Chapter 238: Scatter as Birds and Beasts
Mira turned around and approached Lin Zaishan, holding his thigh with her hand, her eyes ambiguous.
Lin Zaishan coughed dryly, "Mira, are you trying to use the methods of CIB agents to extract information from me?" β
Mira laughed, "You know what I want. β
"Well, since you want it, I'll give it to you."
Lin Zaishan grabbed Mira's hand and poured a powerful life energy into her, while teaching her a lesson: "Although the life energy I gave you is good, it is external after all. After a while, this energy will be consumed and you will return to your original appearance. In order to maintain a strong state, it is necessary to form a self-sustaining mechanism of energy in a short period of time. β
"Are you suggesting that I overeat every day?"
"I suggest you stay positive and train and improve yourself every day."
"I've always been an optimist."
At this point, Billy returned from his hands and the rest time of the convoy was on his way.
"Have you washed your hands, Billy?"
"There's no water around here."
"Then I'll give you energy after you wash next time."
"Oh my God! I lost a big meal because I peed! β

Schwarronsen invited Lin Zaishan to his RV again on the communicator, and when Lin Zaishan arrived, he pointed to the map on the screen and said, "We are now faced with a choice question: What is the ultimate purpose of this migration?" β
Lin Zaishan said: "For me, it doesn't matter where I go, the key is two points: first, help these survivors find a safe settlement; Second, get a ship that is strong enough to return to China. β
"When it comes to ships that can return to Huaxia, I'm sure there's only one option - and that's Hades' super battleship."
"But as you can see, Hades isn't the hospitable type; And they don't seem to be planning to get a side hustle of escorting tourists. β
"You don't have to worry, according to the information I received from the Doomsday Knights not long ago, the Hades has a fixed base on the east coast of the United States, and in fact it is said that this ship was originally built there. Guess where? β
"Port Fergue?" Lin Zaishan casually guessed one.
"Exactly!" Schwarronsen complimented, "You guy is a Mi Guotong. β
"I'll go! I've had a really long shit luck. Lin Zaishan asked cautiously: "Idol, is your information accurate?" β
"The Knights will be based on integrity and will never release false information internally. Of course, since it is the end times, it may not be technically absolutely accurate. β
"Can you try to check it out for me again? It's really important to me. β
"Rose, contact the Knights' Club of Rover now."
"Understood."
"Zarin, let's go back to the original question. If Hades' base is really in Port Fergue, then you must be heading to the East Coast? β
"Yes."
"Another technical question is how to get there? It is obviously impossible at sea; Air traffic is all a matter of luck, but we don't have a helicopter at the moment, and even if we do, I don't think you'll be able to leave so many survivors on your own. Therefore, in a short period of time, the only option is to cross the entire continent of the United States by car. β
Jack chimed in, "Daddy, if you get a sports car before the end of the world, it's a matter of a day or two to get from the West Coast to the East Coast β I mean at the speed of a seventy-year-old woman." Now, I think even Mr. Zalin himself will have at least half a year. β
"I believe that the ability of the Zarin will not last that long. If we can plan the entire route scientifically and help the survivors find a place to live and work in advance, the rest of the progress will be much faster. Schwarronson showed a full-meter map and pointed to the main highway on the map: "This is where we are at the moment, and in my personal opinion, the best route to the East Coast is to follow Interstate 40 all the way east to Raleigh and then north to Port Fergu. β
Jack retorted: "Dad, you are a tendon, and you can greatly shorten the distance by switching routes flexibly." β
Schwarronsen said: "Trust me, this is the best option. He turned his gaze to Lin Zaishan, "How do you feel?" β
Lin Zaishan said with a smile: "It's okay, the guest is as you go." Idol, I'll hire you as my guide to the United States. I hope you don't sell me to human traffickers. β
"You can trust me!" Schwarronsen said proudly, "It's like I trust you." β
"That way, we at least have a clear destination and a general path forward." Lin Zaishan said: "However, please keep it secret for the time being, and don't tell outsiders where I'm going." β
"Of course. We only talk to outsiders to look for settlements in the east, and I can assure you that the vast majority of people in the present situation prefer to go to the east, where there may be more survivors and material resources. β
//////
The convoy traveled north along Route 15, slowly navigating rocky, overgrown mountains, stopping to clear ruins and roadblocks.
"There are mutant wolves, everyone be on guard!" Lin Zaishan shouted on the radio, "Death Mecha No. 1 moves 50 meters in front of the right; No. 2 moved 30 meters to the left rear; Cars 43-48 speed up and enter the protective zone of Reaper Mecha No. 3! No one is allowed to get out of the car without permission. The convoy keeps moving at a low speed! β
More than 100 mutant wolves, led by a sixth-level wolf leader, rushed to the convoy desperately. The survivors opened fire and defended without Lin Zaishan's orders.
