[Hunter] The Meteor Legend after Lydia's Life Record

The body of An Po, the instigator of the crisis at the base, was hastily dragged aside, and a dozen people regrouped to discuss the urgent task and how to tide over the difficulties.

After the eldest sister fell, the base was temporarily headed by the small trumpet.I saw him constantly pushing his glasses, with sweat dripping from his forehead, feeling very troubled by the current situation:

"Currently there are 382 people in the base, including 162 psychics and 220 ordinary people. There is a quota for the daily consumption of so many people. However, there are still [-] boxes of food available in the warehouse. …On average, the normal level of consumption can only last for three days, and if it is the lowest consumption, it can last for five days. But that means that the share of food supplied by the base to each person is reduced to the point where it can only survive. There is a great hidden danger: first..."

"Stop talking about these useless things." The man with the crossbow in his hand roughly interrupted the small speaker's lengthy narration, "Just tell me what to do. Isn't there not enough supplies? Is there a solution?"

I also feel that what the little speaker has been talking about for a long time is useless nonsense.But seeing that he was sweating profusely, his face changed color with anxiety and his eyes dodged, there was probably nothing he could do.

Sure enough, the little trumpet was stunned by the question for a moment, and the man holding the crossbow—he seems to be a powerful figure in the pro-guards—had a "tsk" impatiently and disdainfully, took over the right to speak forcefully, and said vigorously: "Materials If not enough, add supplies.”

"Two ways: According to the usual practice, there are plenty of fresh garbage outside, and there are so many villages. If there is anything missing, just go outside to grab it. But now all the people with abilities are paralyzed, and the base can't produce so much combat power. So the second way, you can't go to the village. Grab it outside, just grab it in the base."

"Grab in the base?! What do you mean?" someone asked.

"It's very simple. With so many people in the base, do you usually have more or less saved supplies? Now that they are all collected and distributed uniformly, there may be quite a few, which is enough to meet urgent needs." The man said forcefully.

"This is crazy!" murmured a young female family member.

"Who is willing to give up the food in their hands? Let alone at this moment!" A thin man said, he seemed to be a member of a small group on the second floor.

"Moreover, how much food is in each family's hands! If you take out less food, it won't help. If you keep more food and eat it for a few days, who would be willing to hand it over? So this is basically an open grab?!"

"So what about grabbing? Do you have other ways to get so many supplies right now?" said a man with a gun behind the man with the crossbow.

"Is it really not okay to go outside and grab it?" A middle-aged woman among the family representatives asked.

"Ha! Do you know how many people are still standing in the base that can fight?" The man with the gun sneered, and mocked unceremoniously, "Tell you, all ordinary people with combat effectiveness in the base are now registered as pro There are only [-] guards in total! Thirty people, it is difficult to defend such a large base, and go out to rob? To put it lightly!"

"But grabbing in the base..."

Another small group representative on the first floor, a man with peach blossom eyes and engaged in intelligence, smiled lightly and abruptly: "Rabbits bite people when they are in a hurry. Those people are not so honest. I just want to know that when the time comes, the ordinary people in the base will blow up." Pot, do we have the ability to control the situation?"

"Only people from the pro-guards can stand on top." Someone in the family group whispered.

"We have enough guns and weapons as a deterrent." Behind the man with the crossbow, a strong man who had never spoken said.

"But what about casualties?"

Among the representatives of the pro-guards attending the meeting, at a certain distance from the three people headed by the crossbowman, my partner Xiaobai folded his arms and said, "There is only so much force that can be used. Once the suppression fails and there are casualties, our strength will continue to grow." No loss."

The crossbowman sneered: "Joke, suppressing a group of ants casualties? Such a person is dead, and it's useless to keep it!"

Xiaobai shrugged his shoulders, appearing disapproving, but just smiled and stopped talking.

"I have another question." A woman wrapped in a black robe raised her hand. She has a low sense of existence, but the black robe is eye-catching. I remember it is a representative of another small group on the second floor.

"If we openly collect materials, we will definitely not be able to conceal the current plight of the base. We were able to stabilize so many people before because the base provided food. Once the shortage of materials is exposed, how much control will the base have over the people underneath? There are more than 200 people outside. People, if the hearts of the people are not aligned, no matter how many weapons we have, it will not work with just three or 40 of us."

