Comprehensive manga: Starting from picking up a goddess by mistake on the ground

Chapter 748 People Living in a Desperate World (2)

"Ivan, Yare! You two will compare and correct the left and right halves with the existing map respectively, and I will copy the strategy and power distribution map."

After receiving this impeccable harvest, Rick still commanded in a calm and composed tone.

"'Sworn to the Will!'"

Hearing this order, Iwan and Yale couldn't hide their excitement and answered in unison.

It was an oath made with the dead, specifically sworn publicly to express agreement.

Then the three people quickly took out the paper, ink and measurement tools from their backpacks and began to work.

Time was tight and they had to complete the measurement and transcription of the map as quickly and correctly as possible.

At this time, Ya Lei seemed to suddenly think of a solution to the current situation.

"I said Rick, can't we take this map projection device back?"

Seeing Rick slowly raising his head, Alei continued: "That's more correct, right? This size won't make it inconvenient to carry, and we don't have to waste paper and time."

"No, we can't take things back that rely on elves to operate. Let's copy them quickly."

Faced with the plan proposed by Ya Lei, Rick refused before he could finish speaking.

"But if it's only to this extent"

"Aleigh."

Rick's voice became as sharp as a blade, and he called out Alei's name coldly.

"If you want to die, just say it and I will help you."

With his expression down, his eyes that could not reflect the light contained a dark murderous intent, Rick said in a low voice.

"After all, this is better than turning the settlement into a dead end by monsters that sense the elves' reactions."

"I, I know, I'm sorry, I was wrong!"

Startled by Rick's words and expression, Alei quickly shook his head.

"Yes, but you don't have to be so angry, right?"

Ya Lei muttered softly.

"Arrey, what Rick said is right. You won't forget our position, right?"

Seeing this, Yiwang also spoke up.

Although his tone seemed to be persuading Alei, the expression on his face was extremely serious.

Looking at the expressions of Rick and Ivan, Alei couldn't help but swallow his saliva.

"'We neither exist nor can we exist, for only by not existing can we go unnoticed.'"

"Don't you remember it clearly?"

"'It's too labor-intensive to copy the map.' It doesn't make sense to die for this reason, right?"

Seeing that Ya Lei had not completely forgotten their position, Ivan's expression slowly relaxed.

'We neither exist nor can we exist, for only by not existing can we go unnoticed. '

This is the rule set by Rick after he became the leader of his settlement.

Through strict compliance with this rule, only 13 people have died since Rick proposed this rule and became the leader of the thousand-person tribe five years ago when their settlement was once again destroyed when they were only 47 years old.

In five years, only 47 people died.

Moreover, these 47 people all died during the 'expedition', which is simply a miracle for a settlement living in such a desperate environment.

Before Rick led this settlement, when the population reached the current 2000-person tribe, the 'separation' just to solve the food problem was far several times that amount.

And if you encounter other races, the number of deaths can reach hundreds or even thousands.

It is precisely because of this that everyone in this settlement believes in Rick.

Everyone trusts their lives on his shoulders.

Although every time Ivan and Rick's dark and chaotic eyes looked at each other, they would feel sorry for him in their hearts.

After all, he is only now.

It's already so heavy on my shoulders that it's hard to breathe.

But there is no way.

The only person in this world who can do such a thing is Rick.

They can only rely on Rick.

Therefore, he will not allow others to question Rick's orders.

If Ya Lei really forgets their position, even if they are teammates who depend on each other for life and death, Yi Wang will not forgive him.

"Feel sorry!"

Yalei apologized softly.

Ivan had the same idea as Yarei.

Anyone who lives in that settlement understands the importance of Rick.

They are all willing to follow in Rick's footsteps to the death.

Just now, he just wanted to save some supplies for the settlement and had a certain sense of luck.

However, during the reprimands of Rick and Ivan, Yare also realized his mistake.

He calmed down and focused on the work in front of him.

Although they had a quarrel before, no one actually stopped what they were doing.

Even Ya Lei proposed to bring things back to the settlement.

Although the young man's vigor made him feel a little lucky, the experience of surviving in this world made him know when to do what is most important.

Even to meet death.

And just when the three of them were about to completely complete the work at hand, there was a faint sound of heavy vibrations from the ground not far away.

"!"

At that moment, the three Ricks seemed to have made an appointment in advance. They lowered their postures at the same time and rushed into the darkness to hide.

In the dark corner, the three Ricks tried their best to contain their auras.

The sound of breathing, the sound of heartbeat.

Any sounds that may be exposed must be restrained as much as possible.

As a leader, the experienced Rick took off his gloves, took out the knife, and without hesitation, thinned the tip of his index finger.

Then he pressed the exposed nerve to the ground and used his fingertips to collect the information coming from the floor, while his other hand was placed behind his ear, listening intently.

In this case, Rick never considered visual confirmation, because sticking his head out to look was simply an act of suicide.

Moreover, Rick did not consider the method of lying on the ground with his ears against the ground, because to listen to sounds other than the ground, you also need to use your ears.

Rick used this perfectly reasonable method to analyze the intelligence that the enemy had inadvertently leaked.

Even if it's just vibrations and sounds, it's possible to infer fairly specific information depending on the level and rhythm.

While analyzing the intelligence, Rick informed his companions of the situation through gestures.

"The opponent is 50 meters away from us. He is walking on two legs. There is only one person in total. His movements are cumbersome and slow. Based on the opponent's stride, it is estimated that the opponent is about six meters tall."

Based on the innocence sent by Rick, Ivan calculated in his mind the coming enemy.

Then, he came to a bitter conclusion.

"It's a monster!"

Ya Lei, who also came to this conclusion, also showed a look of horror.

That is the existence that ranks No.11 in the fifteen ranks.

It is an existence that humans cannot resist.

Once the other party discovers their traces, the best outcome would be for the three of them to die here on the spot.

As for the worst outcome?

Of course, the other party followed the escape trail and chased it into the settlement, causing all the humans in the settlement to die.

After confirming the enemy, Rick instantly turned his head and looked at Ivan.

At this moment, Ivan already knew what Rick was going to say.

"Iwan, this is an order."

"I order you to die here."

Rick will definitely say these words, and Ivan, as a comrade-in-arms, knows it very well.

Only if he took the initiative to make a sound and tried his best to attract the attention of the demon species, could he give Rick and Alei a chance to escape.

Only in this way can we preserve the greatest achievements with the least sacrifice.

The 47 people who died before him died in this way.

Therefore, Yiwang has already made up his mind.

And while Ivan was waiting for Rick to issue the order, a loud voice suddenly sounded in this silent ruins.

"Oh, you are a monster!"

　Because of yesterday's activities, I slept all morning today.

　　Then I remembered that today is Mother’s Day.

　　I went shopping with my mother again.

　　Eating out again in the evening.

　　I didn’t get home until 09:30 and have been working until now.

　　But I only wrote one chapter.

　　No way, I owe you another chapter today.
