Large and small groups composed of human beings, or collectives, do have many similarities with the individuals who make up this collective, that is, each human being, for example, they also have a division of labor such as hands and feet, torso, and brain, which can be regarded as a powerful giant that is not flexible enough, but whose strength, speed, creativity, and destructive power far exceed that of ordinary humans.

However, there is a very big difference between this powerful giant and ordinary humans, that is, every individual and every "cell" that makes up this giant has the ability to think on average equal to that of ordinary humans, and even stronger than the individual who is a "brain cell", which makes it possible for the giant's "limbs and torso" to resist the "mind".

Although most of the time this possibility will be due to people's desires and thoughts are too complicated, such as you like coffee, I like tea, you are so slim, I am so plump, you appreciate bravery, I appreciate steadiness, etc., it is impossible to build consensus and play a role in resistance, but the fire has been planted.

It is the spark of change, but it can also be the spark of disaster!

In some special cases, such as when something arouses the common desire of all people, especially some irresistible basic desire, a consensus is quietly reached.

At this time, in each individual that makes up the "limbs and torso" and even the "mind", there is a possibility of setting off an uncontrollable tide of thought that will break through the will of the "mind".

……

"No, we're going back to camp!"

"Yes, we're going back to camp!"

"Fuck off, let's not go to some bullshit warehouse! We're going back to camp! ”

……

Looking at the eyes full of anger and fear in the audience, Gu Lei knew that what he was most worried about had finally happened.

Most of the modern team members have been dominated by fear, not only completely irrational, but also disobedient. The collapse of the Heavenly Pillar has deeply stimulated everyone's most fundamental and strongest desire - the desire to survive.

……

What exactly is Optimus Prime to humans living on migration moons? That's probably something like a Patronus!

The cosmic void is not only extremely empty and barren, but also full of all kinds of unpredictable dangers. Vacuum not only makes people's blood boil and flesh expands, but also interweaves extremely cold and hot regions, and is filled with all kinds of high-energy radiation. Migration satellites are not actually a suitable space for human habitation.

However, more than 70% of the people in this galaxy have to live in an immigrant satellite, living in such an unsettling environment.

Therefore, in order to allow everyone to live with peace of mind, children born in the immigration satellite are taught like this from an early age:

Even if there are always big and small problems in the operation of satellites, even if there are always various explosions in factories, even if the high-energy electromagnetic cannonballs that are as powerful as nuclear bombs may come at any time, there is no need to be too afraid.

Each modern colonization satellite is protected not only by rock formations at least two kilometers thick, but also by the strongest skeleton made of the strongest material ever made, solar alloy. Even if you are attacked by hundreds of nuclear bombs at the same time, you don't need to put down the utensils in your hands, and you can take refuge when you are full.

Therefore, for people living on the migration satellite, no matter how bad the situation is and how desperate the mood is, as long as they go out and see Optimus Prime still standing there intact, supporting this small universe in the sky, everyone's mood will improve somewhat.

Yes, as long as the world is not destroyed, there may still be a little hope for my life!

But now, the immortal patron saint who brought hope and comfort to everyone, and has always guarded everyone, exploded and collapsed in front of everyone, and even buried many people alive in turn.

The loud explosion and shock wave went straight to the heart and shook the soul. Even if this Patronus is not made of solar alloy, the shock, despair and fear it brings are immeasurable!

The Patronus is dead! The world is going to be destroyed! Where do we flee?

This unprecedented oppressive fear deprived most of the people of their reason at once, and made them desperate to return to the camp that was at least familiar, and to absorb even a little heat to warm their bodies and minds like falling into an ice cellar at the moment.

As a result, just like many ordinary humans who can't control their bodies in the face of disaster and are panicked, under the control of irresistible fear, the hands and feet of the giant, and even part of the torso, of the red team, actually began to move on their own.

Soon, the giant will be dominated by fear, and will run and jump into the abyss of destruction with a still clear mind!

……

What's the use of going back?

Gu Lei couldn't help but think about it.

Even a well-defended camp like the BLU team couldn't last long under the herd, and now with the help of more powerful and cruel demons, how long can the red team's leaky and ruined camp last!

It's a simple truth that you can understand if you think about it, but most people don't want to think about it these days. Once an individual joins the collective, he or she will more or less give up thinking.

