Mystery makes me strong

Chapter 2731 World Domination
In the refrigerator shelter.

The light shone on everyone's face, illuminating their regretful expressions.

If they had known that the two were so strong, they should not have been so arrogant before.

Amid Zhang Meng's passionate words and the two men's faintly visible fists.

The survivors sincerely realized their mistakes one by one.

They apologized to Li Cang one after another, with varying degrees of guilt and apology on their faces.

An apology meeting began.

Although everyone knew that they were acting, they also knew that Li Cang knew that they were acting.

But this formality must be gone through. Only after this formality can we proceed with the rest.

Everyone can then pretend that the incident has passed and continue to work together.

It can be said that "hypocrisy" is a necessary skill for human beings, which ensures large-scale cooperation among people.

Although everyone hates it and thinks it is a derogatory word.

But it is precisely indispensable.

If everyone is straightforward, there will be no lubricant, cooperation will not be possible, and conflicts will arise among each other.

The first person to come forward and apologize was old Thompson.

He is an old man who enjoys great prestige among the players.

His face bore the marks of time, and his eyes shone with a very sincere light.

But Li Cang knew that this guy had once brutally killed his two sons just because they had taken his food.

He walked up to Li Cang and bowed deeply.

"Great Li Cang, I apologize to you for our previous rudeness." Old Thomson's voice was hoarse but powerful. "We did not realize your sacrifice and hard work. We only saw the results but ignored the process."

Li Cang looked at Old Tom and a feeling of disgust surged in his heart.

But he still smiled and nodded, accepting Old Tom's apology.

Because what he is going to do next, he still needs these guys to cover him.

Then the young woman, Erica, came over.

There were tears in her eyes and her hands were clasped together.

She is sincere.

Because at the very beginning, it was she and her husband who stood up and spoke for the two of them.

"Li Cang, I'm really sorry." Erica's voice trembled, "I don't know what you have been through, I don't know what you have done for us."

"I know everyone is wrong, but I can't stand up and persuade them. I hope you can forgive me."

Li Cang patted Emily on the shoulder.

There was a hint of sincerity in his eyes.

He sighed, "It's okay, Erica, I understand you, we are all fighting for survival."

The atmosphere of apology spread quickly.

The atmosphere gradually relaxed.

Everyone felt embarrassed at first, but following the lead of Old Tom and Emily, others also began to apologize to Li Cang.

Their expressions varied, some looked ashamed, some looked dissatisfied, and some looked relieved.

……

And at this time.

Xiao Huan asked Wen Rensheng:

“Why don’t they all apologize sincerely?”

"Why are you still thinking about all these things even though you're apologizing?"

“There were only one or two people who actually apologized.”

Wen Rensheng shook his head and said, "This is the human heart, a complicated human heart. Above survival, below rules, in between the two, is the human heart."

"It keeps swinging between these two aspects. Without survival, even the most basic needs of individuals cannot be met, and the human heart will slide into the worst and become the heart of a beast."

"Without rules, if personal power breaks through the restrictions of the rules, people's hearts will also slide into the worst and become the heart of a demon."

Xiao Huan blinked his eyes to indicate that he didn't understand.

"You don't understand human nature, so your ability of transformation cannot break through to the highest level." Wen Rensheng shook his head.

"Oh, I see."

……

At this time, a middle-aged man, John, had a look of relief in his eyes.

He walked up to Li Cang and stretched out his hand.

"Li Cang, I wronged you before. I apologize to you." John's voice was trembling. "I am willing to follow you. I want to face the challenges of the future with you."

Li Cang held John's hand with a smile in his eyes.

"Thank you, John, let's work on this together."

As more and more people apologized to Li Cang, the atmosphere in the camp gradually eased.

People started sitting around.

They began to share food and stories, and they began to rebuild trust and friendship.

They are looking forward to the end of the world.

Li Cang sat on a chair.

There was a hint of cunning in his eyes.

He looked at Zhang Meng.

He kept convincing himself in his mind.

