Chapter 142 134. Trial from Hades (Part 2)

Cameras in every room are faithfully recording everything.

The fluorescent light shone on Hades' helmet, and the smooth and hard helmet reflected a shallow layer of white light.

He stared silently at the giant screen in front of him. The screen was cut into countless small pieces, where humanity and animality were fighting.

Fighting had already begun in some rooms, and Hades sighed silently, silently labeling these rooms as "tentatively unapprovable."

He did not inform these people how long the second round of screening would last.

Moreover, the room that is completely isolated from the outside world does not have any facilities that can be used to keep time.

In addition, the food in each room has been accurately calculated to enable everyone to survive this screening with the lowest standards.

In the face of death that is slowly but surely approaching, is there anyone who can persevere?

Hades watched all this.

An Tai stood behind Io, holding several knives in his hands.

Blood seeped from his arm, but it was clear that he had won.

He and Io each held knives, and Ante even held a lot of food.

Opposite the two, the remaining children huddled in different corners holding more or less food.

"Guys, I have an idea."

Io said, and Antaeus noticed that his voice was trembling.

"I may have guessed the purpose of this screening."

The crowd on the opposite side made some small commotion, looking at them with distrust and doubt.

Io breathed out,

"I don't think they would set up two screens to screen for the same quality."

"If they are selecting people with toughness and good physique, then the first trial has already achieved this."

"So, this trial is not used to screen toughness and physical fitness."

Io paused for a moment, then continued,

"The difference between this one and the previous ones is that we were specially divided into groups and locked in a closed area."

"So I first started wondering if this would require us to fight each other to find a winner."

"and,"

Io raised the knife in his hand,

"These knives further corroborate my suspicions."

"but--"

Io let go, and the knife fell to the ground with a clang.

"I don't think so."

"The knife is just a cover-up, it's misleading."

An Tai blinked his eyes in confusion. He seemed to realize what Io was going to say next.

"According to the reminder from the person in charge, he did not mention any words related to fighting or competition."

"On the contrary, his first prompt was human."

"And in the second sentence, there is the vocabulary of fighting together."

"Yes, if we are going to be comrades in the future, then they won't let us fight each other now."

"So I guess the purpose of this level is to screen out subjects who can spontaneously choose to cooperate and unite in difficult situations."

Across from them, the crowd began to chatter, and some visibly began to think.

"Then you still grab knives?"

A child's sharp voice came, and An Tai realized that the person who had just snatched the knife with him at that time,

After being unable to compete with An Tai, the child gave up decisively and began to fight for food.

Io was about to retort, but Antai held his shoulders from behind. Antai took a step forward. He knew what he should say.

"I can give the knife back to you."

“Or we put the knives in a common area.”

"But I think Io he's right."

"If he wants us to fight, the person in charge doesn't need to give any hint at all."

An Tai paused for a moment, but he quickly squatted down and placed the knives in his hand on the ground again one by one.

He also placed the dry food in his hand on the ground.

An Tai knew that his mind was not very bright, but he felt that what Io said was right.

The words of the person in charge were a clue to them.

But if this were not the case, but if they were really allowed to fight each other, but if the dry food was only enough for a few people, what would he do?

But Antai decided to trust his own judgment.

"We should redistribute food."

He said,

"Everyone, please put the food back. I'll do it first."

But after Antai, no one came forward,

"That man is still holding the knife. Do you want to eat the food all by yourself?"

Io was stunned for a moment. He had not originally thought of letting An Tai do this, but he gritted his teeth and put the other knives he had on the ground.

An Tai blinked. He tried hard to become stable and reliable.

"Everyone, please put the food back in."

"I'm the one who climbed to the top of the mountain and I want everyone to believe in me for once."

When he said that sentence, An Tai's face burned. He was not used to telling his own affairs in front of everyone. It felt like a kind of showing off, and he always felt that this was weird.

No one moved at first, but after a while, a man came out, put the food back, and then turned around and left.

So some people started to move.

But there are still some who are holding on to their food and refusing to give in.

"Hey, friends!"

"Are you thirsty?"

Lena's careless words came from the corner.

At this time, the children who had been paying attention to the pile of food in the center of the room realized something was wrong.

The water source they had ignored before had long been occupied by others!

"Hurry and put the food away."

Lena pointed to the pile of grain in front of Io and Antaeus.

"Otherwise no one will be able to drink water."

Lena smiled and stared directly at those who were still holding the food.

But some people did not choose to put food. They stepped forward, seeming to compete for the positions of Lena and Pasteur.

"Don't come over."

Pasteur stood up. He lowered his head in a wrestling posture, but stared at the boy who came forward with his peripheral vision.

"Me too. I've reached the top of the mountain too."

Fortunately, most people are still afraid of people like "summit climbers" who can survive in the strong poisonous gas and reach the top. They may not be opponents of such people.

So even though the remaining people were unwilling to do so, they all put the food back.

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Io and Antaeus redistributed the food evenly.

"Thank you everyone for believing in us."

Antai said,

"I am willing to make sacrifices first and be the last to drink water. The water can be given to the important people first."

Whispers spread, but this time, the tension seemed to ease slightly.

While everyone was discussing, Io placed the knife next to the door.

Holding the same amount of food, these children began to communicate and discuss with each other, but the most discussed topic was how to pass this level.

"This group is good."

Mortarion's voice came from behind, and they were both looking at the children together.

"really."

To Hades's surprise, although many rooms immediately started fighting, some of them grabbed the food and dispersed.

But a significant proportion of children chose to be reassigned.

Someone occupied a water source that was ignored by most people in advance, and then used the water source to force everyone to redistribute food.

Someone grabbed the knives in advance and then used the threat of force to force people to redistribute them.

Of course, more people use water sources and knives to coerce others to hand over food to them.

Only those who perhaps understood Hades's prompts would choose to redistribute resources.

The settings of water sources and knives are essentially set up so that a few can seize the right to speak.

First of all, those children must be smart enough to understand Hades's prompts, and then they must be strong enough to grab at least one resource that is beneficial to them.

In contrast, although it is also critical, the importance of food is completely inferior to water and knives.

But there are some exceptions. In one room, a child knocked everyone unconscious and then gave them equal amounts of food again.

In another room, a child took nothing. He gave a speech and then let everyone start redistributing spontaneously.

In short, any method can be used, but many candidates did stand up and call on people not to compete.

And the group that Mortarion just mentioned.

Hades took a look, formed a team in advance at the beginning, and then split up to occupy two key resources, and then used his own identity to complete the management.

Very good, really good, it can be regarded as the optimal solution.

Hades mentally noted the names and information of the four children.

"But the key lies behind."

Hades spoke,

The early performance was good because resources were still abundant and the desire to survive had not yet been stimulated.

But if Hades enters the later stage and stares at the rooms that have been reassigned,

Can you still hold on to yourself?
