In front of him, the bespectacled college student Hu Xiu stood unsteadily, looking frightened, like a prisoner awaiting sentencing.
He knew very well that his life depended on whether the other party agreed or not.
Of course, even if it is Xu, at most it will just bring a little more vitality.
At the beginning of the terror, perhaps there are still people who are kind and sincere.
But after a few weeks, these kind people died early and became fertilizer everywhere. Many good people died, but the bad people were still alive, so it was a blessing for the living people not to stab each other in the back, let alone ask for help.
Ordinary people can only survive in this doomsday if they are vigilant enough and indifferent enough.
Hu Xiu naturally didn't dare to fantasize that the other party could keep him alive.
I would be grateful if I could give him some information to increase my chances of survival.
After looking at it for a while, Lin Fan withdrew his gaze.
At this moment, he has two choices. One is to follow the other party's intention, protect him, make friends with him, and recruit him to serve him.
But the disadvantage is that it may cut off the other party's opportunity for growth and improvement.
According to the history before his rebirth, Lin Fan would not appear here at this moment, which means that Hu Xiu has to rely on himself for everything.
It is hard to say whether some changes will occur if Lin Fan intervenes rashly.
After all, what Lin Fan values and favors is the future Hu Xiu who will be feared by everyone, rather than the current immature and uneasy Hu Xiu.
The second option is to let it fend for itself, challenge the trial tasks on its own, and struggle to survive from the cruel and terrifying scenes, so that it can achieve a certain degree of growth and improvement.
But if that were the case, he would have less chance to subdue the other party.
According to the normal historical process, Hu Xiu will eventually be absorbed by another force.
Therefore, no single option is perfect and needs to be considered carefully.
After a while, as Hu Xiu waited anxiously, Lin Fan slowly said, "I can protect you."
Upon hearing this, Hu Xiu's pupils shrank and a look of joy instantly appeared on his brows.
Pay attention to the wording, the other party said "protect" instead of "help"!
The former is to save his life and ensure that his life is safe.
The latter may just be a few reminders, and unexpected risks still exist.
Although he begged the other party for help, he never dared to imagine that the other party could really protect him.
However, these words only made him more alert. While his eyes showed joy, they also concealed deep fear and vigilance.
It is common to see people showing mercy and kindness when the world is at peace before terror strikes.
In this strange apocalypse, if someone does this again, don't be too quick to be happy, as they might have ulterior motives.
Therefore, he suspected that the other party wanted to trick him into exploring the way with his physical body and feed the ghost with his body.
But soon, Lin Fan's next words dispelled all his doubts.
"You can keep up with us without being affected by outsiders, and yet you can keep your mind steady and undisturbed, and notice the subtleties."
Lin Fan first made comments, making his words a little more reasonable and not too exaggerated.
It is impossible to say that he has experienced the future and knows what the other person will achieve tomorrow.
Then he stated his purpose, "I'm short of people. If you can prove your value, I can allow you to join us."
That’s right, in the end Lin Fan did not make the choice himself, but handed the choice to the other party.
Lin Fan had no idea how the other force would recruit Hu Xiu in the future.
But one thing is certain, at this early stage of terror, he who is in charge of Jianghai City and has contracted a Dao-breaking-level weirdness is definitely the best choice!
Since she is the one he likes, he naturally believes that she can make the right choice.
"Show your value...join you..."
Hu Xiu muttered a few words, and the doubts in his heart disappeared with Lin Fan's words.
Inexplicable charity does not exist in this world. If it is profitable, then it is reasonable.
What the other party is after is Hu Xiu as a whole!
But this actually surprised Hu Xiu, as he was just a college graduate, not from a prestigious university.
Moreover, they can be regarded as the most unfortunate group of graduates in history. They encountered the terrible apocalypse right after graduation. Not to mention finding a job, they could hardly even save their lives.
Just based on his performance just now, he was able to attract the other party's favor? He was a little bit unbelievable.
"Can I learn about your organization?"
The request was reasonable, but Lin Fan didn't need to answer. The old man in plain clothes next to him raised his eyebrows, his face full of pride, "My brother is a certified master of the emergency team, the one who guards and manages Jianghai City."
These words were shocking enough.
Whether it is the official recognition of the master's identity by the emergency team, or the authority to guard Jianghai City, it can never be faked.
Such a person must be extremely prominent and have many subordinates.
Why would I bother to consider following such a person? This is truly a blessing that would make even my ancestors' graves smoke!
After thinking about it, Hu Xiu calmed down, nodded heavily, and said firmly, "Thank you very much, I am willing to join!"
"You're wrong. The premise is that you can prove your own value."
This is the method Lin Fan came up with in order not to affect the other party's growth.
After he finished speaking, he directly instructed the old man in plain clothes to hand over five thousand ghost money to Hu Xiu.
He added, "These five thousand ghost money can be used to help you cope with the trial missions and to save your life. If you can do it without spending a single ghost money, you can join my team."
"If it doesn't cost much, you can join my organization."
"If everything is spent, then everything I just said will be null and void. You can just save your life and leave."
Three levels, three completely different futures.
One was that he had successfully challenged the trial mission, earning five thousand ghost notes without spending a single cent, purely through his own ability. With this, he could join Lin Fan's team and be trained as a core member.
The two challenges were successful, spending different amounts of ghost money. Although it relied on external forces, it also demonstrated its value. With this, they could join Lin Fan's organization and be trained as peripheral members.
The third one is purely relying on external help, without reflecting any self-worth, and has not gained corresponding growth and improvement from this trial mission. It can only be said to be a pity.
Of course, there is one last possibility, which is that all the ghost money is spent and the life is not saved.
But being able to possess 5,000 ghost money as capital to participate in the trial mission challenge is already far ahead of 99% of living people.
Holding the thick stack of 5,000 ghost money in his hand, Hu Xiu was a little dumbfounded.
"Just give me... five thousand ghost notes!"
Anyone who has experienced a horrific apocalypse will be familiar with ghost money. It is the only currency that can drive the weird and even survive in the hands of the weird!
It has been hyped up outside, with a multiplier of one to one hundred, and there is no demand for it.
Five thousand ghost money can be exchanged for five hundred thousand in cash, which is enough to buy a two-bedroom apartment in the small town of Dongcheng!
Originally, he had looked down on the other party just because of his official title as a master and the title of the guardian of Jianghai City. However, he did not expect that the other party would be even more arrogant than he thought!
He hasn't even joined yet, he's just taking the assessment, but he's already thrown five thousand ghost money into his hand!
Feeling the weight of the ghost money in his hand, his breathing became heavier involuntarily.
Perhaps on this trip, he not only saved his life, but also had the good fortune to come across an incredible opportunity!