The rabbit is dead and the dog is cooked, and the bird is hidden.

The great emperors of the past were showing us the way.

And he knew that this was just the beginning for him.

If he wants to have his own power, he still has a long way to go.

You have to be ruthless!
If a person is not ruthless, he will not be able to stand firmly.

After all, this involves the highest level of personal power grab.

……

And at this time.

Zhang Meng walked up to Li Cang.

There was a hint of admiration in his eyes.

“You did a great job, Li Cang,” Zhang Meng said. “You brought us together.”

Li Cang took the opportunity to say, "Haha, yes, the atmosphere is so good today, and there is hope that the doomsday will end. Why don't we hold a banquet?"

“It’s also a good way to celebrate our victory and unity.”

Zhang Meng didn't notice much.

He was also a little greedy.

At this time, the weakness in human nature, his slightly less ambition, made him unable to suppress his desire for delicious food.

……

Wen Rensheng found this very interesting.

The general trend often does not change.

But when it comes to personal destiny and family fate, it often just happens in a moment.

For example, one dynasty follows another.

However, which family becomes the ruler of the dynasty is likely to be changed by external factors.

Perhaps a natural disaster, perhaps a drunken moment, would have led to a different outcome.

Just like Cao Cao, if he had not wasted too much time in the early stage and spent nearly ten years attacking Yuan Shao, he would not have had no time to continue to unify the world after unifying the north.

He defeated Yuan Shao, and then sat back and watched the infighting within the Yuan family.

It seems smart, but some people have analyzed that this is a typical outcome of "taking small advantages and suffering big losses".

Sometimes it can be seen that some victories must be achieved quickly even at a great cost.

If you wait longer, the cost will be lower, but you will also lose valuable opportunities.

At the beginning, Cao Cao only wanted to become a powerful official, but he did not have the determination to change the dynasty, which made him choose to wait slowly.

As a result, the later generations were not strong enough and did not produce two outstanding rulers in succession, thus wasting the strategic opportunity.

Now, Zhang Meng and Li Cang have reached a period of strategic opportunity for both of them.

He naturally wouldn't interfere.

He just wanted to see the results and add some mystery to the mix.

The interweaving of the fate of such people and the general trend is very interesting.

……

Afterwards, Li Cang began to host the banquet enthusiastically.

“I hope this banquet can be a new beginning, an opportunity for everyone to let go of the past and look to the future together.”

"Let's take out the canned food, instant noodles, and drinks we have in stock!"

When everyone heard this, they cheered.

The player survivors got busy, collecting all the food and drinks they could find, and despite limited resources, they tried their best to make the banquet a sumptuous one.

Some candles were lit, and the festive candlelight illuminated everyone's face and warmed everyone's heart.

Oh, it's the heat of the apocalypse, that's fine.

People’s hearts are naturally warm.

Li Cang stood in the center of the shelter, his eyes filled with genuine excitement.

"Tonight, we celebrate our victory and our unity."

His voice resounded in everyone's hearts, immediately arousing everyone's expectations.

As the banquet officially began, the survivors sat around the long table, sharing food, stories and drinks.

Laughter and conversation echoed through the camp, breaking the silence of the night.

Li Cang took out his treasured wine.

There was sincerity in his eyes.

"Zhang Meng, I prepared this wine especially for you," he said. "You have made the greatest contribution."

"Everyone, should we all give him a toast?"

"Correct."

"Mr. Zhang should be given a glass of wine."

Everyone had different thoughts at this moment.

More people are thinking about supporting Zhang Meng and checking Li Cang.

Some people also think that they should curry favor with Zhang Meng, after all, the latter is also very powerful.

So everyone started to take advantage of this opportunity to toast.

Zhang Meng took the wine glass. He was actually not used to drinking.

"This glass of wine is a token of our gratitude to you."

Li Cang then raised his glass first and drank it all.

Zhang Meng looked at the crowd's anticipation and cheering, he had no choice but to drink it as well.

The wine flowed into his throat, and a choking feeling spread throughout his body.

