"Kill him directly? Isn't this... a bit of a waste..."
Chen Yan spoke hesitantly.
Xu Qinghe was stunned for a moment and asked curiously, "What do you mean?"
Chen Yan coughed dryly. Although he felt that the idea that suddenly emerged in his mind was a bit poisonous, it should not be a big deal in this man-eating wasteland world.
"I mean, don't we just need some suitable supplies? The feline mutant we encountered today, while it meets our needs, is inherently dangerous to capture alive, right? So why not just use the three Blackthorn directors to attract the Quiet Whisperers' attention? That's much safer, and definitely better than having to capture additional suitable mutants, right?"
While Chen Yan was speaking, he kept observing the changes in expressions of the other people in front of him.
If the moral bottom line of the small group is relatively high and they show obvious resistance to this behavior which is equivalent to torture, then he will not say much.
After all, there are some people who believe that even enemies should have their basic human rights protected.
But it turned out that he was overthinking it.
After listening to his advice, Xu Qinghe's eyes lit up noticeably.
The other people in the small group had similar reactions.
Everyone seemed to agree with his suggestion.
"That makes sense! Not to mention the dangers that are bound to come up in the process of capturing suitable mutants, the process of finding them alone is fraught with uncertainty! It could even waste a lot of time! If we just follow the advice of those three directors, we won't have to deal with all this trouble!"
Xu Qinghe looked at Chen Yan with a sharp gaze and continued, "Xiao Chen is really smart. We've been fighting for years. In order to survive, the only thing we can think of when facing all enemies is how to destroy them physically as quickly as possible. But you, Xiao Chen, are not as flexible. It seems that in the future, Xiao Chen, you will have to try your best to come up with suggestions on many things, which can also be regarded as providing us with some new ideas."
Chen Yan asked doubtfully, "Speaking of which, I'm a little confused. Are those three Blackthorn directors being too obedient? Even if our strength is enough to crush them, don't they know that being captured means certain death? They're going to die anyway, so why don't they try to break out? Even if they can't break out, they can at least take one or two people with them to die together. At least they won't die in vain, right?"
Xu Qinghe snorted, disdainfully saying, "How could they possibly possess such courage? Executives at companies like these, even though their awakening levels are among the highest within the company, rarely get the opportunity to carry out frontline missions. Their physical strength may be strong, but their spiritual attributes are often weak."
Of course, this wasn't always the case. The leaders of large and top-tier forces were said to be incredibly formidable. But for a lowly power like the Blackthorn Company, what else could their leaders do besides exploiting ordinary survivors through the company to support them?
They might have once had the courage to fight others, but after so many years of being pampered and supported by Blackthorn, their edges have long been smoothed over. Even after being captured by us, they probably still fantasize that the Blackthorn chairman will notice the problem and come to rescue them.
While the two were talking, there was a crackling sound on the glass of the basement light well.
Fei Changyuan turned his head and glanced, frowning. "It's raining! Looks like we have to put our plan on hold again. Maomao, go get the radiation meter and monitor the radiation concentration outside. If the radiation level exceeds the standard too seriously, even if we've already reached level three, we'll still have to take anti-radiation drugs."
"clear!"
…
…
Qiu Huidong stood in front of the window with a frown on his face, looking at the sudden heavy rain outside, and his mood became extremely bad.
His three most capable directors have been out for seven days.
But after so much time had passed, there was still no news, which made Qiu Huidong feel a little uneasy.
The straight-line distance from the camp to the edge of Qindao's core area is actually not far.
If the three of them were fast walkers, they could easily make several trips back and forth in a day.
Even if it takes time to search for the target, it wouldn't take seven days without coming back, right?
The key point is... the wheat cakes that the three of them brought were only enough for three days in total. Even if they were to save as much as possible, they could only guarantee food for five days at most?
Since they didn't come back after this time, Qiu Huidong couldn't help but wonder if the three of them had encountered some accident.
He hadn't considered that the accident might have occurred because the target of the investigation was too powerful and directly took down his three directors, which was mainly unreasonable.
There are only so many survivors living around the core area of Qin Island. After supporting an entire Black Thorn Company, how could there be enough people to support a force larger than Black Thorn?
Although the previous roar was very weak when it reached the Blackthorn Camp, Qiu Huidong was a fourth-level awakener after all, so he actually heard it.
Although the impact on the Blackthorn Camp was minimal, Qiu Huidong could probably understand the effect that roar would have.
Therefore, Qiu Huidong wondered whether his three directors had encountered an accident related to the roar?
As the impact of the roar gradually disappeared, Qiu Huidong waited for half a day but still did not see his three directors come back, so he wanted to go and check what happened in person.
Unexpectedly, just as he finished briefing his subordinates on the company's affairs and was about to leave, a rainstorm suddenly arrived...
Under normal circumstances, the awakened ones can withstand the radiation and pollution brought by the black rain.
However, some abnormal situations may occasionally occur, which may cause the awakened to suffer from excessive pollution after being exposed to the black rain for a long time.
For safety reasons, when it rains, the best option is to stay in a place that is sheltered from the wind and rain. Don't try to challenge the power of nature by hoping for luck.
"This rain is falling so fast... Although we've ordered all the survivors in the camp to reinforce their respective huts these days, with this much rain, the huts are almost certain to leak. I wonder how many people in the camp will die after this heavy rain..."
While Qiu Huidong was muttering to himself, he rubbed his temples with a headache.
If too many people die, the size of Blackthorn Company will have to be reduced accordingly.
Otherwise you will only fall into a vicious cycle!
Being the chairman...is not an easy job.
