Lin Chuan kept calling several times, but less than fifty people regrouped according to his command. Some people came to gather at the beginning, but when they saw that others were still looking for something to eat, they left the team. Got out. "It's been an hour, and we've only walked less than a third of the way." Lu Guangping stood next to him and said anxiously. "Let's go." Lin Chuan suppressed the frustration deep in his heart and pretended to be meaningless. "Only those who can act in unison and follow orders and prohibitions can survive. I firmly believe in this. If they want to break away from the group, let them go. People who abide by the rules cannot be implicated because of their behavior." "But the collective Only less than one-sixth," Lu Guangping said in surprise. "They will follow us when they see us leaving." Lin Chuan replied. ¡°What if they didn¡¯t keep up?¡± Lu Guangping asked. ¡°I didn¡¯t keep up¡± Lin Chuan hesitated for a moment, then replied. "Those who have not followed up have no collective consciousness at all, so let them fend for themselves." Li Mingfeng may have anticipated this situation before proposing the grouping, but Lin Chuan just failed to think that people who do not abide by discipline will so many. The thought of leaving so many people behind made his heart aching. When everyone elected him as the leader of this group more than a month ago, he once vowed that as long as he was alive and moving, he would not give up on anyone. But should he really stop and wait? The longer they delay, the less time they have to find shelter. If they don't find a safe place by nightfall, the team will face disaster. They finally began to move forward. In the end, there were only about 80 people following the team, but after getting rid of those who were dawdling, the speed suddenly became much faster. Maybe it¡¯s because the monsters have eaten most of the people in this month. When they walked in the city, they found almost no trace of human activity. Jianghai City under the sun was as quiet as if it were in the middle of the night. "Ten minutes of rest." Lin Chuan looked at his watch. He was less than one kilometer away from the meeting point, but there was still half an hour left. It wasn't wise to stay in one place for a long time, so instead of waiting for the others at the rendezvous point, he decided to take a break here. "Let's go check out the surrounding shops." He called to the men around him who seemed to still have some energy left, and began to look around for possible supplies. Finally, after prying open a newsstand, he found many drinks and snacks. "We are rich!" Zeng Yu smiled happily while holding half a box of potato chips, while others happily looted the place. Biscuits, potato chips, instant noodles, candies, mineral water and drinks, when they carried these items back to the resting place, there was a burst of wild cheers. "Oh~~~~" Zeng Yu sat on the ground without any grace, chewing a bag of potato chips, and let out a groan that made people laugh or cry. But the others just laughed and watched him play tricks, sharing the spoils they brought back. ¡°I never thought that I would feel so happy after eating a whole pack of instant noodles.¡± One person sighed. The other person drank one-third of his bottle of Coke in one go, wanting to shake all the liquid on the bottle wall into his mouth. ¡°It¡¯s really like I¡¯m dreaming.¡± Someone sighed. Lin Chuan looked at them with a smile. The biscuits he was given had already been stuffed into his stomach, and a third of a bottle of mineral water made him satisfied. The sun shone on his face, making his whole body warm. He is full of hope for the future again. "Ah~~~!" Suddenly, a faint scream came from a distance. Lin Chuan stood up. The sound came from the place where they just came. "Brother Lin?" Jiang Ming ran over with a gun. "Us?" he asked, looking at Lin Chuan. Lin Chuan looked at the end of the street. Several figures were running away desperately. Behind them, a huge figure was tearing something with his head lowered. "Let's go!" he shouted to the people around him. "Bring these empty bottles with you, they might be useful. Hurry! Let's go to the meeting point!" The other two groups seemed to have just arrived. Li Mingfeng's group still had nearly 150 people, while Wang Qinian's group only had 150 people left. Less than forty people got off. "Have you met a monster?" Lin Chuan asked them. Li Mingfeng shook his head, while Wang Qinian nodded sadly. ¡°When you encounter a monster whose true shape is invisible, everyone runs away,¡± he said. "Did it chase me?" "No, it followed the person who ran in the wrong direction." "Most of the people in my group stayed on the roadside looking for something to eat.??These guys followed. Lin Chuan said. "The people who stayed behind encountered a monster, less than four kilometers behind." " "let's go. "Li Mingfeng said immediately. "Do we still need to divide into groups? "Wang Qinian asked. "Now there are less than 300 people. How can we divide them into groups? Li Mingfeng replied. "The people who can stand here are all people who can listen to orders and can organize and act. It is more advantageous to gather people together now." " Lin Chuan vaguely felt that Li Mingfeng was already prepared to eliminate so many people in his words. He frowned and did not say anything. The whole team was completed quickly. The most important thing was that the number of people was reduced by nearly two-thirds. reasons, but it is also true that most of the remaining people have relatively good discipline. Although he does not agree with Li Mingfeng's idea, Lin Chuan also has to admit that after the number of people has been reduced, he feels that the team's cohesion and combat effectiveness have increased a lot. The other two groups seemed to have found some food and drink, and their physical strength and energy were not a little better than when they had just crawled out of the hole. They began to move quickly along the planned route. This time, Li Mingfeng arranged for the tank to bring some. One person acted as the outpost, while Lin Chuan took the initiative to lead three people