Chapter 2721 Classification of Gods
Zhang Meng thought about what he just said.
Obviously, those are two gods.
One is the god of fun for boring types who want to watch the fun, and the other is the righteous god in people's minds in the traditional sense.
He was sitting by a campfire in the back yard of the church, where some frozen meat was roasting.
The firelight danced on their faces, and everyone else was roasting meat in silence.
The atmosphere in the church had changed since the tall white man showed up.
People are wary of each other, worried that they will be caught by each other.
Apparently they also realized that those people had malicious intentions.
After all, in this kind of doomsday setting, believers of various evil gods are too common.
There used to be quite a few of them, but there were people taking care of them, so it wasn't a big deal.
There are many followers of the evil god making a big fuss now.
Soon, the next crisis occurred.
This time it's a group of wild boar monsters that can dig holes, which suddenly increases the difficulty.
For the first time there was a death in the church.
He was recovering from his injuries in the rear, but was killed by a wild boar that appeared in the cave.
After the war, Zhang Meng was full of contradictions and struggles.
This apocalypse is indeed cruel enough.
He kept asking himself whether, like in those novels, he should give up his humanity, his dignity, his kindness, and do whatever it takes to survive.
He thought back to the survivors who had died.
Their eyes were full of fear and despair.
Zhang Meng took a deep breath, he wanted to live.
But he couldn't completely give up everything about being a human being.
His eyes flashed with determination.
He made a decision.
Even if you want to use people, you have to use evil people.
What, you said there are no evil people?
How is it possible? Don't forget, before he awakened, several people laughed at him.
Then at the church camp, someone else awakened with the help of Li Cang.
At the same time, everyone also strengthened their training.
It's just that as time goes by, the danger becomes greater and greater.
Obviously, the end of the world is a game to the gods and a torment to them.
The fragile balance that existed before no longer exists.
Every time you survive a crisis, someone dies.
This created a growing tension in the camp.
Under increasing pressure, some people quietly betrayed Li Cang.
They chose to join another group of survivors.
They hope to find safety and refuge there.
Zhang Meng stood in front of them, with a trace of sadness and pity in his eyes.
"Do you really think you can gain safety by giving up everything?" he asked.
They didn't answer, there was only escape in their eyes.
In fact, they know that if they do this, they are just hanging on.
In fact, it is equivalent to taking someone else's life in exchange for one more week or one month.
Zhang Meng shook his head.
He knew he couldn't convince them.
If the church camp is strong enough, they will naturally choose to stay and stick to their posts.
These people are tired.
In order to survive, you have to put away your dignity and work more than 12 hours a day.
It's very hard work.
The difficulty has not decreased because these few people are missing. On the contrary, it has become more and more difficult.
Until the awakened ones die.
People finally broke down.
More and more people left, and finally only Li Cang and Zhang Meng were left in the huge church.
Li Cang stood beside Zhang Meng.
There was a sneer in his eyes.
"Those are a bunch of fools, Zhang Meng," he said, "Let's go together."
In this way, an intact church camp parted ways.
Zhang Meng was a little disappointed.
He really thought this was a church camp in the game, and thought he could make it to the end of the game.
Who knew it would be over in just over half a year.
Of course, if everyone wants to persist, they can actually persist for more than half a year.
That's just one or two years.
He and Li Cang left the camp.
From now on they have no fixed campsite, they are reduced to vagrants, they have no home.
The good thing is that with the monsters, they just have to run all the way.
There is no need to stick to one place, the monsters often stop chasing them after chasing them through a foggy area.
They decided to strengthen themselves and obtain stronger power, so they chose to explore the depths of the mist.
In the fog, Zhang Meng and Li Cang moved forward cautiously.
Their eyes were wary, their hands clenched with weapons.
The fog was full of unknown dangers, but they did not flinch.
Today, I am exploring.
Zhang Meng suddenly stopped.
He turned to look at Li Cang.