The black cat in the driver's seat peeked around in a pickup truck and pulled Will, Jimmy, and Rob, who were shooting outside in the same car, back. "What are you idiots doing?"
"We're protecting ourselves." Will replied.
"Stupid, with so many fierce men guarding, these little wolves will be killed before they can even run in front of us. There's no need to waste bullets. He pointed to Reaper Mecha No. 1, which happened to pass in front of his car, "See, there is still Death." β
As soon as he finished speaking, the Grim Reaper suddenly turned off and stopped. The crew inside the Grim Reaper cursed, "! Is that idiot forgetting to replace the energy battery? Hurry up and replace! Another crew member said, "No, I'll put the energy battery in Old Quayle's car." β
"In Old Quayle's car? Are you mistaken? That guy would definitely take the energy battery and gamble on it. β
While the Grim Reaper Mecha No. 1 was extinguished, the sixth-level wolf leader suddenly approached and jumped and bit at the Reaper Mecha. The Reaper mecha was quite thick, but it was staggered by the sixth-level wolf leader and was about to fall down. The personnel in the mecha shouted to the black cat and the others, "Man, shoot quickly." β
When Will heard this, he immediately fired a shot, and the black cat scolded: "Fat pig, you killed me!" β
The sixth-level wolf leader was attracted to the black by Will's gun
The cat's car, fangs and claws began to bite the car. The four Black Cats screamed in the rocking car, and they fired several shots but did not cause effective damage.
A few cars were still busy defending against other mutant wolves that were sprinting, and no one cared about rescuing them.
"Bang dang!" The door on one side was ripped off by the sixth-level wolf leader, and the black cat and the others immediately leaked the door.
The wolf leader opened his blood basin and bit Will's thigh.
"Mommy, save me!" Will called out.
A sturdy figure jumped down behind the wolf leader, grabbed it by the tail and slammed it a few times, then smashed on the rocks beside the road.
"The person who saved us is so powerful, it should be a slag forest again, right?" The four people in the car all looked curiously at the back of the person in the violet mecha.
The latter turned around and turned out to be Mira. Mira said to Will, "Bookworm, I'm not your mommy. You'd better learn to protect yourself as soon as possible, or you'll have to wait to make snacks for mutants, corpses, or bad guys. After saying that, he rushed 10 meters away and killed another mutant wolf.
Will rubbed his eyes and stared at Mira's back with an obsessive gaze: "Oh my God! I feel like I'm in love! I swear that no matter what kind of hardships and dangers I encounter, I must pursue this beautiful girl! I will make this my important ideal in life in the last days! β
Jimmy tapped Will on the head, "Wake up, brother, this kind of high-class goods is not something you can climb; Besides, didn't you see Mira and Zalin riding in the same car? I wonder if the two of them are already there...... You know. β
"Don't dampen the enthusiasm for life that this poor boy has so hard to muster." The black cat patted Will on the shoulder, "I support you to pursue what you love with confidence and boldness." β
"Thank you, Brother Black Cat, you're such a nice person."
"Of course, good guy has always been my usual code name." The black cat laughed: "I wish you had duel with the slag forest for the fight for your lover earlier, and then you would be torn to pieces by him, so that I would not only free up space in my car, but also save rations and fuel." β
//////
After another minute, all the mutant wolves that raided were killed. The survivors rushed forward to grab the spoils. The mutant wolf's meat wasn't tasty, but everyone didn't have much food with them when they escaped from John's Castle - and there wasn't really much to spareβfood was a big deal for everyone from now on.
Billy said to Lin Zaishan: "Boss, do you need me to get out of the car and grab a wolf for you?" β
Lin Zaishan shook his head and sighed: "Sure enough, it is a group of rabble, if a group of enemies take the opportunity to kill them at this time, it will definitely cause us heavy damage." β
"Then you'd better get things in order."
"Now is not the time to rectify, other mutant beasts will find us at any time, and we must rush to safety as soon as possible."
"Boss, it's not that I'm disappointed, but I have an ominous premonition that it may be difficult for us to find any safety in the future."
"As long as we are strong enough, even the most dangerous environment will become a safe place!" Lin Zaishan emphasized, "We must rectify as soon as possible, so that everyone can form an effective cooperative group and improve their combat effectiveness and survivability." β
//////
The convoy continued on its way out of the valley and for a further dozen kilometers to the edge of the town of Vichy. At this time, it was getting late, and Lin Zaishan ordered to camp on the spot.
Schwaronsen suddenly ran over to Lin Zaishan and said, "Zhalin, I just received an urgent distress telegram from the Knights' Association, a group of our brothers are in danger 300 kilometers away, and I, Rose, and Jack must rush to support immediately. β
"Shall I go with you?"
