Chapter 230 Cruel World

At the foot of the tall building, a strong black-haired man and a group of former "salvagers" were fully armed and waiting for the battle.

At the edge of the fog, zombies are constantly stepping into this world with heavy steps, and then when they step into an invisible boundary, they are shot down by sudden pea bullets.

Above the tall buildings, the [Pea Snipers] placed on the rooftop are like machines that never stop, constantly harvesting gifts from the mist.

Yes, at least Xiao Jian believed that these zombies were gifts from the mist.

After all, these zombies will drop gift boxes!

Although there were not many zombies in the last wave, it still brought a total of more than 20 minion cards to Xiao Jian.

Now, as a large number of zombies have been killed, scattered gift boxes have appeared among the zombies.

The raven spread its wings and flew over, flying lightly into the zombies, opening a gift box with its claws and collecting the fallen cards.

This flying and grabbing was just smooth and smooth, and he was not attacked by any zombies.

After collecting the cards, the raven flew higher. And Xiao Jian in the small courtyard also had a chocolate resource card in his hand out of thin air.

"..."

"No way……"

"Degenerated so quickly?"

Xiao Jian looked at the chocolate resource card in his hand and suddenly had a bad feeling in his heart.

Although I had known for a long time that the zombies’ drops would get worse and worse, I didn’t expect that the last wave would drop minion cards, and this wave they would all become junk resource cards.

I quickly controlled the raven clone to get a few more cards and came back, only to find that all the cards were resource cards for various candies!

There are fruit candies, marshmallows, lollipops, and even nougat...

Of course, there is no shortage of various chocolates.

Taken together, these zombies are here to celebrate Halloween? Why so many candies?

After the Raven picked up the last resource card on the field, Xiao Jian finally got a resource card that was not candy-Xylitol chewing gum.

"..."

"……Fine."

As Xiao Jian sighed helplessly, the raven flew into the sky again.

There was faint singing coming from the tall building behind him. Although Xiao Jian had never heard of this tune, the lyrics were mostly in praise of the "Crow God".

Xiao Jian didn't bother to distinguish what they were singing, he just flapped his wings and flew into the mist.

In fact, he had been curious a long time ago about how the zombies outside the fog appeared.

Although he has had many ideas, such as appearing out of thin air like a "monster spawn", or condensing mist like a "certain elephant" and then appearing?

Xiao Jian thought a lot, but the only thing he didn't expect was...these zombies actually came out of the ground!

No wonder most of them have dirt on them!

Seeing the zombies "growing" out of the ground in waves like leeks deep in the fog, Xiao Jian took out a blank resource card, and then faced the land where zombies were constantly emerging...

……receive!

As the sunshine value continued to be injected into the blank resource card, the land where zombies appeared quickly disappeared out of thin air, and soon turned into a big pit.

It's a pity that Xiao Jian didn't see anything like a "monster spawner" or an "ancient tomb".

The soil layers underground are very clear, from the soil layer to the loess layer, and a lot of rocks appear deeper...

But the only thing is there are no zombies.

It was as if the zombies were "refreshed" from the soil close to the ground.

And after Xiao Jian dug up the soil layer where zombies were "refreshed", of course there would be no zombies "refreshed" here.

But the problem is that on the land where there were no zombies originally, zombies began to emerge from the ground.

The raven flew closer, activated the [Destruction] feature, and looked at the holes where zombies were being "refreshed".

As a result, there was nothing inside, only endless, seemingly endless darkness.

"...Huh? This?"

Looking at the deep darkness, Xiao Jian suddenly felt familiar.

But when the fire in his eyes burned even more intensely and he wanted to see clearly what was at the bottom of the cave, his eyes suddenly saw through the darkness again...

...Of course there is nothing at the bottom of the hole, only some soil and gravel, and the hole is not deep, only less than 30 centimeters!

sky!

How could such a large zombie emerge from such a shallow pit! ?

In the small courtyard, Xiao Jian's brows furrowed more and more tightly, and the deep darkness that had just passed by briefly made him feel familiar, but he could no longer see it.

As the deep darkness disappeared, the "refresh" of zombies in the fog finally stopped.

