Chapter 1275: Gasoline Shortage
Actually, I thought that there would be some opposition to the plan to leave Dongkou Province, after all, it was already very difficult for us to gain a foothold here.
However, to my surprise, everyone, even Liu Yong, agreed.
And I also underestimated everyone's sense of crisis, although the energy in our body is now gone, and it seems that we can avoid death after the end of the incubation period, but they all know that the matter is far from over, and only by completely solving the source can we get rid of it once and for all.
And then there's the real point of divergence that we're facing, and that's what I'm going to focus on right now.
About half of the people, mainly Lu Ming and Bai Ye, thought that Yuechen should be killed directly, so that the culprit could be eliminated.
Some people from Myanmar, led by Ouyang Shuo and Gechai, believed that Yuechen's death would inevitably bring about a second disaster, because the death of energy was not fundamentally related to the individual. Take Qianqian as an example, even though her physical body has long since disappeared, the remnants of her consciousness and the powerful energy left behind still make us feel headaches and fears.
As for the original team on our island, they are neutral, because ...... We don't know if the survival of Moon Dust has anything to do with the Second Calamity.
But from Yue Ling's point of view, she definitely won't let her sister be killed, so ...... I also temporarily stood in the team of Ouyang Shuo and Gechai.
At this time, I remembered what Yue Ling had just said when she talked to me alone, especially when she also emphasized that I should "convince people with reason", and now I added fuel and vinegar to the stakes that Yue Ling just told me, plus Ouyang Shuo kept emphasizing that if you kill Yue Chen now, not only will not eliminate the source, but will kill everyone, Lu Ming, Bai Ye and the others have quieted down one after another.
In the end, we came up with a compromise solution, that is, no matter what, we had to solve the problem of moon dust on Taoyuan Island. To put it simply, if we can really solve the threat of Yuechen there, then let her go, if Ouyang Shuo's method can't achieve the goal, then we still have to kill Yuechen.
But this is only a delaying tactic, because I can't bring all the people back to Taoyuan Island, and only a very few people can go back with me, first, I don't want too many people to go on adventures, and second, this time I go back to the island to do things, there are too many people to do things, it is useless, and it will only add to the chaos.
Therefore, in the following meeting, I immediately stated my initial plan, that is, my thoughts before returning to the island, that is, before we return to the island, we must first find a suitable place in South China Province, so that this can be our place to live in the sewer camp in Dongkou Province.
In fact, so far, I am also quite curious about the situation of Gu worms and energy in other places except Dongkou Province, and I can even describe it as eager to know the answer, because if the energy in other places is also gone, it can completely prove the assertion that Moon Dust is the "culprit", and it can also further increase my confidence in the next action plan.
Basically, no one objected to this suggestion, but Zhao Youkuang raised a very acute question, that is, the problem of materials.
Until now, due to the long-term chaos in Dong Kou Province, the loitering people who had the original productive capacity have also been hit hard, and we are now going to move in large areas, so they will lose more than half of their productivity.
The lack of food and supplies will completely curb all our actions, so to gain a foothold in South China Province, you must either find a huge amount of supplies or find a way to be self-sufficient.
The first condition is not possible, because the amount of supplies in Dongkou Province is enough, but even so, it is still not enough to meet our long-term needs. The number of lootings in South China Province is far greater than that of Dongkou Province, and the looting of supplies by the Blue Bird Company and the Salvation Army alone is enough to make Dongkou Province a blank slate, not to mention the sporadic looting by wanderers and semi-infected people.
So...... You don't have to think about ways to get something for nothing.
However, the second is no less difficult than the first, because neither the production of food nor other tools can be done overnight. The only thing that is better than before is that Zhao Youkuang can provide us with some dried grain seeds, and there are many people who can grow crops and experts in the production of various tools among the wanderers, but even so, it will take at least a year or more to get production fully on track.
However, we have no other option for the time being, so we can only include the second option as part of the next action.
So if you want to survive the production vacuum of this year...... Our immediate priority now is to collect as many supplies as possible, so ...... If this really doesn't work, we can only choose to send the materials from Dongkou Province to South China Province in batches.
But...... In this way, the variables are even greater, such as what to do with the robbers on the road, and where should the loss and gasoline come from during transportation?
But now it seems that the only way to do this is to bite the bullet.
However, the rest of the meeting was basically spent discussing the specific matters of migration on the road, and when I started to discuss it, I realized that there were really many problems......
Not to mention anything else, the problem of gasoline alone is a headache, not to mention the amount of gasoline that has just been transported, just the amount of gasoline consumed by us to South China Province this time will be a very exaggerated figure, at least with our current gasoline reserves are certainly not enough.
I asked Zhao Youkuang if she had more reserves there, but Zhao Youkuang couldn't do it, firstly, when the voodoo sect attacked the Qinhuai Mountains before, she had already destroyed a considerable amount of gasoline, and secondly, even if it was not destroyed, the reserves she had were not enough to support the transportation of so many people.
After thinking about it for a while, I was surprised to find that we seemed to have to walk......
"Perhaps...... We can turn to someone for help. Zhao Youkuang suggested to me at this time.
This Zhao Youkuang seems to be desperately trying to find a sense of existence among us, but now, in fact, there are not many people who really want to kill her.
"Ask for someone?" I looked around, and said in my heart Zhao Youkuang said this, then this person is clearly not in the meeting, who will it be?
