Volume 3: Death in Progress Chapter 039: Things I Don’t Know
Zhang Fengyu had no idea at this moment that the Grim Reaper's scythe was just about to fall on his head. He suddenly felt a shock in his head and his consciousness immediately became blurred. Zhang Fengyu was not unfamiliar with this feeling, as he had this feeling when he completed the novice mission and returned to the Death Base.
"Have I completed the mission?" When this question arose in Zhang Fengyu's mind, he had already appeared in the carriage of the Death Base, and his originally severed limbs were now rapidly growing new flesh and blood.
“I survived!!!”
When all of Zhang Fengyu's limbs grew back, suddenly a colorful light enveloped Zhang Fengyu. The light enveloped his body and made him feel very comfortable and warm.
"This is the cleansing mentioned in the hint, but what's the use? The false memory still exists."
The colorful light of dawn enveloped Zhang Fengyu and disappeared in less than a minute. However, Zhang Fengyu was still standing there in a daze. He didn't know how he had survived this mission, but now he was back in the Death Base. The transition between life and death made him feel so unreal, and his mind did not leave the Women's Village for a long time.
It was a long time before Zhang Fengyu was awakened by Chen Ping's voice.
"I really didn't expect it. I thought Captain Wang would survive, but it turned out to be you who survived."
There was a hint of disbelief in Chen Ping's voice. It was hard for him to imagine that in this mission, even veterans like Wang Lin and Zhang Feng had not made it successfully, but Zhang Fengyu, a newcomer who had just experienced his first formal mission, had made it safely. This made Chen Ping look at Zhang Fengyu in a different light again.
"There must be something special about Zhang Fengyu that allowed him to survive this mission. If he can satisfy me, I can sincerely treat him as a partner."
Zhang Fengyu ignored Chen Ping's words. He looked around and found that there were only him and Chen Ping in the death base. This made him feel depressed. "Are Chen Ping and I the only ones who survived? Even Brother Wang failed!"
Zhang Fengyu stopped speculating secretly. He walked a few steps to Chen Ping and asked calmly, "Did we two make it through this mission?"
Chen Ping smiled and shook his head at Zhang Fengyu. Seeing Chen Ping shaking his head, Zhang Fengyu felt relieved. He also felt that Wang Lin would not fail the mission. However, Chen Ping continued, "Besides you and me, Li Xuan also survived. As for the others, they can't come back because the car has already left!"
After hearing Chen Ping's words, Zhang Fengyu still looked out the window in disbelief, but it was just as Chen Ping said, the train had already started moving, which meant that this mission had been completed and the train was heading towards the location for the next mission.
"Since Big Brother Wang is dead! This..." After confirming Chen Ping's words, Zhang Fengyu suddenly lost the excitement and excitement of completing the mission and surviving. Wang Lin's death was a blow to Zhang Fengyu, not only because of Wang Lin's previous care for Zhang Fengyu and Wang Lin's own excellence, but also because Wang Lin was an old man who had survived 19 missions.
After experiencing this mission, Zhang Fengyu thoroughly felt the horror and cruelty of this mission. The reason why he was able to survive can be said to be his luck that helped him, but can such luck last for 19 times?
Zhang Fengyu had previously believed that Wang Lin would definitely be able to gather 100 health points and escape the curse, and Zhang Fengyu's goal was to survive every mission like Wang Lin, but Wang Lin actually died like this, and his nineteen efforts were instantly wiped out. Zhang Fengyu didn't dare to think about whether he could catch up with Wang Lin's record of 19 times.
Chen Ping glanced at Zhang Fengyu, who looked grim, and sneered, "Don't pretend to feel sorry for others. Our only goal is to survive. Otherwise, why would we have to experience this horror again and again? Captain Wang's failure is a lesson for us. We must not be careless in every mission. Experience is just a kind of accumulation. It cannot be a bridge for us to complete the mission."
Hearing Chen Ping's sarcasm, Zhang Fengyu glanced at Chen Ping coldly and responded sarcastically: "Yes, our goal is simply to survive, but I will survive through my own efforts, instead of using others as stepping stones to survive like you do!"
"Zhang Fengyu!"
When Chen Ping heard what Zhang Fengyu said, he couldn't help but stand up in anger, but he controlled his emotions and sat down again. However, his expression became much uglier than before, and it was obvious that he was very angry about what Zhang Fengyu said.
"Zhang Fengyu, whatever you say, I hope you can live uprightly as you said. I will be watching from the sidelines."
"Of course I will live an upright life. If you want to watch, you can. I just don't know if you can survive until then!"
"you……"
"enough!"
Just when the two were about to argue more and more fiercely, Li Xuan suddenly walked out of the room and interrupted them.
Zhang Fengyu turned his head to look at Li Xuan. Zhang Fengyu found that Li Xuan's face was extremely pale and her eyes were full of red bloodshot. Her elegant temperament in the past now seemed haggard to him.
Zhang Fengyu didn't know what happened to Li Xuan in that man's village, so he thought in his heart that Li Xuan was probably like him and had not completely recovered from the mission.
When Chen Ping saw Li Xuan coming out, he stopped arguing with Zhang Fengyu and asked, "Has the captain's handover been completed?"
"Handover of captain?" Zhang Fengyu couldn't help but show his confusion when he heard Chen Ping's question. He didn't know that the position of captain could be handed over and inherited. He thought that the captain was randomly selected from people who had performed tasks more than three times.
Li Xuan nodded and replied calmly: "The handover is complete. From now on, I will be the new executive captain. Except for explaining the matters that newcomers need to pay attention to, all the other rules set by Captain Wang before are invalid, including the prompt analysis before the mission!"
After hearing this, Chen Ping said to Li Xuan, "Isn't it the captain's fault that you knew the new mission prompts in advance? It's okay if you don't make an analysis in advance, but you have to tell us after you know the new prompts."
Li Xuan nodded and agreed: "That's no problem. Do you have any other questions, Zhang Fengyu?"
"No."
Zhang Fengyu had always been against analyzing the hint before the mission began, so now that Li Xuan had directly invalidated it, it was exactly what he wanted.
Seeing that Zhang Fengyu had no questions, Li Xuan glanced at Chen Ping and asked, "I think Zhang Fengyu is qualified to know more. After all, even Captain Wang failed in this mission, but he survived."
"I have no opinion!"
Seeing that Chen Ping agreed, Li Xuan said to Zhang Fengyu: "Come to my room later. There are some things you didn't know before, but now you are qualified to know them."
Li Xuan walked back to the room after she finished speaking, but Zhang Fengyu was confused by the conversation between Li Xuan and Chen Ping: "Am I qualified to know? What exactly is it? Is it about the wanted mission or this death base? Could it be the truth about this curse?"
Zhang Fengyu now had a lot of questions in his mind, but he did not go to Li Xuan's room immediately. Instead, he conjured up his own room with a thought. He needed to be alone for a while. He felt very confused and messy. If he was not quiet, he felt his nerves would collapse.
