I made myself the protagonist

Chapter 322 Newcomer
"But having said that, this human-faced tree is too ruthless. This posture is as good as you go to the men's bathhouse!" Zhao Sicheng turned his neck, which was sore after looking up for a long time, and poked his side with his elbow Wei Chongming.

"what?"

Wei Chongming was stunned for a moment, but he didn't react yet.Similarly, Ling Yun, Shen Tinglan and the others also looked confused.Until Zhao Sicheng raised his butt and patted his buttocks in a cheap way, Tang Yao laughed out loud.

"Ahem, actually this is normal in our foreign countries. Don't worry, I won't discriminate against you because of this." As expected of a foreigner who has lived in China for most of his life, Hubert got Zhao Sicheng's stalk all at once.

Ren Yao looked back and forth between Wei Chongming and Zhao Sicheng with curious eyes, as if he still didn't understand.

Instead, it was Xiaolong who quietly pulled him aside, and said cryptically, "It's okay, the child is still young and doesn't know how to be normal. Next time take a bath, stay away from that weird brother..."

Only then did the person realize what Zhao Sicheng meant, and blushed immediately, and said angrily at the fat man with a cheap face: "Fuck you, I'm a pure straight man! You are!"

"You know so much, and you still say you are not! Otherwise, every time you take a bath, you will always tell me how good the figure of brother Shen Lingyun and the others are..." Zhao Sicheng backed away again and again, refusing to show weakness at all.

Ling Yun supported Wei Chongming, and suppressed a smile: "Forget it, you two are good comrades, you should love each other and don't hurt each other."

"I really appreciate that from the bottom of my heart!"

Wei Chongming rolled up his sleeves and made a gesture to go up and beat him up: "Brother Ling, don't stop me, no one can speak well today!"

"Wei Chongming, are you stupid? Can't you tell that Ling Yun is also acting strangely? Why did you beat me up and not him? Such a double standard!" Zhao Sicheng hid behind a tree with half of his body leaking, cursing at him.

"Okay, okay, stop making trouble, there is still business to do."

Although Shen Tinglan said so, there was a smile in his eyes, and he shook his head helplessly like a parent watching a child's mischief; even Su Li, who was always indifferent, had a softened expression when he was supporting him. few.

Lin Qing watched from the side, feeling that the team in front of him was different from the ones he had encountered.

In order to survive, one must conform to the herd.Unless you are strong enough to fight against everyone, you have the capital to be unique.

But even so, when encountering a team task such as a treasure hunt game, individuals will still suffer. Ren Yao is a living example.If Ling Yun hadn't appeared, he would have died in Xiao Yi's hands long ago.

We all know that in order to survive, we must be united.

Whether it's the superiors using force to threaten and intimidate them to achieve absolute dominance, or adopting an army-like strict style and requiring players to obey orders, these are very common in space.

Even in a base that hasn't elected a leader so far, there are still multiple factions in the base.Only by uniting with other players can the probability of survival be maximized.

As for the base where he is, the current captain has added many strict regulations on the basis of his predecessors, and assigned positions, requiring members to supervise each other.If anyone violates it, they will be abandoned by everyone, or they will stumble secretly in the task, and you will disappear without a sound.

Lin Qing has long been used to these things. Although she is squeezed out because of her abilities, she also knows how to keep a low profile, obey the team's arrangements, and refrain from doing unpleasant things or offending teammates.It was also because of this that she was able to live in peace until today.

But the group of people in front of them has no class or position distinction among them. Even the captain, Shen Tinglan, always rushes to the front, and never uses his teammates to test dangerous ideas.

They trust and support each other unconditionally, and they are so united when danger comes, like a rope that is twisted together, and no one can tear it apart.

As for Ling Yun, he is well integrated into the team, and like Shen Tinglan, he is an important link connecting all members.

If the rational, mature, and calm Shen Tinglan is the core brain of the team, then the sunny and outgoing Ling Yun is the energetic heart that continuously transports fresh blood to the body.

Lin Qing could tell that everyone here liked Ling Yun very much.

Even the young Ren Yao, who always had a stern face and seemed indifferent to everything on weekdays, paid special attention to him.

