Volume 3 Chapter 305: Desperate Civilization
"How magical can it be?" the fat man asked with a hint of sarcasm in his tone.
"You can be resurrected after death. How magical is that?" Sancho looked at him with a smile on his face.
Feeling guilty under Sancho's gaze, the fat man stopped talking.
After all, I was already dead, that's a fact, and now I can live again, so it's not a loss at all.
"Can I have the same power as you just had?" The young man who woke up first asked directly.
Sancho's eyes suddenly lit up and he looked at the boy with admiration.
"That's right, I got my ability from the Lord God. If you want it too, just work hard to complete the task."
"What kind of mission?" the boy continued to ask.
"Call your personal panel. There should be a task record on it. Just take a look and you will understand." Sancho suggested.
So, the young man first silently read his personal panel, and instantly a panel that only he could see appeared in front of him.
Sancho caught the moment when his pupils contracted, and then the boy devoted himself to studying the task.
At the same time, the other people also silently read their personal panels, and the fat man even shouted out loud.
Then, he was startled by the panel that suddenly appeared, but then he began to study it.
"We are no longer in the original world? Is this what I understood?" The young man said after discovering more things from the panel.
"Yes, that's what you understood." Sancho smiled.
"What does it mean? Not in the original world anymore? Could it be on an alien planet?" The fat man was puzzled by the two people's riddle.
"I'm from the Republic of Domodor. Have you heard of me?" the boy asked the fat man.
"What place is that?" the fat man looked confused.
Not only him, but the other women in nightgowns and the middle-aged security guard also had a look of confusion on their faces.
"The Republic of Domodor is the most powerful country in my world, or on my planet. As long as you live on that planet, you must have heard of it." The young man said immediately.
"Are you kidding? The most powerful country in the world is obviously the Greer Federation!" The fat man finally realized something and swallowed hard. Even when he just came back to life, he had never been so nervous.
After all, although he had never seen such a thing as resurrection from the dead, he had often heard of it in various mythological stories.
But running to another planet was beyond his comprehension.
Although in reality, coming back from the dead is much more difficult than interstellar travel.
"Then, can I still go home ?" The woman in nightgown asked Sancho weakly.
"Go home? You are already dead over there, how are you going to explain that you are alive again?" Sancho asked.
Suddenly, not only the woman in nightgown, but the others also fell silent.
Their bodies are probably still in the morgues of their respective worlds, but they came back to life. It is possible that they will be taken directly to the laboratory.
"Okay, the mission is about to begin. Let's finish the mission first." Sancho reminded.
Everyone then noticed that the golden light curtain covering the surroundings had begun to fade gradually, and at the same time, the surrounding scenes became clearer in their eyes.
The eight people were currently in a city park. Not far from the park there were some pedestrians standing or walking, but now each of them was standing still as if they were under a spell.
Not only that, the boy also noticed that a leaf blown by the wind was also motionless in mid-air.
"Has the time outside been paused?" the boy asked.
"That's right." Sancho nodded in appreciation, approving of the boy's observation ability. "When the light curtain disappears completely in a while, our time flow will be synchronized with that of this world."
He could even control time. The young man silently noted this point and his evaluation of the Lord God rose to a higher level.
"By the way, I don't know your names yet. Please introduce yourselves at the end." Sancho asked as if he had just remembered.
"Shi Yang, a high school student." The boy was the first to answer.
"Pang Deyao, I'm a chef." The fat man quickly followed.
"Fat? Your name is really descriptive." Sancho said with a strange expression, until Xiaoxia next to him pinched him secretly, then he returned to normal.
The huge man had a wry smile on his face, and it was obviously not the first time that he had been teased about his name.
"My name is Feng Dong, and I'm a security guard." The middle-aged security guard also said.
After seeing several people introduce themselves, the woman in nightgown hesitated and said, "Just call me Wu Li. Do you have any clothes I can change into? This outfit is really inconvenient."
Sancho looked at Xiaoxia beside him.
Xiao Xia raised her hand expressionlessly.
The next moment, Wu Li, the girl in the nightgown, suddenly felt a chill on her body. The nightgown suddenly disappeared, but at the same time, another set of sportswear was put on her body. Although it was a bit bulky like the nightgown, at least it was something she could wear outside.
Wu Li immediately nodded to Xiao Xia with gratitude.
At the same time, the light curtain disappeared completely.
In an instant, sounds from all directions of the park came into my ears.
The chirping of insects and birds, the fragrance of fallen leaves, everything is so fresh, revealing the beauty unique to nature.
However, in this beautiful scenery, Long Ming and Wanli sensed a hint of disharmony.
"Have you noticed? Those people in front." Long Ming said to Wanli, Sangqiu and Xiaoxia.
"Why do those people look so depressed and too quiet?" Xiao Xia also realized that something was wrong.
"Anyway, let's go and take a look," said Sancho.
The others nodded as well. The four seniors made a decision and walked forward with the four newcomers.
But as we got closer, we gradually discovered that these people seemed increasingly strange.
The pedestrians walking through the park seemed normal, but their steps were stiff and their faces were expressionless. Not only was there no smile on their face, but even the two people walking together didn't talk to each other.
Everyone was silent, as if they were all mute.
"Why do these people look so creepy?" Even Xiao Xia, a veteran, couldn't stand this atmosphere.
Not to mention the four newcomers.
They may have had different ideas originally, but now the four people just want to be closer to the four seniors, because now only the four seniors can give them a sense of security.
"What's wrong with these people? Why do they look like zombies?" Wu Li asked in a low voice.
