Chapter 182
Lost...admission?
They didn't expect to hear such words. Everyone was stunned for a moment. The whole place was eerily silent for a moment, and then several eyes met silently in the dark.
Growing up in such a turbulent world, it is almost instinctive for them to seek benefits and avoid harm. They are naturally good at observing who is strong and they also respect the strong.
But this is all under the premise that it does not affect their survival.
They usually act obediently in front of the strong, but immediately bite back once their core interests conflict. This is their principle of doing things.
The admission to the Black Tower was a matter of life and death for them, the most important resource for survival. They had originally gathered here for this reason to prepare for the final fight.
But once this little thing comes, he wants to deprive them of all their admission qualifications just because he is unhappy. Is that true?
He means what he says? What on earth is he?
Although they were all very dissatisfied in their hearts and a hint of malice had already emerged.
However, since the people in the venue were forming cliques and factions and had different intentions, no one wanted to waste their energy at this time and let others benefit from it later. Lu Jiamu's cursing was too sudden and they were not prepared, so no one was ready to take the lead in initiating a conflict.
This was exactly the reaction that Lu Jiamu had anticipated in advance, and he accurately grasped the mentality of the crowd.
After a moment, a tall, strong, bald man who seemed to have some say in this place came up and prepared to sound out the issue again.
He walked up to Lu Jiamu, bent down and lowered his sight as much as possible, and began to negotiate carefully: "Please calm down, we didn't mean that, we just..."
Lu Jiamu stared at the bald man.
He didn't spend much time with the residents of this world and had limited understanding of them. He just said those violent words just now only to test where this group of people's bottom line was and how obedient they were to the suspected superior, so as to show his attitude towards himself and manipulate them to kill each other later.
Unexpectedly, the bald man was so polite after hearing those words, which gave Lu Jiamu a signal that he could go further.
After all, Lu Jiamu was just here to fight the wolves, and his status and pomp depended entirely on his acting skills, so he couldn't make a wrong step. If he wanted these wolves to listen to him next, he had to control his momentum and subdue them as soon as possible.
Seeing this, Lu Jiamu tilted his head slightly, stared at the bald man and hooked his finger.
The bald man looked at the dwarf in front of him, whose figure was even shorter than him when he stood on a bench, and he suddenly realized something. He knelt on one knee very sensibly and looked at him, waiting for his decision.
Lu Jiamu suddenly jumped up, gathered all his strength and slapped him on the bald head, cursing angrily: "Is it time for you to speak?! Huh??!"
The sturdy bald man was caught off guard and couldn't dodge, and was stunned by the slap.
Baldy had always been doing well, so naturally he was the only one who got to beat others, and no one else got to beat him. It had been a long time since anyone dared to humiliate him like this. He felt a blood vessel throbbing on his forehead.
But the other party hit him so naturally, as if he had not considered his feelings at all, or had not regarded him as an equal at all.
The more rude the attitude was, the less he dared to get angry.
In this world, if you don't have enough strength and status, you can't be so spoiled and arrogant. People who have no strength but love to act arrogantly would have died long ago.
I can only hold my anger in for the time being.
"Since I'm here, you have to abide by my rules." Lu Jiamu crossed his arms and glanced at the bald man with a sneer, "How dare you interrupt me?"
The bald man carefully restrained the ferocity in his eyes, put his hands together, showed a humble smile, and stepped aside: "I'm sorry, I shouldn't have interrupted, please continue."
He said this humbly, but he had already begun to look carefully back and forth at the little guy standing in front of him and the large team behind him without showing any emotion.
They were indeed the soldiers sent by the government. But compared to the previous times when they brought people in, there were more convoys this time, and there were no transport vehicles to carry people, which seemed to be different.
Then the bald man's eyes swept across the other people in the venue.
No one stood up to say anything, and no one came over to try to establish a relationship with this little guy and speak softly to him. Everyone was pretending to be submissive. No one responded to his probing gaze.
This means that no one present knew this dwarf and had never seen him before.
Among those who are still alive today, there are many who are well-informed or have a certain status. When the institute still had order, they were well-informed.
But none of them had ever heard of this little guy.
The bald man intuitively felt that it would be normal to see some unfamiliar faces that he had never seen before being promoted and given real power after entering the Black Tower.
After all, the entire research institute has been condensed into a black tower, and its membership structure will definitely undergo tremendous changes.
But it is a bit strange that such a powerful person who can command so many convoys was sent out to perform field work at the last moment.
Either he brought them into the Black Tower just for convenience, or there were other more important tasks waiting for him to complete outside, so his temper was so bad.
Or...
The pass is a survival resource that is more important than life, and there can be no mistakes. The current process of picking up people is different from the previous times, so don't trust it easily.
After the initial awe of the superior, the bald man's mind became active again.
The number of people who can board this last ark of survival should be determined by the number of tickets issued by the Black Tower. Only those who are capable can get it. This has been agreed upon from the beginning. Why can he change this rule with just a few words?
Does he really have that much power?
Is this a trick to bluff them? Why?
Baldy had heard before that those lackey soldiers sent out by the Black Tower to roam around, although they always claimed to be official personnel and bullied the residents, not all of them were qualified to enter the Black Tower in the end.
These soldiers are just tools, and they also have their own competition mechanism, and they also need to be selected on the basis of merit. The research institute never keeps useless idlers.
Most of them will eventually be abandoned if they do not make any significant contributions.
This is why the lackeys act so cruelly and pervertedly when they are out there.
They feel superior to ordinary people, but in the Black Tower they don't even have the qualifications to enter and can only wait to die. This has long made them mentally unbalanced, and in the end they can only rely on abusing the weak for fun.
Everyone has more or less seen the perverted behavior of this group of mad dogs.
Now, it was the final moment, and all those Black Tower lackeys who could not get tickets had become stray dogs, wandering around. It was possible that they would gather together and try to overturn the rules and give it a try.
These people came earlier than the originally scheduled time, and suddenly started to make trouble as soon as they arrived. Could it be that this was the case, that they wanted to steal their passes and keep them for themselves?
If these teams are really the abandoned pawns, then these so-called officials are no nobler than them.
It is absolutely impossible to ask them to give up their admission.
Thinking of this, the bald man stared at the top of Lu Jiamu's head, with a hint of cruelty in his eyes.
But he still had no idea about Lu Jiamu's strength, so he decided to test him again later. If the other party really wanted to blow them up and cheat them out of the tickets, then they had to unite and get rid of these bastards first.
Lu Jiamu raised his head and met the bald man's eager gaze.
The bald man felt that he had figured it out, which was exactly what Lu Jiamu wanted.
