Chapter 137 The psychology of hard work

Zhou You, who was following the truck, had also been using the optical zoom function of his mobile phone to observe the micro-expressions of these human drudges when they saw their fellow humans.

Their behavior is completely different from that of the traitor Duke.

When people like themselves arrived and appeared, the peons were confused at first.

This confusion mostly stems from the despair and numbness caused by long-term abandonment.

But after this brief period of confusion, the expressions of ecstasy and tears of joy that quickly appeared on their faces did not appear to be false at all.

Even the best actor before the collapse of human society would never be able to perform these many details.

Therefore, Zhou You thought to himself that although they were forced to become rats' tools and forced to work, and they might even have taught rats a lot of things, they were essentially different from Duke and were not traitors.

At this time, there are about two thousand rat supervisors in the construction area, which is slightly less than half the number of human workers.

These overseers are obviously the real elites who stayed behind. They all wear helmets with wooden spikes on their heads, and the first half of their bodies are also covered with wood spliced ​​armor that is obviously made by human hands. It looks exactly like those in ancient wars.

Iron Float Picture.

The elite are the elite, and the rat overseers didn't panic at all when they saw the sudden change. They immediately decided to kill the human workers nearby.

One of the giant rat warriors took the lead in turning around and charging towards a middle-aged woman in front of him.

The spikes on its helmet were pointed at the woman.

Based on the relative speed of the woman and the mouse warrior at this time, the woman's vest will be pierced by the spikes in about three to four seconds.

The woman knew nothing about the danger behind her, she only knew howling and running towards the sweeper.

The other people behind the woman did not notice the sudden situation at all, and did not even have the consciousness to issue a warning.

At this time, most of the people present were paying attention to the human reinforcements who appeared like divine soldiers from heaven.

Their hearts have been filled with the emotion called "saved."

Fortunately, Zhou You's attention was focused on the hard workers at this time, and he happened to see this scene.

At this critical moment, Zhou You did something that he would never have done normally.

He raised the right arm of the humanoid robot flatly, pointed it forward, and then fired a hinged heavy crossbow at the mouse warrior more than ten meters away based on his feeling.

There is indeed an element of gambling involved in traveling around.

If he had done nothing, the woman would have died, but he had done nothing wrong and no one could blame him.

But now at such a distance, the targets being shot are still moving, and they almost overlap in the horizontal direction. The method of aiming is all based on feeling, using humanoid armor with a layer of control, rather than using the body to control it.

firearms.

It is entirely possible that Zhou You's arrow missed. Instead of hitting the mouse warrior, it hit the middle-aged woman first, killing her on the spot.

Then Zhou You failed to save people, and instead became a crime.

But he took action without hesitation after all.

In the next moment, the crossbow arrow passed by only a centimeter above the woman's head, and then hit the top of the giant rat warrior's head.

The wooden helmet was like paper and meaningless in front of this heavy crossbow arrow with strong penetrating power.

The heavy crossbow arrow completely pierced the head of the giant rat warrior Shou, penetrated its body, and then pierced out from its chest, piercing the earth beneath it.

The giant rat warrior didn't seem to notice it at first, still running forward relying on inertia, but the crossbow arrow completely penetrated his body and dyed the arrow shaft bright red.

After all, the wooden spikes on the giant rat warrior's helmet failed to hit the middle-aged woman.

The not-so-sharp tip only slightly scratched the woman's thigh. The pain was so painful that the woman, who had just been frightened by the crossbow arrows flying over her head, screamed in surprise and quickly looked back.

"Sweeping truck, stop immediately!" Seeing that he had successfully rescued the woman, Zhou Youzai immediately issued a new order and said so.

Now the mood of these human drudges is not quite right. They have fallen into a panic effect. Their emotions are completely out of control. It is difficult to obey the instructions, so Zhouyou has to let the sweeper stop on its own.

Otherwise, if the wire broom sweeps into the crowd, a large area will be killed.

The driver of the sweeper was none other than Gao Zhanying, who served as the on-site command adjutant. He reacted very quickly. He immediately braked the vehicle as soon as he received Zhou You's order, and it only took less than a second to pull the electric broom next to him.

The control valve rope stopped the electric broom.

After that, Gao Zhanying also noticed the strange movements of the mouse supervisor over there, and even jumped up to the dashboard below, threw himself in front of the loudspeaker microphone of the sweeper, and shouted: "Everyone, please pay attention, don't patronize."

Run towards us! Immediately alert the rat overseers around you! We don’t need you to fight, but you must protect yourself first and try to survive, and leave the rest to us."

