The complaints of those unsuspecting survivors.
Those survivors who already knew about this simply shrugged.
I didn't argue with these people.
After all, the later others find out about this kind of thing, the better.
Only then can they buy food at a lower price in the mall that others consider worthless.
Looking at the chaotic crowd, Zhao Jingguo raised his voice and continued, "Do you know what it means if there's no food?"
"This means that those who are powerful will ruthlessly plunder the weak..."
"You have no weapons, while others do. How confident are you that you can hold onto your resources?"
Upon hearing Zhao Jingguo's words, the previously agitated crowd fell into a deathly silence.
Almost everyone who has survived to this day has experienced something similar.
Especially in the early stages of their struggle for survival, robbery was commonplace.
Even now, such things still happen from time to time.
However, the survivors have become much more restrained these days.
If there is no food left.
Such things will only escalate.
It was even more intense than at the beginning.
"Our safety team was founded with the same purpose in mind, and we will never force anyone to join us. If you are willing to follow us, you can stay; if you are not, you can choose to leave now."
Zhao Jingguo's gaze slowly swept across each person's face as he spoke calmly.
"Our Aikun racing team is the same!"
Cai Xiaokun, who hadn't spoken for a long time, chimed in at this moment.
After all, among the remaining forty-odd people...
There were also some of the team members who had previously followed him.
⁀⊙﹏☉⁀
A group of survivors stood still, unsure whether to move or stay.
After leaving the convoy, he found himself alone in the vast wasteland, completely devoid of any power he could rely on.
If they encounter danger, they are very likely to face the threat of death.
However, if they don't leave the convoy, they will need to return to the resource area tomorrow.
It's unclear whether those Soul-Eating Beasts and Spine Gu will remain there, waiting to ambush them.
"I'm willing to stay!"
After weighing the pros and cons.
The first person to speak up stood behind Zhao Jingguo.
This person was originally a member of the security team.
They have a stronger sense of belonging to the safe caravan than other survivors.
"I...I also choose to stay!"
The only girl in the crowd also stepped forward.
She raised her hand shakily, then silently walked to Cai Xiaokun's side.
"Damn it, being good-looking is a sure way to attract women..."
Zhao Jingguo was very displeased when he saw the woman standing next to Cai Xiaokun.
Although the woman wasn't particularly outstanding in appearance.
But at least she's a woman.
"I want to stay too!"
"I'm not leaving either!"
"I want to follow the captain too!"
"..."
They may have been driven by a desire to survive, by trust in the team, or simply by being influenced by others.
With someone taking the lead, more and more people stood behind Zhao Jingguo and Cai Xiaokun.
"I'm sorry, Captain, I choose to leave!"
Among the group of people who remained standing still, one of them suddenly spoke up.
His voice wasn't loud, but it sounded exceptionally clear in the quiet environment.
"I don't have any grand ambitions, I just want to eke out a living!"
