Chapter 579: Choosing the Path
That night, the plane soared over the Eastern Continent, crossing wide oceans, magnificent mountains and winding rivers. Their target was the ruins of that distant city, and they knew that Ye Ning and Li Yishuang's supplies were in short supply and needed emergency rescue.
As the plane flew towards its destination, they were able to see the outline of the ruins of the city. The once-bustling city is now desolate and ruined, drenched in gloom and dead silence. The blazing sun shone down on the ruins, making the radiation in the air seem even more intense.
The plane gradually approached their position, and the campfire below also came into view. This squad knows they are approaching the source of the emergency, and they are ready to provide aid and support upon arrival. It was a tense and expectant moment, because they didn't know what was really going on in the ruins of the city, and they had no right to care, they just had to drop the supplies.
Before the first rays of sunlight in the morning were sprinkled on the earth, Ye Ning, Li Yishuang and the Lion King were deeply immersed in sweet dreams. There were carefree smiles on their faces, as if they had found peace of escape from reality in their dreams.
However, this moment of tranquility was broken by the sudden roar of aircraft. The sound was like a distant thunderbolt, gradually approaching, shaking the air until it woke up the consciousness of the three men. They quickly broke free from their sleep, their eyes reflecting nervousness and alertness.
They looked up and saw a huge plane slicing through the clouds, its belly slowly opening, and a huge drop box was released from it. Wrapped firmly in a wide parachute, the box slowly blooms in the sky like a strange flower, and it floats soothingly to the earth with the rhythm of the wind.
Ye Ning quickly stood up, his eyes flashing with a sharp light. He stared at the falling box and determined its landing spot based on his own judgment of the direction and speed of the wind. And Li Yishuang and the Lion King were ready almost the moment Ye Ning made his decision.
The three of them hurriedly packed up their belongings and decided to follow the location of the box, hoping for the aid or some kind of news inside. Their steps were resolute and swift, as if they knew that the box contained not only supplies, but also hope that they could move on.
The early morning sun shone obliquely on the landing drop box, which slowly landed, and the wide parachute was like a protective umbrella, covering the box to shield it from the sun and the breeze. The color of the box looks a little old in the sun, but the sturdy texture and well-thought-out construction show that it will stand the test of time and harsh environments.
Ye Ning and Li Yishuang walked to the front of the drop box and forcefully opened the parachute that was a little warm from the sun. The sand and boulders on the parachute slid down, revealing the sturdy box. Ye Ning's hands tightly grasped the handle of the box and gently opened it.
The contents of the box are neatly arranged, and each item has its own place. The first thing that catches your eye is the military-grade compressed biscuits, which are sealed in vacuum packaging, and each piece is exceptionally full. Next to it are several large bottles of pure water, the body of the bottle is transparent, and the water inside sparkles in the sun, giving people a deep sense of security.
Ye Ning picked up one of the latest pistols and looked at it carefully, as if feeling its weight and texture. And Li Yishuang took out the instructions for use, and her eyes quickly swept over it, not letting go of every detail.
The two of them tacitly began to work, Ye Ning gently put the pistol and pure water into the backpack, while Li Yishuang carefully put the compressed biscuits away. Every movement seemed to be very skillful, as if he had been preparing for this moment for a long time, and the lion king watched from the sidelines, feeling the power and convenience of human technology.
Under the sun, the figures of the two are staggered, and the tacit understanding and resonance at that moment are particularly profound. The contents of the drop box were sorted out by them almost instantly, and each item was in its proper place, providing a solid backing for the rest of the journey.
The two of them quickly gathered the supplies into their backpacks, pinned their pistols to their waists, and everything was ready, and they went back to pack their sleeping bags and get ready to go again.
As Ye Ning, Li Yishuang and the Lion King continued to advance, they came to a slightly open grassland junction. Here, two dusty paths fork ahead.
The Lion King stopped
step, his eyes scanned sharply ahead. Its deep eyes seemed to see through everything, and its lion's mane fluttered in the breeze, looking noble and mighty.
"There are two paths ahead," the Lion King said in a deep voice, clear and intimidating like a metal strike, "one of which leads to the territory of a powerful predator who is extremely aggressive. On the second path, although it takes an extra month, the animals there are relatively less aggressive, although they have a strong sense of territory."
Ye Ning and Li Yishuang looked at each other, and they could see the hesitation and uneasiness in each other's eyes. The lion king was a little scared, could it be that his words clearly concealed his deep meaning?
