The light shone on everyone's face, illuminating their regretful expressions.
If I had known that the two of them were so strong, they shouldn't have been so arrogant before.
Under Zhang Meng's passionate words and the looming fists of the two men.
The survivors sincerely realized their mistakes one by one.
They apologized to Li Cang one after another, with varying degrees of guilt and apology on their faces.
An apology meeting began.
Although everyone knew that they were acting, they also knew that Li Cang also knew that they were acting.
But this cut scene must be completed. After this cut scene, everyone can continue to move forward.
Only then can everyone pretend that the matter is over and continue to work together.
It can be said that "hypocrisy" is a necessary skill for human beings, which ensures large-scale cooperation among people.
Although everyone hates it and thinks it is a derogatory term.
But it is precisely indispensable.
If everyone is straightforward, there will be no lubricant, cooperation will not be possible, and they will conflict with each other.
The first person to stand up and apologize was Old Thomson.
He is an old man who is quite prestigious among players.
His face was engraved with the traces of time, and his eyes shone with a very sincere light.
But Li Cang knew that this guy had brutally killed his two sons because they robbed him of food.
I saw him walking up to Li Cang and bowing deeply.
"Great Li Cang, I apologize to you for our previous rudeness." Old Thomson's voice was hoarse and powerful. "We didn't realize your sacrifice and effort. We only saw the results but ignored the process."
Li Cang looked at Old Tom, feeling disgusted in his heart.
But he still smiled and nodded, accepting Old Tom's apology.
Because what he wants to do next requires these guys to cover him.
Then, the young woman, Erica, also came over.
There were tears in her eyes and her hands were clasped together.
She is sincere.
Because from the very beginning, it was she and her husband who stood up to speak for the two of them.
"Li Cang, I'm really sorry." Erica's voice trembled, "I don't know what you have been through, I don't know what you have done for us."
"I know everyone is wrong, but I can't stand up and persuade them. I hope you can forgive me."
Li Cang patted Emily on the shoulder.
There was a trace of sincerity in his eyes.
He sighed: "It's okay, Erica, I understand you, we are all fighting for survival."
The atmosphere of apology quickly spread.
The atmosphere gradually relaxed.
Everyone was embarrassed from the beginning, but with Old Tom and Emily taking the lead, others began to apologize to Li Cang one after another.
Their expressions varied, some were ashamed, some were dissatisfied, and some were relieved.
…
And at this time.
Xiao Huan asked Wen Rensheng:
"Why don't they apologize sincerely?"
"Why are you still holding on to all kinds of thoughts when you are clearly apologizing?"
"Only one or two people actually apologized."
Wen Rensheng shook his head and said: "This is the human heart, the complicated human heart. Above survival, under the rules, what is mixed between the two is the human heart."
"It keeps oscillating in these two aspects. If there is no survival, the lowest personal needs cannot be met, the human heart will slip to the worst and become the heart of a beast."
"Without the rules, when personal power breaks through the limits of the rules, people's hearts will also slide to the worst and become the heart of the devil."
Xiao Huan blinked his eyes, expressing that he didn't understand.
"You don't understand people's hearts, so your ability to transform can't reach the highest level." Wen Rensheng shook his head and said.
"Oh, I understand."
…
At this time, a middle-aged man, John, had a look of relief in his eyes.
He walked up to Li Cang and stretched out his hand.
"Li Cang, I wrongly blamed you before, and I apologize to you." John's voice was trembling, "I am willing to follow you, and I want to face future challenges with you."
Li Cang held John's hand, with a smile in his eyes.
"Thank you, John, and let's work together."
As more and more people apologized to Li Cang, the atmosphere in the camp gradually relaxed.
People started to sit together.
They began to share food and stories, and they began to rebuild trust and friendship.
They are looking forward to the end of the world.
Li Cang sat on a chair.
There was a hint of cunning in his eyes.
He looked at Zhang Meng.
He kept convincing himself in his mind.
The rabbit is dead and the dog is cooked, and the bird is gone and hidden in its bow.
