Volume Three, Second Floor. The Abyss Chapter 91. Bugs, Mice, and Flies
"We can't stay here for long. It's time for us to leave. Mr. Tang, do you want to join us?"
He clearly heard the noise around him getting closer and closer. Lu Shang nodded towards the members of the team behind him. They all picked up their weapons again and prepared to leave. Lu Shang took out a handkerchief, wiped the blood on his knife, and put the handkerchief
He threw it on the ground and suggested to Tang Yong's family.
Tang Yong was a little hesitant. He looked at Qiu Yanling and Tang Ling beside him, especially Tang Ling. Feeling Tang Yong's gaze on him, Tang Ling raised her head and looked at him blankly. Tang Yong frowned.
deeper.
It is absolutely impossible to follow Yan Zhengguo's family. If their family acted alone, they would have no direction at all. Indeed, as Lu Shang said, they were the last to fall in. They didn't know anything, and there was not much time for them to prepare.
But with Lu Shang and others...
Tang Yong is not stupid. What Lu Shang said just now was obviously a deliberate attempt to stir up trouble in order to let them know what Yan Zhengguo was thinking. But what was his purpose? Tang Yong didn't know, but he felt that Lu Shang
There is no way he would be so kind to help them.
Looking at the complete equipment of the Lu Shang group, I have to say that Tang Yong was a little tempted by Lu Shang's proposal. The people in their group are very strong, as can be seen from the fact that they were very calm and collected from the very beginning of the game.
When they came out, unlike others who were panicking, they seemed to have known all the upcoming situations, so they, who knew only a little about everything now, had the best chance of protecting their lives by following the merchants, but...
Tang Yong looked at Lu Shang again. He still had that smiling face on his face. He didn't feel anxious or impatient at all about Tang Yong's entanglement and hesitation for so long. He looked complacent, as if he had fully anticipated what kind of choice Tang Yong would make.
.
This man's fortress is very deep, and it is impossible to predict what he will do next. Should he join forces with the wolves, or should he go into danger alone?
"Okay, we'll go with you."
There was not much time to weigh the pros and cons. Tang Yong finally nodded and agreed to Lu Shang's proposal.
After listening to Tang Yong's words, Lu Shang smiled and was not surprised at all by his choice. He calmly directed the members of his group: "Let's go."
"Wait a minute, you can't just leave and take us with you!"
Wang Fanglu saw that Tang Yong and Lu Shang had already negotiated and were about to leave. She shouted to them anxiously: "If you don't take us with you, I will scream and lure those things over now!"
"Okay, let's see who will die first?"
Lu Shang turned to look at Wang Fanglu, his previous smile gone. He looked indifferently at Wang Fanlu who was standing there pretending to be calm. Lu Li behind him had quietly raised the long knife in his hand.
"Lu Shang, take us with you. I know all the monsters in the game and I can help you." Yan Zhengguo quickly grabbed Wang Fanglu, protected her behind him, and suggested to Lu Shang.
"Unfortunately, this condition does not impress me. There are people in my team who have the same information as you." Lu Shang's tone was full of regret and apology, but there was no regret at all on his face.
"Can I beg you? We just want to survive. Don't worry, I will never have any intention of taking advantage of you again! I swear!"
"Ah."
When everyone was waiting for Lu Shang's answer, Lu Shang suddenly laughed out loud. He picked up the flashlight in the hands of his teammates next to him and shone the light on Yan Zhengguo's face. Yan Zhengguo was so frightened that he quickly covered it with his hands.
Shutting his face, Lu Shang asked in a funny tone: "Mr. Yan, the wounds on your face were probably not picked out by yourself, right?"
When everyone heard this, they quickly looked over. They were concerned about other things just now, and because their vision was dim, no one looked at Yan Zhengguo's face carefully. Now under the strong light, Yan Zhengguo's entire complexion looked a little different.
Normally blue-grey, some gray-purple lines have emerged on his face.
"ah!"
Wang Fanglu, who was closest to Yan Zhengguo, was so frightened that she quickly jumped to the side. Yan Yan in her arms couldn't help but retreat, looking at Yan Zhengguo in horror.
Seeing that he could no longer hide it, Yan Zhengguo responded with some frustration against the defensive looks of those around him: "Yes, I was cut open by the insect's hair just now."
"let's go."
Lu Shang withdrew his flashlight and said to the person behind him.
"Aren't you going to solve it?" Lu Li asked Lu Shang in a low voice.
"For the lives of his wife and children, he will take care of it himself." Lu Shang rubbed Lu Li's head and replied softly.
"Shang Lu, Mr. Lu."
Before he had walked a few steps, Yan Zhengguo behind him stopped Lu Shang again. Before Lu Shang could turn around, there was a "boom" sound. Yan Zhengguo knelt on the ground, banged his head heavily on the ground, and faced Lu Shang and his party.
Pleading: "Please, take my wife with you, please, let them live, please."
"Zhengguo, get up quickly, don't do this."
When Wang Fanglu saw her husband's sudden move, she quickly ran forward to pull him away. Seeing her husband begging so humbly for the lives of their mother and son, she felt a surge of sourness. Yan Yan beside him had already cried and was speechless.
