Seeing that the man's intentions were completely opposite to his own, Zhou Bingbing started to save the country by relying on her own scheming. Without daring to directly propose leaving the forest, she instead made indirect hints and hints, trying to put psychological pressure on the man. Just like at this moment, the woman He used the excuse that there was not much food left to remind him again. Although he kept talking about collecting cards on the surface, he was actually hinting to the other party that instead of looking for cards that could only be encountered by luck, it would be better to change the plan and choose to evacuate. Even if It doesn't matter if you've already lost your way. As long as you keep walking in a straight direction in a certain direction, you will always be able to leave the forest. In addition, besides being a hint, her actions also have another meaning. Simply speaking, it can be understood as self-protection!
I remember that when the lot was drawn, the female veteran named Cheng Ying had warned everyone that no matter what the final result of the draw was, no one could go back on it, and she would kill anyone who dared to go back on it. Based on her long-experienced judgment in the workplace, Zhou Bingbing was convinced that Cheng Ying was not lying, or that the beautiful girl who exuded murderous aura was indeed capable of keeping her word. At least, she could kill newcomers without mercy and decisively. If she left the forest alone, Cheng Ying would be very likely to do so. Bajiu would take advantage of her and use her life to scare other newcomers. In other words, Cheng Ying would definitely kill herself, but...
What if Zhao Ping was left with him out of the forest?
With this bespectacled man in front of her who is also a senior and seems to have a high status in the team, can Cheng Ying be able to kill decisively?
That's right, this is scheming, this is Zhou Bingbing's true intention!
At present, the first thing she has to do is to try her best to influence the other party, first to make the man with glasses feel the pressure and force him to give up, and then use this as a basis to block Cheng Ying's murderous plan. Only in this way can she be truly safe. There is no doubt that , up to now, Zhou Bingbing still believes that only the forest is extremely dangerous, and everything he does is to leave the forest.
As for Zhao Ping...
After listening to the woman's true statement full of worry, the man was unmoved and just nodded in a nonchalant tone and responded: "Well, you are right, the food has indeed been reduced, and the possibility of surviving to the end is also very slim. , but it’s okay to save money, and you might be able to collect a few more cards during this period. Plus the number of cards collected by others, there may be hope.”
"Hope? But what you said is just hope. Are you sure that other people scattered around will be able to find the cards like you? What if others don't find one? What if you are the only one in the real situation? Are there two cards in your hand?" After receiving the man's optimistic answer, Zhou Bingbing immediately became anxious and hurriedly refuted it, directly responding to the opponent's optimistic guess with vicious guesses. The words he said were so precise that it was almost impossible to find them. A slight logical flaw.
Next, Zhao Ping stopped talking. After listening to Zhou Bingbing's defense and response, his eyes narrowed slightly, and then he looked up and down at the woman with interest. It wasn't until Zhou Bingbing looked confused that the man raised his head after studying for a moment. He raised his right hand, first adjusted the gold-rimmed glasses on the bridge of his nose, then changed the subject, and said something pointed to Zhou Bingbing: "Miss Zhou, you seem to be very concerned about your and my current situation, or do you think you have something Any plan?"
(What does he mean by this? Could it be that he saw my true intention? No, it’s impossible. I never mentioned leaving the forest from the beginning to the end. In any case, it’s impossible for him to guess my true intention. Or, Is he testing me?)
"Huh? Senior Zhao, what are you talking about? Why can't I understand? And what do you mean by 'plan' just now?"
Years of workplace experience have given Zhou Bingbing, who is already quite scheming, an excellent acting talent. Seeing that the bespectacled man had something to say, the woman decisively pretended to be stupid and directly asked a question with a blank expression. Then, Zhao Ping smiled and after observing Zhou After Bingbing's confused reaction, which no one could tell was fake, the corner of her mouth was slightly raised, and then she pointed under her body and pointed at the two backpacks placed side by side and said something, which was purely comforting to Zhou Bingbing. : "Don't worry, the food in the two backpacks combined is enough."
