With a buzz, Cui Zhanjiang's head seemed to have been hit by a heavy hammer, and large snowflakes appeared in front of his eyes.
He stumbled, almost losing his balance and falling to the ground.
It was better for the person who just spoke to step forward to support him, so as not to look ugly in front of so many eyes.
"What's going on?"
"Could it be that Long Qingjun reported on me just to curry favor with you?"
Cui Zhanjiang was breathing heavily, his eyes were red, like a beast that was cornered.
It was not his idea to tangle with a group of thorns to beat and test Soma.
In fact, except for those who were alone, all the people in the territory with more than three people participated in the 'beating meeting'.
The only difference is that after hearing about the plan, some people chose to support it and discussed and supplemented the plan.
Some people did not express their opinions, expressing neither support nor opposition.
As soon as some people heard that such extreme methods were being used to test, they immediately chose to quit and said that if they wanted to die, don't drag them with them. If they got tired of living, they could find a stone to hit them to death.
Long Qingjun from the Black Island Alliance is one of them.
In the fourth stage, when they encountered a foreigner selling water, the two groups had a quarrel over the share.
Therefore, Cui Zhanjiang naturally became suspicious of this meeting. It was most likely that Long Qingjiang reported it to Su Mo, which led to the current blockade of the Changgong territory.
"I don't know, we were still resting in the camp, and suddenly the game moved us to the entrance of the camp."
"Let's go back. Since he doesn't want us to live, then everyone should stop living!"
After getting through the initial frightened period, Cui Zhanjiang calmed down immediately after he came to his senses.
His eyes scanned the surrounding group of people watching the fun, and then saw a few familiar faces peeking at them from a distance.
He deliberately raised his voice and pretended to walk towards the camp.
The territory where the 'beating plan' was discussed was not theirs, the Green River territory. There were at least a dozen participants in the camp, so why should one of them die?
If we want to die, let's die together; if we want to live, let's live together.
Want to watch the fun?
Immediately, the expressions of the few people watching outside changed drastically, and they quickly lowered their heads and whispered to the people next to them.
Before Cui Zhanjiang approached the oasis, more than ten people hurriedly came and surrounded him.
"I said, Lao Cui, why are you so angry? Come on, let's go over there and have a rest."
A tall and thin man walked out of the crowd, with an extremely embarrassed smile on his face.
The Lujiang Territory alone suffered such a heavy blow that no one expected.
In the previous plan, everyone had planned to work together when something happened, and then pull in a group of independent people.
Hundreds of people gathered together, and even if Sumo really wanted to take countermeasures, he would have to carefully consider the pros and cons.
But now, only the Green River territory is punished.
This is troublesome.
"Wei Zhongjing, don't be hypocritical. If your Metasequoia Territory is hung at the entrance of the camp and you are punished like a spy, change the reporting rules.
I don’t know if you can still smile as happily as you do now.”
Cui Zhanjiang frowned coldly, and his steps not only did not slow down, but actually moved a little faster.
From the looks of it, he obviously planned to drag everyone present down with him.
Is this guy out of his mind?
"No, Zhan Jiang, I think it's better to end this matter now. It won't be good for everyone if it continues."
"Even if you give Brother Shentu some face, can this matter be done?"
"This time, the Lujiang Territory is carrying it for us. When we get out, we will remember your kindness and talk to you if you have anything to say."
Several more people stepped forward and blocked Cui Zhanjiang.
They are from Long Island.
It is one of the few large-scale gathering places operating in the deep sea with tens of millions of people.
Although the people of Long Island were scattered into several territories after landing, they would still naturally unite together when encountering trouble.
And even if it is dispersed, the size and strength of its individual territories far exceed that of Lujiang Territory.
Dare you not give Longdao face?
Cui Zhanjiang's expression changed. After all, he didn't dare to act recklessly. He could only snort coldly:
"We at Lujiang don't want anything else. As long as Sumo takes back this punishment, I am willing to admit his mistake."
"Even if I kneel down and admit my mistake in front of all the people, that's no problem."
Kneel down and admit your mistake?
The faces of the people on Long Island changed, and the smiles that were still on their faces just now disappeared.
Especially the man named "Shen Tu" at the front of the queue, his face suddenly turned cold.
"Old Cui, why don't you think carefully about what you just said?"
Cui Zhanjiang's face was as dark as water. How could he be so good-natured that he was willing to be threatened? Otherwise, he would not have participated in this beating meeting.
He frowned and immediately retorted:
"Since Sumo wants to use my Lujiang territory to establish his authority, then I will give him this opportunity. Isn't this what he wants to do? I am willing to kneel down to admit his mistake and kowtow to him to apologize.
