1067 Ruins(1/2)
The person who went in before also saw this scene and leaned back desperately.
But after all, people who have lived in the end of the world for more than two years, no one shouted or hysterical. Everyone was on guard against it. Once attacked, they would definitely fight back.
Those green or fishy red eyes did not approach, but just looked at these new people so quietly.
“Is there anything to eat?”
A dry and hoarse voice sounded, which relieved the new people.
Even if the same kind in the end of the world is terrible, in such a dark environment, it will make people feel much more at ease if they are not mutated life.
Since humans adhere to the situation of not eating zombie meat, even now, food is still a big problem for ordinary evolvers. The situation is similar to that of the wild beasts before. When they hunt prey, they will eat for several days. Once they cannot find a suitable target for attack for a period of time, they will go hungry.
So for humans, hearing that someone cares about you, you will naturally become alert.
So, the new people would not get together, and they did not relax at all, and even everyone raised the steel cone in their hands.
Ye Zhongming stood behind the stone wall. Although it was extremely dark here, he could still vaguely see some things.
The other people with strange green or fishy red eyes are a group of people wearing tattered clothes, disheveled hair, and hunched bodies. Each of them looks more like evil spirits coming out of hell than advanced lives with flesh and blood.
It seems that these people have been staying in these mines for a long time.
At this time, a person opened his mouth and protruded a ball of light, slowly rising to mid-air here. It was his profession or other skill.
The light ball suddenly lit up here. Although it was still a little dim, it could be seen clearly at least.
But in the clear vision, the newcomers also saw clearly the appearance of the humans on the other side, all sucking in the air conditioner, and an unstoppable chill appeared in their eyes.
Not for these people, but for yourself.
Because they seem to have seen their future.
The newcomers looked at the people who seemed to be surrounded by dirt. The "old people" were holding the same rigid cones as theirs in their hands, and some even held two, but the steel cones were obviously old and worn, and some were even completely broken.
When Ye Zhongming saw some dark brown marks on the steel cones, he raised his eyebrows.
"It's unfortunate for you to do this." An old man looked at the person who was just talking, raised two steel cones in his hand, and said to the dozens of new people: "Half of food and water are left, which is considered a gift for meeting. Otherwise, we have to kill you and take these things from your hands."
Even if the face is black, you can see the hideousness on this person's face.
Ye Zhongming looked back and saw that the entrance of the cave that only allowed people to bend down and go in and out was silently blocked by a huge rock.
"You don't follow the rules again!"
A voice inserted into it, breaking the gradual tension between the two sides. A old man, who was also covered in hair and was not clean, was at least tidy than the group of people who came first, walked into the huge stone hall next to the entrance from another direction.
And the new people found that there was no green or redness in these people's eyes.
Ye Zhongming looked at the "old people" who were obviously divided into two sects, and suddenly thought of some possibility. When he looked at those people with green, fishy, red and bright eyes, he felt a little chill.
"Old guy, you're not dead yet."
The dirty man holding two steel cones smiled, but his face was full of murderous intent.
The two groups of people began to confront each other, with more than 200 people each, and the dozens of new people seemed a little lonely.
"My team welcomes you to join. We are willing to share the situation here with you so that you can live more easily until the day we have the opportunity to go out."
The relatively clean old man looked at Ye Zhongming and others and nodded slightly, "My name is Lin Yixun, these are my children."
"Hey, pretending to be like a good person, you are not doing the same thing as outside, old people will soon recognize your appearance."
Lin Yixun shook his head, "It's better than you guys who cannibalize."
When the newcomers heard this, they all moved towards Lin Yixun.
The end of the world is cruel, and eating people happens from time to time, but if there are other choices, no one will be willing to eat the same kind. Evolutionaries usually hate and hate such people.
What Ye Zhongming just remembered was about eating people. Because those who often eat human flesh will change their eyes, that is, green or fishy red.
No one knows the specific reason and no one studies this kind of thing, but the rumors in previous lives were like this. Today Ye Zhongming has truly seen it.
That person knew that as long as Lin Yixun broke this incident, these newcomers would inevitably be rejected by him and his people. It would be impossible for him to do anything today. He once again showed that kind of hehe smile and led the people to retreat from the other side of the passage.
But before leaving, he glanced at Ye Zhongming and others and said coldly: "One day, you will fall into my arms, I'll wait for you."
Seeing these people disappear deep in the dark passage, the scene suddenly became deserted. Lin Yixun didn't say much, but waved to Ye Zhongming and others, signaling them to follow, and then led the people in front.
"What should I do? Follow or not?"
Someone talked, and although these newcomers didn't know each other for a long time, they were more willing to be with each other under such circumstances.
"Follow, what if you don't follow!"
The person who spoke was the boss of a force and the person who had previously highlighted the luminous skill. Most of his people were here, so his words were immediately responded. The team followed Lin Yixun and others toward the depths of the mine.
As we penetrated into the mine, the new people felt that the size of this place was like an underground maze, and it was all dug by hand. Many people didn't say it, but they were shocked. How many people would it take and how long would it take to have such a mine?
Only Ye Zhongming, who has an in-depth understanding of the power of the evolvers, knows that digging such a mine is actually not a difficult thing for the evolvers to do.
Ye Zhongming was very careful about the hole walls on both sides and hoped to find something.
