Lost Narrative Poetry

Xia Ran's words did not have much effect, probably because his eloquence and incitement were not enough to fight against the cruel reality.

This is not a game. It doesn’t mean that as long as you circle the mouse and click on the target, all the selected units will rush forward to fight with the enemy. They will not be afraid of death, know no fear, and will never take half a step back...

Therefore, everyone just smiled reluctantly, but did not agree with Xia Ran's words.

So many things really happened in these two days, all crowded together. This makes them physically and mentally exhausted, making it difficult for them to accept it completely and unconditionally immediately. If they want to get back on their feet, they probably have to figure it out and regain their willpower.

——Other than that, nothing else works.

Illusion magic such as Courage is useless, because after thinking about it for a while, Xia Ran felt that it didn't make much sense to briefly inspire courage. The problem this group of people are facing now is the depression of willpower itself.

Willpower is different from emotions. It is something more fundamental than a general mental state. Strictly speaking, even if it can really crush the enemy's spirit and modify the target's memory, it may not be able to Interference into the realm of willpower.

Xia Ran can only briefly inspire the courage of others at critical moments, but it is impossible to fundamentally strengthen a person's will. In theory, this should be a person's own determination and awakening, and it is impossible for others to do it for him.

Therefore, he gave up the plan of using illusion magic, and just comforted a few people with kind words, asking them to take a rest and think carefully before talking, and there was no need to rush.

It is now close to three o'clock in the afternoon. Although the evening has not yet arrived and there is still a long time before nightfall, this group of people has been busy for most of the day from morning to now——

Just pushing the cars that had collided or been abandoned to block roads and block the entrances and exits of buildings took up a lot of their energy.

So there is no need to rush them to clear monsters and clear the map now. Besides, in their current state, they will probably be killed if they go there.

And because he hadn't seen another group of people, Xia Ran originally thought that they had all escaped. However, after asking, he discovered that the group of people had not escaped, but were running up and down a department store in Nuo Da. Work hard to clean up the body.

From morning to now, the group of people have basically not stopped except for taking a break for lunch.

Probably because he wants to show his hard work and diligence, show his value, and prove that he is not just a freeloader... because what people fear most is not being able to find their own value and positioning, especially in such a collapsed world. world--

If it has no value, it is basically the same as being sentenced to death. No one has the obligation to let waste eat and wait to die.

And just as Gaocheng Saya was able to analyze that the dead zombies inside this large department store were specially cleaned up by Xia Ran, and it was very likely that they were intended to be used as a stronghold, she was not the only smart person.

The same goes for other people. After discovering that this place has temporarily become the safest area in the City of the Living Dead, which is rich in supplies and at the same time, they are unwilling to leave here and face the dangerous world outside. .

This is the reason why they did not take the opportunity to escape, but chose to stay.

Some people began to think calmly after the fear, and some people ran out and quickly came back in embarrassment, bringing back a bunch of dead zombies... Anyway, they either actively recognized the current situation, or were forced to recognize the current situation.

——If they stay to face the monster, they may indeed be in danger, but if they run out and prepare to survive alone in the apocalypse, they will definitely die miserably.

After realizing such a cruel situation, they had no choice but to stay honestly, and tried self-hypnosis, self-persuasion, and looked for various evidences to prove that staying was the wisest choice. The monster was actually not dangerous...

Etc., etc.

Don't blame them, after all, it is difficult for people to live in a fearful environment. If there is really no choice, then self-hypnosis is a very necessary thing.

Moreover, there is a lot of evidence, it is very sufficient, and it is not difficult to find at all——

For example, Xia Ran did not take the initiative to attack others. The group of thugs who died earlier were the ones who did not care about life and death and were the first to attack.

After that, he didn't kill everyone indiscriminately, although the method was really nerve-wracking, and the math class he taught by words and deeds seemed both violent and neurotic...

Well, that's right, as long as you don't take the initiative, there won't be a problem.

And having such a terrifying, powerful and reasonable character in charge might actually be a good thing.

Even if they are inhuman, even if they are aliens, they are at least much better than the previous group of thugs, right? Comparing the two, I don’t even know which one is the real monster——

One side is a so-called alien who will not take the initiative to harm innocent people...The other side is a person who bullies the weak but thinks he is great and does all kinds of evil...

In such a comparison, it seems that the former is really more suitable for the thighs.