Except when necessary, his eyes almost never leave Ling Yun, especially when danger comes.Ling Yun occasionally thought that the other party happened to be looking at him, and smiled at him, and Ren Yao stiffly moved his gaze away.

It's normal for a teenager to do this, after all, Ling Yun gave up the most precious freedom in the eyes of all players, and helped him revive his deceased relatives.For Ren Yao, the existence of Ling Yun is the redemption that pulls him out of the mire of hell.

Lin Qing heard from Wei Chongming, Xiaolong, and others that in previous missions, Ling Yun had repeatedly risked his own safety and rescued his companions; even for unfamiliar players who were not close own kindness.

He is a very affectionate and righteous man, he has a good reputation in the space, and he has made friends with many players from other bases.

In this hell full of intrigues, Ling Yun's existence is like a dazzling sun, emitting warm and bright light.Anyone who longs for redemption and freedom will be attracted by him, and under his influence, will face all difficulties with a positive and optimistic attitude.

This kind of Ling Yun is completely different from the cold and machine-like killer man in black with a cold and terrifying aura all over his body.

Soon, Zhao Sicheng's voice pulled Lin Qing back from his thoughts.

Although he often joked with his teammates, he was unexpectedly serious at critical moments.

Lin Qing withdrew his gaze from Ling Yun, but noticed that the girl named Tang Yao was looking at him.The other party naturally waved to her, beckoning himself to come over, as if there was something new discovered here.

"Compared to me, it's the right thing to loosen the soil for this tree first. This tree is very resentful, there must be something under it."

Zhao Sicheng raised the engineering shovel, thrust it into the soil near the tree root, and stomped hard a few times until the shovel was completely submerged in the soil.

Ling Yun and Wei Chongming stepped forward to take a look, and found that with the insertion of the shovel, the soil suddenly became black and damp, and an unpleasant rancid smell filled the air instantly.

Without hesitation, Zhao Sicheng quickly dug out a small hole.

What was exposed to everyone's sight was the criss-crossing tree roots, some of which were cut off by the shovel, as if human beings were injured, and a thick black liquid flowed out strangely.

Hubert checked and verified everyone's guess: it was indeed blood.

Wei Chongming swallowed, and looked at his companions beside him.

"Keep digging, carefully avoiding the roots, and don't destroy them."

Ling Yun regained his seriousness, picked up the shovel and joined the ranks of digging the pit.Digging a hole is a big project, and everyone started working one after another.

Although Shen Tinglan's physical fitness is not bad, it is not suitable for strenuous exercise before the wound scabs.Su Li helped him sit on the edge of a stone not far away, put down the water and medicine, and told him to rest well.

Shen Tinglan was a little helpless, because the wound on his back was still burning hot, so he didn't insist anymore, but obeyed everyone and waited aside.

Of course, sitting still wasn't his style.After a while, Shen Tinglan got up, walked to the nearby trees, picked up stones and tapped on those tree trunks, as if he was studying something.

After more than three hours, everyone had already dug a pit nearly one meter deep under the human face tree.

A piece of camouflage cloth is gradually exposed under the pit, which looks very familiar.Ling Yun accelerated the speed of swinging the shovel, and within a short while, a mass of brown, tangled hair was exposed under the black soil.

With everyone's efforts, soon, the foul-smelling soil was dug up, and two corpses covered with tree roots appeared in everyone's field of vision.

The corpses were a man and a woman, about the same age, they seemed to be in their twenties at most.

Among them, the female corpse is less than 1.6 meters tall and looks very petite; the male corpse is thinner and about 1.7 meters five in height.It is worth noting that both of them were wearing the uniforms of the Forest Survey Team.

The death of the two looked extremely tragic, with deeply sunken eye sockets, muscle atrophy all over the body, and dark brown skin and flesh clinging to the bones, looking like two mummies.

What's even more frightening is that the densely packed tree trunks were inserted into the corpse like conduits, and two thick tree roots penetrated the mouth of the corpse. The two of them seemed to have been drained of nutrients, so they became so shriveled.

Ling Yun carefully touched the root of the tree with a shovel to confirm that there was no danger, before stepping forward to uncover one of the corpses.When they saw the backpack under the body, everyone's expressions changed.

　Ladies and gentlemen, Happy International Women's Day!Although there is no half day off today QAQ
