Doomsday courtyard begins to survive by planting pea shooters
Chapter 113 The weight of authority
N7183, Fortress Town.
Zhang Weidong squatted on his chair with one foot, the other foot crossed on his knee, holding a long-empty cup of tea in his left hand, and twisting his beard with his right hand.
In front of him, there was a circle of people, either senior executives of N7183 or technical personnel.
Everyone was accustomed to Zhang Weidong's performance art, but Zhang Jinyu, who was standing at the end, frowned. She wanted to remind him several times but chose to shut up in the end.
"Jinyu, do you have something to say?" Zhang Weidong saw his granddaughter's expression and thought she had some ideas.
"...No." Zhang Jinyu lowered her head, stopped talking, and dared not show any expression.
After all, everyone standing in this room was either her predecessor or her leader. It was not excessive to play with her grandfather in private, but she had to be restrained in such formal occasions.
"He said that believers are His eyes... So, did you pray? Did He look here?"
Zhang Weidong didn't want to let her go so easily, but asked.
"I prayed... but nothing." Zhang Jinyu said gloomily.
"Why? Didn't you successfully open the faith channel? Why can't you recover until now?" Zhang Wendong asked with some reproach.
"I don't know... After that time, there was no response." Zhang Jinyu sighed.
"Is it because you didn't wear... cough cough cough, okay, okay, just ignore me. Anyway, it doesn't matter."
Zhang Weidong scratched his bald head and turned his eyes to others: "What about you? What do you think of this 'god'?"
"Mr. Zhang, forgive me for being blunt, is this... really worth our big bet? Is it stronger than you?" A warrior wearing armor asked.
"Me? Haha, you think too highly of me." Zhang Weidong shook his head, "I'm just standing on the threshold of becoming a god, and that... the power he holds, I don't understand at all."
"... In fact, we don't necessarily need to seek help from the outside gods. As long as we carry out that plan, you can cross that threshold and become the god of our human beings."
A man in a white coat with glasses said seriously.
Zhang Weidong was silent for a long time, and finally shook his head: "I... can't bear it."
"Why? Even in the South Five Barriers, you can definitely rank among the top ten strong men! As long as you can become a god, then..."
"I said, I can't bear it." Zhang Weidong said very seriously, "Becoming a god is not as simple as you think... When people hold power, they are also under the influence of power. This is a two-way process."
"Even if you are willing to sacrifice yourself and let me get that power... But after that, I will not be myself."
"The drive of power, the expansion of desire, and the temptation of power... At that time, will I really still be the "god" of the human side?"
"Maybe I will devour all the fragments of humanity..."
Zhang Weidong put down the empty teacup and looked at the complex map on the wall.
For Zhang Weidong, who stood on the edge of "becoming a god", he knew very well how powerful the temptation was. Anyone who crossed that line would never be able to turn back.
After all, it was a road that gathered all kinds of great power in itself... and this road was destined to be an enemy of everyone.
"I am a mortal after all... not a saint."
"I can't bear this kind of test."
Zhang Weidong jumped down from the chair and walked to the window with his hands behind his back.
"...But at least we believe in you." said the soldier in armor.
"But the problem is that I don't believe in myself." Zhang Weidong waved his hand.
"...That's better than believing in that outsider, right?" The man in the white coat with glasses couldn't convince himself to leave his fate to others.
"But the problem is that we have no choice." Zhang Weidong still didn't turn around, looking at the sky in the distance, leaving everyone with a bleak back.
"I can feel that the evil god outside the South Five Walls is getting stronger and stronger...It may be only one step away from becoming a real god."
"Time is running out, comrades, time is running out!"
"At this time, it's good to introduce any variables... Haven't we discussed it before?"
"Besides..."
Zhang Weidong recalled his feelings when he confronted Da Huang before.
Although he instinctively felt that it was very dangerous, he did not feel any pressure, but instead had the illusion of being bathed in spring breeze...
It was as if he was not facing a powerful god, but a kind old man. At the same time, the other party's words were aggressive, not giving him a chance to breathe, like a sharp young man...
"...Anyway, let's ask that person's eyes to come over first, after all, our own eyes are not working well, right?"
Zhang Weidong said.
Zhang Jinyu: "..."
...
On the other hand, Xiao Jian's courtyard.
Across the sea, endless crabs never stopped.
Xiao Jian and Da Huang have taken turns for several rounds, but these cheap cannon fodder attacks still show no signs of stopping.
In addition, the swordfish that rushed out of the fog from time to time would always cause more or less damage to the dam.
When such damage accumulated too much, Xiao Jian had to consume blank resource cards and sunlight points for repairs.
During this period, Xiao Jian also sent out murlocs to search the surroundings. However, this time he didn't know if he had learned the lesson. No matter in the sky or at the bottom of the sea, Xiao Jian found nothing.
Even though Rhubarb made several raids in the direction of the crabs, he still found nothing.
It seemed that after the last time, the guy who was hiding in the dark and constantly harassing him had learned the lesson. He took full advantage of Xiao Jian's weakness of insufficient detection distance and kept pulling against him at the extreme distance.
"..."
Xiao Jian, who owns the Skull Icon, knows very well that this kind of attack will be endless, and the cost of the attack is so low that it only needs to consume the surrounding fog.
Perhaps, when the surrounding fog is almost exhausted, Xiao Jian can find the real culprit.
And that will take a very, very long time...
"Meow meow meow?"
Suddenly, Dahuang, who had just gone to rest, ran over with a monocle in his mouth.
"What's wrong?" Xiao Jian lowered his head and touched the cat's head.
"Meow!"
Dahuang put his front paws on him, and then Xiao Jian heard waves of faint prayers.
"Great Cat God, your most devout believer Lucia begs for your attention..."
The prayer was repeated over and over again. Xiao Jian could only sigh when he saw Dahuang's eager look, took the monocle and switched defenses with it.
Put on the monocle and select Lucia, the disciple of Rhubarb, as the target, and then the picture from N7183 will appear on the monocle.
