Volume 9: Star Cave Chapter 8 Second Night
"Of course, I'm resisting unequal oppression!" the slave said stubbornly, enduring the pain.
"You sold yourself to me as a slave voluntarily because you had no other choice. I spent a lot of money to pay off your debt. You owe me much more than that." Dengfa was extremely angry.
He didn't care about the money he spent because he had plenty of it anyway.
What he cared about was that he had been betrayed and his authority was being challenged.
This was something he could not tolerate as a Delan.
“How can the freedom of life be measured by money!” The man was also very tough, and then turned his eyes to the wool.
"What we really need now is unity, right? You don't want to see internal problems because of some people oppressing others."
"Are you threatening me?" However, unlike what one might imagine, Mao Xian did not support the slave.
"I know your mentality very well. You are trying to use the safety of the team as your own amulet, and then use it to get rid of your own slave status."
"Although I don't like slavery, I dislike your behavior of kidnapping other people's lives even more."
Yarn is really experienced.
He has traveled through the universe for many years and has seen many things happen and unfold, as well as their tragic endings.
When disasters occur, most of them are caused by the disruption of order.
Especially since their current team was originally formed temporarily, it is not the right time to pursue teamwork.
Asking individuals to give up their own interests for the so-called benefit of the team is where problems really arise.
Perhaps, by working as a team today and satisfying the slave's demands, there is a great possibility that he will continue to use this to gain benefits for himself in the future.
For example, he is now a slave and has no property. Even if he becomes free, it will be difficult for him to survive in the outside world.
In this case, since he has a grudge against Dengfa, will he ask Dengfa for compensation on the grounds of "compensation"?
Therefore, the best way to maintain stability for this kind of temporary team is to maintain its original order, even if this order is slavery.
as well as……
Get rid of the troublemaker!
Mao Xian suddenly made a move, and a large number of threads spread out from his body, tying up the leading slave.
He glanced at the Dengfa next to him, then twisted the thread and cut it into several pieces.
"I think you will get what you want after this is over."
"Before life, put everything else aside ."
"The first thing we have to fight for is only life."
Life has infinite possibilities, and this is exactly the truth that wool embraces.
With Mao Xian's action, the restless atmosphere within the team finally settled down a little.
Then everyone else did their own thing and continued to look for something hidden in this space station.
Finally, a secret compartment was found in a corner.
After opening the secret compartment, a corpse fell out of it.
"This is an Andreessen." It was Dengfa again. After observing the corpse, he immediately gave the general information of the corpse without even looking at the combat armor database.
"People of this race are capable of drastic changes in body shape."
"They also have the ability to converge energy fluctuations. They are a natural assassin race."
What Dengfa didn't say next was that he had such a slave in his hometown, who was currently being kept as a specimen.
He now knew very well that although Mao Xian became the temporary captain because of his rich experience, he had the most people in the space station.
He had brought more than twenty slaves with him, but of course there were only nineteen left.
Together with Lu Bai, Yu Hui and others, the people on his side accounted for half of the team.
This situation can easily arouse public anger.
Especially since most of the slaves have now become disloyal.
This is also related to his way of controlling slaves.
They are the people of Delan, and controlling slaves basically means controlling their lives without involving their minds.
In their culture, mind control is unreliable.
As long as the slave's strength achieves a breakthrough or encounters some unexpected changes, this kind of mental slavery can be broken.
At that time, life control was still reliable.
At least they will know when the control over their lives fails.
Now, his dignity has been challenged, and many of these slaves have begun to have other ideas.
In this situation, his behavior is likely to cause unrest among these people, so he must be careful about his words and actions.
Then, someone checked the body and through some of the items it carried, they learned that this body was most likely someone who came to explore the cemetery.
After further examination, it was discovered that the cause of death was due to lack of energy in the body.
Simply put, they starved to death.
Not far from this secret compartment is a food-making machine that can produce most common foods.
"So, could there be something wrong ?" another huge fat man, who was holding a large plate of food and eating, asked.
"I don't know. It's possible that there was some danger outside that made him afraid to come out, so he starved to death."