When the last zombie walked into the shooting range of [Pea Sniper] and finally fell to the ground under the fire of pea bullets, the zombie siege was temporarily over.

The raven circled once more in the mist, and after confirming that there was nothing unusual in the mist, it flew back to the tall building.

In the meantime, he also picked up all the gift boxes on the ground, and the candy card was +3 again.

"The great Crow God..."

As the raven returned, the survivors in front of the building knelt on the ground with a huff.

"Get up, you don't have to do this anymore." The raven landed on the bird stand next to the tall building, which was specially made for it.

"How many zombie attacks is this?" Xiao Jian asked.

"This is the first time... you came back just after the attack started." The black-haired man replied.

"Well, next time you encounter a zombie attack, you can pray directly to me."

After saying that, Xiao Jian took back his clone.

…

So, what is the darkness in the cave?

Xiao Jian thought for a while and found that he had no clue…

Mist, darkness.

This world seems to be buried with countless puzzles. If you know less, you will be confused, and if you know more, you will be more confused.

No matter how far you go, there seem to be endless secrets ahead.

Even Xiao Jian, who already has the characteristics of [True God], is no exception.

Human cognition is like exploring outward from an origin. As this circle gets bigger and bigger, the area of ​​contact with the outside world becomes larger, and there are more and more things that cannot be understood.

So, the more you know, the less you know.

"Alas..."

Xiao Jian sighed, handed the monocle and [Harmony Stone] to Da Huang who was waiting impatiently, and went back to the bedroom to cover himself with a quilt.

In short, go to sleep.

Everything will be discussed after waking up.

…

The next day, Xiao Jian, with disheveled hair and dirty face, appeared in the fortress town.

Before coming here, Xiao Jian made a special trip to the Black Stone Mountains.

As a result, the disaster day over there has not passed yet, and all the "chimpanzees" are shrinking in the rift shelter to make little people.

Xiao Jian's clone was irritated in the eyes and ears as soon as he went there.

The eyes were of course because he saw something unclean, and the ears...

As mentioned before, there is a female voice among the chimpanzees who speaks very nicely. Her original body is a big chimpanzee with a strong body and a fat belly.

And the chimpanzee named Nie Li who polluted Xiao Jian's ears was this chimpanzee named Nie Li...

Imagine that scene -

When you close your eyes, you hear the action movie of Xiao Ri, and when you open your eyes, you see Hopper holding Nie Li and making little people...

Alas...

Not only was he shown affection, but he was also polluted in all aspects.

For a long time, Xiao Jian felt that the voice in his mind, combined with the rough picture, was always lingering...

So, Xiao Jian, whose face was messy in the wind, ran to the fortress town to have breakfast in a restless state without washing his face.

"Huh? What's wrong with you? Why do you look haggard?" Zhang Jinyu's voice suddenly sounded behind Xiao Jian.

Yes, Xiao Jian used the [Fake Body] on Zhang Jinyu, but because of his confused mind, he didn't notice it. He just turned around and walked towards the cafeteria because he felt hungry.

It was Zhang Jinyu who caught up with him after hearing the voice behind him.

"Nothing, I had a nightmare."

Somehow, after hearing Zhang Jinyu's voice, Xiao Jian felt that his mental state suddenly improved a lot.

The lingering voice in his ears finally calmed down a little.

"Having a nightmare!?" Zhang Jinyu looked at Xiao Jian in surprise, "Do gods also have nightmares?"

"Who knows, anyway I do..." Xiao Jian shrugged.

Although this nightmare is not the same as the other nightmare, Xiao Jian does have dreams, especially when he is about to wake up in the morning...

But the content of the dream is nothing new, it is still the same old things before the end of the world.

Homework, work... Very boring, but the "wonderful" life after the end of the world is not something he can dream of.

So, from this perspective, although Xiao Jian did not have a nightmare in the traditional sense, dreaming about the experience of working 996 can be regarded as a nightmare in a sense, right?

"It's really interesting. It's easy to understand that gods eat, but dreaming...wait, do you go to the toilet?" Zhang Jinyu opened his eyes wide, his face full of curiosity.

"Nonsense!" Xiao Jian replied unhappily, "Why are you asking this?"

"Oh..." Zhang Jinyu blinked and suddenly burst into laughter, and no one knew what she was laughing at.

