From the beginning of the night to the next day, more and more people came to take refuge, and the number had reached as many as two hundred, but on this day, Lin Yue and the animals they could hunt were a little less, and there were only more than forty jelly bodies, even if the remaining lifeless jelly bodies were mixed and matched, the number was not enough.

Therefore, Lin Yue could only let them draw lots to decide who could get these jelly bodies, and the rest of the people Lin Yue could only tell them that the jelly bodies they obtained tomorrow would be given priority. In addition, Zhao Minghui also took some ways to help them alleviate their pain.

On the third day, the number of people who came to take refuge was already very small, only about 30, because some people had already begun to die from the virus, and the more than 30 people who came to take refuge were also close to dying. Fortunately, on this day, Lin Yue was lucky to hunt a sharp langur with more than 20 jelly bodies, and there were nearly 50 jelly bodies obtained on this day.

Lin Yue gave these jelly bodies to those patients who were more seriously ill, and then reluctantly killed a few captive animals to distribute these jelly bodies to all patients.

On the fourth day, except for more than 30 people whose conditions were still in an unstable state, the rest of the people who came to seek refuge had basically recovered, but more than 40 people died. According to the statistics of the members of the meeting, starting from Meng Wen's batch, a total of 421 people came to take refuge, of which 341 were sick, 267 have been cured, 43 have died, and 31 are still uncertain.

In the past few days, under the ravages of the virus, people have died everywhere, and the people who came to take refuge in Yuandong are just the tip of the iceberg. When the hunting team goes out to hunt, they often come across some dead bodies, and they can only bury them as much as they can.

By the fifth day, the ravages of the virus were almost over, after all, it was a full-scale outbreak of the virus, and all humans were attacking at the same time, and they were also recovering or dying at the same time.

After the ravages of the virus passed, Lin Yue immediately organized people to expand the Yuan Cave, because now with the rapid expansion of the number of people, not only can not squeeze so many people in the cave, but even the hundreds of square meters of land in the fence are completely insufficient.

In addition, Lin Yue has another worry, that is, famine. With overhunting, the surrounding animals are basically hunted, and only a few fierce predators remain, which means that many people will face hunger.

Unlike people who are sick, hungry people are highly likely to be aggressive. Although the ravages of the New Territories Alien Virus have caused thousands of deaths, there are still many people alive within a radius of more than ten miles from Yuandong. The collectives of these people are already in a state of collapse, and even if they are regrouped, they will have a hard time finding food, and only a few lucky ones will be able to catch a prey or two.

But these lucky ones can also be the most unlucky, because other people will come to compete with them for food, and people in a hungry state are basically irrational, and in order to survive, it is inevitable to fight each other.

And among them, the biggest lucky one is the Yuan Cave, with the accumulation of this half a month, the food accumulated in the Yuan Cave is enough to feed five hundred people for nearly a month, but if you want to feed thousands of people, it will be exhausted in a few days. It is obviously impossible to take out all the food in the Yuan Cave and distribute it to others. But if Yuandong doesn't divide the food, others will definitely come over and grab it, so Lin Yue must be fully prepared.

Helping the sick is already the maximum that Lin Yue can do, so in the face of famine, it is impossible for Lin Yue to be kind to rescue again, five hundred people is already the limit that Yuandong can bear, this time, Lin Yue must adopt an iron-blooded policy.

Therefore, when the ravages of the New Territories Alien Virus had just passed, and the famine had not yet arrived, Lin Yue had already organized everyone in Qiyuan Cave to build another circle of protection. This time, not only trees were used, but also earth and stones were used to make the protection stronger.

In three days, the protective fence was quickly built with the efforts of 500 people, and in order to speed up the time, the area of the fence was not very large, but only expanded by a few hundred square meters. The two protective rings are not far apart.

After the wall was built, Lin Yue convened another meeting, and a total of 25 members went to the wooden house to discuss, 13 of whom were added later.

This meeting was not so much a discussion as a notice, because Lin Yue had set a policy of iron and blood, which could not be changed. The content of the iron-blooded policy is that all outsiders who step into the five-meter distance outside the walls of Yuandong without permission and do not leave after warning will be killed.

Because Liao Huan had already used human hands to make a simple single bow a long time ago, there were more than a dozen of them now. It's just that the material is insufficient, the attack distance of this kind of bow and arrow is very limited, and the range is only twenty or thirty meters at most, but its attack power within ten meters is still very considerable, especially within five meters, and it is absolutely no problem to kill those who are unprotected with one arrow. This kind of bow and arrow is probably not good for hunting, but it is very sharp when used to guard the city wall.

