Chapter 288: Page 288

If I can't take good care of a one-on-one, it's even more impossible to take good care of a one-to-many.

As the number of new players increases, veteran players will have to make choices when faced with danger. No one wants to be the one left behind.

"No matter how wonderful your promises were, the fact is that most of the newcomers who followed you died. If we had chosen to believe in you and follow your actions, I don't think we would have survived until now."

Several newcomers agreed very much.

They have survived until now thanks to their own strength and luck.

If I had followed the old players from the beginning, I would probably have been wiped out and become one of the strange infected people.

"The Paladin brought the injured Jack back. He did take care of his companions and did not abandon them. But what about the newcomer? Did the Paladin choose to save Jack and abandon the newcomer?"

"Because the newcomers don't have much strength, if you save the old players, they can use items to recover from their injuries and become a fighting force, but the newcomers are just a burden, and it's not worth it for the Paladins to take a huge risk to save them."

Compared to old players, newcomers don't have much value.

Even if the newcomers present did not want to admit it, they knew that this was an indisputable fact. If he were the person involved, he would of course give priority to saving the old players and give up the newcomers.

But they are newcomers now, and they don’t want to be the ones who are abandoned at all.

"It was just me and Jack at the time."

The Paladin immediately explained, "If there is a new person to act with, I will not abandon him."

As soon as Lin Ye heard it, he knew that the Paladin had fallen into this woman's 'self-proof' trap.

"Of course you can say that now, but no one can verify it. At the beginning, you also said that we should believe you, but the two players who chose to believe you are dead. They were killed by the old players. They must have regretted it very much before they died!"

Lin Ye looked at Sawada Yoriko and guessed that this woman wanted to gain the right to speak.

Through a series of rhetoric, they make the old players believe that they have done something wrong and have not fulfilled their promise, in order to get them to give more protection.

But this woman got one thing wrong.

The right to speak has never been based on public opinion and morality, especially in this weird game of death, strength is the foundation.

"You don't trust us? I can assume so!" Lin Ye said slowly.

"Yes, if most of the new players who followed you survived, my distrust of you would mean that I was stupid and retarded. I made a mistake in judgment and made the wrong choice."

Sawada Yoriko continued, "But in the end... Rina was the only new player left alive. Of the seven new players who chose to trust you, only one survived. With such a small number... How can you expect us to trust you?"

"How did these new people who followed you die in these three hours? We don't know. No one knows except you."

Lin Ye looked at Fujilin Xing,

The girl thought for a moment and said, "I thank you for saving my life, but I believe in my friend. Before you rescued me, it was because I followed Yi-chan that I survived to that moment. She took the initiative to take the risk when there was danger. She didn't do anything to let me down. I am willing to believe her."

"what about you!"

The three newcomers remained silent; they had expressed their thoughts silently.

"Hmph," Lilith snorted coldly. She hated this woman very much.

"You are obviously an old player, why didn't you show up in the first place?"

"I think the chance of dying if I follow the old players is too high, so it wouldn't be wrong not to show up!"

Lilith looked at the look in the woman's eyes and wished she could swing the fire axe in her hand and kill her.

Lin Ye spoke up at this time to break the silence, "Since you don't trust us, then the solution is very simple."

A smile appeared in Sawada Yoriko's heart.

Her purpose was about to be achieved.

"You are dismissed."

Yoriko Sawada: ???

roll?

Instead of promising protection, instead of providing medicines and weapons?

This is totally unexpected! Sawada Yoriko looked at Lin Ye in shock, with an expression of disbelief on her face.

Lin Ye looked at the other three newcomers and said, "If you want to leave, you can leave now. We will never stop you and will never let you become our bait or sacrifice for self-protection."

Lin Ye said calmly, without a trace of joking in his words.

For a while,

All the newcomers stood still, their minds went blank for a short while.

leave here?

They all knew how dangerous this final stage was. From the information revealed in the fragmentary exchanges between old players, they knew that in this final stage, one could not survive by simply hiding, but had to confront the strange entity head-on.

Leaving at this time is tantamount to death. No one wants to leave!

"Get out of here,"

Lilith said immediately, "Do you really think I am willing to take care of you, a bunch of burdens?"

"I don't want the little points and ratings from the reviews. By the way, if you leave, you might get infected and become strange, which will only increase our pressure."

With a swish, Lilith drew her axe and said, "I might as well kill you all here and chop you into pieces, so that you won't mutate into strange infected bodies."

The blonde loli took a step forward, and the fire axe made a roaring sound.

The three newcomers retreated one after another, and one of them almost fell down.

Lilith was very satisfied, and immediately looked at Sawada Yoriko, "Get lost, what are you still standing here for? Get as far away as you can, stay here, and when the strange entity comes, I will push you out as bait immediately."

