The people who went in before also saw this scene and leaned back desperately.
But after all, we are people who have lived for more than two years in the apocalypse. No one shouted, and no one was hysterical. Everyone was on guard. Once attacked, they would definitely fight back.
Those green or fishy red eyes didn't come close, they just looked at these new people coming in quietly.
"Is there anything to eat?"
A dry and hoarse voice sounded, which made the new people feel relieved a lot.
Even in the end of the world, the same kind of life is terrifying, but in such a dark environment, it will be a lot of peace of mind to be sure that it is not a mutant life.
Since humans insist on not eating zombie meat, even now, for ordinary evolvers, food is still a big problem. The situation is similar to that of wild beasts before. After hunting prey, they will feast for several days, and once a period of time
If you can't find a suitable target within the time limit, you will be hungry.
So for humans, when they hear someone asking for food, they will naturally become wary.
As a result, these new entrants did not stay together and did not relax their guard against these similar people at all. Everyone even raised the steel cones in their hands.
Ye Zhongming stood behind and pressed against the stone wall. Although it was extremely dark here, he could still vaguely see some things.
Opposite these similar people with weird green or fishy red eyes are a group of people wearing tattered clothes, disheveled hair, and stooped bodies. Each of them looks more like evil ghosts coming out of hell than advanced beings of flesh and blood.
It seems that these people have been in these mines for a long time.
At this time, a person opened his mouth and a light group protruded, slowly rising into the air. It was one of his professions or other skills.
The light group suddenly lit up the place. Although it was still a little dim, at least it could be seen clearly.
But with their clear vision, the newcomers could clearly see the faces of the humans on the opposite side. They were all breathing in the air-conditioning, and there was an uncontrollable chill in their eyes.
Not to these people, but to yourself.
Because they seem to have seen their future.
The newcomers looked at these people who seemed to be surrounded by dirt. These "old people" all held the same steel cones in their hands. Some even held two, but these steel cones were obviously a little old and old.
Weared, some even completely broken.
When Ye Zhongming saw dark brown marks on some steel cones, he raised his eyebrows.
"It's unfortunate for you to be like this." An 'old man' glanced at the person who just spoke, raised two steel cones in his hand, and turned to the dozens of newcomers and said: "There is food, and
Keep half of the water as a greeting gift, otherwise, we will have to kill you and take these things from your hands."
Even though his face is completely black, you can still see the ferocity on this man's face.
Ye Zhongming looked back and saw that the cave entrance, which only allowed people to bend down to enter and exit, had been silently blocked by a huge stone.
"You're like a bedbug, you're unruly again!"
A voice intervened, breaking the gradually tense situation between the two parties. An old man who also had disheveled hair and although his body was not clean, was at least neater than the group of people who came first, walked in from another direction with many people.
The huge stone hall next to this entrance.
And the newcomers discovered that there was no greenish or reddish tint in these people's eyes.
Ye Zhongming looked at the 'old people' who were clearly divided into two groups, and suddenly thought of a possibility. When he looked at those people with green and fishy red eyes, he felt a little chilly.
"Old guy, you're not dead yet."
The dirty man holding two steel awls smiled, but his face was full of murderous intent.
The two groups began to confront each other, one on the left and the other on the right. There were more than 200 people in each group, but the dozens of new people who came in seemed a bit lonely.
"My team welcomes you to join us. We are willing to share the situation here with you to make it easier for you to survive until the day we have a chance to go out."
The relatively clean old man looked at Ye Zhongming and others and nodded slightly, "My name is Lin Yixun, and these are my children."
"Hey, if you pretend to be a good person and do the same things as outsiders, they will recognize your face soon."
Lin Yixun shook his head, "It's better than you bunch of cannibals."
When the newcomers heard this, they all moved towards Lin Yixun.
The end of the world is cruel, and things like cannibalism happen from time to time, but if there are other choices, no one will be willing to eat the same kind. Evolutionaries usually hate and hate such people.
The thing Ye Zhongming just remembered was about cannibalism, because people who often eat human flesh will have some changes in their eyes, that is, they will turn green or fishy red.