"Is the trial of the man called Baimao over?"

After saying these two sentences, Xiao Jian's mental state had improved a lot, so he remembered the matter of Baimao.

"The trial is over, but he is not convinced and wants to appeal..." Zhang Jinyu smiled.

"Appeal? Where to appeal?" Xiao Jian was a little amused, "Have you divided it so finely here?"

"The so-called appeal is just a general meeting of all survivors... After all, there were few people present when the verdict was announced, and not many people knew about it later. Moreover, this is the first case of exile, so it is not a bad thing to let more people participate."

Zhang Jinyu explained to Xiao Jian their current practice.

The trial is actually a simplified court. Those who are willing to watch can watch, and those who are willing to make opinions can also do so, but the result of the trial is subject to the judge's verdict.

If it is a problem like petty theft or neighborhood disputes, then it will stop at this point.

But now Baimao is facing exile, so he is still given a chance to appeal, that is, a general meeting for everyone to participate.

If Baimao can obtain a simple majority at the general meeting of all survivors, that is, more than 50% of the votes, then the original verdict will be overturned.

"Oh? When?" Xiao Jian was immediately interested when he heard it.

It's not that he wants to watch the fun, but he wants to take this opportunity to evaluate the degree of integration between the major forces in the fortress town.

It's fine for the Fortress Town to merge with other small world fragments, as there are few residents there and they are not very strong.

But after merging with the Ranch Town, Xiao Jian also wanted to observe how the Fortress Town digested the Ranch Town.

After all, the Farm Town that will be merged in a while, as well as similar stronger world fragments, will also be merged into the Fortress Town one by one.

After all, when there are too many people, the conflicts of interest will become complicated. In addition, since they are originally from different world fragments, it is easy for acquaintances to form groups and cliques for personal gain, and then go further to form cliques to attack dissidents.

If this leads to some quarrels, it will be a big deal... It is better for everyone to live alone. If there is a disaster, it depends on who can survive.

Anyway, it is not the turn of the fortress to die.

Xiao Jian talked and laughed with Zhang Jinyu all the way to the cafeteria, and then ate something casually, and ran to Shao Youxian's "isolation room" to chat with him for a long time.

Shao Youxian didn't have any opinion on the fog and darkness.

After all, the information obtained so far is too little to support any speculation.

Xiao Jian had a rare leisure time afterwards, and after thinking about it, he simply took Da Huang out of the small courtyard.

"Meow meow meow?"

Da Huang was still wearing a monocle on his face, and he didn't react when he was suddenly taken over.

But when it found that this was a vast world, it immediately twisted with joy.

Xiao Jian put it in the field, and it ran away in a flash.

Before, Da Huang had been trapped in the yard, so it was fine. Now Xiao Jian found that it was weak and had no way to let go!

"... Forget it, go play."

Xiao Jian felt the contractual connection between him and Da Huang, and after confirming that he could summon Da Huang at any time through the contract, he ignored it.

It was not easy to let the wind go, so he let it have fun.

Xiao Jian himself also took a short stroll in the Fortress Town.

Since the invention of the small fan engraved with runes, the Fortress Town can be said to be different every day.

Although the incorporation of large world fragments is currently only in the Ranch Town, as long as the small fan is turned on, all kinds of strange world debris will hit it anytime and anywhere.

Occasionally, there will be super-small world fragments with several or more than a dozen people in it!

Many world fragments have long been disconnected from other worlds... They don't know the Fortress Town, the South Five Fortress, and even some basic common sense after the end of the world!

These tiny world fragments are sandwiched between several large world fragments, but due to the loss of communication, they have not been able to contact other people until now.

The joys and sorrows, blood and tears in this are hard to tell to outsiders.

According to the situation of these tiny world fragments, there should be many people who have lost contact with the main force since the end of the world and are trapped in these small world fragments.

Even think about it more deeply-those world remnants that keep hitting the fortress town, did some people live in them?

They died silently until the world collapsed beyond recognition?

Or were they already killed by zombies, so the fog swallowed these world fragments into the remnants in front of them?

Many things cannot be thought about deeply.

Thinking too much is all despair.

Especially those with strong empathy, who are already crying at the edge of the fog.
