Chapter 12

The young man's voice was trembling, but just after he said this, the task of [Exploring Walmart] in front of Shen Cheng had just started to run and the progress had reached 10%. Suddenly, the elder next to him said: "You think you have Will he let you go if he says everything? Don't forget, you also have a share in all this!"

The young man's voice stopped.

He swallowed, looked carefully at the sharp edge of the knife in front of him, and said in a low voice: "...I, I am very afraid, or would you promise me to spare my life? This plant is really powerful, it is ours The brainchild, it took several years in our yard to cultivate it like this... If you destroy half of it, you may still be able to live. If you promise me to spare my life, I will give it to you. tell you everything."

"???" Shen Orange swallowed in front of the screen.

In the game, Li Weilan also seemed to stop.

The game stopped. A game option popped up in front of Shen Cheng:

[The young researcher uses his life as a bargaining chip to exchange with you for clues about 'unknown plants'. please choose:

A. Promise him and let him go

B. Don't agree to him and kill him

C. Ambiguous, let's talk after listening]

"???" This is embarrassing my fat tiger.

Shen Cheng looked at the frozen screen and couldn't help but hesitate.

Speaking of choosing A, looking at so many dead faces on the tree, it is estimated that these two have committed a lot of crimes. Even someone like her who is not good at intrigues with others knows that if she chooses A and then learns about the evil things these two have done, she will probably uninstall the game.

Choose B, it is obvious that this task cannot be carried out. Although exploring Walmart is a daily task, Zizai has worked hard to push the progress of the mission to this point. Is it unfair to Zizhai that Guangguang destroys the mission because of her moral values?

However, option C is the most unclear and ambiguous among several options written...how ambiguous?

Shen Cheng hesitated for a while, and finally chose C according to her heart.

When Li Weilan heard the young researcher say these words, she actually felt very funny.

He originally wanted to refuse when he heard it, but at this moment, a soft and gentle voice suddenly sounded in his ear, but it seemed to have an irresistible voice: "Promise him."

It's a female voice!

woman?

Turned out to be a woman?

Even, judging from the soft background of this voice, the speaker is still a young, gentle and good-looking woman!

At this moment, all Li Weilan's previous guesses about the mysterious man collapsed.

All his previous estimates turned into mistakes in front of this sudden voice.

Li Weilan's eyes rolled in waves, he swept the two researchers in front of him, but saw that the young man under his knife was still waiting for his answer.

Li Weilan didn't want to go against the intention of the person who saved him, so he agreed to the young researcher's request: "Okay, I promise you, I will never kill you with my own hands."

The young researcher breathed a sigh of relief when he heard the words. He was about to say something when the older man lying underneath suddenly sneered gloomily: "Wang Tao, you can't be so naive, right? He said that he wouldn't kill you personally. Your life, won't you let you leave safely! How much you and I have done, do you think anyone will let you go if you tell me all about it?"

Not good!

Shen Cheng also knew the language trap in Li Weilan's words. At this moment, the old man made a clear statement, seeing that the expression of the young man had turned into suspicion and suspicion, and the situation took a turn for the worse in minutes. Li Weilan suddenly sneered and said, "I'm not as mean as you! If you don't worry, I swear! As long as you don't One word of falsehood, one word of deception, and I harm you in any way, I will be punished without a place to stand, and a death without a place to be buried."

Hearing him even say such harsh words, the young man kicked the old man with some resentment: forcing such a big guy to make such a vicious oath, he couldn't hold his thighs. It wasn't going to get to this point at all! It's all to blame for this old man, after doing all his bad things, he makes everyone think like him.

The older researcher groaned. Obviously, his force was not high enough. He had already said all his provocative words. Seeing that Li Weilan let go of such cruel words, he couldn't help but doubt his own judgment: Did he really see it? wrong? The man's eyes flashed just now, and it was clearly the killing intent!

Without any scruples, the young man pointed to the dying plant, and sighed with some pity: "Before the end of the world, this tree was a pitcher plant grafted in our research institute, and its late mutation direction is very Strangely, eating rotten meat, rotten meat, bones and other proteins can also produce a new food for us to eat."

Following the words of the young researcher, Li Weilan quickly understood what was going on at Walmart.

These two researchers are the researchers who are responsible for taking care of the tree. At the beginning, they just knew that there was a lot of rotten meat in the freezer of Wal-Mart. They brought the tree here and secretly fed a little every day, and then depended on it to absorb the meat that was born after it was born. A white lump they called "mana".

