Chapter 1089 Cruel Choice

"Master Luke, according to the current consumption, the food in the team can only last for four days at most."

In the traveling team in Kate City, David, who has been promoted to a logistics quartermaster, reported with a serious face.

In the tent, the faces of the other generals became solemn after hearing the news. The military marching team, food and grass represent the last confidence. Once this thing is gone, the hearts of the hard-won rallied people are likely to disperse.

After all, the situation is now so hopeless that it is hard to breathe. If there is no more food, it is really hard to imagine what those soldiers with numb faces will do.

The point is they don't even know where to find supplies

The vegetation visible to the naked eye along the way was infected, which was obviously the same as the situation in Kate City. Not to mention supplementing food, supplementing water sources was extremely difficult.

Now the team can barely maintain order, all relying on the sanctuary that the beast said, a group of people desperately persevered, even though the other party couldn't even tell where the sanctuary was, but the humans The instinct of wanting to live made them choose to believe him as if grasping at the last straw.

But this kind of persistence is not without a bottom line. Every day's difficult life is killing everyone's patience. The huge camel is now crushed by a straw, and the news that the food has bottomed out is very likely to be the last one. a straw.

The tent fell into silence, and the decision makers in the tent, including Luke and Bundy, were silent at this moment. Obviously, even they themselves couldn't digest the news for a while.

After some time, Luke managed to come back to his senses, and said with a wry smile, "How many people know this news?"

"The person responsible for taking care of the food is your confidant, and they are very strict, so they shouldn't leak it," David said quickly.

Luke sighed and nodded. The old knight of Bondi was indeed very meticulous in his work. He seemed to have anticipated this situation very early, and applied for a personal guard to help guard and distribute food. Looking at it now, A wise move indeed.

But this is just a little bit of delay, because things will never disappear just because they are well concealed, and paper cannot contain fire after all.

"Let's cut the quota." Luke sighed, the current situation can only be like this, and it will be a day if it can be more than one day.

David was stunned for a moment, thinking that the quota for most people is very small now. After all, everyone is not resting every day, and the daily schedule is more than sixteen hours. With the little food now, it is enough to last. It's because of amazing perseverance.

Of course, he couldn't refute it, because he couldn't think of any good way other than reducing the quota.

Now that the quota reduction has been determined, it is necessary to discuss which part of the quota to reduce.

"Grom can't cut it," Bundy said first.

As soon as this was said, no one in the entire tent refuted it. Although the orc's appetite was astonishingly large, and the amount of food for one person was equivalent to the rations of thousands of people, no one refuted it.

Not to mention that the orc's current hope lies in that orc, and no one is qualified to reduce his quota due to his contribution along the way.

Since the route is going to the south coast, when passing through several big cities along the way, there are many mutated creature attacks. Every time when encountering such a terrible monster, it is basically this orc who stands up and kills him. Now he has It is the guarantee of basic security in the team, and one person feels more effective than an army of them.

Even many civilians feel that these soldiers are unnecessary, because they have been unable to intervene in many battles.

Orc quotas can't be cut, and officers don't seem to be able to, either.

These generals of myself have already been cut to the point that they can't cut any more, and their daily consumption is similar to that of ordinary military officers, so it seems inappropriate to cut them to the same level as civilians.

Soldiers can't cut it either. Soldiers are under a lot of mental pressure now, and they have to face unfair accusations from civilians.

After all the calculations, it can only cut down civilians.

Luke thought for a while, and finally said: "If the quotas for women and children remain the same, and only the quotas for ordinary civilian men are weakened, how many more days can we last?"

These words made David, who was born as a commoner, feel a little complicated, but he also knew that this was a helpless move.

From a moral point of view, giving priority to women and children makes sense to a certain extent, especially for the head of the family, as the pillar of the family, it must be acceptable to suffer some hardships so that the mother-in-law and children can have enough food.

Thinking of this, David sighed, and finally replied honestly: "If the rations of all civilian men are reduced by half, you can probably save three days' rations."

"Is it only three days?" Luke frowned, a little dissatisfied with the number.

"Three days is already very reluctant," David said with a wry smile.

"What if it's cut to a third?"

David was stunned for a moment, feeling that this was too cruel, at least there must be a process to cut off a third directly, judging by the intensity of the current schedule, many people may have to collapse after two days.

"That should barely last five days."

"Let's decide like this!" Luke said without waiting for David to react.

"This..." David immediately looked around, wanting to seek help from other people, but he was shocked to find that the whole tent, including his old boss, Duke Bondi, also acquiesced to this decision.

Suddenly he was puzzled, and before he could speak, Bondi suddenly said: "Sometimes you have to give up when you have to give up. Fewer men are a good thing for many soldiers who are single and have lost their families."

"Eh?" The inexplicable words made David stunned for a while, but he was also a smart person, and he figured it out after a few seconds of stunned.

Adults, you want to completely give up on ordinary men!

After drawing this conclusion and pushing it up, everything can be explained.

Most of the soldiers in the army either did not have a family, or their family members were killed in the accident. There are hundreds of thousands of soldiers, and they are all bachelors.

You know, judging from the current information, they are likely to be the last population on this continent, so from this point of view, those women in Kate City may also be the last women on this continent.

Abandoning those civilian men can free up the women in their families. Women need to find a strong man to be the pillar of the family in order to survive, and soldiers also need a family to rely on to have the goal of fighting.

Kill two birds with one stone!

Thinking of this, David's heart suddenly turned cold. Although he knew that this decision was for the hope of the whole team's survival, it was too much, wasn't it?

"Need not!"

Just when David didn't know how to reply, a mellow voice came from the entrance of the tent, and then a huge and burly figure bent down into the tent.

David cheered up, and it was Brother Gou who came.

"Mr. Grom" Luke frowned when he saw the orc rushing in to object, but he still replied in a gentle tone: "This is also a helpless move. After all, we need more time for the sanctuary you mentioned. Going to find it, and giving up some people for this is also a choice of last resort.”

"Tomorrow" Brother Gou directly interrupted the other party.

"Huh?" Luke was taken aback.

"Tomorrow, we will arrive at our destination!" Brother Gou said quietly.

Everyone: "!!!"

There is another chapter tonight. It should be after twelve o'clock.

I’m sorry about the lack of updates yesterday. Originally, I wrote most of the chapters during the day after I changed the medicine for the Rubik’s Cube yesterday. I originally planned to watch the LOL game with enough time to finish three chapters at night.

But the plan couldn’t keep up with the changes. At eight o’clock in the evening, a group of friends suddenly came to see me laughing, bah, visit me, and then sit at my house for three or four hours. Alright, it's almost twelve o'clock after finishing the daytime chapter

I was wrong, next time I want to watch the competition, I must finish writing the novel first.
