After questioning Zhou Liheng carefully, Cheng Tianwei knew that among the eight people in this room, they could only save five and give up three.

Although it is a pity to be so powerless, in the last days, human life is the lightest thing, and there is nothing he can do about it.

"I don't wear it, but leave a set of protective clothing for my child, is it okay?"

Cheng Tianwei's news undoubtedly brought hope to the people in the house.

However, the reality behind the hope is deep despair.

After a long silence, one of the women finally spoke.

From the meaning in her words, it is not difficult to guess that she is for the mother.

"How old is your child?" No one was surprised by the mother's selfless dedication.

You Min stood up from behind Zhou Liheng and cast his gaze towards the mother, "The child is too young for us to take care of it, and the chance of him surviving in the end is even smaller."

Although cruel, what he said was the truth.

No one will take care of a child as meticulously as a mother.

"But..." Even though You Min pointed out the facts, the mother was unwilling to let go.

She was unwilling to give up her child's chance to survive, and she was afraid that this group of people would eventually abandon their mother and child.

"Let's draw lots, let's draw lots to decide which five people can wear protective clothing."

Zhou Liheng was aware of You Min's entanglement. Although he couldn't see the other party's expression through the thick protective clothing, he knew that You Min was really worried about the two children.

However, it would not be fair to others if the two children and their mother were allowed to share three of the protective clothing.

Therefore, Zhou Liheng could only put forward more pertinent proposals, which would not cause objections to those rescued people, nor would it cause You Min to worry.

"How about drawing lots?" Hearing that there was hope, the mother who supported the shoulders of the two children relaxed. She rubbed the heads of the two children and exhaled foul breath.

"There are eight wooden sticks here, let each person choose one." Zhou Liheng conjured eight thin wooden sticks out of nowhere, and held them up in front of the eight people in the room.

The protective clothing that others dare not take off, but he took it off without any psychological pressure.

When he saw people now, he had already taken off his protective hood, and besides the exposed, slender white fingers, his handsome face was also exposed.

"You..." Wanting to get rid of the moisture quickly, An Qiang and Xu Jiao finally walked into the room, found a brazier in the room and lit some fire.

The slowly burning flames clearly shone on Zhou Liheng's face, making all the survivors in the room dumb.

Even the two children who were being protected by their mother made a surprised sound.

"Hurry up."

The group of people in the room looked at him, which made Zhou Liheng a little impatient.

He raised the eight wooden sticks in his hand higher, with a haughty expression, "Five long ones, three short ones, if you draw the long ones, you can get the protective clothing."

"This one is long. Sister Lan, I'll give it to you."

Several people in the room still had a strong sense of survival, and when they heard Zhou Liheng's urging, they quickly took one from his hand, including two children who were less than five years old.

In the beginning, there was no comparison of the length of the wooden sticks, so there was no room for their hesitation.

But after everyone compared the wooden sticks, the boy who opened the door for You Min and the others suddenly spoke out.

The mother and her child were out of luck—two of the three drew short sticks.

In other words, even if the mother herself gives up the chance to survive.

There was no way she could save the two children.

Immediately afterwards, another man also spoke.

"Meng Lan, you can change it with me, mine is also long."

"Pu Wentao and I are both men. Even if we can't go out this time, we will have a chance to save ourselves later." In order to comfort the mother, the man added an explanation.

But everyone knows that in this kind of predicament, if you stay for one more minute, the hope of life will be even slimmer.

"Thank you..." Mother wanted to refuse.

But looking at her child's immature faces under the warm firelight, she had no choice but to finally accept the two sticks against her conscience.

"In this case, you should quickly put on protective clothing."

The unity of the group of people in the room and the selflessness of these two men made Cheng Tianwei and the others look a little impressed.

The person who wins the stick is not complacent.

And the person who got the short stick didn't clamor for injustice.

Even the mother, herself and the child, had two shots with a short stick, and she was not seen begging the others to give up a protective suit.

Everyone accepts this kind of result, even if there are some who disagree, they are taking their own lives to exchange the chance of others' lives.

This group of people is more selfless and fearless than most people in the last days.

However, even so, Cheng Tianwei couldn't change the status quo, he could only comfort the person holding the three short sticks, "Don't worry, you three."

"Although there is no way to rescue so many people at the same time, we will leave some supplies for you, enough for you to last for a week."

"At that time, when the rain stops, it won't be too late for you to rush out." Perhaps, taking the mother and child, including the other little girl present, would be a way.

Tianwei watched eight people in the house, although four men were laborers, the rest were women, children and children, they always needed protection when fighting.

Take them all away this time, and the remaining three can fight with more focus.

"Zhou Liheng, let's share some of our own supplies with these three people." Having a good impression of this group of people, Cheng Tianwei stopped being stingy.

"Although we don't know when this rain will fall, but don't scare yourself, the dawn will always pass."

According to the words, Zhou Liheng took out two boxes of biscuits, one box of bread, two boxes of instant noodles and one box of water from the space.

This amount is far more than a week's worth of food.

But An Qiang, Xu Jiao and the others didn't feel that there was anything wrong with them - to be honest, there was an exchange of sticks before, and they had great respect for this group of people.

"Big brothers, let me stay too. Just take Meng Lan, her two children, and Liang Shan away and resettle them."

And the only man who was assigned protective clothing was also bloody.

After hesitating again and again, he returned the white protective clothing in Zhou Liheng's hands, "You must have prepared so many sets for yourself as spares."

"If I don't follow you, you can still save a set."

"I'll stay, Brother Tu and the others can still have one more combat power."

"Okay, then let's leave some food for you." Cheng Tianwei didn't force much.

They have collected a lot of supplies recently, and it will not be a problem to distribute some to this group of people.

"Brother, no need, what you left for us is enough."
