Chapter 287 Chapter 280 Five·【Hot Land in the World】
……
"—Hey, Liu Qianqian, tell me, when can we contact Su Mingan?"
The fourth-class player seats were crowded with people.
Illuminated by various lights, the seats as dense as rice grains are crowded with people who are probing their brains one by one.Among them, a fat man with a fat head and a round face, while chewing the popcorn in his mouth, talked to the girl with ponytails next to him.
"Hey... I can't get in touch, I don't reply to the private message, I don't read the email, I don't know the person's number, and I don't know the person's address... Originally I wanted to make a copy to try my luck, but the probability is too small..." A short-haired boy next to him sighed.
"Still thinking about it, I guess, people have forgotten us a long time ago." A short-haired tomboy girl with bangs said, "I'm still a high school classmate. I've only graduated for three months. Once the summer vacation is over, they will forget us." Yes. Back then we were preparing for the college entrance examination together...How can this person change so much? We are still on the verge of life and death, and everyone has run to the top of the highest organization to show off their power. Look at the glass room. I envy..."
The young man who is talking in this line is a former student of Longguo, who has just entered his freshman year.
It turned out that they were just a group of extremely ordinary students, and there were many people of the same age as them in this game.
It's just that they are different, they are Su Mingan's high school classmates, and they have been preparing for the exam with him for three years.
...【Su Mingan's】, a high school classmate.
As long as it has a relationship with this prefix, it is no different from standing in the air. As long as the evidence is released, a pig can go to the sky.
When they were first selected into the world game, they felt lost and overwhelmed.
And at this moment, they reluctantly used the Q group system to gather together, and they wanted to get together to find warmth, and suddenly heard a piece of news...
They also have a classmate who was also selected into the world game, named Su Ming'an.
And just thinking about finding this classmate and pulling him into the "classmate mutual aid team", they suddenly discovered...
The status of this classmate...somewhat beyond their expectations.
On the day when Su Mingan's identity was discovered, more than a dozen of them held a small celebration party to celebrate the wonderful life of "hugging thighs" in the future.
The so-called one person attains the Tao, chickens and dogs ascend to heaven.This guy has jumped into the dragon's gate, so why don't he take care of his classmates who have spent three years together?
Li Jianyi is the one who thinks so.
He was the monitor of class [-] and [-] in high school before, and he was barely able to talk to Su Mingan when he was announcing the class news.When he learned of this person's sudden rise, his first reaction was to pick him up and try to become a teammate next to Su Mingan.
He has read fantasy novels, and knows that the most trustworthy people on the way of a strong man's growth are his close classmates and friends from childhood to adulthood. If he gets together and becomes some kind of teammate, wouldn't he be able to reach the sky in one step?
However, the cruel facts quickly hit this group of extremely excited young people.
……could not be reached.
They couldn't get in touch with Su Mingan.
They clearly sent emails to show their identities, but the emails they sent seemed to sink into the sea.Even in the Chaohua forum, the posts of their Crazy Aite did not get a response.
However, this attracted a large number of crazy reporters and fans to interview them and dig out various deeds of Su Mingan in the past. They enjoyed the feeling of being noticed.
...but that's not enough.
Li Jianyi remembers Su Mingan's performance in high school.
He remembered that Su Ming'an at that time...although he didn't talk much, he was also a communicative student with a friendly personality and a talent for piano. At that time, the class flower of his class, Shen Xue, liked him very much, and asked them Also served as a wingman.
Logically speaking, these classmates should be able to gain some friendship...
As long as you can contact the other party in this situation...
Thinking of this, he immediately picked up the loudspeaker and started shouting 197 times for this auction:
"—Su Ming'an! I'm Li Jianyi, your high school classmate, do you still remember me? I sent you an email—"
His voice was transmitted and mixed with all kinds of noisy human voices.
Now the auction is over, but it hasn't ended yet. Everyone is excitedly talking about various things, and the scene is very noisy.
His yelling didn't have any effect—in fact, there were countless people in the audience who were yelling like this. Some of them belonged to Su Mingan's junior high school classmates, some of them belonged to neighbors, and some of them belonged to others. The one who was young, some people even called it his mother's...
It's strange that this kind of shouting can be heard from such a long distance.
As soon as Li Jian put down the horn, he felt a little frustrated.
But when he shouted like this, it attracted another group of reporters.They came up with long guns and short cannons, and the microphones went straight to him.
"Hi player, I just heard you say that you are a classmate of the first player, may I ask if this is true..."