No one knows exactly why, and no one studies this kind of thing, but it was rumored to be like this in the past life, and today Ye Zhongming has really seen it.
That person knew that as long as Lin Yixun exposed this matter, these newcomers would definitely reject him and his people. It would be impossible to do anything he wanted to do today. He showed that hey sinister smile again, with
The people retreated from the passage on the other side.
But before leaving, he glanced at Ye Zhongming and others and said coldly: "One day, you will fall into my arms. I am waiting for you."
Watching these people disappear into the depths of the dark passage, the scene suddenly became deserted. Lin Yixun didn't say anything more, but waved to Ye Zhongming and others, motioning for them to follow, and then led the people ahead.
"What should I do? Follow or not?"
Someone started talking. Although these newcomers hadn't known each other for a long time, this situation still made them more willing to be with each other.
"Follow me, what if you don't follow me?"
The person who spoke was the boss of a force, and he was also the person who highlighted the bright skill before. Most of his people were here, so his words were immediately responded to, and the team followed Lin Yixun and others towards the depths of the mine.
As they went deeper into the mine, the newcomers felt how huge it was. It was like an underground maze, and it was all excavated manually. Many people didn't say it, but they were horrified in their hearts. How many people and how long would it take to achieve this?
A mine.
Only Ye Zhongming, who has a deep understanding of the power of evolvers, knows that digging such a mine is actually not something that is too difficult for evolvers to accomplish.
Ye Zhongming paid close attention to the cave walls on both sides, hoping to find something.
The purpose of his coming here was to see what kind of stone bead the Deacon Shui who sent him a message wanted to get, and then to deduce the true purpose of the Mingshui Feast.
As for the people here, he really didn't pay much attention to them. He could see that the old man named Lin Yixun and the man-eating leader just now were both five-star evolved people, and they did not pose a threat to him.
It's just that he walked all the way. Although the light was very dim and only a few torches in the team were lit, he could still see clearly, but he found nothing.
Soon, these people turned around and arrived at a stone hall that was not as small as the one when they entered the mine, but was quite large in area.
It's just that the Stone Hall is not high, only 1.89 meters, and tall people have to lower their heads, which makes it feel very depressing.
"Everyone, sit down, Xiao Liang, and have someone go guard the surrounding entrances to make sure those beasts don't come over to you."
Lin Yixun sat on the ground first, took out his water bottle from the cloth belt around his waist and took a sip. Then he looked at the newlyweds who were standing together without sitting down, looking a little nervous.
"Sit down, you are all suffering. From now on, we must cooperate with each other."
Others also spoke one after another, and after calming down the newcomers' emotions, Lin Yixun continued: "I know you have many doubts, and I will tell you one by one."
Sighing, Lin Yixun said: "The person who has stayed in this mine the longest has been almost a year. The same is true for several other mines. Those were the first batch of people who were put in.
It’s not easy to stay alive.”
"I have been here for more than half a year. Because my evolutionary level is not bad, I was elected as the leader by these children. If you are willing to follow me, then you are a member of this big family. If you don't want to, you can also act alone. I just want to remind you.
You guys, the mine is very dangerous. There are also mutated lifeforms here, and they are quite numerous and very powerful. If you are not careful, you will die. And those black dog people you saw just now are all deadly threats."
"What are stone beads? What do they do?"
Ye Zhongming suddenly spoke, causing everyone to focus on his face.
He was really a little impatient to listen to this old man trying to win over people. If it weren't for the crowded place and the narrow space, which would make conflicts very troublesome, and for fear of an accident and capsizing in the gutter, he might have pressed him directly.
The old man looked at Ye Zhongming with some surprise.
"This is the stone bead." The old man stopped several of his subordinates who wanted to teach Ye Zhongming a lesson for not understanding the rules with his eyes. He took out a gray-white bead the size of a glass ball from his clothes and threw it directly to Ye Zhongming.
Ye Zhongming reached out and took it, holding it in his hand and looking at it carefully.
