Chapter 2021
Tang Zhen’s words were just short of directly naming names. The despairing people naturally knew who he was referring to.
The despaired ones who had not saved their companions earlier were immediately stared at by the gazes, appearing uneasy.
They did not think that they were in the wrong. However, if the other despaired people agreed with Tang Zhen’s words, their situation would become extremely awkward and dangerous.
The previous matter might not have anything to do with them, but the next matter would be closely related. They could not pretend to turn a blind eye to it.
Tang Zhen frowned when he saw the complicated expression on the despaired people’s faces. He was not very satisfied with their reactions.
The purpose of his actions was not to sow discord, but because the journey ahead was indeed extremely difficult and dangerous.
The path that appeared in front of him was no longer narrow and rugged, but rather freakish.
Who knew what kind of lunatic the creator of this passage was to actually come up with so many tricks?
There were partitioned roads, suspended ropes, and a device that slowly rotated like a propeller.
Rather than a passage, it was more like a facility of the amusement park. The difference was that if you lost here, you would lose your life.
It was a perfectly fine path, but so many tricks had been made, which also made the process of passage even more difficult.
It seemed that this road was not only unfriendly to stowaways, but also full of malice for those who paid the pass.
In order to pass through such a path, it was necessary for the despaired to cooperate with each other. If those people with ulterior motives took the opportunity to cause trouble, who knew how many people would be killed by them?
Even Tang Zhen might be implicated. Therefore, he had to be on guard.
Those desperators had been isolated. They didn’t want to miss the opportunity to go to the high-class Street, but they didn’t want to be manipulated like this.
Especially the weapons in their hands. Even if Tang Zhen had assigned them to them, they didn’t want to hand them over.
“This is mine. No one can take it away from me. Otherwise, I’ll fight him to the death!”
As they roared in their hearts, a fierce light flashed in their eyes, but they were well hidden.
Tang Zhen did not seem to have seen this scene. Instead, he spoke to those who were in despair,”Now, tell me your choice. Do you want to go back the way you came or continue to follow us?”
Those despairing people were filled with regret. They shouldn’t have reacted so quickly back then. Even if they had been in disguise, they wouldn’t have ended up in such a situation.
At the same time that they secretly regretted in their hearts, they also hated Tang Zhen. They always felt that he was too overbearing.
This was because they didn’t want a single one of the choices given by Tang Zhen. They only wanted to carry their weapons and cross the square like the other despairing people to head to the high-class Street.
If they had weapons, at least their safety would be guaranteed. But without weapons, they were nothing.
As for going back the way he came, that was even more impossible. The journey had been full of twists and turns, and even the best memory couldn’t remember everything.
Under such circumstances, if they chose to return the way they came, it would be no different from courting death.
Therefore, even though Tang Zhen had asked them to make a choice, these despaired people were still hesitating. Their eyes were also evasive.
After seeing this scene, the desperate ones who had a clear mind began to distance themselves from these people as much as possible.
Perhaps in the next moment, there would be bloodshed, so he had to be vigilant.
However, there were still some people who were too slow to react. They were still standing beside these people, not realizing that they were in danger.
On the other hand, the isolated despaired ones noticed this scene and felt a chill in their hearts. They knew that they had no other choice at this moment.
“Our ran ran”
One of the desperators gritted his teeth and spoke in an extremely unwilling tone. He was ready to hand over his weapon and continue to follow the team.
Who knew that just as he said that, a muffled sound was heard, followed by a bullet from a magically modified hand cannon, which smashed around them.
In the violent explosion, those desperators were blown up into nothingness. The desperators standing beside them were also affected, and their bodies were covered in blood.
“You tricked your companions and still want to follow us? Who Do You Think You Are?”
“Save my Yingluo!”
The two desperators who were affected by the explosion did not die completely. They wailed and asked for help from their surroundings, but unfortunately, they received cold eyes.
idiots, everyone stay far away from them. Only a few idiots like you are standing beside them. I think you’re all in the same group, right? ”
After hearing this, the two desperators who were injured were filled with regret. They finally understood why they were attacked.
Although they were implicated, they couldn’t blame anyone else. They could only blame their stupidity.
Xiao Wu brought people up and gave the two injured some medicinal cream. As for whether they could persist until the high-class Street area, it was all up to their luck.
&Nbsp; no matter what was said, compared to those unlucky people who had been directly killed by the explosion, the two of them were already considered lucky.
As for what the dwarf had done just now, no one felt that it was too much. In fact, this was the cruel rule of the city of despair.
He didn’t understand the situation, so he deserved to be killed.
It was impossible for the dwarves to remind them to keep a distance from the isolated ones.
For one, the dwarves were too lazy to do that, and for two, their lowly status did not have any value for the dwarves to do that.
“You can sit down and rest for a while, then eat some food to replenish your strength. We may need to use some tools for the rest of the journey.”
Tang Zhen really wanted to get a large ship and directly advance in the mud. This was even simpler and more direct.
However, he could not be sure if the ship would be attacked by the skeleton monsters. If the ship sank, the lives of everyone on the ship would be lost.
Since this method did not work, he could only use the most clumsy method to pass through the path in front of him.
If it were someone else, leading hundreds of despaired people who couldn’t see the true path, it would probably have been a big mess.
This was because even with Tang Zhen’s ability, he felt as though he was walking on thin ice. There was no need to mention those ordinary despaired people.
Good things were done. Since Tang Zhen had already brought them here, he would naturally not abandon them halfway. Otherwise, these despairing people would definitely die.
...
While the other despaired people were resting, Tang Zhen manufactured items one by one and placed them in the middle of the venue.
When they saw the things that Tang Zhen had made, the despaired people had a puzzled expression on their faces. However, no one dared to ask anything.
At this moment, the only thing they had to do was to listen to Tang Zhen’s command. They would do whatever he told them to.
At this moment, everyone could clearly see that if Tang Zhen was not around, none of them would be able to pass through this strange square.
After resting for about half an hour, Tang Zhen called everyone to stand up. Then, he got them to form groups of ten and put on their specially made wooden shoes.
When moving forward, the ten of them had to cooperate with each other to ensure a smooth advance.
the reason for making these long wooden shoes was that the road in front of them was made of stone strips.
These stone strips were of different width, but the widest was no wider than one meter, and the narrowest was only about twenty centimeters.
The distance between the stones was also different. The widest part was nearly three meters. For races that were not good at jumping, it was very difficult to cross this distance.
Therefore, Tang Zhen had made such a special pair of shoes to prevent the despairing person from missing his step. At the same time, with the cooperation of the shoes, it also eliminated the trouble of jumping.
