Some members of the team were astonished by the terrifying strength of the team ahead, but most were delighted.
"Isn't this a good thing? They've all cleaned up, so there's no danger for us!"
However, as soon as the speaker finished speaking, someone asked nervously, "But will they really let us take some of the supplies?"
After the person asking the question finished speaking, there was a few seconds of silence in the line. Soon, an elderly man with a somewhat aged voice suddenly spoke up:
"This factory doesn't belong to them. Whoever gets it first gets it. Besides, even if they don't allow it, are they going to beat us up? We're all living people, not zombies. Do they really have the guts to kill us?"
Then, it seemed that the old man's words convinced the group of people, and they finally put aside their worries and walked into the factory area in a grand manner.
"There are fewer than forty people, two-thirds of whom have superpowers. They are all from small teams that live near us."
Xuanqing squatted down at Su Li's feet and immediately began to sense the situation of the newcomer after Lu Yu's team members finished giving the reminder.
His magical power has been steadily recovering recently. Although the speed is not fast, it is a little bit every day, and it has accumulated to 60%.
In other words, if he wanted to, he could have easily eliminated those people the moment they entered the factory area.
But Su Li probably wouldn't want him to do that; she'd likely prefer to find a solution herself.
After encountering more and more people in this world, Xuanqing discovered that the moral standards of the people in this world were completely inconsistent with the moral standards that ordinary people should have had in the chaotic times he had experienced before!
They don't seem to have yet emerged from the positive mindset that came with peaceful life.
So much so that in such a perilous apocalyptic world, their imagination of the kindness in others is often somewhat presumptuous, assuming it to be positive!
Su Li and Lu Yu are exceptions; they are both people with an extremely selfish mentality!
But at least most of the others in this group are not. Lin Dong and Qi Zhi, to varying degrees, still have some beautiful fantasies about strangers they have just met.
But times have changed. Xuanqing felt that Su Li should give these teammates more opportunities to witness the cruel new world firsthand!
Meanwhile, Su Li and Lu Yu fell into deep thought after hearing Xuan Qing's accurate report.
Someone in the group couldn't help but ask, "What does this mean? What a coincidence that we've come to the same place?"
Bai Feng may look like a cool guy, but he's actually more impatient than anyone else.
Hearing the team member's words, he immediately turned around: "What's so coincidental? It's obvious you came with us, trying to get something for nothing!"
Upon hearing Bai Feng's words, the others all tensed up.
Meanwhile, the group of people being discussed had already appeared on the path leading from the factory area.
Su Li and Lu Yu exchanged a quick glance. Just as Lu Yu was about to walk forward, Su Li suddenly called out to him, "Lu Yu."
Then, as Lu Yu turned to look at him, he quickly said, "Compared to the workshop, let's clear out all the goods from the trucks outside first. There are plenty of zombies in the production workshop; if they want a share, they'll have to put in some effort!"
Upon hearing Su Li's words, Lu Yu immediately understood what she meant.
So he turned to look at the group of people coming over, pondered for only a second, and said to Su Li, "You take a few people to collect the cars, I'll handle this side, hold them off for now."
Su Li had no objections, so she pointed to a few people: Qi Zhi, Huang Keke, and Fang Chen from her side, Bai Feng and three other boys from Lin Dong's side, plus Xuan Qing. If they moved quietly and didn't disturb the zombies in the workshop, they should be fine.
A small group of people left quickly.
What the group didn't notice was that as they turned to leave, the uninvited guests immediately started walking hurriedly.
"Regardless of how much is in the truck or whether there are any supplies, let's collect everything from the truck first and distribute it when we get back. We need to finish collecting as soon as possible and get back to help them!"
Su Li led a group of people as they ran, speaking rapidly.
This was mainly said to Bai Feng, because collecting supplies still depended on the two of them.
A small team quickly disappeared around the other corner of the storage workshop.
Meanwhile, Lu Yu had already stopped the large group of people, each of them looking at the others with suspicion and wariness.
In the crowd opposite, a man who looked to be in his forties, seemingly a leader, stood at the front and was speaking to Lu Yu:
"Young man, don't get agitated. We mean no harm; we just came out to look for supplies. We didn't expect there to be people here already!"
As he spoke, he quickly glanced expectantly at the workshop next door, then looked at Lu Yu:
"Look, the world is so tough these days, but we're all compatriots after all. We've managed to survive with great difficulty, so we have to work together to stay alive, right?"
The man's words were not without reason, and he didn't speak with the same righteous confidence as some of the survivors Lu Yu had encountered before who wanted to take advantage of him!
However, Lu Yu's face remained expressionless.
"To freeload" is still to freeload. No matter how nicely it's phrased, it still means wanting a share of the pie without putting in any effort.
"We don't need cooperation."
He looked at the man who had spoken and opened his mouth indifferently.
The next second after the other person's expression changed, he continued, "However, if you want the remaining supplies here, the workshop is right there, you can go and get them yourselves."
The man opposite him did not brighten up despite Lu Yu's seemingly handing over of supplies.
He glanced at the storage workshop next door again, but his words carried a hint of toughness: "Young man, to be honest, I'm a long-time employee of this factory, and I know very well how much material is in here."
"It's a bit unfair of you to take all the supplies from both storage workshops for yourselves, isn't it?"
Hearing this, Lin Dong finally couldn't hold back any longer.
He strode to Lu Yu's side, his sharp gaze sweeping over the crowd opposite him: "What, so you want to rob me?"
"You didn't lift a finger, yet you demand a lot of things. Your skin is thicker than the Great Wall!"
His brows were furrowed. After so many days, he had long since given up hope that the government would intervene and society would return to its pre-apocalyptic state as soon as possible.
It has an even greater impact on people's hearts.
The person opposite him flinched for a moment when they saw Lin Dong's tall and muscular physique, but quickly, as if realizing something, their expression turned mysterious again:
"Thick-skinned? It's the apocalypse, what does shame matter? We're all the same, we just want to survive, I'll be frank!"
The man suddenly raised his hand, and a ball of lightning quickly appeared in his palm:
"This is no longer the time to win by physical strength or energy. No matter how strong you are, there are only so many of you. Even if you are all superhumans, you still outnumber us!"
“There are plenty of supplies here. Why don’t you take out the supplies from the storage workshop, and we can divide them up? Wouldn’t that be a win-win situation? We’re not greedy. You can have seven and we can have three. We’ll get the supplies from the production workshop ourselves… Or are you just too proud to admit it and insist on fighting us in such a dangerous place, resulting in mutual destruction?”