Yoriko Sawada pursed her lips and stared at Lilith.

Judging from the current changes in the strange body's actions and the information released in its broadcasts, it is really impossible to deal with the strange body in its final stage by ourselves.

A little girl ghost chased her all the way and almost killed her.

And how many strange entities are left?

One original strange experimental subject and at least 10 strange infected bodies.

How to survive this?

Yoriko Sawada never thought that she could survive the last half hour on her own.

"You are driving us away now because you want us to reduce the pressure from the strange body."

Yoriko Sawada stared at Lin Ye, trying to put pressure on him to change his mind.

"You're right, that's what I think, so, everyone, hurry up and find a place to hide, so that you can share the pressure for us."

Lin Ye accepted this explanation directly.

"..."

Yoriko Sawada was dumbfounded.

This attitude of lying down and not giving any explanation made her realize that both parties were not on an equal footing.

It was these players who had no strength and now needed to rely on the protection of the old players. They had no right to negotiate with the old players. Morality? When the old players were not prepared to talk about morality, could they still put moral pressure on them?

Yoriko Sawada was depressed. She thought that her previous series of speeches could convince the old players and arouse their guilt, causing them to make concessions and provide more protection, resources and weapons.

The three new players didn't move either. If they were asked to leave, they certainly wouldn't want to. By now, if they didn't follow the old players, the probability of death was too high.

"No, why don't you leave? Hurry up and leave! Don't be an eyesore here. When the strange body comes, I will be the first to send you to it to feed it."

Lilith laughed hard.

At this moment, she was happy. She made the red-haired woman so sharp-tongued and liked to criticize. Now you understand! The initiative has always been in the hands of these old players. What's the point of talking without strength?

Sawada Yoriko finally looked at the Paladin, but the Paladin kept silent. This made Sawada Yoriko even more depressed. The Paladin, who had the most noble character, did not speak. He was really irritated by her.

"I will count to ten. If you don't leave, you will be deemed to stay here. You will need to obey my orders in the following battles. If anyone doesn't listen or doesn't want to behave decently, I will help him behave decently."

Lin Ye said coldly, he stretched out his finger and said slowly,

"one,"

"two,"

The number ten arrived quickly.

Anne Fujibayashi looked at Yoriko Sawada, waiting for her friend to make a decision, and then she followed Yoriko Sawada.

But until the end, Yoriko Sawada did not say a word. She knew that she could not leave in this final stage. The probability of death after leaving was too high, and the possibility of surviving the final stage alone was almost zero.

"Nine……"

"Ten, everyone has made their choice, so... final reminder, don't let me down, who dares to let me down..."

Shua! The sword flashed with cold light, full of murderous intent. Lin Ye stared at the newcomers with a sharp gaze.

No newcomers answered.

They were in a dilemma, but silently accepted the fact that they could not leave, because leaving would mean death.

"Humph."

Lilith snorted again.

I know these newcomers don't dare to leave.

I don't believe them, but I don't dare to leave! Trash, garbage, just talk but no action.

Lin Ye did not continue to take care of the newcomers, but started to count the supplies.

"Including the potion that you, the Paladin, didn't use, we have a total of five suppression potions here. I'll give one to Jack and one to Lilith."

Lin Ye distributed the two inhibitory potions in his hand.

The second is cold weapons.

The short knife, fire axe, katana, dagger, and mace are all weapons produced by dungeon missions and are lethal to strange creatures.

The mace was brought back by the Paladin.

"Give me the fire axe," said Jack, who was used to the weight of the weapon and found it more powerful in chopping.

"I'd rather stick with this short sword!"

Lin Ye looked at Lilith, waiting for the blonde to make a choice.

"I...you choose first!"

Lilith gave the choice to Lin Ye.

"This is the katana!"

Lilith looked at the mace. This weapon was very impressive.

The little blonde girl was waving her mace, making a sharp sound.

"It's a bit heavy, I can't swing it more than a few times, I'd rather use a dagger!"

"I……"

Sawada Yoriko suddenly spoke at this time,

Lin Ye's voice spoke again, "Put the mace aside for now! Put it in the storage compartment so you can use it when you need it."

Hoshino Ai is not suitable for fighting with weapons.

"Uh, uh-huh."

Just like that, Lilith put the mace into the player's own storage compartment.

Sawada Yoriko was silent.

What else could she say?

If you say that you give her the weapon to use, does that mean she is also a veteran player?

The old players definitely don't trust her.

The only person in the whole place who could trust her was Fujibayashi An, but that didn't mean much at the moment.

"Can you use a pistol?"

Because the Paladin also brought back the same model of magazine pistol bullets, the pistol that had run out of bullets could be put to good use again.

"I have been in contact with it,"

Lilith took over and operated it skillfully.
