The new era of mankind with destiny in hand at the end of the world

Chapter 234: It's nothing more than the survival of the fittest

After speculating that Zhang Ren had most likely successfully rescued the people, An Ning and Xuanyuan Zunqi took Anzai and Xiaohua and carefully sneaked into the village's collective canteen.

This so-called collective canteen is not as neat and orderly as the large canteens specially built in schools.

It was originally the residence of a relatively wealthy family in the village. In addition to the necessary bathroom and kitchen, it also has five extremely spacious rooms.

However, when a room is said to be big, it is only big in terms of housing. If only one room is used to accommodate the entire village's surviving population, it is far from enough.

Therefore, whenever the villagers came to eat, they had to disperse and sit down in several houses to eat.

At this moment, the village chief, his son, and several other people with special powers were sitting in the main house enjoying delicious food.

The remaining ordinary villagers found suitable seats in the other four rooms and settled down.

An Ning and Xuanyuan Zunqi watched all this in secret and quickly made a judgment: in order to successfully complete the mission, they must first eliminate those psychics from within the village!

After all, the psychics are the main fighting force in the village. These guys are very powerful and should not be underestimated. If they are not dealt with in advance, subsequent actions may encounter some troubles.

As for the ordinary people in the other four rooms, it would only take An Ning and her friends a moment to deal with them.

Thinking of this, the two looked at each other and had already made up their minds...

An Ning and Xuanyuan Zunqi were like two vigilant cats, tiptoeing slowly and quietly towards the main house. Every step they took was extremely cautious, for fear of making any sound that would alert the people inside.

Finally arriving at the window, the two held their breath and carefully looked inside through the half-open window.

Inside the house, the village chief, his son, and several other people with special powers were sitting around a round wooden table.

There was simple food on the table, but everyone's face revealed a sense of satisfaction.

While they were eating heartily, they were talking in low voices, as if they were discussing something important.

An Ning and Xuanyuan Zunqi exchanged glances and understood each other - don't alert the enemy yet, just listen to what these people are talking about.

So they stood quietly outside the window, listening to the movements in the house.

At this time, the village chief was heard asking, "Are you all satisfied with today's food distribution?" His voice was low and gentle, with a bit of concern.

One of the psychics put down the bowl and chopsticks in his hand and responded: "Of course I am satisfied, but... the food is getting less and less, shouldn't we think of a countermeasure as soon as possible?" As he spoke, his brows were tightly furrowed, revealing deep worry.

Another psychic immediately echoed, "Yes, the outside world is becoming more and more dangerous and unpredictable, and the number of outsiders coming to our village for refuge is becoming increasingly rare. If we rely solely on others to send us material support, it may not be a long-term solution!" He shook his head worriedly, as if he was full of confusion and anxiety about the future.

Upon hearing this, the village chief couldn't help but sigh heavily: "I have thought about such issues before, but the zombies are rampant outside, and going out to find supplies is a dangerous task." His words were full of helplessness.

At this moment, the village chief's tall and resolute eldest son suddenly interrupted: "In my opinion, it is better to expel those people who have no special abilities and leave their life and death to fate. In this way, we can save some precious food resources." As he spoke, his voice unconsciously lowered, as if he deliberately avoided the eyes and ears of other people in the next room.

When the village chief heard this, he just glanced at his son indifferently and did not refute it.

However, deep in his heart, he thought to himself: This kid is too kind and soft-hearted after all! If we really want to abandon them, we should make full use of their surplus value and turn them into our reserve rations. Unfortunately, we have not reached such a desperate situation yet. These people still have something to do for the time being, and we still need to rely on their strength to complete various tasks.

"..."

At this moment, except for the village chief and his son, the several people with supernatural powers in the field were all alone, without any relatives or friends by their side.

They are now like lonely travelers, wandering in this world.

When these psychics heard what the village chief's eldest son said, they did not show even the slightest dissatisfaction.

On the contrary, everyone's heart felt like a string was gently plucked, causing ripples.

Especially the two people sitting next to the village chief, they began to whisper to each other in low voices.

They were not originally from the village, but joined the village later. One of them was a water-type mutant, and the other was a strength-type mutant like the village chief's eldest son. They had no feelings for the people in the village.

The thoughts of the people in the house did not stir any ripples in the hearts of An Ning and Xuanyuan Zunqi who were standing outside.

Faced with the so-called "plan" discussed by the people inside, the two seemed unusually calm, not even revealing the slightest surprise.

After all, in this place, the moral and ethical bottom line in people's hearts has disappeared.

They no longer regard their compatriots as fellow human beings with flesh and blood, emotions and moral integrity, but rather as "two-legged sheep" that can satisfy their appetites.

This outrageous idea has been deeply rooted in their minds and has gradually evolved into a common way of life.

Such extremely cruel and inhumane behavior has become the norm here.

In such a distorted world, who would care about those ordinary humans who have always been by their side?

To these cold-blooded people, life becomes extremely cheap, as if it can be abandoned or sacrificed at any time.

What's even more tragic is that those who are about to be abandoned have nothing worthy of sympathy or pity.

In this environment where the strong prey on the weak and the fittest survive, everyone is forced to do whatever it takes to survive.

Only with sufficient strength and ability can you be invincible in this cruel struggle; otherwise, you can only accept the outcome of being eliminated.

This series of seemingly absurd events is actually the inevitable result of natural selection.

Although they are shocking and outrageous, this is the reality of the world today and there is no need to make a fuss about it.
