Chapter 654 A Difficult Choice, a Test of Human Nature!

Sun Bahu's imagination of a scene where everyone held a bowl of hot broth and chanted his name loudly could not come true in the end. Google search reading

Although he planned well and thought well.

But when it came time to implement it, the rotten foundation of the origin territory still showed its huge destructive power.

At early ten o'clock at night, under the curfew.

Sumo stood by the window and saw countless ordinary people who were cursing and hungry, but dared to be angry and dare not speak out, walking away from the center of the territory and towards the mountains where they lived.

Obviously, not only did these people not receive tonight's broth, but the so-called distributed materials were probably just a pitiful "origin coin".

In a sense, this day's hard work is equivalent to

All for nothing!

"It's going to be bad. There's such a drama tonight. I'm afraid Sun Bahu himself will feel a little cold."

"If I guess correctly, he will probably run away directly the day after tomorrow at the latest and leave the origin territory with a large amount of supplies."

Sumo closed the window and looked unusually serious.

The interrogation during the day had given him a thorough understanding of how much material the group had moved.

Not surprisingly, those placed in the warehouse can only account for 30% of all supplies at most, and the remaining 70% were taken to the secret trading realm and secretly transferred by this group of people.

Judging from the base of 30,000 people, this is not a small sum.

Even the sum of all the supplies in his own territory can make up for the loopholes this time.

Judging from Sun Bahu's reaction during the day, after wiping out this wave of people, he still didn't want to give up his origin territory and run away directly.

There is a high probability that he has some "private money" in his hand and can try to make up for 70% of the loss and survive this major cooling disaster.

But after tonight, it was such a heartbreaking scene.

As long as Sun Bahu is not a fool, I am afraid that the only choice left to him is to leave first with the remaining supplies.

After this disaster is over, those who survived will be recruited into another identity in order to make a comeback.

As for the ordinary people who lack supplies and the ordinary refugees who work strictly according to the rules in this process.

Then he can only be forcibly sacrificed!

"Director, why don't we withdraw first? If Sun Bahu runs away directly, I'm afraid this place will soon become a lawless place."

"We stay here. Although we are not afraid of these people coming to rob us, after all," Sumo thought carefully, and Feng Tianmin behind him suddenly said.

"Withdraw?" Sumo turned his head.

"Thirty thousand people's resources disappeared overnight, the Origin Coins in their hands turned into ordinary pieces of iron, and soon there was another horrific cooling disaster."

"With all the nests in the house, how can there be a complete egg?"

"I'm afraid those beasts who are still occupying ordinary people tonight don't know that in a day or two, the butcher's knife will fall directly on their heads!"

"But on the other hand, those of us travelers who are still staying in the territory may become fat sheep in the eyes of some people. If we stay here, there will still be danger!"

Opening his mouth, Feng Tianmin wanted to say directly that with the current strength of everyone, even if he continued to stay here, he would only be a witness to a disaster and tragedy, and would not be able to make any effective response at all.

But in the end, he stopped thinking about saying that and instead used more euphemistic language to express his thoughts.

The shortfall of thirty thousand people is not three thousand or three hundred.

When it comes to the number of 10,000, even if each person consumes only one kilogram of grain per day, 30,000 kilograms are needed to satisfy it.

The duration of ultra-low temperature was a total of 120 hours, as many as five days.

In these five days, according to the minimum standards, at least 150,000 kilograms of food need to be provided.

This number, even if placed in the Tianyuan territory and the low-lying Hope Village, is also a terrifying number that wipes out the family's wealth.

No one will bear it, and no one can bear it, not even the human Su Shen!

"Director, let's go, those people tonight are not worth saving at all!"

"This kind of beast who is still thinking of seeking personal gain and oppressing ordinary people in the apocalyptic wasteland will be a disaster if he is brought back to our territory!"

Seeing Somo's thoughtful expression, Feng Long also persuaded him.

Immediately, Guan Yu settled down behind him, and also tried to persuade him. He probably meant that it was useless to stay here. It was better to go back to the Shanyue Territory and wait until the disaster passed, and then come here to gather the survivors.

In this way, it can be regarded as a good thing done, and it is completely justified psychologically.

"Okay, I will think about it, so you three can go back first. You have been busy all day yesterday and didn't sleep until today."

