Chapter 39 Dilemma
The words of the Cao team cruelly tore open the survivors' fantasies of happiness, and unpreparedly presented the bloody reality to them. Many of the slightly less capable people were already so scared that their faces turned pale and they fell into despair.
However, the Cao team did not let them go easily.
He pointed to the black clouds that were overthrowing the city behind everyone and said loudly without any mercy: "Turn around and take a look! Haven't you seen it? Didn't that black cloud scare you? I was afraid, the storm's silence was only temporary, it was brewing a more terrifying hurricane, and it would swallow and destroy the hill of the silver spout!"
"I'm scared, so I'm leaving here. Before the sky clears, it's impossible for the base to send a rescue team. If you want to escape, then rely on yourself!"
The words of Cao's team have caused a significant impact on the hearts of many survivors. Human nature is cowardly, so strong talents deserve respect.
These survivors did not see the terrifying black cloud, nor were they afraid that the mountains would collapse again. But if everyone did not mention it tacitly, they could continue to deceive themselves as if it would not happen. They lacked the courage. Even if they were afraid, as long as it had not happened, people could always easily deceive themselves.
However, when Team Cao put the cruel facts completely in front of them, and someone bravely stood in front of them, these survivors finally had to think about the dilemma that was facing them now.
The sea storm will inevitably come, and it will be even more violent and will not be too long.
If you stay, the mountain may be destroyed. If the mountain really falls, then staying will inevitably be buried here with the silver pot.
But if you leave, just a raft is too simple. Not to mention the storm, even if there is no storm, the danger level may be not low if you go to sea like this.
But they didn't have much time to think about it. Two soldiers had already come up to help, and the raft descending process was very smooth under Lu You's command.
Seeing that the raft had been successfully launched and had good buoyancy, but before he could see Team Cao and Li Xiaobai and others coming up, Lu You became a little impatient.
Lu You walked to the edge and urged again: "Don't be too slow! While the wind is not strong, go down as soon as possible! If the wind is stronger, it will not only sway and become more dangerous, but the rope may also be worn off!"
"Just wait! OK? Lu You, give me some more time!"
Seeing that many survivors were already moved, Li Xiaobai's pretty face turned a little red, and he looked at Lu You excitedly and begged.
Lu You looked at her, and everyone was also looking at Lu You.
"The people who are leaving will start to go down now, you guys will go down first to pick them up."
Lu You was not affected at all and still ordered command decisively. Several soldiers who were named by him looked at Cao's team, not knowing whether they should listen to Lu You. When they saw Cao's team nodding, they began to go down the mountain along the rope.
Just when Li Xiaobai's face was a little dark, Lu You added: "I will be the last one. There is not much time. I won't wait any longer if it rains!"
These words made Li Xiaobai's eyes lit up, and he was excited to thank Lu You, but when he saw that Lu You had turned around and walked away, he couldn't help feeling disappointed. However, now that time is urgent, she still knows what she should do.
Looking at the entangled people, Li Xiaobai sorted out his thoughts before speaking again: "Actually, this operation was not that terrible. Huiyang City was indeed submerged, but everyone should remember that this is not an ocean, but it is still a continent! Although the tsunami brought dozens of meters of sea water, there were not many places with high altitudes on the mainland!"
Li Xiaobai's words made many people nod, but more people still felt fear of the flood below the mountain when they thought of the tsunami that took away countless lives. This tsunami may have become an indelible psychological shadow in the heart of this generation.
"Everyone lives in Huiyang City. You should know what kind of terrain is there in the suburbs of the Planetarium? There is a hill with a hill that is hundreds of meters high and hundreds of meters high! The base is on that mountain, and it is safe there!"
Li Xiaobai is still trying to convince more survivors and carefully analyzed the situation: "And although the storm is terrible, it is storming inland, that is, towards the other side of the base! So as long as we can persist there, we can let the people from the base come and pick us up."
"And the tsunami has only impacted coastal provinces and cities such as Yuezhou Province. The inland is still safe. As long as we spend the first period, we will be washed up onto the land by the waves!"
"Sister Xiaobai, I believe in you! I'll go with you!"
After a brief silence, the short-haired girl was the first to respond, walked out of the crowd, and stood next to Li Xiaobai.
With the first person, the second person was natural. What disappointed Li Xiaobai was that after waiting for three minutes, only seven people stood up. This accounted for only one-fifth of the survivors in the camp, and more than 30 people seemed to still choose to stay.
After Lu You urged him again, Li Xiaobai was no longer willful, but let these people climb up the stone wall together.
An Jie and Chen Wei had just been in the water at Lu You's instructions. Looking at the ordinary survivors behind Li Xiaobai, Lu You didn't have much joy on his face. Instead, he said to them carefully: "You must seriously think about the decision you made. This time it's not about traveling or rafting. This time it's about to have a life-threatening look. Are you really ready?"
"Lu You! Don't scare them!"
Lu You's words angered Li Xiaobai. She finally persuaded these people. Now that Lu You said this, his face is no longer so good-looking.
Facing the angry Li Xiaobai, Lu You looked at her calmly and asked, "Take them with you, when one of them dies, won't you really blame yourself in the future?"
This sharp rhetorical question made Li Xiaobai look pale, and she seemed to understand what Lu You wanted to say.
After asking Li Xiaobai, Lu You looked at the seven people seriously and said, "Do you know why I have never persuaded you from beginning to end? One is because of respecting your choice, and the other is the most important thing is that this journey is very dangerous. You are not like Li Xiaobai and those soldiers, with excellent physical fitness and training."
"Your physical fitness and stress resistance are very poor. I don't even know if you can get ashore in one or two days, or longer, during this time, you need to soak in water, fight against bad storms and undercurrents, fight against hunger and cold, and die is just a normal thing."
After a pause, Lu You turned his head and pointed at the mountain and said, "On the contrary, if you stay here, you may have to worry about whether the mountain will collapse. But what if it doesn't collapse? Wait for a few days, and the storm passes, maybe rescue will come? Besides, even if it collapses, will it really die? If it really dies, then everyone will have no choice."
