Chapter 60: Human Nature
"Isn't that enough? Phew! Isn't there still ten experts from the laboratory? With the efforts of our three parties, there is nothing that can't be settled, right?"
Zhang Kang pretended to see these ten experts at this time. It seems that there are biochemical people who come to support, but in fact, Zhang Kang and the others have seen this group of different existences long ago, but they deliberately ignored it.
"It should be!" Zhao Xu replied.
This is also the reason why he is willing to take a trip. There are definitely a lot of materials in the department store, but it is obvious that his own team cannot eat it. Maybe they will develop together in the end, but now it is just ahead of schedule.
So the three parties formed a team of dissimilar looks and came to Xiao Xiao's direction.
'Really...' Xiao Xiao was quite speechless, even though she knew that there were many things like this intrigue and hidden knives in laughter, this was the first time she 'watched' the scene!
Xiao Xiao has no plans to contact them now, but she is also quite curious, what kind of reaction will they make if they arrive at the department store where the zombies have been cleaned up by Xiao Xiao?
You know, Xiao Xiao has no need for materials now, so except for a few special products that she brought with her, the rest of the materials are still intact, which is quite a lot.
'Never mind them! It is solved near the X area, and the next one is the N area. This time you have to climb a hill to reach it. There are many mutant beasts in the mountain, but probably none of them will come out to provoke you. If you want to collect cores, this is a great opportunity!'
The system started urging again, it always felt that Xiao Xiao was about to start working again.
'Wait! I want to see what will happen to them!' Xiao Xiao bypassed the team's travel route and hung behind them after they passed.
While tracking, she was arguing with the system.
'For the sake of mankind, I have been destroying these monsters for so long since the end of the world. Maybe it's time to let me know what human nature is! '
The system understands that this is Xiao Xiao's curiosity running out again!
However, it was also very curious about this question, so it did not force Xiao Xiao to leave.
After seeing that the system understood what she meant, Xiao Xiao was a little embarrassed to explain to the system.
'Generally speaking, they are all human beings, but if you want to subdivide them, in this small base, they have three forces! I want to know, what will happen when the treasure without threat appears in front of this group of people? '
In other words, Xiao Xiao wanted to see, what is the situation outside the defense line now?
For this group of people who are still struggling in the disaster, does human nature still exist?
Human nature, what is human nature?
It is human nature to be greedy for petty gain, and it is human nature to forget about righteousness, but it is also a part of human nature to sacrifice oneself for others.
In general, people themselves are complex creatures. Different environments create different people, and each person has different choices in the face of the same thing, but sometimes they are surprisingly consistent.
In Xiao Xiao's mind, there may be a battle between them, and the outcome of this battle will directly determine who controls the main voice in the small base.
After all, what Xiao Xiao left behind is not just a department store. Xiao Xiao has not touched the materials from nearby buildings or supermarkets, and even filled two additional boxes of common drugs!
These materials are enough to make this small base take a long time. It depends on what choices this group of people will make!
Don't look at how fast Xiao Xiao moved before, thinking that these unsearched areas are very close to the small base. Strictly speaking, this distance is not short. After all, Xiao Xiao's moving speed is no longer the same.
Moreover, the most important point when establishing a base is that the zombies in an area must be cleaned up first, so that there is a safe isolation zone outside the base, so that if there are special events, they can still respond.
In short, Xiao Xiao ran a distance of less than half a day, but this group of people drove for nearly a day to arrive.
During this time, Xiao Xiao has been hanging behind them, observing the movements of this group of people.
At this time, Zhao Xu and his team members were sitting on the same military card, and they were discussing the behavior of the mercenaries.
"Brother Zhao, look at them like this..."
"This time..." Zhao Xu looked at the players around him, gritted his teeth, and finally made a decision.
"After we go back this time, let's go to the defense line."
"Captain!"
"Captain!"
Several team members next to him exclaimed at this moment, as if Zhao Xu had said something extremely unbelievable.
"I've figured it out in the past few days. It's not going to work like this. You all believed in me to follow me until now, but I've been living up to your expectations..." Zhao Xu said this, paused, and looked at several faces next to him.
"I promise you that I will take you to live. Although some of us have a criminal record before, it may not be easy to return to the defense line, but if we continue to stay here, who knows that they will be forced to die one day!"
"However, I heard that most of the suburbs are now occupied by mutant beasts, and our distance to the nearest line of defense is not too short... Not to mention, isn't there Director Lin?" One of the team members said.
At this time, when he heard that Dean Lin was mentioned, Han Liming immediately said with a look of disdain: "He? He's just an old fox tyrant. Saying someone to help us is just an attempt to get a piece of the pie."
"Liming!" Zhao Xu frowned and stopped Han Liming's words.
"President Lin also has his concerns! At least he is still willing to help us now, that's enough!"
That said, but Zhao Xu also understands that there must be other reasons why Dean Lin of the laboratory will help these outsiders, at least to attract the attention of the mercenaries, so he helps them like this.
Because no matter how high-sounding it is, there is an indisputable fact that they are all power users who have the ability to return to the defense line, but are unwilling to go back!
Such people have more or less their own reasons, but most of them should be negative.
Thinking of this, Zhao Xu rubbed his eyebrows with hand, and said in a weary tone:
"In any case, after I went to explore with them this time, I can't continue to stay here. Although there have been many mutant beasts, but for now, our team's ability is still able to cope with the past. Also, Huang Mao and Ming Yu also need medical treatment, so it is not the way to delay."
Huang Mao and Ming Yu belong to Zhao Xu's team. Because some medicines were kept before, so their injuries did not worsen, but they can't guarantee that they can find medicines every time they go out to search for supplies!
And this is why Xiao Xiao put two more boxes of common drugs.
