Zhong Rui took a closer look and found that there were indeed a lot of food in the cabinet. A wooden barrel of flour, a bottle of cooking oil, several canned fruits, a dozen eggs, and seven or eight sausages. There was meat and fish next to it, which were either salted, smoked, or air-dried, so they had a long shelf life.

In the cabinet on the lower right corner, he also found ten packages of beef jerky, each weighing half a pound. Next to it was a bag of rice, weighing about six pounds.

Everyone stared at the food all over the ground, and their mouths couldn't help but drool.

Zhong Rui asked, "Have you looked elsewhere?"

Qian Jun stepped forward and replied, "I've looked, but there's nothing."

"Yes." Zhong Rui responded, and told a few people to carry the supplies, and then said, "Let's go back."

However, just as he was about to leave, he was stopped by two bags of rice. Upon closer inspection, the rice bags were brand new, all weighing 5kg.

At this time, the rescued girl had disappeared.

"What the hell!! 20 kilograms of rice!" Some people couldn't help but swear in ecstasy.

Knowing that this was a thank-you gift, Zhong Rui didn't hesitate and asked someone to take it back.

That night, the cook prepared several dishes in a row.

A pot of rice porridge is stewed very thickly, and the rice grains are plump and look very tempting.

Mix the flour and eggs evenly, cut three pieces of minced meat into the ham sausage, and fry them with cooking oil. More than 30 fragrant pancakes are ready.

Add a plate of beef jerky and a slice of salted fish, and the meal is ready. There is not only fish and meat, but also staple food and snacks. The dishes are very rich.

"Eat as much as you want tonight. You'll be full." As soon as Zhong Rui made the announcement, everyone started scrambling for food like starving ghosts.

Su Han took an egg pancake and ate it, but he felt a little regretful. It would have been more fragrant if he had added some chopped green onions...

Zhong Rui joined the army of people scrambling for food, holding rice porridge in his left hand and an egg pancake in his right hand, alternating between them, and suddenly he felt his appetite grow. He gulped down two bowls of porridge in a row, and ate a large piece of pancake before he stopped contentedly - he could still eat more, but his stomach was already full, so there was no need to waste food.

After dinner, several people lay on the ground, holding their stomachs, repeatedly complaining that they were too full. Their pain was mixed with pleasure, their joy was mixed with forbearance, and their expressions were extremely complicated.

Su Han sat down next to his friend and reminded him calmly, "The day after tomorrow will be the 11th day."

We will soon find out what kind of test the system will give us.

In response, Zhong Rui said, "When an enemy comes, we will fight him with our troops; when a flood comes, we will block it with earth. There is no point in getting anxious."

Su Han felt that this guy had an extremely good mentality.

Have a good night's sleep.

The next morning, the system's mechanical voice announced, "Game day 10, white supply crates 3/50."

Su Han was slightly dazed, but soon returned to normal.

In fact, the reason why she was stunned was that she was extremely lucky that day, and the three chances were triggered at the same time! Not only did she get 4 bottles of milk, 1 piece of brown bread, 1 piece of meat floss cream bread, 1 piece of chocolate cake, but she also got five nutritional capsules!

After a moment, the system's mechanical voice continued, "There are 10,934 survivors remaining in E44 City, including 460 players and 10,474 NPC residents."

Su Han raised her eyebrows, somewhat surprised. Should we say that the players who have managed to hold on until now are more ambitious? There are many more people who stayed than she thought.

Zhong Rui was also surprised. "There were 20,000 people at the start, and only half of them died?"

A loss rate of nearly 50% cannot be considered low. However, the dungeons he had recently experienced were all quite brutal, with only a few people dying at any time. Therefore, in comparison, the loss rate in the dungeon trapped in the war was very insignificant.

"Perhaps he finally realized the importance of experience points and upgrades?" Su Han guessed, "If he just barely makes it through each level, it will be harder to pass it in the later stages."

"It's possible, but it doesn't matter." Zhong Rui's expression suddenly became serious. "The most important thing is what the system will say tomorrow."

"Be patient and wait." Su Han glanced at his portable warehouse, trying to gain a sense of security from weapons such as Desert Eagle, grenades, and time explosives.

Day 10 was calm.

On the 11th day, the system's mechanical voice announced, "The war has been lost, and the city has been captured. The enemy will enter the city in batches to complete the cleansing."

"Note 1: 600 soldiers entered the city today. They carry pistols and have a full stamina of 100. They will shoot and kill any survivors they see."

"Note 2: 600 soldiers will be divided into 60 teams of ten to search the city. Players are requested to avoid them."

"600 soldiers!" Su Han frowned, feeling that the situation was tricky.

Although there were tens of thousands of survivors in the city, many of them were not capable of attacking. Although there were only 600 soldiers, they were all equipped with pistols and worked well with each other.

Even worse, according to the system, soldiers will continue to enter the city in the next few days. The enemy's strength is steadily increasing, while our manpower is continuously decreasing. No matter how you look at it, it seems like we are doomed.

Su Han rubbed his brows and thought that it was almost impossible to survive until the 15th day under the pursuit of thousands of armed soldiers. Therefore, the only way to pass the level was...

"Let's start first!" Zhong Rui said firmly in an unquestionable tone, "We will clear out as many soldiers as come into the city every day."

"I thought so too. But..." Su Han looked worried, "There are more than 10,000 survivors in the city. How many of them would want to resist together?"

"With too many people escaping, and insufficient manpower, it will be extremely difficult to deal with the enemy."

"Even if we can defeat ten with one, we can't defeat a hundred with one. If we want to win, we must gather the strength of everyone in the city."

