Mou Xuan took a deep breath and pushed open the slightly shabby door.
The creaking sound seemed to be telling the vicissitudes of time, and it also seemed to be the closed heart of the negative member of the bell.
There was a faint musty smell in the room, with some sundries piled haphazardly on the floor and a few empty instant noodle boxes scattered in the corner.
The difficulty level is simply like "finding treasure in a garbage dump", Mou Xuan silently complained in his heart.
Member Zhong was lying on the bed, with his legs crossed and his eyes staring at the ceiling. I wonder what philosophy of life he was thinking about.
Hearing the door open, he glanced lazily, his tone carrying a hint of impatience: "What are you doing here? I haven't done anything wrong."
Mou Xuan was not angry. He pulled a chair over and sat down, and said straight to the point: "Zhong, I know you have no interest in this competition and think it is useless to participate. But I want to talk to you."
Member Zhong turned over, facing away from Mou Xuan, and muttered, "What's there to talk about with you? Anyway, I'm a hopeless case, and you've known this for a long time."
Mou Xuan smiled and slowed down his voice: "If I say that I have experienced the end of the world, do you know what that means?"
Member Zhong Negative sat up suddenly, with a hint of surprise in his eyes: "Apocalypse? You mean the kind where zombies are rampant and humanity is doomed?"
Mou Xuan nodded, his tone heavy: "That's right. I have experienced despair, betrayal, and struggle to survive. I know what is most important in the end times."
He paused and continued, "In the apocalypse, strength is king. Without strength, you can only be slaughtered by others, and even survival is a luxury. This competition is an opportunity to improve your strength. Even if you are not interested in those survival skills, don't you want to become stronger and more capable of self-protection?"
Mou Xuan's tone was full of sincerity and his eyes were particularly firm.
He knew that changing a person's mind was not an easy task, but as long as he communicated with his heart, he could always find a breakthrough.
Member Zhong Negative was silent, as if thinking about Mou Xuan's words.
The room was eerily quiet, with only the occasional sound of wind coming from outside the window.
"To be honest, I admit that what you said makes sense." Member Zhong Negative spoke slowly, with a hint of hesitation in his tone, "But you also know my situation. I am a lazy person and don't like dealing with people. Participating in the competition is a torture for me."
"I know." Mou Xuan nodded, "But you can try to change. This competition is not only for the alliance, but also for yourself. If you can improve your strength through this competition, you may be able to live longer and with more dignity in the apocalypse."
Mou Xuan stood up, patted the negative member Zhong on the shoulder, and said earnestly: "Think about it carefully. I hope you can make the right choice." After that, he turned and left the room.
Zhong Xiaoji was left lying alone on the bed, looking at the ceiling with complicated eyes.
The next day, Chen Yao enthusiastically organized a small exchange activity.
She gathered all the contestants and asked them to share their experiences and insights from the competition.
"Hello everyone! My name is Li Lei. I am mainly responsible for trap design in this competition. After this competition, I found that the theoretical knowledge I learned before is not enough in practical applications. Fortunately, with the help of my teammates, I can continue to improve and finally design an effective trap." Li Lei stood in the middle of the crowd, talking eloquently with a confident smile on his face.
"Hello everyone! My name is Han Meimei, and I am mainly responsible for medical assistance. This competition made me realize how scarce medical resources are in the end times. I have learned a lot of first aid skills and mastered some simple herbal knowledge. I hope I can help more people." Han Meimei's voice was gentle and firm.
Member Zhong Xiaoji was also invited to participate in this exchange activity.
He sat in the corner, listening quietly.
Seeing those teammates who were once as confused as him, but now became so confident and energetic, Zhong Negative member's heart was also touched.
He began to realize that this competition might really change something.
Just when everyone was feeling happy about the transformation of Zhong Negative member, a member of the team suddenly ran over with a pale face.
"Oh no! I found some suspicious people near the competition venue! They seem to be gathering information everywhere, acting sneakily, and they definitely have bad intentions!" he said breathlessly.
Mou Xuan frowned and immediately realized the seriousness of the matter.
He immediately used his time ability to analyze the movements of these suspicious people.
Time seemed to flow backwards, and scenes flashed through Mou Xuan's mind.
He saw these suspicious people wandering around the competition venue, secretly observing the actions of the contestants, and trying to approach some important material storage points.
"It turns out to be a new spy sent by Fu's external interferer!" Mou Xuan's eyes flashed and he said in a cold tone.
He immediately arranged for personnel to strengthen monitoring of the competition venue and its surroundings, making sure all these suspicious individuals were caught in one fell swoop.
At the same time, he also began to develop new response plans to prevent external interferers from causing trouble again.
"Chen Yao, you are responsible for strengthening the protection of the contestants, especially those with weaker strength. Remember, don't let go of any suspicious person!" Mou Xuan said in a serious tone.
"Understood!" Chen Yao nodded.
"Li Lei, you are responsible for rearranging the traps in the competition venue. Make sure they are foolproof!" Mou Xuan continued to order.