"But it also shows that his approach provides a certain level of security."
"After all, everyone else is missing, and he's the only one who left a body behind."
Many people speculated on the specific source of the danger in this space station.
At the same time, some people said because of this depressing atmosphere: "Could it be that the prompt in the control room is a trap?"
"The existence behind this does not have the ability to kill us in one go."
"So this is how we divide our forces."
"Maybe it's using the footsteps to scare us so that we stay in the room and don't leave, so it can target each room and defeat them one by one."
The more this person spoke, the more certain he became. This was a way to relieve his own inner fear.
"It is indeed possible, but are you willing to break the rules and try to confront 'it' head-on tonight?" At this time, a person next to him sneered at this statement.
The two almost got into a quarrel, but Mao Xian chose to stop them, and that was when it all ended.
Seeing this, Lu Bai saw the problem.
That is, most people in this dimension do not have strong character.
In other words, they are not as strong as imagined. Their strength is basically the accumulation of various potions.
Therefore, even if each of them is at the surface level, in terms of mentality, they are probably not much different from the veterans, or even worse.
In other words, in this dimension, many people have not actually experienced much, and the surface level is just the beginning of their experience.
After all, in an interstellar war, apart from being cannon fodder, before reaching the surface level, one can't actually play a big role.
"No matter what, this feeling of mental oppression cannot be faked." Lu Bai summarized everything he had encountered recently.
That is, in this scene, the so-called "it" is hard to say whether it is a certain phenomenon or some strange life form.
All in all, at the moment when the light had problems yesterday, there was indeed a kind of aura that suddenly appeared.
This aura can directly break through a person's energy defenses, act on a person's mind, and cause great mental pressure on that person.
Up to this moment, this pressure has only weakened but has not dissipated.
Regarding this point, if Lu Bai himself did not have a deep understanding of spiritual desires, he would even think that the depressing atmosphere was due to his own bad mentality.
"This repressive atmosphere has been stirring up these people's not-so-strong mentalities, pushing them gradually toward extremes."
The slaves' resistance, the pursuit of racial and cultural beliefs, and even the conflict just now.
Under normal circumstances, this would most likely not happen.
However, now under the influence of the mental oppression aura, people's mentality is basically in an unstable state.
Lu Bai saw it clearly, but he did not stop it, and there was no need to stop it.
These people are mentally unstable and will help him test the truth of this "it".
Lu Bai looked at the secret compartment where the corpse was hidden, and after observing it for a while, he had a general idea.
"It's getting late, everyone go to bed early."
As he spoke, Lu Bai walked towards room number five.
Because of the movement of the planets in this star system, the nights are long and the days are short when they stay here.
After a few hours, the day ends and night begins.
The others also felt nervous, even the person who had questioned the regulations before immediately looked for his own room.
Only this time, choosing the room wasn't so harmonious.
Yesterday, there were ten rooms and fifty beds, just enough for one person.
So we moved in directly according to the plan.
However, although there are more rooms and beds today, people’s pursuit of rooms does not pay attention to yesterday’s arrangements, and they instinctively choose the rooms closer to the front.
No one even dared to live near room number nine.
Some people even almost came to blows in order to fight for the beds.
Even wool can't solve this problem well.
After all, even he couldn't say for sure whether "it" would really eliminate them from the back to the front according to the room numbers.
As for other people, they basically hold the mentality of preferring to believe it to be true rather than not.
Under such circumstances, he had no way to force some of them to live in rooms with later numbers.
In the end, Dengfa took action. He directly controlled the slaves who had joined the rebellion and made them live in Room 8.
And made a promise.
"If you can help us find out where the danger is, then after we leave alive, we will not only set you free, but we will also apply for a residence permit for you on any administrative planet, allowing you to own assets!"
As for the two extra people, they did not move into room nine, but after thinking about it, they followed everyone into room eight.
They believed what was said before, thinking that the other party might be defeating them one by one, and that more people might be able to suppress that "it"!
The second night begins, and there are currently 42 survivors.
