Section 81 Interlude

Genius remembers in a second [Aishang Novel Network biquge.info] to provide you with wonderful novels to read.

What they brought back were two small boxes of 10-kilogram noodle gift boxes, 2-kilogram packaging of Jinhua ham gift boxes, and a barrel of olive oil, which according to the tank's description, were placed in the trunk of a car and were supposed to be gifts ready to be given away.

Of course, this is not enough for 300 people to eat, but after mixing in the bark of the grass roots and wild vegetables dug up during the day and boiling them into several large pots, they can still eat a rare dinner alive.

Most people put their worries about the future behind them for a while, looking forward to this good meal, and only a few sat by the fire with grim faces and said nothing.

"Find a volunteer to eat each pot first, wait fifteen minutes to see if he is okay, and then the others will eat. This must form a system, and every time you eat in the future, you must strictly enforce it. Li Mingfeng instructed a few people who could speak, and let them go to the other companions one by one.

Wang Qinian kept stirring in the pot with a wooden spoon, and the small ball of ham emitted an enticing smell that diluted the tension around the fire.

"It should be fine." He said after swallowing a large mouthful of saliva.

"Who's going to try it?" Li Mingfeng asked.

"I'll do it." Several people said at the same time.

There should be no problem with today's food, noodles, ham and oil are all freshly unpacked, although a lot of grass seeds, wild vegetables and grass root bark are added, but those things were eaten yesterday, and after the afternoon's events, they were specially cleaned and soaked in piles.

This makes them self-referential, and there is no pressure at all.

"Then take turns, Luo Jin, you come first today." Li Mingfeng ordered someone at random.

He answered, took the spoon from Wang Qinian's hand, and devoured a small spoonful of paste mixed with various ingredients, although it was very hot, but the long-lost aroma made him swallow them in one go.

"Alright, lift the pot off the fire, don't be confused." Li Mingfeng said.

Everyone sat around the fire and pot with staring at each other with hunger, many people had their stomachs rumbling, and everyone looked at each other, and the atmosphere was very strange.

In this weird atmosphere, Lin Chuan and Zeng Yu's mood finally improved.

"Brother Li......" Lin Chuan decided to have a good talk with Li Mingfeng, but Li Mingfeng shook his hand to stop him.

"Don't talk about those strict things before eating, and talk about anything after eating." He said.

But it was not a way to sit and wait stupidly like this, and suddenly someone said, "Bai Qi, sing to us." ”

One of the girls was pushed to her feet by the people around her, and she said a few modest words, and then said, "No accompaniment, let's sing a cappella." ”

The boy who had spoken earlier laughed, and after a moment of searching for a pile of wood to be used as firewood, he pulled out an acoustic guitar.

"You don't have anything to say now, do you?" He said with a smile.

The girl took the guitar, sighed, and then lowered her head to tune the strings.

She was very slender, and although she had become very thin after many days of starvation, she still gave the impression that she looked very tasteful.

Lin Chuan didn't like them to engage in these things in such a situation, but in addition to slandering them, he still looked forward to her singing like everyone else.

She casually played a short chord, which drew a round of applause from those around her.

She smiled softly, tried to play a few short pieces, and started singing as she played.

"There is no flower that will not be grateful

There are no waves that won't recede

There is no light that does not dim

What are you bothering about?

There is no scar that will not fade

There is no injury that will not be good

There is no despair that won't stop

What are you hesitating about?

Time never waits

Life is never noisy

Even if it's only for a moment, I'm not afraid

It's a moment for eternity."

Lin Chuan had never heard this song before.

But the girl sang the simple tune with a slightly sad touch on a somewhat tattered acoustic guitar, playing simple chords, but it immediately fascinated him.

The flames shook slowly, enveloping the girl with a golden light, making the girl singing the song look particularly beautiful.

The entire shelter fell silent, and everyone held their breath as she watched her tilt her head slightly and sing the chorus over and over again in a sweet voice.

"Even if it's only for a moment, I'm not afraid

It's a moment for eternity."