Gao Zhanying's words probably had some effect. There were still about two to three hundred people at the scene who were relatively calm and had already noticed the rat overseer chasing after them.

When the two or three hundred people heard this, they immediately took action. While shouting warnings, they immediately turned around and faced behind them.

The peon who was already holding a knife for cutting wood in his hand had already begun to raise the knife, preparing to meet the enemy.

But more hard workers are unarmed.

They were equally panicked, but no one wanted to fall before dawn.

The more critical the moment, the more people can shine.

They still bravely turned around and pounced on him.

Someone was pierced by a wooden thorn in the body, but he did not die immediately. Instead, he allowed the wooden thorn to stay in his body, locked the rat warrior's weapon with his body, and stretched out his hands to grab the rat in front of him to prevent the other party from letting him go again.

to hurt other people.

There was also someone who was extremely agile and dodged the rat's thrust, then pounced on it from the side, grabbed the wooden armor on the rat warrior's body, and tried to overturn it.

Given the current state of mankind, it is indeed difficult to kill a mouse with bare hands if there is no weapon in hand.

But these people who were brave and decisive enough bought some time to escape for other people who were still confused and still only knew how to run away.

Those people also took action immediately.

Some people obeyed Gao Zhanying's instructions and immediately dodged to the side, trying to press their backs against something so they could only be attacked head-on. This was mainly to protect themselves more conveniently.

But while they were protecting themselves, bloodshot eyes were filling their eyes, their breathing was getting heavier and heavier, their heartbeats were getting faster and faster, and their crazy and angry emotions were rising little by little.

Endless murderous intent is boiling in the hearts of these people.

There is no doubt that once a mouse really tries to pounce on them, they will be met with the most violent resistance.

Some people are even more motivated to fight.

They immediately searched for weapons around them that could be used to fight, such as wooden sticks hanging on the ground, working tools that had been thrown away by others, and wooden spikes on the helmets of rats that were charging towards them.

In an instant, the scene fell into unprecedented chaos.

He was tortured and enslaved for a long time, and watched helplessly as his compatriots were dragged away and eaten in front of him again and again. He endured it again and again for the sake of his relatives and friends, in order to wait for someone who could avenge his parents and children.

They persevere for opportunities, waiting hard day after day for opportunities, but they can only watch their compatriots getting fewer and fewer. The hearts of these hard workers are always on the edge of madness and collapse, and they may go in either direction at any time.

tilt.

They are always walking a tightrope in their hearts.

In the past, these hard workers were not without resistance.

On the contrary, there were actually at least 6,000 workers in this small factory at the beginning.

After a few days, there are now only about 3,700 people here, and the death toll exceeds 2,000.

Although it is true that people in Mouse Oversight are not treated as human beings, and everyone here is doing real hard labor. But logically speaking, with the current physical quality of human beings, there really shouldn't be such a high mortality rate.

The truth of the matter is that there are always people these days who can't stand working for rats, and who know full well what they do to humanity.

They also believe that no matter how hard they try and how cooperative they are, sooner or later they will die in the mouths of rats.

So these people never really surrendered, and were always looking for opportunities to escape or resist.

In addition, many people have suffered psychological breakdowns and become crazy.

Rats do not talk about humanism, and there is no way to treat mental illness. Once someone loses the ability to work after a collapse and has no use value, he will be immediately downgraded from a tool to food.

The more than 3,000 people who are still alive today have already seen many tragedies in the world. If they are still alive today, they are already the "winners" in the cruel law of natural selection.

Most of these people have a tough mind, or their inner self-protection mechanism is strong enough and has not had time to collapse, or they have been hit too hard and passively chose to become numb.

But now, with the mighty reinforcements appearing, the inner emotions of these enslaved and tortured laborers have found an outlet.

At the beginning, the peons dropped their tools without hesitation and chose to escape. This was a sign of psychological collapse, just like the mutinous deserters on the battlefield.

But once the rat overseer wields the butcher knife to wipe out the last glimmer of hope of these hard workers who have just seen the possibility of salvation, the situation will become different.

The rat supervisor who was the first to take action was shot to death by Zhou You from a distance. The fear of rats in the hearts of these hard workers was instantly broken.

Then, two to three hundred of the most bloody people in the crowd took the lead in blowing the horn for counterattack.

The anger of the hard workers was completely ignited and completely rose to the sky.

They began to resist, and began to face the enemy more bravely and crazily.

If Zhou You and other regular troops advance a little slower and are delayed for tens of seconds more, I am afraid that these more than 3,000 hard workers will be killed or injured at least dozens or hundreds more.

But fortunately, the troops led by Zhou You are highly mechanized.