"She's right. Don't really trample on the women and children on Meteor Street like ants—that old woman is an example." A man next to Xiaobai Awu said, raising his chin to point to An Po's body in the corner, "Many ants kill elephants."

"Having said so much, what is the use of you other than looking forward and backward?" The guard with a gun scolded impatiently, "This will not work and that will not work, you guys have to come up with a solution!"

Everyone looked at each other for a while.

"Since this is the only way, I don't want to hear any more nonsense." The man with the crossbow said coldly.

"This is not nonsense." The little speaker pushed down his glasses and said in a conciliatory tone: "These issues must indeed be considered. Otherwise, there will be troubles in the base, and none of us will be able to bear the responsibility."

I noticed the Ballista Man grin mockingly after he finished speaking.

"I have a solution for this." The peach-eyed intelligence man said suddenly.

In the eyes of everyone, he spread his hands with confidence: "The high-pressure policy of forced food collection and the exposure of weaknesses will indeed greatly weaken the control of the base. The rebound is certain, but the degree of rebound depends on how to appease the base during the operation. People's hearts. If I am allowed to arrange the specific matters of food collection, I can minimize the risk."

"Are you sure you can?" the man with the crossbow asked imposingly.

Tao Huayan nodded calmly.

"Then you do it!" the crossbowman man said.

He turned his head to look at the small speaker, who frowned and asked, "If there is no objection, we will make this decision?"

There was silence.

"Very well, let's do it this way." The little trumpet let out a long sigh of relief, and said with relief, "This matter is settled, and it's better to start sooner rather than later. Everyone, do you have any questions?"

I actually want to ask, how to ensure safe and secure storage of so many final supplies?If you come out like this again, everyone will really run out of food.

Moreover, who will distribute the collected food?Is it still in charge of the women in the logistics?If they don't share it fairly (sneer, like us), it's not as simple as before - after all, it was just an extra supply for the base, and now it's the last lifeline that everyone handed over together, shared.

But seeing that no one has asked this question, I just said no.

...It seems that everyone is still united in thinking about the base, and no one raises such doubts that are not conducive to unity out of selfishness.

Well, maybe I am low-minded and selfish.But it doesn't matter, after all, I'm the only one here, the one who doesn't need to worry about this problem the least.Why say it to be offensive?

If it does happen, let's talk about it.

"Little Trumpet, how long do you think you can last if you gather all the materials in the hands of everyone in the base?" Aying's mother, who was the head of the logistics team, kept silent and asked solemnly, with her arms folded.

"This..." The speaker took out his notebook, quickly wrote a few lines of calculations, and raised his head, "The exact details cannot be estimated, but another three to five days will not be a problem."

"Including the existing ones, it will be six to ten days." Ah Ying's mother frowned deeply.

"We can only win so much time..." Little Trumpet nodded with an ugly face, and said weakly, "In other words, this is the limit."

"To put it bluntly, if this time limit is exceeded, the psychics at the base can't find a way to get better, and they can only wait to die." The crossbowman said indifferently, "Only by us, our strength is limited after all."

The young woman in the family let out a whimper.

"There is no other way." Peach Blossom Eyes not far away sighed.

"What's the use of saying this now?" I couldn't help it, and asked clearly for the first time.As soon as the words came out, everyone looked at me in unison, with rather strange eyes.

"What are you looking at?" I wondered, and then I realized that the crisp voice belonging to a little girl sounded abruptly among a group of serious adults.

I frowned, and continued seriously: "We can't do anything, why bother to think about it? The only thing we can do now is to stabilize the base. If we can last one more day, it is one day. The longer we persist, the turning point will appear more likely."

After a pause, I looked around, and said again: "It's all chaos outside now. The base collapsed, and everyone is finished. People with abilities and ordinary people are grasshoppers on the same rope. Just do your best."

Say less frustrating words.

"Lydia is right." Xiaobai said, "Also, we overlooked one point."

"What?" someone asked.

"The crisis of the base is not only in the interior." Xiaobai said frustratingly.Before that, he had always had a sense of disengagement that had nothing to do with him, and now it became serious——

"It's a mess outside, everyone." He emphasized the word "chaos".

