Chapter 298 The Road Never Envisioned

As expected, Ye Zhou's location is an isolated island. He is just at the top of the column on the next floor. The collapsed ground separates him from other people by more than ten meters, and the other party cannot use any effective means. Get close to him quickly.

The guards threatened him as soon as he discovered this situation, but Ye Zhou's condition was also very simple:
If he is alive, the food can be provided to the few big fish that are still alive who are about to come out of the next level of ruins, but if he dies, the pile of food will fall into the cave behind him that no one can quickly reach In the ruins of the ruins, the various chemical liquids accumulated in the ruins will poison these foods.

No one dared to act rashly, especially after Ye Zhou demonstrated by throwing down a small portion of food.

Half of the food cart was suspended in the air, and Ye Zhou was sitting in front of the cart. If he was shot, the impact would also push the food into the abyss.

Relying on this arrangement, Ye Zhou easily survived until the next day, and also saw those big fish in suits and leather shoes.

The face of the other party was a bit unkind. They couldn't figure out how Ye Zhou could predict the air strike that they didn't even get any warning in advance, and they couldn't figure out when this lunatic who should have completely lost his mind under the ravages of drugs would return to normal.

However, all this is not important anymore.

The response from the communicator was cut off at noon the next day. The air raiders had already entered the ground complex and were about to break through downwards, but the collapse caused by the air raid blocked all passages. Survive the time that comes down.

This is a tacit game of mutual understanding.

The air raiders don't want to encounter resistance in the next operation, so they will slow down as much as possible, and the big fish trapped inside don't want to be caught, so they are also delaying time as much as possible , hoping to drive the air raiders away through other forces.

As a result, survival in this closed, food-poor underground space has become a luxury.

The first battle over food began the day after the air raid.

Except in Ye Zhou's hands, there is still a small amount of food on the base's treatment center floor. These foods are scattered in various wards, becoming the last hope of survival for those hoarding them.

But this hope was quickly dashed, because the guards had anticipated this situation.

Carrying weapons, they inspected the wards one by one and took away all the food they could find. Although they said the high-sounding words of "unified management", everyone knew that it was impossible for the food taken away to return to their own hands inside.

A total of 27 people were killed in this search, and the food that was confiscated was actually only enough for the big fish to last for 6 days.

On the third day of the air raid, the second battle began.

The reason for this fight is very simple, it is because of hunger.

The surviving ordinary people realized their fate, and in desperation, they began to gather to attack Big Fish's stronghold. Because of the superior numbers, they even pushed Big Fish back and grabbed some food.

However, the consequences of the lack of organization soon appeared. After achieving the first stage of results, instead of relying on their advantages and continuing to move forward, they stayed where they were and began to eagerly share food.

In this process, infighting inevitably occurred.

It didn't even need the big fish to intervene, their own struggle directly caused the already loose alliance to collapse.

Big Fish's counterattack came soon, and the remaining 200 civilian troops dropped sharply to less than 150 after this conflict.

And none of the 150 people got food.

Ye Zhou watched all this silently. He is now the object of hatred from everyone in the treatment center, but he remains unmoved in the slightest.

There is only one goal, that is, to survive.

Therefore, he had to wait for the opportunity, wait until the big fish's food was consumed to the dangerous line, and let them initiate negotiations with him.

That day will come soon.

On the fifth day after the air raid, Big Fish's representatives reached an agreement with Ye Zhou. Ye Zhou would provide enough food for them to survive every day, on the condition that they must ensure their own safety.

The two sides quickly reached an agreement. After Ye Zhou provided food as promised, the other party even sent two guards to protect Ye Zhou's isolated island from other civilians.

However, their worries are obviously unnecessary, because it is impossible for civilians who have been hungry for five days to pick up stones anymore.

It was on this day that the first civilian who died of starvation appeared.

Even though Ye Zhou had seen this scene 6 times, it still had a huge impact on him.

A living person just died quietly on the ground, and the passers-by groped numbly at his body, as if holding on to the last sliver of luck, trying to find some food from his body.

But such a fluke is also ridiculous. If he had food, how could he starve to death?

Ye Zhou closed his eyes, he didn't want to read any more.

In the next few days, more and more people will die of hunger and weakness. Before those appalling things happen, these civilians will organize one last resistance, and this time the resistance will still fail due to lack of organization , A small half of the people who survived in the end will live until the upward channel is opened after overcoming the final bottom line.

