"For mud tires in the visual field, villagers who are ten steps away from you will have priority. Just put one dollar into the merit box.
Remember, after putting money into the box, if the mud tire in your vision has stopped, don’t continue to put money in!”
"The villagers fifteen steps away are waiting behind."
Su Wu placed the merit box on the ground and put a dollar into it first.
The reason why he ordered everyone not to put too much money into the box was because he was worried that the first time the money was invested was a large base, and the next time he paid the "protection fee", he would need to spend more money, and the villagers might
Can't take it out.
After all, if you invest 70 to 80 yuan once or twice, 99% of the villagers can come up with this money.
But when it comes time to spend seven to eight hundred yuan for the third time, I'm afraid some villagers will be stretched thin.
What's more, this cannot rule out the possibility of having to pay the fourth or fifth "protection fee".
The protection fee to be paid increases tenfold every time.
With the family background of these ordinary people, how many times can they afford it?
Everyone watched Su Wu put the merit box at the front of the queue, and they couldn't understand why at this critical moment, the other party would ask them to queue up and invest money?
The old men and women at the front of the queue were even more hesitant.
Old people like them can queue up outside a cold and windy supermarket two hours in advance for a few discounted eggs.
At this time, Su Wu asked them to put money into a broken box for no reason, and they felt a little guilty.
"Every thirty seconds you delay, the mud tire in your vision will move closer to you.
You old people, standing at the front of the team, can put money into the box at any time. No matter how close the distance is, as long as you put money in, you can stabilize the mud tire and save your life.
But there are many others behind it.
Now, every second you hesitate, you make everyone wait with you for a second. If you can afford to wait, can the people behind you afford to wait?"
Su Wu stared coldly at the old woman at the front of the queue.
The old woman hasn't spoken yet.
At the back end of the queue, a middle-aged man was already shouting anxiously: "Mom, please invest money quickly, don't waste everyone's time!"
No matter how much it is, it’s only one dollar.
At a time like this, wouldn’t it be rare for someone to cheat you out of a dollar?!”
The old woman was quite obedient to her son's words. After hearing this, she quickly put a dollar into the box and said in a low voice to Su Wu: "I'm sorry."
He lowered his head and hurriedly moved away.
If there is one, then there is the other,
The queue of hundreds of people soon started to move,
It takes an average of three to five seconds for each person to put money into the box, and the number of people in the team decreases rapidly.
While they were investing money, Su Wu simulated it again.
This time, he found several merit boxes in other places in the square and took them back for the villagers to put money into them.
Finally, the mud tire in everyone's eyes was fixed.
He then exits the simulation.
"This simulation is over."
"Rating: C+.
Comment: Due to your appearance, more than 90% of the villagers in Longshanji are temporarily safe, but you have not yet left this village and have not escaped the shadow of Li Wei.
Reward: The basic reward for scoring above C is 50 yuan jade;
Rescued 363 villagers and 726 Yuan Yuan;
Talent upgrade spell (green)*1.
Your wallet balance is 1504250726=15818 yuan jade."
This time, Su Wu had temporarily rescued all the villagers in the square, but the simulator's comment said that he had rescued "more than 90%" of the villagers.
Are there any omissions?
Su Wu couldn't help but think of those villagers who had disappeared before he got the merit box.
——These villagers really don’t seem to be dead.
Including these disappeared people, that is all the villagers currently living in Longshan.
According to the current evaluation standards of the simulator, as long as you temporarily rescue all the villagers, you can get a B-lower rating.
If you successfully lead all the villagers out of the strange shrouded area,
It’s very possible to actually get a ‘lower’ rating!
What are the rewards for a Grade A rating?
It's a pity that even if I know that the disappeared villagers are not dead yet,
Where can I find them now?
Su Wu frowned.
He didn't have time to worry too much. First, he exchanged the talent of 'Cyclonus (White)' that he didn't have time to buy last time, and used the newly obtained green spell to upgrade the talent.
In this way, the wallet balance becomes: 15818-50=15768 yuan jade.
