Chapter 130: The Root of the Psychological Shadow
Being stared at such turbid, crazy, and irrational eyes, even John, Sally and others fled all the way to the beach from a large number of "unintentional people" to find a way to get on the survivor of this cruise ship. At this time, a chill surged from the tailbone and headed straight for his mind.
Without giving them time to think, the crew members who were infected with "heartless disease" either picked up knives, showed their teeth, and ran over.
These are people who work in the kitchen and do not have guns.
The group of people at the door of the cold storage survived after the destruction of the old era, and their experience was abundant. Although they were trembling with cold, their heads were condensed with white frost, and were startled by the situation in the kitchen, they still quickly reacted and raised the weapon in their hands.
"Use your ability with caution!" I don't know who shouted.
John made a clever move and interrupted the "laziness" that was about to be used.
He instantly figured out what the one who just shouted out meant:
The cause of the current outbreak of "heartless disease" is unknown. It may be related to the chaotic and crazy state of the previous few nights. In this case, the ability to use it rashly may make yourself confused and even get infected with "heartless disease"!
Bang bang bang, da da da da da, Shang Jianyao, Sali and others pulled the trigger.
A large number of bullets poured out and shot the crew member who was working in the kitchen on the way to rush over.
Looking at the blood splashed everywhere and the corpses on the ground, John, who didn't want to be compared to others, took the initiative to say:
“Maybe we have to go out and see what’s going on.
"If you have the chance, leave this cruise ship as soon as possible and get on the island!"
He didn't want to stay for a long time on this weird and terrifying cruise ship.
John's idea coincided with the others present, except Shang Jianyao, without objection. They rushed out of the kitchen with weapons.
"You can't do this! You don't have any tactical qualities!" Shang Jianyao ran behind him while "heartbroken".
He means that John and others do not have any division of labor and cooperation. Although they maintain a certain distance between them, they are easily taken away by others, and they are like a group of mobs.
This is not because John, Sally and others have no experience. They simply lack tacit understanding, fight each other and be wary of each other.
Fortunately, there are no "unintentional" in the corridor outside, and they are as empty as if they have been abandoned for a long time.
The group of people rushed out of the kitchen without any attack or interception and arrived at the small deck on this floor quite smoothly.
The continuous gunfire followed their ears, causing them to subconsciously slow down and observe around them.
Dadada, this is the sound of machine guns firing wildly, it comes from outside the cruise ship.
John turned his head and looked at Shang Jianyao, and found that the companion was already on all sides, crawling towards the edge of the small deck.
After hesitating for a second, John chose to do it.
Sally and others looked at each other, and were infected by this cautious attitude and followed him to the ground.
They alternated their elbows and quickly arrived at the edge of the small deck.
The first thing that caught their eye was the dense crowds of people trying to step on the land through the gangway on the large deck below.
This is one or two thousand, with different hair colors, but the eyes are equally turbid, and the mouth is roaring like beasts from time to time, while those with weapons in their hands seize the advantageous terrain and shoot wildly on the dock.
"No heart disease"!
Almost all passengers and crew members suffered from "heartless illness"!
Seeing this scene, John, Sally and others' pupils dilated sharply, and their bodies stiffened there, as if they were struck by lightning.
They are all familiar with similar scenes. When the old era was just destroyed, they have witnessed it to more or less!
Against the backdrop of dense gunfire and constant screams, the whole scene was like the end of the world.
Almost at the same time, Shang Jianyao felt that the atmosphere around him became depressing, heavy, as if it were the essence.
Then, he felt the feeling of the owner of the "912" room at that time:
On the one hand, I am glad that I was hiding in the cold storage and was not infected with "heartless disease", and successfully avoided a disaster, which caused a little joy. On the other hand, I was afraid and fearful. I don't know why I and others can remain rational, and I am not sure if I will become a member of the "heartless person" below when I encounter similar things in the future.
Under the fog called "Unknown", no one can guarantee it.
Sally turned her gaze to the fortifications on the shore and the armed personnel who were rushing to the scene one after another, swallowed his saliva and said in a deep voice:
"We'll go back to the kitchen and hide before we get out when the battle is over."
He was afraid that he and others would be discovered by the "unintentional ones" and surrounded - by then, even if there were several abilities in the team, they would be outnumbered, and they were also worried that they would be affected and be killed by the residents of Spessi, so they did not want to stay outside.
