Section 291 Liability
After a violent beating, Ivanov's body was divided into more than a dozen pieces, and all his blood was given to Lin Chuan by He Daji, which made his recovery speed very slow, and the blood in his body was also weak.
But now, he can only look at what they have done with hatred.
There was not much energy in his blood, and Lin Chuan's injuries had recovered, but he was still in an extremely weak state.
"I'm going to find someone." He Daji said. "There are no mutated animals nearby, so it should be safe for a short time."
"With us, nothing will happen." Li Lei said.
To ensure safety, they stood on the side of Lin Chuan, away from Ivanov.
"You have to seal him with a lot of high-grade concrete, which is not something that a concrete truck can do." Lin Chuan said to He Daji.
"Don't worry, I'll get enough materials."
They watched He Daji disappear into the wreckage of the building, Li Lei and the others began to share the supplies they had brought with them, he handed one to Lin Chuan, and Lin Chuan swallowed them in a few bites.
It was a drop in the bucket for him, and it only made his hunger stronger.
This gave him a malicious urge to tear everyone around him to shreds, but he was still able to control himself.
The satellite phone on Li Lei's body rang, he answered the phone, and then handed it to Lin Chuan.
"Lin Chuan, congratulations!" Zhu Rong's voice said on the phone. "I didn't expect it to end out in such a way Ivanov, but we still succeeded after all!"
"There's nothing to be proud of." Lin Chuan shook his head. That's because he's too superstitious about his own power. Someone else may not succeed. β
With such a victory over Ivanov, he did not feel the slightest joy.
When He Daji beat Ivanov, he lay on the ground and quietly recalled the past few hours.
They used up all the resources they could. They tried their best, but both of them were almost killed, and if it weren't for Ivanov's carelessness, they would probably have been killed separately.
They don't have the ability to compete with other Tier 1 Bloodline Ones at all.
Lin Chuan couldn't help but think that if it was Huang Ande here, maybe they wouldn't have such an opportunity at all.
He would not waste time torturing He Daji, nor would he be lured by Lin Chuan to keep going around in circles in the north of the city. Lin Chuan guessed that he might directly destroy He Daji. Then go after Li Weilin and them. If he found that Lin Chuan was consciously leading him north, he might have gone to the southern part of Jianghai to find out, and at that time. In order to protect his companions, Lin Chuan will have to fight him directly.
The results can be terrible.
Lin Chuan was thinking nonsense, while Zhu Rong asked on the other side, "When are you coming back?" β
"I don't want to go back to the Northwest." Lin Chuan replied. "My companions are all in Jianghai, and the people here need me."
Zhu Rong was silent for a moment. He continued: "But we need you more here. Huang Ande and Long Qi are still here. Do you think they'll never get out of trouble? We finally managed to control them, do you want to just let them go? What about those level 6 bloodline? Have you thought about what to do with them? You know that with our two Level 3 bloodline, it's impossible to take care of everything. β
Lin Chuan was silent and did not answer.
"Jiang Hai is already in a bad place, and in this situation, it is a great waste for two Level 1 bloodline people to be in the same place." Zhu Rong continued.
"He can come to you too." Lin Chuan said.
"We don't know him well enough to work with him like we do with you. And He Daji's personality is too frivolous and his ability is not reliable, you should know this very well. Zhu Rong said tirelessly. There are 400,000 people in Jianghai, but there are still tens of millions in the northwest. Where do you think he's better? We all need you, but the Northwest needs you even more. β
"Let me think about it." Lin Chuan replied weakly.
"We don't have a choice. There is also no time. Zhu Rong said. You have to be held accountable before things get worse. β
Lin Chuan knew very well what she meant.
Tens of thousands of Level 6 Bloodline Individuals under Li Yaoyao's subordinates needed a huge amount of blood to support them every day, and now they were temporarily using those captured Level 3 Bloodline Individuals to feed them, but that couldn't last a few days.
When the Jining base was destroyed, hundreds of thousands of civilians around the base who were used as blood banks also died at the same time, and there was no longer enough population in the surrounding area to support such a huge bloodline army.
In the face of the onslaught of monsters, they are a fortress of steel, causing countless monsters to crush in front of this fortress.
But driven by hunger, they too will turn into horrific killing legions.
No survivor colony could afford such a provision, and the results of indulgence would be terrible, and they would sweep through city after city like locusts.
It is entirely foreseeable that all remaining human beings will be killed in the near future.
Kill them?
Lin Chuan couldn't make such a decision.
They were once the most loyal soldiers, and it was the military hierarchy who turned them into bloodline in response to the monster tide, and four out of every ten of them died in vain.
