The world has turned into Hell's Game, why should I stay human? Chapter 495 - 394: Just Stand Still and Let Me Chop Once
These "people" were still wearing the uniforms of the Servicing Departnt, but they had already lost their original appearance.
Regardless of what they originally were, now they were just lumps of mud with arms and legs.
Where their heads once were, only a hollow remained, from which a random assortnt of small rubbish was being "pfft pfft" spewed outwards.
And their bodies were continuously dripping mud downwards, like lting wax candles.
These mud people held buckets in their hands, pouring scalding water into the bath, seemingly in an attempt to cleanse the water.
However, the mud and garbage from their bodies also fell into the bath, rendering their efforts completely counterproductive.
Apart from the two on the ladder, there were six other mud people below.
So were collecting water, while others waited below the ladder with their buckets.
"Apart from and Er Tong, everyone from the Servicing Departnt is here."
Sadness flashed through Yaoji’s eyes.
She was nice and had backing, so even in the cutthroat Servicing Departnt, people were still relatively kind to her.
Liu Zheng raised his hand to signal.
"Don’t bother if it’s not important."
Liu Tong glanced at him and said.
"Minister Liu Tong, I think it’s quite important."
He spoke seriously.
"Then speak quickly."
"Can they still turn back?"
Liu Zheng asked.
"They probably can’t turn back."
Yaoji shook her head.
"Minister Liu Tong, I think we should destroy these mud people."
He nodded his head and said to Liu Tong.
"Reasons."
"Judging by their actions, they should have beco puppets of His Excellency Da Chuanliu. But from what I know, Da Chuanliu is a benevolent deity and should not need such puppets."
"If we can destroy them, perhaps we can provoke a conflict between Da Chuanliu’s malevolent and benevolent thoughts, which could potentially lessen our pressure."
Liu Zheng said.
"That makes so sense, but what if aggravating Da Chuanliu increases our pressure instead?"
Liu Tong counterquestioned.
"Sister Yangzi, your Servicing Departnt must have records of serving His Excellency Da Chuanliu, right?"
He looked at Yaoji again.
"Yes, we do."
"How does the casualty rate this ti compare to the last?"
Liu Zheng inquired.
"It’s much higher."
Yaoji’s face showed so discomfort.
"I figured as much."
He nodded his head.
Upon hearing that only Er Tong and Yaoji were alive, he had guessed as much.
If there are only one or two survivors every ti, what’s the point of bonuses? It would be wiser to just wait for the compensation pay.
"This ti, the situation of His Excellency Da Chuanliu might be even worse than before. Even the Servicing Departnt, which usually faces less pressure than us, only had two survivors. If we don’t take so actions, I’m afraid to say, our Massage Departnt is likely to be completely wiped out this ti."
Liu Zheng stated.
After hearing this, Liu Tong fell silent.
And the rest of the Massage Departnt looked at each other, lost in thought.
Although newcors like Liu Zheng usually didn’t have much say.
Whatever the seniors asked him to do, he had to do, or else the spirit-infusion stick awaited him.
But now, given that everyone was like grasshoppers on the sa Titanic, and with reality staring them in the face, they had no choice but to listen carefully.
"It’s easy for you to say, but who is going to do it?"
Liu Tong suddenly said.
No matter whether these mud people had beco avatars or puppets of Da Chuanliu, they were troubleso either way.
If they were ignored and everyone did their own thing, they might manage to coexist peacefully.
If soone tried to kill them, who knows whether they’d end up being killed by these mud people instead.
"I’ll go."
Liu Zheng said calmly.
"You? I don’t trust you."
Liu Tong shook his head.
"What about does Minister Liu Tong not trust?"
"I don’t trust your motives, nor your strength."
Liu Tong said bluntly.
This kid had been eye-catching since they t, now trying to take the initiative in decision-making and volunteering to march into danger. As a newcor, he was unusually active.
This kind of person is either overly arrogant or has ulterior motives. In Liu Tong’s view, he was clearly the latter.
"I just want to finish the task as soon as possible and survive as best I can."
Liu Zheng explained.
"I hear you, but your issues are not our concern here. Who here doesn’t want to survive? Who knows if you’re not just trying to buy ti with our lives?"
Liu Tong spoke the harsh truth.
"Then what would Minister Liu Tong need to trust ?"
He asked.
Since the other party wasn’t rejecting outright, it indicated he still had considerations.
"I will plant a blade of grass in your heart. If I die, it will drain you dry."
Liu Tong proposed.
"Isn’t there another way? Like a contract, for example."
"Do I look like soone who can afford such things?"
Liu Tong remarked sardonically.
Even if he could afford it, who would carry such a thing around casually?
"Then alright, please be gentle, Minister Liu Tong."
Liu Zheng sighed and said.
"Don’t talk strange, I’m not interested in n."
While complaining, Liu Tong pulled out a strand of water grass from his face.
Underneath the water grass was red flesh of a texture similar to a tuna.
"If you succeed, once I beco the Executive Vice Minister, I’ll directly recomnd you for the position of Section Chief."
He held the water grass as he spoke.
Typically, those who have served such distinguished guests can at most be promoted by one rank.
But for soone like Liu Zheng, who’s done a great deed and has the support of the leadership, a two-rank promotion wasn’t out of question.
Becoming a Section Chief on his first day would be a teoric rise.
But when Liu Tong said this, no one present voiced any objection.
If it could increase their chances of survival, they’d even agree to promote Liu Zheng to boss.
