Calamity Island: Endless Trials

Chapter 168 The Lies Everyone Needs
"Unfortunately, at this point, I can't do anything." Tang Jiumin said, "But as long as we enter the trial, there will be many things beyond our control, and we cannot avoid them."

"I'm sorry, I won't stop, but you should be mentally prepared. I hope you will do what you have to do. Is it okay?"

When Tang Jiumin said this, his eyes kept falling on the other person's face, not letting go of a single detail.

Li Changfu nodded slowly.

"No problem, I know, death is a matter of time for those of us who are in trials."

Having said this, Li Changfu suddenly showed a relaxed smile, a genuine smile from the heart.

"And I won't hide it from you, and I'm not afraid of your jokes. My wish has been fulfilled."

"In the apartment, you can spend a certain amount of Nian Jing to check the situation of your family members in the world before you were alive. I reduced the amount of Nian Jing that was exchanged for bullets and medicine, and exchanged it once."

"Do you know? Calamity Island has passed 15 days, but the world before our death has passed longer. Although I don't know exactly what happened, when I went back, three months had passed."

When Li Changfu smiled, there were obvious wrinkles at the corners of his eyes.

"My child, the college entrance examination is over and he has gone to college. He is a good student and works very hard."

"I went to the black mine before and worked hard just to help him go to a good university. Now that I see the child becoming angry, I feel so happy that I can't express it."

While talking, Li Changfu's chatterbox opened up.

"In the past few years, I have been working in a black mine, and I can't straighten my waist. In the end, I was trapped to death in the mine. Fortunately, my wish finally came true..."

"Let me tell you, my son is working very hard, but I'm to blame for not giving him a good study environment from the very beginning. His foundation is worse than other students. He has been repeating the study for two years, and his grades are not satisfactory."

"But this time I finally managed to breathe a sigh of relief and was admitted to a good university. I am so happy."

"Now, although I can't go back, I believe that my wife will be fine with the child. That kid will be more promising and dignified than his father!"

Tang Jiumin listened quietly, with strange eyes.

Next to him, Liu Ziyun couldn't help but say, "You are a good person, you should continue to live."

Faced with Liu Ziyun's regret, Li Changfu picked up the cigarette again, took a deep breath, and the pungent smell entered his mouth and nose, making Li Changfu feel that he is still a normal person at this moment.

"Officer Liu, you don't need to comfort me." He waved his hand: "What's the use of living longer, can you really survive 66 trials and go back? Impossible."

"I'm old, I'm a little cautious, don't be angry."

"I've traveled all over the camp, and I've asked all the necessary questions. I didn't go home after surviving 66 trials."

"That's when I understood that you just lied to deceive us, in order to give us the motivation to live."

"So, even if I knew about it, I didn't tell anyone else."

Liu Ziyun was stunned.

He couldn't help turning his head to look at Tang Jiumin, and the other party's eyes happened to meet.

Unexpectedly, Li Changfu knew about it a long time ago, and he didn't tell anyone else.

But Tang Jiumin was not as shocked as Liu Ziyun, on the contrary, he was very calm.

"No wonder, I was thinking at the time, the others haven't been out for too long, but you have been in the camp for so long, you should already know the truth of what Liu Ziyun said."

"It seems...Officer Liu has to thank you very much, otherwise there would be fewer people who survived now."

Li Changfu smiled, "I can't help it. I'm getting older, so I'm always more cautious, especially when I heard that there was still hope of going back. At that time, I really wanted to leave smoothly."

"However, I am afraid that the hope is false. After all, I have been deceived too many times in my life, so I can only go and see for myself."

For a while, the three of them were silent.

"Passengers, please pay attention, the train is about to arrive at the station, please prepare to get on the train..."

Just when the three of them didn't know what to say, a radio reminder came from the depths of the subway tunnel. At the same time, the same voice came from the radio on the basement floor.

The subway is coming in.

I didn't expect... time flies so fast.

Liu Ziyun looked at Li Changfu again, his expression suddenly changed, and his expression began to become sad.

