Chapter 1078: Human Microphone

The man didn’t bother asking about the survival rate. He snorted and said sullenly, “Just lay out your plan and requirements.”

“It’s actually not complicated…” Sun Xu immediately began, “First, you walk to a spot about thirty meters away from them… If you take this as the starting point, thirty meters is roughly halfway along the straight line from here to the factory. This way, even if they want to attack you, I have enough time to save you, understand? Of course, they will also be wary of this distance, which greatly reduces the chance of them attacking you. The next important thing is what you say. What you need to do is lure them out, or at least get them to talk to you.”

The man listened silently to Sun Xu’s explanation, but at this point, he suddenly sneered, “I get it, you want me to be the decoy, right? Why didn’t you just say that from the start? Why bother with survival rates! Do you think I’m blind and can’t see what happened to them?” He pointed at the scattered pieces of flesh on the ground, gritting his teeth, his emotions visibly rising again.

“What, do you think I was just wasting time?” Sun Xu wiped his face again and said, “But if that were the case, why would they bother with such an attack? They must know that this kind of counterattack is meaningless. If they truly didn’t care, they would just ignore us and save their energy. I’m sure they’re furious right now. Even if they’ve managed to suppress it, it could easily flare up again. But you don’t need to be so scared; I’m not asking you to curse at them. I want you to negotiate.”

“Negotiate?” someone nearby couldn’t help but ask.

Sun Xu nodded, “After all, they’re not zombies. Or monsters. The strange noises you heard before were likely just an act. Besides, can monsters fly planes? So as long as they’re human, there’s room for negotiation.”

“They’ve lost people, how do we negotiate?” the man interjected coldly.

The others nodded in agreement, though none mentioned that they had also lost people…

“I’ve thought about that too. Analyzing their behavior, they don’t seem like the type to give up. But we can think from a basic perspective… Why did we attack them in the first place?” Sun Xu asked.

He Zhen frowned and replied, “Because… they might be after the food?”

“That’s one reason, but also because they seemed intent on staying, so we sent Lu Ren to probe them. Otherwise, even if they weren’t interested in the granary, they might discover the issues in Dawn Town. With two different possibilities, we couldn’t be sure.”

Sun Xu paused, looked at the man, and said, “Your first task is to raise this question. To keep the conversation going, you can bring up the granary directly. And to prevent them from killing you on the spot, you need to say this…”

He thought for a moment, then leaned in close to the man and whispered for a while.

The man listened without any change in expression, leaving it unclear whether he understood or had any thoughts.

After finishing, Sun Xu straightened up, seemingly unconcerned about the man’s thoughts, and said directly, “Every step I just told you is crucial. Especially the last step, if you don’t make any mistakes, I guarantee you won’t die. Once you survive, I’ll tell the Boss to enhance your spider. Even though you’re not a superhuman, after the enhancement, your status will be almost on par with mine.”

“What…”

Hearing this, the surrounding people were momentarily taken aback, with some eyes lighting up immediately. However, seeing the man’s gaze and the flesh on the ground, they quickly calmed down. No matter how good the reward, surviving was the priority. Status wasn’t the most important thing here, but…

Judging by their appearances, most of these people were middle-aged, with some looking almost fifty or sixty. In contrast, Sun Xu, despite his graying hair, still looked quite young… Moreover, in front of Sun Xu, they had no room for resistance, not even as much as a bug. A bug could at least bite, but they couldn’t even entertain the thought of acting…

The so-called spider enhancement was actually a form of evolution. Once a regular male spider evolved into a more advanced type, it wouldn’t need to die and be replaced frequently. This way, there would be no need to consume large amounts of blood to sustain the male spider’s growth. But whether there were other benefits, these people had no idea… Regardless, such an enhancement was already very tempting. If the task weren’t so dangerous, some of them might have volunteered to take his place…

“If you’ve understood everything, you can go now.” Sun Xu calculated the time silently and said.

Although the man had appeared calm earlier, his hands started trembling uncontrollably at this point. After giving Sun Xu a deep look, he slowly turned around and walked forward with slow steps. As he entered the factory’s main gate, everyone’s hearts skipped a beat, even the man’s. But after two seconds, the factory remained silent, with only a thick smell of oil spreading, mixed with some strange scents that the man couldn’t identify, but subconsciously knew was the smell of burning corpses.

His mind was clearly blank at this moment. After walking five or six meters inside, he slowly regained his senses. His body twitched nervously, and he couldn’t help but recall the woman Sun Xu had mentioned… He had seen many dead people, but only that woman’s image remained vividly in his mind…

“Damn it! Why do I still remember! And mentioning it now, is it to make me accept my fate and die with her? The chances of survival…” the man muttered incoherently. By the time he reached about thirty meters, his eyes had already turned somewhat chaotic. Looking at the blood-splattered Iron Door, he felt as if he could be killed by a sudden force at any moment. And just as he had this thought, a strong sense of life-and-death crisis suddenly emerged.

“The person stopped.” Black Silk turned around, looking up and speaking softly, “Hehe… Seems like he’s not here to die, no spiders released yet.”

“What? Not coming over? What’s he up to? If he’s surrendering, might as well kill him directly!” Ye Kai said viciously.

Yuwen Xuan suggested, “Brother-in-law, if you help me aim, I can take action too. Although my moves aren’t as impactful as yours, I can show them what it means to seek death in style.” 𐍂АＮöᛒÊṨ

“Burning someone alive isn’t as impactful as the captain’s… Are you being modest or insulting?” Mu Chen glared at him.

“Surrender? That’s impossible. Their goal is definitely to get us out,” Xu Shuhan said.

Ling Mo thought for a moment, then smirked slightly and said, “Let’s hear what he has to say. Or rather, what the leader wants to convey.”

“So he’s a human microphone?” Ye Kai asked.

Ling Mo nodded, “That’s the only possibility.”

“Isn’t that just trying to play tricks?” Mu Chen said disdainfully. Ling Mo had merely thrown the corpses back, and the other side resorted to these petty tricks. How quickly they cowered! They were still waiting for the other side to get angry and charge over!

“Heh… That person is very rational; he won’t be easily fooled. Just curious about what he plans to say,” Ling Mo said.

Then there was a silence, as everyone waited for the survivor outside to speak… During the wait, five seconds passed… ten seconds passed…
