Stray Chapter 108: Prototype

Xia Ran's words didn't play a big role, probably because his eloquence and incitement were not enough to confront the cruel reality.

This is not a game. It doesn't say that as long as you turn the mouse and click on the target, all the selected units will rush up to fight the enemy. …

So everyone just smiled reluctantly, but did not echo Xia Ran's words.

A lot has happened in the past two days, and it's all crowded together. This makes them physically and mentally exhausted, and it is difficult for them to accept it immediately and unconditionally. If they want to get back on their feet, probably only they have to figure it out and regain their will.

—other than that, nothing works.

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

Willpower is different from emotion and belongs to something more fundamental than general mental state. Strictly speaking, even if it reaches the level that it can really crush the enemy's spirit and modify the memory of the target object, Not necessarily able to interfere in the field 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 cannot be done by others.

So, he gave up the plan to use illusion magic, just comforted a few people with kind words, let them rest first, think carefully, and don't rush for a while.

It's almost three o'clock in the afternoon. Although it is said that evening has not yet arrived, and it is still a long time before night falls, this group of people has been busy for most of the day since morning-

Just pushing cars that collided or were abandoned to block roads and block building entrances and exits took a lot of their energy.

So it doesn't mean that I have to rush them to clear the monsters now. Besides, in their current state, it is estimated that they will be given away when they go there.

Because she never saw another group of people, Xia Ran thought they had all escaped, but when she asked, she realized that the group of people were not running away, but were running inside a department store in Nuoda Run down and try to clean up the corpse.

From the morning to the present, the group of people basically didn't stop except for a little break for lunch.

Probably want to show their hard work and diligence, show their own value, and prove that they are not simply eating rice... Because people are most afraid of not being able to find their own value and positioning, especially in such a A broken world——

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

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

The same is true for others. After discovering that this place has temporarily become a city of the living dead, it is also the safest area with particularly rich material reserves, and they are not willing to leave here and face the sinister outside. the world.

This is why they chose to stay instead of fleeing.

Some people start to think calmly after the fear, some people roll back in embarrassment soon after running out, and bring back a bunch of dead zombies... Anyway, they either actively recognize the status quo, or are forced to recognize the status quo. .

——Staying to face that monster, they are indeed "may" be in danger, but if they go out and prepare to survive alone in the apocalypse, then they "will definitely" die especially miserable.

After realizing such a cruel status quo, they have to stay honest, and try to self-hypnotize, persuade themselves, and find all kinds of evidence to prove that staying is the most sensible choice, that monster actually did not Dangerous...

Wait blah blah.

Don't blame them. After all, it's hard for people to live in a terrifying 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. The group of thugs who died before were the ones who didn't know whether to live or die.

After that, he did not kill everyone indiscriminately, although the method really made the scalp numb, and the math class taught by words and deeds seemed violent and neurotic...

Well, yes, as long as you don't provoke it you'll be fine.

And it may be a good thing to have such a terrifyingly powerful and reasonable character in charge.

Even if it is inhuman, even if it is an alien, at least it is much better than the previous thugs, right? Comparing the two, I don't even know which one is the real monster——

One side is the so-called alien who will not take the initiative to hurt innocents... The other side is a person who bullies the weak but thinks he can be proud of himself and does all kinds of evil...

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

In this 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. Although it looks **** and terrifying, The ground was full of flesh and blood, stumps and broken arms.

This makes this group of people feel particularly unacceptable, their faces are blue and black, their stomachs are twitching, and they are unimaginably disgusting. Do it yourself.

Especially the group of students, even after working for a while, ran to the toilet and vomited until the bile almost came out, then came out pale and went to those **** slaughtering sites or eating sites to continue processing the corpses, and after a while I ran to the toilet again...

This is repeated, and the above process is repeated until nothing can be vomited, and the habit is completely adapted.

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

—This is a lot better.

After all, it wasn't that no one couldn't stand it halfway, so they chose to run out and plan to join the protagonist's team to deal with the corpses wandering on the streets outside, but in the end they retreated back in a dreadful defeat.

Not everyone can switch their identities as a matter of course and become warriors immediately. When they see those fantasy images that have been active from the era of black and white movies to today appear in reality, and when they pounce with their claws and claws—

Let's not say that they took the short opportunity to fight back fiercely, blowing their dog heads with one blow.

Most people will even forget the choice of dodging or escaping when they are in fear. They are so scared that their minds go blank, and they only know that they are stiff in place and unable to move.

Let's not say that you are taking the initiative to fight the dead zombies, and you can't even let them push the cart, because when you see the zombies come over because of the movement, and the others are too late to clean up for the time being, then even if it is still halfway across The distance of the street, at least a minute or two can be touched at the speed.

As long as they insist on pushing the car forward, they will hardly be overtaken. The old cow pulls the broken car in front, and the old grandma crosses the road in the back. No matter how slow the former is, they cannot easily be overtaken by the latter.

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 them for choosing to come back to do some tiring, bitter and disgusting work, but at least there is no dangerous work - as long as they are not stupid enough to actively let the external wounds go. Contact with dead body fluids.

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

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

So he walked around the mall to encourage the group in person and praise their work.

The effect was immediate, even though the group was disgusted and tired, but forced themselves to do this kind of work under some inexplicable fear and pressure. But after Xia Ran showed a satisfied smile and said some words of encouragement to them, they seemed to be fighting chicken blood.

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

Now that the goal has been achieved, why can't it be very exciting, which shows that they have the right direction of thinking!

Lower your stance, try your best to show up, flatter yourself, and prove your worth...

……

……

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

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 refers to the absence of blood from corpses.

Xia Ran found a pen and paper, and while she still remembered it, she quickly recorded the results of her previous trip on it.

"If you have the courage and guts, if you can fight, you can join the search team. If you don't want to fight, you can manage the logistics..."

Although Xiao Zuo has memorized the map of the entire bed owner city, it can only be used as a reference. Many details are no longer correct, and the current situation has to be explored in person before he can know a certain road, What happened to a certain area.

Whether it was burnt down by the fire, or there was an explosion, or it was robbed in the turmoil of yesterday.

When Xia Ran was killing monsters, he did a survey and marked down the resource points that he felt were more important. He planned to take the large army and follow the planned route to slowly start clearing the map.

After the pen tip drew the last period, he couldn't help yawning again, the tired look on his face even more obvious.

However, after he put down the pen, he did not choose to meditate and continue to refine his spiritual power, but went straight to sleep. Because his spiritual attribute value has reached 39 points, and further is 40 points.

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 free attribute points to rise again, the small goal now is enough.