"Li Cang," he said, "why don't you do that kind of thing?"
"You can also sacrifice one or two people to reduce the difficulty and maintain the camp."
There was a trace of pain and hesitation in Li Cang's eyes.
"Although I plot against others," he said, "I think I'm still a good person. I can't do anything like sending a living person directly to the God of Death."
Zhang Meng nodded, with a hint of respect in his eyes.
He now knows that Li Cang is a trustworthy partner.
Li Cang's eyes moved.
What a fool, you can believe this.
How did this guy survive until the end of time?
Later, their exploration bore fruit.
On this day, they found a strange object deep in the fog.
This is a mysterious crystal that emits a faint light. Its power seems to be able to penetrate the fog and guide them in the direction.
"There's something wrong with this thing!" Li Cang was a little surprised.
"Yeah, I feel like they are the source of monsters. It's like the core of the fog. Should we break it up and take a look?" Zhang Meng said.
So the two began to prepare to destroy the core of the fog.
The two knew that there might be powerful monsters hiding around the core of the fog.
They must be fully prepared.
Li Cang took out some homemade explosives from his backpack.
There was a hint of madness in his eyes.
"These explosives are enough for us to break the defense of the fog core." Li Cang's voice was deep.
Zhang Meng nodded, with a hint of nervousness in his eyes. "We must hit with one hit and not give the monster any chance to fight back."
Sure enough, after the two of them observed for a while, they saw a group of green-skinned monsters coming out of the crystal, just like goblins.
After coming out, they started patrolling around.
Their eyes flash with red light, and their bodies exude a powerful aura.
Apparently this group of goblins was a type of monster that attacked their church camp.
Zhang Meng and Li Cang were hiding behind a fence, blocked by bushes.
Their eyes were fixed on the goblins' actions.
They must wait for an opportunity, an opportunity that allows them to approach the core of the fog.
When daylight came, the goblins went straight to rest.
Zhang Meng and Li Cang acted quickly.
Zhang Meng fired decisively and made a dull sound. Each bullet accurately hit the goblin's vital part. Li Cang swung his sword, and each swing could cut off a goblin's body.
The goblins let out an angry roar, and they began to charge towards the two men, trying to eat them.
Zhang Meng and Li Cang were back to back.
There was no trace of fear in their eyes.
They could feel that these goblins were not powerful.
It should only become stronger after staying in the mist for a while.
Zhang Meng suddenly realized that they should not be passive defensive.
We should take the initiative to go deep into the fog and clear out these monsters.
Otherwise, what was originally an easy battle would turn into a life and death battle.
And now, they can no longer retreat.
Li Cang finally found an opportunity and tied explosives to the crystal at the core of the mist.
There was a hint of confidence in his eyes.
"Zhang Meng, prepare to retreat!" he shouted loudly.
Zhang Meng nodded, with a hint of nervousness in his eyes.
"Ready!" he replied.
Li Cang lit the fuse of the explosive and quickly retreated with Zhang Meng.
The goblins forgot to protect the crystal and started chasing them madly.
But the explosion of explosives interrupted their pursuit.
With a loud noise, the crystal at the core of the mist was blown into pieces.
Dust flew everywhere.
The goblins slowly disappeared.
Zhang Meng and Li Cang clung to the ground, their eyes full of nervousness.
When the dust settled and they stood up, they saw the destroyed Mist Core.
As the core shattered, a door shrouded in mist suddenly appeared in front of them.
Behind the door is an unknown world, full of unknown dangers and possible opportunities.
"Are we really going in?" Zhang Meng's voice contained a hint of hesitation.
Li Cang thought for a while and nodded.
"We have to get in, this is our only chance."
"But we'd better find some warriors."
Zhang Meng had no objection.
Then the two began to pretend to be ordinary good Samaritans and go fishing.
This time we caught some warriors.
Those are some big guys.
Then they were thrown into the Mist Gate.
After testing, there is no major crisis, at least there will be no killing at first sight.