He couldn't blame these people, because they were just like himself, just to survive.
-
live.

An uncoordinated thought suddenly flashed in Ye Zhou's mind. At this moment, the decision maker's talent suddenly took effect.

He was keenly aware that, it seemed, if he lived in this way, the final outcome would be impossible.

Because the fish is still alive.

As long as the fish is still alive, there must be a transaction, and as long as there is a transaction, it is impossible for him to survive as a witness.

Ye Zhou's heart sank suddenly, and he realized that although the path he chose could allow him to survive to the end, it was impossible for him to really survive to the end!

No wonder every time he was killed at the last moment due to various reasons, he always felt that it was because he was not cautious enough, but in fact the real reason was that as long as the fish was alive, it was inevitable!
He glanced at the people in front of him who were active on the remaining ground of the hall. Those people had eaten up all the landscape plants, and even the soil had been turned up.

If a mouse is caught by chance, it means that there is a good chance that someone will die in the fight for that mouse.

Is there a possibility that I can organize these people myself?
Is there a possibility that the remaining 130 people can actually defeat those big fish?

He holds the most important resources in this small world in his hands. In theory, whichever side he supports, the odds of winning will increase.

And what he has to do is bet.

Now, his choice is actually very clear.

During the day, Ye Zhou still threatened with food, and after the guards left, he had a conversation with the invisible leader among the civilians.

The other party stood on a platform more than ten meters away, with a haggard face, but his eyes revealed a kind of firmness unique to the bear clan in the 70s.

".So, you want to cooperate with us? Why?"

"Because the big fish have to die, or we all wouldn't be alive."

"Then why didn't you choose us in the first place?"

"Because you haven't suffered enough, I can't organize a team that isn't standing on the edge of the abyss of despair—only by pushing you to the edge can you truly take this road to the end firmly."

After saying this, Ye Zhou paused for a moment, then said frankly:

"Of course, this is also a coincidence - because I didn't figure out the logic until yesterday."

The man nodded and replied:

"It doesn't matter, as long as we live, we don't care about the rest."

"That's the best. Do you know what I need you to do?"

"I know very well, but, I don't believe my enemies won't stop you."

"They will, but we still have a window period before they stop me. This window period begins when I start contacting you and ends when my support for you threatens their survival."

"During this window period, I need you to accumulate enough strength. What we want to do must be successful once, and we must persist to the end."

"Even if we backed down halfway, everything we did would come to naught. Do you understand?"

"I see."

The man nodded.

"So, do you understand how these people should be organized?"

Ye Zhou's eyes were fixed on the man, and the latter was silent for a moment, then said:
"I will divide the food evenly, even if there is only one bite per person."

"No, you're totally wrong."

Ye Zhou shook his head and continued:
"You're going to organize a patient assembly, you're going to start an election, and you're going to have people from the patients who can lead."

"You have to disperse these people into teams one by one, and let him take responsibility for the team."

"You have to manage the food in a unified way, and distribute food to each team according to the most real needs based on the information collected by the team leader."

"You have to choose the most resolute and noble person to serve as the picket, and hang any possible squad leaders who use power for personal gain on the ruins over there."

"You have to put your own interests last, and you have to be the hungriest of all."

"You will die before them, but after you die, they will succeed."

"can you do it?"

The man looked at Ye Zhou, and Ye Zhou also looked at him without blinking.

At this moment, they seem to understand each other.

"I will die before everyone else."

The man's tone was low, but firm.

Ye Zhou sighed deeply, and said:
"The food I can provide you can only barely maintain the minimum consumption for three days. These three days are our window period."

"In three days, I want you to do everything I say."

"If I can't finish it, I can only help you do it myself."

"But that will be our last, dying attempt."

"do you understand?"

The man continued to nod.

"I understand."

Ye Zhou remained silent. He threw the food he had prepared behind him one by one to the man, and then watched him go away under the watchful eye of the guards.

For the guards who came to question him, his answer was simple.

"The food for you is not enough, I just want to show kindness."

"You better be. You know, if any of us can't live, then you can die, too."

Ye Zhou didn't answer. Looking at the crowd gradually gathering in the distance, he felt an indescribable touch in his heart.

Those people don't know that they are about to embark on a path that they may never have imagined.
