Only me in the world is normal

Chapter 349 Knowledge is Power
"Are there still beasts in the building?"

"There are still some, basically wandering on the upper floors, the third and fourth floors below are relatively safer." Li Changhao said.

"Okay, find someone to lead the way. I'll go and clean up those beasts." Xia Yanzhen said.

"Now?"

"Now."

Li Changhao frowned slightly, thought for a while and said, "Night is not the right time. I don't know if it's because it's night, when people are quiet, it's easy to think wildly. The beast will be more active at night than during the day, and it's too dark."

The building has been cut off, and it is seven o'clock in the evening, and a few emergency lights on the first floor illuminate part of the road and rooms.

There was no light outside, and the floors above were very dark.

"You think I'm afraid of the dark?" Xia Yanzhen said, "Find someone who is familiar with the building."

"then I can."

"I need you to appease other people and don't cause trouble for me." Xia Yanzhen said.

"Leave the appeasement to Uncle Li Zhengcheng. I'm actually not suitable." Li Changhao said.

As the brains of the team, he played a very ruthless role.

For the survival of the whole, abandoned others.

In terms of trust, Li Zhengcheng is much higher than him.

Although everyone can tell rationally that Li Changhao is doing the right thing, it is more difficult to accept it emotionally.

After all, no one can be sure that they will never be abandoned.

Even if it is very useful and an indispensable role now, what if it is injured?

Sacrifice for the team, see others can.

It happened to me, no.

"Okay, come find me in five minutes." Xia Yanzhen gave Li Changhao a little time.

"How? No clue?"

After dismissing Li Changhao, Xia Yanzhen asked on the team channel.

"No, I'm still looking for it. I met a third-order desire beast at..." Tiamat announced a street sign.

"Understood, we'll talk about it when the time comes." Xia Yanzhen said, "Come back tomorrow morning, and then set out to search."

He wanted Tiamat to take this building as the center and radiate out in all directions.

Not only to find Tao E and others who may be there, but also to better understand the surrounding situation.

It's a pity that the ability of "Vision Link" is invalid.

Otherwise, Xia Yanzhen could see what Tiamat saw.

A few minutes later, Li Changhao came back: "I have already talked to Uncle Li, he should try his best to appease you and reduce other people's fear of you."

"Fear is okay, I don't care about your emotions." Xia Yanzhen said, "You shivering little lamb, as long as you are obedient."

Li Changhao nodded expressionlessly: "What should we call you?"

"Leader." Xia Yanzhen said after thinking about it.

He introduced himself as "Xia Shishi".

But as a name, people like Li Changhao dare not call it indiscriminately.

"I can leave at any time, Captain." Li Changhao said.

Xia Yanzhen saw that he had prepared an explosion-proof shield, a flashlight, and a metal bat on his back.

"Let's go." Xia Yanzhen nodded.

Naturally, the elevator couldn't be used, and the two came to the fire exit on the first floor.

Li Changhao introduced while walking: "We have already searched the second and third floors, nothing. There are still some rooms on the fourth floor that have not been visited. There are beasts on the fifth floor, which is more dangerous."

"Then go directly to the fifth floor." Xia Yanzhen said.

"it is good."

The fire escape stairs were dark, Li Changhao replied in a low voice, and proceeded in the dark.

Xia Yan really thought he was too slow, so he directly took the flashlight and turned it on, then stuffed it back to Li Changhao.

"Hurry up, I'm not afraid of attracting the attention of beasts." Xia Yanzhen said.

"Sorry, I'm used to it." Li Changhao said.

The beasts mutate from humans, and their bodies change, even in the first stage, they are stronger than ordinary people.

Coupled with the fact that they are immortal, ordinary people don't have much power to fight against beasts even if they hold weapons.

A group of survivors are walking on eggshells.

Being cautious is engraved in Li Changhao's bones.

Although a "Xia Shishi" appeared suddenly, Li Changhao would not let down his vigilance until he had truly seen the strength of the other party.

Well, even if he saw that Xia Yan was really powerful, Li Changhao would not sit back and relax because of this, and would even be more worried.

Now Li Changhao still retains a glimmer of hope to resist or escape from this person.

Soon, Li Changhao and Xia Yanzhen came to the fifth floor.

According to Li Changhao, there are occasional beasts here.

The beast has a mouth similar to a crocodile, and its bite force is amazing, it can bite through the inner wall of the building.

Weakness is slow action.

The range of activities is the five, six and seven floors. I have never gone down to the fifth floor, and I probably haven't gone up to the eighth floor.

There are also beasts on the eighth floor.

Li Changhao suspects that the body of Yushou on the fifth floor is an old man who has lost all his teeth, so he wants to have "good teeth".

Because the main body is an old man, it is relatively fragile after the beast transformation.

Xia Yan really listened for a while.

For ordinary people, speculating about the origins and specialties of Desires will definitely help them fight against Desires.

But for Xia Yanzhen...

He took out the book of sacred purification and shook it twice: "You don't need to introduce me to the origin of the beast, and the weakness you guessed. It's not important, you just need to protect yourself."