The beads were not very smooth to the touch, on the contrary, they were a bit rough. Ye Zhongming's strength was already great. When he held the stone beads in his hand, it felt like he could crush them with just a squeeze.
After looking around, Ye Zhongming walked to a torch and looked around. There were some dark patterns on the stone beads, which were irregular. There was no energy contained in them, so they were obviously not materials.
Ye Zhongming was a little confused. If it weren't for the special lines on it, then such a stone bead would not be attractive at all. Why would Gong Shangming pay special attention to it? Why could he use this thing in exchange for good things from Deacon Shui?
"Do you know what this thing is used for?" This is the second time Ye Zhongming asked.
"If I knew, I might not be trapped here. If I want to survive, I can only use these beads to exchange for food and water every day."
Lin Yixun had a good temper and answered Ye Zhongming's questions.
"Have these beads been mined here from the beginning to now?"
"Yes."
"Are all beads the same?"
"It's roughly the same, but the smoothness is different, and the lines on it are also different. If you can find beads that are as smooth as glass and have regular lines, you can get more food and water. I think it should be
Better quality beads."
Ye Zhongming nodded and said nothing. He had been looking into the old man's eyes just now and found that his eyes were very calm, his voice did not hesitate or tremble at all, and his heartbeat was not chaotic. Ninety percent of the time, he was not lying.
"But I once heard a piece of news when I was exchanging food, but I don't know whether it is true or not. If you are interested, we can talk about it alone."
Ye Zhongming was startled for a moment, nodded and returned to his seat, sitting there and continuing to look at Shizhu, without any sign of returning it to Lin Yixun.
The others looked at the old man and the young man with somewhat confused expressions.
Lin Yixun straightened his body and continued to talk. It was nothing more than some rules here. For example, the stone pillars quarried must be handed over to him in exchange for food. His explanation was that in this way, he could have a little bit of say.
More supplies can be obtained from outside.
If people want to survive, they cannot rely on just a little food and water. They also need vegetables, salt, and even something to relieve the stress caused by the darkness.
Such as cigarettes, spirits, and even drugs.
In this process, the old man will naturally make some deductions, but in return, he will also ensure safety to a certain extent and provide information on mining locations and many other intelligence and conveniences.
"Black Dog thinks that I am exploiting everyone just like those people outside. I do not deny that I have received some benefits. I eat more than you and drink more water than you, but I also pay, I try my best.
Make sure you live and not die. One day, when our strength is enough, I will lead everyone out. So, please believe me, because we have a common goal, and a good organization guarantees everything.
fundamental.”
Ye Zhongming sneered in his heart after hearing this. He did not deny that what the old man said was logical, and that may be the case, but he did not believe that he had no selfish motives at all. This Lin Yixun must have his own plans.
"Okay, let's talk about this. It's time for you to make a decision. If you are willing to follow me, please stay. If you are not willing, then please leave."
It is not easy to gain people's trust in the last days. The old man said this, but a dozen people still left. They were obviously more willing to believe in themselves.
Ye Zhongming didn't move because he had his own plans.
Soon, the newcomers were arranged, and everyone had a few hours of rest before starting to work.
Ye Zhongming had been sitting against the wall. After snoring began to spread around him, he stood up, jumped over the people on the ground, and walked into a passage, which was Lin Yixun's 'room'.
"You came!"
As soon as he entered, Ye Zhongming saw Lin Yixun sitting there smiling and looking at him, obviously waiting for his arrival.
"How did you tell?"
"One of my professions is that of a visitor."
Ye Zhongming nodded and accepted this statement. The visitor is an auxiliary profession and can detect and estimate some things. Apparently the old man saw his true evolutionary level early on. In his heart, he felt calm about this old man.
I admire it for so long.
"You are here for these stone beads."
"Don't tell me that you lied to me when you said you knew a piece of news, otherwise you will die miserably."
"No, it's true, but I want you to agree to a condition."
"Take you out?"
"Stay alive and take me out."
"Can."
Hearing the promise, Lin Yixun was obviously relieved, and then adjusted himself before saying: "This is not a real mine, it is just a passage. The real vein is a... ruins below!"