Without their desperate battles, perhaps the Northwest would have been in ruins like the rest of the world.
No matter who they were fighting under their command, they defended the others with their actual actions, and Lin Chuan couldn't see them as monsters that could be killed at will, let alone as tools that could be thrown away when they could be used.
The phone never hung up, Zhu Rong knew Lin Chuan's personality well, and she quietly waited for his reply.
"We have to resume exchanges between the rivers and seas and the northwest." Lin Chuan finally spoke again.
"That's fine." Zhu Rong replied quickly. "Since there are not many monsters in Jianghai anymore, you can clean up Hongqiao Airport and restore it to use. But if the mutant bats cannot be completely eradicated, every take-off and landing will face great danger. β
"I'll leave this to He Daji." Lin Chuan said, he hesitated for a moment and said. "I'll do my best."
"We can probably support it for about seven days." Zhu Rong said. "The pressure on the front line is not so great, so Li Yaoyao has moved some of the troops to the Great Salt Lake area and the Hetao area to relieve the pressure on the blood supply, but the ability of the two of us cannot take care of too many places. There are still a few Level 3 Bloodline Men under Ivanov who are moving freely outside, which is a potential danger. β
"I'll do my best to go back." Lin Chuan said helplessly.
Zhu Rong finally hung up the phone, and after Lin Chuan handed the phone back to Li Lei, he fell into deep thought again.
He knew very well that Zhu Rong must have exaggerated the crisis, but it didn't make a difference, he might be able to drag it out for a few days in Jianghai, but in the end he still got to the northwest to solve the problem.
Huang Ande took out the Central Committee and the Military Commission, but he succeeded in maintaining the relationship between the survivors in his own way, and kept the agricultural and industrial systems in the northwest barely functioning.
Now that Lin Chuan has killed him, and some kind of Cheng DΓΉ has also overturned the model he has established, it means that Lin Chuan must take the same responsibility.
That's definitely not going to be easy.
Managing a small survivor camp had exhausted Lin Chuan, and he didn't have the confidence to do something so huge.
He Daji didn't run back until after dark, and he brought a few liters of blood to Lin Chuan, which finally made him regain some of his spirit.
"We've got to bring Ivanov over." The two of them said in unison, and they couldn't help but laugh.
"We're both stupid." He Daji said with annoyance. "It's easier to get him than a couple of tons of cement."
"Yes." Lin Chuan nodded. "Have you found the materials and the manpower?"
"Looking." He Daji said. "Most of the cement we found was unusable because it was not properly stored, but there will always be a warehouse somewhere that still has some usable left, but it just takes a little manpower and time, and we can find it after all."
"Manpower and time." Lin Chuan nodded and said.
He Daji inadvertently said what Lin Chuan felt most embarrassed about.
Especially manpower.
Huang Ande has a complete echelon under his command, 3 Level 1 Bloodline Masters are in charge of one qiΔ, a few Level 2 Bloodlines and hundreds of Level 3 Bloodlines are the backbone, these backbones monitor and lead 50,000 Level 6 Bloodlines and thousands of Level 7 Bloodlines, and they control countless survivor settlements scattered in the vast northwest land.
But Lin Chuan only has himself, He Daji, Zhu Rong, Li Yaoyao and Sun Jing.
Just enough for a slap in the face.
Maybe Leng Suan and Li Mingfeng can be added?
But they are just ordinary people, can they really suppress those bloodlines who treat civilians as livestock?
"Do you want to go to the Northwest?" He couldn't help but ask.
"What do you mean?" He Daji asked suspiciously.
"I killed Huang Ande, so what he left behind is in my hands. The fate of millions, if not tens of millions, can now be determined by me, isn't it? Lin Chuan said with a wry smile.
"Dio!" He Daji seemed to be frightened and jumped up. "You can't tell the truth, can you? The hundreds of thousands of people in Yangshan Port are annoying enough, and millions of them? He rubbed his head in annoyance. You don't know, I've been annoying to death these days! Every day, at least a dozen groups of people come to me for ideas, and everyone points to me to eat, drink, and Lazar! If there are really tens of millions of people, then don't you be annoyed to death? β
"How can the heroes of the story be so relaxed?" He looked at Lin Chuan pitifully and asked. "Why didn't they run into this?"
"?" Lin Chuan was amused by his words. "Perhaps, but it's a responsibility we have as superpowers."
He reached out and patted He Daji's shoulder.
"Let's go back." He said. "No matter how difficult it is, you have to go step by step." (To be continued......)
