Chapter 51 Qiao Dong's Reason for Persuasion
Inside the room, the small team ate and drank their fill, packed up their things, and went out. They were met with Dong Dali's flattering smile and his eyes that kept gazing into the room, his nose twitching.
The friends knew that they were "exposed", but they had Lan Shiruo and had no shortage of food and clothing, so they really couldn't understand Dong Dali's embarrassing reaction.
The general walked over with elegant steps, raised his eyes, and looked directly at Dong Dali with his purple eyes. A good dog does not block the road.
Dong Dali stared at the general in a daze, unable to tell what kind of creature he was.
As expected, the general felt that the battle suit was a burden, and his majestic red hair was more domineering.
Look, now humans dare to look at it so unscrupulously. Do they really think mastiffs have good tempers?
"Woo~~" Cen showed his claws and swept horizontally, breaking the door panel into two pieces.
Dong Dali came back to his senses instantly, swallowing his saliva and laughing dryly, "Hehe, good morning everyone, I'm here to apologize for what happened last night. I was really scared last night, so that's why I acted like that. I hope you adults will forgive me for my mistakes."
The friends raised their eyebrows. When they knocked on the door just now, they were not so sincere. It was only a few minutes. Were they stimulated?
Yunshui Yao's eyes flickered, "Why are you so polite, little brother?"
Little brother? My friends were almost vomiting. A man with a pointed face and a fawning expression really didn’t deserve these words.
Dong Dali felt relieved after being called that. He chuckled, "Of course I want you to stay."
"Oh? Why?"
"You have quite a few good things."
"Heh," Yunshui Yao changed his tone. Dong Dali was in a daze for a moment, wondering what he had just experienced.
"Good morning, have you eaten yet?"
The friend said sarcastically, "Get out of the way."
Dong Dali said with a playful smile, "Where are you girls from? Don't you have any other companions? Where are you going? We saw it last night. It's more dangerous out there than before. You have to be careful."
Miaomiao swung the iron ball past the tip of Dong Dali's nose and said, "You have to be careful. People's hearts are not as they used to be."
Dong Dali continued to smile playfully, automatically shutting out all the sarcasm. "You all came in late last night and didn't get much rest. How about a little rest? Our Brother Qiao wants to apologize to you for what happened last night, but he's temporarily busy. Do you think you can rest a little longer? Our Brother Qiao is a kind, generous, capable, and kind person. Many people in our team are still alive thanks to his care. If you don't give him a chance to apologize, he'll be unable to sleep or eat."
Lan Shiruo felt that this person was a talent, with a thick skin and a strong heart. If there really was such a person in the apocalypse, he would not survive more than one episode.
If I were so kind, I wouldn't have had to climb the wall last night.
"Get out of the way. My general has a bad temper. Especially today, he was woken up by someone. He was very irritable when he got up. If he gets hurt or disabled, he can only blame himself for his bad luck."
Dong Dali glanced at the broken door panel swaying in the cold wind and thought the general must be some kind of mutant, otherwise he couldn't be so powerful. "Don't be impulsive, don't be impulsive. Let's talk it out. We can say that we didn't know each other until we fought, right? We're still taking refuge together, so we can be considered to have a relationship that has shared hardships. Wouldn't it be better for us to sit down together and have a good chat? It's cold outside, and Brother Qiao should be almost done with his work. I'll take you to his room to sit down."
The saying "Don't hit someone who smiles at you" obviously doesn't apply to Lan Shiruo and her group, but there are dozens of people standing by and watching them covetously, so it's really not easy to take action. They are all reasonable people.
The friends looked at each other, and Lan Shiruo called out to the general, "Let's go."
The general and the minister understood each other, and used their huge bodies to push Dong Dali away, and left with their friends.
The people standing in front watching the excitement were a little hesitant. Should they move aside?
I couldn't see clearly last night because it was dark, but now I see that the six women are good-looking, well-dressed, and well-equipped. Even the two strange creatures are well-equipped. They are really enviable. They are fat sheep that I can't bear to let go.
His eyes gradually turned green as he approached the small team.
The generals and ministers issued warnings with "woohoo" sounds, but it seemed to have no effect.
It seemed that they had to resort to violence. The friends clenched their weapons tightly, their faces grim.
"Get out of the way."
The man's voice calmed the restless crowd.
Dong Dali turned over and got up, leaning towards the man like a lackey, "Brother Qiao, they don't plan to stay, let's..."
Qiao Dong glanced at him coldly, and Dong Dali became obedient.
The friends focused their attention on the so-called Brother Qiao. This man was really ordinary. He had no aura, no charm on his face, and nothing special in his gestures. However, he could become the leader, which was really puzzling.
Qiao Dong seemed accustomed to this kind of scrutiny and understanding. His expression was indifferent. "It can be seen that you are capable. Qiao did not think I did anything wrong last night. I think most people would do the same. You are all promising people, so you should understand."
Lan Shiruo looked back calmly, "I understand."
Qiao Dong curled his lips. "You guys haven't suffered much hardship in getting to this point. With all due respect, aside from your own abilities, the reason you've gotten this far is mostly because the early corpses weren't very powerful, and most of the mutants didn't have strong attack power. Admittedly, there's a lot of luck involved."
The little friend didn't say anything and waited calmly for Qiao Dong to continue.
Qiao Dong looked around. "Of course, I'm not denying your abilities. You wouldn't have survived until now just by luck. What I'm saying is that the zombies have undergone a second mutation. You experienced firsthand last night how powerful they are. It's hard to survive alone or in a small group. Why not find a team of equal strength to work with? Why not find a team of equal strength? You all know why. Finding someone weaker than you would be a burden. Finding someone stronger would make you a burden, or you would be subordinated, without freedom and restrictions. Having equal strength can strengthen the team and save you from having to rely on others."
My friends agreed with this statement. Under the current circumstances, we really need to find partners with comparable strength.
Qiao Dong continued, "You've all seen what I'm like. I don't have any special abilities, but I do have one strength: self-awareness. Even though we have more people on our team than you, we won't have the upper hand if we really go head-to-head. But that doesn't mean I'm a liability. Strength in numbers is a saying, so, all in all, our two teams are about the same strength. Since we met last night, why not team up and look after each other? In this world, being a woman has it harder than being a man. Some people's true natures are undoubtedly exposed in such a world. But it's different when a woman has a man by her side. Even if the man is incompetent, he can still be helpful."
Lan Shiruo smiled faintly, "I have to say, what you said makes a lot of sense. If it were someone else, they might consider it, but let's forget it. We haven't survived until now by any luck. This is one reason. Secondly, we have men and a team. Can you please move aside?"