The lion king stood on the high ground, the breeze blowing through the thick mane of his mane, and his eyes slightly revealed cunning. He looked at Ye Ning, his heart full of sparks of scheming and conspiracy. In fact, no matter which path Ye Ning chosen, the distance he experienced and the time it took were the same, and he already knew this fact.
The Lion King knew that now was the time to take advantage of Ye Ning's eagerness to hurry. He needs Ye Ning's strength, and he needs Ye Ning to help him deal with the animals that threaten his dominance. Although these animals are all powerful, under the planning of the Lion King, Ye Ning will become a tool to kill people with a knife, so that he can easily get rid of them without shedding a drop of blood.
This trick is called, borrowing a knife to kill, and the soldier is not bloody! The lion king knows how to make the most of resources.
The Lion King's eyes flashed with thoughtful wisdom, and he knew how to unfold this plan skillfully. He described the scene to Ye Ning, using words and demeanor to convey his intentions. He was not only seeking Ye Ning's help, but also guiding his thinking and letting him go in the direction he envisioned.
But Ye Ning's mind had flown back to the ruins, physically and mentally exhausted and afraid. There was a hint of exhaustion and fear in his eyes, and the experience of this time made him palpitate. He felt the danger of the Spider Forest, where he nearly lost his life.
And in the city contaminated by nuclear radiation, the horror and unrest there, Ye Ning originally wanted to hurry, but he found a bitter end, being infested by mosquitoes, bees, and all kinds of creatures contaminated by nuclear radiation, and he was always vigilant in those days and couldn't rest well.
These experiences made Ye Ning no longer in a hurry, he was eager to make steady progress and hope to move forward safely. He didn't want to take any more risks, he didn't want to face those dangerous challenges again. Ye Ning was instigated.
Therefore, he resolutely decided not to follow the lion king's vision, but chose the second path, even if it took an extra month.
Ye Ning's voice carried a hint of tiredness and firmness in his words, revealing his caution and determination, he was no longer swayed by the lion king's schemes, but stuck to his principles: "Choose the second one, slow down, slow down."
In fact, the lion king himself also understands in his heart that he is not unable to fight with those demon beasts on the other road, but because it is a little troublesome to deal with, after all, they are all carnivores, and those demon beasts are not vegetarians, and the risk of injury is very high.
After all, the back waves of the Yangtze River push the front waves, and the front waves die on the beach. No matter how strong the lion king's ability is, it can't compare to these rising stars, they have higher talents, and under the lion king's policy of gathering like things, their abilities will become stronger and stronger, and they will be more threatening in the future.
The Lion King is well aware of the importance of his position and leadership. He feared that if he was injured, the golden-winged roc watching his position would take the opportunity to defeat him and seize the leadership. Such consequences would be catastrophic, not only depriving him of the kingdom he had built, but also weakening order and stability in the steppe as a whole.
Although the Lion King was unhappy in his heart, he behaved calmly and did not refute, but lightly agreed that Ye Ning chose to take the second path. He understood that as a ruler, he had to be flexible in dealing with the situation, and it was wise to abandon the original plan. At this time, he was more concerned about preserving his life and not letting Ye Ning see through his true purpose.
Even though the Lion King was full of disappointment in his heart, he wisely did not show his emotions, nor did he refute Ye Ning's choice. He acquiesced to Ye Ning's wishes, and then resolutely walked towards the second path. This kind of decision-making embodies the mind of a true ruler, who knows that in some cases, the original must be abandoned
plan to preserve your power and life.
As a ruler, the Lion King is calm and wise, and he knows when to submit and when to remain majestic. The Lion King demonstrates his wisdom and cunning as a ruler, and he knows how to make wise choices in complex situations to ensure his dominance and safety. This is his political skill and conspiracy, and he knows that in front of Ye Ning, it is very important to maintain his position.
The Lion King didn't want Ye Ning to doubt his true motives, so instead of sticking to his plan, he chose to compromise. This kind of resourcefulness and flexibility is a quality that is required of a leader, and he understands that the most important thing now is to maintain a cooperative relationship with Ye Ning, not to maintain a temporary self-interest.
So, they left the first way that Ye Ning only needed force to deter them safely, and chose the second way with those animals who had a strong sense of territory and wanted to fight Ye Ning to the end.