You must know that before the end of the world, medicines were generally only available in hospitals or pharmacies, and department stores could at most have medicines for trauma, such as patches, ointments, etc., and it was impossible for them to be available.
And Xiao Xiao actually has a little bit of bad intentions, because the situation is very obvious now, if there is no fuse, even if the materials are all seized by the mercenaries, Zhao Xu and others will not have any complaints.
With the addition of these two boxes of medicines provided by Xiao Xiao, Zhao Xu and Zhang Kang have a reason for conflict.
If it's better, one team and one box can solve it, but if one of the two parties is irrational...
But if you look at it purely by perception, Xiao Xiao is still more inclined to Zhao Xu's side.
In addition to people sympathizing with the weak, the most important thing is that Zhao Xu did not give up the actions of the team members, which made Xiao Xiao quite fond of him.
In the midst of this disaster, every patient is a huge burden. Just like Yan Wei at the time, medicines are the most extravagant part, which is inconvenient for the entire team.
"Okay, everyone, just listen to the captain! You must know that almost all the materials near this base have been searched, and we may be sent to further places to look for them in the future, which is more dangerous! It's better to go back. Make plans within the defense line!"
Han Liming immediately understood what Zhao Xu meant, so he helped to persuade him.
"Looking at the situation this time, who knows what they will do next time!"
"Yes, Liming means what I mean." Zhao Xu nodded and took over.
"We can take what we can take today, and we can't take it and don't rob it. We have already decided to leave here, so we can't conflict with them at this juncture!"
Zhao Xu quickly decided on the course of action this time, anyway, according to the materials they have collected are enough to support them on the journey back to the line of defense.
"Listen to the captain!"
"Listen to the captain!"
Finally, after everyone calmed down and thought, everyone agreed with Zhao Xu's instructions.
And what about the other side? Xiao Xiao extended her mental tentacles to understand what the conversations in these cars were.
"I said, this little Zhao will never be honest! Look, isn't this strange?" This is a bald-headed mercenary, tall and big, and he is constantly talking.
"Hey, don't say, no matter what conspiracy they have this time, let him taste it for himself, he wants to plot against us even before the hair has grown, little bastard!"
Zhang Kang took a sip of the wine and said this. But one of the luxuries they found recently, if they hadn't been able to live without alcohol, they would definitely use it to exchange things with Dean Lin of the laboratory.
Who let the old man like this!
"Tsk tsk, it's true that old Lin Tou is really trying to take care of us before? Now let the new group sit up, what do you want to do?"
"Whatever he wants to do? If he really wants to fall out, who will win and who will lose? But do you want to tell other people about this matter?
"How many supplies do you have!"
"That's right, it's still a while before I get there, I'll take a nap for a while!"
"You only think about sleep, why don't you sleep to death?"
There are a bunch of nutritious words. Well, Xiao Xiao didn't care too much anyway, what she cared about was the third party, the ten people in the laboratory.
When she put her mental tentacles over the car, she found that the people inside were like sculptures, sitting quietly in the car. Except for the driver who occasionally moved, the rest did not move, nor did they ever move. It's very weird to talk.
Xiao Xiao frowned after knowing the situation from the mental feedback.
But Xiao Xiao didn't do anything. After learning about the situation of the three parties, she quietly waited for the reaction of the team arriving at the department store.
At the same time, Xiao Xiao is also discussing this issue with the system.
'Are they cyborgs, why do I feel so strange? 'Xiao Xiao felt that the system should be able to give her the answer, so she trusted this feeling very much and asked.
'They can't be called them.' The system explained to Xiao Xiao: 'Or, they should be called, he! ' It's a little bit reluctant, but Xiao Xiao understands the meaning of the system.
'So, they're all marionettes? There are so many biochemical people in the institute, how can he manipulate them? '
'No, you can treat them as the same sample, meaning loaded in different bodies. They have the same memory, but they are no longer the same person. So I don't talk to myself.'
Hearing this, Xiao Xiao finally understood, but she was even more puzzled.
'But, didn't that laboratory win a lot of awards? How come? '
'The winners are a group of people, and those who use this banner to do bad things are another group of people. '
'So... so that Director Lin, is there really a problem? '
After Xiao Xiao cleaned up the department store, she always felt that she still had something to do in this place, but she couldn't find the root cause. It seems that the problem probably lies with this Dean Lin.
'It's up to you to judge for yourself, it's impossible for me to know your hunch. '
'Okay, let's take a walk with them later, by the way, what kind of medicine is this Dean Lin's gourd selling?'
Finally, after a long journey for a long time, the high-rise buildings in this area gradually appeared in front of the convoy.
Xiao Xiao followed with interest at first, but later found that there were no more interesting things to hear, so she ran back to the place she had cleaned up before.
Looking at the corpses on the ground, Xiao Xiao asked the system: 'Is there a way to solve this? '
'......Yes.' The system seems reluctant?
'There are pools of dissolution in space, and according to the earth, no matter what material enters, it will vanish into nothingness. '
'That's great! You help me clean it all up! '
Because Xiao Xiao is usually used to the system serving her and helping her take away all the crystal cores and magic cores, when she thinks of taking a bunch of objects, she directly asks the system to deal with them.
'……it is good.' Although reluctantly, who made it now Xiao Xiao's rule!
Therefore, under the fast hands of the system, before the team arrived, there was not even a ghost at the scene, and Xiao Xiao was very satisfied with the efficiency of the system!
The system is quite complaining, its space is not used to deal with garbage! It must let Xiao Xiao know about it!
No matter what bad idea the system secretly prepares, Xiao Xiao doesn't know, because at this moment Xiao Xiao's mental tentacles have already felt the team coming.
On the side of the team, it is also extremely vigilant when encountering such a situation.
"Wait, don't drive forward! Something's not right here!"
