And he didn't move an inch.
"..." He retracted his outstretched hand.
"Li Jianyi, shouldn't we move?" Li Yuanyuan beside him whispered to him, "Chen Tianle..."
“We can’t go!” he said immediately, “Our lives are much more important than those of these casual players. For the sake of the overall situation of the progress bar, we can’t die there!”
Li Yuanyuan lowered her head, seeming a little guilty.
Li Jianyi took the opportunity to stop the other students and prevented them from doing anything stupid.
...There's no need for them to take risks for a bunch of useless guys.
After he had finished persuading his classmates, he suddenly heard many other voices.
Like waves and patches of footsteps, sometimes slow, sometimes hesitant, sometimes fast.
He saw countless figures that looked like the girl.
Young men, girls, middle-aged men, and even children, they have different shapes, appearances, and skin colors.
But what was consistent was that these people were like white meteors passing by his eyes.
Lines of defensive light shields were erected above the people, rushing towards where the screams were coming from.
"Auntie, come here quickly! Come under my light shield!"
"I still have room for three more people here. Accept the invitation to form a team immediately!"
"Don't go there—there's still aftershocks—"
Although the vast majority of adventure players were still standing by and watching, there was a group of adventure players who could have been living in comfort, but they took the initiative to go out... to save a group of completely useless people.
He was confused.
Are humans so united?
Or in other words, when did humanity become so united?
He looked at this scene and couldn't understand it.
Obviously, on the forum, this group of guys are more stubborn than anyone else. When they quarrel, no one will let go of the other, as if they want to bite off a piece of each other's skin before they can stop. Wherever he looks, public opinion is in chaos, and everywhere is filled with pessimism and loneliness. Extreme remarks are everywhere in the posts, and no one will back down when it comes to competing for interests.
Faced with the desperate situation of the Sixth World, some people even threatened to commit suicide together with others.
But now…
Why could he see such a group of people doing stupid things for others?
He couldn't understand. He just felt his heart beating faster and faster, and his blood boiling, gradually making his face flush red.
Watching this unprecedented scene of unity, he somehow felt the urge to rush forward, as if he had watched an extremely passionate movie or seen a scene that inspired empathy.
Is this human empathy?
No.
Li Jianyi is unwilling to admit it, he prefers to use "herd mentality" to explain this phenomenon.
He stood where he was, not wanting to move forward, watching the white lights flash before him.
At the same time, he saw a package flashing blue light appear in the place where the screams were loudest.
Within three seconds, the mechanical explosive will explode and the land will turn into a bloody mess.
"ah--"
Some people have already started screaming. They stretched out their hands to try to escape from this area, but they don't even have the chance to take a step.
Like a group of geese with their necks stretched out, they were full of despair and were deeply trapped in the whirlpool of the tide.
Li Jianyi closed his eyes.
"boom--!"
A loud explosion sounded in front of him.
He couldn't feel the scorching wind because of the barrier, but he knew that as soon as he opened his eyes, he would see another bloody human tragedy.
He took a breath and suddenly noticed that the surroundings were a little quiet.
The originally panicked discussions, screams, and voices discussing whether or not to save people... slowed down at this moment.
He felt strange and opened his eyes.
The crowd that was supposed to be surrounded by the explosion was still safe and sound.
They stared with eyes wide open, their faces full of disbelief, as if they had not yet recovered from the shock of surviving a disaster.
…The explosion did not come.
Li Jianyi raised his head.
He saw the explosives thrown high up in the air explode in the sky, surrounded by stars and bright fire, like beautiful fireworks suddenly bursting into glory.
...but it didn't affect anyone.
Above the crowd, a woman covered in armor came down and retracted her bloody hand that was raised high.
On her armor, there was a bright red scale engraved, as dazzling as blood.