………
Winter is cold, and forests are the coldest among them. As the time enters midnight and early morning, the mist begins to spread, and then it is covered with frost and officially comes to the coldest time of the day. If anyone is in the woods at this time, Then it is necessary to take some heating measures.
In the face of severe cold, fires are undoubtedly the most effective way to keep warm. However, under certain conditions, fires also present greater risks.
After listening to Zhao Ping's overly optimistic words of comfort, although Zhou Bingbing was dissatisfied, she finally chose to accept it without comment. Who made her dare not act alone? As a newcomer, Zhou Bingbing has some self-awareness and knows that she must not offend this person in this situation. Otherwise, she cannot guarantee whether the indifferent man in front of her will abandon her. After all, she and the other person are not relatives. Therefore, the reason why the two of them are here is nothing more than a coincidence.
Thinking so, Zhou Bingbing did the same thing in reality. After confirming that she could not shake Zhao Ping's determination to find Zhao Ping for the time being, the woman changed her strategy without hinting. She became silent and sat around the fire adding branches while running. The brain is thinking frequently, trying to come up with more effective ways before dawn.
Similarly, seeing that Zhou Bingbing was no longer talking about food, Zhao Ping, who had no habit of talking nonsense, lowered his head again after finishing the short exchange, and once again locked his gaze downwards in a daze-like manner, staring at the card in his hand. While watching, I glanced at my watch with my peripheral vision and saw that the time had reached 1 am without realizing it.
Can……
Next to the fire, just as his eyes glanced at his watch and the time happened to reach 1 a.m., Zhao Ping's brows suddenly condensed, and immediately his whole body tensed up and his face suddenly changed!
Because, he heard the sound, and just when he was thinking about whether to extinguish the fire and move to another location, he suddenly noticed something strange, and then heard a series of tiny sounds that were not clear due to the distance:
Bah…baah…baah…baah…
The sound was extremely soft and faint, almost undetectable if you didn't listen carefully. However, Zhao Ping was still able to capture the sound keenly. He found the sound in time in the dead silence environment when the time had just reached 1 a.m., a series of FM radio sounds. There was a soft murmur.
The heart is beating faster at this moment, and the nerves are tense in an instant!
It was obvious that Zhao Ping was not familiar with such sounds, and this was also the first time he heard noises since he entered the forest. According to custom, experienced people often choose to stay away when facing unknown things, and give priority to safety before figuring out the whole situation. Retreat, as others do, Zhao Ping, who is already overly cautious, will make a decisive decision to get up and run away. As expected, I believe that the man with glasses will take off in a few seconds, but...
Zhao Ping did not run away.
They sat there without making any movement when they clearly heard the strange noise, and remained unmoved after clearly capturing the echo of the noise. Some were just vigilant, just cautious when they discovered the noise, until...
Until the noise became louder and louder, and was finally noticed by Zhou Bingbing.
"Um?"
Sure enough, as the noise gradually increased, in addition to Zhao Ping, Zhou Bingbing, who was thinking about countermeasures, also heard the noise. Then she instinctively raised her head and looked around. During the period, she listened carefully. After a while, she confirmed the direction of the sound and the source of the sound. It was at the northern end of the forest, and the voice was familiar. It seemed like she had heard it somewhere. Next, Zhou Bingbing's expression changed. In a completely different way from Zhao Ping's overall calmness, the moment he heard the noise, his body shook wildly and his face changed drastically!
As mentioned above, unlike the bespectacled man who heard such a sound for the first time, Zhou Bingbing suddenly changed color as soon as she heard the strange noise, as if she heard some kind of urging cry from the underworld. She was instantly frightened and frightened. The reason is very simple. That's because this is not the first time she has been exposed to noise. She remembers that as early as last night, when she was caught by the tiger, she had heard similar noises from the tiger disguised as Zhao Ping. She had heard it with her own ears. That fatal note that represents death!
so……
Hooray!
"Ah! Senior Zhao, run quickly, Qi, Qi is here!"
