Upon hearing these words, Qin Jiagui cast an angry look their way, only to see a rather thin man, named Li Dong, he remembered who was a second-year university student.
Li Dong’s words silenced the crowd, setting their minds to ponder.
Regardless of the group of them or the thousand plus people remaining in the school, they were all less than two days’ worth of food left.
Currently, they still had a day and a half’s time left, but what if they found nothing within this day and a half?
Should they return empty-handed?
Perhaps another better solution would be for all of them, loaded with the scanty food, to disregard the existence of the thousand remaining people altogether and at least live on for another ten days, searching for a way out.
The implications in Li Dong’s words were perceived solemnly by everyone there.
Qin Jiagui retorted angrily, “Li Dong, what do you mean by that?
Have you forgotten that we still have more than a thousand people in the school who are relying on us?”
Li Dong grew timid under the rage of Qin Jiagui.
Zhou Huakang who was standing next to him said, “Li Dong is not wrong in this situation.
It is clear to everyone that if we find a way out or a rescue team within the next day, good and well.
However, what if we find nothing?
Just like this morning, if all we encounter are the monsters, what should we do then?
Go back?
What good can going back do?
Shall we all starve and wait for death together?”
Qin Jiagui glared at him at first, his anger slowly fading away as he listened.
Zhou Huakang, noticing everyone’s silence, spoke more loudly and solemnly.
“I think, if we end up in that kind of situation, we should just take these supplies and leave.
The thousand-plus people in the school…we are not saying we don’t want to save them, but let’s think clearly.
On what grounds can we save others?
We can’t even secure our own lives, let alone save others while bearing their hopes.
That’s just ridiculous.”
The crowd fell silent upon hearing Zhou Huakang’s words, and after a while, Qin Jiagui asked, “Su Yu, what do you think?”
Along the journey, Su Yu’s performance had won everyone’s respect and, unknowingly, they had begun to regard him as a leader.
Running his fingers through his hair, Su Yu offered a faint smile and answered, “Now?
Isn’t there still time?
Let’s at least wait until tomorrow evening to make a decision.” But his thoughts turned to Su Yun, who was still back at the school.
He could perhaps disregard everyone else’s fate, but he couldn’t simply abandon her at the school, could he?
But for now, he chose to evade the question, after all, they still had a day and a half.
Hearing Su Yu’s words, Qin Jiagui exhaled in relief and responded, “Right, there’s still time.
We should stick with our original plan for now and see how lucky we are.
If we don’t find anything by tomorrow evening, we can then discuss what we’ll do next.
What does everyone think?”
Having filled his backpack with cigarettes, mineral water, and food, Zhang Zhongmou finally zipped it up and remarked, “Of course, that’s just what we should do.
It’s pointless to worry about tomorrow’s problems now.”
Seeing that Su Yu and Qin Jiagui had decided, the others raised no objections.
Ma Ziye asked, “What should we do with the food if we’re to continue exploring?”
Qin Jiagui suggested, “Take as much as you can, and leave the rest here.
It should be fine.
As you all saw, those monsters seemed uninterested in the food.
As long as we remember our way back, we can come back here if we don’t find anything.”
Since there was plenty of food, they couldn’t carry it all at once.
After hearing Qin Jiagui’s words, they all nodded in agreement, then began stuffing their backpacks with as much food as they could.
Ma Ziye tore open a packet of instant noodles and started munching on them.
Peeking into her bag, Zhang Zhongmou exclaimed, “Wow, all you have apart from water is instant noodles, pretty lady?
You love instant noodles that much?” His face was full of incredulity.
Ma Ziye snorted in response, “I don’t want to talk to someone who can’t appreciate the deliciousness of instant noodles,” and continued to savor her noodles.
But Su Yu found boxes of chocolate and suggested, “Everyone should take more chocolate, it’s high in calories and will be very useful.”
Qin Jiagui nodded, took a box for himself, and seeing everyone stuffing their bags, a full bag of food could last them four or five days if they were particularly sparing.
Looking at the piles of food left in the supermarket, these supplies could last for quite some time for just their small group, but the thought of the over a thousand people at the school made any amount of food seem inadequate.
“Qin Jiagui, are you feeling confident about this?
From what I can see, we’d be better off taking all this food with us.
What if the monsters destroy it after we leave?” Zhou Huakang, having filled his backpack, looked at the remaining food and suggested.
He had spotted large bags specially prepared by the supermarket on the other side: if they put some effort into it, they might be able to carry everything.
Qin Jiagui frowned and replied, “If we take all this food…then we can forget about making haste.
Zhou Huakang, think about it.
If the monsters wanted to destroy the food, they would have done it already.
Why would they wait until now?
You should remember that about a dozen Goblin Beasts had been wandering around this area before we arrived.”
Listening to Qin Jiagui, Zhou Huakang reluctantly gazed at the food in front of him.
Suddenly, the shrill cry of a monster echoed from afar, followed by the rustling sound of footsteps growing louder and louder.
Everyone, startled by the noise, raised their heads.
Su Yu was outside the supermarket in a heartbeat, but he quickly retreated and hurriedly ordered everyone else to do the same.
His face was extremely serious.
“What’s going on?” Qin Jiagui hurried to ask.
“Earlier, we let a few of the smaller Goblin Beasts get away.
Now they’ve brought back reinforcements,” Su Yu said, a strange expression on his face.
Around one hundred meters outside the supermarket, innumerable green figures could be seen.
A quick glance revealed around fifty to sixty smaller Goblin Beasts.
Among them, the ones leading the pack bore wounds, likely the ones that had escaped earlier.
“Why are there so many?” Zhang Zhongmou exclaimed, his face changing as he called out.
Everyone else disregarded the food, dropped their backpacks, and prepared for battle.
“Don’t panic.
Although their numbers have increased, we’ve all grown stronger.
Using the terrain to our advantage, we still have a chance,” Qin Jiagui scanned their surroundings, soon hefting a storage rack.
Although half of the supermarket had collapsed, the remaining half of the wall formed a natural fortress.
The Goblin Beasts weren’t strong enough to destroy such a sturdy wall.
Without a word, everyone began to block the exits and toppled several storage racks to form a wall.
Leaving only a two-meter gap in the collapsed part of the wall, they prepared a battleground for the upcoming battle with the Goblin Beasts.
“We’ll divide into groups to man this point, when you get tired, step away and rest. freewebnøvel.coɱ
We’ll take turns holding them back this way.
Their numerical advantage won’t be of much use.
If it comes to a one-on-one fight, we’re much stronger now.
As long as we maintain our formation, we won’t just kill all these monsters, but also grow stronger in the process,” Qin Jiagui said, a confident look on his face.