Billions of people above can clearly see how great the contribution of the human being Su Shen is. What’s wrong with ordinary people like us kowtowing to him and being exploited by him?”
It was almost a face-breaking mockery.
After the words fell, everyone in the scene no longer maintained their previous kindness, and the scene became cold.
Now that we have reached this point, we actually want to use this counter-force method to make a comeback.
It has to be said that Cui Zhanjiang has broken the pot.
However, if he were really allowed to do this, everyone present would probably have their names hung at the gate of the camp.
I saw Sumo's ruthless and decisive methods, and saw the tragic end after being banned.
Shentu paused, then forced himself to hold back his anger and said, "Cui Zhanjiang, have you really thought about the consequences?"
Long Dao was furious.
Although the Lujiang Territory will not be disbanded due to exclusion and suppression, he, the deputy lord who was promoted by the territory because he got a spot in the main competition, will definitely not be able to retain him. There is a high probability that he will be handed over as an apology and left to die.
Cui Zhanjiang knew the consequences, but in the blink of an eye he thought that the outcome would not be much different if this situation were solved.
Offend Somo, offend Longdao.
The former is obviously more serious and he is not afraid of it, so why should he be afraid of the latter.
"You threaten me? To be honest, I can't survive today, so everyone should stop living."
Seeing that Cui Zhanjiang seemed to have made up his mind, it was Shentu's turn to remain silent again.
The scene was a bit awkward. A group of people wanted to stop him, but they didn't know how to stop him.
Threats don’t work, promises of huge profits?
Cui Zhanjiang is such a ghost, there is a high probability that he will not believe it because of some meaningless pictures.
Do you have to support him? A group of people went to plead for mercy and let Somo retract his decision.
Putting aside the issue of humiliation or not, what if Somo would get rid of them all in anger?
Even if we don't make it to the finals, there are still seven terrains left.
This opportunity for the main race is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and they never want it to end like this until the end.
"Get out of the way, otherwise I will think you are attacking me."
After referring to the rules of the game, Cui Zhanjiang's tone became a little more serious.
As he moves forward, the surrounding circle can only be forced forward, always surrounding him inside.
Too difficult to deal with.
There is really no fuel-efficient way to stand out among billions of players and enter the main competition.
Shentu sighed helplessly, and after communicating with the people next to him, he coughed lightly and put on a smile again.
It seems that there is no way to survive without bleeding. This Cui Zhanjiang has clearly shown that he will not let go of the eagle when he sees the rabbit.
There is no other way. For this opportunity in the main competition, we can only pay some benefits to the outside world.
But at this moment, several more people suddenly walked out of the oasis.
Hey, why is that palace full of courtyards?
Seeing Gong Manting and the Gu family brothers, everyone's footsteps froze, and they felt like they were being caught.
It really seems that there is a leak in the house, but it rains all night, which will cause trouble.
"Hey, Brother Shentu, are you having a meeting here?" Gong Manting stepped forward pretending not to know, and asked curiously.
What was exchanged was a burst of embarrassing laughter, and even Cui Zhanjiang, who kept saying that he wanted to die together, forced a smile at this time.
However, before he could adjust his smile to a more natural one, Gong Manting's face suddenly darkened.
"Lord Su just personally ordered the ban. Don't you know? Why are you still hanging out with the people from Lujiang? Is it possible that you don't want to enter the camp anymore?"
The barrage of questions made Cui Zhanjiang's face turn red with embarrassment.
Fearing that this guy would have an attack, Shentu quickly stepped forward to answer the conversation and apologized: "Brother Gong, you also know about this matter."
"What's past is past. Lord Su has no intention of pursuing the specific reasons behind this."
Shentu didn't say a few words before he was ruthlessly interrupted by Gong Manting.
Everyone secretly thought something was wrong, but after hearing a few words, their eyes suddenly brightened.
"Brother Gong...this..."
Shentu smiled awkwardly and took advantage of the situation to pull Gong Manting aside.
The Gu brothers were also favored and were taken to one side by several people to greet them with kind words.
"We are not authentic in this matter"
When asking for help, Shen Tu acted in a very good way and immediately transferred 300 points to Gong Manting.
The latter did not refuse and accepted the points with a smile.
I was so happy.
Why would these people bother? How comfortable would it be to be Su Shen's dog?
There is status, points, and a bright future.
Against?
"This time he is willing to give some people a chance. Whether they can seize it or not depends on their performance."
"The treatment of the Lujiang Territory is an opportunity for you to make meritorious deeds, you understand?"
