The camera in the Dragon Kingdom's live stream seemed to be used to create an atmosphere, pointing directly at the butcher's face. The blood between his lips and teeth made people almost instantly think that he had just eaten something bloody.
How will Yin Zhu respond?
As if to answer the audience's questions, Yin Zhu's relaxed voice came from off-camera:
"No, no, housing is too expensive. It's not like it's a holiday or anything, so I won't spend money to eat alone. Our company provides meals, so we won't miss out on this piece of meat."
Yin Zhu was referring to the fake identities they had initially chosen.
On the surface, they are employees of a logistics company specializing in transporting valuable items, hence the presence of bodyguards and caregivers.
This time, their company was transporting goods to the inner city when they "coincidentally" encountered the city's lockdown.
The story was naturally agreed upon by the group before entering the inner city. They initially thought they were going to deceive normal people, but now that they're inside, they've discovered that normal people are hiding their true intentions, and the people they're openly exchanging information with are all infected individuals.
Infected individuals have slightly weaker thinking abilities than normal people, and some of their "hobbies" differ from those of normal people, but otherwise they are largely the same.
After the inner city was brought under control, the infected had nothing left to resist, and naturally continued their peaceful lives as before.
To put it simply, a normal person is like water, while an infected person is like oil.
Water will react violently when it is poured into a pot of boiling oil, causing it to splatter and pop. However, if it is all oil, the reaction will be less intense.
Although she verbally refused the boss, Yin Zhu didn't leave immediately. Instead, she started chatting with the boss, just like the other infected people did:
"Boss, are you eating while you're cutting the meat?"
"You can't just say things like that. I didn't do that." The boss gave Yin Zhu an annoyed look, his tongue sticking out of his mouth like a frog's, stretching out infinitely, and he put a piece of meat in his mouth: "Eating your own meat, how can that be called stealing?"
"I'm just a little emotional. I never dreamed the inner city would turn out like this. Even the supreme gods..."
Yin Zhu sighed, half-jokingly.
“Yes, I never expected that even the gods would be infected with Cybervirus.” The boss subconsciously continued Yin Zhu’s words.
beep--
In an instant, the lights in the vicinity turned red, and the owner's expression suddenly turned terrified.
"Ah, no, that's not what I meant! Give me another chance!" The boss tried to shout to those around him, but everyone, including Yin Zhu, had already run away, and no one would listen to his explanation.
The owner ran straight out of his butcher shop, seemingly trying to escape.
However, Eve did not give him the chance.
A team of half-human, half-machine employees arrived quickly with weapons. The lead arrestor sprayed out a large net, while several others fired needles at him. Almost in the blink of an eye, they subdued the boss. Fearing he might resist, they quickly injected him with anesthetic.
Yin Zhu watched all this expressionlessly, but was actually quite shocked inside.
She did intend to lead these Indigenous people, whose IQs had been slightly lowered after the infection, to say things that violated the rules of the inner city, but she did not expect that the inspectors would act so quickly once they said it.
Fortunately, they had drugged the boss; otherwise, Yin Zhu could imagine the boss struggling to point at her.
"It was this vile woman who led me to insult the gods!"
Well, although Yin Zhu has a backup plan for this, it's best not to use it if possible.
The worst-case scenario would be if something truly forced Yin Zhu to play all her cards.
Yin Zhu wasn't worried that he would identify her after he regained consciousness. What a joke! Before they became infected, they weren't exactly kind to those who broke the rules. How could they possibly become kind to their fellow rule-breakers after they became psychologically abnormal?
Anyway, I heard that none of those who were arrested ever came back alive.
However, the boss's experience reminded Yin Zhu once again that she should not talk too much and should just keep her mind focused. If it is not necessary, it is best not to talk too much about any dangerous topics involving politics, religion, etc., and just chat about everyday things.
These topics are certainly eye-catching, but they also attract the attention of the oversight bureau.
When she returned to her room, everything was normal. The monster by the window was gone, and everything in the room was fine. Yin Zhu finished her portion of dry rations and began to ponder her boss's words.
Of course she knew that even gods could be infected with cybervirus.
However, the boss's tone at the time was different from Xiaoqiang's sarcastic attitude. Considering the context, the boss was genuinely moved by the matter, and this attitude stemmed from his piety towards the gods.
In other words, he did not lose his faith because of the gods' illness, and still firmly trusted them.
That's getting interesting.
Yin Zhu had previously wondered why no deity had intervened when the inner city was in such a state of chaos. Now, looking back, is it possible that the first infected were actually deities?
Faith itself is a kind of spiritual force, which is equivalent to a person unilaterally entrusting their spiritual needs to a deity.
What if, after being infected, the deities used this spiritual power to infect their followers? The followers' faith would remain unchanged, but they would also be unknowingly infected with psychological illness. In a place like Vina City, which places such importance on the gods, a few words from those deities could probably make the followers completely devoted, afraid to question the gods' thoughts.
It's been a month. At first, they said they would find a way, but the number of infected people keeps increasing, and we haven't even seen a trace of them.
Suddenly, the panda's complaint popped into Yin Zhu's mind.
Of course, there was no shadow.
Your gods have become infected, so of course they won't solve your problems.
Perhaps even these gods themselves had no other choice.
Yin Zhu glanced at the time displayed on the Good Spirit Official's device; it was almost time for them to "connect" online that evening.
The discussion group was launched at 8 PM.
Hirano San was the first to send the message.
As soon as Yin Zhu entered, she saw a very cherry blossom-themed message: "Good evening, everyone. It's a pleasure to see you all again."
Then a group of people followed suit and greeted him.
Conformity is a human instinct; otherwise, one will appear out of place.
Five more friends left us today.
The panda suddenly uttered a very heavy sentence, interrupting everyone's polite greetings, and for a moment no one dared to say anything.
Xiaoqiang, who is more talkative online than in real life, immediately asked, "How do you know they're dead?"
"The fact that they are not online is the answer."
Panda felt a pang of sadness as he looked at his familiar friend's grayed-out profile picture, but to Yin Zhu and the others, he was just a stranger. At most, they would just follow the trend and post a candle icon with a message like "RIP" or "May the deceased rest in peace."
Seeing the somber mood in the discussion group, Yin Zhu, always kind-hearted, didn't hold back this time and dropped a bombshell to "lighten the mood":
"I want to ask you something: did you know that they also became infected?"
