  "What's the plan?"

  Li Dong's eyes were deep and calm, he said slowly: "The food we have on us now can last for two or three days, if the food in that supermarket is still there, let's bring it with us, at least we can eat for ten to twenty days... With ten to twenty days of time, maybe we can find a way out, right? At least... it's better than following those people and eating monster corpses, tree bark, and wild grass."

  He said as he clenched his fists tightly with both hands.

  After Li Dong finished speaking, everyone fell into a silence that was so deep it was frightening, a silence in which everyone could hear the sound of their own heartbeat.

  At this moment, everyone fell into a choice: whether to return to school and share the joys and sorrows with more than a thousand people, or abandon them and choose another path with more hope.

  Many people had cold sweat in their palms, a seemingly simple choice, yet it made them feel the double torment of moral conscience and realistic survival.

  Li Dong saw that everyone was silent, and he couldn't help but say in a low voice: "How do you all really see this?" His voice was almost hoarse as he called out, his palms were also sweating. Seeing the crowd's silence, he shouted somewhat frantically: "Are you all really so great? Can't bear to give them up? When we ourselves are not even sure if we can survive, do we still have the ability to think about others?"

  Li Dong was anxious, he was afraid that these people would really choose to return to school and act with the more than a thousand people, if only he were alone, no matter how big his courage was, he wouldn't dare to take the road alone, so he had to persuade them, let everyone be like him, take away food, and don't care about the life or death of the more than a thousand people in school.

  After a while, Zhou Huakang wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and said in a somewhat hoarse voice: "My thoughts are the same as Li Dong's. Although... although it's very unfair to them, I really don't dare to imagine... over a thousand people... without food or drink... not eating is one thing, we can fill our stomachs with leaves and wild grass, but what about drinking? And with so many people acting together... I'm afraid... I'm afraid it will attract some terrible monsters. The consequences are unthinkable." Looking at the river in front of him, although there was water in it, the consumption of supplies needed for over a thousand people was truly astonishing. Just thinking about it made Zhou Huakang's scalp feel numb with fear.

  Li Dong saw that someone finally agreed with his point of view, and he secretly let out a sigh of relief. Then, he looked at Su Yu and Qin Jiagui again, but they were still deep in thought, seemingly still undecided.

  Zhao Shichang suddenly stood up, his voice becoming very calm, and said lightly: "Just now I thought a lot... Later, I understood a truth. Whether it's us or those people in the school, everyone came to this forest at the same time, everyone is on the same starting line. The only one who can decide their own future is themselves. We won't harm them, but we also don't have the ability to help them. I think we can tell them about our experiences over the past two days and some of what we've learned. I hope everyone can survive... But I don't have the ability to save that many people, so sorry. My choice is the same as Li Dong's, and... I don't think this represents our selfishness. In the face of life, everyone is equal. Why should I belittle my own life? Why should I put myself in a disadvantageous situation or even starve to death because of those people? I'm not a saint, I can't do that."

  After he finished speaking, he sat down again.

  "Good fellow," Zhang Zhongmou muttered, "thought he was giving an inaugural speech, quite a momentum indeed."

  Su Yu looked up and glanced at Zhao Shichang, suddenly saying: "Yes, we are all ordinary people, we all know how to take care of ourselves, so... maybe there's nothing wrong with that. I'm also very selfish, I can't do the same for everyone... but some people, some things, some principles must be insisted upon, even if it means sacrificing one's own life."

  Zhao Shichang was taken aback and said: "Su Yu, what does this mean? Are you going to abandon us? Are you going to go with those over a thousand people?"

  Su Yu shook her head and said in a low voice, "I've said it before, I can't be equally fair and caring to everyone, it's not possible. But there are some people in school that I just can't give up on, even if it means losing my life, I have to go protect them, do you understand?"

  Zhao Shichang was slightly stunned, Qin Jiagui clenched his fists and waved them to emphasize his words, saying: "Right, I'm the same as Su Yu, there's another person in school that I want to protect, no matter what, I won't abandon her."

  Zhou Bierong suddenly interjected, "If that's the case, why not take the person you cherish with you and leave together? Wouldn't that resolve the current conflict?"

  Qin Jiagui's whole body shook, and Li Dong hurriedly said: "Right, Qin Jiagui, you're talking about your girlfriend, right? Then bring her together, our team can have one or two more people, it doesn't matter. Su Ye, who is it that you can't bear to part with again? Won't it be those classmates from the same class?"

  Qin Jiagu's eyes lit up when he heard this, and indeed it was a good idea. Thinking about living with over a thousand people, possibly eating tree bark or even the corpses of those strange creatures, made him shudder. How could he bear to let his girlfriend live such a life?

  Su Yu was someone Su Ye couldn't bear to part with.

  Everyone originally felt guilty about giving up on the over a thousand people and didn't dare to face it, but after they really made up their minds, they actually relaxed instead. Then everyone carefully planned and finally decided that except for Zhou Bichen and Ding Shan, the other ten people each had the right to choose one person to take away from school. Of course, this right could also be given up by oneself.

  Su Yu naturally chose Su Yu, Qin Jia Gui chose his girlfriend Yuan Ni Ping, the other men also started thinking about who to bring along, of course there were also plans to give up, as for every additional person in the team, they would have to share a portion of food.

  Of course, this premise is that the food in the supermarket is still there. Otherwise, everything would be meaningless.

  "Ahhh——" Suddenly, a terrifying howl came from afar, followed by another sharp and shrill cry.

  Everyone heard it in their ears, but they all changed color slightly, because the roar and sharp whistle were relatively close, seemingly about a few hundred meters away. Then, hundreds of meters away in the forest, there was a loud "crack" explosion, as if two huge monsters were fighting fiercely.

  "Be careful, everyone." Qin Jiagui said in a low voice as he got up.

  Everyone who heard the sound turned pale, these were two absolutely terrifying monsters.