Lin Chuan's heart was relieved at that moment.

yes, what's so scary? Since death could not even frighten him, what was the point of this difficulty in front of him?

At least they're all alive, at least they're still clinging to basic morals, at least they're still working together to keep living.

This is already happier than thousands of people who have died.

Maybe Li Weilin is very tough, but why do they have to be like them?

It must be possible to use other methods, there is definitely more than one way to achieve the goal, and all he has to do is find the one that works for them.

The gentle singing voice relaxed his tense nerves, he glanced at Li Mingfeng, he was also listening to the singing intently, there seemed to be tears flashing in his eyes, I don't know what the singing made him think of.

Zeng Yu was already crying with tears all over his face.

Lin Chuan laughed self-deprecatingly.

Maybe it's really overdone.

He wasn't meant to be like that.

He has always been a simple person, believing in himself, believing in his companions, never giving up, life is so simple.

But ever since he became the leader of the team, he has been reactive in dealing with a variety of problems. He wants to do it too well, and puts everything on himself, for fear that something will go wrong, for fear that he will have an unbearable result because of one of his mistakes.

But the more this happens, the more difficulties and mistakes there become.

The more nervous he became because of this, the more he wanted to do everything well and not face failure again.

It is precisely because of this that he can't wait for everyone around him to be able to make mistakes, he can't wait for everyone to think like himself, and he hopes that everyone wants to do what he thinks, and he has unconsciously become a nasty person.

Why not go back to simplicity?

The world has become like this, no matter how much it is, it is impossible to make it better, it is a day to be full of worries, and it is also a day to be full of hope, so why not live a little happier?

There is no despair that can't be stopped, even if you can only live for this second, you must let yourself live happily for this second.

Life is nothing more than death, and if you look at it lightly, it will become simpler.

As long as you work hard, even if you fail, there is nothing to regret.

He figured it out.

The girl's singing was finally over, someone applauded, and she smiled and put the guitar down.

"One more, shall we?" The boy said.

I don't know whose stomach rumbled at this time.

Everyone laughed.

"It's been almost fifteen minutes." Li Mingfeng asked seriously. "Brother and sister who tried it, did anyone have a stomachache?"

No one answered, everyone looked at him. This is obvious, and no one seems to be abnormal.

"Is anyone feeling sick?"

"I'm just hungry." I don't know who said it. "After that bite, I feel even hungrier."

Everyone laughed again.

"That'...... Let's go! Li Mingfeng said.

The people cheered and began to eat the paste from the pot in various containers.

Lin Chuan gave a bowl to Jiang Ming, who was guarding at the door, and when he walked back, he saw Li Mingfeng sitting next to the seat he had just taken.

"Brother Li......" he said, and there was no complaint or mustard in his tone.

"Eat first, or these damn guys won't leave you any of them." Li Mingfeng said with a smile.

Lin Chuan took the bowl from his hand, lowered his head and drank it in a big gulp.

Conflicts between men are sometimes resolved so easily.

"Satisfied......" Zeng Yu carried the pot, eager to put his head in and lick it clean.

"I won't eat here tomorrow unless I change the pot." Jian Chen said with a smile. "It's disgusting."

"That's better, your share is mine." Zeng Yu replied indifferently.

Someone asked the girl to sing again, but she smiled and refused, so the other volunteered to take the guitar and play.

"Everyone, pay attention to the volume, don't lure the monster over." Lin Chuan reminded.

The noise immediately became quieter.

"Let's talk about tomorrow." He called the leaders of the various groups.

Lao Leng also woke up, and after eating most of the bowl of mush, his spirit was much better.

Although Lin Chuan had already explained that he had not said anything to Lao Leng, Li Mingfeng went to apologize to him, and he still nodded without saying a word, indicating that he knew.

Lin Chuan told everyone what he had experienced today, and everyone didn't notice the changes in his way of speaking and his language, but they just felt that he was not so aggressive anymore.

"What do you think?" He gave the question to everyone.