as the defender at the end. ¡°Is there something wrong? "Li Mingfeng came down and asked as he walked beside Lin Chuan. Lin Chuan had been frowning since just now, which caught his eye. "It's nothing. Lin Chuan replied, but he finally couldn't keep it in his heart. "Did you do it on purpose?" " he asked. "What? " "You proposed to divide the people into three teams and let us ignore those who are left behind. You had expected it? Did you do this on purpose? Lin Chuan lowered his voice and asked. He suddenly felt a sense of sadness and anger. It was like this when he knew someone was eating corpses in the cave, and it is like this now. Why does Li Mingfeng become like a stranger. "If I say no, Do you believe? "Li Mingfeng was silent for a moment, and then asked. Lin Chuan shook his head. "Then why do you need to ask me? " "I want to hear your explanation. " "What explanation does this need? "Li Mingfeng asked back. "You want everyone to survive. This is a good idea and absolutely correct. But have you ever thought, is this possible? " "Why is it impossible? " Lin Chuan said immediately. "As long as we all go all out and unite" "Don't deceive yourself. "Li Mingfeng interrupted him. "Lin Chuan, you are a good person and a very adaptable person. People like you are likely to survive in this world, but not everyone can do it like you. . " He sighed. "Not everyone can be rescued, and not everyone should be rescued. We originally had a lot of resources. If we only had the three hundred people we have now, we could live very well in that hole, and even dig many passages out, turning that place into a real shelter. " "Do you think those women, children and the elderly are a burden? " Lin Chuan asked angrily. He couldn't forget those old people who took the initiative to reduce their rations. If Li Mingfeng said such words, he would definitely punch him in the face. "No, I never thought about it that way. , I'm just telling you a fact. Although it is cruel, the world itself is already so cruel that you cannot always live in a dream. Li Mingfeng replied. "When Chen Jian first started rescuing people, he always hoped to save everyone. He would keep using medicine as long as there was a glimmer of hope. But what was the result? Our medicines were quickly used up. Those who consumed the most medicines could not save anyone. However, those who later became sick and injured had no medicines to use. Originally, an antibiotic or an antipyretic medicine could save them. But they can only wait to die. If you ask Chen Jian now, he will tell you what he has learned. Only save those who are easy to save. This is the most efficient use of resources and can save more people. " Lin Chuan shook his head. "You are quibbling, this is different. "He said to himself. "What's the difference? Li Mingfeng asked. "There have been nearly four thousand people in that cave. How many people can survive in the apocalypse?" Many people have never thought about what to do on their own, and will only wait for others to save them. They usually can't help with anything, but they have the loudest opinions when sharing food and water. When they want to contribute, they either hide aside or say they can't do anything. They make the loudest voices when they complain and are tired, but they run the fastest when they are in danger. In today's world, there are not many opportunities to survive. Do you think they should share it with those who give silently? Is this fair? " Lin Chuan was speechless. Li Mingfeng continued: "I used to think like you. I was the one who let those people in later.You can see the result. Among those who ate corpses, those who joined later were the most numerous. Look at Lu Guangping, how hungry is he? But I am still supporting everyone every day. But those who eat corpses never think about taking less, as if all this is natural! Why? Are people with a good conscience and a sense of responsibility inherently indebted to them? " "This is no longer the past. In the past, indulging these people was just a waste of resources and reduced efficiency. But now, indulging such people means letting good people suffer on their behalf, and letting good people die on their behalf! "He shook his head. "I can't continue to tolerate such things happening. I will never allow such people to exist in front of me! " "But if you do this, many innocent people will die! " "Are they innocent? When they choose not to obey orders and obey the rules, they are ruining the opportunities of those who obey the rules. They are no longer innocent. " Lin Chuan stopped, and Li Mingfeng stopped immediately and turned to look at him. "I can't say anything about you. Some of what you said may be right. Maybe you see the world now more thoroughly than I do, but you The starting point for considering the problem is simply wrong. Lin Chuan said. "I just ask you, who is worthy of being saved?" At what point does he deserve to be saved? If nothing happened to my sister-in-law and they took refuge in that cave with us, and they got sick, very seriously, would you want Chen Jian to use all means to save them, or would you want him to analyze them as rationally as you do now? Are they worth saving? Analyze whether saving them is the most efficient way. When you are seriously injured, do you want us to desperately try to save you, or do you want us to rationally give up on saving you because there is no more medicine? " Li Mingfeng couldn't answer. He knew that Lin Chuan was also quibbling and could refute him with countless examples. But he was tortured by these two questions and could not give an answer. "We are falling behind. Lin Chuan patted him on the shoulder and said. "I know what you want to say, and I also admit that some of my ideas are unrealistic." But I still insist that we must have limits and principles when doing things, and we cannot overthrow our original morality and order just because this is the end of the world. Some people don't stand up, not because they don't want to; some people break the rules, not because they want to. " "Let's go quickly. "He gave Li Mingfeng a hand. "No matter what we do, we must at least be worthy of our conscience. "
