Chapter 491: Human Desire
"It's so bad, it's like crossing the river and demolishing the bridge." Li Ling's fists clenched very tightly, thinking of his dispatcher, Caesar, the three-star king-level killer of the Killer Alliance, Li Ling was extremely annoyed.
Yate looked at Li Ling like an alien and said: "What's wrong with this, this world is like this, I can only say that your ideas are too different." β
Li Ling knew that this was the overall situation, and he couldn't change anything at all, since he couldn't change it, he had to go with the flow, otherwise, it would be a way to be trapped.
"You provide food first, even if those people can't return to their hometowns, I want to give them a few more days to stay in this world." Li Ling also knew that Lu Dao could not control the overall situation.
"Hey, it's really a woman's kindness." Yat shrugged helplessly, and continued with a slight sigh: "Okay, I'll supply you with food for the time being, but as soon as the one-year period is up, we will kill ninety-nine percent of the people in the name of escaping, and the remaining one percent will be considered to be really qualified to return to their hometown and receive a refining stone." β
Li Ling pondered for a moment, found the crux of the problem, and said with his eyebrows: "Since the major counties are afraid of refining stones, then if I can convince everyone not to wash their heads, as long as some ordinary rewards, you see if they have a chance of survival." β
Yate never expected that Li Ling would say this, he didn't expect it, but he didn't know how to answer Li Ling's words, after all, this is a matter of major counties, how could he, the chief guard of Longyang County, interfere with the affairs of other counties.
"I can't make my decisions about this, I can only convey your meaning to the dispatchers of the major counties now. Also, you may not be able to convince that group of people not to wash the stone, don't believe it. You can give it a try. Art smiled with a hint of wisdom.
"I think life is more important than the refining stone, and I will definitely convince them." Li Ling snorted coldly.
"Oh...... Is it? Don't let him be confident, otherwise, he will regret it when the time comes. Yate smiled slyly as he spoke, turned his back to Li Ling, and looked at the scenery outside.
"You...... You can go, since I have promised to supply you with food. will do it. AttΓ© said lightly.
Li Ling also felt that there was no need to stay, so he left in a hurry, when he walked out of the city wall. The group of guards all made way for Li Ling, and the people whom the chief guard of Astra wanted to see in person, they dared to offend.
After Li Ling returned to the camp, he brought the news that the Yate General Guard would provide food to everyone. Reinforcements in the camp. They were all very happy, but Li Ling was not happy at all, and if Li Ling couldn't persuade these people, these people would end up with a dead end.
In order to be 100% safe, Li Ling felt that he should start with the few people he trusted the most.
In Li Ling's separate tent, Wood, Baijia, Ante, Menghe, Fengting, and Lin Maru were all present, and Li Ling told everyone what he said when he and Yat met in detail.
After hearing such news. All six of them were immediately annoyed.
"It's too hateful, if you don't get the Refining Stone. There is no point in a group of us coming here. Ante said angrily as he punched the table.
"But if there is no life, what is the use of refining stones?" Li Ling couldn't understand the thoughts of the six.
"Didn't the general guard of Astra say it? There will be one percent of people who will survive, then this one percent of people will be able to get the Refining Stone, then it is not completely impossible. Meng He said lightly.
Li Ling gradually discovered that since he told everyone the news, everyone had a mustard with each other, and it seemed that they were all wary of each other.
Oops, Li Ling secretly called himself bad in his heart, these things are known to everyone, and the final result will only be a rapid differentiation of internal unity, leading to the final suspicion of each other, and even the possibility of fighting each other. After getting the worst, it is very likely that everyone did not die in the hands of Ice Clam and the guards of Longyang County, but died in the hands of their own people.
Seeing such a thing, Li Ling could only use a closed method, and sure enough, just like what Yat said, these reinforcements would not listen to Li Ling's words at all and not get the refining stone, but they all had a fluke mentality, and they all wanted to become the survivors of the one percent.
"Is the Refining Stone so important to you?" Li Ling also wanted to see if there was a glimmer of opportunity.
After a period of silence for the six people, Ante said categorically: "Very important is simply more important than life, I, Ante, have lived for more than seventy years now, but I am still lingering in the late stage of the county sergeant, which is really disheartening, but as long as I have the refining stone, I can break through the sergeant level and reach the general level, in that way, my future days will be incomparably beautiful." β
"Li Ling, the refining stone is very important to everyone here, the purpose of everyone coming here is actually to refine the stone, if you can get the refining stone, everyone will even pay the price of their lives." Wood spoke.