The purpose of his coming in was to see what the stone beads the water deacon who posted him wanted to get, and then infer the real purpose of the Mingshui feast.
As for the people here, he really didn't care much about it. He could see that the old man named Lin Yixun and the man who cannibalized him just now were both five-star evolutionists, and it did not pose a threat to him.
But he walked all the way. Although the light was very dark and only a few torches in the team were lit, he could still see clearly, but he found nothing.
Soon, these people came to a stone hall that was not as small as the one that was not as small as the one that entered the mine.
However, the stone hall is not high, it looks only 1.89 meters tall. People who are tall need to lower their heads, which gives people a very depressing feeling.
"Sit all, Xiaoliang, let someone go to the surrounding entrances to keep watch, don't be touched by those beasts."
Lin Yixun sat on the ground first, took out his water bottle from the cloth belt he took from his waist and took a sip, then looked at the newcomer who was standing together and not sitting down, with a nervous look on his face.
"You guys sit down, they are all miserable people. Everyone should cooperate with each other in the future."
Some other people also spoke one after another, and after eased the newcomers' emotions, Lin Yixun continued: "I know you have a lot of doubts, I'll tell you one by one."
After sighing, Lin Yixun said, "The longest people in this mine have been around for almost a year. The same is true for several other mines. They are the first people who have been thrown in. It is not easy to be able to live."
"I have been here for more than half a year because the evolution level is pretty good. I was elected by these children as the leader. If you are willing to follow me, then you are a member of this big family. If you don't want to, you can also act alone. But I want to remind you that the mine cave is very dangerous, there are also mutated lives here, and there are a large number and strong strength. If you are not careful, you will die. And the black dog people you saw just now are fatal threats."
"What is a stone bead? What is its function?"
Ye Zhongming suddenly spoke, making everyone's eyes focus on his face.
He was really impatient to listen to the old man winning people's hearts. If it weren't for the fact that there were too many people here, it would be very troublesome to have conflicts. He might have asked directly.
The old man looked at Ye Zhongming with some surprise.
"This is the stone bead." The old man used his eyes to stop a few subordinates who wanted to come and teach Ye Zhongming a lesson. He took out a gray-white bead the size of a glass ball from his clothes and threw it directly to Ye Zhongming.
Ye Zhongming reached out to take it and took it in his hand and looked carefully.
The beads are not very smooth, but on the contrary, they are a bit rough. Ye Zhongming's power is already great. When he holds the stone beads in his hand, he feels like they can be crushed by pinching them.
After looking around, Ye Zhongming walked to the side of a torch, and then observed brightly that there were some dark patterns on the stone beads, which were not regular and did not contain any energy. It was obviously not a material.
Ye Zhongming was a little puzzled. If the lines on it weren't for the special, then there was nothing attractive about such stone beads. Why would Gong Shangming pay special attention to it? Why could this thing be used to exchange for good things from the water deacon?
"Do you know what this thing is useful?" This is Ye Zhongming's second question.
"If I knew, I might not be trapped here. If I wanted to survive, I could only exchange these beads for food and water every day."
Lin Yixun has a good temper and answered Ye Zhongming's question.
"Have you been mining these beads here since the beginning?"
"Yes."
“All beads are the same?”
"It is generally consistent, but the smoothness is different, and the patterns on it are also different. If you can find beads that are close to glass with smoothness and regular patterns, you can get more food and water. I think it should be beads of higher quality."
Ye Zhongming nodded and didn't say anything. He had been looking at the old man's eyes just now and found that his eyes were very calm, his voice was not hesitating or trembling, and his heartbeat was not chaotic. Ninety percent of them were not lying.
"But I once heard a news while changing food, but I just don't know if it's true or false. If you're interested, we can talk about it alone."
Ye Zhongming was slightly stunned, nodded and returned to his position, sitting there and continuing to look at Shizhu, without any rebirth of Lin Yixun.
The others looked at the old and the young, with a little confused expression.
Lin Yixun was straightened and continued to speak, which was nothing more than some rules here, such as the stone pillars mined should be handed over to him to exchange food together. His explanation was that in this way, he could have a little say and exchange more materials from outside.
If people want to survive, they cannot rely solely on food and water. They also need vegetables, salt, and even something to relieve the stress caused by the darkness.
For example, cigarettes, spirits, and even drugs.
In this process, the elderly will naturally withhold some, but in return, they will also ensure safety to a certain extent and provide information on the mining location and other information and conveniences.
"The black dog thinks that I am exploiting everyone like those outside. I don't deny that I have gained some benefits. I eat more than you and drink more water than you, but I also pay. I guarantee you as much as possible to live rather than die. When one day, our strength is enough, I will take everyone out. So, please believe me, because we have a common goal, and a good organization is the foundation for everything."
Ye Zhongming sneered in his heart when he heard this. He did not deny that what the old man said was logical, and the facts might be like this, but if he had no selfishness, he would not believe it. Lin Yixun must have his own plans.
"Okay, let's talk about this. Now is the time for you to make a decision. If you are willing to follow me, stay. If you don't want to, please leave."
It is not easy to gain people's trust in the end of the world. After the old man said this, more than a dozen people left. They obviously prefer to believe in themselves.
Ye Zhongming didn't move because he had his own plans.
Soon, the newcomers were arranged, and everyone had a few hours of rest time, and then they had to work.
To be continued...