The great emperors of the past are showing me the way.
And he knew that this was just the beginning for him.
If he wants to have his own power, he still has a long way to go.
It must be ruthless!
If a person is not ruthless, he will not be able to stand firmly.
After all this is a grab for personal power of the highest order.
…
And at this time.
Zhang Meng walked to Li Cang.
There was a hint of appreciation in his eyes.
"You did a great job, Li Cang." Zhang Meng said, "You brought us together."
Li Cang took the opportunity and said: "Haha, yes, the atmosphere is so good today, and there is hope for the end of the apocalypse. Why don't we hold a banquet?"
"It's also a good way to celebrate our victory and unity."
Zhang Meng didn't notice much.
He was also a little greedy.
At this time, the weakness of human nature and the lack of ambition made him unable to suppress his desire for food.
…
When Wen Rensheng saw this, he found it very interesting.
The general trend often does not change.
But when it comes to personal destiny and family destiny, it often happens in just a moment.
For example, one dynasty followed another.
But which family becomes the master of the dynasty is likely to be changed by external factors.
Maybe a natural disaster, maybe a drunkenness, the ending would be different.
Just like Cao Cao, if he hadn't wasted too much time in the early stage, it would have taken nearly ten years to attack Yuan Shao, and he wouldn't have had time to continue to dominate the world after unifying the north.
He defeated Yuan Shao and then used the strategy of sitting back and watching the Yuan family fight within themselves.
It seems shrewd, but someone has analyzed that this is a typical outcome of "taking advantage of a small amount and suffering a big loss".
Sometimes it can be seen that some victories must be achieved quickly, no matter how costly they are.
The price of waiting longer will be small, but valuable opportunities will also be lost.
Cao Cao's initial intention was to become a powerful minister, but not directly determined to change the dynasty. This made him choose to wait slowly.
At this point, the descendants are not strong enough. They did not produce two heroic heroes in a row, thus wasting the strategic opportunity.
Now, Zhang Meng and Li Cang have reached a period of strategic opportunity for them.
Of course he won't interfere.
He just wanted to see the results and gain some mystery.
This kind of intertwining between a person's fate and the general trend is very interesting.
…
Afterwards, Li Cang began to hold a banquet enthusiastically.
"I hope this banquet can become a new beginning, an opportunity for everyone to let go of the past and face the future together."
"Let's take out the reserved cans, instant noodles, and drinks!"
When everyone heard this, they immediately cheered.
The player survivors got busy. They collected all the food and drinks they could find. Although the resources were limited, they tried their best to make this banquet as rich as possible.
Some candles were lit, and the festive candlelight illuminated everyone's faces and warmed everyone's hearts.
Oh, it's the hot end of the world now, so that's okay.
People's hearts are inherently hot.
Li Cang stood in the center of the shelter.
There was genuine excitement in his eyes.
"Tonight, we're going to celebrate our victory, we're going to celebrate our unity."
His voice rang in everyone's hearts and immediately aroused everyone's expectations.
As the banquet officially began, the survivors sat around the long table, sharing food, stories and drinks.
Laughter and conversation echoed through the camp, breaking the silence of the night.
Li Cang took out the wine he had collected.
There was sincerity in his eyes.
"Zhang Meng, I prepared this wine specially for you." He said, "You have the greatest contribution."
"Everyone said, should we all give him a toast?"
"right."
"I should give Mr. Zhang a glass of wine."
Everyone had different thoughts at this time.
More people wanted to support Zhang Meng and check and balance Li Cang.
Some people think that Zhang Meng should be currying favor with him, after all, the latter is also very powerful.
So everyone began to want to take this opportunity to toast.
Zhang Meng took the wine glass. He was actually not used to drinking.
"This glass of wine is how we all express our gratitude to you."
Li Cang then took the lead in raising his glass and drank it all in one gulp.
Zhang Meng saw everyone expecting and cheering. He had no choice but to drink it too.
The wine flowed into his throat, and a sense of choking spread throughout his body.