Li Ling couldn't understand these people, fighting like this for a stone.
"Okay, I can't persuade you, but I hope you don't tell everyone the news, otherwise the army's morale will be chaotic, and the order of the army will collapse, and at that time, even if the army of Longyang County does not destroy us, we will be finished first." Li Ling told the five people some more sensible words, hoping that they would know the serious consequences of spreading the news.
"Li Ling, we have been following you for so long, we will not say anything about what you are worried about." Ante was the first to agree, followed by Wood, Baikah, Menghe, Windthorn, and Hayashimaru.
Seeing that the six people were willing to keep it a secret, Li Ling suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, at least this news was blocked first, and it would be beneficial to the reinforcements.
The next day, Arter kept his promise and sent to the camp piles of beastly jerky, which had been transported in thirty wagons, and the essence of the meat had been pressed, enough to feed the people here for three months.
When they saw the brightly fleshed beast jerky, the reinforcements almost drooled, and they couldn't help but pounce on it and grab a piece of jerky to eat.
"You all don't want to touch the jerky here, please ask your Li Ling to come out and sign for it." That man was Kata, Yat's warrior, who was burly and tall, half a meter taller than the average person, and his slap was as wide as someone else's shoulder, he was really a big giant.
"Go and ask Li Ling to come out." I don't know who said such a thing in the crowd, and suddenly someone rushed to call Li Ling, in this camp, everyone has not eaten food for a week, even if they are all county level strength, but the feeling of hunger can not be ruled out, at this time, once they see food, their eyes are shining, and they are extremely eager to take a bite on the beast jerky.
After a while, everyone made a way, Li Ling walked out surrounded by everyone, Li Ling glanced at the tall Kata, that familiar and strong figure, wasn't it the Kata who took him to see Yate that day!
"Kata." Li Ling blurted out in a lost voice.
With a serious expression on his face, Kata took out a white list and handed it to Li Ling, and said with a smile: "Sign for it, there are a total of thirty carts of beast jerky here, which is enough for you to eat for three months." β
Li Ling looked out at it, and the thirty carriages were discharged like a long dragon, which made people sigh with emotion, but he didn't expect Yate to be a trustworthy guy with a lot of money.
Li Ling quickly signed his name on the white list, and then returned it to Kata, who waved his arm as soon as he picked up the white list, turned around and shouted: "These thirty carts of beast jerky are left, let's go back." β
This group of jerky delivery teams came in a hurry, and they went in a hurry, and there was no intention of staying for a moment, Li Ling looked at the jerky of the thirty carriages, and ordered everyone: "Store all these jerky for later consumption." β
Everyone looked at Li Ling straightly, with incomparable gratitude in their eyes, Li Ling was seen by everyone as self-conscious, and frowned: "What's wrong with everyone?" β
"Commander Li Ling, you worry about our affairs every day, we really don't want to go, we are also very grateful, but we can't repay it." One person suddenly knelt down, and suddenly, everyone in the audience knelt down, but Li Ling was a little at a loss, and he didn't know how to persuade this group of guys to stand up.
"Commander Li Ling, if we have the opportunity to return home in the future, we will definitely tell you your story, the story of Commander Li Ling can definitely cause a sensation to the people around me, you are a god-like existence." A man in the crowd said.
"Okay, don't be like a girl, we are soldiers now, we should have the courage of soldiers." Li Ling patted the shoulder of the person in the first place and directly pulled him up.
In this, there is no shortage of people who are stronger than Li Ling, but everyone obeys Li Ling's life, in fact, there is no other reason, that is, because Li Ling has saved everyone in danger many times and won the hearts of everyone.
But despite this, Li Ling couldn't tell everyone about Longyang County's request, because even the six closest to Li Ling couldn't hold back the desire in their hearts, not to mention these people who had nothing to do with Li Ling before.
"Okay, it's not early, everyone hurry up and save the beast jerky, you can have a big meal tonight, sleep well, don't think about anything, the current situation, can only be said to be a day of chaos." Li Ling looked at everyone with a smile.
"Yes, Commander Li Ling." Everyone agreed in unison, which shows that Li Ling has the courage to lead the army, and Li Ling is also very emotional, it turns out that he is more talented as a soldier than a killer. (To be continued......)