In this case, they naturally had to perform well. Anyway, after inspection, they could confirm that the interior of the department store had been thoroughly cleaned by Xia Ran. Although it looked bloody and terrifying, there were stains all over the floor. It's flesh and blood flying everywhere, broken limbs and broken arms.

This group of people found it particularly difficult to accept. Their faces turned blue and black, their stomachs twitched, and they were unimaginably nauseated. It is estimated that it will leave a serious psychological shadow in the future... But even so, they still forced themselves to do it. this matter.

Especially that group of students, they even worked for a while, then ran to the toilet to vomit until bile almost came out, then came out with pale faces and went to those bloody slaughtering scenes or eating scenes, continued to process the corpses, and ran away again after a while bathroom……

Repeat this process over and over until you can no longer vomit anything and you have completely adapted to the habit.

There was no other reason, it was simply because disposing of the corpse was the first clear and clear instruction given by Xia Ran, and it was also the best opportunity for them to express themselves. And those are real corpses after all. They will not get up and tear off the arms of living people, open their bloody mouths and eat the flesh and blood of living people...

——This is much, much better.

After all, it wasn’t like no one couldn’t stand it and chose to run out to join the protagonist’s team to deal with the corpses wandering the streets outside. However, they still retreated in defeat.

Not everyone can switch identities as a matter of course and immediately become a warrior. When they see those fantasy images that have been active from the black and white movie era to today appear in reality, and lunge at them with their teeth and claws bared, roaring -

Not to mention seizing the short opportunity to fight back hard and blowing their heads off with one blow.

Most people will simply forget even the choice of dodge or escape when they are scared. They are so scared that their brains go blank, and they only know that their bodies are frozen in place, unable to move.

Not to mention taking the initiative to fight against the dead zombies, even if they were asked to push the cart, they couldn't push it, because when they saw the zombies coming due to the movement, and other people had no time to clean them up, even if they were still half a street away , at its speed it would take at least a minute or two to touch it.

As long as they insist on pushing the vehicle forward, they will basically not be overtaken. The old cow pulls the vehicle in front, and the old woman crosses the road behind. No matter how slow the former is, it cannot be easily overtaken by the latter.

However, they do not have that kind of psychological quality, and they will immediately run away like frightened rabbits...

This kind of work efficiency is simply to add chaos. In the end, it is natural to blame them for choosing to come back to work that is tiring, painful, and disgusting, but at least there is no danger - as long as they are not stupid enough to actively allow external wounds to come into contact with zombie body fluids .

Xia Ran was very satisfied with this, because it at least showed that the prototype of a team had emerged.

They don't need to force themselves, they will subconsciously do the work they can do to prove their own value.

So he walked around the mall to encourage the group of people in person and praise their work.

The effect was also immediate. Although these people were sick and tired, they just forced themselves to do this kind of work under some inexplicable fear and pressure. But after Xia Ran showed a satisfied smile and said some words of encouragement to them personally, they seemed to have been given a shot of blood.

After all, their goal from the beginning was to satisfy this monster in human skin!

Now that the goal has been achieved, why can't it be very exciting? This shows that their thinking direction is correct!

Lower your posture, work hard, flatter yourself, and prove your worth...

…

…

"The material search team...the logistics department...just build the team around these two cores for the first time."

On the top floor of the department store, I found a clean and spacious lounge--it was actually full of dust. The so-called clean meant that there was no corpse blood.

Xia Ran found a pen and paper, and while she still remembered, she quickly wrote down the results of her previous trip.

"If you have courage and guts, and can fight, join the search team. If you are really not good at fighting, just manage logistics..."

Although Xiao Zuo has memorized the map of the entire bed master city, it can only be used as a reference. Many details are no longer correct, and the current situation has to be explored in person before he can know a certain road or a certain area. how's it going.

Was it burned down by fire, exploded, or was it all robbed in yesterday's turmoil.

When Xia Ran was slaying monsters, he investigated and marked all the resource points that he thought were important. He planned to lead a large force to slowly start clearing the map according to the planned route.

After the pen tip drew the last period, he couldn't help but yawned again, and the tired look on his face became more obvious.

However, after he put down his pen, he did not choose to meditate quietly to continue to temper his mental power, but went directly to sleep. Because his mental attribute value has reached 39 points, and it will be 40 points further.

Whether it's added points or the growth reflected by his own training, it's the same... He doesn't want the price of redeeming free attribute points to rise again. The current small goal is enough.