Just as ordinary members of a wolf pack obey the leadership of the head wolf, this is a gene that is common to any social animal, which is convenient for the leader to control, ensuring the unity and stability of the collective, and allowing the entire species to survive in the cruel competition of nature. At the same time, it will also help the upper strata of society to oppress the lower strata of society, or make the group fall into such an irrational state.

So, why go back? It won't be warm for long at all when you go back, and it will only become live fodder!

As a migrant satellite who has lived since childhood, and was also affected by the terrible impact of the collapse of the Heavenly Pillar, Gu Lei's shock and fear at this time may not lose much to everyone. It's just that he has experienced more life and death moments recently, and he is better at controlling these emotions than everyone else.

At this point, he thought of the book that Jerff had given him. As the book says:

When you encounter danger in the wild, don't panic, let alone run blindly by feeling.

It is often the case that someone encounters a terrible dragon beast in the wild, and then he immediately runs to a place where there is light. They always subconsciously think that there are people living there, and they always think that they can ask for help from there.

But in reality, they often end up dying in the dragon's mouth.

Because the so-called warm light is actually a ghost fire produced by the decomposition of the corpse, the so-called family is actually a more dangerous Jedi. - "How Killers Are Made", No. 4216.

The question is, what can Gu Lei do? The crowd that has completely lost their minds is the most difficult to convince. If he says no now, I'm afraid he will no longer be the head of this giant, but will become the enemy of this giant!

He couldn't help but turn his head to look at the other captains, while the other squadron leaders stared at each other, and then they all looked at Gu Lei, including Wu Xuelian.

After so many days of getting along, Gu Lei was shocked that maybe the nobles were not so perfect!

Although Wu Xuelian is indeed much more knowledgeable than Gu Lei in terms of knowledge, she usually looks at things and considers problems more comprehensively and in the long term, and she will make adequate preparations before doing everything. But in the face of some unexpected emergencies, they seem to be a little imperceptible and inflexible.

Or rather, not so particularly clever!

Gu Lei looked back at the audience helplessly.

The squad leaders in the audience completely lost control of the situation, and the voices of opposition rose higher and higher. Not only did some players with intermediate opinions give up their neutrality due to the atmosphere, but even a small number of players who originally held the same views as Gu Lei also turned against each other. Everyone shouted in unison in frenzy:

"Back to camp!"

"Back to camp!"

"Back to camp!"

……

Seeing that a fierce light began to appear in the eyes of a very small number of people, Gu Lei knew that if he didn't agree again, he was afraid that his prestige would be greatly damaged at the very least.

No, since everyone is not rational enough, then as a leader, I can't blindly follow!

Gu Lei hurriedly made a gesture to agree with this "inviolable" surging public opinion:

"Okay, okay, please don't shout, okay, please don't shout anymore, everyone's voice I and the other captains have heard it, we fully respect everyone's opinions, and are determined to make everyone satisfied, please believe us, please don't shout again, please don't shout again!"

On the other side, he informed Xiao Shi through his heart:

Act as I say!

He still has some preparation for this situation. Responsibility has put a lot of pressure on him, but it has also forced him to think more, to keep thinking from a bigger and longer-term perspective, forcing him to become wiser and more mature.

Just when the opposition was about to completely subside, just when the vast majority of people in the audience were looking at Gu Lei with hope, just when everyone was waiting for the order they were looking forward to.

A panicked and hoarse cry suddenly pierced the silence of the night:

"Report to the Captain!"

Everyone subconsciously turned around. I saw a member of the team running from the forest outside the crowd shouting, his face was terrified:

"Report to the Captain!"

Gu Lei pretended to be displeased and asked:

"What's the alarm?"

When the man approached, he reported in a voice so loud that everyone could hear him, in horror:

"Report to the captain, dozens of demons, hundreds of dog dragons, and tens of thousands of iron wolves have been found in the southeast, and they are rapidly approaching us."

The crowd, which had finally quieted down, suddenly became commotion again. Gu Lei also made a shocked appearance, which invisibly made the others even more panicked. Without giving everyone more time to think about it, he immediately ordered:

"The red team immediately began a rapid march, and we first advanced in a southwesterly direction. Let's go around the herd and then head back to camp. ”