Cyclonus (green): When you run at full speed, your speed will be increased by 40%.
Subsequently, he left the simulation.
The queue length in front of the merit box has been reduced a bit.
Even though the villagers have tried their best to speed up, there is only one box for them to use. If this continues, it will be impossible for everyone to pay the "protection fee".
Yun Nishang came over.
He looked at Su Wu with worried eyes and said: "If this continues, even if everyone only spends three to five seconds to invest money, the people behind may not get their turn."
She originally wanted to queue up with the others and put money into the box to pay the protection fee when it was her turn.
But at Su Wu's request, she, Xie Yunqing and others were able to invest money first, calming the confusion in their eyes.
The reason why Su Wu asked so
It's because these people are quite capable and can help them better organize the villagers.
"It doesn't matter.
I'll go find a few more boxes." Su Wu nodded and replied.
Yun Nishang hesitated for a moment: "Previously, when I entered this strange shrouded area, a teammate seemed to have smashed a similar box with a gun..."
When she saw the merit box brought back by Su Wu, Yun Nishang made a judgment.
When she, Xiao Jinrong, and Shen Yuanyuan entered the mysterious shrouded area, the unknown object that Xiao Jinrong drew his gun and smashed must have been this kind of half-old merit box!
After learning about this, Yun Nichang was worried that the merit box in the mysterious shrouded area would be reduced because of Xiao Jinrong's actions, and she was tormented in her heart.
Su Wu turned his head and glanced at Yun Nishang, without saying anything else, he just said: "The merit box is just an ordinary wooden box, and it has no weird power in itself.
Only if this kind of box is placed in the current strange shrouded area will it be connected with the strange rhyme and produce many variables.
Breaking a box is no problem."
At most, it's just that he was attacked by Gui.
Yun Nichang is still covered in bandages, which shows that she and her teammates have been attacked by Sui.
"You're here to appease them,
Don't let them jump in line to grab a spot.
I'll be back in a moment." Su Wu said and prepared to leave.
Yun Nishang said again at this time: "I think you can control them better than me. Why don't you let me find the merit box, and you can watch them here..."
"no."
Su Wu shook his head.
He looked at her and said: "It's best for you, the village chief, and Dao Chief Xie to stay here. You are not familiar with the situation outside and it is easy for things to go wrong.
We don't have time to wait for you to try and make mistakes."
Su Wu himself tried it out in the simulator and missed it.
Hearing this, Yun Nishang no longer persisted.
He nodded: "Okay, please take care of yourself."
Su Wu turned around and walked into the darkness.
Disappeared from everyone's sight.
He took a mud tire, went to a remote corner, called up the simulator, exchanged all the merit boxes he got in the simulation, held two under his arm, carried two more in his hand, and walked around the square again.
As Su Wu said, the merit box itself is not a mysterious item.
Exchanging them from the simulation is easy.
It only costs four yuan of jade to exchange for four.
The villagers, who were restless in the queue and almost unbearable, were greatly excited when they saw Su Wu walking into the darkness and returning within a few minutes with several merit boxes in his arms.
Su Wu didn't say much, put the four boxes on the ground, and said: "Divide into four more queues, and arrange them according to the distance.
No mess!
Now every second of delay increases the possibility of encountering danger!"
He once said,
Wei He, Accountant Li, and the two Taoist priests cooperated with him and divided the villagers into four teams, lined up in front of the four newly obtained merit boxes, and put in the banknotes one by one.
Because he tried it once in the simulation,
With the rehearsal and practice in reality, it not only saves the time of searching for the merit box, but also suppresses some thorny villagers in advance, shortening the time again.
In the end, there are now a total of 363 Longshan villagers in the square, and they all paid one yuan of "protection fee" to freeze the mud tires in their eyes.
No one can see the mud tire within ten steps of themselves!
The villagers survived the catastrophe, and everyone had a hint of joy on their faces, but this joy suddenly dissipated when they saw the motionless mud tire in their vision.
The presence of mud tires in their vision reminds them that they are only temporarily safe.
