This belongs to having both advantages and disadvantages.
There are also quite a few players who, after killing players and obtaining quite a lot of attributes, accidentally died, causing all their efforts to be in vain.
Although being unable to die counts as a disadvantage of the zombie players infected by HIM.
But at the very least, players still have the chance to choose to change back. The right to choose is in the hands of the players.
And the HIM in front, also can infect players, the players he infects after dying, will not turn back into players again.
After reviving again, they are still zombies.
It is equivalent to filling in the defect of zombie players being unable to die.
But at the same time, it also makes these players lose the opportunity to choose. Once infected by him, it seems that they can only go down one path until the end.
Xiaodao was thinking, but the HIM in front gave a definite answer.
"Isn't this what you wanted?"
"Life has never had a retreat, once choosing a path, you must walk it to the end. Since you chose the monster faction, you will forever be one of us!"
Hearing the HIM in front speak, seeing the fierce look in HIM's eyes, Xiaodao immediately felt chills all over.
The meaning of the HIM in front was already very clear, Xiaodao should never be able to turn back into a player.
Although Xiaodao indeed wanted to join the zombie faction, wanted to become stronger, at this moment, the wish is also considered fulfilled, and it's even a high-spec version, but Xiaodao still couldn't be happy.
This feeling is just like being forced to buy and sell.
Once a choice is made, there is no retreat.
If it were like this, Xiaodao would rather have chosen to be infected by the previous HIM. Although after death, all previous efforts would be lost, at least there was a choice.
Xiaodao was thinking about these things, lifted his eyes, and took a glance at the HIM in front, after their eyes met, his whole body shivered.
In those eyes emitting white light, thick killing intent had already been revealed.
Seeing this, Xiaodao no longer dared to think too much, hurriedly knelt before HIM.
"I… I am willing to follow you…"
Seeing Xiaodao's reaction, the killing intent in HIM's eyes in front of him slowly faded a little.
"You can infect everyone, those infected by you will also possess the ability to infect. The more people you infect, the stronger you will become."
"This world does not need two-faced people, even more, does not need imposters!"
Hearing HIM's words, Xiaodao roughly also understood the meaning of the HIM in front.
It was very obvious, his hostility towards the HIM previously known to the players was still somewhat strong.
Immediately, there was a feeling of "one mountain cannot accommodate two tigers."
At this moment, Xiaodao also felt somewhat troubled. Now he was equivalent to being bound to the HIM in front. That also meant he had to be enemies with the HIM known to the players.
Although Xiaodao was not like those zombie players who had deep faith in the HIM known to the players. But the strength of the HIM known to the players was clear for all to see.
Although the HIM in front seemed to also be very strong, if the two sides fought, Xiaodao didn't know who would win in the end.
If the HIM in front won, then Xiaodao would naturally be happy, and in the future, he should be able to mix well in this game.
But if the HIM in front lost, then Xiaodao was afraid there would be no future for him.
'Sigh… Forget it, what's done is done, thinking about these things is useless…'
Xiaodao also accepted his fate, he didn't know whether encountering another HIM counted as good luck or bad luck.
At this moment, he had already become a zombie, and could never turn back again, so Xiaodao had only one path to walk until the end.
He could only hope that this HIM in front could win in the battle against the HIM known to the players.
Thinking of this, Xiaodao looked up at HIM, then asked."I am willing to follow you. Besides infecting more people, do I still need to do anything else?"
Xiaodao also had no way out, only by obeying the HIM in front did he have a chance to earn a good way out.
Seeing Xiaodao take the initiative to ask about his tasks, the HIM in front finally showed a satisfied smile.
"This world will eventually be unified. What you need to do is to make more people submit to me."
Hearing HIM's words, Xiaodao also understood his meaning.
Sure enough, the HIM in front had great ambitions, he actually wanted to unify this world.
Right now, this world was indeed too chaotic. Various factions were rising, and the players' situation was also quite difficult. If it were really as the HIM in front said, and the world was finally unified.
At the very least, infected players would be at the top of the food chain. This could also be considered an enhancement for the players.
