Survival for All: I Can Extract the Essence of All Things

Chapter 211 Ling Xiao’s traces, parting ways!
"There are still more than 600 people left."

Outside the cave, the reconnaissance captain Wei Qing reported to Li Qiangjun the number of people who had escaped from the cave with an ugly face.

Hearing this number, Li Qiangjun's haggard face became darker.

When he left Cangliu Village, he was accompanied by more than 800 people.

Two, 300 people were lost along the way, half of whom he took the initiative to expel.

But now, one night later, he had lost nearly a thousand people.

Although many of them were still alive, Li Qiangjun lost the courage to enter the cave again when he thought of their expressions when they left.

"Brother Jun, what happened?"

"Yes, why did those people attack their companions?"

"Did those myconids do it?"

"Did you eat anything unusual?"

"Isn't there something wrong with the spores given by those myconids?"

The companions around him asked questions, but Li Qiangjun didn't know how to answer.

He stabilized his mind, suppressed his sadness and fear, and said to the panicked people around him:
“I’m sorry, I don’t know why that happened.

However, I am certain that this matter has nothing to do with food. "

Thinking of the behavior of those people who were left in the cave, who suddenly stopped when everyone came to the exit of the cave, and then smiled collectively.

Li Qiangjun said to everyone in a positive tone:
"Our companions are probably controlled by an unknown entity.

It could be myconids, but it could also be creatures we haven't seen before.

All in all, this cave is no longer safe.

We now have two options. One is to fight back, rescue our companions, avenge our dead companions, and regain our habitat at the same time.

Another option is to abandon your companions, leave here, and continue to look for a new habitat, or Lingxiao Village. "

After the words fell, the crowd fell into a brief silence.

The people who had just escaped from the bloody fight were in a panic, wondering whether to stay or leave, but almost no one offered to return to rescue their companions.

The unknown is the most terrifying.

In their eyes, those inexplicably crazy companions were even scarier than the viper that attacked the camp that night.

"Why are you still here? Go find Lingxiao Village."

A member of the reconnaissance team shouted excitedly to the people present:
"When we looked eastward on a mountain more than 100 kilometers away, we discovered a wasteland with sparse trees, which is most likely where Lingxiao Village is located!"

Upon hearing this, the crowd, which was originally panicked and didn't know where to turn, suddenly became excited.

"Is this true?"

"How far is the distance?"

"Ai Lin, what is the probability that Lingxiao Village is there?"

"Captain Wei Qing, is the news Ailin said reliable?"

"It's more than 100 kilometers. If we work harder, we'll be there in two or three days."

"More than 100 kilometers is the distance to that mountain, not to Lingxiao Village."

People were excited by the news about Aylin.

But Li Qiangjun was not happy about this.

Although he also expected to bring everyone to Lingxiao Village.

But thinking of his companions in the cave, Li Qiangjun still couldn't bear it.

Those people all migrated with him.

"This guy!"

Wei Qing looked at Ai Lin with a puzzled expression, a little dissatisfied with the other party's move to spread the news without permission.

Indeed, when they looked eastward, they vaguely saw a wilderness.

But he is not sure whether that piece of wasteland is where Lingxiao Village is located.

After all, the distance is too far, so I can only get a rough look.

Blindly pursuing the past based on this bit of information is too risky.

They also ran out of supplies, so they had to turn back.

But Aylin was Farouk Dawson, the American who was the first to join Li Qiangjun's team and whose power was only inferior to Li Qiangjun's.

It's not easy for him to come out and reprimand directly.

Because of Ai Lin's news, everyone began to tend to go to Lingxiao Village.

The people in the cave were selectively forgotten by them.

Although everyone has been surviving together for so many days, almost everyone is a stranger to each other.This small amount of friendship cannot allow them to risk unknown dangers and enter the cave to save people.

Seeing this, Li Qiangjun's expression darkened, but he still cheered up and asked everyone again:

"It's time to make a choice, everyone.

Should they enter the cave to regain their habitat, or continue migrating?
If you choose to return to the cave, please stand on my left.

Those who choose to migrate, please stand at my right hand. "

Although Li Qiangjun's prestige had declined due to the previous troubles, the crowd still followed his instructions and quickly separated.

It's just that the number of people standing on Li Qiangjun's right hand side far outnumbers the people standing on his left hand side.

Moreover, as more and more people stand on the right, people on the left begin to move to the right.

Not long after, the line-up ended. To Li Qiangjun's dismay, there were less than [-] people standing on his left.

"There are still many people in the cave, how can you give up on them?"

"They've gone crazy and wasting their time here is in vain."

"Lingxiao Village may not be in that wilderness. We don't know how many dangers we will encounter if we continue to move."

"That's better than staying in the cave. We don't know why those people are crazy, and we don't know how to save them."

“Hundreds of kilometers is no joke!”

"Go faster, we'll arrive in less than a week."

"Stay, everyone!"

"Don't be stupid. Only by finding Lingxiao Village can we stabilize."

The two groups kept arguing and trying to convince each other.

However, the people standing on Li Qiangjun's left hand side were more shaken, and soon more than 100 people joined the camp on his right hand side.

A day ago, Li Qiangjun would have been very happy.

His main purpose is to find Lingxiao Village, take the people who follow him, and find the best destination.

But now, he was entangled in his heart.

"Quiet!"

"Quiet!"

"Quiet!!!"

Li Qiangjun's tone gradually increased and he shouted three times in a row before the crowd quieted down.

He looked at those expectant eyes, smiled bitterly in his heart, but said in a very firm tone:
“I respect everyone’s choice.

From now on, Wei Qing will replace me as the leader of the team, leading everyone to continue migrating to find Lingxiao Village! "

Li Qiangjun pointed at Wei Qing and then at the crowd on the right.

"Brother Jun, what about you?"

Wei Qing's face was solemn. He thought of something and couldn't help but ask Li Qiangjun.

"I'm staying!"

Li Qiangjun patted Wei Qing's shoulder and said to the person standing on the left in a slightly relaxed tone:

“I took them to rescue their companions and try to regain their habitat.

If successful, there will be a way out for you. "

After hearing what Li Qiangjun said, Wei Qing, Pan Shengjie and others who had the best relationship with him wanted to persuade him, but were interrupted by Li Qiangjun.

"Needless to say, I brought those people out and left like this. I feel uneasy and always have to give it a try."

Li Qiangjun showed a smile on his face and comforted everyone:

"Don't worry, I'm not a reckless person.

Moreover, if the real thing cannot be done, I will not force it.

I will lead them to catch up with the main force. "

After hearing Li Qiangjun's words, everyone fell silent.

Although the crazy people in the cave have nothing to do with them.

But Li Qiangjun's behavior also made many people feel guilty.

Li Qiangjun encouraged everyone, summoned his cadres and leaders of all parties, and made arrangements for the relocation.

Some people chose to stay midway, but they were attracted by his personality charm.

After more than an hour, the two groups parted ways.

More than 2000 people followed Wei Qing's reconnaissance team and headed east.

There were less than 400 people left, led by Li Qiangjun, who entered the cave again.