He took half a step forward and patted Li Changfu's shoulder hard, "...I'm sorry, I'm sorry for deceiving you. There is no such thing as surviving 66 trials."

Li Changfu didn't take it seriously and shook his head.

The cigarette in his hand was more than half burned, and a piece of ash with sparks fell out.

"It's normal if you don't have one. After all, you only have one life. How can you go back when you say you want to? It's not a living Hades who brought the dead back to life. Even the Hades may not be able to do it."

"It's stolen now. For better or worse, at least my wish before I die has been fulfilled."

As he spoke, Li Changfu slowly stood up and extinguished the cigarette in his hand.

He walked slowly and step by step towards the subway platform.

This is Li Changfu's last journey.

All eyes focused on Li Changfu and followed him as he moved.

What an irony.

For Li Changfu, this is a journey into the abyss.

But other people are different. If Li Changfu succeeds, they will become safer.

Darkness and light, the same place is completely different for people on both sides.

Suddenly, Li Changfu stopped, turned around and spoke loudly.

"You must work hard to survive. I have traveled all over the camp. It is said that some people have survived 66 trials and returned to the original world. Since they can go back alive, then some of us can do it."

"I don't have a chance, go for it!"

click, click, click...

For a moment, this space seemed terribly quiet, and the sound of Li Changfu's footsteps stepping down the platform was amplified infinitely.

Every now and then, Li Changfu walked to the middle of the platform and stopped. The lights on the platform were too bright, so that he had to squint his eyes slightly.

He knew that this was the aftereffect of his being infected by the virus, so he rubbed his eyes, stood quietly,

It's just that, as a bait, Li Changfu's current mood is not as calm as it appears on the surface. On the contrary, a feeling of anxiety and excitement fills his whole brain.

Hmm...Maybe the two sips of wine just now were too strong, Li Changfu said to himself in his heart.

He understands very well that this is a mortal task, and it is inevitable to be anxious and afraid, so he uses the method of drinking to strengthen himself.

It seems to work well.

At least now, when he thinks about what he is about to do, he is very excited, and even trembles involuntarily.

Maybe it's fear, maybe it's excitement.

Who knows?At least not yet.

There was the sound of the subway running in the distance.

Li Changfu on the platform and other people in the dark looked towards the direction of the subway at almost the same time.

For some reason, everyone felt an inexplicable sense of depression.

Soon, the subway slowly slowed down and stopped on the side of the platform.

However, everyone's breathing is also stagnant.

Because just as Tang Jiumin expected, the inside of the carriage was densely packed with zombies.

Moreover, these zombies are not ordinary zombies at all, they are all mutant zombies!
Just looking at it makes people feel a lot of pressure!
In the dark, many people looked at Tang Jiumin, because...he guessed right again!

But in the face of so many mutated zombies, the one who felt the deepest was none other than Li Changfu on the platform.

Because just before the subway stopped, he saw a very special zombie that he had seen once before.

That white zombie with human intelligence.

Li Changfu was not surprised.

Because before he entered the platform, Tang Jiumin had told him that if he guessed correctly, among the zombies that came, there must be the white zombie from before.

Because it is the "mastermind" of the zombies, a zombie that has evolved a very high intelligence and can control the actions of the entire group of zombies.

And this kind of mastermind seems to have a certain distance limit for manipulating zombies, otherwise there is no need to appear around the army, which will only increase the danger.

Li Changfu looked at where the white zombie was, and took out a piece of white cloth.

The next second, he raised the white cloth with his left hand and waved it vigorously towards the subway.The right hand pointed to his own wound, constantly signaling something.

In fact, when doing these things, Li Changfu was very unconfident.

Because he didn't know if it was useful to do this, but he believed that Tang Jiumin was definitely not a person who wasted his efforts, and his analysis and predictions were all realized.

Waving the white cloth, Li Changfu couldn't help recalling what Tang Jiumin said just now.
"Remember, when you do this, your movements must be large and strange enough, because the zombie in front of you is full of curiosity, and it will be full of curiosity about everything that does not conform to common sense."