This plant was very aggressive at first, so they only dared to hang around in the room, occasionally bringing in two zombies to feed it, and once it had a full meal, they would have food.

But later, as the plant grows, it needs more and more nutrients.

They later discovered that once it swallowed a power user, the "mana" produced was enough for them to eat for a month. It was a kind of white, rice-like but not easy to spoil food, and it was their food for more than a year.

So... every power user who came to Wal-Mart to explore, was supplied with plants by them.

"What do you know," the older researcher laughed mockingly, "We don't just eat it ourselves, I have studied it, the food it produces has high nutritional value and is not easy to spoil, and it has a certain degree of self-protection. Ability, and seems to know our researcher, there is no malice or threat to us, isn't it the savior of mankind's future? Now you have destroyed half of it with one knife, where is a plant you destroyed, it is the future of all of us! Since you are Power user, then you are more powerful than us, you can completely attract zombies to swallow it in exchange for food, you don't have to be like us... If you have a choice..."

Before he could say anything, Li Weilan's hand flashed, and the head on his head fell. His eyes were still wide open, as if he had never guessed that his death was so sudden.

"Ah, ah, ah, teacher!" The young researcher screamed in fright. He trembled in fear and scolded, "You agreed..."

"I promised only you." Li Weilan sneered lightly.

His face turned slightly sideways, as if he was about to listen to the instruction voice just now, but that voice was short-lived, as if it was his hallucination.

The man didn't speak anymore.

Li Weilan smiled instead: Since that person didn't say anything, he must have no objection to his actions.

This is good.

The killing intent rolled in his chest, and the block was not cleared. If that person wanted to stop him from keeping his pedantic promise, he would have to part ways with her from now on, which was a pity to think about.

Right now.

A slight smile appeared on his handsome face.

Picking up the researcher with one hand, Li Weilan found some oil on the same floor. He splashed the oil on the dying tree, which seemed to be alive and breathing, and it caught fire. The tree screamed.

Harsh, sharp.

However, the faces on the tree slowly closed their eyes.

Shen Cheng looked at this scene, and then heaved a sigh of relief. Until this moment, she seemed to fully understand that this cub she raised has a more attractive heart than appearance.

For the survivors who are struggling in the last days, how tempting it is to exchange zombies for food is clear from the appearance of these two researchers.

If it is replaced by another person, maybe their lives will be saved in exchange for long-term food exchange. But in that case, how can the dead souls on the tree rest in peace? Does the blood debt of the past need not be repaid? This tree eats carrion, but if the carrion runs out, will it eat a living person? Ethically, the mana eaten by these two researchers is almost equivalent to a living person!

Zaizai has lost something, but Zaizai's current behavior makes Grandma even more proud.

【Explore the Secrets of Walmart Supermarket: Completed】

The task prompt popped up at the right time.

【Gold Coins from this raid: 50 Gold】

【Please note: Due to the player's choice, this sweeping location will be permanently closed after 10 minutes, please exit the map within 10 minutes]

Ah, ah, ten minutes! Shen Cheng hurriedly poked Li Weilan, trying to grab the villain and run around the supermarket quickly.

After Li Weilan came to this floor, the whole map can be clearly seen: there are some daily necessities on the other floors, such as towels, washbasins, clothes, etc. Anyway, there is still room for cubs to pile up, hurry up and scan ! ten minutes! Don't wait!

Li Weilan felt that someone was pushing him, and he couldn't help but smile again.

Looking back, he saw the young researcher who was squatting in front of the plant like a concubine.

The young researcher looked at the blocked door and the trees that were screaming and twisting in the fire. Only then did he realize that something was wrong, but the door was blocked so tightly that he couldn't get out.

"Little liar..." Shen Cheng poked the cub's back, looked at the villain's unmoved appearance, and mumbled softly.

Li Weilan heard it again this time.

I heard her rant.

He didn't know why, but he retorted in a low voice: "I gave them two chances, but two things are no more than three things. If I let them go today, someone will be unlucky in the future, and I will become their accomplice..." He muttered. , Halfway through speaking, he felt that his explanation was ridiculous, and he frowned in self-loathing, and stopped talking.

Shen Cheng's heart trembled as he watched bubbles bubble above his head. Poke him again.

Zaizai is not a good person! But... it seems that I like him a little bit more, what should I do?

Shen Cheng's heart skipped a beat. While desperately scanning the remaining resources in the supermarket, she couldn't help but review her cub's operations, and then she thought to herself: oh, it seems Dealing with the landlord, this operation is equally effective!