"Let's all have a good sleep tonight and stop thinking about these troublesome things."

He forced a smile and looked at the expressions of the three people who wanted to say something. He waved his hands and lay on the bed.

With such a performance, the three of them couldn't say much, so they had no choice but to stand up and quietly leave with the mechanics on the ground.

Snapped!

The door opened and was gently closed again, and for a moment the room became quiet again.

On the branches of the moon, the clouds parted.

Tonight is destined to be a sleepless night for most of the refugees in their origin territory.

The extremely high air humidity was injected into the bedding, exuding waves of dampness.

The exhaustion of energy brought about by the strenuous physical exertion during the day meant that although tonight's night was not extremely cold, it felt biting to the body.

Coupled with the psychological pressure caused by the impending horror of the Great Cooling Disaster.

Even if many people lie down with aches all over their bodies, their minds are constantly replaying the difficult situations they faced during past disasters.

The more the territory of tens of thousands of people develops, the more it seems to deviate from their original imagination.

At first, when they united, this place was thriving.

Houses were added, territories were built, mountains were repaired, and land was constructed.

Watching farmland being opened up from this valley by people with their own hands, some cold-resistant wild vegetables were planted, and they began to grow vigorously.

Watching teams of foreign populations settle down here with unimaginable supplies, trade, eat and stay in hotels, greatly driving the flow of resources.

Everyone fantasizes that in the next year, they can at least accumulate enough food for more than half a year and have an unusually strong safe house.

However.

This fantasy lasted too short a time, as short as watching a movie, and it was time to end in a flash.

From the original dozen or so lords of the main peaks, some died, some disappeared, and some were wanted.

Later, Sun Bahu came to power and implemented various policies.

Finally, it ended with the heavy snowfall that we just experienced a few days ago.

The bright prospects before, how long has it been, almost destroyed completely.

Corruption, oppression, deception.

The original flowers and clusters, at this time, these ugliness, on the contrary, surfaced more and more.

Just because a bowl of broth was unevenly distributed, it was like a barrel of explosives in people's hearts, and all the resentment that had been accumulated in their hearts came out.

Many people have even begun to plan to leave here with supplies and rejoin other territories after the disaster is over.

In this atmosphere, it was just after three o'clock in the middle of the night.

Su Mo, who was staying in Sanyuan Hotel, suddenly opened his eyes.

He didn't sleep all night yesterday, and the fatigue brought by a busy day during the day, without other accidents, was recovered in just over four hours.

In this case, he can continue to sleep.

But

"Alas, I'm worried!"

Sitting up, picking up the water bottle on the edge of the bed, Su Mo raised his head and drank half a bottle of psionic water, with a worried look on his face.

Strictly speaking, he is not a saint who must save everyone he sees, nor is he a cold-blooded executioner.

Just like most Chinese young people.

Although everyone says this and that, when it comes to the time to rescue, facing those who can be saved, they will basically lend a hand.

There are indeed many hateful things in the Origin Territory now.

But how can it be fair to use these people to cover up all the ordinary people who work hard and diligently.

If you really do nothing, wait until this disaster is over.

Even if there are still many people alive in the Origin Territory, these people are not the lowest level and the most willing to pay.

Bringing these survivors back to their own territory, let alone other things, the subsequent risks that may be caused are difficult to accept!

"There are only three days left, and I don't have time to sort out what kind of people these people are."

"Besides, the supplies I have are not enough for 3,000 people, let alone 3,000 people. At most, I can only maintain a scale of about 1,000 people."

"If there are more, I'm afraid Feng Mengyue's Shanyue Territory will have to contribute manpower."

Su Mo had anticipated this worst-case scenario before, and there might be a situation where it would be difficult to take care of both sides, but when this really happened, he felt troublesome.

The distance between the Origin Territory and his own territory is too far.

Even if everyone has gone through it once and has experience, it will take at least ten days to go back from here.

This is half a month.

Where can I squeeze out this half a month now?

Thinking of this, Su Mo shook his head and completely excluded the idea of ​​bringing resources from the territory.

Or ask the system to see if the extremely mysterious system can open that unique perspective like before and take a batch of supplies from a distance?

