Hire little monsters in your dreams every day

Chapter 52: Let courage lead us out of the encirclement.
"The 30-day competition has now concluded."

"The 330,000 yuan bonus has been fully distributed."

"All contestants, please come here to claim your rewards."

The old woman's voice came from the horizon and flew with the wind to the floating island.

Wu Yun stood in the wind, looking into the distance. He felt an inexplicable pulling force on his body, as if the world was about to send him to the Fruit Shop!

"A total prize of 330,000?"

"I have a total of 165,000 in my hands."

"The other 165,000 were distributed among the other 900-plus contestants?"

At that moment...

"嘤嘤嘤!"

"Ouch!"

A dozen or so fully armed minks rushed out from behind him and ran in front of him.

"嘤嘤嘤!"

Two cans were tied to the black sable's body, and it held a spirit-testing stick in its front paws.

"Ouch!"

The ferret had a rope around its shoulder and was holding a stone in its front paws.

"嘤嘤嘤!"

With the freshly washed metal rod on its back, Diao Baibai touched its head with its two paws, revealing a celestial official's hat and a flower-shaped button on the hat that looked like a sky full of stars.

"Ouch!"

Meanwhile, Diao Huhu held a tattered flag that he had picked up from who-knows-where, waved it in the wind, and stood in front of the boss.

They've made up their minds; they're going to fight the boss!

At this moment, they were all beaming with smugness!

Although they don't fight... at least they can put on a show of force!
And if we go together, even if the boss loses, he doesn't need to come back to pick them up... we can take them with us!

Wu Yun grinned.

"very good."

But the employees didn't understand that if they lost this fight, they might not be able to come back...

White clouds rose from beneath his feet.

Before the sables, their eyes gleaming, could leap onto the clouds, he and the clouds were transported away by this world, by this dream, and his figure vanished without a trace.

All that remained were the frozen expressions of the minks and the tattered flags fluttering in the wind.

……

After the space was compressed and the world was turned upside down... Wu Yun stood on the cloud and regained his balance.

But he saw that there were people all around him.

Moreover, people are constantly being teleported in along with clouds.

This patch of sky seemed to be sealed off; one could only enter, but not leave.

Even the clouds, when they reach the border, must turn back.

Even the wind that blows to the border must return.

People around him were talking about it.

"Why were I still teleported here?"

"Are we going to gather everyone together for the final settlement?"

"The rules of the Cloud Racing Competition?"

"Nobody told us about this rule!"

"If I fly to the shop up there, can I buy a fruit rank?"

"But can you fly up there?"

The Fruit Shop is high in the sky, right above everyone's heads.

Everyone could see that the shelves were filled with cloud after cloud.

You can see the old man handing out bonuses and the old woman selling fruit stand behind the counter.

but……

Outside the Fruit Shop, surrounded by clouds, sat celestial officials, looking down from above.

"rush!"

Just then, a cry rang out!
From the crowd, a dozen or so people suddenly rushed out and flew into the air!

The helmets that appeared on their heads were engraved with copper flower buckles!

Dark black armor appeared on his body!

He held a knife and axe in his hand!
The leader's seat was surrounded by clouds that had solidified into an ice shell, and his long sword sliced ​​through the raging wind; it was none other than Huang Xiaozhong!

At the same time, among the celestial officials above, dozens of people suddenly spurted blood from their temples. However, at the same time, they were shot dead outside the dream, and their figures disappeared within the dream!

"kill!"

Huang Xiaozhong, clad in heavy armor, brandished a long sword, his face flushed red, his eyes blazing with fury!

He has already seen Liu Ye!
The blade came with the clouds, slashing down fiercely!

What he didn't see was that behind the counter, several name lists floated in the wind beside the old woman, their pages turning with the breeze, each drop of ink forming a character!

A flash of dark light appeared on Liu Ye's body, and he was covered in black armor. With a swift grab, he pulled out a three-zhang-long (approximately 10 meters) spear!
With a single swing of the spear, amidst the whooshing sound and the force of the wind, Huang Xiaozhong and his dozen or so teammates were struck down, their swords shattered and armor broken, men and horses sprawling, and more than a dozen figures coughing up blood fell back down.

Everyone fell silent.

In this sky, only the sound of the wind remains.

It wasn't just Liu Ye.

