What constitutes stability?
Sun Muchen was also somewhat confused.
At first, she thought that this Hope Village was stable enough, but as time went by, she felt that the stability of this Hope Village only existed on the surface, and in fact, there were undercurrents.
So what exactly constitutes stability?
Sun Muchen thought of what he had read in a book about what happened before the anomaly.
Everyone lives a prosperous life, and the people live in peace and contentment.
The leadership always has the people in mind, cares about the people, and thinks about the people's well-being.
Perhaps that is true security.
The current stability is always fraught with too many unstable factors.
It may have come from human hands, or it may have come from a monster.
What we call "peace and security" can sometimes be described as dying peacefully.
After all, once you're dead, you won't have to face anything anymore.
But if one can live, who would want to die?
After hearing Wang Lan finish speaking, Ding Taishun immediately replied, "No, I don't want to die!"
Upon hearing this, Wang Lan glanced at Ding Taishun indifferently, then looked at the others.
After Wang Lan finished speaking and told them to die peacefully, the others saw the image of Wang Lan's one-sided battle with the giant wolf in their minds, and a strange feeling arose in their hearts.
It would be better to die in the jaws of a giant wolf than to die in the way Wang Lan did after "doing his best."
So they all said, "No, we must live!"
"Yes, we must live for ourselves!"
We will overcome the difficulties!
Wang Lan snorted coldly and said, "Then put away your useless cowardice!"
The moment the words left his mouth, the others swallowed hard and dared not utter a sound.
"I won't let anyone drag me down. Believe me, you are, in fact, a burden to me," Wang Lan's voice suddenly turned icy cold again. He said, "Our current situation is already extremely dangerous. I've encountered similar situations before, even more difficult than ours. This requires us to be extra careful. I don't want anyone to implicate others. If you show any signs of fear or cowardice that I despise, believe me, I will be the first to kill you!"
"hiss--"
Upon hearing this, the group gasped in shock.
Wang Lan glanced at everyone, then went to rest alone on the side.
The six people left behind in Hope Village looked at each other in bewilderment.
"Did we make a mistake by coming out this time?"
Someone was speaking in a low voice.
"I think Mr. Wang is right!"
Gu Li clenched her fist and said, "Compared to Mr. Wang and Teacher Sun, aren't we just like domesticated animals? That's why we performed so poorly! We only know how to rely on the Holy City, but we never know how to rely on our own strength!"
"right!"
Lu Renjia also said, "This should be a good opportunity. With the help of someone as powerful as Wang Lan and the protection of the Holy City, this should be a great opportunity for us to train ourselves. I believe that if we survive this time, we will be reborn!"
“Yes, yes, yes!” He Xiuhua said, “Mr. Wang’s words may be rough, but they make a lot of sense. We should cheer up and be like Mr. Wang and Teacher Sun. I believe that we can also become as strong as them!”
"right!"
"right!"
The group looked at each other, then nodded emphatically, as if they had made some kind of decision, and clenched their fists.
Wang Lan, who was leaning against a rock, squinted at the group.
Hearing their grand pronouncements, Wang Lan's lips curled into a smile.
The day ended quickly.
Night deepened, and darkness fell.
The white-armored soldiers who went out to scout have not yet returned. However, the monitoring system on their armor shows that the soldiers' vital signs are normal and they are still carrying out reconnaissance missions in the distance, but their pace is exceptionally slow.
Throughout the day, many animals also smelled the meaty scent emanating from Wang Lan and his companions. However, after rushing to the location, they all behaved like a pack of wolves, daring not to approach and ultimately returning empty-handed.
The group of people who saw this were puzzled, but at the same time relieved.
As Wang Lan said, their current position is neither good nor bad.
Undoubtedly, they have found themselves in a dilemma.
But it is undeniable that this is also the safest place.
So they felt safe and bold enough to light a fire and gather around it.
The holy envoy did not come over, but was with the white-armored soldiers, discussing something, while the others seemed to be enjoying it.
After figuring out what Wang Lan had said, these people's mindset underwent a subtle change. They no longer wanted to rely on the protection of the Holy City, nor did they place their hopes on others. Instead, they wanted to become strong enough to face any difficulties with ease.
Ding Taishun looked at Wang Lan's face, which was flickering in the firelight.
That somewhat childish face, upon closer inspection, also carried a hint of vicissitude and resilience.
Those eyes were fixed on the firelight in front of them, but no one knew what they were thinking.
The others remained silent as well.
After a long silence, Ding Taishun finally spoke, "Mr. Wang."
Wang Lan raised her head slightly and glanced at Ding Taishun.
Ding Taishun lowered his head slightly, but then raised it again, looking directly at Wang Lan and saying, "How can we become as strong as you?"