Could it be...... Moon Spirit?
My guess was correct, she really suggested that I ask the Moon Spirit, saying that since the Moon Spirit was able to lead a large number of voodoo to appear here before, it means that those voodoo must have used vehicles to come, and it is impossible for so many voodoo members to come on foot.
But then again, in my individual conversation with the Moon Spirit just now, it seems that I really ignored the issue of voodoo.
The previous voodoo religion was thought to be attracted by Qianqian with energy, but now, it is still a fact that "energy attracted", but the owner of the energy has been transferred from Qianqian to Yuechen's body, so ...... What the Moon Spirit did before is even more worthy of thought.
I immediately ended the meeting, asking everyone to collect as many supplies as possible during this time, and to find out if there were any remaining voodoo members hiding nearby, and then I returned to the room where Moon Ling and Moon Dust were kept, intending to talk to Moon Spirit about her relationship with Voodoo in person.
When I went back, I was surprised to find that Yuechen had also woken up.
I don't know if it's because her energy is temporarily blocked, at this moment, Yuechen's face is a little less angry, and her eyes are not so fierce when she looks at me.
"Is your meeting over?" the moon spirit asked immediately when she saw me coming in.
I nodded.
"Did they agree to us going to Taoyuan Island?" Moon Ling continued.
"Agreed. I nodded again, "But that's not what I'm going to talk about right now. ”
Yue Ling laughed, "You want to talk about voodoo, right?"
I'm no longer surprised that the moon spirit can guess my mind, so there's nothing to be shocked about at this time.
"That's right. I said, "Let me ask you, these voodoo members who attacked Dongkou Province are obviously not people with the ability to think independently, whose energy are they controlled by?"
"You're knowingly asking, aren't you?" said the moon spirit.
"Your sister?" I glanced at Yuechen with my peripheral vision, and although she looked harmless now, to be honest, I was still a little afraid of her. So I say this very quietly.
However...... It was still heard by Yuechen.
"That's me. Yuechen's voice was very flat, so flat that it looked like a middle-aged man with a deep city.
Yue Ling also nodded at the same time: "It's her, but the relationship between us and Voodoo is not as far-reaching as you think." ”
"And what is your relationship, and are you the leader of voodoo?" I asked.
Yue Ling laughed: "If I am the leader, how can I say that I have not such a deep relationship with them? Let me tell you this, in the beginning, we and Voodoo were more of a mutual use, and this period was when I was on the villa. To put it bluntly, this mutual use is actually a game between me and the saint, but she is still a little tender in front of me. ”
"And then?" I asked.
"Don't worry, I want to make one point here, that is, the voodoo I know is actually not deeper than you, the first voodoo members I came into contact with are actually the group of saints, these members were still thinking normally at that time, and some of them even had contact and cooperation with the Salvation Army. ”
I nodded, there was evidence for this, as I did encounter voodoo in the Salvation Army-controlled basement.
Yue Ling continued: "And the members of the voodoo sect who later attacked the Qinhuai Mountains were all from the group of people under the Holy Maiden. However, the Holy Maiden later lost control of them, and I used my sister's power to capture these voodoo members and turn them into walking corpses who obeyed me. If you don't believe it, then you should think about the night you killed Chen Lie. ”
"You know, I wasn't the one who killed Chen Lie......," I said, "it was your sister who killed her." ”
"It's all the same. Yue Ling smiled again: "Didn't a lot of voodoo members show up that night? ”
"So you admit that you planned the attack on the Qinhuai Mountains, right?" I said, "What are you doing this for?"
"Those wanderers don't deserve it. Yue Ling said: "But now it is different, there is no advantage here compared to other places, after all, the retreat of energy is in full range, and the cold here has become a disadvantage." ”
......
I cursed in my heart, and said in my heart, could it be that the clue of Voodoo was broken here?
I only heard Yue Ling continue: "That's all we know about voodoo, you don't have to think too highly of them, this voodoo sect is not as good as the birthplace of the Gu worm virus, and it is not even as powerful as the rising stars of the Burmese Gu Master." ”
"Then how did you come here when you came to Dongkou Province before?" I asked, "There are so many people, it's impossible to walk, right?"
"Oh, so you're worried about transportation!" said Yue Ling with a look of sudden realization.
But I believe she was clearly faking it, and she probably knew what I was going to say from the moment I entered the door.
But I nodded in cooperation and said, "That's right...... At most, the subway can reach the border of Dongkou Province, and it is certainly unrealistic for so many of us to walk from the border of Dongkou Province to South China Province. ”
"I can try to help you. Yue Ling said.
"Try? What do you mean? Is there anything you can't be sure about?"
Yue Ling shook his head: "Those voodoo people did come by car, and they also have a reserve of gasoline, but since my sister's energy was banned, we don't know where those voodoo people are going. ”
"Aren't they all coming to their senses and running away?" I said worriedly.
"It's impossible to come to your senses. Yue Ling said: "Although I don't know the reason, but when those people followed the Holy Maiden, their brains were already abnormal. ”
Yue Ling's words are true, when I woke up in the villa area, I did find that most of the masked people looked stupid......
I saw that Yue Ling's face suddenly became serious and said: "But now they are indeed gone, so I can't be sure where they are now, all I can do now is to take you to the place where they stored their vehicles before, if we are lucky, we will be able to get enough gasoline, at least enough to transport all your people and supplies to South China Province." ”
