Death is not a form of release... "
Hearing the subtitle of the game Dead by Dawn from the other party's mouth, Fisher only felt an indescribable chill envelop him.
According to the other party, this sentence turned out to be the core theme of the game. If Dead by Dawn was a clue related to the couplet that Fisher obtained, then did the core theme of this game represent Chen Chen's original intention?
In other words, Chen Chen never intended to let him go...
Thinking of this, Fisher only felt weak all over and his heart was like dead ashes. He sat on the ground with empty eyes and suddenly had an urge to escape from the island.
Of course, this was just a thought. He would not fail to understand that crossing the Atlantic Ocean without any vehicles, the probability of survival was far lower than the probability of Blacklight Biotechnology sparing him out of their conscience.
"Mr. Fisher?"
Just as Fisher's heart was like dead ashes, Jennifer's voice suddenly came from beside him.
Fisher turned his head in a daze, only to see Jennifer walking over with another blonde woman and several members of the environmental organization. There was a certain determination in these people's eyes.
"You guys..."
Fisher's heart skipped a beat. Before he could ask the question, he immediately understood what this group of people was thinking.
This group of people seemed to be planning to sacrifice themselves to light up the signal tower.
He heard Jennifer say in a solemn tone, "Mr. Fisher, Anthony, the Walton, and I are going to be the first batch of volunteers to light up the signal tower."
Fisher smiled bitterly when he heard this. Just as he was about to voice his speculation, he subconsciously closed his mouth.
Although he had already guessed that Blacklight Biotechnology might not let him go, the last trace of hope in his heart still prevented him from saying anything to refuse.
Moreover, these two women, Jennifer, were really too much of a hindrance here. They were the only two women on the island and those mercenaries had been eyeing them for a long time. If he did not find a way to deal with them as soon as possible, these two women would sooner or later become the fuse that would break the relationship between him and the mercenaries.
Thinking of this, Fisher suddenly closed his eyes, revealing a look of struggle. "We might have another way..."
"We're out of ideas."
Jennifer shook her head, her expression calm. "Since this evil company is testing and mocking us with the spirit of self-sacrifice, we might as well prove ourselves with practical actions."
As she spoke, she looked at the people around her who were either sitting or lying down and said in a loud voice, "Gentlemen and gentlemen, my name is Jennifer. I believe you already know me when you joined the White Embers. What I want to talk about here is faith and glory, as well as courage and freedom... How much are you willing to pay for these essential human qualities?"
Hearing Jennifer's words, the numb crowd turned their heads and looked at the stubborn blonde woman in the center of the field.
"Life is indeed an incomparably precious thing, but for us humans living in this world, there are some things that are even more important than life, such as faith and freedom!"
At this point, Jennifer looked in all directions and looked at the pairs of dull, lifeless eyes. "The other party is toying with our will and challenging our beliefs. However, the more they do this, the more we should unite instead of guarding against each other and letting the other party laugh at us in the dark!"
Following Jennifer's words, many people gradually came over and surrounded Jennifer and her group in the center.
"Today, we'll be the first batch of volunteers to light up the signal tower. Although there aren't many of us, I believe that after we start this beginning, more people will join us and join the ranks of self-sacrifice so that the remaining three hundred or so people can live and leave this place!
"They'll carry our hatred and take revenge on this evil company!"
"Revenge!"
"Revenge!"
"Revenge!"
The crowd roared...
...
Following Jennifer's impromptu speech, the eyes of many people lit up. In just a few minutes, more than thirty people came out from the crowd and expressed their willingness to join the team and sacrifice themselves to light up the signal tower.
This scene ignited the passion of more people. Fisher's heart skipped a beat and he suddenly walked to Jennifer's side and said loudly, "Everyone, we should thank this group of people who are willing to sacrifice themselves, but don't forget that there are still five monsters hunting us outside the dark jungle. Therefore, I hope that everyone can form small teams to protect them and light up the signal tower and send them back to the safe zone safely. Can you do that?"
There was a sudden low roar from the crowd.
Seeing this scene, Fisher secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Sure enough, in desperate times, people's emotions were more easily stirred. At this time, it was very important to seize the position of leader because it was more likely for people to unite in times like this.
Thinking of this, Fisher quickly played to his advantage. Taking this opportunity, he divided the people who were willing to join into teams and began to formulate a plan to light up the signal tower.
The plan was formulated from morning to afternoon. During this period, more and more people volunteered or were coerced to join. After all, as more and more people joined, more and more people would question what the remaining people were doing. Therefore, in this snowballing situation, the lone mercenaries had no choice but to compromise and join.
Of course, it was not that there were no stubborn mercenaries who disdained Fisher's team, but these people ended up being ganged up and beaten to death by the angry crowd.
After killing two people who stood out due to the excitement of the crowd, the remaining people were either responsible for exploring the way, collecting resources, or protecting and guarding. In short, they all joined the mobilization initiated by Jennifer.
Of course, it was still very difficult to encourage others to sacrifice themselves. Most people only promised to protect the volunteers when they lit up the signal tower and send them safely back to the safe zone.
After all, everyone knew one rule of this game — if the person who lit up the signal tower died, then the signal tower would go out again.
In the end, a total of thirty-three people were willing to sacrifice themselves and become the first batch of volunteers.
These people were divided into thirty-three teams. In each team, apart from themselves, there were another five or six people who acted as guards for this trip. If they were discovered by monsters wandering in the jungle, the only task of the guards was to risk their lives to send the volunteers back to the safe zone.
"This is the most perfect response humans can come up with in the face of a crisis."
Sociologist Adenauer exclaimed, "Humans are indeed animals with this kind of potential. Of course, the premise is that there's a qualified leader. It's obvious that this Fisher is very talented in leadership. Is Blacklight Biotechnology really not considering taking him in?"
When Samuel heard this, he could not help but frown. "This kind of person is a jackal. They even kidnapped my daughter to threaten me. Professor Adenauer, I know that you yearn for the upper-class life and you're trying your best to squeeze into it, but it's absolutely stupid to target an experimental subject.
"Because when they came to this island, we've already sentenced them to death!"
Adenauer immediately shrugged and was about to say something when Professor Erickson suddenly interrupted, "Alright, you two, you can bicker at any time. Let's just watch the next development in peace."
As he said this, he looked at the big screen in front of him again and suddenly raised his voice. "Look, this group of people has divided into small teams and is starting to move out. Wait, someone is handing their communication device to the volunteers?"
Everyone was shocked and quickly looked at the screen. Sure enough, many people had taken out their communication devices and handed them to the volunteer.
"This way, those who have lost their communication device will stay in the safe zone and won't be hunted down by the tyrants. Also, the volunteers can light up five or ten signal towers instead of just one signal tower..."
Professor Erickson quickly turned to Yoru Kamidera who had been silent all this time. "Mr. Consultant, is this a loophole in the rules of the game? Should we report this to the higher-ups? "
"No need."
However, at this time, Yoru Kamidera still had a blank expression on his face. He shook his head. "The rules of this game have never been something we need to worry about because it's their own game."
As he said this, Yoru Kamidera looked at the team that was the first to approach the signal tower. His expression became more and more serious. "Our work has only just begun."
