Mr. Zhao like this!?"
"Ah, I'm sorry, Mr. Zhao. My subordinate didn't mean to offend you or everyone else. He was just too nervous. Everyone knows the current situation anyway."
As his mind was spinning, Liu Dong turned around and scolded Zhang Zhiyong, and immediately got busy and apologized on Zhang Zhiyong’s behalf. Seeing this, Zhao Ping waved his hands indifferently to show that he didn’t mind. Not only him, but Cheng Ying and others on the side also guessed the same. It can be concluded that Zhang Zhiyong and even Liu Dong are mentally active. Indeed, Zhang Zhiyong has been nervous and on the verge of collapse as early as last night when Zhang Qifeng was killed. As for Liu Dong, although this person seems to be more scared than his subordinate, but Judging from his instant apology reaction, it can be easily seen that Liu Dong obviously does not intend to break up with the executor, and still hopes to get help from the executor. Thinking of this, everyone can't help but sigh in their hearts, he is indeed able to climb to the top in the company As expected, the general manager's mind is much stronger than that of his subordinates.
The only regret is...
Although he said he didn't mind, Zhao Ping, who had already decided on a strategic policy, remained unmoved by Liu Dong's request for help. It wasn't until he repeatedly begged and narrated that Xu really couldn't stand the other party's entanglement that the man with glasses frowned. Brows said something, a suggestion: "Mr. Liu, I really can't help you, but... I can give you a suggestion, that is, since I have learned that you are currently the target of the female locust's killing, then you'd better do it Make some appropriate responses based on the information I provided last night. Although it may not be useful, it is better than waiting to die."
After saying these words, Zhao Ping stood up and left. Along with many executors beside him, they stood up and immediately walked out the door.
Um?
Not to mention what the man in glasses meant, as expected, when the other party stood up collectively, the white-collar workers were stunned for a moment. Until they saw clearly that the other party seemed to be going out, Liu Dongcai stretched out his hand and subconsciously asked: "Mr. Zhao, what are you going to do? …”
Upon hearing the inquiry, Zhao Ping, who had already walked to the door with everyone, replied without looking back: "Go outside to collect food."
Yes, due to the large number of people, everyone had already consumed all the food stored in this house yesterday. In order not to starve to death, the executors unanimously decided to start action tomorrow before resting last night and start collecting. They dispersed to other houses in the town to collect food. It was obvious that there was no grain of rice left in the house today, so everyone naturally had to leave immediately.
Returning to the topic, Liu Dong hesitated for a moment when Zhao Ping answered, but finally made a decision before the other party went out. He quickly stood up and left his seat. While grabbing Zhang Zhiyong's arm and rushing towards the door, he turned around and said to the two women: "Let's go. Let’s go, everyone, follow us!”
After that, without waiting for the other three people to say anything, General Manager Liu dragged Zhang Zhiyong and strode after him.
As described earlier, since Liu Dong has the ability to climb to the position of general manager, his understanding of people's hearts is naturally not much lower. It is obvious that he does not want to break with Zhao Ping and his group. Not only does he not want to break with people like this At times, it is even more important to maintain a harmonious relationship with the other party. Although it may not necessarily win the other party's favor, at least it cannot arouse the other party's resentment. Just like now, no matter what, you cannot just let others go out to collect food.
General Manager Liu was thinking this, and the executor had the same idea. Since it was basically determined that the female wolf would not attack the executor before killing all the characters in the plot, as soon as they walked out of the house, everyone dispersed. Seeing this, they ran away Liu Dong came out and said without hesitation: "Let's do this. I'll follow Zhao Ping, Zhiyong, you follow the guy named Chen Xiaoyao. That guy looks like a playful smile all day long, so he shouldn't be afraid of worms. If he is really a Taoist priest, then you can follow." He should be the safest. Meng Fei, just follow the girl named Cheng Ying. As for Fang Min, you...eh? Where is Fang Min?"
When Liu Dong rushed to the street to arrange for his subordinates to follow him, until the end of the arrangement, he realized that Fang Min was not around except Zhang Zhiyong and Meng Fei. When asked by his boss, Meng Fei immediately frowned and replied: "Just now You ordered us to come out, and I planned to ask Fang Min to follow us, but she said she was afraid that the corpses in the house would be broken up and she wouldn't follow, and Mr. Liu and you were in too much of a hurry to come out, so I had no choice but to let Fang Min stay. "
"Forget it, never mind. Since that woman is so timid, there's probably no point in following her. Anyway, there are still two Zhao Ping companions in the room, so it's better to let Fang Min stay."
Seeing the executor walking further and further away, the next moment, after saying a few words, several people quickly dispersed and followed Liu Dong's instructions to pursue their respective targets.
Da da da.
………
At the same time, after confirming that the footsteps outside the door disappeared and seeing no one else around, Fang Min shivered unconsciously in the living room for some reason.
There is no reason, no reason. If she chose to stay because she did not want to see the corpses in the house earlier, then when she found that she was the only one left in the living room, the woman was afraid, as scared as she could be!
"Gudu."
Swallowing her saliva, she scanned the empty living room with vigilant eyes and looked at the surrounding environment. For a moment, she regretted that she was timid and didn't go out with Liu Dong and the others. However, when she thought about it, the woman immediately felt relieved. Why? The thing is that even if she is left behind, she is not alone. After all, Zhao Ping's group still has two companions, either somewhere else or in the bedroom next door.
Sure enough, when she thought of someone next door, Fang Min, who had already felt frightened because everyone had left, hurriedly got up and left. She left the sofa and walked straight to the bedroom on the right, but...
While walking, something happened.
A small thing, a tiny detail too small to be noticed.
As he stood up and left, heading toward the bedroom, a particle floated from nowhere. A tiny particle, not much bigger than dust, drifted towards the woman silently.
Then……
Fang Min stopped, stopped moving for an instant, and suddenly froze on the spot,
Then, she started to tremble and sweat, her pretty face turned pale, and her pretty eyes suddenly widened.
Because, just now, at the moment when she was about to walk to the door of the bedroom, she saw a picture, no, it should be a person, a woman.
A woman in a pink dress with bare feet.
The other party appeared in front of Fang Min out of thin air in an instant! ! !
