To be honest, this suspicion is completely unreasonable.
Li Yi also didn't expect that his kind act of rescuing these mercenaries not only failed to win the trust of these people, but also caused some unpredictable consequences.
If he had known this was the case, he might not have saved these mercenaries in the first place.
However in reality.
Li Yi just glanced at Yang Tie and didn't express anything. He just replied lightly.
"oh."
Then, under Yang Tie's disbelieving look, he turned around and left, found a random place and lay down directly.
He simply ignored the other party!
"you!"
His attitude obviously angered the other party.
With a flick of the brush, Yang Tie pulled out his pistol and pointed it directly at Li Yi.
"What's your attitude? I'm asking you a question!"
Li Yi glanced at him and was not frightened. He simply closed his eyes, as if he had no feeling at all about the gun pointed directly at him.
Ignore it!
Stimulated by his innocent attitude, Yang Tie suddenly felt greatly stimulated, and he pulled the safety button with a click. Just when he was about to pull the trigger, Li Yi's voice came out.
"This is a rest area and a safe area. If you use force here, don't you think about the consequences? Don't forget the rules!"
"I forgot about you mmp, I forgot...ah!"
Yang Tie was furious and was about to pull the trigger. In his understanding, mutants were very powerful beings.
And Li Yi's attitude confirmed his thoughts.
He may not have meant to hurt or even kill anyone, but he may have just acted irrationally in anger.
In short, from the moment he pulled out his pistol in the rest area, mistakes were inevitable.
No one would have thought why Yang Tie was so impulsive, and they didn't know why, but no one among the people present stepped forward to stop him.
Gunfire rang out.
It was not Li Yi who fell.
Not to mention that in his current state, he couldn't be hit by a mere pistol.
Even if he is hit, his physical strength at this time will be ignored.
more importantly.
This is not somewhere else.
But it is a rest area, the rest area of Tianmen Mountain Tunnel.
Everything here is beyond human cognition. It looks like an ordinary stone house, but it can invalidate all the triggering mechanisms of monsters and monsters in the tunnel.
This alone is enough to illustrate the power of the rest area.
Unfortunately, Yang Tie didn't know this.
Of course Li Yi knew, but of course he wouldn't tell.
There is no need for this.
Anyway, in his eyes, the remaining people, including Zhao Deming, are all cannon fodder.
Would you explain the precautions to someone you consider to be cannon fodder?
Li Yi doesn’t know how to do it anyway.
If Li Yi was still in the mood to explain the "game mechanics" before, he was too lazy to explain it now.
He thought he had said enough.
If he still didn't know the operating mechanism of the rest area, it would be natural for him to be punished.
He will neither get angry nor show any sign of it.
Then everyone saw the somewhat incredible scene.
The bullet was obviously flying towards Li Yi, but it did not enter Li Yi's body.
He didn't even raise his eyelids.
On the contrary, Yang Tie, who pulled the trigger, fell to the ground with a bang as if he had been hit hard. He looked at the bullet hole that appeared for no reason in his chest with a look of disbelief, and blood kept flowing out.
"You! What kind of witchcraft are you doing!"
"team leader!"
At this time, the others seemed to have woken up from a dream and rushed in front of Yang Tie, as if they couldn't believe what was happening in front of them.
And this scene was all seen by Li Yi.
Closing his eyes and recalling this scene, Li Yi suddenly had something to worry about.
"I have just said that why this place is called a rest area and a safe area is because here, as long as you don't do anything dangerous, there will be absolutely no danger. On the contrary, if you do something that hurts others, words of intention.”
Li Yi stood up slowly, looked at Yang Tie, who was lying on the ground in pain, with confusion written all over his face, and spoke word by word.
“That just ends up feeding back on yourself.”
"I've said it before, this mountain operates according to a certain operating mechanism. When someone goes up the mountain, this mechanism will start to operate slowly. All we have to do is abide by the rules and while saving our lives, Try to crack as many game rules as possible."
At this point, for some reason, Li Yi suddenly changed the subject, his tone full of guilt.
"It's my fault too. I should have told you this from the beginning, but for some reason, I forgot about it."
Hearing this, Zhao Deming, who had been standing by but not participating, couldn't help but ask.
"What is it?"
Li Yi glanced at him and continued to speak.
"Because this additional factor is ineffective against mutants, I subconsciously ignored it."
"Anyone whose brain has not been expanded will be mentally contaminated. Common symptoms are irritable, suspicious, or cold-blooded."
"The so-called brain expansion is actually another term for mutants, because only after brain expansion... There is also a term for strengthening, people can resist this kind of mental pollution to a certain extent, and ordinary people do not have it. This ability."
Having said this, Li Yi looked around and found that everyone stopped and stared at him, including Yang Tie, who had brought it upon himself.
And this time, he quickly saw that, except for him and Zhao Deming, not all mercenary members in the team were ordinary people.
He could probably guess the origin and purpose of these mutants who had mixed up with the mercenary team.
But he didn't mind.
On the contrary, having more combat power is a good thing for going up the mountain itself.
Therefore, Li Yi did not intend to expose them.
Anyway, he already knew it.
Among the dozen or so people left in this team, at least five guys are mutants!
I just don't know what kind of ability it is, but since they have the ability to sneak in and have been unscathed so far, it can explain their strength.
Thinking about it this way, Li Yi felt that he had done too much before.
If this had been seen through earlier, the efficiency of going up the mountain would have been much improved, right?
There is no need for him to let the remaining ordinary people take risks.
But it's too late to say that now.
Now that you have entered the game, you must not give up halfway.
After listening to what Li Yi said, Yang Tie and some other non-mutant mercenary soldiers realized that something was wrong with them.
Because their state has become completely different from that of their former selves. As Li Yi said, they have become suspicious, irritable, and violent, and they are prone to emotional fluctuations once they encounter something.
And they just subconsciously believed that this was because of the mental shock caused by this supernatural phenomenon. They did not expect that mental pollution had already invaded their cerebral cortex before this scene happened.
"Then, Mr. Li, what should we do?"
At this time, someone asked, perhaps because Li Yi told the truth about the matter, these soldiers surprisingly did not have much emotional fluctuations, but it was very rare, at least from Li Yi's perspective, their performance was He said that he was asking for a solution very calmly.
Li Yi glanced at the soldier and found that after he told the truth, the original frantic aura on the soldiers' faces seemed to have diminished a bit.
Slightly surprised, Li Yi still expressed his thoughts.
"It doesn't matter. Generally speaking, you can only resist with your own will, but have you noticed? Once you enter this room, your sanity will be restored, and the mental pollution will be much less."
"So we're going to be okay?"
The person who asked the question was Lao Fang, who was always the last one. There was not much emotion on his face. Compared with other ordinary comrades, he could be regarded as the calmest one.
And what Li Yi said after looking at him for a few times gave him, including other ordinary soldiers, a glimmer of hope.
"Don't worry, although I expect that the next journey may be more difficult. You may die inexplicably at any time due to triggering the rules or mental pollution. But as long as you can make it to the top of the mountain, you may have a chance to awaken as a mutant."
"real!?"
"certainly."
Li Yi nodded firmly and said something in his heart.
As long as you don't die on the road.