The words were full of criticism, but Shentu's eyes were extremely bright, and he nodded quickly: "Understood, we understand it so well!"
"That's good, sell the quota to Lujiang"
"Don't worry, this quota is so popular right now. They don't want it, but there are plenty of people who want it."
"Then I'm really relieved!" Gong Manting agreed and chatted a few more words.
After Shentu felt completely at ease, he left with the Gu brothers and headed to the canyon to arrange for the upcoming 'bandwidth' service.
Compared to those individuals who are attacking the Green River territory, it is obvious that the bandpass service is more valued by Sumo.
Gong Manting knew clearly what was light and what was serious, and naturally he did not dare to take it lightly.
After he left, the circle that had been surrounding him suddenly dispersed, leaving only Cui Zhanjiang with a look of astonishment on his face.
"Oh, wait. What are you doing?"
"Shentu, brother Shentu"
"Get lost, you stinky dog." Shentu turned his head, with impatience written all over his face: "Don't touch me, you want to be kicked out of the game now, right?"
"Go away, you can report it however you want."
"You're threatening me, right? I'll give this old boy a good look after the main game."
"Lujiang Territory, Cui Zhanjiang, I remember it."
"Let's go back and eat. I'll treat you to this meal."
Seeing that no one is paying attention to me anymore, I am afraid that I will get into any unnecessary trouble.
Cui Zhanjiang froze on the spot and didn't move for half an hour, as if he didn't know why it had reached this stage.
It was clear that they planned this beating together, why did they punish the Lujiang Territory?
Obviously this beating did not bring any trouble to Sumo, so why use such severe blocking measures?
Obviously
"Obviously you can choose to be obedient and cooperative. It is good for everyone, but you have to jump out and commit suicide!"
A few casual people passed by, and the slightly regretful voices in their mouths shocked Cui Zhanjiang back to his senses.
Cooperation benefits both parties.
But why did he give up cooperation?
The night is vast and filled with fireworks.
The campground in the oasis was particularly lively tonight, especially after the band-pass service was officially launched in the evening, the discussion almost never stopped.
In addition, there will be an announcement in the afternoon that the Green River Territory will be punished.
Carrot plus stick, the effect is surprisingly good.
"We have already blocked the first batch of people, and the effect is very good. The game does not interfere with this behavior."
“We received a total of 76,000 points, which is more than what we earn from selling supplies!”
Qi Jie came to the warehouse excitedly, and the excitement of receiving the huge sum of money dissipated some of the unhappiness he felt in the afternoon.
"Hey, why are there 8,000 extra points?"
Sumo was sitting at the work table, studying and polishing the prototype of the second vehicle. Hearing this, he couldn't help but raise his head and ask curiously.
"I guess they were frightened, and those territories that won the quota took the initiative to add 1,000 points."
Qi Jie smiled from ear to ear when talking about how these people took the initiative to add money.
She was still acting very well in the morning or two, but in the afternoon she changed drastically and became so well-behaved that it was unbelievable.
"It just needs a beating!"
Qi Jie smacked his lips and affirmed:
"Let them know how miserable it will be after the ban, and they will know how to cherish the present."
"Where are the people from Green River?"
"Still hanging around in the oasis, but without supplies, I guess I won't be able to last much longer. But Cui Zhanjiang is also sensible, and after understanding his situation, he didn't come to bother him."
"Okay, that's the end of it."
Now that he realized what was going on, Soma gave up the idea of beating him again.
He knew very well that Cui Zhanjiang was definitely wondering why it was the Lujiang Territory that was unlucky and not someone else.
Nonsense, who makes the people from Lujiang the least among the groups that 'conspire to beat'?
There were only seven people, but they danced like a small group of more than a dozen people.
Especially this Cui Zhanjiang, who opened his mouth and shut up in a Jianghu manner, which made the listeners extremely uncomfortable.
What a death!
As for why other groups are not punished as well.
Now that one person can provide tens of thousands of points, eliminating these seven people is equivalent to giving up hundreds of thousands of points.
It would be such a waste to eliminate more people just for this trivial matter.
"We will bring a group of people with us tomorrow, and we will move the camp to the plain over there in the evening."
"This oasis. Let them fend for themselves."
Individual contestants can only afford a one-way ticket, and the Earthfire Desert has been isolated and closed by natural disasters.
Once you clear the canyon, you can at best do daily tasks at the exit and never come back to the oasis.
"As for Beast Mountain."
"We'll try again when we wake up tomorrow to see how much this armored Tyrannosaurus weighs!"
