Mystery Makes Me Strong

Zhang Meng thought back to what he had just said.

Obviously, there were two gods.

One was a bored god who wanted to watch the fun, and the other was a traditional god in people's minds.

He sat by the bonfire in the backyard of the church, where some frozen meat was being roasted.

The flames danced on his face, and others were roasting meat silently.

Since the appearance of the tall white man, the atmosphere in the church has changed.

People are wary of each other, worried that they will be captured by the other party.

Obviously, they also realized that those people have malicious intentions.

After all, in this kind of doomsday background, all kinds of evil god believers are too common.

There were quite a few before, but they were managed by someone and did not cause much trouble.

Now there are many evil god believers who are causing trouble.

Soon, the next crisis appeared again.

This time it was a group of wild boar monsters, they could dig holes, which suddenly increased the difficulty.

For the first time, someone died in the church.

He was recovering from his injuries in the rear, but was killed by a wild boar that appeared in the cave.

After the war, Zhang Meng was full of contradictions and struggles.

This end of the world is really cruel.

He kept asking himself whether he should give up his humanity, dignity, kindness, and do whatever it takes to survive, just like in those novels.

He recalled the dead survivors.

Their eyes were full of fear and despair.

Zhang Meng took a deep breath, he wanted to live.

But he couldn't completely give up everything about being a human being.

His eyes flashed with determination.

He made a decision.

Even if he had to use people, he had to use the bad ones.

What, you said there were no bad people?

How is that possible? Don't forget that before he awakened, several people laughed at him.

Then someone in the church camp awakened with the help of Li Cang.

At the same time, everyone also strengthened their training.

It's just that as time went on, the danger became greater and greater.

Obviously, the end of the world is a game for the gods, but it is torture for them.

The fragile balance like before no longer exists.

Every time a crisis is overcome, people always die.

This made the tension in the camp more and more intense.

Under increasing pressure, some people quietly betrayed Li Cang.

They chose to join another group of survivors.

They hope to find safety and shelter there.

Zhang Meng stood in front of them, with a trace of sadness and pity in his eyes.

"Do you really think that giving up everything can bring safety?" he asked.

They did not answer, and there was only escape in their eyes.

In fact, they knew that they were just lingering on by doing this.

In fact, it was equivalent to taking someone else's life in exchange for one more week or month.

Zhang Meng shook his head.

He knew that he could not convince them.

If the church camp was strong enough, they would naturally choose to stay and stick to their posts.

These people are already very tired.

In order to survive, they have to put away their dignity and work more than 12 hours a day.

This is very hard.

And the difficulty did not decrease because of the lack of these few people, on the contrary, it became more and more difficult.

Until the awakened died like the others.

People finally collapsed.

More and more people left, and in the end, only Li Cang and Zhang Meng were left in such a large church.

Li Cang stood beside Zhang Meng.

There was a sneer in his eyes.

"Those are a bunch of fools, Zhang Meng," he said, "Let's go together."

Just like that, a well-preserved church camp parted ways.

Zhang Meng was a little disappointed.

He really thought this was the church camp in the game, and thought he could survive until the end of the game.

Who knew that it was over in just over half a year.

Of course, if everyone wanted to persist, they could actually persist for more than half a year.

That's just one or two years.

He and Li Cang left the camp.

From now on, they no longer have a fixed camp, they have become homeless, they are homeless.

The advantage is that there are monsters, they just have to run all the way.

There is no need to stick to one place, those monsters often chase them after a foggy area and stop chasing them.

They decided to strengthen themselves and gain stronger power, so the two chose to explore all the way to the depths of the fog.

In the fog, Zhang Meng and Li Cang walked forward cautiously.

Their eyes were alert, and their hands were tightly holding weapons.

The fog was full of unknown dangers, but they did not retreat.

This day, during the exploration.

Zhang Meng suddenly stopped.

He turned to look at Li Cang.

