After arranging the desperate people, Tang Zhen no longer wasted time and began to lead the dwarf and others towards the square.
On the city wall behind them, there were nearly ten thousand pairs of eyes, looking at them intently.
There is regret and expectation in these eyes, but most of them are full of unwillingness.
Although they had thought about following Tang Zhen to a high-end neighborhood, they subconsciously felt fear when they thought of the difficulties they were about to face.
Rather than taking risks, it is better to stay safe and spend the rest of your life safely.
Different choices determine different paths, and they are no longer related to each other at this moment.
…
When they saw Tang Zhen and his group walking towards the square, the skeleton monsters wandering in the mud began to become extremely active.
They continuously emerge from the mud and gather on both sides of the road, waiting for the unlucky ones who stumble.
"I can't see through the illusion. It all depends on luck. I don't know how much will be left in the end."
Tang Zhen's eyes swept over the skeleton monsters, with a cold look in his eyes, and he turned to the dwarf and the others and said: "During the next journey, you must keep in mind my footsteps and never deviate.
Otherwise, if you make one mistake, your life may be lost, and no one can save you.
I’m definitely not alarmist, if you don’t believe it, you can try it!”
After hearing what Tang Zhen said, everyone had solemn expressions on their faces and expressed that they would be more careful.
There are dangers everywhere in the city of despair, and there are almost no safe places. The huge square covered with grass in front of them looks very wrong at first sight. How can they dare to take it lightly?
"I will give you three minutes to prepare, and then you will form a long queue and follow behind, while tying ropes around your waist.
Each group of twenty people will never be allowed to loosen the rope easily without my order!"
After hearing Tang Zhen's order, the desperate people followed it one after another, and soon formed a long queue again.
When the time comes, Tang Zhen should take the first step forward.
Dwarf, Xiao Wu and others followed closely behind, followed by nearly a thousand desperate people who chose to follow. They followed closely behind Tang Zhen with nervous expressions on their faces.
There was nothing unusual at first, but it didn't take long for them to feel something was wrong.
The seemingly empty square was filled with an indescribable stench that made people nauseous.
Waves of strange sounds kept ringing in their ears, as if something was rolling in the mud, and as if something evil was whispering softly in their ears.
The desperate person who was already a little nervous became even more nervous at this moment, carefully guarding against the sudden arrival of danger.
Unknowingly, the team's progress was also affected.
Tang Zhen glanced back, but didn't say much.
At this time, the road underfoot is still wide, and even if the team is slightly confused, there will be no danger.
However, as we continue to advance, the road becomes narrower, and if chaos occurs again, we must take countermeasures.
The purpose of tying the rope is to ensure that everyone is brought there, but if there is a black sheep, Tang Zhen will never keep him, but will eliminate him as soon as possible.
Where Tang Zhen and others walked, the skeletons gathered on the roadside let out a disappointed cry, then struggled desperately in the mud, clinging to the back of the team.
If no one falls here, someone may fall later. As long as you wait patiently, there will always be unlucky people.
After walking for more than ten minutes, the road suddenly changed. It was originally several meters wide, but now it was only three feet wide.
Although this width is more than enough for walking, you still need to be careful.
Moreover, compared with the original flatness, the road surface has now begun to become rough and bumpy, with depressions and bulges from time to time.
If you are not careful and trip, you will fall into the mud swamp next to it.
After reaching this point, dangerous situations finally appeared frequently. Desperate people could not see the rugged places on the ground, so they would stumble from time to time.
If it weren't for the ropes on their bodies, they would have fallen into the mud swamp and been torn into pieces by those skeleton monsters.
But even so, some unlucky ones still stumbled and fell into the swamp, and then the skeletons took the opportunity to grab their bodies and tear them downwards desperately.
These skeletal monsters have sharp bone claws that can pierce into the flesh almost as soon as they are scratched, and the desperate people who are attacked will be scarred in an instant.
Whenever this happens, those desperate people will struggle desperately and cry out to their companions for help.
Because they are tied with ropes, most desperate people will try their best to pull their companions up again after they are in danger.
As long as they don't die, there is always the possibility of healing the wounds on their bodies. After all, they have Tang Zhenfen's healing medicine.
However, there were still some guys who were afraid of being implicated. After their companions fell into the quagmire, they directly drew their knives and cut off the ropes on their bodies.
From the beginning to the end, he did not reach out to rescue him, for fear of implicating himself.
Selfishness, this is a subconscious reaction,
Without the pull of the rope, the desperate person who fell into the swamp had no chance to struggle, and was directly pulled out into the mud.
Before and after, a total of more than a dozen teams encountered similar situations, and nearly a hundred desperate people lost their lives in an instant.
Those who did not rescue their companions soon experienced the consequences. After they cut off their companions' ropes, other desperate people began to refuse to connect to their ropes.
No one would entrust their life to such companions. When the other party is in trouble, you may help him, but when something goes wrong, they will definitely stand by and watch as a matter of course, or even give you a push.
After finding no one to tie the rope with them, these desperate people all looked gloomy and cautiously moved forward.
"Okay, there is a large platform here, covering thousands of square meters. Everyone can take a rest here."
At this moment, Tang Zhen suddenly stopped and said to the desperate man behind him.
Upon hearing this, everyone let out a sigh of relief and sat softly on the ground.
Tang Zhen glanced at the desperate people and said in a cold voice: "The next section of the road will become more dangerous. If you want to pass smoothly, you must have the most trustworthy partner.
But I think everyone has seen the behavior of some people just now. You yourself know whether such people are trustworthy."
Tang Zhen kept silent after saying this. He had given enough reminders. If these desperate people still didn't know what to do, they could only say that they deserved to die.
This was because he was too lazy to take action, otherwise this black sheep would have been driven away by himself.
Just after Tang Zhen said these words, the expressions of those desperate people who had cut off the ropes changed drastically.
They have clearly felt that the eyes of the desperate people around them have changed, with a trace of murderous intent.
Obviously, many desperate people despise their previous behavior from the bottom of their hearts, but they are just unable to do it due to the constraints of the environment.
After realizing their situation, those desperate people immediately held their weapons vigilantly and loudly explained to Tang Zhen: "We didn't do it on purpose, it was just a subconscious reaction due to the critical situation at the time.
They will definitely die and there is no way to save them. If the rope is not cut off, everyone will be affected."
It was obviously his own fault, but he had to kidnap others to absolve himself of responsibility.
Tang Zhen shook his head and said softly: "I didn't say you did anything wrong. After all, this is a world where the jungle prevails. If you are not cruel, you won't be able to survive at all.
I just say that you are not trustworthy. If you betray your teammates once, you will betray them a second time.
So I can give you a chance to choose, either turn around and go back now, or keep a certain distance behind us and hand over the weapons in your hands.
I think you yourself know very well what consequences you will encounter if you refuse to cooperate."
