Chapter 590: City of Despair (10)(1/2)
Qianye watched all this in silence and had no intention of stopping it.
Guys who are willing to take the initiative to be deceived often cannot be persuaded. He knows this very well.
Just like that, the rhythm was dragged along by these few...
This scam is a scam that was used on the old trains in the past. In fact, it is not very clever to be honest, but it is just due to everyone's fear and eagerness to get supplies.
As a result, they were forced to jump into this pit of fire.
There were things like paper and pens in the supplies box, but no one needed them anyway, so they were confiscated and used as tools for drawing lots.
The man divided the paper into many parts in advance, and then distributed it to everyone so that everyone could fill in the number from the beginning. At the same time, he also wrote the number on each item of supplies to correspond to the items drawn.
The numbers are all different, which means it is impossible for two people to have a dispute if they draw the same number.
Qianye participated in the lottery without saying much. When it came time to draw, he randomly picked out a few pieces of paper from the messed up papers.
After unfolding it, he looked at it and found that he was pretty lucky. Although the things he drew were not very good, they were useful and could alleviate his difficulty of not having supplies during this period...
Of course, others are different.
Some people have drawn something they want and are filled with joy, while others have drawn something completely worthless and have a look of despair.
In order to reduce suspicion, the proposer of the lottery game also deliberately made the things he drew bad, deliberately acted very upset and angry in front of everyone, and even cursed himself for why he came up with this bad idea.
The good things were assigned to his companions...
Needless to say, those supplies will definitely be distributed by several people in the end. This is the most common thing among scams.
"No! What's the use of this thing for me!"
"No, I want to smoke again. You gave me this thing just because you want me to starve to death!"
"Yes, draw again!"
"You really want to be shameless? Didn't we ask everyone before we smoked? We all agreed before we used this method. Now that we are not satisfied with what we smoked, we ask for another one?"
"Yes, what if we who draw good things get bad ones next time? Have you forgotten what you dared to say?"
"What are you forgetting? I never agreed from the beginning to the end. It was all because of you guys who said yes, that I was forced to participate. Do you have any evidence that I agreed?!"
"..."
All right.
The ending was almost the same as Chino expected.
The scam of these guys is indeed running normally, but they still underestimated how ruthless people can be in extreme despair.
If you get a bad result in the lottery, you will naturally not accept this result. The supplies are right in front of you. Who can agree to take some things back and then starve to death?
The faces of the people who pulled off the scam looked a little ugly...
They underestimated rogues and overestimated people's moral bottom line in this situation.
The current conflicts are getting more and more intense. After all, half of the people have bad results in the lottery.
Moreover, in the chaos, someone picked up a large awl that had been dropped on the ground by the original owner of the cabin, and threatened to ask for a new draw.
There has never been a violent fight before.
It is simply because the distribution of supplies has not yet been determined. Now that everyone knows what they are getting, those who originally thought of using violence to solve the problem will naturally be unable to hold back at this time.
"Pull again!"
"Otherwise, I will stab you to death, and everyone will be miserable!"
"It's all death anyway, but I can exchange several lives for one, so it's worth it!"
"Brother, calm down..."
"Why are you so cold and quiet? You can stand and talk without pain in your back. Since you are so generous, would you like to exchange our things?!"
Sweat broke out on the forehead of the person who proposed the lottery.
The current situation is indeed beyond his control, and now he doesn't know what to do. There are two or three levels of people who want to use force. If he fights forcefully, he can't guarantee that he will not be killed in the chaos.
After all there is no law here...
For example, the original owners of the two wooden houses were beaten to death just now. If these guys are driven crazy, they can do anything!
"Everyone, calm down! Why don't you listen to me?"
"In this way, if we draw good things, we can keep some of them in our hands, and then put some of them back, so that those who don't get survival supplies can use what they have to exchange, okay?"
"Anyway, everyone's goal is to survive. There is no need for us to fight to the death among ourselves..."
The man is trying his best to persuade.
It's just that he didn't say it was okay. This opening directly pointed all the fingers at him.
"Put it back? You put it lightly. Why should I exchange some useless garbage with others for the things I drew based on my ability?"
"Everyone said before the draw that what you draw depends on luck. Unfortunately, you still proposed this method... What? What you got yourself is not good, so you want to get some benefits from us.
Bar?"
"Idiot's dream!"
This man's actions seem to have shot himself in the foot.
Originally, he got the worthless items because he was afraid that others would suspect him of being a scam. Now that he made this suggestion, people couldn't help but yell at him.
Frankly speaking, Qianye found it a bit funny.
At the beginning, I made the move with no good intentions and wanted to get more benefits, but I didn't expect that in the end, this move ended up on me.
After all, if you come out to hang out, you will have to pay it back sooner or later.
Without thinking through the causes and consequences, the man's outcome was basically doomed when he started planning...
The quarrel became more and more heated.
There were several people among them who were unhappy with each other and started yelling. In a few minutes, a melee would break out, and many people would have to be hacked to death.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! But at this moment, Qianye suddenly felt a particularly familiar aura.
Before he could fully come to his senses.
Just watching the two people arguing at the door of the cabin, their heads rolled down at the same time...
Yes, their heads just fell off their necks for no apparent reason.
Nothing special appeared, and they were not chopped with a knife. It was as if an invisible transparent thread passed through the necks of the two people, and then the bodies were separated.
"ah!!!"
"You...you moved your hands?!"
"I don't have anything. I don't have anything in my hands. How can I do it?"
"Is it possible that that thing is back?"
"..."
The head falls.
It was like a stone being thrown into a calm lake, causing ripples. Everyone who was still arguing about the distribution issue was now completely focused on the two people whose heads fell off.
Qianye narrowed his eyes and took half a step back.
He raised his head and looked towards the door. In his unclear and slightly blurry vision, he saw two figures walking in from the outside...
No, to be precise it cannot be described as walking.
The soles of their shoes did not touch the ground. Looking carefully, it seemed more appropriate to say that they floated all the way.
"The ability to step into the air..."
"Su Zao?"
Qianye didn't look away.
Staring closely at the two figures approaching the door.
The face slowly became clearer in his field of vision. Besides Su Zao, Qianye also saw the person he didn't want to see.
"There is a room..."
The right fist was clenched unconsciously.
Every detail between the two people immediately emerged in Qianye's mind. Looking at that unfamiliar yet familiar face, his mood was extremely complicated.
Everyone was surprised by the appearance of these two people.
Not only did the soles of their shoes not touch the ground, they really didn't expect anyone to come over at this time.
The terrifying thing that just appeared made everyone panic and want to escape, so subconsciously, everyone thought that there would be no one outside the house at this time.
certainly.
In addition, there are also people who are attracted by Yuma's appearance...
Her white, clean dress and facial features with almost no flaws could be picked out. She looked out of place among this group of people who had been hungry for an unknown amount of time and were all sallow and skinny.
