Chapter 167 This Is the Doomsday Train! (5000 Additional Chapters, Monthly Votes Requested!)
"What, what rumors?" KIKI heard their conversation and asked in confusion.
Upon hearing this, Shu Qin looked at KIKI with a complicated expression, and then looked at Lin Xian
"They are talking about the rumored pack hunting effect. Haven't you heard of it?"
"Group hunting effect?" Lin Xian looked sharply: "Does it have something to do with the situation here?"
Shu Qin's eyes darkened: "It's just some rumors."
"Where are the rumors?" After hearing this, Zhou Yixuan came over with an urgent expression and said, "Didn't we encounter a wave of corpses that night after Qu Guan and Lao Xu joined forces?"
"Didn't I tell you that it was done by the Black Crow Four?!" Shu Qin replied immediately
"But what about the vampires in the back? We lost four cars that night." Zhou Yixuan became more and more excited as he talked: "And Yubei City, why are there so many zombies and monsters? Many people think it's too unusual. It must be that too many survivors gathered there, which triggered the hunting effect. Now we are walking all the way and no other convoys have been seen. Only the Fireline convoy has an accident here. They merged three convoys, Sister Qin, Isn’t that true?”
Lin Xian understood immediately when he heard this. In fact, this conjecture was not just Zhou Yixuan's, but he had also thought of this.
"So the meaning of the group hunting effect is that the more people there are, the more weird bodies will come to hunt. Is that what it means?" Chen Sixuan also asked at this time.
Shu Qin nodded and said solemnly
"It's like this. There have been some rumors on some survivor radio stations before, saying that the larger the survivor team expands, the more strange bodies and monsters they will encounter. But there is also another explanation, which is What does it mean if two chased prey meet?"
"It means there are two hunters behind." Lin Xian replied.
"Yes, no matter what it is, it shows that the bigger the group is, the greater the danger. Now many survivors are starting to keep grouping together. I think this may be what those monsters want to see." Zhou Yixuan said.
"I want to catch us all!" Another girl also said with a scared look.
Lin Xian's expression brightened when he heard this. This statement did sound credible. He was even more inclined to the hunter's judgment.
From the pursuit of the red centipede to the pursuit of the white giant monster, including the pursuit of the Iron Guard Brigade by the atmospheric mica, whether it is a coincidence or not, there seems to be some meaning in it.
"I understand."
Lin Xian nodded: "You think that if you merge with us, there will be more dangers, right?"
"Captain Lin..." Shu Qin was about to speak, but Lin Xian waved his hand to her, signaling for him to finish.
When Zhou Yixuan heard Lin Xian's words, his excited expression suddenly froze, he opened his mouth and his eyes flickered.
When he was in the maintenance workshop at first, he did not behave very actively. In fact, Lin Xian also saw that not everyone in Shu Qin's team had this idea.
"No, Captain Lin, that's not what I meant..."
Zhou Yixuan looked horrified, and his words were trembling at this time: "Everyone thinks that the survival rate will be higher if they can follow the superpowers or large convoys. Indeed, this is also the case. Like the Silver Star and Longshan No. 1, there are so many people , including the Phoenix Society, but for us ordinary people, the increased risk of rashly joining a group is not proportional to our strength. I am just worried...worried that we will become a burden to your Infinity."
When he said this, everyone in Shuqin's team looked a little complicated and looked at him in different ways.
Lin Xian looked at Zhou Yixuan and saw through his lie at a glance.
Worrying about becoming a burden is false, worrying about becoming cannon fodder for superpowers is real. In fact, his worries are not unreasonable. According to the hunting group effect, the troubles encountered by powerful superpowers or large groups are combined. Together, it would be a disaster for ordinary people in other teams, even an unthinkable disaster.
But when the nest is overturned, using such an exquisite idea of escape is completely extreme.
To put it simply, normal people would not think like Zhou Yixuan. Even if they think so, they would not say it out loud, and it should not change anything. It is human nature to stick together, hug each other, and seek advantages and avoid disadvantages.
Zhou Yixuan's expression at this time was obviously that fear had overcome his reason. He attributed the troubles he encountered along the way to the result of Shu Qin teaming up with other teams and not listening to the pack hunting effect, because as an ordinary person, he could not change anything. , so one would think that Shu Qin leading the team to join the Infinity will bring greater trouble, and ordinary people like them will definitely suffer from this kind of trouble.
The death of Zhong Jiahao's family in front also made Zhou Yixuan's idea of escape more concrete.
Lin Xian looked at Zhou Yixuan and then at the others. There was a strong smell of blood floating on the road. He said in a cold voice.
"Whether this group hunting effect is true or not, unity is a way for humans to amplify individual influence, so I respect your choice."
"Shu Qin."
Lin Xian said to Shu Qin who looked complicated at this time: "There are many available cars here, as well as heavy trucks. It's still early now. I should be able to get to Hengshan Pass before it gets dark. If anyone wants to join us, I will do the same." Welcome, but you must have the belief that you will die, because the monsters we encounter must be more terrifying than the previous ones. If you have concerns and ideas, you can choose a car and drive away. "
As soon as these words came out, Zhou Yixuan suddenly felt his head clear, but he also hesitated at this time.
In front of him was a fully equipped heavy truck from the Fire Line Team. According to the theory he firmly believed in, this was indeed a good opportunity.
Zhou Yixuan looked at Shuqin at this time, and Shuqin just looked at him calmly: "I respect your choice."
"Thank you, Sister Qin."
Zhou Yixuan's expression was tense, and the whole feeling was a little depressed. Then he didn't say anything more, and went back to the car to pack his luggage. At this time, three other people in the team also followed his actions. The four of them drove a heavy truck and an off-road vehicle, said goodbye to everyone and drove away.

The atmosphere on Shuqin's team was bleak. Lin Xian looked at this scene and sighed.
In fact, when he formed the team before, he was also prepared for someone in the team to go their separate ways at any time because of life and interests, including Chen Sixuan, KIKI, and Dalou.
No matter whether the other party's reason looks stupid, it is everyone's own choice.
In this ruined end of the world, it is too naive to talk about human hearts. No matter whether they are ordinary people or not, they only care about one life.
"Shuqin."
Lin Xian looked at her and said seriously: "What about you."
"I've been following you."
Shuqin said solemnly: "If you don't welcome me, I will take them away immediately."
Looking at this scene, Shasha grabbed the corner of Chen Sixuan's clothes nervously, and the Infinity Team felt a little depressed.
The people in Shuqin's team who stayed behind all looked at Lin Xian in unison, and the desire in their eyes was self-evident.
No matter what the considerations were, these people who stayed behind were eager to join Infinity at this time.
Lin Xian looked at Shu Qin, then at the others, and said with a stern look in his eyes: "Be it the herd hunting effect or just catching wind and shadows, maybe we will be wiped out tonight like this fire line convoy. If you want to get on my car, you'd better be prepared now. The unity of the survivors is the general trend. If we can't win even if we unite, then we will be ashamed of the sacrifices made for us by the Airport Guard Regiment and the Iron Guard Brigade."
"So, now you all see clearly!" Lin Xian suddenly pointed to the black armored train behind him and said loudly: "This is not a safe travel train, this is..."
"Doomsday! Train!"
