They've already thought that far ahead.

Lin Yuan smiled, patted the two little ones on the head, and didn't say anything more.

They have a long road ahead, and they will gradually find their own path.

The atmosphere was somewhat tense early the next morning because the survivors had all been rejected.

Although everyone tried their best to explain to them.

However, because they still have their own fixed way of thinking, some of the people who were rejected got stuck on their own ideas.

They wouldn't believe in qualifications or anything like that; they would only think that they lacked family background and connections, which was why Lin Yuan and his group couldn't find them attractive.

However, because they still needed Lin Yuan and the others' protection, everyone suppressed their resentment and did not vent it.

However, this will inevitably lead to trouble sooner or later.

Lin Yuan sensed it, but didn't say anything.

What he's meant to experience will come sooner or later. He won't deliberately avoid it, nor will he rush through it; he'll just wait quietly.

The vast Y province has countless mountains, and some of them have well-preserved mountain roads that can be driven up, so everyone set off together.

When the vehicle can no longer drive up the mountain, some people will stay behind to protect the survivors, while the rest will go up the mountain to search for them.

Of course, they didn't forget to search for spiritual veins during this time.

As this happened repeatedly, some survivors began to have doubts.

When another operation began, and it became clear that only a few people remained to protect them, while there were dozens of survivors, the situation suddenly became unbalanced.

"They even took those two clueless apprentices with them, but not us? They really don't take us seriously!"

Some survivors felt uncomfortable seeing their protectors keeping a certain distance from them.

"The car can't get up there, so what do you want?"

Some people couldn't stand it and talked back.

Without Lin Yuan and his team's rescue, these people would have died long ago.

They either die at the hands of zombies or starve to death.

Now we have food and drink, and people to protect us. We'll be able to leave this awful place soon and stay in a safe place in the future. What more could we ask for?

"It's your business if you have no objections, but I can't even say anything?"

"Exactly. Most of the people here are soldiers, and even those who are retired are more qualified than ordinary people. How could those two little brats be as good as us?"

"I think they only took them in because those two kids are so easy to fool and coax..."

"Hey, don't judge others by your own standards, okay?"

"That's awful! Aren't you ashamed? Think about how you're treated right now before you say that!"

"Ingratitude is too mild a word; you people are truly beyond saving!"

The people on both sides were clearly separated.

It looked like they were about to start a fight over a single word.

Just then, Qiao Cheng, who had been left behind to temporarily act as captain, came over.

Behind him were the team members who had also been left behind.

"Those who want to continue to follow us and be protected by us, stand behind us."

He gave a cold glance at the crowd and said.

Upon hearing this, the survivors who had just spoken up for them immediately got up and stood over there without saying a word.

joke!

If you don't quickly choose a side at a time like this, you're courting death!

Seeing that two-thirds of the survivors had already stood there, the remaining people became somewhat angry.

"Did we say something wrong? He saved us; it was his mission, his duty. But there's something fishy about him not taking us as his apprentices!"

"Just by looking at you guys, I can tell you're all rich and powerful. Lin Yuan only takes in people like you!"

"If it is, then it is. There's nothing wrong with admitting it openly. We won't say anything."

Some people, still resentful, stubbornly refused to compromise.

Moreover, relying on their status as survivors and the fact that Lin Yuan and his group were on a mission to rescue them and would never harm them, they were so arrogant.

Xia Zhi and his three companions were not taken up the mountain because they had just begun their cultivation.

I couldn't help but laugh when I heard that.

"First of all, Lin Yuan is not a member of the rescue team sent down from above."

Xia Zhi stepped forward and said with a sneer, "The reason he came to rescue us is simply because the entire Y Province is shrouded in a special barrier, preventing the national rescue team from getting in."

"And then, brother, if you really don't know the inside story, that's fine, but I remember you specifically asked about this once. You clearly know what's going on, so why are you saying this now? What are you really up to?"

"So, you're only causing trouble because you think Lin Yuan is being kind and won't do anything to you?"

He recounted how Lin Yuan had saved them.

"So now I'm telling you, people who court death will never walk out alive, because Lin Yuan and the others will really give up on the rescue."

Everyone was shocked by these words.

Those who chose to stand with Lin Yuan were alarmed, but also glad that they had the foresight to not stand on the opposite side.

Besides, in this situation, only a fool would stir up trouble, right?

What kind of time is this to dare to do this? They're practically asking for death!

Those who were intimidated were the ones who harbored resentment.

They originally thought that Lin Yuan hadn't reprimanded them because he was under orders and couldn't say anything.

Who would have thought that once he made the decision, he would abandon the rescue effort?

"You, you must be talking nonsense! How could he dare? Those are two lives!"

Some people questioned it, their voices trembling.

"Those two people, one named Yu Yi and the other Zhang Yan, were always going against us, constantly trying to instill in us the idea that the country had abandoned us. Later, they even tried to kill us when we were about to be rescued!"