"Indeed!" the peach-eyed man clapped his hands.

He then explained: "The problems we encountered will also be encountered by people outside. The second district is a pyramid structure, and the top layer is mainly composed of people with the ability to read. Now that the people with the ability to read have fallen, the work of the second district has been paralyzed from top to bottom. .This means that garbage cannot be exchanged for fresh supplies!"

"Without supplies, one cannot survive..." Someone murmured nonsense, but no one laughed at him.

All were seized by a dreadful surmise.

"Have you ever thought about it? An emaciated camel is bigger than a horse, and the supplies at the base are still abundant after all. But outside..." Tao Huayan stopped here with lingering fear.

"Thousands of hungry ordinary people..." the black-robed woman murmured under her hood.

"They are the real danger." The crossbowman said coldly, word by word.

I seem to see under the towering rubbish mountain, thousands of yellow and emaciated hungry people rushing up like a tide, the cement-colored base is surrounded and looks small, and then swallowed...

"What should we do?!" The old woman in the family asked in a deep voice.

"We only have thirty people..." The voice of the thin man in the small group on the second floor trembled faintly.

"How could there be thirty people?" The crossbowman said coldly, "Are all those people outside dead?"

"The base is not raising them for nothing." The man with the gun behind him sang, "If you don't work hard at this time, it's better to just starve to death."

"That's 200 people." Ah Ying's mother said.

"You mean..." Xiaobai rubbed his chin with interest if he realized something.

"Training." "Training!"

The crossbowman and Taohuayan said at the same time.

Meaning that he and Peach Blossom Eyes looked at each other inexplicably, and the crossbowman masked frost and said: "This is the most important thing in the future. It is parallel to the collection of supplies."

"This is to implement a complete high-handed rule." The man beside Xiaobai Awu said with emotion.

The two most important issues of this meeting were basically resolved.

The most urgent task is to collect materials, under the unified command of Taohuayan, the heads of our various halls are in charge of their respective areas, and the pro-guards will provide the necessary deterrent force while strengthening the security of the base.The logistics team is responsible for counting and keeping the collected materials, and implementing a strict food rationing system.

The faster the collection of materials, the fewer variables, must be completed tonight.Starting tomorrow, all ordinary people in the base will be gathered for armed training in order to deal with possible invasions the base may encounter.

On the eve of the end of the meeting, Tao Huayan suddenly said——

"One last question. How is eldest sister doing now?"

As soon as this remark came out, everyone's distracted attention immediately focused on the small speaker, and their eyes almost rubbed off the temperature.

Little Trumpet sighed, and the worry between his brows darkened: "So far, Eldest Sister is still in a coma."

However, he immediately reassured him: "However, referring to the symptoms shown by other psychics in the base, this coma is a normal phenomenon. I believe that the elder sister will wake up late at night at the latest."

That's true, but his nervous and non-stop action of pushing his glasses is really not reassuring.

"But we are going to make a big move now. After all, the time waits for no one." Tao Huayan said in a calm tone, "Before the eldest sister wakes up and can take charge, we must have a unified command. I want to ask, this person who is it?"

The little trumpet was about to speak, but Ah Ying's mother said first, "The elder sister clearly said before that after she fell down, the little trumpet would take full responsibility for her leadership. What do you mean by asking now?"

questioning tone.

"I think what he said makes sense." The crossbowman said with a strong and cold attitude: "What we are going to do will determine the survival of the base, and there must be someone who can control the situation. I'm afraid the little trumpet doesn't have the ability .”

This is too straightforward...

But as far as I can see, I am afraid it is also true.During this meeting, no, during the period after the eldest sister fell, the ability that Xiao Trumpan has shown is really... difficult to follow with confidence.

In my opinion, he is more suitable as a delicate and steady deputy, rather than a strong decision maker.

There was an awkward and suffocating silence.

"Big sister will wake up soon."

In the end, it was the little speaker who broke the silence by himself.He pushed his glasses, and said in a calm and steady tone: "I will be the temporary person in charge until she wakes up. Of course, my personal ability is limited, so I will listen carefully to everyone's opinions as much as possible. make a decision."

