31 Conscience

Although Chu Xuan said that the zombies would not evolve every once in a while, the mutant zombies he predicted were more diverse and more powerful, but it gave Poison Island and the others another heavy pressure.

Perhaps ordinary zombies with zero intelligence can indeed be invisible to ordinary humans, while lickers with the most vulnerable brains exposed, although they are highly attacked, may be able to destroy their brains with shotguns, barrages formed by a large number of ranged weapons, and shockwaves generated by powerful explosives.

But as Chu Xuan said, the difference between zombies and humans lies not in the strength of the individual, but in the "evolutionary ability" of the individual.

Maybe the zombies can't threaten a powerful human like Chu Xuan and the others now, but what about the mutated zombies that have evolved twice, three times, or even four or five times?

It's only been about 22 hours since the outbreak of the zombie virus, and the first mutant zombie has appeared before it even arrives for a whole day, so when will the second one appear, a day or two? What about the third one?

Maybe after a month, the ability of mutated zombies will increase several times or even more than ten times, compared to zombies, the growth rate of human strength in a month can almost be said to be stagnant.

Mankind...... Is there really any hope?

"Don't be in a daze here, go pick out the right bike, and then we move on to where the 'family' is.

Instead of worrying about zombies, try to do what you can do well. ”

Perhaps seeing the confusion and uneasiness in the hearts of Poison Island Tsuneko and the others, Chu Xuan comforted them lightly in his own way, and then turned around and walked towards the bicycle shop first.

Gu Yue, who felt that he had formed a strategic alliance with Chu Xuan, hurriedly followed, and asked Chu Xuan in a whisper with some concern:

"Chu Xuan, did those zombies really become so powerful in such a short period of time?"

Although they are reincarnators, Gu Yue and the others are actually only several times stronger than ordinary people.

When facing the licker, Gu Yue felt a little difficult, and in order to ensure that he was not injured a little, he still had to rely mainly on his followers to fight.

If the "tyrants" or something came out too early and there were too many of them...... He probably had to let Lala carry him on his back and keep running away, hoping to hide until the moment when the remaining time of the return was zero.

"No, I'm just scaring them and raising their nerves.

According to the rate at which ordinary zombies evolve into lickers, calculating the rate at which lickers evolve into higher-level mutant zombies, it is natural to get a very outrageous conclusion.

There will definitely be new varieties of zombies, but the overall strength should be at the same level as the licker, but their characteristics are different, and they are the result of the zombies evolving in different directions in order to adapt to the different environments they are in.

On top of that, even if they can continue to evolve, the improvement in absolute ability will not be so exaggerated.

And it will definitely take a long time to make a qualitative leap like the evolution of ordinary zombies into lickers.

But according to the bad taste of the main god, even if the task is to raid beautiful girls, it won't let us survive so easily.

If we slack off a little bit, move a little slower, or take the wrong path, then there will definitely be a big problem shortly after. ”

"That's right......"

After listening to Chu Xuan's explanation, Gu Yue breathed a sigh of relief.

As long as Chu Xuan is there, it is not a problem to calculate the time or route or anything, because "Chu Xuan" will never make mistakes, so they should be able to spend this mission safely.

- Gu Yue believes so.

However, for the sake of "himself" safety, he can't fully trust Chu Xuan, and he usually has to think about it himself like this.

After all, Chu Xuan's first consideration must be his own interests, and then everyone's interests, just like Gu Yue's first consideration is also his own interests.

In this bicycle shop, which mainly sells mountain bikes and road bikes that young people like, Chu Xuan and the others naturally did not find a human-powered tricycle, but they did find six touring bicycles.

Touring bikes are developed from road bikes and mountain bikes, most of which are the same as mountain bikes but are more flexible and suitable for ultra-long-distance self-sufficiency – that is, specially designed for "travelers".

In the vast territory of China, the vast majority of travelers travel by car.

However, even if you ride a bicycle, you can travel around the country.

- Riding a bicycle on a journey to find oneself or something, it appears from time to time in the film, television and anime works of Yuben.

This touring bike has a more comfortable and relaxed frame geometry, is capable of carrying weight, has a low lowest gear, and uses wider tires.

Accessories are chosen for reliability and durability rather than weight reduction, often with mountain bike pedals.

In short, all of the changes are designed to increase durability and reduce fatigue on long rides.