"Everyone should line up in five teams in the same order as before. Village Chief Wei, Accountant Li, Captain Xiao, Daoist Huang, and Daoist Xie. Come and get a merit box each and lead the queue." Su Wu placed the five merit boxes.
In front of him, he waved to the five people whose names he called to come over.
The people gathered in the square lined up according to the instructions.
Here, Su Wu distributed the merit boxes to five people and said to them: "We have no choice but to wait here. We must try to leave here.
When I came to Longshanji, I took the winding mountain road going up from the east end of the village.
Although it's a bit dangerous over there, it's still manageable.
So I suggest you take the villagers and walk that road with me.
I wonder what your opinions are, Village Chief Wei?"
Yun Nishang, who was standing next to Su Wu, said: "I came directly over the mountain from the path, and the environment there... has become more dangerous.
It's impossible to get out if you take the villagers along that road."
Longshan Ji is built next to a mountain. There are roads to the east and west of the village that lead to the outside world. There is also a small road - the road that Yun Nishang and the others took, which can also lead directly to the outside world.
However, it is more difficult to walk on that path and cross the mountains during the day.
Not to mention that it was nighttime, and we had to take a group of old, weak, sick and disabled people over the mountain, which was definitely very dangerous.
Especially because of the interference between Xiao Jinrong and Xiao Jinrong, the charm of that road became even more intense, making it impossible for people to pass!
I got suggestions from Su Wu and Yun Nishang.
Wei He, Accountant Li and others pondered for a moment, then nodded and said: "Since Mr. Su has already explored the road leading to the east exit of the village, let's go out through this road."
"good."
Su Wu responded: "Let everyone prepare ten to fifty yuan in change.
When we are on our way later, if we find that something is wrong, we will stop immediately and put money into the merit box."
"Is the money you want to invest ten times more than the last time every time?" Accountant Li suddenly asked after hearing this.
"Yes." Su Wu nodded.
His response made several old people look heavy.
It's completely dark now,
It will take at least twenty minutes to take hundreds of people to the east end of the village. Who knows if the mud tires can stop during these twenty minutes?
If the mud tire moves every few minutes,
They have to keep putting money into the merit box.
In this way, the money invested every time is ten times that of the last time. How many times can the villagers afford to pay?
If you have money, you can make the devil turn the millstone, but if you don't have money, the millstone will grind you like beans into bloody mud!
Everyone's hearts were heavy.
However, these words cannot be told to the villagers to avoid panic among the crowd.
Village Chief Wei and others went down and only informed the villagers to prepare loose banknotes worth about fifty yuan. Then the team was gathered together, merged into the main road, and headed for the exit at the east end of the village.
The flashlight beam cut through the darkness,
People were holding mud tires and walking in a hurry, and the only sounds they could hear were the friction of their clothes and the sound of their shoes hitting the ground.
Yun Nishang followed Su Wu's instructions and kept running at the front and end of the team to avoid anyone falling behind or disappearing for no reason.
Perhaps Village Chief Wei and others prayed secretly in their hearts,
Their voices were heard by the will in the underworld, so the villagers walked all the way until they were approaching the entrance of the village on the east. When they were only thirty or fifty steps away from the entrance of the village, the mud tire in everyone's vision suddenly moved forward.
step.
"Move, move - move!"
"The mud tire... moved again!"
"Hurry up and put the merit box in place and line up to put money in it. Each person can only put ten yuan in it, don't exceed this amount!"
Su Wu ordered the team to stop, and the five people in front quickly placed the merit boxes.
The entire team poured money into the merit box one after another with the highest efficiency.
The panicked shouts in the team gradually stopped.
He also put ten dollars into the box, then stood aside and breathed a sigh of relief in his heart - the name of this thing was "Three Pure Intestines", which made people feel that it was unusual at first sight.
But until now,
No villagers have died because of this trick.
Fortunately, the ‘Three Pure Intestines’ have not yet awakened.
Once it really wakes up, who knows what kind of disaster it will cause?