He pushed Yan Zhengguo's body with his voice: "Dad, get up quickly, Dad."
"Please, Mr. Lu, please take them away."
No one spoke around, except for Yan Zhengguo, whose head hit the ground hard again and again. His wife beside him had already lost her voice from crying, sobbing softly and feebly. Everyone was waiting for Lu Shang's final word.
They look at the local businessmen.
It is true that Yan Zhengguo's plan is very vicious, sacrificing others for his own life, but they can empathize with it and understand that they have fallen into this place inexplicably. Jackals, tigers and leopards are ambushing all around. No one can trust them. They pretend to use each other in order to survive.
To live.
This is human nature.
For that humble life that is not worth mentioning, I choose to stain my hands with blood.
So now his humble begging was no longer indifferent. Tang Yong's family looked at it and turned their heads unbearably, unwilling to look any more.
We are not afraid of the endless sins of the wicked, but are afraid of the sudden and humble begging of the wicked. Unfulfilled crimes are also sins, a complex body of contradictions. The anger and resistance that should have been felt at this time are not felt at all. The only choice is to turn a blind eye, so that it can be hidden.
A shameful sympathy suddenly rose in my heart.
Lu Li quietly pulled on Lu Shang's clothes and shouted softly: "Brother..."
"Alas." Lu Shang sighed, looked at Lu Li, and touched her head distressedly. Then he looked coldly at Yan Zhengguo, who was still pleading on the ground, and moved his lips slightly: "I can take them away."
"Thank you, thank you, thank you!"
Yan Zhengguo raised his head and looked at Lu Shang in surprise. His forehead had a cut due to being hit too many times. Blood flowed down the outline of his face. He looked extremely miserable. Yan Zhengguo didn't care about the wound on his forehead.
He hurriedly greeted Wang Fanglu and Yan Yan, held their hands and walked them forward, saying repeatedly: "Quick, hurry up, hurry up, follow them."
It was really time to leave this time. I had wasted too much time here. There were already sounds approaching from the surroundings. I could no longer stay here. Lu Shang hurriedly led his people to the other side and left.
Wang Fanglu didn't dare to stay here any longer. She gritted her teeth, stood up ruthlessly, and forced Yan Yan to run towards Lu Shang and the others. Yan Yan was still young, but he also understood what parting meant at this moment.
The light of the flashlight inside flickered and shone on Yan Zhengguo's body. His father knelt there and watched contentedly as he and his mother got further and further away. He gently waved goodbye to him. Although his face was dirty,
He could still clearly see the pale smile hanging on the corner of his father's mouth, until it was blocked by the dense grass and the light of the flashlight could no longer shine on his father.
"Be careful of what's going on around you."
Lu Shang gave instructions to the few new people who joined the group. Zhou Chen and Zhang Ziang used tools to clear the way. Jiang Yuan and Lu Li were guarding the surroundings. Lu Shang was at the end of the team, guarding against sneak attacks from behind.
Tang Yong held the stick to protect Qiu Yanling beside him, and carefully looked around. Wang Fanglu pulled Yan Yan and walked silently in the middle of the team, with his head lowered, still immersed in the sadness of losing Yan Zhengguo.
"Lu Shang, can you tell us what kind of monsters are there? What are their weaknesses?" Tang Yong asked Lu Shang behind him.
"Three kinds, bugs, mice, and flies." Lu Shang cut down the weeds next to him and replied to Tang Yong, "Where we are now, the rustling sounds we hear are mice and flies."
It was caused by bugs. The black shadow that rushed out of the corridor at the beginning was a rat. You all know rats. They are rodents that jump up and down and are extremely mobile. Then there are bugs, which move slowly but have rough skin and thick flesh.
They are protected by a layer of inaccessible fluff. Once a person is cut by that layer of hair, they will be infected and become disgusting creatures like them. Flies, flying guys, are difficult to kill."
"Bugs? Rats? Flies?" Tang Yong and his group repeated the names of these creatures in disbelief. Those behemoths were actually the most ignored things in their real society. If they hadn't experienced this series of weird things, Tang Yong would have
Yong and others may think that Lu Shang who said this is crazy.
"Yes, bugs, mice, flies, disgusting animals, guys who live at the bottom. In human society, no one can crush them with a little force, but here, in this pothole, they have become us.
The 'omnipotent' monster that humans fear."
Lu Shang sneered, his words full of ridicule.
Those in power who have always boasted of being at the top of the food chain, once they plunged into the bottomless abyss, found that they were nothing and would just stand there and scream stupidly.
Everyone was silent for a moment, their footsteps kept moving, but no one spoke. After a long time, Tang Yong finally found his voice and asked: "Then...how do we kill these things?"
"There is a way to see if you are willing, Mr. Tang." Lu Shang subconsciously reached out to push up his glasses, then remembered that they had been lost long ago. Lu Shang changed his gesture and moved his bangs to the side.
Pushing up, looking at Tang Yong who looked confused, Lu Shang put on his smile again.
"Mr. Tang, have you received a text message on your mobile phone?"