"Ah, it's true." The tomboy Li Yuanyuan next to him immediately interjected: "You can also find it on the Internet. We also have graduation photos. We are in the same class. We have been classmates for three years!"
The reporter immediately became excited after hearing this.
"This is the Northeast Times. May I ask if you have any particularly impressive memories of the first player..."
"Yes, we were classmates at the time, and our classmate liked him very much. Once he sent roses and asked us to help watch his movements..."
As soon as they saw this kind of scene where they could show their faces, the other students immediately became excited and rushed to answer the questions.
"I remember it too! I remember that the parents never came when he held the parent-teacher meeting, and he was the only seat in the class that was empty..."
"Su Mingan's academic performance is average, but his composition seems to have been published in some municipal newspaper..."
"I really didn't expect such an ordinary person to come to this point. As a classmate, I felt that there were two people before and after this... But it may be that we didn't know each other well before, and I don't know what changed. he……"
"I don't think he has changed much. I can't understand what he said sometimes."
"I also saw him arguing with the teacher in the office..."
As the topics broke out one by one, the smiles on the reporters' faces became more real, and they refused to leave as if they had discovered a treasure.
Among them, a reporter with a ponytail asked a sharp question:
"About the organizer's special treatment for the first player, what do you think? After living with him for three years, do you think he is the kind of person who betrays his compatriots for profit...?"
The eloquent Li Jianyi was stuck for a moment.
Facing countless sharp gazes, he felt a little unable to answer.
... He also thought about this question.
After all, that person received so much preferential treatment that even he had to doubt it.
Knowing the face but not the heart.
The world is a big dye vat, and the school is an ivory tower. It is possible to throw a person out of the ivory tower abruptly, and be dyed in such a brand-new world.
He thought for a while, weighed his words, and prepared to answer in the affirmative:
"This... I don't know, after all, the contrast between his front and back is too great, maybe something has changed him. It's hard for me to imagine what would make a student like me become what he is now... ..."
As he was talking, he suddenly noticed that the eyes of the reporters began to look wrong.
... No, not just the eyes of the reporters.
The people next to them, who had been watching them, also looked away at the same moment and looked behind him.Their expressions began to change, and fear and consternation appeared in their eyes.
...as if seeing something extremely unexpected and terrifying.
Li Jianyi felt his scalp go numb.
He suddenly heard an exclamation from far behind.
The voice was not close, but it seemed to rush towards him through a distant crowd, like many people shouting at the same time, so that it was so loud.
"My God..."
"how come……"
Li Jian turned his head abruptly.
The moment he saw the audience area outside the barrier.
He seemed to see that the complete image was cracking, and the turbulent waves gathered by people were scattering.
A bright red filled his field of vision.
In the audience seats outside the barrier, wave-shaped waves passed by people's figures, and clusters of bright red flowers bloomed in the waves of crowds.
He heard an incomparably tragic scream.
"Terrorist attack—it's a terrorist attack! Someone brought explosives—" The reporter next to him yelled in fright: "Run—!"
"Don't worry, we are inside the auction house, and we have protection measures! The explosion will not affect us!"
"Fortunately, players with a press card can enter the venue and save their lives..."
"Yes, everyone, calm down! We're fine inside—"
Li Jianyi gradually calmed down when he heard people shouting.
...Yeah, even if someone planned a terrorist attack and made the explosives go off at the same time, the adventure players inside their venue would be completely fine.
The disaster is too late, why is he panicking?
He watched the flow of people scurrying outside like ants in a hot pot, and watched the chaos of them fleeing in a panic.
Across an extremely safe barrier, he seemed to be watching a farce separated by a whole world.
Although such thoughts are very dark, in his heart, he actually looked down on those casual players.
Why can these people sit back and enjoy the benefits, ignore the efforts of adventure players, and only know how to talk on the forum?
God knows how jealous he was when he saw these idlers fiddle with ticket prices—why adventurers need to struggle with life and death in order to earn those points.And this group of trash who only know how to wait for the points to fill up, can make such a big deal?
One ticket, 700 points.
He struggled painfully in several worlds, and the total sum did not reach 700 in the end!
Do not suffer from widowhood but suffer from inequity.
He looked at this scene, although he felt it was cruel, but he felt an inexplicable sense of guilt.
There seemed to be a voice in his heart saying to him that this should be the case.
This group of viewers, this group of guys who only know leisure, should also face some "risks".
For example, if you stay in the comfortable world of the main god, you will have the risk of real death.
