Urban Legends: The Legacy of Ancient Civilizations

“There are many dangers along the way, and death is inevitable, and everyone knows this.

In the subsequent exploration process, no one can guarantee anyone's absolute death, and no one can guarantee anyone's absolute survival. This is also very clear to everyone.

Death is determined by the nature of the operation and the risk pattern at the outpost research base.

There is no room for negotiation on this kind of risk. "

Gogol's response at this time is less like a rebuttal and more like a rhetorical guide for persuading desperadoes.

From Gogol's point of view, everything is a fair transaction - it is precisely because there is a risk of death here that there is a possibility for their desperadoes to make money.

It is very business-like, with a touch of Gogol's unique ruthlessness, completely ignoring the actual feelings of the desperadoes, let alone the possibility of betrayal by the desperadoes.

This kind of rhetoric is more like a low-level moral kidnapping, using work rules to drive human life away from moral kidnapping.

A slightly childish sophistry, this is simply not the competitive level that Gogol should show, and it is even less likely to appear at such a critical moment when he is ready to go.

Faced with Gogol's substandard response, Jiang Yingxue was also puzzled. This was obviously not a meaningless perfunctory. Is there a more special reason hidden in this superficial response?

"Are you kidding me?"

Jiang Yingxue asked back with a smile on her face. The common method of retreating in order to advance was more like a loud slap on Gogol's face.

For a moment, Gogol's expression became strange again, and that half-smiling face flashed away, as if he was feeling the pleasure of success.

Faced with Gogol's reaction, Bai Ning was suddenly shocked. Gogol was the nominal commander here, and no matter how ridiculous his actions were, he should still be respected.

Therefore, the above series is more like an attitude test.

You must know that in the subsequent exploration of the outpost research base, no matter what suggestions Gogol provides, even if someone here wants to give negative ideas, they will not be able to come up with a feasible verification system.

You may not believe Gogol's slightly childish persuasive words at this time, but there is really nothing you can do against him.

Just like the result of the previous confrontation, as long as Bai Ning and others still need Gogol's help, then his importance to the entire team is self-evident.

Regardless of whether the command in Gogol's hands is nominal or not, he can subtly strengthen the overall control of the team.

It is no exaggeration to say that as long as Gogol is willing, he can trick everyone here through a piece of half-truth and half-false information!

No matter how angry you are before you die, you can't tell whether Gogol did it deliberately, because he has proved one thing through his actual actions: sometimes his suggestions are reliable, and sometimes they are not.

Based on this multi-party game, Bai Ning now has only one very clear idea:

As long as the depth of cooperation with Gogol is strengthened and Gogol is not disgusted with stupidity because of some meaningless actions, then the probability of Gogol causing obstacles in subsequent cooperation will be greatly reduced.

Respect is always mutual. The reason why Gogol likes the strong is simply because he wants to achieve his own goals through the power of the strong.

Anyone who cannot help him achieve his goal is, in Gogol's eyes, a bunch of absolute fools who can be tricked and killed at will!

Therefore, when Jiang Yingxue, whom Gogol recognized as an idiot, participated in the speech, Gogol showed this strange look that was half-smiling but not smiling.

This deliberate statement is a hint and a warning.

Very dangerous warning!

"When we set out, we made it clear that you are the guide of this team and have the power to make important decisions at critical moments.

There is no doubt about this, and we have given due respect to all your important reminders in the past. I think you know this better than anyone else.

The following adventure is full of risks, and it is not the responsibility of Jiang Yingxue and I, nor of Ivan and his men, nor of you alone.

Only by working together can we survive this risk safely and get what we want. "

Jiang Yingxue was very surprised by Bai Ning's repeated emphasis, because it was a disguised compromise.

Could it be that Bai Ning has discovered something unusual in Gogol's response?

“The most important thing is to come up with a brief exploration plan as soon as possible.

Ivan's men are not special forces, they don't know how to do special operations. "

Jiang Yingxue continued to follow Bai Ning's topic, trying to put more pressure on Gogol, but this behavior once again made the weird smile on Gogol's face disappear.

Jiang Yingxue spoke twice in a row, but his attitude changed 180 degrees. This is an indirect manifestation of dominance.