"It's not going to be a trap, is it?" Wang Qinian is still a pessimist. "Are they trying to weaken the monster with our hands and take that place themselves? Let's not make a wedding dress for them in vain. ”

"I don't think so." Lin Chuan shook his head. "He said there were thirty-three of them, and I didn't see all of them, but with the dozen or so people I saw, to be honest, it wasn't hard to destroy us at all. I don't think they're going to look down on our fight. ”

"Could it be that they are trying to take the place where we are staying?" Wang Qinian had another idea. "No matter how ruthless they are, if we guard that entrance, they won't be able to get in."

This statement was agreed by many people, and even Lin Chuan himself hesitated.

But he still said his feelings: "I don't think so, they can go on adventures purely to kill monsters, which shows that they don't lack food, water or a safe base." ”

"I think that's problematic." Tank said. "No matter how good they are, I don't believe anyone would kill monsters for no reason, unless they're tired of life."

This sentence caused Lin Chuan to think deeply.

He thought back to every detail he had seen in that team, and now there was indeed a disregard for life in the way they did things.

Lin Chuan felt that he was not afraid of death, but their appearance seemed to be looking forward to death.

He said what he thought, and everyone was stunned, is there really such a person?

"I didn't study psychology systematically, but I think it's possible." Chen Jian had to come out to search for his professional knowledge under everyone's eyes. "It's actually a kind of post-traumatic sequelae, some people will not be able to face the things that fear them for the rest of their lives, and some people will force themselves to face those things all the time. Many veterans who have lived through the war will be severely derailed from society after being discharged from the army, or even unable to live an ordinary life at all. He gave an example. You've all seen the first drop of blood, right? That's a typical post-traumatic patient. In today's world, anything can be born, maybe they don't have any expectations for the future, so they are not only subconsciously ready to face death, but even have a self-destruction plot. ”

Such an explanation can only be reluctantly accepted, and then the question is, should we take the risk?

At this time, Li Mingfeng talked about the results of the reconnaissance with the tank during the day.

The warehouse area of the temple was very large, with some residential areas interspersed, and what they saw that day was only a corner of it. In fact, behind that warehouse, there are various buildings that are almost ten times the size of the warehouse.

There should be enough supplies to feed them for a few years, but the problem is that there are so many monsters that it makes people's scalps numb, and there are many very large monsters.

It took a great deal of effort for both of them to go around without alerting them.

"There aren't many monsters in a single warehouse, but if you can't deal with them quickly, it's easy to attract monsters gathered elsewhere. With our current capabilities, even if we were able to get in, we wouldn't be able to get things out. Li Mingfeng said. Unless you can convince the group of people Lin Chuan encountered. ”

"But he made it a condition that we have fifty fighters like them." Lin Chuan replied.

"If we were that strong, would we still need to cooperate with them?" Wang Qinian said angrily. "It's just a nuisance! According to Lin Chuan, they should all be soldiers or something, but almost all of us are civilians, can this be compared together? ”

"They are not obligated to help us." Li Mingfeng said. "Instead of blaming others, let's think about what we can do, and since it's a collaboration, we also have something we can do it."

Everyone was silent.

Now they are in a situation where they need nothing but half-starved people, which makes them unable to think of the possibility of exchange.

"Do they need a doctor?" Jian Chen finally asked.

Lin Chuan shook his head. "What do you think of how they bandaged Lao Leng?"

"Better than me." Jian Chen replied sullenly, and then stopped talking.

"If you want me to say, they just don't have the eyes!" Zeng Yu said indignantly. "You'd rather die for nothing than help us, they're all crazy!"

No one cared about this, but Lin Chuan listened to it.

He couldn't help but look at the girl who sang just now, if she could move herself, could she also move Li Weilin and them?

If you can untie those shackles in their hearts, will they be willing to join here?

The girl seemed to sense his gaze, and her eyes glanced quickly to this side.

Lin Chuan lowered his head weakly, not seeing the disappointed expression on the girl's face.