"Li Cang," he said, "why don't you do that?"

"You can also sacrifice one or two people to reduce the difficulty, so that the camp can be maintained."

There was a trace of pain and hesitation in Li Cang's eyes.

"Although I calculated others," he said, "I still think I am a good person. I can't do things like sending living people directly to the god of death."

Zhang Meng nodded, with a trace of respect in his eyes.

He now knew that Li Cang was a partner worthy of trust.

Li Cang's eyes moved.

What a fool, he can believe this.

How did this guy survive until the end of the world?

Then, their exploration was fruitful.

On this day, they found a strange object deep in the fog.

This is a mysterious crystal emitting a faint light, and its power seems to be able to penetrate the fog and guide them.

"There is something wrong with this thing!" Li Cang was a little surprised.

"Yes, I feel that they are the source of the monsters. It is like the core of the fog. Should we break it and see?" Zhang Meng said.

So the two began to prepare to destroy the fog core.

The two knew that there might be powerful monsters hiding around the fog core.

They must be fully prepared.

Li Cang took out some homemade explosives from his backpack.

There was a hint of madness in his eyes.

"These explosives are enough for us to break the defense of the fog core." Li Cang's voice was very low.

Zhang Meng nodded, with a hint of tension in his eyes. "We must hit it with one shot and not give the monsters any chance to fight back."

Sure enough, after the two observed for a while, they saw a group of green-skinned monsters coming out of the crystal, just like goblins.

After coming out, they patrolled around.

Their eyes flashed red light, and their bodies exuded a strong breath.

Obviously, this group of goblins is the same type of monster as the one that attacked their church camp.

Zhang Meng and Li Cang hid behind a fence, blocked by bushes.

Their eyes were fixed on the actions of the goblins.

They had to wait for an opportunity, an opportunity that would allow them to get close to the core of the fog.

When day came, the goblins went to rest directly.

Zhang Meng and Li Cang acted quickly.

Zhang Meng fired decisively, making a dull sound, and each bullet accurately hit the goblin's vitals.

Li Cang waved his greatsword, and every swing could cut off a goblin's body.

The goblins roared angrily, and they began to rush towards the two of them, wanting to eat them.

Zhang Meng and Li Cang stood back to back.

There was no fear in their eyes.

They could feel that these goblins were not strong.

They should become strong after staying in the fog for a while.

Zhang Meng suddenly realized that they should not defend passively.

They should take the initiative to go deep into the fog and clear these monsters.

Otherwise, the battle that was originally easy to difficult would be dragged into a life-and-death battle.

And now, they can't retreat even more.

Li Cang finally found an opportunity and tied the explosives to the crystal of the mist core.

There was a hint of confidence in his eyes.

"Zhang Meng, prepare to retreat!" he shouted.

Zhang Meng nodded, with a hint of tension in his eyes.

"Ready!" he replied.

Li Cang lit the fuse of the explosives and quickly retreated with Zhang Meng.

The goblins forgot to protect the crystal and began to chase them frantically.

But the explosion of the explosives interrupted their pursuit.

With a loud bang, the crystal of the mist core was blown into pieces.

Dust flew everywhere.

The goblins slowly disappeared.

Zhang Meng and Li Cang stuck to the ground tightly, their eyes full of tension.

When the dust settled, they stood up and saw the destroyed mist core.

As the core shattered, suddenly a door shrouded in mist appeared in front of them.

Behind the door is an unknown world, full of unknown dangers and possible opportunities.

"Do we really want to go in?" Zhang Meng's voice was hesitant.

Li Cang thought about it and nodded.

"We must go in. This is our only chance."

"But we'd better find some warriors."

Zhang Meng did not object.

Then the two began to pretend to be ordinary kind people to go fishing.

This time they caught some warriors.

They were a few big guys.

Then they were thrown into the fog gate.

After the test, there was no big crisis, at least they would not be killed at the first sight.

