Chapter 244 Team formation is successful
The boy frowned more and more as he listened: "How do you know I've been to another world? Have you seen me?"
"obviously."
People who have been to other worlds are extremely cautious and vigilant.
"Not only me, but they also noticed it."
From the moment he landed, he rolled out of the circle of light and his smooth movements hidden in the darkness, everyone was already alert.
In harsh environments, competition between people will become fierce. Veterans are more aware of how difficult it is to deal with foreign objects at the bottom of the mine. Exchanging life for life is also a survival skill.
In order to avoid hitting a wall at a critical moment, veterans will use harmless little tricks to test their strength beforehand, which has become an unspoken and spontaneous behavior.
For those who are difficult to deal with, either stay away from them and choose other mines, or secretly team up with veterans and trick them at the critical moment.
Then came the 'war' between the veterans.
For example, this boy is a shining example.
Anjiu looked at Donna and Xu Shengsheng, who were leaning against each other like two little chicks in the crowd, and the hunchbacked old man stood behind them.
It was as if the three of them had formed a team.
As for the others, they stood in groups of three or four, looking for suitable targets to recruit into the team.
The boys carefully noticed that there were two to three newcomers in each team, and the other members of the team seemed to surround them in the middle, isolating them from the sight of other teams.
When will newbies become so popular...
When things go wrong, there must be a monster.
"I agree to team up with you."
Anjiu was not surprised by this, "It's a pleasure to cooperate with you."
Just when the two of them stood at the edge of the crowd, Kong Liu appeared.
He looked around and was not surprised by the behavior of the teams that had already been divided. He set up the spotlight and pointed his finger around, finally stopping at the team on the far left.
"Starting from your side today, which mine will you choose? A maximum of 7 people can enter each mine."
This team is composed entirely of adult men with strong physical fitness, and just standing there is extremely oppressive.
But there was no convincing leader in their team, and everyone had their own opinions and choices regarding the ore selection process.
There was no quarreling, no getting angry, everyone just spoke to each other, and it seemed like everyone was well behaved.
Kong Liu couldn't wait any longer and urged, "Choose quickly. A bunch of grown men are hesitating like women. Which number should we choose?"
The team started arguing again:
"Brothers, time is running out, let's speed up."
"Brother, what do you say we should do?"
"In my opinion, let's just raise our hands and vote. That's fairer."
"Wait, brother, you seem to have the most people here. Isn't this not very friendly to us?"
"Oh, what you said makes sense. I wonder if you have any good ideas? Tell us so that we can hear them."
"... Let's just ask the person in charge to point me to a random mine. It's all the same anyway."
The elder brother sneered: "That's a big mistake! You should think carefully about why the person in charge asked you to choose the mine."
The newcomer in the team looked around and felt uncomfortable being caught in the middle. He could only figure out which side was more reasonable through conversation.
"We support what the brother said!"
As soon as the words were spoken, the situation was decided.
The team finally chose the mine at the end.
They lined up and walked into the mine. This harmony only existed on the surface. They might have secretly planned how to kill each other.
It is then the turn of the remaining teams to choose.
The mines were occupied one by one.
Kong Liu looked at the last remaining people and said impatiently: "Can the seven of you stand together? Why are you so scattered? I can't even tell who is in the same group with whom!"
Anjiu and the boy exchanged glances, which meant that they had to join a team of five.
This is different from last time.
There are three teams to choose from on the field.
Anjiu: "Which one do you prefer?"
Boy: "The one with two girls."
He was referring to the team with Donna and Xu Shengsheng. Indeed, compared to the other two all-male teams, this team was indeed safer.
Apart from the two girls, there is only an old man and two middle-aged men, one tall and one short, so the risk would be smaller.
"Then choose them."
Donna and Xu Shengsheng waved to Anjiu enthusiastically, but when they saw her walking towards them side by side with a boy, their expressions froze.
"You, you and him?"
Donna couldn't help but want to look back, but was poked in the lower back by Xu Shengsheng beside her.
She gasped suddenly.
"You still have the mood to care about others? It's our turn to choose a mine!" Xu Shengsheng turned around and asked the other two men, "Brother, which number do you choose?"
The two men, one tall and one short, smiled at each other nonchalantly and said, "Then let's go with number 3."
"Hurry up, hurry up, don't let others get there first!" Xu Shengsheng pulled Donna and hurried to catch up, "Didn't you say that we'll rely on them this time?"
"No, it's not—"
"It's up to you. I've figured it out. I can't escape anyway, so I might as well find someone reliable to follow and do some work for. As long as I can get back alive, that's fine. If you don't leave, I'll leave."
Xu Shengsheng shook off Donna's arm and chased after the two men.
Donna glanced back with horror, the old man's expression did not change, but his eyes became much gloomier when he stared at her.
Her body trembled violently and she ran after Xu Shengsheng.
The old man spat fiercely to the side.
"They are all the same stuff!"
Anjiu and the boy followed him and walked into the mine one by one.
After a few steps, the entrance was blocked again.
"It was the same last time," Anjiu explained softly, "I opened it when I got off work."
The boy looked around the unfamiliar environment. The mine roof that he could touch with his hand made him feel depressed, and the deep and bottomless mine made his heart beat like a drum.
He wanted to be last.
Anjiu agreed, but added: "If you go deeper, you have to be more vigilant, especially the mine walls behind and on both sides. Those things appear silently."
"…What is that thing you are talking about?"
The boy's nose was sweating and his face was pale as he gently knocked on the mine wall with a hammer.
But I didn't expect the crisp dinging sound to spread far away like the sound of a drum.
The person in front immediately took a defensive stance, turned around as if facing a powerful enemy, and angrily yelled: "Are you looking for death?!"
"..."
He just wanted to test the hardness of the stone and try to find out where those things were hiding before they appeared, but he didn't expect that the stone was extremely sound-conducting.
The old man chuckled and said as if he didn't care at all: "Little brother, there's nothing good about knocking these stones. When you walk further in, you'll see something really interesting! By then, let alone a few knocks, even if you take a few pieces away, no one will care."
Xu Shengsheng and Donna, who were ranked third and fourth, had a gleam in their eyes, and the two people in front of them also sneered.
The few of them said no more and continued to walk deeper.
The boy looked at the stones on both sides and the tool hammer in his hand, and his frown relaxed a little.