It is no exaggeration to say that all the goals that Gogol wanted to use Jiang Yingxue to achieve have been achieved. What he used could be Jiang Yingxue's dislike of Gogol, or Jiang Yingxue's overall expectation to prove himself.

It can be seen from this that everything Gogol did after joining the team was not without purpose.

"Boss Jiang is right. We can't just have meaningless arguments on a conscious level. Only by formulating a specific exploration plan as soon as possible can we better appease people's hearts.

Gogol, you are the person who knows this place best, and you must be the leader in formulating the plan. I wonder what suggestions you have for this. "

Bai Ning deliberately said "Boss Jiang" mainly to enhance the connection with Jiang Yingxue. This is a kind of forced identity binding, trying to make Gogol understand that no matter how great his indirect influence is, he is only part of a group.

As for the subsequent emphasis on the need for specific plans, this is more of an exchange of interests - leadership also means reciprocal responsibility.

Everyone who comes here to explore is not cannon fodder in Gogol's hands, they are just collaborators with relevant interests.

Regarding Bai Ning's overall statement, Gogol just chuckled indifferently for a moment, and his slight shrug seemed a bit contemptuous and indifferent.

"This outpost research base is indeed a trap left by the Soviets, and countless souls are buried in it.

In this regard, I know you have expectations, but the overall intensity of expectations seems to be somewhat insufficient.

Hundreds of people have died in this empty warehouse. Your manpower is not even qualified to deal with the crisis.

As for the expedition plan, that passage is the only way to the underground level.

As for the follow-up exploration plan, you can come to me for inquiries after you have figured out the overall layout of the underground floor. "

Seeing that his command authority was completely clear, Gogol's temperament completely changed, and his unstoppable energy burst out instantly, and its scorching brilliance seemed to be able to melt everything.

Captured by Gogol's momentum in front of her, the expression in Jiang Yingxue's eyes also changed continuously. A majestic sense of crisis lingered in her heart, making her no longer dare to underestimate the madman in front of her.

Is it possible to hide all your strength by hiding to this extent?

Looking at the completely different Gogol in front of him, Bai Ning's heart trembled slightly, and he became somewhat wary of his forbearing nature.

Forbearance is the key to reversal and survival, which further illustrates the crisis here. Even a madman like Gogol has to deal with it with all his strength and caution.

The danger in this secret base is a murderous plot carefully planned by the Soviets, and it cannot be underestimated.

As for the mission mentioned by Gogol to explore the underground layer, this mission, which sounds light and airy, must have an extremely strong smell of blood.

"Gogol, you said that there are mountains and seas of dead bones buried here, but there is nothing here, which means there must be something here to clean up the killing battlefield.

You wouldn't tell us that the objects of this kind of cleaning are some extremely dangerous scavengers, right?

In addition, in addition to these dangerous genetic organisms, there must also be great terror in the dangerous variables in the outpost research base.

Isn't it a bit too childish for you to arrange a task of exploring the underground level of the base so lightly? "

Bai Ning cannot rush into the base without knowing anything. He must squeeze out all the information in Gogol's hands. This is an overall demand that must be implemented from beginning to end.

"Your bold guess has a very keen sense of smell and the direction is right.

Scavengers do exist, but they do not come from inside the base, but from outside.

There is no flesh and blood in the base to support them, so they will only gradually gather here after smelling the smell of blood.

As for the dangerous branch structure on the underground floor that you want, I'm sorry, I really don't have it here.

The only thing I can tell you is that the dangers here are changing every moment. If you want to find a way out, you can only rely on your excellent on-the-spot adaptability.

The difficulty of this kind of response is not too high. The most difficult part is the third underground floor, which is where I need to take action. "

Gogol's statement was very clear. The first two floors were conquered by Bai Ning and others, and the third underground floor was the time for Gogol to take action himself.

Such a clear division of labor is very fair, and there is absolutely no room for fault.

"It can't be a fantasy maze, right?"

Jiang Yingxue asked coldly, without any hint of joking.

This sounds ridiculous at first, because this is an outpost research base, so how could its overall layout turn into a maze?

But this was obviously not a frivolous casual inquiry. It was Jiang Yingxue's bold guess based on the current situation.

Bold and cautious, this is Jiang Yingxue's overall mental state after integrating into the current game pattern.