My head suddenly felt dizzy.
Then one after another people came up to toast.
He also drank more and more happily, his mind gradually became excited, and he drank more and more.
The alcohol began to numb his brain and made him lose consciousness.
As the banquet progressed, Zhang Meng began to feel dizzy.
His eyes became blurry and his consciousness began to blur.
He realized that Li Cang was using wine to make him comatose.
"No, Li Cang, you..." Zhang Meng's voice became muffled.
His last act of reason made him regret it.
"You can't do that. The result of doing that will be destruction."
"You know, there are gods above us."
He used his last strength to speak hard.
Li Cang smiled, with a hint of apology in his eyes.
"Zhang Meng, I have to do this." He said, "I need you to sleep for a while."
God can't stop him from gaining true power!
He didn't want to struggle anymore.
He doesn't want to be an ant, he doesn't want to be an athlete watched by the gods.
He wants to be the master!
Zhang Meng's body slowly fell down.
His eyes closed and his breathing became steady. Li Cang looked at Zhang Meng with a hint of complexity in his eyes.
After all, Zhang Meng is indeed a good person.
The banquet continued, but the atmosphere seemed to become a little heavy.
The player survivors watched Zhang Meng suddenly become drunk.
They seemed to realize something.
There was a trace of doubt and worry in each of their eyes.
"Li Cang, why did you do this?" Erica rushed forward and asked.
Li Cang took a deep breath and looked at everyone coldly.
"You won't understand if I do this."
"Because you don't know the truth behind it."
"You just need to know that I am here to protect all of us."
He said: "Zhang Meng has a powerful power, but he doesn't know how to use it."
He looked at everyone, then turned and left.
People moved out of the way.
Li Cang knew that in order to gain real power, he must take the most ruthless measures.
He decided to go to the location of the Hot Core, absorb the power of the core, and transform it into his true power.
Li Cang walked through the forest again and crossed the dry river.
He came to the huge underground space again.
That's where the hot core is.
The lava in the lava pool is rolling and emitting a blazing light.
In the center of the lava pool, the hot core floats quietly, emitting a dazzling light, as if calling Li Cang.
It's just a child.
I am curious about all new life.
Li Cang stood by the lava pool. He could feel the heat in the core and its power.
He took a deep breath, his body began to change, and his skin began to emit a faint light.
He used the power he gained when he first awakened.
He thinks that is his real power.
Li Cang began to try to communicate with the hot core in the same way.
His spirit gradually extended, passed through the air, and connected with the core consciousness.
He could feel the strength of his core, could feel its heat.
"Give me your power."
"I'll give you something more."
"I will give you whatever you want!"
He began to try to absorb the power of his core and transform it into his true strength.
As Li Cang communicated, Hot Core began to respond.
Its heat began to flow into Li Cang's body.
His skin began to glow more intensely.
Li Cang could feel the core power flowing through his body, and his body began to adapt to this power.
His body began to change.
His muscles become energized.
He left his mortal body.
His brain tissue began to crystallize.
His consciousness began to break away from simple bioelectrical structures.
He began to become a life similar to AI intelligence.
His eyes became sharper.
His strength was greatly enhanced by the stimulation of the core.
His body became stronger, his speed became faster, and his strength became more amazing.
In short, it is similar to a small Superman.
At some point, Li Cang walked out of the lava pool.
His body was covered in flames, and his eyes shone with new power.
He knew that he had become the master of this world.
…
Li Cang stands above the world.
He looked down.
His body is being surrounded by the apocalyptic power of cold and heat.
His eyes shone with unprecedented strength and confidence.
He was a member of the survivors.
But now, he has the power of doom.
He became the Creator.
He begins to absorb heat.
Soon, the hot apocalypse receded and the world began to become normal.
He is like a child in an ant pile.
When a child is happy, it is good news for the ants. A few pieces of candy can help them survive the winter.
When a child is angry, it is a disaster for ants. A pot of boiling water is a natural disaster.