As expected, as soon as he confirmed that the voice was familiar, Zhou Bingbing moved the next moment, jumping up and shouting like a rabbit on the spot, shouting wildly, and using an unconcealed tone of horror to kill Zhao Ping, who was still sitting next to him. Reminder, while panicking, she urged the man to run away quickly. There is no doubt that the woman has a good memory. Having had a near-death experience, she reacted very quickly this time. She was so quick that she got off the ground before the senior man and set off in a hurry. By the way, Warning to the man under the increasingly louder noise, yes, he must escape, no matter what, at least in Zhou Bingbing's personal opinion, the louder the noise means the danger is closer, which means the closer, that is It is said that the hawk hidden in the forest is approaching them, getting closer to the two of them little by little!
However, the strange thing is...
There is no denying that Zhou Bingbing reacted very quickly and acted very quickly. At the same time, she kindly reminded Zhao Ping to run quickly, but in exchange, Zhao Ping was indeed unmoved!
"Hey! Stop sitting there! Get up and run, run!?"
Yes, the man with glasses did not move. He still sat there and stared at the bonfire even though he clearly heard the approaching noise as well or even noticed it earlier. Seeing this, Zhou Bingbing became anxious and even wanted to leave the man and run away. That's true, but driven by the fear of being left alone, the woman suppressed her fear and continued to shout, trying to urge the other person to get up and run away. She was urging him with all her strength, but unexpectedly, the man with glasses remained expressionless as if he hadn't heard him. He only relied on the fire until Zhou Bingbing became more anxious and ran to pull him. The man took the initiative to get up before the other party was about to touch him. Then he turned back and looked towards the north. After confirming the direction of the sound, Zhao Ping turned around and asked a question. He stretched out his hand to Zheng Zheng. Zhou Bingbing asked a question that was equivalent to nonsense: "Are you sure that the noise is caused by the locust? And the approaching noise means that the locust is approaching?"
"I'm sure, 100% sure! Because I heard this kind of noise from the other party when he was attacked last night!"
Exactly as expected, Zhou Bingbing was dumbfounded when she saw that the man with glasses was still asking questions at this time. Oh my god, this guy named Zhao must be an idiot, right? Let’s not talk about whether the noise represents the approach of a locust. Even if it is not caused by a locust, anyone who suddenly hears a strange noise will always be scared and run away. The truth is true, but I never thought that the person in front of me was still in the mood. Questions? To be honest, if she were not afraid of being left alone, Zhou Bingbing would have left this person behind and fled. Of course, thinking so, in reality, Zhou Bingbing answered the other person as quickly as possible, and then stretched out her arm to pull. , grabbed Zhao Ping and pushed and pulled him desperately, just...
In front of her, just as she grabbed Zhao Ping and tried to push and pull him, trying to drag the man away, the man smiled, showed a weird smile for a moment and then opened his mouth and said something, which made Zhou Bingbing stunned:
"In that case, it's time for you to contribute your maximum value to the team."
(Huh? Maximum value?)
His expression was blank and his figure was stagnant. This was Zhou Bingbing's first reaction after hearing the answer from the man with glasses. It was an instinctive physical freeze-up caused by overcomprehension. However, when the woman was briefly lost in thought, Zhao Ping When Zhou Bingbing moved, Lightning raised his hand and reached into his arms, taking advantage of Zhou Bingbing's inexplicable sluggishness. He immediately took out his pistol, took aim, and shot!
boom!
There was a loud noise, a roar, and as the trigger was pulled, a metal bullet rushed out of the gun chamber, and then hit the target accurately in the blink of an eye, directly piercing Zhou Bingbing's left thigh!
"Ah ah ah ah ah!"
Plop.
As you can imagine, Zhou Bingbing fell to the ground as soon as her thigh was pierced. She let out a series of shrill screams and fell to the ground with a twisted face. She fell directly beside the bonfire. After that, she held her thigh and cried out in pain. During the breathing process, blood spattered, and a large amount of red liquid flowed and spurted along the wound. Under Zhao Ping's almost ferocious gaze, it turned into a tragedy, a naked human tragedy!
As for Zhou Bingbing, the moment she fell to the ground, she seemed to understand. While feeling the severe pain of the gunshot wound, she vaguely discovered the man's intention, or understood the so-called contribution value of the other party.