"This is also the meaning of the eldest sister, and I hope everyone will cooperate."

The atmosphere was inexplicably tense, the small speaker was fully activated, the hand holding the glasses was put down, and the eyes behind the glasses calmly looked around everyone.He paused for a few breaths, and when he felt that someone was about to retort, he spoke first, paused word by word, and said in a firm tone:

"Our current decision, I will report to the eldest sister after she wakes up. Because besides the eldest sister, I don't think there is another person who is qualified to lead the affairs of the South Branch."

"Please keep this in mind."

"Of course, we don't mean to deny eldest sister." Twisting the corner of his mouth, the crossbowman said firmly.

"Yes. I'm just afraid that things are not that simple..." Taohuayan sighed, hesitated to speak, and then said: "Forget it, let's talk about it if we really meet. Of course we will obey the orders of the eldest sister."

"I said, let's do the practical things first, everyone. The dinner time has passed, and we are still waiting outside." Xiao Bai stood lazily with arms folded, and said suddenly.

"Elder Sister already understands what she meant. You don't have to worry about Little Trumpet. Let's adjourn the meeting now. We're going to prepare dinner again." Ah Ying's mother said in a deep voice.

"That's good." The little trumpet sighed, clasped his hands together, and said, "The meeting is adjourned."

Everyone filed out, and I thought while walking:

Looking at the final posture, the small speakers really couldn't calm down the scene.It would be fine if the elder sister could hold on for a while longer, but if not, there might be a dispute over the leadership of the base.

This is also very realistic-if the small speaker designated by the eldest sister cannot stand up, the base must choose a decisive iron hand, especially at such a critical moment of life and death, a mess of loose sand is tantamount to asking for death.

As for the people attending the meeting today...

The crossbowman's attitude is the strongest - behind him should be an ordinary expert who was originally in the personal guards, the eldest sister's direct line, and a high-level executive who had a certain right to speak before.He seemed to want to kick off the small horn and become the temporary boss himself.

The Peach Blossom Eye who was engaged in intelligence was also very eye-catching and seemed very capable-but he was a member of another small group "Red Fire" on the first floor, and all "Red Fire" except him were psychics.In other words, there is no one behind him, and the most important thing is that he has no force, so he will definitely not be able to take the position by himself.

Then there is the family group headed by Ah Ying's mother and the logistics department—they are relatively disadvantaged women and children, but they have special powers and control the jobs of everyone in the base.They seem to support small speakers.In other words, support the elder sister's decision.But Ah Ying's mother also felt very strong.

There are also Xiaobai, Wu, and the man next to them—I have known them before, and they are ordinary people who were only incorporated into the pro-guards after the crisis happened.Because he has no worries and great ability, compared with other people in the base who are facing disaster, he has a feeling of laxity and nothing to do with himself.Their attitude is still relatively hesitant and vague.

In the end, me, the woman in the black robe, and another thin man—we were representatives of three other small groups that remained on the base after the incident.A small group like ours, like other high-level executives in the base, is dominated by people with abilities. They are usually extremely tyrannical, but now they are all sick cats.Therefore, it is weak and lacks the right to speak.

But this is not absolute.

I always think about what Kuroro said before, he asked me to take the development of things into our control.Is this for me to seize control of the base after my eldest sister is down?

To be honest, I'm a bit vague, and I don't want to get involved in such a fierce and complicated confrontation.It's much easier for me to watch the fire from the other side and go with the flow.But since Kuroro said it, he must have his reasons.If it's to protect them, of course I can do it.

Absolute power rests in my hands - if everyone is put into the "ready to kill" group, of course I can override everyone.It's just temporary power, and I'm not really accepting younger brothers, it's actually very simple.

It's just for the time being, I don't want to expose my special ability yet.

It would be crazy to kill everyone who knew the secret after the fact, wouldn't it?

Let's see again.

The author has something to say: completed~

I have a general plan for what content to write in each chapter, so sometimes I can only make up later if I can't send it out at seven o'clock.I always hope to keep the rhythm as tight as possible, but every clue must be explained clearly before the story can go on.The author is also very impatient, the brigade group agreed to be established in March can't be completed (crying

Let's see, everyone, it's coming soon, really.I hope you like it and have fun watching!
