Chapter 109 Prototype

Xia Ran's words didn't have much effect, probably because his eloquence and provocative power were not enough to fight against the cruel reality.

This is not a game. It doesn’t mean that as long as you move the mouse around and then click on the target, all the selected units will rush to fight the enemy. They are not afraid of death, they don’t know fear, and they will never take half a step back...

So everyone just smiled reluctantly, but didn't agree with Xia Ran's words.

Too many things really happened in the past two days, all squeezed together.This makes them physically and mentally exhausted, and it is difficult to accept it immediately and unconditionally.If they want to cheer up again, probably only they can figure it out and regain their will.

—Other than that, nothing works.

Illusion magic such as courage is useless, because after thinking about it for a while, Xia Ran feels that it is not very meaningful to inspire courage for a short time. The problem that this group of people are facing now is the depression of willpower itself.

Willpower is different from emotions, and belongs to something more fundamental than the general mental state. Strictly speaking, even if it reaches the level where it can really crush the enemy's spirit and modify the target's memory, it may not be able to Interfere in the realm of willpower.

Xia Ran can only temporarily inspire the courage of others at critical moments, but it is impossible to fundamentally strengthen a person's will. In theory, this should be a person's own determination and awareness, and it is impossible for others to do it for him.

Therefore, he gave up his plan to use illusion magic, and just comforted a few people with kind words, telling them to take a rest first, think carefully before speaking, and don't be in a hurry.

It is now close to three o'clock in the afternoon. Although the evening has not yet arrived, and there is still a long time before nightfall, this group of people has been busy for most of the day from morning to now——

Just pushing the cars that collided with each other or were abandoned to block roads and block the entrances and exits of buildings took a lot of energy from them.

So it doesn't mean that we must drive them to clear the map now. Besides, in their current state, it is estimated that if they go, they will give away their heads.

And because he didn't see another group of people, Xia Ran thought they had all escaped, but after asking, he found that the group of people didn't run away, but were running up and down inside a department store in Nuo Da. Efforts to clean up the body.

From morning to now, the group of people basically never stopped except for taking a break at noon.

Probably I want to show my hard work and diligence, show my value, and prove that I am not just eating for nothing... because what people fear most is not being able to find their own value and position, especially in such a Honkai world. world--

If there is no value, it is basically the same as being sentenced to death. No one is obliged to let waste be eaten and wait to die.

And just as Gaocheng Saya can analyze, the dead bodies and zombies in this large department store were specially cleaned up by Xia Ran, and it is very likely that they are intended to be used as a stronghold. She is not the only smart person.

The same is true for the others. After discovering that this place has temporarily become the safest area in the city of the living dead, with particularly abundant material reserves, they are unwilling to leave here to face the sinister world outside. .

This is why they did not take the opportunity to escape, but chose to stay.

Some people started to think calmly after the fear, and some people ran out and quickly rolled back in embarrassment, and brought back a bunch of dead zombies... Anyway, they either took the initiative to recognize the status quo, or were forced to recognize the status quo.

—— Staying to face that monster, they are indeed "possibly" in danger, but if they run out and prepare to survive the doomsday alone, then they "definitely" will die a very miserable death.

After realizing such a cruel situation, they had no choice but to stay obediently, and tried self-hypnosis, self-persuasion, and looked for various evidences to prove that staying was the wisest choice, and that monster was actually not dangerous...

Etc., etc.

Don't blame them, after all, it is very difficult for people to let themselves live in a fearful environment. If there is really no choice, then self-hypnosis is a very necessary thing.

And there is a lot of evidence, very sufficient, not difficult to find at all——

For example, Xia Ran didn't take the initiative to attack other people, and the group of thugs who died earlier were the ones who did not know what to do and did it first.

Afterwards, he didn't kill everyone indiscriminately. Although the methods really made people's scalp tingle, the math class taught by precepts and deeds seemed violent and neurotic...

Well, that's right, as long as you don't take the initiative to provoke them, there will be no problem.

And it might be a good thing to have such a terrifying, powerful and reasonable character sitting in charge.

Even if they are inhuman, even if they are heterogeneous, at least they are much better than the previous batch of thugs, right?Comparing the two, I don't even know which one is the real monster——

One side is the so-called heterogeneous who will not take the initiative to hurt innocent people... the other side is a bullying person who thinks he is great and does all kinds of evil...

In such a comparison, it seems that the former is really a more suitable thigh.