"..." Li Changhao nodded silently.

"By the way, is there a map?" Xia Yan really remembered that he still needed a real map.

"Uh—" Li Changhao thought for a while before answering, "Probably not."

The background environment of this task world, the level of technological development is similar to the real world.

With mobile phones and navigation systems, paper maps have long since disappeared from the lives of ordinary people.

It is not easy to find a detailed city map.

The one in the room was hand-painted by Li Changhao, and the locals reluctantly took a look at it for reference.

"It's best to get me one, I want to get acquainted with this place." Xia Yanzhen said.

"I try my best."

Li Changhao agreed, hesitated for a moment and then asked, "In the second stage, will Yushou recover its memory?"

"A little bit." Xia Yanzhen said, "Not all the memories, some of them are also very vague."

He made random nonsense.

Li Changhao wanted to ask again.

There was a sound of impact, and Li Changhao immediately pointed the flashlight in front of him.

He saw a figure lying on the ground and "swimming" over at a very fast speed.

This is a person, still wearing dirty clothes and pants.

Rubbing hands and feet on the ground, moving in this way is not slow.

And on the lower half of this person's face, the upper and lower jaws completely torn the skin and flesh grew out, turning into a crocodile-like mouth.

The densely packed teeth are exposed, and the upper and lower are dark red gums.

"That's it." Li Changhao said.

Compared with the time I saw it a few days ago, the appearance of this beast has changed a little.

The mouth has become larger and longer, so the way of moving has changed, and it is no longer standing and walking.

Become lying on the ground, swimming and crawling.

Instead, the speed increased.

At first glance, the sense of fear is also stronger.

Certainly not good news for the survivors in the building.

Li Changhao stepped back, blocking the explosion-proof shield in front of him, and shining the flashlight in front of him.

Let's take a look at Xia Shishi's real appearance.

Then, Li Changhao saw the other party throw out the tome that he did not know where he took out just now.

The book fell on the beast's head.

Then fell to the ground.

Almost at the moment when the book hit his head, the beast stopped moving.

It looked as if it was dead.

Xia Yanzhen walked over, picked up the sacred purification book, turned around and said to Li Changhao, "Let's go to the upper floor."

"it……"

"died."

"Dead?" Li Changhao couldn't believe it, "Didn't you faint?"

"It's dead." Xia Yanzhen held up the sacred purification book and shook it twice, "Desire is perceptual, and knowledge is rational. I use rational knowledge to fight against perceptual desire, and knowledge is power."

"..."

Faced with Xia Yanzhen's nonsense, Li Changhao couldn't even refute it, so he could only walk up with Xia Yanzhen in three steps.

It took more than 20 minutes for Xia Yanzhen to clean up all the beasts in the apartment building.

There are ten of them in total, exceeding Li Changhao's expectations.

He knew only six of them, and speculated that there might be one or two that they didn't know.

Unexpectedly, there were ten of them.

And what Li Changhao didn't expect, or incomprehensible, was the opponent's method of killing the enemy.

Use a book, drop it or even just touch it.

Those beasts died.

And Xia Shiyi's rhetoric is that desire is perceptual, and knowledge is rational.

Use rationality over sensibility.

After killing the desire of the beast, the beast that takes desire as the living condition also dies.

Except for the last sentence, Li Changhao did not recognize the rest.

But it doesn't matter whether he recognizes it or not.

"By the way, is there such a damned person in your group?" Xia Yanzhen asked on the way back.

Li Changhao was startled, and asked bravely, "Are you going to eat them?"

The other party wants to keep them in captivity as a fresh food source?
"What are you thinking?" Xia Yan said angrily, "Do I look like the kind of person who can eat people?"

"It really doesn't look like it just by looking at it." Li Changhao secretly said in his heart.

Based on Xia Shiyi's appearance, he debuted as an idol in their country, and directly acted as a team ACE, acting as a facade.

Even if the singing and dancing equipment is useless, you can still harvest a batch of leeks.

Well, a batch is almost done, and if it continues to be discarded in the future, it will slowly lose popularity.

The idol here is also very curly.

"Desire for beasts has an extraordinary interest in people." Li Changhao put it another way.

"That's right." Xia Yanzhen said.

Yushou is indeed very interested in humans, probably because it has transformed from humans?

"I am similar." Xia Yanzhen paused and continued, "But my desire is to be a good person, so you don't have to worry about me eating you.

"I'm asking this just to avoid unnecessary situations from happening and to take precautions before they happen."

"Unnecessary situation?"

Xia Yanzhen pointed to the holy book of purification in his hand and asked: "Do you think that I was able to kill the beast because of this book?"

"I'm not stupid." Li Changhao said.

Whether it is or not, he will not have any unreasonable thoughts about this book.

"Yeah, you are not. But can you guarantee that others are not?" Xia Yanzhen asked.

Li Changhao had nothing to say.

Of course he couldn't guarantee it.

Even Li Zhengcheng may have the idea of ​​snatching this book.

This is the "human feeling" of the brave, give it a go, once you succeed, you don't have to control your life and death in the hands of others.

The timid would not dare to do this.