My head suddenly felt a little dizzy.

Then one after another came up to toast.

He drank more and more happily, his mind slowly became excited, and he drank more and more.

The alcohol began to numb his brain, causing him to lose consciousness.

As the banquet progressed, Zhang Meng began to feel dizzy.

His vision became blurry and his consciousness began to blur.

He realized that Li Cang was using alcohol to make him unconscious.

"Oh no, Li Cang, you..." Zhang Meng's voice became unclear.

His last bit of rationality made him regret.

"You can't do that. The result of your doing that will be destruction."

"You know, there are gods above us."

He used up his last bit of strength to speak.

Li Cang smiled, with a hint of apology in his eyes.

"Zhang Meng, I have to do this," he said. "I need you to get some sleep for a while."

Even gods cannot stop him from gaining true power!

He didn't want to struggle anymore.

He didn't want to be an ant, or an athlete watched by the gods.

He wants to be the master!

Zhang Meng's body slowly fell down.

His eyes closed, and his breathing became steady. Li Cang looked at Zhang Meng, his eyes showing a hint of complexity.

After all, Zhang Meng is indeed a good person.

The banquet continued, but the atmosphere seemed to become a little heavy.

The player survivors watched as Zhang Meng suddenly passed out drunk.

They seemed to realize something.

There was a hint of doubt and worry in each of their eyes.

"Li Cang, why are you doing this?" Erica rushed forward and asked.

Li Cang took a deep breath and looked at everyone coldly.

"You won't understand if I do this."

"Because you don't know the truth behind it."

"All you need to know is that I'm doing this to protect all of us."

He said: "Zhang Meng possesses a powerful force, but he doesn't know how to use it."

He looked at everyone, then turned and left.

People moved out of the way.

Li Cang knew that in order to gain real power, he had to resort to the most ruthless means.

He decided to go to the location of the hot core, absorb the power of the core, and transform it into his true power.

Li Cang crossed the forest again and crossed the dry river.

He came to the huge underground space again.

That's where the hot core is.

The lava in the lava pool was rolling and emitting a fiery glow.

In the center of the lava pool, the hot core was suspended quietly, emitting dazzling light, as if calling Li Cang.

It's just a child.

Curious about all new life.

Li Cang stood at the edge of the lava pool. He could feel the heat from the core and its power.

He took a deep breath, and his body began to change, his skin starting to glow.

He used the power he gained when he first awakened.

He believed that was his real power.

Li Cang began to try to communicate with the hot core as well.

His spirit gradually extended, passed through the air, and connected with the core consciousness.

He could feel the power of the core, could feel its heat.

"Give me your power."

“I’ll give more.”

"I'll give you everything you want!"

He began to try to absorb the power of the core and transform it into his true power.

Following Li Cang's communication, the hot core began to respond.

Its heat began to flow into Li Cang's body.

His skin began to glow a more intense red light.

Li Cang could feel the power of the core flowing through his body, and his body began to adapt to this power.

His body began to change.

His muscles became energized.

He was freed from his mortal body.

His brain tissue began to crystallize.

His consciousness began to break away from the simple bioelectric structure.

He began to transform into a life form similar to AI intelligence.

His eyes became sharper.

His strength was greatly enhanced by the stimulation of his core.

His body became stronger, his speed became faster, and his strength became more amazing.

In short, it is similar to a small Superman.

At some point, Li Cang walked out from the lava pool.

His body was covered in flames and his eyes glowed with new power.

He knew that he had become the master of this world.

……

Li Cang stood above the world.

He looked down.

His body was surrounded by the doomsday forces of cold and heat.

There was an unprecedented power and confidence in his eyes.

He had been one of the survivors.

But now, he has the power of Doomsday.

He became the Creator.

He began to absorb the heat.

Soon, the heat of doom receded and the world began to return to normal.

He is like a child in an anthill.

When children are happy, it is good news for the ants. A few pieces of candy can help the ants survive the winter.

When a child is angry, it is a disaster for the ants; a pot of boiling water is a natural disaster.