The big guys ran back again.

They passed through the fog gate and entered a new world.

Here, they met a few injured survivors.

These survivors told them that they were here to clear the monsters. Only in this way could their camp be stable for a while.

The real monsters were hiding on this side of the fog gate.

"So that's it." Zhang Meng suddenly realized.

This is the way to pass the level.

Passive defense alone is not enough.

So they said goodbye to the group of survivors and prepared to go deep to clear the monsters.

But at this moment, Li Cang made a decision that shocked Zhang Meng.

He returned to the other side and captured a few more ordinary people, letting them walk in front as cannon fodder.

"Li Cang, what are you doing? Now is different from before. We don't need others to be cannon fodder." Zhang Meng's voice was filled with anger.

Li Cang's eyes were cold.

"It's still the same. We all have to face the unknown; Zhang Meng, we must survive, and sometimes we need to make some difficult choices."

Zhang Meng's heart was full of contradictions, and he began to doubt Li Cang's motives.

He realized that the reason why Li Cang did not make sacrifices was not because he was kind, but because he understood the truth about the gods.

Li Cang seemed to see the change in Zhang Meng's attitude.

He explained to Zhang Meng the classification of gods.

"You know some knowledge about gods, but not much."

"In fact, in my opinion, gods are divided into two categories: neutral order and chaotic evil."

"Neutral gods act according to their own reason, while chaotic evil gods are moody and may harm humans at any time."

"I am looking for neutral gods. They are the key to our survival." Li Cang's voice was powerful.

Zhang Meng understood in his heart.

At the same time, he thought of what he had heard before.

Obviously, there are two types of gods.

If Xiao Huan and Zhao Han heard such a misunderstanding, they would definitely feel speechless.

They are not gods at all, but just a group of players.

Zhang Meng knew that they had no way back.

They must move forward and find hope for survival.

They soon found a nest, which was a nest that bred monsters.

And they also found more mysteries.

There are souls of living people in the nest.

It turns out that after they kill people, they will take away their souls and use their memories and knowledge to construct more monsters...

The two disposed of this nest.

They decided to leave.

Because they want to rebuild the camp.

It is impossible for them to continue on their own.

Then they returned to the safe zone, returned to the church camp again, reorganized, and recruited new people.

They found and rescued all the survivors they met before.

A week later, they heard about the situation in another camp.

The survivors who made sacrifices did not end well. All of them died. Their sacrifices brought disastrous consequences.

They summoned a hand, and the hand looked very irritable.

They slapped them all to death with a slap.

Zhang Meng knew as soon as he heard it that it was a true manifestation of waking up in a bad mood.

The question is, how do people know that the gods are sleeping?

They nag from morning to night, pray from morning to night, and even 24 hours a day.

If the gods hear it, how can they not be irritated?

Zhang Meng's heart is full of heaviness.

They know that his choice may be correct.

The price of the mistake is too heavy.

The tall white man was very confident before.

But now he has become a confident meat sauce.

"We can't follow their old path, Zhang Meng." There was a hint of firmness in Li Cang's voice.

Zhang Meng nodded, and his eyes flashed with determination.

"We need gods, but we should find gods with order."

Then they continued to explore the mystery of the fog gate.

"Where did these monsters come from? Why is there such a state?" Zhang Meng's voice was full of doubt.

Li Cang guessed: "They are artificially created, and the fog is a transitional period. They adapt to the laws of our world through this door and the fog area."

Zhang Meng nodded, with a hint of determination in his eyes.

"Then, as long as we explore these monsters, we can find the gods behind them." He said.

After repeated exploration and research.

Finally, it was determined that these monsters would become stronger and stronger because they were indeed measuring the strength of the nearby camps.

The stronger the nearby camps, the longer they stayed in the fog and made themselves stronger.

Their behavior was more like acting for a certain god.

However, how to contact this god and how to confirm the other party's position became a new problem.
