Chapter 525 You have to survive first before you have the right to choose how to live
"I don't agree!"
Someone retorted without hesitation, "Haven't you been to the Second Alliance? Don't you know what they're like? I'd rather contribute here than be associated with people like them!"
"Yeah, I'll never forget the look of disgust. We are human beings too, so why aren't we treated as human beings?"
"The Second Alliance's bases have all seen their value rise, and they look down on us independent survivors!"
"It's because we look down on independent survivors that we want to set up a base."
"If we join in as a base, we will also be members of the alliance."
"Don't be silly! Even if a base is established and joined, there are still different levels! We are not the same as that group, so there is no need to force ourselves to blend in!"
"But if I don't join, what if I have to face this situation again? In the apocalypse, we can't care about our reputation!"
“…”
The last sentence silenced those who strongly opposed it.
Yes, even if the Second Alliance is looked down upon by them, they are still members of the alliance and are protected by the alliance.
When necessary, enjoy resources before others.
This is an indisputable fact.
This life-and-death experience made them realize the reality and forced them to submit to it.
Got to survive first.
Only then do you have the right to choose how to live.
"But we have all used medicine, we have antibodies, we don't have to give up, we will definitely be able to end the apocalypse as soon as possible." Some young survivors are full of hope, but still unwilling to compromise.
Someone shook their head and explained, "Potion distribution is only one aspect."
The most important thing is that this world has been divided into levels.
Today it’s just potion, what about another day?
Are those at the bottom of society only able to serve as stepping stones for those at the top?
The atmosphere was low and dull.
Everyone faces the choice of compromising with reality and sticking to themselves.
This end of the world has ultimately forced people into their ugliest state. They dare not imagine that if they compromise this time, what about next time?
After all their compromises, do they still have a bottom line?
After a long thought——
"I still disagree. I believe the Central Base is not someone who cannot distinguish right from wrong. They will give us an explanation." Some stubborn people still insisted.
"You are crazy. What right do we have to explain? They are our own people!" someone said excitedly.
Those who insisted on refusing did not speak, but their attitude was firm.
In fact, it is difficult for those who propose to join the Second Alliance to make a decision, no matter how eager they are.
It’s more like they are trying to persuade themselves rather than their teammates.
The air was tense.
It's so depressing that it makes you unable to breathe.
At this moment, footsteps were heard outside the door, and a figure rushed in like a gust of wind, breaking the suffocating atmosphere.
"Good news, friends! Very good news!"
“…”
Everyone looked up in confusion and looked towards the door.
He is a member of the Central Base.
This young man looked familiar, he interacted with them a lot and was usually very nice to them.
But at this moment, because of the topic just now, the looks they gave each other were very subtle, and they always felt that there was a galaxy between them and each other.
They are standing together, yet they are worlds apart...
The young team member was completely oblivious to the strange atmosphere and simply announced the news, "Base Captain Lu and Deputy Base Captain Sheng just proposed that you join the First Alliance!"
“…??!!”
The looks in everyone's eyes changed from dull and helpless to shocked and unbelievable.
She stood up away from the door and nervously confirmed with him, "What did you say?"
"That batch of potions was originally meant for everyone and had already been distributed. However, Captain Feng didn't take good care of them, leading to this outcome. So, Captain Feng is leading everyone in the battle to replenish the missing crystal cores..."
The young team member conveyed the original words verbatim.
He came over excitedly to report the news, and the leader didn't stop him. Doesn't that mean he agreed?
They should know what the above means.
The league doesn't want to do that either.
Unwilling to create rifts with teammates fighting side by side.
After hearing these explanations, everyone looked at each other, as if they couldn't believe that happiness came so suddenly.
“Bang!”
A crisp sound.
Then a man turned to look at the person next to him, his face blank, "Why did you hit me?"
The man who was doing the 'violence' suppressed the ecstasy in his eyes and asked excitedly, "Does it hurt?"
Although the latter's brain was slow, he immediately understood what he meant.
The response was a slap back at the other party.
"What do you think?"
“…”
The two slaps made the team member who was delivering the message at the door twitch his eyes.
No, stop fighting!
But the next second, both parties held hands and became excited, "It hurts! It's not a dream, great, it's not a dream!"
"I told you to trust the Central Base. They'll give us an explanation!"
"They're different from the Second Alliance. They don't treat us like dirt! They see our dedication!"
“…”
The room was filled with chaotic sounds.
There were cheers, voices of gratitude, and even tears of joy.
The team member who delivered the message only realized it at this time, "Hey? Why are you all here?"
With everything so complete, he doesn't need to report the news to everyone one by one.
But why does it feel weird?
He stood there scratching his head.
No one had time to give him an answer…
The First Alliance was quickly reorganized, with new teammates joining, and almost doubled in size.
The new teammates are all scattered in various groups.
This move made the survivors feel more cared for.
The central base is well thought out.
I was worried that the old teammates would form cliques and that the new teammates would not have a sense of belonging, so I dispersed them into each team and let them integrate into their original teams.
Of course, there is no need to worry about cooperation.
Before they had a separate group, they had all collaborated many times.
It's just a 'status' that's missing.
…
On the other side, the Second Alliance had just calmed down.
After the medicine was brought back, it was definitely given to the wounded first. But after using it up, a piece of good news was discovered.
There are about a hundred copies left.
This is not an ordinary medicine, it is a life-saving medicine.
Even though the Second Alliance seems to be a whole, each organization has its own little tricks.
Several major bases began to compete for the ownership of these dozens of spare medicines.
In short, who keeps it.
No one trusts anyone, and no one feels at ease with anyone.
They began to go over old accounts, citing previous examples, such as the medicines being taken back, which base received more, which base received less, which base still had surplus, which base had been in emergency for a long time, and so on.
Each of them insisted on his own opinion and refused to give in to the other.
Then someone finally suggested that they ask the First Alliance for another batch so that there would be some left over for each base.
This proposal was unanimously approved by everyone.
But here comes the problem...
"Last time they said there wasn't enough medicine and many people didn't get any. Will they give us more?"
"Don't worry, I've made inquiries. Deputy Base Commander Sheng has returned with some potions. He's distributed them to all those useless people."
Everyone knows that the medicine is managed by Sheng Fei, so Sheng Fei's whereabouts are widely watched.
Hearing this news, everyone felt a little relieved.
It would be nice to have medicine.
But there was still a small problem. "But we still owe a lot of crystal cores from last time. Now all the ones we have are used to refine the enhancement agent. How can we make up for it?"
An experienced person gave him a look of disdain, "You can tell you're inexperienced. You must be buying on credit first. We'll talk later when we have extra crystal cores!"
