"Yin Wang, Yalei! The two of you will compare and correct the left and right halves with the existing map, and I'll copy the strategy and distribution map."

Getting this impeccable big gain, Rick still commanded in a calm and composed tone.

""Take an oath to the will!" 」

Hearing this order, Yin Wang and Ya Lei couldn't hide their excitement and replied in unison.

It was an oath made with the deceased, and it was made public as a sign of agreement.

Then the three of them quickly took out the paper, ink, and measuring props from their backpacks and began to work.

Time was of the essence, and they had to complete the survey and transcription of the map as quickly and correctly as possible.

At this point, Areh seemed to have a sudden idea of a solution to the current situation.

"I said Rick, can't we bring this map projection device back?"

Seeing Rick slowly raise his head, Areley continued, "That's more correct, isn't it? It's not so big that it's inconvenient to carry, and we don't have to waste paper and time..."

"No, we can't bring back what relies on elves to operate, so let's copy it quickly."

Faced with Are's proposal, Rick refused without waiting for him to finish.

"But if it's just that..."

"Yare."

Rick's voice became as sharp as a knife blade, and he coldly called out Are's name.

"If you want to die, just say it, and I'll fulfill you."

Removing his expression, with a black killing intent in his eyes that could not reflect the light, Rick said in a low voice.

"After all, it's better than the monsters who sense the elves' reaction and turn the settlement into a dead place."

"I, I know, I'm sorry, I was wrong!"

Startled by Rick's words and expressions, Yalei quickly shook his head.

"But, but you don't have to be that angry, do you?"

Yalei muttered quietly.

"Ray, Rick is right, you can't forget where we stand, right?"

Seeing this, Yin Wang also spoke up.

Although his tone seemed to be persuading Yalei, the expression on his face was extremely serious.

Looking at Rick and Yin Wang's expressions, Yalei couldn't help but swallow his saliva.

"We neither exist nor can we exist, because only if we do not exist we will not be discovered." 」

"Don't you remember it well?"

"'It's too much work to copy the map' There's no point in dying for this reason, right?"

Seeing that Ya Lei hadn't completely forgotten their position, Yin Wang's expression slowly relaxed.

"We neither exist nor can we exist, because only if we do not exist we will not be discovered."

These are the rules that Rick has set when he becomes the leader of his settlement.

Through strict adherence to this rule, only forty-seven people have died since Rick, who was only thirteen years old five years ago, when his settlement was destroyed once more, and he proposed this rule and became the leader of the thousand-man tribe.

In five years, only forty-seven people died.

Moreover, all 47 of them died during the "expedition", which is nothing short of a miracle for a settlement living in such a desperate environment.

Before Rick led the settlement, the number of tribes with a population of 2,000 was far greater than that in the case of a tribe with a population of 2,000 people.

And if you encounter other races, the number of deaths can reach hundreds or thousands.

That's why everyone in this settlement believes in Rick.

All of them entrust their lives on his shoulders.

Although whenever Yin Wang and Rick's dark and chaotic eyes met, they would feel sorry for him in their hearts.

After all, he was only eighteen years old.

It's already heavy on my shoulders, and it's hard to breathe

Finish.

But there is no way.

The only person in this world who can do this is Rick.

They can only rely on Rick.

So, he wouldn't allow others to question Rick's orders.

If Yalei really forgot their position, even if it was a teammate who depended on each other for life and death, Yin Wang would not forgive each other.

"I'm sorry!"

Yalei whispered an apology.

Yin Wang's thoughts are also the same.

Anyone who lives in that settlement understands Rick's importance.

They are all willing to follow in Rick's footsteps to the death.

Just now, he just wanted to save some supplies for the settlement, and he just had a certain amount of luck.

However, in the reprimand of Rick and Yin Wang, Yalei also realized his mistake.

He calmed down and focused on the work at hand.

Although they had a quarrel before, in fact, neither of them stopped their movements.

Even Yare, who offered to bring things back to the settlement.

Although he still has a hint of luck in his heart due to the sharpness of youth, the experience of surviving in this world has taught him when what is most important.

Even if it's to meet death.

And just as the three of them were about to finish their work completely, a heavy vibration sound faintly sounded from the ground not far away.

「！」

At that moment, as if they had made an appointment in advance, the three of Rick lowered their posture at the same time and rushed into the shadows to hide.

In the dark corner, the three of Rick tried their best to restrain their breath.

The sound of breathing, the sound of a heartbeat.

Any sounds that may be exposed are to be restrained as best you can.

And as the leader, the experienced Rick took off his gloves, took out the knife, and did not hesitate to thin the tip of his index finger.

He then pressed the exposed nerves to the ground, using his fingertips to gather information from the floor, while his other hand was behind his ear, listening intently.

In this case, Rick never considered the method of visual confirmation, because poking his head out would be suicidal.

And lying on the ground, with his ears on the ground, Rick did not consider the method, because he also needed to use his ears to hear sounds outside the ground.

It was this very reasonable method that Rick used to analyze the information that the enemy had inadvertently leaked.

Even just the vibrations and sounds can be inferred from the magnitude and rhythm of the vibrations.

Rick analyzes the intel while gesturing to inform his companions of the situation.

"The other party is fifty meters away from us, walking on two legs, the number is one, the movement is heavy and slow, according to the other party's stride, the other party's height is estimated to be about six meters."

[In view of the general environment,

According to the innocence from Rick, Yin Wang calculated in his heart that the enemy was coming.

Then, he came to a bitter conclusion.

"It's a demon seed!"

Yalei, who also came to this conclusion, also showed a look of horror.

It was the eleventh of the fifteenth ranks.

It is an existence that humans cannot resist.

Once the other party discovers their traces, then the three of them die here on the spot is the best outcome.

As for the worst outcome?

Of course, it was chased into the settlement by the other party following the trail of escape, causing all the humans in the settlement to die.

After confirming that the enemy was coming, Rick instantly turned his head and looked at Yin Wang.

At this moment, Yin Wang already knew what Rick was going to say.

"Yin Wang, this is an order."

"I command you to die here."

Rick will definitely say this, and Yin Wang, as a comrade-in-arms, knows it very well.

Only if he takes the initiative to make a voice and try his best to attract the attention of the demon seed can he give Rick and Aree a chance to escape

。

In order to preserve the greatest results with the least sacrifice.

The forty-seven who died before him had all died in this way.

Therefore, Yin Wang has already come to his senses.

And just as Yin Wang waited for Rick to give that order, a loud voice suddenly sounded in the silent ruins.

"Oh, you're a demon seed!"
