Chapter 858 Are you sure you are ready?
"Cough...Ahem...Ahem..."
The walnut covered in mud crawled on the ground, coughing while staring at the corpse of the poisonous lizard not far away with her pale complexion. Fortunately, she was dead, otherwise she would have died now.
But even if she died, Hu Tao felt bad. The entire bottomless swamp was full of corpses of humans and animals, as well as excrement and disgusting mud. Hu Tao was already so depressed that she was even desperate. She even wanted to find a place to take a shower and change clothes!
"Now you understand, this is different from the game."
Looking at Hu Tao with amusedness, Fang Zheng shook his head.
"You have to know that this is just the lowest level task, and reality is not a game, and it doesn't give you the opportunity to read the file and start over... How do you feel now?"
"So disgusting... oh..."
Fortunately, Hu Tao hasn't eaten much during this period, otherwise she would have vomited out just by looking at the dirt on her body.
"You should be glad that this poisonous lizard is just trying to eat you."
Fang Zheng snapped his fingers, and the next moment, the mud and other filth on Hu Tao's body disappeared instantly, regaining the girl's original glorious appearance.
"If it were goblins or goblins, they wouldn't be so kind. They would knock you down, take off your armor, and play with your body... Do you need me to explain in more detail? If you need it, I can use five thousand words to describe the whole process."
"No, no need..."
Hearing this, Hu Tao's face turned pale. Although she was careless, she was also a girl, so she naturally understood what Fang Zheng said. However, when Hu Tao heard Fang Zheng's words, he was still a little disbelief.
"Is this world so dangerous?"
"Of course, how did you think the mercenary you replaced died?"
Fang Zheng pointed to the mercenary nameplate hanging around her neck.
"She went to encircle goblins with her companions, then failed and was captured, and then was played to death as a goblin play. If other adventurers hadn't taken over the group of goblins, you wouldn't have even found her body. This is the mercenary, which is completely different from the game. They are doing things with their heads in hand, and they have to face all kinds of dangers anytime and anywhere. This is still in the wild, from those evil creatures. In addition, you have to face threats from humans. It is not uncommon for mercenaries to intrigue and even stabbing them in the back. Someone will also sneak into other people's mercenaries as undercover agents, then silently sit down, and then take the opportunity to kill the leader and take the others to their original leader..."
Speaking of this, Fang Zheng shrugged his shoulders.
"You still have the opportunity to consider now, and you have to understand that the living environment in this world is not as good as the Heavenly Dao Palace. You have also seen that most of the areas here are still in the Middle Ages or the early stages of the Industrial Revolution. You don't have the Internet, TV, and air conditioning here. And you don't have time to eat desserts, watch concerts, or play games with friends... This is more dangerous than you imagined. Even so, do you still have to continue?"
“……………………………”
This time, Hu Tao did not answer immediately like before. As Fang Zheng said, as a zombie, she might not be afraid of death. But Hu Tao is still a girl after all, maybe she is not afraid of death, but thinking about what Fang Zheng said... is enough to make Hu Tao feel scared.
Originally, Hu Tao was still full of confidence in being a mercenary. In Hu Tao's opinion, she had cut and killed many zombies in the biochemical world, which was considered "experienced in many battles and had seen blood". Being a mercenary should be simple and ordinary. In addition, she was still a zombie and would not die, so she was naturally more confident.
But now it seems that the little experience I am proud of is useless.
Even if you don’t die, it’s no good. If Fang Zheng hadn’t helped him just now, Hu Tao would have really stayed in this bottomless swamp for the rest of his life.
"And I would like to make a point that when the critical moment, you can indeed seek assistance from the Heavenly Dao Palace, but you should know that this mercenary group was formed as the outer eyeliner of the Heavenly Dao Palace. That is to say, the Heavenly Dao Palace and this mercenary group will not have any superficial connection. Maybe I can sponsor some startup funds, but in addition, all the troubles and difficulties you encounter need to be solved by yourself. Once the situation is so dangerous that it is necessary to come forward, the mercenary group will disappear, and you must return to the Heavenly Dao Palace immediately. After all, there are still many troubles and enemies in the Heavenly Dao Palace. Once you reveal your identity, the other party will focus on you, and it will be even more dangerous at that time."
Fang Zheng must first make clear these principles. The identity of the outer eyeliner cannot be exposed. Moreover, due to the geographical location of the Tiandao Palace, many forces cannot reach out and can only sigh. However, if they know that there is an organization of the Tiandao Palace in the inland, they will definitely try their best to test it. Therefore, Fang Zheng must ensure that this mercenary group will not expose its relationship with the Tiandao Palace, and will evacuate immediately once it is exposed.
If it were just Kuang San, Fang Zheng would be very relieved. With Kuang San's ability, he really didn't have to worry about these problems, but Hu Tao was different. Even if she had seen blood in the biochemical world, she was just an ordinary high school student after all, but the living environment of the main world was much more dangerous than where she was originally staying.
Fang Zheng didn't say it before because he also found that Hu Tao seemed a little floating, so he decided to calm down first and then make plans... Well, now it seems that being soaked in the bottomless swamp for more than ten minutes is indeed enough to make people calm down.
“……………………”
After hearing Fang Zheng's words, Hu Tao was silent for a while. Then she gritted her teeth, stood up, and picked up her shovel.
"Don't show off."
Fang Zheng glanced at Wu Tao.
"It is not shameful to retreat, nor is it shameful. This is only part of the dangers of the main world, and it is the lowest part. Otherwise, why don't I let those little girls come here? Do you really think they are worse than you? Carefulness is the first element. If you can't get over the face or feel embarrassed, you still don't have to. There are only three of us here, and no one will laugh at you."
"No...Brother Fang Zheng, I've decided."
However, facing Fang Zheng's warning, Hu Tao shook her head.
"To be honest, I never knew what I should do. After leaving that world, everyone lived the life they wanted, but I... I don't know what I should do."
While talking, Hu Tao looked at his hand.
"I have become a zombie. I am different from Yuri and the others. Although everyone treats me well, they also have their lives. Miss Limi is doing very well in the 'Flan Xiuxiu' side, and I want to find something I can do. But... to be honest, I don't know what I should do."
Speaking of this, Hu Tao raised her head and looked at Fangzheng.
"But, I want to give it a try, Brother Founder."
"Well, since you said that, I have nothing to say."
Hearing the girl's answer, Fang Zheng shrugged, and Hu Tao upgraded this to the height of "life goal", and he really didn't have much to say anything.
"But remember, safety is the first priority. If you really encounter any trouble, you can contact me for help. You can say that I am a wandering wizard in the mercenary group and make important entrustments on weekdays. Of course, it is limited to me. If you really encounter troubles that require the Heavenly Dao Palace to come forward... You know. Also, listen to Kuang San's ideas on weekdays, she is more experienced than you in this regard."
"Yes, Brother Fangzheng!"
Hearing this, Hu Tao clenched her fists tightly and nodded.