What is your greatest value, Zhou Bingbing?
The answer is a tool, a tool that can be thrown away at a critical moment, a disposable consumable that can be used at any time!
This was the thought that came to Zhou Bingbing's mind when she fell to the ground, and it was also the bespectacled man's long-premeditated plan.
That's right, just like what Zhao Ping instinctively thought when he discovered Zhou Bingbing was attacked by a wolf last night, in Zhao Ping's personal eyes, everyone has value, and the difference is nothing more than high or low. For a newcomer like Zhou Bingbing who is good for nothing, , the man with glasses naturally regarded her as trash with extremely low value. It was precisely because the other party was of extremely low value that he subconsciously refused to rescue the woman when he first discovered that she was caught by a hawk, and subconsciously planned to escape. As for why he later changed his mind and took the risk rescue? The reason was simply that the locust attack was so weird that he couldn't understand the locust attack method at all. In order to get as many clues as possible to know himself and the enemy, Zhao Ping reluctantly showed up to rescue. Not to mention, Zhao Ping's risk-taking to save people was rewarded. In order to escape the scene to safety for the time being, the man got a lot of valuable clues from Zhou Bingbing's mouth, and then learned about the horror of the mysterious squid.
Unexpectedly, the monster that is suspected of being a slender hawk has the ability to detect the thoughts of living people. With this abnormal ability, the hawk can not only deceive anyone, but what is even more terrifying is that the other party can drag people into a certain place through forehead contact. Living in an illusory space similar to the spiritual world, and then easily killing people in the illusory space!
As the saying goes, if there is no profit, there will be no motivation. If there is motivation, it must be about profit. After rescuing Zhou Bingbing, Zhao Ping indeed received substantial benefits. It stands to reason that Zhou Bingbing will lose value after gaining benefits. According to Zhao With a normal personality, a man will definitely abandon a woman and leave directly after harvesting all the clues, but...
Zhao Ping did not do this. Instead, after getting clues from Zhou Bingbing, he still allowed the woman to follow him. Why is this? The reason is simple, that is...
Zhou Bingbing is still valuable!
After all, he has never seen the true appearance of the beast with his own eyes. Who can be sure that the beast only has two abilities: 'memory detection' and 'illusion killing'? What if there are other, more mysterious ways of killing people? In other words, what should I do if I encounter a tiger soon and the tiger attacks me with other unknown abilities?
What to do? It's very simple, but smart people always leave themselves a back-up, a consumable tool that can not only test the ability of the beast, but also throw out to save lives at critical moments.
And this so-called life-saving consumable was Zhou Bingbing, or that was the reason why he allowed Zhou Bingbing to follow him.
As for Zhao Ping's so-called backpack food at the end of the earlier conversation, the superficial meaning was to comfort Zhou Bingbing, but the hidden meaning was that the food in two backpacks was enough for him!
Another point worth mentioning is that the reason why he chose to light a fire to keep warm was precisely because he thought the time had come. As the time was getting closer to the end of the mission, Zhao Ping gradually felt uneasy. Past experience told him that the time was getting closer and closer. The longer he postpones, the lower the restrictions placed on him by the rules will be. Therefore, his intuition issued a warning, warning him that he must do something. No matter what, he must learn as much as possible about the creature before the situation becomes serious, and learn all the abilities of the other party as much as possible. Therefore, in order to find out as soon as possible whether the wolf has other hiding methods, Zhao Ping decided to take a risk, decided to give up hiding and take the initiative to attract the wolf to attack.
How to attract locusts? It's not difficult, just expose your whereabouts.
How to be exposed? Nothing is more obvious than lighting a bonfire in the dark.
In the end, Zhao Ping's preparedness paid off, and taking the initiative also brought results. He encountered a hawk, and the blazing fire successfully attracted the hawk to approach. Since he knew that the noise was caused by the hawk, all he had to do next was One thing will do, and that's throwing down tools and testing the waters.