Thinking of this, Su Mo tried to call out the system interface, and called out softly.

But unfortunately, the system had not agreed to the previous requests to go back and take a look. How could the system respond to this request to directly take in supplies?

Even though Su Mo called out more than a dozen times, the light blue interface only had water waves floating, and no other response came out.

OK!

This road is also blocked!

Turn off the panel.

After pondering for a moment, Su Mo could not think of any other good solution, so he simply walked to the window, gently opened the window and looked out.

A day of heavy rain finally washed away the stench brought by the failure to clean up in time in the Origin Territory.

On the entire street, except for a little mud, there was rarely any trace of garbage.

The dim firelight came from far to near, and from time to time a few guards holding torches and weapons and shivering all over walked by, taking away the desolation on the street.

After a busy day, on this cold night, the guards who enforced the curfew were obviously extremely tired and completely lost their usual spirit.

Under such lax guards, Su Mo thought about it and simply jumped from the window, landing lightly on the muddy ground, leaving two deep footprints.

He used the tip of his shoe to wipe a few times to eliminate the traces of his departure.

Su Mo lightly followed the guard who had just left, and in just a moment he arrived at the west gate of the Origin Territory.

Last night, after going out of the east gate guarded by Huang Bing, there was a wilderness covered with snow.

But from this west gate, there are mountains of all sizes in the Origin Territory where people live.

Because he had a lot of information in his hands, even though it was Su Mo's first time here, he didn't feel unfamiliar at all.

He walked around the guards at the gate and followed the first mountain peak that was close at hand. Su Mo gently touched it like a ghost in the dark night.

On the way, after some judgments on the terrain and features, Su Mo learned the name of this mountain.

The seventh peak of the Origin Territory, the Turnaround Peak.

The top of the mountain is 370 meters high, with 279 small residential houses and a total population of 2,170 people.

Compared with the snow-capped mountains, climbing such a mountain is as easy as eating and drinking for Su Mo.

It took less than an hour for Su Mo to climb from the bottom to the top and back from the top.

At this time, the time has come to about five o'clock, and a faint light has appeared on the horizon, implying that dawn is coming.

Hurrying in time, find the fourth peak before Marshal Wang, Jiuqu Peak.

Su Mo climbed up with ease, and based on his experience in exploring the Turning Peak, he carefully checked the status of everyone on the Nine-Bend Peak.

This time, Su Mo saw very detailed information.

It was not until half past six when the sun was about to rise that he returned to the foot of the Nine-Bend Peak and returned to the Sanyuan Territory along the old road.

He sat down at the table again, poured out a cup of tea, and Su Mo drank it in one gulp.

Although it was only a few hours that night, the scenes he saw brought him great shock and touch.

Standing outside the window of the residential building.

He saw countless middle-aged men who were so hungry that they couldn't sleep and had to put tree bark in their mouths to deceive their taste and smell.

He saw young people with only one set of clothes, who were wet by the rain during the day and could only hide naked under a thin spring quilt at night and shivered with a livid face.

He saw the young girl who should have been enjoying her youth in college, but now she could only huddle in a corner with her mother, looking forward to the arrival of daylight.

He also saw too many, too many ordinary people who were almost collapsed because of this disaster and the sudden game.

At the same time.

Along the way, Su Mo also heard too many, too many sufferings in the world.

Many people were lying in bed, because they couldn't sleep, and whispered to the people around them that they would take out all their current belongings and spend all their money to buy seeds to plant and wait for the harvest season.

There were also many people who were too hungry and fantasized that the lord Sun Bahu would be kind tomorrow and give the broth to those who didn't drink it after the cooking.

But if they knew that the supplies in their territory had been emptied by more than 70% at this time.

The remaining 30% was very likely to be taken away by Sun Bahu.

I'm afraid that before the damage caused by this disaster completely fell on these people, this early psychological blow could take away more than half of their lives!

"Save or not?"

Looking at the ray of sunlight scattered in front of his table, Su Mo laughed the moment this idea came to his mind.

Sometimes, some questions really don't need to be asked.

Because the moment you ask, you already have the answer in your heart.

Su Mo doesn't expect to save everyone.

But as long as one more person survives, there may be one more loyal citizen in his territory in the future.

Such efforts and gains are totally worth it!
