Chapter 238 Survivors

The rest of the people did not rush in immediately, but unconsciously cast their eyes on Lu Jiayi, who nodded before walking in.

But Rick did not move, but stood at the door looking a little hesitant. Lu Jiayi also came over and looked at him and asked.

"What's wrong?"

Rick opened his mouth, but didn't know where to start. He thought about it before explaining.

"My trust in survivors outside is very low now. After experiencing several accidents, it is difficult for me to trust strangers. In fact, I have seen the last five people at the terminal, but I let them go because of my negligence. I ran away and almost killed you when I met you again."

In fact, Rick's reaction is normal. It has something to do with his character and what he has experienced. Sometimes it is easy for a person to figure something out, but sometimes it is difficult.

Our Officer Rick is not an easy person to persuade, so Lu Jiayi didn't say much. He just gave a few words of comfort and then asked a question.

"Which one do you think is more likely to continue civilization, a team of 100 people or a team of 10,000 people? And which one will have more productivity and the ability to resist foreign enemies?"

"Of course it's a team of ten thousand people."

"Then which one of these two groups do you think is more likely to have internal problems?"

"It's still a team of ten thousand people."

"Yes, even if various internal problems arise, a group with more people is still a stronger party. This is our current situation. There are already thousands of people in the base. There have been no major problems before, but the outbreak problem It’s a matter of time.”

Rick was shocked when he heard this, looked up at his friend, and asked with some confusion.

"Since you know it, why do you still accept strangers who don't know it? Wouldn't this make the base more unstable?"

Seeing Rick's confused look, Lu Jiayi slowly shook his head. He pulled Rick to the window and whispered.

"I need to confess something to you about this issue."

"What?"

"As for the hidden dangers in the base, in fact, I have already made arrangements. It is not the responsibility of any of you, but the person I identified a long time ago. In this way, all of you will not show your weakness. And you all know this person.”

"who is it?"

"It's better that you don't know for the time being. What I can tell you is that there is a small group in the base currently planning something. They probably want to replace us people. But I need their help to help me achieve another goal. purpose. So now is not the time to clear them out.”

Rick looked at this friend he had known since the beginning of the apocalypse. He was very smart and could always save the day from danger. This made almost everyone accustomed to doing things according to the other person's instructions.

However, what happened to Lori just now made Rick extremely sensitive. He didn't question it originally, but he still raised his question.

"I wish you could tell me everything, I never want to be kept in the dark again."

Lu Jiayi looked at him silently, then sighed and whispered a few words into Rick's ear.

But he saw Rick's eyes gradually widen, and a scowl appeared on his face, but he was immediately restrained, took a few deep breaths, and then nodded.

"I know, I won't talk about this."

He stretched out his hand in front of Rick and said solemnly.

"We have to do this, otherwise our base will fall apart sooner or later. Do you support me?"

Snapped.

The two hands clapped together, feeling the strength coming from their hands, and they both smiled in unison.

…

His eyes returned to Abraham. After rushing into the house, he saw a few people lying on the ground at a glance. The light of the flashlight shone on the faces of several people. They all seemed to be resting. If it weren't for one of them sitting up when he heard the noise. , he couldn’t believe that these were several living people.

"who are you?"

The man looked at the several people who rushed into the house with some caution. He could not open his eyes due to the light of the flashlight, and unconsciously covered his face with his hands.

Abraham turned off the flashlight and picked up the weapon hanging on his chest. Although he wanted to save people, he was not a fool. He had to confirm that the other party was not in danger before he would help.

"Do you have any weapons?"

The man suddenly smiled, took out something from his side and threw it over. There was a clang, and a rusty kitchen knife landed at his feet.

And this crisp sound also woke up the other people lying on the ground. They all sat up suddenly, looking around the room in panic, and saw several strong men with guns standing at the door. .

One of the men with hair like a chicken coop shouted in despair.

"You have already taken everything away! We have nothing left, what else do you want to do?"

His angry expression was in sharp contrast to the other people who were burying their heads and hugging their knees, but it also made Abraham understand what the other party meant. They must have misunderstood.

"I don't know what you are talking about, but we are here to save people."

Hearing the word "rescue", the rest of the cowering people all raised their heads, and suddenly there was a glint in their eyes when they looked at Contra.

"Are you here to save people? Save us?"

The person who spoke before looked at the muscular man in front of him with doubt. He didn't believe what the other person said, but soon he saw the guns in the hands of these people, which shocked him. He immediately gave up and quickly made up for it. One sentence.

"I've fainted from hunger. Are you real? Is it my hallucination?"

Abraham looked at this guy a little funny and said loudly.

"Come on out, we need to see you, don't we?"

Several people walked out of the room cautiously. Only then did everyone see several people clearly. To be honest, they couldn't bear to look at them. They looked really miserable.

A total of six people stood in a row. The six people looked at this group of strangers who suddenly appeared with flickering eyes. Although the strangers said that they were not bad people, they did not believe it. After all, no one would point a gun at them. What do you think of your own people?

Lu Jiayi stood behind and looked at these people carefully. Although their clothes were very dirty, he could still vaguely see that one of them had the LOGO of Southern Electric Power on his clothes. He understood that this person was probably the target of his operation. He secretly paid attention to this person and didn't say anything, just waiting for Rick and the others to ask questions slowly.

After just finishing talking to Lu Jiayi, Rick felt a little relieved, and his attitude towards these people was greatly relaxed. He motioned for everyone to put down their guns, and then started asking.

The stories of several people were quickly told by them all.

Only then did everyone realize that not all of these six people were staff here, but three of them were chefs here. The person who said at first that they had nothing to grab was the chef of this restaurant: Frank.

Among the remaining people were a sous chef and a vegetable cutter, and two Southern Electric employees, Tom and Jerry.

The last person is named Stewart, who is the most special one among these people, because he was a close-up magician before the end of the world, but he is not famous yet, but it is said that his skills are quite good.

As Frank spoke, he also recounted the experiences of several people.