This risk was exposed by the first player as early as the end of the second world, but as time went by, it was gradually forgotten by the people who were greedy for comfort.Now, this explosion can make these blindfolded guys wake up.
Li Jianyi even wondered whether this well-planned bombing was planned by some large organization in order to wake up this group of guys who had fallen asleep.
This kind of accident has clearly been foreseen, and it has also been reminded by major organizations on the forum, but most people at this time seem to be unprepared.
...they are so comfortable.
Just like the previous world football match on Zhai Xing, it will not be held because of the possibility of being attacked by terrorists.People whose enthusiasm has been mobilized will not stay behind closed doors because of this little panic.
The rarity of the explosives...the people who ignite it are very likely to die together...the excessively high ticket price...the area and time plan of the ignited...
This explosion cannot be a plan that can be finalized by a few criminals.
...and like a mass murder.
Although the method is cruel and extreme, it should be very effective and can alert people to the crisis.
...just like the first player once did.
Although, what the first player did at the time was to sacrifice himself and commit suicide in public to alert people.The current approach is to kill innocent people to warn people - don't stay comfortably in the world of the main god.
But he felt no difference.There has to be sacrifice in this sort of thing.
Only blood and real death can calm people down.
After all, the external points must be collected by adventure players after all. What these casual players earn is just the internal transaction points between players, all of which are obtained from adventure players.
Only the struggle of adventure players is meaningful to the growth of the overall progress bar.
Although Li Jianyi felt that his thoughts were a bit dark, some organizations should not have done such behavior.This is more like a sudden terrorist attack.
But there is still the possibility of organizing such a plan.
He watched this scene, the people outside the barrier panicked, like watching a bunch of animals jumping on the fire.
The rule of the main god world is that they cannot directly attack each other.In the face of ranged attacks, players can launch their own defensive skills.
But now it seems that quite a few of the guys in the explosion don't even have half a skill.
Outside at this time, it was like a fireworks show.
It is not frequent, just blowing up every once in a while, but it is enough to make the rest of the people who failed to evacuate in time despair.
"Save... help me..."
The casual players in the row of core areas closest to the barrier were helplessly blocked at the back.
They couldn't get over the turbulent crowd at all, and some people could only desperately beat on the barrier wall, trying to get the adventurers inside to save them.
It's like a drowning man grabbing at straws.
"Li, Li Jianyi, we, what should we do? We are adventure players with defensive skills. Since they can't get in, let's rush out and save them!" Chen Tianle, a female classmate next to him, immediately gave him a hand.
She also looked terrified, and her whole body was shaking at this moment.
But she still wants to save people.
Li Jian glanced outside the barrier.
He saw that there were people who relied on their physical advantages to squeeze through the crowd, push and shove, trample on others, and wanted to rush out regardless of the screams of others.
He saw that someone used all kinds of skills, covered with a layer of light film, and moved forward quickly in the blood, completely ignoring other people's pleas for help.
But he also saw a middle-aged woman who looked very similar to his mother, huddled in the corner of the crowd, protecting the child in her arms with her body, even though her back was covered in blood by the storm.
He even saw that someone raised his hands high and sent the baby wrapped in swaddling clothes out, but he himself fell into the deepest part of the explosion.
In such a catastrophic situation,
He saw all kinds of things in the world.
"No!" Li Jianyi immediately held her hand: "You can't go out! Only the inside of the arena is the safest now. Once you rush out and enter such a crowded flow of people, you can't come back at all. Once your mana is exhausted, it's over!"
"Yes, but we can obviously save them by reaching out..."
"This is an event accident, and the organizer will have to explain it. It's not up to us to take care of it." Li Jianyi stopped her: "Besides, didn't you see that the top players didn't move? They didn't save them, us little people , What should I do if I get stuck? Are you willing to blow up with a bunch of people you don't know?"
He was right.
At this time, in the most eye-catching area, among the dozens of top players sitting upright, none of them rushed out.
At most, a few stood up and observed the situation here.
"..." Chen Tianle stopped talking.
She watched countless feet being trampled on the woman's back, and she watched the woman weeping and protecting the child in her arms.
She watched this scene and the chaotic crowd outside the barrier, rushing past her like a sea wave.
She looked at the bright red blood in front of her eyes.
She gritted her teeth, only to feel a rush of heat rushing into her mind.She had never felt her heart beating so fast, her blood seemed to be boiling, and she felt her face flushed.