“We have to take action first!” Zhong Rui’s eyes were dark as he said in a deep voice, “Only if some people resist first and succeed, others will have the courage to resist together. If everyone plays hide-and-seek together, it’s only a matter of time before they are killed one by one.”

"That's right." Su Han sighed lightly, then cheered up, "Then let us take the lead."

As they spoke, 600 soldiers were thrown into the city. They dispersed and searched for survivors everywhere.

**

In the residential building, a scream suddenly sounded, breaking through the sky, "Run! The enemy is coming!!"

Soon, several people packed their belongings with bed sheets, took their belongings, and hurried out.

They ran wildly all the way, not daring to stop, and had no intention of resisting at all.

"Bang-bang-bang" gunshots rang out and someone fell down.

The others didn't dare to look back and ran even faster, fearing that they would be left behind and be the next to be killed.

"Ah..." A six-year-old boy accidentally tripped himself and fell to the ground.

His mother hurriedly stopped and tried to pick up the child, but due to long-term malnutrition, she had no strength and could not hold him up for a while.

"Help me, please help me." The young mother pleaded in a low voice.

But the others looked panicked and wanted to run hundreds of meters in one breath and were unwilling to stop at all.

Behind him, ten soldiers were approaching step by step.

The young mother hugged her child tightly, with despair in her eyes.

At this moment, numerous steel balls rained down on the soldiers.

The young mother held her child tightly and protected him tightly.

On the other side, there was a constant sound of steel balls hitting the ground, and occasional gunshots. If someone listened carefully, they would find that the gunshots were slightly different, as if they were two different types.

After a long while, a man walked up to the young mother and comforted her softly, "It's all right now."

The young mother was terrified and raised her head carefully, but she found that the soldiers had turned into white light one after another, and they had obviously been killed.

What's going on? She looked around in confusion.

Su Han raised his voice and said loudly, "The enemy team that came to search has been killed. You don't have to run away anymore."

The enemy was killed?

Some of those who hadn't run far couldn't help but look out to see what was happening. When they found that all ten enemy soldiers had really disappeared, they suddenly widened their eyes, as if they couldn't believe the reality.

Zhong Rui scanned the surroundings with extremely sharp eyes, full of aura. When everyone showed a trace of fear in their eyes, he said calmly, "The city is so small, there are more than 600 enemy soldiers, all of them are equipped with guns, where can you escape to?"

People were very dissatisfied, "We can't just sit there and wait to die!"

"We don't know how to fight, so of course we can only run away."

"Although we have more than 30 people, we have no weapons. How can we fight them? If we don't run away, we will definitely be doomed!"

Zhong Rui raised his lips in disapproval, "Can we carve wood to make bows and arrows? Can we hit them on the back of the head with a stone? Can we have one person hold the soldier's thigh, one person hold the soldier's arm, and the third person use a knife to cut the target's artery?"

The whole audience was silent.

Zhong Rui said in a deep voice, "No one is born knowing how to fight. If you don't want to die, you have to bite the bullet and learn."

"That's easy to say." Someone whispered back.

Su Han suddenly sneered and spoke bluntly, "When the city is trapped, can you grow food? Do you know how to get clean drinking water? Do you know how to survive without water, electricity, and natural gas?"

Without waiting for others to speak, she continued, "It's not because we have mastered survival skills that we are alive. It's because we are forced by the environment to study, learn, and adapt that we are able to survive to this day."

"Don't know? Then find a way to learn it!"

"Whether you fight or flee, I will resist to the end."

Su Han looked at everyone expressionlessly and said word by word, "I will never be a lamb to be slaughtered."

After saying the last sentence, Su Han turned around and left without hesitation - there were many enemy troops and time was limited, so she had no extra time to waste.

Next was Zhong Rui, who left silently.

Then came the eleven men armed with slingshots, who left indifferently without saying a word.

The remaining residents looked at each other and no one spoke for a long time.

After a long while, one of them sighed deeply and had to face the reality. "Actually, they are right. The place is so small. Where can we run to?"

"I was actually looked down upon by a young girl..." Someone reflected sadly, "I am a grown man, no matter how bad I am, I can't be inferior to a girl, right?"

"Actually, think about it, the enemy isn't that scary. No matter how strong they were, aren't all of them dead now? If we fight seriously, we can win."

"We can live for a year without food or water, so there's no reason why we can't make it now. We've been neighbors for decades, so let's get together and discuss how to deal with this."

"How about we dig a hole? Dig it bigger, so that the enemy can't get out after stepping on the trap, and then we fill it with soil to bury the people."

…

Everyone started discussing the issue and actively offering suggestions. The long-lost blood in their hearts was aroused and they could no longer ignore it.

**

On the other side, Su Han was still furious. Although she knew that many people just wanted to save their lives, she still felt aggrieved when she saw more than 30 people being chased by 10 people - if they had just united and rushed over to fight, the battle would have been over long ago!

"Why don't you say anything to them?" Su Han was in a very bad mood.

Zhong Rui glanced sideways, "What did you say? I was still thinking about my lines, and you said all the words."

Su Han, "..."

The author has something to say: Data shows that during the war, dozens of soldiers with knives could kill thousands of people because no one resisted.

Sometimes people's thinking is really strange. If you resist, you will die, so no one resists. But no one says that you can live without resistance.

**

There are no fatal parts in the game, so you won't die if you get attacked in the inner part, solar plexus, or heart. Similarly, you lose stamina after getting attacked, so if you get enough steel balls, you can kill someone.

**

In the game, players and NPCs will disappear in white light after death. NPCs will not find it strange because this is their "common sense".