As far as Shang Jianyao knows, in this era before the New Year, the surviving humans had more superficial and blind understanding of "heartlessness", and often had various extreme behaviors due to uncontrollable fears.
Under normal circumstances, since most people on this cruise ship are infected with "heartless disease", the remaining lucky ones will definitely be considered to be carrying viruses and need to be eliminated. I would rather kill the wrong ones than let them go.
If it weren't for John, Sally and others who were awakened, they had unique abilities, Shang Jianyao would not think that they could still land on the island alive and be quarantined.
As the group of survivors carefully returned to the cabin, Shang Jianyao felt that the surroundings faded quickly and became clear again.
A deck appeared in front of him, and the passengers on the deck were in groups of three or five, chatting about the past.
He returned to the moment he first boarded the cruise ship again.
"Isn't this considered breaking through this psychological shadow?" Shang Jianyao raised his hand and rubbed his chin.
His expression quickly became gloomy:
“It definitely doesn’t count.
"Since the owners of the '522' and '912' rooms have lived to this point, it means that they were not infected with 'heartless disease' at that time and successfully climbed onto the Island of Spasey. We just inspired this hidden ending and figured out what happened in the end, and did not solve the corresponding fear.
"What is certain now is that such a terrifying change has become a psychological shadow for the owners of the two rooms, making them always worried that they would suddenly get infected with "heartless disease". Only then did they slowly overcome this fear.
"Maybe for a long time they dare not take the boat again."
Shang Jianyao nodded to himself:
“If you want to truly get through this psychological shadow, it seems that there are several directions:
"First, take a boat more often in reality and contact more people with "unintentional" to bring in the emotions and states that are not afraid of being infected with "unintentional disease" to see what changes are there;
“The second is to figure out why the passengers and crew members in this psychological shadow can interact with me like real people;
"The third is to investigate the source of the chaos at night."
After saying that, he covered his mouth and yawned:
"It's too much to consume today, so I'll continue tomorrow."
…………
Inside the jeep, Shang Jianyao opened his eyes.
He didn't rush to sleep, but sat up and looked at Jiang Baimian, who was huddled in the front row in the dim bonfire and starlight outside the window.
In the past few days, Jiang Baimian has used the powerlessness and anxiety he felt in the ruins of the wasteland No. 13 to mobilize his own desire to be stronger in the spiritual island of "Dead Silent Company", trying to break the fear of losing relatives, friends, companions and current life.
She didn't think she would be afraid of losing these things, but just tried hard to transform this fear from a stumbling block into a driving force to move forward.
After adjustments, she gradually got better and felt that she was about to find the right direction.
After brushing, Jiang Baimian opened his eyes.
She subconsciously looked to the back row and met Shang Jianyao's four eyes.
Jiang Baimian blinked:
"It's midnight, don't be so scary, okay...
“As soon as I exited the ‘Sea of Origin’ and was about to go to bed, I felt something in the darkness staring at me.
"How is this exploration gained?"
Shang Jianyao nodded and briefly talked about the past and mutations he had found in the "522" room owner John and the last day's mutation.
Jiang Baimian was very focused when he heard this and gradually frowned.
"In the end, it turned out to be a 'heartless disease' that swept the vast majority of people..." When Shang Jianyao finished speaking, Jiang Baimian muttered to himself, "Is the chaos before it a manifestation of 'dark' erosion? When the erosion accumulates more and more, the 'heartless disease' will break out?"
This is a speculation based on the current gains and judgments of the "old tuner group".
Shang Jianyao's eyes lit up:
“Doesn’t this mean there may be nodes on the cruise ship that connect with the ‘New World’?
“It is the influence of this node that allows humans on the ship to interact?”
Jiang Baimian nodded gently and said:
“Look for it next time.
"Sleep well now!"
The sentence after her increased her tone, worried that Shang Jianyao would try it now despite his fatigue.
"Okay." Shang Jianyao did not show off and pointed to the car door, "I'll go and solve it first."
"Didn't you just been there before going to bed?" Jiang Baimian was a little surprised.
How long has it been?
Shang Jianyao answered sincerely:
"I ate and drank a lot on the cruise ship, and my body reacted with stress."
"..." Jiang Baimian was speechless.
Shang Jianyao opened the car door, called Gnava, and walked to the edge of the parking lot camp.
At this moment, he glanced at the corner of his eyes and saw some strange phenomena:
A hunter was constantly shaking his arms there, and someone spitted a bubble out of his mouth...
