Chapter 40: A Difficult Journey I
Summary: The road to the Independence Zone was full of suffering
When the contradictions in the village developed to the point of irreconcilability, the split finally occurred, so the village chief and the head of the poor family left the village chief with some of them and set out for the independent area.
The village chief and the leaders of the poor department made a lot of preparations for this operation, and they did it immediately after listening to the government's broadcast, and the preparations began at that time, but the situation in the village was not clear at that time, and the situation in the village was relatively complicated, so it was not immediately announced.
In order to determine the intentions of the people in the other two organizations, they went through a period of investigation, so they had a lot of time to prepare for this operation, which was related to their future fate, so they attached great importance to it, and did a lot of preparation and investigation, but even so, when they actually got outside, they found that they still underestimated the difficulty of this trip.
As soon as the group left the village, they encountered a basic problem, that is, they were disoriented. When they were in the village, because of their familiarity with geography, they were able to know the direction, but after leaving the village, there were mutated plants everywhere, and the surrounding environment was all green, so they couldn't distinguish between the southeast and the northwest.
After this period of expansion, the mutant plants have covered all the roads, and the roads that people were familiar with before have long disappeared, and they are now like entering the primeval forest, and they can't discern their own direction at all, and these plants are not as quiet as the plants in the real primeval forest, most of them are aggressive, and they will attack the creatures near them, so the road is very unsmooth.
The difficulty of the journey made the distance they traveled very limited every day, and only a few days after they set off, there were casualties, which is very unfavorable for the current team.
The number of people who came out this time is not too much, only less than 100 people, if you really die one, one less one, the strength will be reduced by one point, those who are injured, you have to find someone to take care of it, these have caused great inconvenience to the action, the most important thing is the human heart, when people see that this is the case, the previous passion has begun to decrease, many people even began to regret the impulse at that time, and the people's hearts began to become sluggish.
The spirit of a group is a very important existence, and it often determines the potential and destiny of a group. People often say that character determines fate, and the spirit of a collective also determines her future fate, when the spirit of the collective disappears, that is, when she perishes, seeing this change in people's hearts, the village chief attaches great importance to the so-called, sharpening the knife does not take much effort, so the village chief decided to convene a temporary meeting to encourage everyone to change the status quo.
After hearing the village chief's proposal, several other leaders also agreed with his approach, so on this day, the team did not choose to move forward, but refurbished the defense in place, and also called an impromptu meeting.
"Hello everyone, the reason why this meeting is held is because there are some things that must be talked about with you, and I hope that after listening to my words, you can seriously think about it yourself." The village chief cleared his throat and spoke.
"The past few days have not been smooth, these few days of difficulties I have seen one by one, now, many people began to regret the decision made, but we only saw the difficulties in front of us, have you ever thought about our future? A few days ago, everyone was bullied and oppressed by people from other organizations in the village, is that kind of life good? Speaking of this, the village's tone was very stern and his voice was very impassioned.
"And very importantly, everyone has little food left, so even if you stay in that village, how long can you last? When that time comes, will those who are usually fond of oppressing you take pity on you and give you food to eat? Needless to say, everyone's hearts are actually very clear that when they don't fall into the well, it's good! I'm not wrong! The village chief's words were full of anger and injustice, which was very infectious, and couldn't help but make these people fall into deep thought.
Listening to these words, they actually understood very well in their hearts, and they all knew that what the village chief said was the truth, at that time, it was precisely because of these willingnesses that everyone was willing to come out and take risks, because, for them who did not have much food, staying in the village, just waiting for death, of course they were unwilling, so they would come out to find that glimmer of life.
Of course, not all people are like this, for example, the rich man surnamed Gong, his family has a lot of food, and it is also this operation that everyone knows that they have so much food at home, but this person is very smart, before leaving, he used his own food to hire the three evolutionaries who came with him as his bodyguards.
The strength of the evolutionary person, everyone has seen it, so, even if some people are very angry, but no one dares to have any crooked thoughts, and this surnamed Gong is good friends with the village chief, and he also has a good relationship with the leader of the poor family, and at first glance he is a capable person, so no one wants to offend him.
There is also a part of them who came out with them for some other reason, but no matter what, everyone chose to come out for a reason.
"Since everyone knows what it will be like to stay in the village, that's why they came out, I'm right! This time it came out, and it was everyone's own decision, and I was right! However, look at the way you are now, you are loose and sloppy, you have no fighting spirit at all, you are like this, you can only make things worse, since our group of people has come out, there is no going back! So, stop thinking about what will happen to you if you stay in the village, because that's not going to be possible. After seeing the awakened expressions of the people who were nodded by him, the village chief was very satisfied, but he still had to continue to say what he had to say.
"Actually, there's one thing I might as well tell you now. At my age, I've experienced a lot of things, and many things are more clear than others. I'm here to rely on the old and sell the old, and my experience over the years tells me that the results of those who choose to stay in the village are not much better now. Speaking of those people in the village, the village chief said with some disdain.
Hearing the words of the village chief, the people below immediately began to discuss, at this time, the following was very noisy, and the heavy atmosphere just now had disappeared. Most of the people here now have great respect for the village chief, but even so, when they heard his words at this moment, they couldn't help but talk about it, obviously, everyone didn't believe it very much.
Before, everyone had been staying in the village, why, life there was not easy, before, although it was a little tired, but the life was quite peaceful! So, these people below began to ask the village chief questions one after another, asking him the reason for his words.
"Okay, anyway, it's already at this time, after that, whether you can survive or not, it's not certain, what can be said and what can't be said, I'll say it all today. However, after I finished saying this, everyone will definitely be a little unhappy when they hear it. Seeing everyone's puzzled expressions, the village chief pondered for a while, and then his expression suddenly changed, as if he had made up some kind of determination, and said the above words.
"How to say it, first of all, I have to say that most of the people here now are honest people!" Before he could speak, the village chief first came to sigh, which made everyone wonder why.
"Honest people are good, they work hard, they are worthy of their conscience, they don't cheat and cheat, they like it very much, but this advantage is also a big disadvantage, that is, they are often too honest, and when they do things, they only know how to die, work hard, and don't know how to think, so they are not flexible at all and don't know how to be flexible." Speaking of which, the village chief inevitably sighed again, and his emotions today are really too much.
"Before, I was also very concerned about the handling of mutant plants in our village, and I learned about many things one by one. So, there is one thing, I will tell you now, before, although there were three organizations in the village who were dealing with those mutant plants at the same time, but, in fact, those two organizations only exerted two points of strength, and they did a total of two points of work, and the rest were all done by the people of your organization, that is, you did a total of eight points of work, you don't know this! I didn't think about it before! The village chief's words were really shocking, and the people below were very surprised, and they felt that it was too unbelievable.
"I'll just say that you are too honest, you only know how to work, don't look at those people who are busy all day long, but their kind of busyness is not really busy at all, they are just pretending to lie to you, these things, the people of the two organizations know about it, and they acquiesce to each other, they just hide it from you people." Seeing the disbelieving looks of the people below, the village chief continued to explain.
"Think about it, before, you people did eight points of work, those people did two points of work, and without you, how could they live well? So, I guess, the situation in the village is going to be terrible right now. However, honesty is not a bad quality in itself, it just depends on who you work with. This time, the reason why I am willing to come out with your leaders and lead you is precisely because I am very optimistic about your temperament, because I know that only you real men can withstand the test, get through this difficulty, and successfully reach the independence zone. "The village chief is a very good talker, and when his mouth moves, the previous shortcomings will immediately turn into advantages, so that the people below will listen to it and feel very comfortable.
