Section 270 Judgment
I don't know which of them spread the news that Lin Chuan was leaving, and as soon as it was dawn the next morning, Lin Chuan felt that people had arrived at his door one after another.
They didn't talk, but it was obvious that everyone had their own reasons for coming.
Lin Chuan waited in the room for a while, and when he smelled the scent of the vast majority of the base management, he opened the door.
"Come in." He said to them.
Liang Jin's spirit was very poor, and his eyes were red as if he hadn't slept all night.
Lin Chuan felt a little guilty about this, but it was Lin Chuan who had a relationship with her before, and he couldn't substitute himself into the relationship between the two of them.
Coughing, smacking his lips, sighing, but no one spoke, and after a long time, Zeng Yu was finally the first to speak.
"Brother Lin, can't you stay?" His words were full of concern for Lin Chuan, but they were not convincing at all, but his words were like breaking some taboo, and the others finally began to persuade with their own opinions and reasons.
Their reasons are strange, and for Lin Chuan, there are only a few people who really care.
Li Mingfeng didn't speak again, Liang Jin kept holding back and not crying, while Leng Suan kept observing the others.
What surprised Lin Chuan was that Lin Li was also there, he was standing outside the door, only half of his body was exposed, and there was a strange look on his face that seemed to be smiling but not smiling.
After everyone had said the same, Leng Su'an finally spoke.
"I know you're not someone who will change your mind casually, so I'm not going to advise you to do anything or not, I just want you to do it before you go. One last time to help us. β
"What do you want me to do?" Lin Chuan's brows twitched.
"Make a decision for us." Leng Su'an said.
Lin Chuan shook his head and said, "That's what I did before, but obviously. The decision I made may not have been the right one, and you will be better off after I leave. If you need something, I can do my best, but everyone's path is their own choice, and I am not qualified to make decisions for you, and I will no longer be responsible for anyone's future. β
"Whatever little bit of achievement we achieve is based on your previous efforts. Without the base you chose for us, without the supplies you found, without you killing the monsters that roamed around. We can't do anything, so I can't agree with you. Leng Su'an said, and his words were echoed by many people. So you don't have to be presumptuous, and don't turn a blind eye to your role. Our group was founded by you. Half of us were saved from death by you, and no matter how many problems this collective has had before, no matter how many problems it still has, the only leader can only be you. You can leave for the sake of your ideals or beliefs, and we will not hinder you, nor will we have the right to stop you, but you must also understand that we will always be here and waiting for you to return. β
Li Mingfeng was a little shocked. He didn't expect Leng Su'an to say this, and obviously. Most people didn't expect him to say that, either.
Lin Chuan also froze for a moment, he never thought that Leng Su'an would give such a high evaluation, and then he shook his head again, but he didn't argue with him anymore.
"What do you want me to decide?" He asked.
"How should we deal with the relationship with Yangshan Port?" Leng Su'an asked. "Before your resurrection, we had arguments about it, some wanting to maintain the status quo and others wanting to merge into a stronger community. This certainly won't be a problem if you stay, but if you decide to leave, the issue will have to be thought through. β
Lin Chuan looked into his eyes, because such words sounded like he was forcing him to stay, but Leng Su'an looked at him without evasion, looking very calm.
"Who wants to stay the status quo?" Lin Chuan asked.
Leng Su'an raised his hand without hesitation, but most people hesitated. Leng Su'an's words sound fine at first glance, but in fact, Zeng Yu's reason for proposing to merge into Yangshan Port is not "hoping to merge into a stronger collective" at all, and this kind of language trap makes it difficult to justify and refute.
Wang Qinian slowly raised his hand, followed by Lu Guangping, Zhou Tao and others, most of whom had contributed a lot to the construction of the Jinzuo base in eastern Fujian, and naturally did not want to abandon this qiΔ.
"Who wants to merge into Yangshan Port?" Lin Chuan asked again.
His attitude was not clear, but after a while, he was still stunned Qing Zeng Yu was the first to raise his hand, followed by Jiang Ming, Chen Jian and others, Lin Chuan noticed that most of the people with military backgrounds raised their hands, and most of the people who raised their hands were young people who did not have much right to speak.
But there were also many people like Li Mingfeng and Liang Jin who didn't raise their hands, Lin Chuan looked at Li Mingfeng, his expression looked helpless, maybe he felt uneasy and powerless at the sign of this split.
"Brother Lin, we don't simply want to go to Yangshan, we want to ......," Zeng Yu said at this time, he felt that Lin Chuan might misunderstand the people on his side.
"I know." Lin Chuan interrupted him. "You're not that kind of person."
He didn't know what the other people in the base were thinking, and he didn't know what the situation was on the Yangshan Harbor side, which made it impossible for him to make any decisions or build them.
There was a time when he was extremely tired and helpless from managing a survivor base, and he thought about sending the people in the base to Yangshan or Chongzhou Island several times, but the people who escaped after the fall of Chongzhou Island let him know that those islands were not necessarily paradises.
But Yangshan Port now has He Daji and Sun Jing, while Chongzhou Island has only one Ron who hides himself and feeds on humans.
"I can't give you anything right now." He finally said so. "I need to understand the situation in Yangshan Port on the spot before making a judgment."
"That's fine." Leng Su'an said immediately. "But I always felt that it wasn't a very wise decision to give up here."
After everyone dispersed, Lin Chuan communicated with Li Mingfeng again, but Li Mingfeng himself felt very conflicted and couldn't give him anything, he just hoped that this collective, which had gone through many difficulties and turmoil, would not be divided because of this.
"I'll go find He Daji." Lin Chuan said this, once again ignoring Liang Jin's resentful gaze.
******
The situation in Wusong Port is very bad, and there is a kind of chaos on Cheng DΓΉ, which has been exacerbated by bad news.
The East China Sea Fleet's combat readiness warehouse had fewer munitions than expected, especially the lack of various types of artillery and shells they urgently needed, and an officer who had previously belonged to the Jianghai Garrison District went to another combat readiness warehouse more than twenty kilometers northwest of Wusong Port to try his luck, but the sentinel boats in the open sea had already heard the news, and they began to observe the water column spewed out by the giant cetaceans, which should be attracted by the corpses around Daishan Island first, and would not attack the ships traveling between the mainland and Yangshan Port. But no one knows how long this security will last.
Grain reserves are also not satisfactory, in the war reserve warehouse where He Daji went before, less than half of the grain is barely edible, and although the storage conditions of another grain depot are better, only two-thirds of the grain can still be eaten, and for the nearly 400,000 people in Yangshan Port, these grains can only last for three months.
The only good news may be that under He Daji's protection, no more large monsters have invaded their range of operations, and those soldiers who tremble at the sight of monsters finally have the courage to use bullets to reach the monster into a honeycomb.
Fang Jianguo hoped to find more reserves, and he instructed Zhang Siping to stay in Wusong Port to further collect arms and food, and to hide the news that the giant cetaceans had appeared, but Zhang Siping feared that people would fall into madness and collapse when they saw the huge water column.
It was in this situation that Lin Chuan found He Daji.
"You want to go northwest again?" He was a little stunned, but then nodded. "Okay." He said. "But you have to help me get through the difficult time in front of me first."
Lin Chuan nodded and said that there was no problem, he didn't even mention the real purpose of his coming to He Daji, at least in his opinion, the chaos in Wusong Port showed that Yangshan Port was not a place to be trusted. (To be continued......)