Is the Intestine of Three Purities the same level as the weird eyes, weird hair, and the old man combing his hair?
Su Wu put the thoughts in his mind to rest.
He planned to take this opportunity to conduct several simulations to see what difficulties he would encounter if he led the villagers to escape from here.
Just when he was about to call up the simulator, the phone in his pocket suddenly vibrated several times.
Su Wu casually took out his phone and saw the message on the screen.
A pop-up message on a live broadcast platform: ‘There is something strange, there is something really strange here!’ The anchor you are following - Outdoor Zhou Ge is now on the air!
He tapped his finger lightly and clicked on the pop-up message by accident.
The opening screen of the live broadcast platform flashed by.
In the dark live broadcast room, a 'loading' icon appeared.
The icon flashes for a few seconds and then disappears.
Show the real live content.
In the dim hall,
On the mottled walls, there are several black and white photos hung crookedly, mostly of old people.
A few black Song characters were written at the top: Longshan Cemetery Memorial Hall.
Longshan Cemetery?
Seeing these words, Su Wu's eyes narrowed slightly.
Immediately afterwards, the picture trembled violently for a while, and then stopped again. The chaotic and blurry picture suddenly became clear, showing Zhou Yang's face covered with bruises and fear.
His clothes are in tatters,
The upper body flesh that cannot be covered by clothes is covered with blood stains.
"Wife, wife!" There were tears in his eyes, and his eyes were full of fear. At this time, his face was facing the camera, and he called several times, and suddenly his expression changed!
"Damn it, why did he start broadcasting for me?!
I, your mother, please turn off the broadcast!
Turn off the broadcast!"
Zhou Yang kept clicking on the screen with trembling fingers, trying to cancel his wrong operation, but for some reason, he clicked several times in succession and failed to close his live broadcast room successfully.
He put down his hands with broken pots,
He shouted to the live broadcast room: "Wife, wife, if you can see my live broadcast, I will leave a video -
He picked up the mobile phone used for live broadcast and suddenly switched the camera.
There was no longer his face in the live broadcast, nor was there any photo wall behind him.
Instead, it showed the direction of the door facing the wall. More than ten figures stood there silently. They had no light behind them and could not see their faces clearly.
"They are all tricks!"
"They crawled out of graves!"
Zhou Yang's bloody arm suddenly stretched out from outside the screen, pointing with trembling fingers at the dozen figures at the door of the hall, screaming.
After Zhou Yang came to Longshan Abandoned Cemetery,
Make up your mind to leave this hellish place.
But after trying several times, he found that he could no longer leave this place.
He saw a grave covered with weeds crack open, and then a thin and short old lady in plain clothes crawled out and looked at him with a sullen face.
Zhou Yang was so frightened that he screamed and ran away.
However, in the direction of his escape, another tomb broke open.
A lame old man carrying a worn woven bag crawled out of the grave and began to cut himself off.
After that, tall young people, relatively fat young people, a mother and daughter, and others gradually crawled out of the tomb, constantly surrounding Zhou Yang!
Surrounded by these "tricks", he dashed from left to right, crawled through countless thorn bushes, and fell down many times, but he could never break through successfully!
Instead, he was forced into the cemetery memorial hall!
Zhou Yang looked at the figures at the door,
I feel like I've been scared crazy,
But he is not crazy, and still has some sense, so he has to bear the fear of these "cunning" forces pressing on him.
"Ri, Ri丨your mother..."
Zhou Yang was trembling all over,
It felt like the chill in the memorial hall was getting worse.
It surrounds myself from the body to the soul.
The dozen or so 'gui's parked at the door were still motionless at the moment.
A dark wind blew in the memorial hall,
The old photos scattered on the ground were blown everywhere and made a loud splash;
A burst of dust stirred up, obscuring more than a dozen figures at the door;
The half-old merit box in the corner was blown up by the cold wind and stood firmly three steps away from Zhou Yang.
then,
The merit box is constantly vibrating.
In the narrow gap, one after another "100 million yuan" in ghost currency notes continued to spurt out from the merit box!