Since this is the case, it is natural to perform well. Anyway, after the inspection, they can confirm that the interior of the department store has been thoroughly cleaned by Xia Ran. It was flesh and blood flying all over the place, stumped limbs and broken arms.

This made this group of people feel particularly unacceptable, their faces turned blue and black, their stomachs twitched, and they were so disgusting that it was unimaginable. It would probably leave a serious psychological shadow in the future... But even so, they still forced themselves to do it this matter.

Especially that group of students, even after working for a while, they ran to the toilet to vomit until their bile almost came out, and then they came out pale and went to those bloody slaughtering scenes or eating scenes, continued to process the corpses, and ran to the toilet after a while bathroom……

So repeatedly, repeat the above process, until you can't vomit anything and get used to the habit completely.

There is no other reason, it is purely because disposing of the corpse is the first clear and clear order Xia Ran gave, and it is also the best opportunity for them to express themselves.And those are real corpses after all, they won't get up and tear off the arms of living people, and open their mouths to eat the flesh and blood of living people...

——This is already much, much better.

After all, it's not like no one couldn't bear it halfway, and chose to run out to join the team of the protagonist group to deal with the corpses wandering in the streets outside, but in the end they still retreated disheartened and defeated.

Not everyone can switch identities as a matter of course and immediately become a warrior. When seeing those fantastic images that have been active from the era of black and white movies to the present appear in reality, and rush towards them with fangs and claws and roars——

Not to mention seizing the short opportunity to fight back fiercely, blowing their dog's heads off with one blow.

Under fear, most people will even forget the choice of dodge or escape, but their brains go blank in fright, and they only know that their bodies are stiff in place, unable to move.

Not to mention taking the initiative to fight against dead zombies, they can't even push the cart, because once they see the zombies coming over due to the movement, and the others have no time to clean them up, then even if they are still half a street away , it will take at least one or two minutes to touch it at its speed.

As long as they insist on pushing the vehicle forward, they will basically not be overtaken. The old cow pulls the broken car in front, and the old woman crosses the road behind. No matter how slow the former is, it is impossible for the latter to overtake easily.

However, they don't have that kind of psychological quality, and they will immediately run away like frightened rabbits...

This kind of work efficiency is simply to add to the chaos. In the end, it is only natural to blame for choosing to come back to do some tiring, bitter and disgusting work, but at least there is no danger—as long as they are not stupid enough to actively let the external wounds contact zombie body fluids .

Xia Ran is very satisfied with this, because it at least shows that the prototype of a team has emerged.

They don't need to force themselves, they will subconsciously do what they can do to prove their worth.

So he took a walk around the mall, encouraged those people face to face, and praised their work.

The effect is also immediate, although this group of people are disgusted and tired, but under some inexplicable fear and pressure, they force themselves to do this kind of work.But after Xia Ran showed a satisfied smile and said some words of encouragement to them, they seemed to have been beaten.

After all, from the very beginning, their goal was to satisfy this monster in human skin!

Now that the goal has been achieved, why can't it be very exciting? This shows that their thinking direction is not wrong!

Lower your posture, work hard, flatter yourself, and prove your worth...

……

……

"The material search team... the logistics department... just build the team around these two cores for the first time."

On the top floor of the department store, I found a clean and spacious lounge—in fact, it was covered with dust. The so-called clean meant that there was no corpse blood.

Xia Ran found a pen and paper, and while she still remembered, quickly recorded on it what she had learned from the previous trip.

"If you have courage and guts, if you can fight, you can join the search team. If you are really not suitable for fighting, then manage the logistics..."

Although Xiao Zuo memorized the map of the entire Bed City, it can only be used as a reference, and many details are no longer correct, and the current situation has to be explored in person before he can know a certain road or a certain area how's it going.

Whether it was completely burned by the fire, or an explosion occurred, or it was robbed clean in yesterday's turmoil.

When Xia Ran was spawning monsters, he made a quick investigation and marked down all the resource points that he thought were more important. He planned to lead a large army to follow the planned route and slowly start clearing the map.

After drawing the last period with the tip of the pen, he couldn't help but yawned again, and the tired look on his face became more obvious.

However, after he put down his pen, he didn't choose to meditate to continue refining his mental strength, but went to sleep directly.Because his spiritual attribute value has reached 39 points, and it will be 40 points further.

It doesn't matter whether it's the addition of points, or the growth of his own training, it's the same... He doesn't want the price of exchanging free attribute points to rise again, and the current small goal is enough.