But what is more favored by Chu Xuan and others is that it can be easily equipped with shelves, tile covers, and camel bags.

Road and mountain bikes don't have a back seat, while touring bikes are designed for travelers and must be able to carry a certain amount of items.

With these six touring bikes and the corresponding accessories from the store, the cargo capacity can be equivalent to that of two tricycles, and they are far more flexible than tricycles.

The touring bicycles in this shop were all taken away by Chu Xuan and the others, and the remaining vehicles were small mountain bikes and road bikes to facilitate the shorter female members of the team to ride.

There were no bikers in the team who didn't know how to ride a bike, and there was no need for someone else to walk in the back seat, so that the team members who were more physically stronger and more skilled in riding could ride the six cargo-carrying bicycles.

After Chu Xuan and his party came out of the store with their bicycles, they picked up some fresh ingredients in the freezers of the fish shop and butcher shop, and added some vegetables and fruits that were no longer very watery in the vegetable shop and fruit shop, and they were ready to leave here and head for Shizuka Jukawa's friend's house.

When passing by the van driven by the survivors who were attacked by the lickers for the second time, the high school teenager Cheng looked at the fish, meat, vegetables and fruits, as well as the rice and white noodles that had been spilled on the ground and had been trampled into disgusting rotten sauce by the zombies on the road, and his face hesitated for a moment, but finally spoke:

"Everyone, everyone, the remaining survivors may still be waiting for this food, are we ......?"

Everyone else looked at Cheng with somewhat strange glances, no one spoke, and the atmosphere became a little awkward.

The high school boy, who looked a little weak, swallowed the latter words back into his stomach, as if he had just said something wrong, and quickly lowered his head.

Although Chung didn't finish his sentence, everyone already knew what he wanted to say next.

However, no one intended to respond to him.

Maybe before Cheng, other people didn't think of this question, but before they thought of it, they used their subconscious to avoid it.

This is the last days, the last days when they themselves are still struggling to survive!

Who has the leisure to think about the affairs of survivors who have nothing to do with them?

Even in law, there is a provision for "emergency avoidance".

For example, if two people are shipwrecked at sea, and they only have a life jacket, a lifebuoy, or a plank, they have something that can save their lives, but they can't save two people at the same time, only one of them can only live.

In this case, the law also has no right to determine who should die and who should live, and can only let it develop on its own.

In other words, whoever survives in the end is legally just.

Therefore, even if one of them takes some action in order to fight for a life jacket, life buoy or plank, resulting in the death of the other person, he will not be punished by law.

But in the final analysis, this kind of behavior is tantamount to surviving by taking the lives of others, and will be condemned by morality and public opinion.

Even if the person survives, he will feel a difficult conscience in the future - if he still has a conscience.

And so is Chung's proposal.

It would have been fine if they hadn't realized it all along, but now that they had been reminded by Cheng, they had realized that if they didn't fulfill the "last wishes" of the survivors who had been attacked by the lickers and deliver the food to the remaining survivors, it would lead to the death of the remaining survivors, and they would never be able to turn a blind eye with peace of mind.

Although they don't know where the remaining survivors are hiding, they have their own families waiting to be rescued...... But when they thought that the remaining survivors were probably old, weak, sick and disabled, and they were hungry at the moment, anxiously waiting for these people who were driving to bring food back, everyone felt that they had no way to pretend that they didn't know, so they hardened their hearts and bowed their heads and left.

Moral education has given them a conscience and virtues, but it has also caused them a lot of troubles and pains.

Although the gaze that everyone looked at Cheng was not blame, it was far more complicated than blame.

Perhaps, this is also due to the fact that they had previously "abandoned" Koichi Wisteria and some other students of the higher division of the Vine Art Garden.

Do self-interested choices that were once "forced" to be made have to be made again?

Every time they choose to give up "others", whether active or passive, they will be whipped on their conscience.

"No, there's no reason we have to save them."

Chu Xuan rejected Cheng's proposal expressionlessly, and then immediately pushed the bicycle and took the lead towards the outside of the shopping street, not even looking for a reasonable reason for his behavior.

The team members behind Chu Xuan looked at his still upright, but extremely ruthless figure with complicated expressions, and they all followed silently.

- Actually, Chu Xuan and the others lured away all the ordinary zombies in the vicinity, and also eliminated the most dangerous lickers, which was equivalent to doing the remaining survivors a life-and-death favor.