The big guys are back again.
They passed through the Mist Gate and entered a new world.
Here they encountered several injured survivors.
These survivors told them that they were here to clear out the monsters. Only in this way could their camp be stable for a while.
The real monster is hidden on this side of the Mist Gate.
"That's it." Zhang Meng suddenly realized.
This is the way to pass.
Passive defense alone is not enough.
They bid farewell to the group of survivors and prepared to clean up the monsters in depth.
But at this moment, Li Cang made a decision that shocked Zhang Meng.
He returned to the other side, captured a few more ordinary people, and let them go in front as cannon fodder.
"Li Cang, what are you doing? Things are different now. We don't need others to be cannon fodder." Zhang Meng's voice was filled with anger.
There was a hint of coldness in Li Cang's eyes.
"It's still the same, we all have to face the unknown; Zhang Meng, we have to survive, and sometimes we need to make some difficult choices."
Zhang Meng's heart was full of contradictions, and he began to doubt Li Cang's motives.
He realized that the reason why Li Cang did not perform the sacrifice was not because he was kind, but because he understood the truth about the gods.
Li Cang seemed to see Zhang Meng's change in attitude.
He explained the classification of gods to Zhang Meng.
"You know something about the gods, but not much."
"Actually, in my opinion, gods are divided into two categories: those with neutral order and those with chaos and evil."
"The gods of neutral order will act according to their own reason, while the gods of chaotic evil are moody and may cause harm to humans at any time."
"What I'm looking for are the gods of neutral order. They are the key to our survival." Li Cang's voice was very powerful.
Zhang Meng understood in his heart.
At the same time he thought of what he had heard before.
Obviously those are two types of gods.
If Xiao Huan and Zhao Han heard such a misunderstanding, they would definitely feel speechless.
They are not gods, they are just a group of players.
Zhang Meng knew that there was no turning back for them.
They must move on and find hope of survival.
They soon found a lair, which was the lair where monsters were born.
And they also found more mysteries.
The lair contains the souls of living people.
It turns out that after they kill people, they take away their souls and use their memories and knowledge to create more monsters...
The two men disposed of this lair.
Just decided to leave.
Because they want to rebuild the camp.
They cannot sustain it on their own.
They then returned to the safe zone and returned to the church camp again to reorganize and recruit new people.
All the survivors they encountered before were found and rescued by them.
A week later, they heard about conditions at another camp.
The survivors who made the sacrifices did not fare well, all died and their sacrifices had disastrous consequences.
They summoned a hand, and that hand looked agitated.
Just slap them all to death.
Zhang Meng knew as soon as he heard it that it was a true manifestation of being angry when he woke up.
The question is, how do people know that gods are sleeping?
They chatter from morning to night, pray from morning to night, even 24 hours a day.
Can the gods not be upset after hearing this?
Zhang Meng's heart was filled with heaviness.
They knew he might have made the right choice.
The price of mistakes is too high.
The tall white man was very confident before.
Now it has become a confident meat sauce.
"We can't follow their old path, Zhang Meng." There was a hint of firmness in Li Cang's voice.
Zhang Meng nodded, determination flashing in his eyes.
"We need gods, but we should find gods of order."
They then continued to explore the mystery of the Mist Gate.
"Where did these monsters come from? Why are they in such a state?" Zhang Meng's voice was filled with doubts.
Li Cang guessed: "They are man-made, and the fog is a transitional period. They have adapted to the laws of our world through this door and the fog zone."
Zhang Meng nodded, with a hint of determination in his eyes.
"Then, as long as we explore these monsters, we can find the gods behind them." He said.
They have gone through repeated exploration and research.
It was finally determined that these monsters would become stronger and stronger, indeed because they were measuring the power of nearby camps.
The stronger the nearby camps are, the longer they stay in the mist and become stronger themselves.
Their behavior is more like putting on a show for some god.
But how to contact this god and how to confirm the other party's position has become a new problem.