Let's get back to the topic, although the above description is quite lengthy, in fact the whole process only took a few seconds. Within a few seconds, Zhao Ping made Zhou Bingbing incapacitated, and he turned back to look in the direction of the sound behind him, looking at the increasingly clear and harsh noise.
"Ah, ooohhhhh!"
Bah bah bah, bah bah bah bah.
At this moment, mixed with Zhou Bingbing's miserable howl, the noise gradually became clearer. Looking closely, the unknown hidden in the woods opposite was rising one after another like a flood about to erupt. The noise echoed frequently in the darkness, carrying gusts of cold wind. The fire, the flames swaying wildly, were almost extinguished in the increasingly cold wind, until...
With the help of the firelight, I could vaguely see an outline in the darkness ahead, a faceless man in a suit that looked humanoid but was as tall as a small tree!
At this moment, with the cold wind howling, and a hundred meters away, Zhao Ping saw the true form of the visitor. For the first time, he witnessed a deformed person, a faceless monster that looked like a human but not human. It was a face with no facial features and A weird, hairless man with a pure white face and a suit. In addition to his terrifying body, which is nearly 3 meters tall, his ridiculously long arms and legs also constantly irritate his pupils and torture his nerves. What’s even more terrifying is that he has no face. The man was not walking, but moved forward slowly with his feet dangling in the air, dancing slowly and quietly with the soles of his feet only a few centimeters from the ground. Then he slowly approached, drifted straight out of the darkness of the forest, and floated silently towards the fire ahead.
Zhao Ping had a panoramic view of this scene, and Zhou Bingbing also had a panoramic view of it, but...
When the distance between the two parties was reduced to only the last hundred meters, it was also the moment when Zhao Ping thought that the time had come and planned to escape. Something abnormal happened to him, and he felt dizzy and dizzy under the increasing noise in his ears. , without any sign of logic, my brain suddenly became dizzy and stars appeared in my eyes, and I felt as if I had been punched in the face.
(This, this is... can the noise affect me? Can it affect humans? It will have an effect after the distance is reduced to a hundred meters?)
What is a strong person? Or what is the definition of strong? The definition can be divided into two types, one is strong force, and the other is strong understanding. As a experienced veteran, Zhao Ping's understanding has surpassed that of ordinary people, and even surpassed that of most people in the team. Most senior people said it was too late, but it was quicker than that. At the moment when the distance between the two sides was close to 100 meters, Zhao Ping discovered the abnormality in his body, and immediately understood the origin of the abnormality. Where did the abnormality come from? It was none other than the faceless man coming closer and closer in front!
Faceless man actually has the ability to make people dizzy? And the closer the distance, the greater the impact!
(Oops, I can’t let him get close to me or I’ll lose my mobility!)
"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu"
Da da da da da!
After figuring out the above answers, Zhao Ping moved, turned around and ran away. After clearly seeing the true appearance of the beast and clearly testing its ability, Zhao Ping changed his mind and ran wildly, using a speed equivalent to a 100-meter race. I endured the pain and gritted my teeth as I ran forward, feeling horrified during the run.
(There is actually something hidden. Unexpectedly, in addition to the first two terrifying abilities, the opponent also has methods. There is also a terrifying ability that has never been seen before but is threatening enough to rival thought detection and illusory killing. A terrifying ability that can be used as long as it is close to the faceless man. The spread of noise can cause people to feel dizzy and weak instantly!)
Zhao Ping was frightened, completely frightened. Even though he was well-informed and experienced, he was still frightened by the faceless man behind him who revealed his true form. He was completely frightened. What kind of monster was that thing? From last night's encounter to what he saw now, the faceless man has never used even one of the common abilities of worms. He used all unknown methods, all weird abilities that even experienced people have never seen, and they are all extremely terrifying and terrifying. Nearly invincible killing ability, is this still a wolf? With so many perverted abilities under his control, it feels like the faceless man's overall strength is no less than that of the Earthbound Spirit!
A heterogeneous evil spirit that doesn't look like an earthbound spirit no matter how you look at it, but its strength is equal to or even surpasses that of an earthbound spirit.
Could this be the slender mango figure in Western urban legends that has existed for centuries? ?