This feeling, which has never appeared in her 18 years of regular life, is like a sudden bell ringing in her heart.
Her eyes suddenly became clear.
There seemed to be some strange feeling unsealed in her heart.
She turned her head, smiled at Li Jianyi, and rushed out.
The moment she rushed out, she felt an unprecedented joy, as if she had left behind the cool wind in her ears.
A white mask rose in front of her, and she jumped over the shocked crowd, like a fish swimming in water, and plunged headlong into the most dangerous sea of blood.
"Hello——Chen Tianle!"
Li Jianyi had no idea how this normally introverted and cowardly girl would suddenly make such an impulsive move.
...It was obviously just a group of strangers.
He saw her turn her head from the crowd, the blood stained her hair, like the waves of the setting sun on the sea.
"Li Jianyi, I seem to suddenly understand the meaning of someone like me being selected into this game." She said.
She didn't look back anymore, she jumped into the sea of blood like a free bird.
And he didn't move an inch.
"..." He withdrew his outstretched hand.
"Li Jianyi, are we not moving?" Li Yuanyuan next to him asked him in a low voice: "Chen Tianle, she..."
"Can't go!" He immediately said: "Our lives are much more important than these casual players. For the sake of the progress bar, we can't die there!"
Li Yuanyuan lowered her head, seeming a little guilty.
Li Jianyi took advantage of the situation to stop the other students, and didn't let them be stupid.
...they can't afford to risk it for a bunch of good-for-nothings.
After he finished persuading his classmates, he suddenly heard many other voices.
Like bursts of footsteps, or slow, or hesitant, or swift.
He saw countless figures like the girl.
Young people, young girls, middle-aged men, and even children, they have different shapes, looks, and skin colors.
But very uniformly, these people were all passing by before his eyes like white meteors.
A series of defensive masks were propped up on the people, rushing towards the place where the screams were the loudest.
"Auntie, come here quickly! Let me mask you!"
"I can accommodate three people here, accept the invitation to form a team immediately!"
"Don't go that way—there's a fallout there—"
Although the vast majority of adventurers are still waiting and watching, there is a group of adventurers who could have been in comfort, but they took the initiative to go out...to save a group of completely useless people.
He is confused.
... Are human beings so united?
Or, when did humans become so united?
He looked at this scene and couldn't figure it out.
Obviously on the forum, this group of guys are tougher than anyone else, and no one will let the other go when they quarrel, as if they want to bite off a piece of each other's skin before they can stop.Wherever he saw, public opinion was in chaos, and pessimism and loneliness were everywhere.Extremist remarks are full of posts, and no one will take half a step back when competing for interests.
Facing the desperate situation of the Sixth World, some people threatened to commit suicide together with others.
but now……
Why can he see such a group of stupid guys for others?
He can't understand.He just felt that his heart was beating faster and faster, and his blood was surging, which gradually made his face flush.
Seeing this scene of unprecedented unity, for some reason, he also had the urge to rush forward.It's like watching an extremely passionate movie, or seeing a sympathetic picture.
...This is the empathy that belongs to human beings?
No.
Li Jianyi is unwilling to admit it, he prefers to explain this phenomenon with "conformity".
He stood on the spot, stopped, watching white lights flashing in front of him.
At the same time, he saw another package with blue light appear at the place where the scream was the loudest.
Within three seconds, the mechanical explosive will explode, and the land will be turned into blood.
"what--"
Someone was already screaming, and they stretched out their hands to escape the area, but they didn't even have a chance to move.
Like a flock of geese stretching their necks, they are full of despair, caught in the vortex of the tide.
Li Jianyi closed his eyes.
"boom--!"
A violent explosion sounded in front of him.
Across the barrier, he couldn't feel the scorching storm, but he knew that when he opened his eyes, he could see a bloody human tragedy again.
He took a breath and suddenly noticed that there was some silence around him.
The originally flustered discussions, screams, voices discussing whether to save people... slowed down at this moment.
He felt strange and opened his eyes.
The people who should have been surrounded by the explosion were still safe and sound.
They stared with disbelief on their faces, as if they hadn't recovered from the rest of their lives after the catastrophe.
...the explosion did not come.
Li Jian raised his head.
He saw that the explosives that were thrown high exploded in the extremely high sky, surrounded by stars, and the fire was bright, like a beautiful firework suddenly burst into brilliance.
...but it didn't affect anyone.
And above the people, the woman covered in armor fell down and withdrew her raised, bloody hand.
On her armor was engraved a bright red scale, glaring like blood.