For this ruthless policy proposed by Lin Yue, most of the meeting members said that they could not accept it.

"We need to carry out this kind of killing, they are not only human beings like us, but they are also our former classmates, how can we do this." The one who spoke was a girl named Liu Wei, who was a senior who was about to graduate when she was on Earth, so most of her classmates still respected her.

"I applaud you for your compassion, but understand that we are in a different environment now!" Lin Yue stared at Liu Wei and said, "This is no longer the earth, there is no so-called peace and freedom. ”

"Still, we can't kill innocents indiscriminately!" Not far from Lin Yue, another member of the meeting named Hu He said in a low voice.

Lin Yue shook his head and said, "I never said that we would kill innocents indiscriminately, I said, we built a wall to prevent others from coming to rob our food, but how can a single wall stop them." If they are self-conscious and don't take the initiative to approach, of course we can't hurt them, but if someone wants to break in, how can we let them invade. When the man guarding the wall notices someone approaching, he first gives a verbal warning, and secondly, if the other person does not listen, shoots an arrow at the land around him to warn him again. In the end, if he was still obsessed, he was killed directly. ”

After hearing Lin Yue's words, more than 20 members of the meeting couldn't help but fall into silence, and soon after, Liu Wei still shook his head and said, "No, we still can't do this!" ”

A trace of anger floated in Lin Yue's heart, but an evil smile appeared on his face, stared at Liu Wei and said, "If it doesn't work, then you tell me what to do?" ”

Liu Wei was dumbfounded and couldn't answer.

"Are we going to take out all the food and give it to the others, and then in a few days everyone will starve to death?" Lin Yue continued to ask: "Or do we just put up a wall and let it go, waiting for others to break into the Yuan Cave and rob us of our food, and finally turn into a riot?" ”

"This ......" Liu Wei looked shocked and said, "It won't be so serious, right?" ”

"No!" Zhao Minghui, who was opposite Liu Wei, sighed and said, "The situation will be even more serious than what Lin Yue said." ”

"What!" The others shouted in amazement.

Lin Yue nodded, faced everyone, and said: "Hungry people are often very sensitive to food, if they can't find food, they will automatically look for those collectives who still have food to sustain their lives, and then the two sides will conflict until the food is robbed and eaten." So soon, the hungry will look at our side, and even if we have a wall to block it, and we have soldiers guarding it, we probably won't be able to stop them. ”

"Wouldn't it be okay to warn them with a bow and arrows?" Zheng Hai next to him asked suspiciously.

Without waiting for Lin Yue to answer, Yang Qing, who was not far away, answered his question: "Starve to death, or risk death to snatch food, what will you do in the face of this choice?" ”

Everyone was amazed and finally understood the seriousness of the matter.

"Yes!" Lin Yue raised the volume of his speech and said, "At the beginning, maybe these people would be scared by the warning of the bow and arrow and choose to retreat, but as hunger gradually corroded their hearts, they would attack Yuandong desperately. If there are only a few dozen people, our soldiers can still block it, but if it is hundreds or even thousands, the walls and soldiers will definitely not be able to defend it. At that time, it will be the real riot, the real massacre. And the Yuandong that we worked so hard to build will also be destroyed. ”

"What then?" At this moment, even Zhao Minghui was a little panicked.

"So we can't just block, we also have to pay attention to sparseness. Yuandong's iron-blooded defense must not be shaken, but we cannot say that it is completely isolated from others. ”

Zheng Hai turned his head to look at Lin Yue and said softly, "You already have an idea?" ”

Nodding his head, Lin Yue said, "First, the iron-blooded defense is absolutely sticky; Second, control the amount of food we consume and plan for the long term; Third, send a team out to guide, and at the same time divide a small portion of food for the people outside. ”

Everyone in the audience pondered Lin Yue's words carefully, and they could figure out the first and second points, but the third point seemed to be somewhat contradictory to Lin Yue's previous statement.

Liu Wei frowned slightly, and asked lightly, "Didn't you just say that you wouldn't divide the food?" ”

"Just now I said not to take it all out, but now I'm talking about dividing it into small parts." Lin Yue knocked on the wooden table and said carefully: "Although this small part of food is not enough for many people to eat, it can play a guiding role. At least to make them feel that we are not completely isolated from them. ”

"Then send a team to guide, what kind of guidance method?" Zhao Minghui asked.