"No, I can handle it; Besides, the survivors here need you. β
"I think they're going to leave me behind soon."
"That's because they forgot about the danger that was coming. Take care, I'll say goodbye for now. We can contact by telegram. β
Lin Zaishan watched Schwaronsen's RV leave, and sighed secretly, "Billy's hunch is not wrong at all, something bad is about to happen." This so-called bad is obviously not for me, a person who has just gained luck, but for other survivors. β
//////
The camp is surrounded by a stony flat land, bare, without jungle and tall grass, which is relatively convenient for human habitation and movement. There are ruins of buildings everywhere ahead, but zombies are extremely rare. Due to the wider field of vision, it is more conducive to organizing a defensive front against the brigade.
If the dreadnought team is here, Lin Zaishan only needs to issue a few simple instructions, and he can immediately see the results of the execution; However, the survivors who came out of John's Castle lost the control of power, and they were not affiliated with each other, and there were many factions, which not only had extremely poor execution, but also fought and fought among themselves at every turn. More than 100 people fought for a better-looking parking space, killing and injuring more than 30 people in the blink of an eye, so that Lin Zaishan had to rush over and stop them with his powers.
"Just for the sake of a palm-sized place, killing more than 30 compatriots, do you think you are defending the territory of the United States?" Lin Zaishan reprimanded loudly.
Although the people in the fire ceased fire, they glared at themselves, blew their beards, and raised their middle fingers, and did their best to demonstrate to each other.
Lin Zaishan said: "Was I talking to myself just now? Why didn't anyone listen? β
The leader of one of the parties to the conflict said: "Mr. Zarin, I recognize you as our savior; But you're not our leader yet! β
The leader of the other side also chimed in: "Zhalin, you are from Huaxia, how can you be the leader of our Mi people?" β
"What do you mean?" Lin Zaishan smiled, "Do you still want to hold a general election here?" β
"Yes, we are asking for an election to elect the leader of the team in a democratic way!" One of the ringleaders shouted.
Another leader said: "We have no interest in elections, we just want to be free again." Mr. Zarin, you're not going to take away our liberty like the tyrant John, are you? β
Lin Zaishan replied gently, "No." β
"Then we're going to say goodbye." The leader waved his hand, and a dozen vehicles started again, ready to leave the camp.
Lin Zaishan hurriedly stopped and persuaded: "It is very unsafe for your small group of people to act alone, it is better to be with everyone." β
"You're wrong, Mr. Zhalin, we prefer to go it alone. This is the reward we have earned for dying at John's Castle. β
"You just swagger away like this, even if you don't care about my face, don't you think about the danger that will arise at any time ahead?"
"We can take responsibility for ourselves, and we don't have to worry about you." The pair left resolutely despite Lin Zaishan's dissuasion.
When they left, they immediately made a bad start, and immediately more than a dozen small teams came to Lin Zaishan to ask to leave.
"Are you sure?" Lin Zaishan asked again and again.
"We're sure!"
These conflicters have been with Lin Zaishan along the way, and they have seen that he has a kind and gentle character, and he never easily kills or injures others, let alone innocents; The so-called gentleman can deceive him, and they know that even if he offends Lin Zaishan, he will not do anything to himself. So the awe of him gradually faded, and even began to be arrogant in front of him. In fact, it is not the individual who is experiencing such a change in mentality, but the majority.
There is a huge difference between Westerners and Chinese people, Chinese culture pays attention to convincing people with virtue and emotion, Lin Zaishan is undoubtedly noble, not to mention that he has life-saving kindness for all survivors, if it is placed in the Chinese context, even if he is always hippie and smiling, not doing his job, everyone will undoubtedly regard him as a leader. Westerners in this world pay attention to convincing others with force, seducing people with profit, and never hide hostility and differences of interest when dealing with friends and even dissidents. If the strength is not as good as mine, I will make it from me, and people must be divided into high and low, and the more cruel the living environment, the more so. A leadership style like Lin Zaishan, who is gentle and gentle to everyone, is a little inapplicable.
The small gangs calculated that Lin Zaishan would not do anything to them, so they did not hesitate to tear their faces to fight for the so-called "freedom".
"That's fine." Lin Zaishan said calmly, "Since it is everyone's intention to ask to leave and move freely, I will definitely not stop it." Just take care of yourself. However, considering that it is getting late now, it is very unsafe to leave at this time. You'll camp here and wait until tomorrow morning. β
Everyone had different opinions, and some followed Lin Zaishan's suggestion and promised to stay for one night temporarily; More of them were like loose ponies, unable to hold back their excitement, and ran away.
