    What they brought back were two small gift boxes of ten kilograms of noodles, a two kilogram gift box of Jinhua ham, and a barrel of olive oil. According to Tank's description, these things were placed in the trunk of a car and were probably for delivery.  The gift of man.  Of course, this is not enough for three hundred people, but after mixing in the roots and bark of wild vegetables and bark dug up during the day and boiling it into several large pots, they can survive for a rare dinner.  Most people temporarily put aside their worries about the future and looked forward to this delicious meal. Only a few people sat by the fire with livid faces and said nothing.  "Find a volunteer to take a bite of each pot first, and wait fifteen minutes to see if he is okay before others eat. This needs to be established as a system, and it must be strictly implemented every time we eat in the future." Li Mingfeng told a few people who could speak well.  He ordered them to build fires one by one and tell other companions.  Wang Qinian kept stirring the pot with a wooden spoon. The small ball of ham exuded an alluring smell, which diluted the tense atmosphere next to the fire.  "It should be fine." He said after swallowing a big mouthful of saliva.  "Who will try it?" Li Mingfeng asked.  "Let me do it." Several people said at the same time.  There should be no problem with today's food. The noodles, ham and oil were all just unpacked. Although a lot of grass seeds, wild vegetables and grass roots and bark were added, those things were all eaten yesterday. After what happened in the afternoon, they were still fresh.  Specially washed and soaked in piles.  This makes them feel no pressure at all when recommending themselves.  "Then let's take turns, Luo Jin, you come first today." Li Mingfeng randomly named someone.  He responded, took the spoon from Wang Qinian, and wolfed down a small spoonful of the paste mixed with various ingredients. Although it was very hot, the long-lost aroma made him swallow it all in one breath.  "Okay, take the pot off the fire and don't burn it." Li Mingfeng said. ????????? Everyone sat around the fire and pot with eyes wide open, suppressing hunger. Many people¡¯s stomachs were growling, and everyone looked at each other. The atmosphere was very strange.  In this weird atmosphere, Lin Chuan and Zeng Yu finally felt better.  "Brother Li" Lin Chuan decided to have a good talk with Li Mingfeng, but Li Mingfeng waved his hand to stop him.  ¡°Don¡¯t talk about those serious things before eating. Let¡¯s talk about it after eating.¡± He said.  But sitting like this and waiting was not an option. Suddenly someone said: "Bai Qi, sing a song for us." A girl was pushed to stand up by the people around her. She said a few words of modesty, and then said: "  There is no accompaniment, let¡¯s sing a cappella.¡± The boy who spoke earlier laughed. He searched for a while from the pile of wood that was being used as firewood, and unexpectedly pulled out an acoustic guitar.  "You have nothing to say now, right?" he said with a smile.  The girl took the guitar, sighed, then lowered her head and concentrated on tuning the strings.  She has a slender figure. Although she has become very thin after many days of hunger, she still looks delicious.  Lin Chuan disliked them for engaging in such things under such circumstances, but despite his disdain, he still looked forward to her singing like everyone else.  She played a short chord casually, which caused a burst of applause from the people around her.  She smiled softly, tried playing a few short pieces of music, and started singing while playing.  "There are no flowers that never fade. There are no waves that never fade. There is no light that never fades. What are you worrying about? There are no scars that never fade. There are no wounds that never heal. There is no despair that never stops. What are you hesitating about? Time  I never wait, life is never noisy, I¡¯m not afraid even if it¡¯s just a moment, it¡¯s the moments that make up eternity.¡± Lin Chuan had never heard this song before.  But the girl played simple chords on a somewhat broken acoustic guitar and sang the simple tune with a hint of sadness, which immediately fascinated him.  The flame trembled slowly, covering the girl with golden light, making the girl singing the song look particularly beautiful.  The entire shelter fell silent, and everyone held their breath as she tilted her head slightly and sang the chorus over and over again in a sweet voice.  "I'm not afraid even if it's only for a moment. Moments make up eternity." Lin Chuan felt relieved at that moment.  Yes, what¡¯s so scary?  Since even death can't scare him,??, what does the current difficulty mean?  ¡°At least they are still alive, at least they still adhere to basic morality, and at least they are still working together to continue living.  This is already happier than the thousands of people who have died.  Maybe Li Weilin and the others are strong, but why do they have to be like them?  There must be other methods that work. There is definitely more than one way to achieve the goal, and all he has to do is find the method that suits them.  The gentle singing relaxed his tense nerves. He glanced at Li Mingfeng, who was also listening to the singing attentively. Tears seemed to be flashing in his eyes. He didn't know what the singing reminded him of.  Zeng Yu had already cried so much that his face was covered with tears.  Lin Chuan laughed at himself.  ?Perhaps it¡¯s really a bit too much.  He was not like this originally.  ¡° He has always been a simple person, believing in himself, his companions, and never giving up. Life is so simple.  But since becoming the leader of the team, he has been passively dealing with various problems.  He wanted so much to do well that he put everything on himself, for fear that something might go wrong or that one of his mistakes would lead to unbearable consequences.  But the more this happens, the more difficulties we face and the greater our mistakes.  As a result, he became more and more nervous and anxious, and wanted to do everything well and not face failure again.  It is precisely because of this that he wished that everyone around him could do it without making mistakes, wished that everyone thought like him, and hoped that everyone would do what he wanted to do. Unknowingly, it became  A disgusting person.  Why not go back to simplicity?  The world has become like this, and no matter what you do, it is impossible to make it better. It is also a day to be worried, and it is also a day to be full of hope. Why not live a happier life?  There is no despair that cannot be stopped. Even if you can only live for this second, you must live happily for this second.  Life is nothing more than death. If you take it lightly, everything will become simpler.  As long as you work hard, there is nothing to regret even if you fail.  He figured it out.  The girl¡¯s singing finally ended, someone applauded, and she put down the guitar with a smile.  "How about one more song?" the boy said.  I don¡¯t know who¡¯s stomach growled at this time.  Everybody laughed.  "Almost fifteen minutes." Li Mingfeng asked seriously.  "Brothers and sisters who are trying the food, does anyone have a stomachache?" No one answered, everyone looked at him.  This was obvious, no one showed any abnormality.  "Is anyone feeling uncomfortable?" "I'm just so hungry." Someone said.  "After taking that bite, I felt even hungrier." Everyone burst into laughter again.  "Then let's start!" Li Mingfeng said.  People cheered and began to use various containers to eat the paste from the pot.  Lin Chuan made a bowl and gave it to Jiang Ming, who was guarding the door. When he walked back, he saw Li Mingfeng sitting next to the seat he had just taken.  "Brother Li" he said, his tone no longer filled with complaints and grudges.  "Eat first, otherwise these damn guys won't leave any for you." Li Mingfeng said with a smile.  Lin Chuan took the bowl from his hand, lowered his head and drank heavily.  Conflicts between men are sometimes resolved so simply.  "I'm satisfied" Zeng Yu lifted the pot, wishing he could put his head in and lick it clean.  "I won't eat here tomorrow unless I change the pot." Chen Jian said with a smile.  "That's too disgusting." "That's better, your share belongs to me." Zeng Yu replied nonchalantly.  Someone asked the girl just now to sing another song, but she refused with a smile, so another person volunteered to take the guitar and start playing.  ¡°Everyone, please pay attention to your volume, and don¡¯t attract monsters here.¡± Lin Chuan reminded.  The noise immediately became quieter.  "Let's discuss what's going to happen tomorrow." He called the leaders of each group over.  Lao Leng also woke up. After eating most of the bowl of glutinous rice paste, he felt much better.  Although Lin Chuan had already stated that he had not said anything to Lao Leng, Li Mingfeng went to apologize to him, but he still nodded without saying a word, indicating that he understood.  Lin Chuan told everyone about what he experienced todayAfter everyone said it again, no one noticed the change in the way he spoke and the speed of his speech. They just felt that he was no longer so aggressive.  "What do you think?" He asked the question to everyone.  "Isn't this a trap?" Wang Qinian is still a pessimist.  "Do they want to use our hands to weaken the monster and then take over the place themselves? Don't let us make wedding clothes for them in vain." "I don't think so." Lin Chuan shook his head.  "He said there were thirty-three of them. I didn't see them all, but as far as the dozen or so people I saw, to be honest, it wouldn't be difficult at all to kill us. I don't think they would think highly of us.  "Combat power." "Then they want to take over the place where we are staying?" Wang Qinian had another idea.  "No matter how ruthless they are, if we guard the entrance, they will never be able to get in." This statement was agreed by many people, and even Lin Chuan himself hesitated.  But he still expressed his feelings: "I don't think it's the case. They can take risks entirely just to kill monsters. This shows that they are not short of food, water and safe bases." "I think this is very strange.  There's a problem." Tank said.  "No matter how powerful they are, I don't believe that anyone would kill monsters for no reason unless they are tired of living." This sentence caused Lin Chuan to think deeply.  He recalled every detail he saw in that team and found that the way they did things indeed showed a kind of disregard for life.  Lin Chuan felt that he was not afraid of death, but their behavior seemed to be looking forward to death.  He expressed his thoughts and everyone was stunned. Is there really such a person?  "I have never studied psychology systematically, but I think it is possible." Chen Jian had to go out and search for his professional knowledge under everyone's gaze.  "This is actually a type of post-traumatic syndrome. Some people will be unable to face the things that scare them for the rest of their lives, while others will force themselves to face those things all the time. Many veterans who have experienced war will  Seriously out of touch with society, and even unable to live an ordinary life at all." He gave an example.  "Everyone has seen the first drop of blood, right? That is a typical patient with post-traumatic sequelae. In today's world, anything can happen. Maybe they no longer have any expectations for the future, so subconsciously they are not only prepared to face it, but  Preparation for death, and even self-destruction. " This explanation can only be reluctantly accepted by them. The next question is, should they take the risk?  At this time, Li Mingfeng talked about the results of the reconnaissance with the tank during the day.  The warehouse area of ??Ditai Temple is very large, with some residential areas mixed in. What they saw that day was only a corner of it.  In fact, behind that warehouse, there are various buildings with almost ten times the area that are also used as warehouses.  The supplies there should be enough for them to feed them for several years, but the problem is that there are so many monsters that it makes people¡¯s scalp numb, and there are many particularly huge monsters.  It took a lot of effort for the two of them to circle around without disturbing them.  "There are not many monsters in a single warehouse, but if we can't deal with them quickly, it will easily attract the monsters gathered in other places. With our current ability, even if we can get in, it will be impossible to transport things out."  Li Mingfeng said.  "Unless we can convince the group of people Lin Chuan met." "But the condition he proposed is that we must have fifty warriors like them." Lin Chuan replied.  "If we have such strong power, do we still need to cooperate with them?" Wang Qinian said angrily.  "This is simply making things difficult for others! According to Lin Chuan, they should all be soldiers or something, but we are almost all civilians. Can we compare them together?" "They have no obligation to help us."  Li Mingfeng said.  "Instead of blaming others, let's think about what we can do. Since it is cooperation, we must have something to offer." Everyone was silent.  Now their situation is that except for people who are half-starved to death, they don't have anything they want, which makes them unable to think of any possibility of exchange.  "Do they need a doctor?" Chen Jian finally asked.  Lin Chuan shook his head.  "What do you think of the bandage they gave Lao Leng?" "Better than me." Chen Jian replied dully, and then stopped talking.  "If you ask me, they are just short-sighted!" Zeng Yu said angrily.  "They would rather die in vain than help us. They are all crazy!" No one cared about this sentence, but Lin Chuan listened.  He couldn¡¯t help but look at?The singing girl, if she can move herself, can she also move Li Weilin and the others?  If the shackles in their hearts could be lifted, would they be willing to join here?  The girl seemed to feel his gaze, and her eyes quickly glanced this way.  Lin Chuan lowered his head guiltily and did not see the disappointed expression on the girl's face.