Hundreds of celestial officials, each clad in heavy armor, some leaning on long spears, others carrying broadswords, and still others with horse lances at their knees, floated high in the sky, looking down.

Countless bats and crows appeared out of nowhere, flitting among the heavy armored figures.

The black wind and smoke, which could not be dispersed, seemed to originate from nowhere and swirled among the heavy armored figures.

Everything seemed to weigh heavily on everyone's heads, like dark clouds.

Like a whirlpool, it blotted out the sky.

In the middle of the vortex, the old woman from the Liu family floated up in the air, her bright red official robe fluttering in the wind, completely concealing her frail figure and hiding the fruit shop behind her.

She coughed up blood... By violating the rules and helping the examinee, she had been consumed by the backlash of this dream.

But she casually wiped away the bloodstains, completely unconcerned.

With a casual wave of his hand, the black smoke in the sky condensed into a giant QR code, facing the examinees below.

He then smiled, revealing a mouthful of bloody teeth.

The hoarse voice carried on the wind.

"Sweep the prize money to the Liu family."

"Or, die."

All the candidates, looking up at this scene, fell silent.

How absurd and terrifying this scene is!

Some candidates were trembling and had already taken out their phones.

Some of the test takers were muttering to themselves, their faces pale.

"If I hand over the prize money, will I really be able to live...?"

Huang Xiaozhong and a dozen others, in a daze, had already lost all their strength.

"I...I'm not dead yet..."

He vomited a mouthful of blood mixed with foam, and his head tilted weakly to the side.

I found myself lying on a giant cloud.

The person in front of him sat upright, looking up at the sky, his long scarf swaying in the wind.

"Boss...you..."

His eyelids grew heavy, tears welled up, his vision blurred, and he lost all strength, finally fainting completely.

……

"How are you? Are you still alive?"

At the entrance of the emergency operating room, Captain Zhang, Huang Xiaozhong, and more than a dozen others were being wheeled in one after another!
Li Mingmei stood to the side and saw that they all had their eyes closed and were fast asleep, unable to wake up no matter what.

Some of them vomited pus and blood mixed with foam from their mouths, some had their skulls cracked open to reveal their brains, and their bodies had varying degrees of dents and fractures.

The chief physician rushed into the operating room, leaving only the words, "The situation is not optimistic!"

Li Ming watched as everyone was pushed inside, his face growing paler and paler.

"Even if you become a Cloud Cavalry Celestial Official, it's still useless?"

The Cloud Cavalry Immortal Official's position was something that the Non-Natural Department managed to coordinate and obtain after going through countless hardships!

Unexpectedly, they were so easily defeated!
She leaned against the wall in the corridor, letting the wall support her body.

I checked my phone and saw that the press conference was nearing its end.

The minister was speaking into the microphone, reading the last few sentences.

"...The enemy is indeed powerful."

"But we have come to where we are today from the primitive era of slash-and-burn agriculture, through thousands of years of civilizational changes. We have faced countless natural disasters, wars, epidemics, loss of control over science and technology ethics, collapse of the ecological chain, cognitive crises, resource crises... But we have overcome them time and time again, and time and time again put history back on track."

"We have never given in, and we have always believed in ourselves."

"We believe in the culture that is passed down from generation to generation."

"We believe in the technology that is the crystallization of the wisdom of countless people."

"We believe in the industry that has thrived in its centuries of application."

"We believe in a system that unites everyone to overcome these difficult times..."

Li Mingmei had already read this speech.

But she wanted to hear the final address one more time.

She knew that all countries communicated, and even if the explanations and measures mentioned earlier differed, the final statement was always the same.

At this very moment, spokespersons from different countries, at different press conferences, on different screens, addressing different people, are uttering the same words. Through television, mobile phones, and broadcasts, this voice is resonating in every corner of the world, reaching the ears of everyone…

“…when all cultures, technologies, industries, and institutions lie shattered, let courage be the fire that forges our path through the siege.”

“…Когдавсекультурныеценности,технологии, промышленностьиинституты "

"...Culture, technology, industry, system, knowledge, time, courage, breakthrough."

"...it's a culture, a technology, an industry and an institution that's the right thing to do. It's a courageous thing that's going to make you happy."

"...If all culture, technology, industry, and institutions are breached, let courage lead us to break through the encirclement."