//////
Billy leaned over and asked softly, "Boss, why did you allow them to leave freely?" Why don't you kill one or two on the spot, I see which of them dares to disobey? β
Lin Zaishan asked rhetorically, "Billy, if I do that, what's the difference between me and John?" β
"It's definitely better for them to on their heads than to let them pursue so-called ethereal freedom."
Lin Zaishan shook his head, "You can use violence to deprive a person of his life, but you can't deprive him of his yearning for freedom." They've had enough of John's Castle, so let them go. β
"I'm sure they'll be dead in less than three days."
"It's important to be alive, but being alive is not a reason for us to limit others." Lin Zaishan knows that he will never be able to maintain positive energy by managing others in a tyrannical way, and without positive energy savings, he is a mediocre person, and he can't even save his own life. "Besides, I'm just an outsider after all, a passerby, I'm going to return to Huaxia sooner or later, how can I be the leader of so many survivors of the rice country?"
"Zalin, this is not the election of the president of the Republic of China, it doesn't matter what nationality he is? Besides, it's the end of the world, and if the survivors of the United States are so narrow-minded that they will keep a savior like you out of the world, then we are doomed. Mira spoke.
"You can't say that." Lin Zaishan said, "I thought about it for a while, if a Mi Chinese went to Huaxia to be the leader of our Shencheng or Zhongcheng, it should be difficult for me to accept it." β
//////
At this time, Caroline, Black Cat, Will, Jimmy, Rob and others came to meet Lin Zaishan.
"Zhalin, we have discussed a few of us, and we are willing to follow in your footsteps, we will go wherever you go, even if we go to hell, we will not be separated!" Caroline said firmly.
"Thank you for your trust in me, I will definitely not let you down." Lin Zaishan said with a smile, "Do you want to become a master in the short term?" β
"Yes!" And they all said yes. Will has been one of the weakest chickens since the end of the world, always at the bottom of the food chain, and the desire to become stronger is also the strongest, at this time, listening to Lin Zaishan's words, he pleaded excitedly: "Mr. Zhalin, if you really have a way to make me stronger in the short term, I am willing to worship you as a teacher on the spot!" β
"We are also willing to worship you as a teacher." Jimmy and Robert chimed in.
The black cat looked back and forth uneasily, "Zalin, should I also worship you as a teacher, so that I will become an apprentice from your buddy." β
"Don't be reluctant, besides, I can't take too many apprentices at once."
"Then I'll still be your old friend, but you must not teach me less in your specialty."
"Don't worry. I'll make you a pot of wolf meat and bone soup first, and then everyone will learn martial arts while eating, and by the way, look at the stars and talk about life, how about it? β
"It's so poetic."
//////
At night, the laughter and laughter of Lin Zishan's gang quickly infected others. Those who made up their minds to leave smelled the smell of meat, heard Lin Zaishan selflessly instilling life energy into those who stayed, and especially saw that the weak chicken Will turned into a mighty fat dragon in the blink of an eye, and they were all envious.
A few people came over and asked Lin Zaishan: "Mr. Zhalin, can you instill a little life energy into us?" You know, just a little bit can enhance our end-time survivability. β
Will, Billy, Mira and the others spoke out at the same time to stop them, "Absolutely not! β
Lin Zaishan smiled and said, "Why not? β
Billy said, "Boss, every time you infuse a life force, you will weaken by one point. You can help others, but you can't risk your precious life. β
The black cat also said: "Old friend, I don't think you need to waste your life for these traitors and garbage. Maybe they'll use that energy to do bad things. β
Lin Zaishan heard this and said: "Black cat, the second half of what you said is very reasonable, I have to guard against it." β
The people who asked for the vibrations swore together: "We will never do anything bad, and if we break our oath, we will die at the hands of the devil." β
Lin Zaishan said with a smile: "It's easiest for me to believe in other people's oaths, I'll instill life energy for you now, you have to cherish it." β
"Definitely, definitely." These people were blessed with life energy and left energetically, and soon another group of people were recruited. Lin Zaishan did not refuse all those who came, but they all asked them to swear not to do bad things with these energies.
After helping hundreds of people in this way, the black cat and others could no longer bear it, forcibly prevented outsiders from approaching Lin Zaishan, and established the so-called "armed blockade zone". And the group of people who had agreed to camp took advantage of it and drove away at night. It was originally a huge campsite, but there were less than 30 people left in Lin Zaishan's group.
Caroline did not object to Lin Zaishan's dedication, but was quite concerned about his health, "Zha Lin, how are you now?" Why is your face so pale and you still have cold sweat on your body? β
Lin Zaishan suddenly fainted to the ground, Caroline, Black Cat and the others were all taken aback, and called out to him loudly, and the voice came far away in the darkness.
Set a small goal first, such as remembering in 1 second: book guest residence