Thinking of this, Xiaodao also understood his mission. 'Looks like I have to infect as many players as possible…'
Xiaodao was just thinking when he suddenly felt a bout of dizziness.
When he woke up again, he found himself on top of the blocks he had previously stacked high on the grassland.
As soon as he opened his eyes, a severe burning sensation came from his skin.
Xiaodao glanced at the grassland below, saw that his friends were still there, and immediately breathed a sigh of relief. Seeing this, he hurriedly shouted down.
"Quick! Throw me a hat!"
His friends were also startled by Xiaodao's sudden shout.
When they looked up and saw Xiaodao's appearance, they were all dumbfounded.
"Holy crap? Bro, why did you turn green?!!"
"Dude, in just the blink of an eye, you became a zombie?! Could it be you just ran into HIM?"
"Come, come, come, I have a turtle shell hat for you, it suits you perfectly!"
After Xiaodao came down and put on the hat, his friends also poured a bucket of water on him, making him feel much cooler.
They all gathered around, entering gossip mode.
"What's going on? Bro, you went off to achieve glory alone?"
"Did Dao Bro just run into HIM?"
"We thought you bugged out, how did you suddenly disappear?…"
His friends were naturally curious about what Xiaodao had just experienced.
After recovering, Xiaodao also told them about his experience.
"That's how it is…"
"I have no way out now, as a brother, I definitely won't trick you guys, so what do you all think?"
Although Xiaodao had no retreat, he didn't want to drag down these friends who had always played together.
If they didn't want to join this HIM's faction, Xiaodao would never force them.
His friends, after hearing his experience, all furrowed their brows.
"This… Another HIM? And he says the one we knew was a fake? My CPU is overheating!"
"To be honest, after hearing Xiaodao say all this, I don't have a good impression of this new HIM… Following him seems like we'll always be in a passive position…"
"Indeed, the previous HIM also had infection abilities, but at least we had a choice. This one gives no way out, it feels like pure gambling…"
"Honestly, I don't really want to join… Even though I haven't met the HIM Dao Bro mentioned, from what he described, I prefer the previous HIM…"
His friends discussed for a long time, and without exception, none of them seemed to want to follow the HIM Xiaodao encountered.
After looking at each other, they felt a bit guilty towards Xiaodao and after thinking for a moment, they suggested.
"Xiaodao, how about you go find the previous HIM? Maybe he has a way to turn you back?"
"Yeah! I always felt that in a game, having the right to choose is more important."
"Should we contact Peng Peng and ask?"
Hearing the words of the group of friends, Xiaodao, however, rejected without the slightest hesitation.
"Even if we find HIM and provide him with this piece of information, he might not necessarily have a way to help me."
"Even if he has a way to help me and lets us become his subordinates, will he value us?"
"We don't have Peng Peng's loyalty, we don't have Black Blade's skills, and we only have one life. How difficult would it be to make it to the top?"
"Rather be the head of a chicken than the tail of a phoenix, at least I count as the first subordinate of this new HIM..."
Xiaodao knew exactly how much he was worth, and he also knew how much his friends were worth.
At this moment, fate had already given him a chance, although it was forcefully stuffed into his hands. But he absolutely could not give up on this opportunity, a person must take a gamble.
Just like he said, even if they found the previous HIM for help, Xiaodao would not likely receive any attention.
It would be better to cherish this hard-to-come-by opportunity in front of him.
Hearing Xiaodao's words, the group of friends all fell silent.
Xiaodao's words indeed made sense.
These people who were neither top nor bottom were indeed in an awkward situation now. Even if they defected to the previous HIM, they wouldn't have a great future, after all, they couldn't guarantee that they wouldn't die even once during their growth.
People like them were even less likely to obtain the power bestowed by HIM.
Rather than following the previous HIM in a daze, it would be better to become the first batch of followers of this new HIM.
The group of friends thought for a long time before finally, someone spoke.
"F***... what you said makes so much damn sense, there's no way to refute it..."
"What a great 'Rather be the head of a chicken than the tail of a phoenix'... count me in!!"
"I'll gamble too!! If we win, we rise to the top, if we lose, at worst, we just change games together!"
"Then we brothers will go all out and make a grand move!!"
