Chapter 219 The Test!
Everyone stared intently at the execution platform outside, and soon O'Connor was brought to it.
The guards put a noose around O'Connor's neck and placed him on the gallows. He was then suspended in mid-air and began to struggle. After more than ten seconds, his struggles became weaker and weaker. According to the plot, the female lead should have reached an agreement by this time, but there was still no order to release him. So, at midnight, they immediately shot and cut the noose, and O'Connor fell down.
Just as the guards were preparing to change the rope and continue the execution, the warden's order to stop the execution came belatedly.
Those who were seasoned viewers couldn't help but curse the God of War in their hearts when they saw this scene. They were certain that if it weren't for Xiao Honglu's reminder, and the male protagonist had died, it would have made the horror film much more difficult.
"You just said you can sense death coming. How exactly do you sense it?"
Zheng Zha was impressed by Xiao Honglu's performance and wanted to learn more about him.
"I can see death. In my eyes, the world is gray. I can see everyone's premonition of death directly. The more intense the gray, the more likely they are to die. For example, you are the one among us with the most intense gray."
"7
Zheng Zha paused for a moment, then smiled bitterly and asked, "Is it certain death? Or is it a possibility that can be changed?"
"It's just a possibility of death, like O'Connor, who teetered on the edge of death. Just now, his deathly gray was much more intense than yours—"
"Interesting. What about the rest of us?"
Lin Yu asked.
Lin Yu was somewhat interested in Xiao Honglu's talent.
"Apart from him, everyone else's death aura has faded considerably, but yours is the faintest, almost nonexistent."
Xiao Honglu glanced at Lin Yu and said.
The others were not surprised to hear this. Although Lin Yu did not receive more reward points than Zheng Zha, his growth was obviously faster. He was also a ranged mage with decent melee abilities, making him the hardest person to kill in their team.
"Is that so?"
Lin Yu nodded.
Xiao Honglu's talent is obviously very limited. Whether in the original work or now, Zheng Zha is by no means the one who is most likely to die. In team battles, newcomers who have no ability to protect themselves are the ones who are most likely to die.
However, the ability to sense Lin Yu's situation might come in handy at times.
"Our team's strategist died in the last horror movie. You seem quite intelligent, so analyze the team battle situation for us."
Lin Yu smiled slightly, then said to Xiao Honglu.
"The information we have now is still somewhat insufficient. I need to understand the situation of you senior members before I can make further inferences."
Xiao Honglu took a deep breath and said.
He was well aware that this was a test. This person held an extraordinary position in the team. If he could pass the test, he would be accepted by the team and his life would be guaranteed to a certain extent. If he failed, he would probably be no different from the other newcomers.
The other newcomers, though seemingly not exuding an aura of death, are actually quite dangerous. This danger comes not only from the horror movie and the opposing team, but also from within the team itself, and from the man who is testing them.
Xiao Honglu certainly didn't miss the surprise on the faces of the other veterans when the man saved that bald giant. Clearly, the man's act of saving the man was not out of pity or sympathy, but had a deeper purpose.
Although he didn't know what this man was up to, it was definitely not a good thing. Xiao Honglu didn't want to end up in the same situation as the bald big man.
"Can."
"My name is Lin Yu, and my profession is mage. I have strong mid-to-long-range attack capabilities, as well as some healing abilities."
Lin Yu did not refuse, but only briefly introduced his situation.
"My name is Zheng Zha, and I'm the acting captain of the team. My profession is warrior. I possess the power to unlock the second level of the gene lock, strengthening my B-grade Dragonblood Warrior. I've also cultivated a true internal energy technique similar to that found in martial arts novels..."
Although Zheng Zha felt that Xiao Honglu had performed very well, he naturally did not object when Lin Yu wanted to test him. Instead, after introducing himself, he encouraged Xiao Honglu with his eyes.
Seeing this, other senior members also began to introduce their own situations.
"The male lead has left."
Zhang Jie suddenly spoke up.
Looking over, everyone saw that the female lead had already left with the male lead, so they followed them from a distance.
As Xiao Honglu walked, he pondered and analyzed the available intelligence. His fingers unconsciously tugged at his hair. After a long while, he looked up and asked, "What's this about unlocking the gene lock?"
"It seems this is the key to the conflict between our team and the opposing team?"
Zheng Zha nodded and said, "Yes, before you, there was a very powerful person, the wise man Lin Yu mentioned who died in the last horror movie. He once deduced that the purpose of the 'Main God' space was to allow human evolution, and this ability to unlock the gene lock is the mark of biological evolution. Once three people in each team have unlocked their gene locks, regardless of whether one or two have died, as long as the cumulative number reaches three, that team will randomly collide with teams from other continents!"
"I see. No wonder the reward points for members who unlocked the gene lock were so high."
Zheng Zha's answer resolved many of Xiao Honglu's doubts.
The main god's goal is to cultivate poisonous creatures, so operations like killing each other's newcomers or living in peace won't work. If any team dares to do that, they will definitely be targeted by the main god.
"So, what did you learn?"
Zheng Zha asked expectantly.
He had high expectations for Xiao Honglu, hoping that he could discover some information that they had missed, just like he had done before.
"Based on the information you've provided, if this team exists or has ever had three members who unlocked the genetic lock, then this team will clash with teams from other continents—I'm saying that our team is definitely weaker than that Indian team, otherwise the 'God' wouldn't have moved us to this horror movie world first."
Xiao Honglu answered after tearing off a strand of his own hair.
"Is that so? That makes sense. By coming in first, we can set a trap and gain the upper hand."
Zheng Zha muttered to himself.
Lin Yu glanced at Zheng Zha with some surprise. It seemed that Zheng Zha was still willing to think before Chu Xuan was resurrected.
However, after Chu Xuan was resurrected, he became a gorilla who could only punch people.
"Indeed, it's not just about setting ordinary traps; they also cooperate with indigenous forces. You must know that Legend of the Gods and Demons is a modern world with powerful firearms. Even you veterans shouldn't be able to resist it easily, right?"
Xiao Honglu plucked out another strand of his own hair.
"Firearms? If they're ordinary ones, that's fine, but if it's a heavy sniper rifle or artillery bombardment, I'm not confident I can stop them, let alone other weapons."
Zheng Zha shook his head.