"It did evolve a high IQ, but it's just a brand new species, and the memory of human beings before was more of a shallow memory."

"When you make some strange movements, he will probably stop the mutated zombies under him so that they can observe your behavior."

"That's something we're going to take advantage of."

"A lot of times, curiosity doesn't just kill the cat."

The subway stopped, the carriage door opened, and those mutated zombies rushed out.

As soon as they got off the platform, they opened their bloody mouths and rushed towards Li Changfu!

Facing this terrifying scene, Li Changfu subconsciously wanted to retreat, but out of his high trust in Tang Jiumin, he forcibly held back.

In the middle of the platform, Li Changfu's forehead was dripping with sweat, but he kept Tang Jiumin's words in mind.

He stood on the spot, his whole body tensed, and he waved the white cloth mechanically and stiffly.It's just that the movement has obviously become sluggish.

Are you going to die?
I didn't expect that I still didn't come in handy.

Disappointment filled Li Changfu's heart.

But suddenly, something unexpected happened.

The group of mutated zombies that rushed up was almost in front of Li Changfu, but they all stopped in unison, then dispersed, and surrounded the latter.

Not only that, but the group of zombies gave way to a passage.

A road from Li Changfu and the interior of the carriage.

On the opposite side is the white zombie mastermind.

Unknowingly, Li Changfu stopped waving the white cloth and looked at the zombie mastermind.

Compared with those mutated zombies, this zombie looks more human-like in appearance, without any outstanding external features, and looks less terrifying than the zombies next to it.

But Li Changfu didn't dare to be careless, and stared at the other party vigilantly.

This is the mastermind who controls the entire zombie army. He is not a wild beast, but an intelligent life form.

Thinking of this, Li Changfu's eyes were full of vigilance, but at this moment, something even more unexpected happened
"Human, what exactly do you want to do? Do you want to surrender? You should know that we and you have been absolute opposites from the very beginning. Once you have the opportunity, you may wish to eradicate us completely."

"So, I do not accept surrender."

"However, I'm curious, why do you want to surrender like this, and what do you want to do?"

"Also, what happened to the shield and iron arm in your hand?"

Sure enough, although the zombie mastermind stated that it would never accept surrender, in the end, its words revealed expectations.

It seems that, as the leader said, the other party has a very strong curiosity.

It was at this time that Li Changfu discovered more details that could be used by him.

The intelligence of this zombie mastermind was higher than Tang Jiumin imagined.

Moreover, it has some memories from the past, not just instinct.

In its gradually recovering memory, the shield and the mechanical arm should be things that have never appeared before.

But the zombie mastermind can actually judge the advancement of these two things. Humans shouldn't... have the ability to make them?

"You don't know those things?" Li Changfu's eyes flashed, and he continued following the other party's words, "You don't know how they come from?"

"I want to know! I can tell you the truth, but you must ensure my safety!" Li Changfu started to act according to Tang Jiumin's explanation while speaking.

"And" when he was speaking, Li Changfu deliberately made a particularly excited gesture, and quickly took two steps forward, leaning forward while walking.

"Look!"

"On my arm!"

The zombie mastermind looked at it, and immediately showed a clear look.

That was the wound left by their own kind, and it seemed that the human being in front of him would become a new life just like them.

Sure enough, Li Changfu said excitedly, "I may become an existence like you at any time, and that's why I came here!"

"If you want to know where they come from, yes, but I need you to make sure that I can keep the memory after I become like you!"

The zombie mastermind suddenly realized.

It finally understood why the human being in front of him was standing outside the subway, holding a white cloth in his hands to surrender.

It was for this.

The zombie mastermind felt that the human beings in front of him were too naive.

Preserve the memory of human beings?Existence like it, so far, the zombie mastermind has not found a second similar kind.

Their existence depends on the speed of evolution, and only those who are unique in a million can stand out.

When the zombie thought of this, he couldn't help but feel a little proud.

But at the same time as it was proud, it failed to notice Li Changfu's excited forward movement in the first place.

Because, it was completely attracted by Li Changfu's words.