She didn't even dare to speak loudly now, for fear of alarming the pedestrians who seemed like zombies and rushing over to eat her.
"Who, who knows, it looks so creepy." Pang Deyao's fat body couldn't give him a sense of security, he even felt that he was in greater danger.
Long Ming was still frowning, thinking and observing, while walking out of the park.
Long Ming walked out, and Wanli, Sangqiu and Xiaoxia naturally followed. The four newcomers saw the veterans leaving, even though that direction was a street with more people, they still hurriedly followed.
Then as we came to the street, we saw pedestrians all over the street, hurrying along in silence.
There were probably hundreds or thousands of people on the entire wide street, but at this moment there was not a single noisy sound because no one among the pedestrians was talking to each other. Even those who were traveling together were just walking on their way in silence.
At the same time, they had expressionless faces, as if the entire street was filled with living zombies.
"Is this considered an anomaly in civilization? If we report the situation here, does that mean we have completed our mission?" Sancho felt a chill in his heart. Although he had known for a long time that there was something strange about this mission, he had not expected it to be so strange.
"Let's report it first. This place is too weird. It's better to leave early if possible." Long Ming felt that although he had overestimated this mission as much as possible before entering the mission, he might still have underestimated it, which made him a little uneasy.
At this moment, Wu Li, who was walking at the end of the group, suddenly let out a scream.
In an instant, hundreds and thousands of pedestrians on the entire quiet street turned their heads and looked in the direction of Wu Li.
At this time, Wu Li's mouth had been covered tightly by Xiao Xia, and she could no longer make any sound.
Of course, Wu Li herself realized that she had accidentally done something stupid, so even though she was shaking with nervousness, she still held back her tears.
In this tense atmosphere, even Captain Long Ming was nervous and ready to take action.
Fortunately, as Wu Li calmed down, the pedestrians turned to look at Wu Li, then slowly turned their heads away and continued to move like zombies.
Only then did Long Ming let out a silent sigh.
"Let's go and find a place to settle down first."
Then, the group quickly found a hotel nearby, checked in under the expressionless gaze of the hotel staff, and then entered the room.
It was not until then that Xiao Xia let go of the hand that was covering Wu Li.
"Yes, I'm sorry. I just made eye contact with a passerby and their eyes were so scary." Wu Li apologized quickly.
"This won't happen again." Long Ming frowned and said only this harsh word in the end.
"Captain, what is going on in this world? Why does it look so hopeless?" Sancho couldn't help but ask.
"Despair? Indeed, although I don't know why, the people in this world are as numb and desperate as the walking dead." Long Ming couldn't help but say.
"Captain, are they really still human? Have they turned into zombies?" Xiao Xia stood in front of the window, looking at the pedestrians below and the pedestrians in the distance, and couldn't help but say .
"No, they still have thoughts, but I don't know why, their thoughts seem to be trapped by something." Uncle Wanli shook his head and said.
"I also believe that they still have intelligence, otherwise they wouldn't be able to create such a civilization. But they look like zombies, without any desires. How could they create civilization? Desire is the driving force of civilization." Sancho asked puzzledly.
"Maybe they were not like this before?" Long Ming said after thinking for a while.
"Yes, maybe they were not like this before. Could it be that the reason they became like this is that unknown existence?" Sancho's eyes suddenly lit up.
"No wonder our mission this time is for us to observe and record the current status of the target civilization, and try not to attract the attention of unknown beings. So, what does it mean to attract the attention of unknown beings? We didn't attract the attention of that being just now, did we?" Xiao Xia said a little uneasily.
"Existence of that level will not notice us just because someone shouts on the street, but we also have to pay attention." Long Ming also came to the window, looked into the distance and said.
As time passed, night gradually arrived.
The street lamps outside the window are lit one by one, and pedestrians on the road are hurrying home.
Some pedestrians walked into roadside restaurants to eat, and the waiters were busy cleaning and serving food.
And it was not until this time that changes finally began to occur.
As night falls, pedestrians on the street slowly begin to become more energetic.
They are no longer the same walking corpses as they were during the day.
At least there were some noisy sounds on the street. Although everyone's faces were still numb, from time to time they would pull up an ugly smile at the corners of their mouths.
"Captain, this change seems to have occurred at night."
"Yes, at night, they seem to have a little more energy. Why is that?" Long Ming asked puzzled.
"Could it be that they are actually vampires, so they become more energetic as the night goes on?" Xiao Xia suddenly realized.
"Stop it." Sancho said speechlessly.
"I was just joking to liven up the atmosphere! But it seems that we don't need to figure out why. Isn't it enough for us to just keep a record and report it to the Lord God?" Xiao Xia said without giving it too much thought.
"Indeed, we just need to record it, but I still can't help but be curious." Long Ming sighed.
"Or maybe we can take a closer look starting tomorrow?" Sancho suggested.
"How to observe closely?" Xiao Xia asked.
"It's very simple. We can just apply for a job," Sancho replied.
"Looking for a job?" Xiao Xia was stunned.
"Yes, I see that although they don't have much energy during the day, they are still doing their jobs, just like the staff of this hotel. Just like we don't have much energy when we are working normally, and we are all forcing smiles, but it's more obvious for them, they don't even force a smile. So, if we can get into them, maybe we can find out something." Sancho said thoughtfully.
"You know what, now that you mention it, these people really do look like office workers." Xiao Xia suddenly realized.
"Well, there is a difference between office workers and zombies," Sancho corrected.
While several people were discussing how to get closer to this civilization.
Lin Xu, who was holding the civilization observation reports submitted by a large number of main god players and sent by Nanzhu, also discovered something from them.
