"Cough … … Cough cough … …"
Hu Tao, who was covered in mud, crawled on the ground, coughing as she stared at the corpse of the Hypertoxic Lizard with a pale face. Fortunately, she was already dead. Otherwise, she would really be dead now.
But even if they were dead, Hu Tao did not feel good. The entire bottomless swamp was filled with all kinds of human and animal corpses. There was even excrement and disgusting smelly mud. At this moment, Hu Tao was so depressed that she even wanted to find a place to take a bath and change her clothes!
"Now you understand that this is different from the game."
Fangzheng looked at Hu Tao with an amused expression and shook his head.
"You know, this is only the lowest level mission, and reality isn't a game. There's no chance for you to reload … … How do you feel now?"
"Disgusting … … Ugh … …"
Fortunately, Hu Tao hadn't eaten much during this time. Otherwise, she would have vomited just looking at the filth on her body.
"You should be glad that the Hypertoxic Lizard only tried to eat you."
Fangzheng snapped his fingers, and the next moment, the mud and other filth on Hu Tao's body vanished. The girl was restored to her original radiant state.
"If it was a goblin or a goblin, they wouldn't be so kind. They would pounce on you, take off your armour, and play with your body … … Do you need me to go into more detail? If you do, I can describe the whole process in 5,000 words. "
"No, no need … …"
Hearing this, Hu Tao's face turned even paler. Although she was careless, she was still a girl. She naturally understood the meaning behind Fangzheng's words. But hearing Fangzheng's words, Hu Tao still could not believe it.
"Is this world … … really so dangerous?"
"Of course. How do you think the mercenary you replaced died?"
Fangzheng pointed to the mercenary nameplate hanging around her neck.
"She went to encircle the Goblins with her companions, but they failed and were captured. She was then played to death by the Goblins. If the other adventurers hadn't cleared out the Goblins, you probably wouldn't even have found her corpse. This was the life of a mercenary. It was completely different from the life in the game. They risked their lives to do things and had to face all kinds of dangers at any time. And this was from the wild, from those evil creatures. Apart from that, you also have to face the threat of humans. Mercenaries often scheme against each other, and even backstabbing is not uncommon. There are even people who infiltrate other mercenary groups as spies and quietly grow stronger. Then, they take the opportunity to kill the leader and bring the others to their original leader …. "
Having said that, Fangzheng shrugged.
"You still have a chance to think about it, and you have to understand that the living environment in this world is not as good as the Tendo Temple. As you can see, most of the places here are still in the Middle Ages or the early industrial revolution. Here, you have no internet, no TV, no air conditioning. And you don't have time to eat desserts with your friends, watch concerts, or play games together … … This is more dangerous than you think. Even so, do you still want to continue? "
"… … …"
This time, Hu Tao didn't answer immediately like before. Just as Fangzheng said, as a zombie, she might not be afraid of death. But Hu Tao was still a girl after all. She might not be afraid of death, but thinking about what Fangzheng said … … it was enough to make Hu Tao feel fear.
Originally, Hu Tao was full of confidence in becoming a mercenary. In Hu Tao's opinion, she had killed a lot of zombies in the Resident Evil World. It could be said that she had been through hundreds of battles and had seen blood. Being a mercenary should be simple and ordinary. In addition, she was a zombie and could not die. Naturally, she was full of confidence.
But now, it seemed that the little bit of experience she was proud of was useless.
Even if she didn't die, there was no benefit. If it wasn't for Fangzheng's help just now, perhaps Hu Tao would have to stay in this bottomless swamp for the rest of her life.
"And I also want to make one thing clear. In a critical moment, you can indeed seek help from the Tendo Temple, but you must know that I formed this mercenary group to act as the peripheral eyes of the Tendo Temple. In other words, the Tendo Temple and this mercenary group will not have any superficial contact. Maybe I can sponsor some start-up funds, but other than that, all the troubles and difficulties you encounter will have to be solved by yourself. Once the situation is dangerous enough for the Tendo Temple to intervene, then this mercenary group will disappear. You must return to the Tendo Temple immediately. After all, there are still a lot of troubles and enemies in the Tendo Temple. Once your identity is exposed, the other side will focus their attention on you. At that time, it will be more dangerous. "
Fang Zheng had to make these things clear first. It was impossible for his identity as a spy to be exposed. Furthermore, due to the geographical location of the Heavenly Law Palace, many factions were unable to extend their hands into it. They could only look on helplessly. But if they know that there is an organization of the Tendo Temple in the inland, then they will certainly try to find a way to test it. Therefore, Fangzheng must ensure that this mercenary group won't expose their relationship with the Tendo Temple. Once it is exposed, they must immediately retreat.
If it was only the Kuang San, Fangzheng would be very relieved. With the Kuang San's ability, there was no need to worry about these problems. But Hu Tao was different. Even if she had seen blood in the Resident Evil world, she was still just an ordinary high school girl. But the living environment in the main world was much more dangerous than the place she stayed in.
Fangzheng didn't say it before because he also found that Hu Tao seemed to be a little arrogant, so he decided to let Hu Tao calm down first before making any plans …. Well, it seems that being soaked in the bottomless swamp for more than ten minutes is indeed enough to calm someone down.
"… ….."
After listening to Fangzheng's words, Hu Tao was silent for a while. Then, she gritted her teeth, stood up, and picked up her shovel.
"Don't try to be brave."
Fangzheng glanced at Hu Tao.
"It's not shameful to retreat, and it's not shameful. This is only part of the danger in the main world, and it's the lowest level. Otherwise, why didn't I let those little girls come here? Do you really think they're weaker than you? Caution is the first thing to do. If you're doing this for the sake of losing face, or if you feel embarrassed and want to force yourself, then don't. There's only the three of us here, and no one will laugh at you. "
"No …. Brother Fangzheng, I've made up my mind."
However, in the face of Fangzheng's warning, Hu Tao shook her head.
"To be honest, I don't know what I should do. After leaving that world, everyone is living the life they want, but I … I don't know what I should do."
While saying that, Hu Tao looked at her hands.
"I've become a zombie. I'm different from Yuri and the others. Although everyone treats me well, they have their own lives. Miss Li Mi is doing well in the 'Faran Show', and I want to find something I can do. But … frankly speaking, I don't know what I should do either. "
Hu Tao raised her head and looked at Fangzheng.
"However, I want to give it a try, Brother Fangzheng."
"Well, since you've said so, I have nothing else to say."
Upon hearing the girl's answer, Fangzheng shrugged his shoulders. Hu Tao had already raised it to the level of a 'life goal.' Indeed, it was not his place to say anything else.
"But remember, safety first. If you really encounter any trouble, you can contact me for help. To outsiders, you can say that I'm a roaming mage in the mercenary group, and I'm usually doing important tasks. Of course, that's only for me. If you really encounter trouble that requires the help of the Tendo Temple …. You know what to do. Also, listen to Kuang San's ideas. She's more experienced in this area than you. "
"Yes, Brother Fangzheng!"
Hearing this, Hu Tao clenched her fists tightly and nodded.
"I'll try my best!"
